The ferocious Huns succeed in forcing the Slavs to fully submit to their rule and eagerly join their army which immediately marches upon the Macedonian Kingdom. Upon contact with the well trained and equipped Macedon armies the Huns manage to turn the flank of the Macedon armies and using the superior mobility of their horses are able to nearly wipe out nearly the entire army of 4,000 that arrayed against them. From there the Huns are easily able to conquer the cities of Budapest and Belgrade. It seems no force in Southern Europe can stand against the Huns march. Also distressing to the Macedons is the attack of Rome in Albania. The Romans take advantage of the Macedon weakness to create a grand empire in the eastern Mediterranean. Their attack in Albania goes unopposed until the other half of the Macedon armies meet Roman troops in Kosovo. There the demoralized Macedon armies fight the Romans to a standstill despite expectations to the contrary.
The Delaware war broadens as the Cherokee make good on their promise and declare war on Honduras and Canada. They send their troops immediately to the front to stall the inexorable Canadian and Honduran advance. They do however, keep a token force to the South to defend against a possible Seminole attack. That force is not in vain. The Seminole honor their alliance with the Hondurans and send a force across the border to occupy the time and effort of the Cherokee army. The Canadians are able to crush the pocket of resisting Delaware with heavy casualties. The Canadian attack out of Michigan advances, but only slightly as a concerted Delaware attack comes head on against the Canadians as the Delaware army had tried a counterattack to free their cut off comrades. The Canadians and Hondurans make their greatest gains in the Ohio river and eastern fronts, in both areas linking up the two armies and pushing the Delaware stumbling backward toward their capital. Most effective in the war however, is the unexpected entry of the Sioux, who see a weakened Delaware and Cherokee as an ideal opportunity to test their war skills and take large tracts of land. The Sioux armies have linked up in small areas with the Canadians and an uneasy truce has settled over the two camps.
The Christian Kingdom of Axum unleashes a religious war against their neighbors in Meroe, with the sole aim of either converting the heathens or killing them. Many surrender and willingly convent while still others decide to resist the attackers with all their might. In the end it matters little as the Christians in Axum are able to dominate those in Meroe and now dominate the majority of Eastern Africa.
Sinhala founds a new opulent trade city on the island of Socotra designed for massive trade with the rich nations of east Africa. As of yet only a few minor cities of Adel have sent goods to Sinhala but all nations in the area have expressed interest in the idea of a trade hub that Sinhala has proposed.
In Southeast Asia the Geystral armies make significant gains against the Pacific Alliance arrayed to stop the spread of Geystral power in the area. With the introduction of the repeating crossbow the Geystral troops are able to lay down a murderous hail of arrows against any formation of Alliance troops. The allies have adapted well to this new weapon hiding behind the natural vegetation of the Borneo jungle to avoid the volleys of arrows. Nevertheless, the Geystral armies are able to advance ever closer to the Borneo capital. In the naval war the Geystral have mixed results. After a naval invasion force of nearly 3000 men easily surprises and overruns the small Timorese garrison on their westernmost island the Geystral navy is surprised by the whole of the Alliances navy. In a fierce battle the smaller Pacific navy defeats the much larger Geystral navy and succeeds in cutting off the 3000 troops now on that small island. One bright spot for the Geystral is their snake troops. Following their defeat off the coast of Timor the snake riders from sunken ships unleashed a last ditch suicide attack on the Pacific ships, forgoing getting rescued by their navy. The riders felt it better to die in the service of their Emperor than to fall back without destroying the enemy. The riders gather following the retreat of the Geystral fleet and ride into the midst of the victorious Pacific Alliance fleet, sacrificing themselves at the cost of more Allied casualties.
The Sumatrans are able to pioneer the use of sea astronomy in the southern hemisphere and are able to ride the prevailing currents across the great southern ocean to settle new lands on far away islands.
The Zulu are also able to send small colonization expeditions to Madagascar, a heretofore uninhabited island. The Sumatrans and both of Zululands allies also send settlers there following the Zulus success.
The Cossacks continue to push the Huns westward toward the Macedonians with a grand push north that is able to seize much territory.
The Mongols resurface with a unbelievable fury that forces the Han Chinese back to their knees. Out across the Gobi desert the Mongols are able to move 15,000 men around the rear of the Chinese fort system and take the Chinese army completely by surprise.
The Japanese are able to continue pressing their assault on Mongolia. With their ranks bolstered by Chinese partisans and minor tribes in the east the Japanese encounter little resistance. The Koreans likewise encounter little resistance as they cross their border with Japan and come across newly constructed forts on their border. The Koreans fear of these forts is responsible for their refusal to attack them and instead they make cautious advances designed to draw the attention of the Japanese away from Mongolia.
In North Africa the Vandal revolt gains momentum and the Spanish are quickly tiring of casualties from it. They have instead nearly come to terms with a Vandal Kingdom in north Africa, despite some remaining fighting. The Spanish have set their greedy eyes on the weakened Kingdom of Sicily, making numerous demands for tribute.
