Return To Our Roots NES 5

Update 2200BC

World Events
War once again erupts in the Americas with the Mayan and Iroquois armies launch a joint invasion of AztecLand, Omni Maya claims he is acting in the name of the American alliance.

GNA forces withdraw peacefully from Europa and Carthage decides that since the GNA has withdraw war shall not be declared and instead send their armies through the Mali Kingdom to attack the SAC.

The disease spreads further from the Twin Kingdom north and east into the Hun and Viking Empires.

Mali troops seeing the Carthaginian army pass through their territory immediately attack them, many skirmishes between the armies occur as the Carthaginians move southwards.

In reponse to the Mali army attempting to block what Hannibal has called Carthaginian justice he orders his fleet to blockade the Mali coast, wreaking the attempts to build a great Sea Wall.

The Mali economy collapses due to the combined assaults by the virus of Carthage, the skirmishes between the Carthaginian and Mali armies, the Carthaginian coastal raids of the Kingdom, and the Kings rapid forced building of useless wonders.

EDIT: Mali attack SAC near the Carthaginian holdings, the SAC due to being attack from many fronts loose land from the Mali border to the Abyssinid controlled territory.

The Chimu Empire, the Mali Kingdom, and Carthage break into the Iron Age!

Pheonicia and Persia continue to push back the Babylonians, the army of Persia has reached the gates of Babylon itself, poetic justice at its peak.

Abyssinid forces meet the SAC army in battle and humiliate the South Africans thoroughly.

The SAC is however able to make some progress against the EC colony as the EC army is still in Europe. Only the combined Carthaginian-Abyssinid attacks have saved the colony from being swallowed by the SAC.

The Sea Empire of Cambodia launches a combined naval and land invasion of India, their mighty navy blockades the Indian coast as their army surprises the Indians completely, pushing them back many miles.

The Gods cast holy fire down on Brisbane, the cataclysm causes many deaths amongst them, destroys their infrastructure and devestates their army.

Japan attacks its former ally, China, in a daring surprise attack, China looses much land due to their army being struck by disease, downsized to assist the Huns and being many miles away.

EDIT: Indians shore up the Chinese army in exchange for China assisting in building a better education system.

To: Incans
From: Chimu

It appears to us that the Northern Americans can not stay one day without fighting a single war.
I think we should both withdraw from the American Alliance, and form together the Southern Alliance.
I hope you agree with us.

To Cambondia

Why this attack? I have done you no wrong and now you have signed your dealth warrent!
 
lmsw - unless Mali is also building a Sea Wall, then you have mistaken. It is Egypt who is building the Med. Sea wall. :)

To Carthage
From Egypt

Please, stop attacking our ally in the Mali Kingdom. We all are allies, not enemies, and you have done enough to plunge Africa in war.

To Mali
From Egypt

I urge you to try and persuade the Carthaganians to a peaceful settlement. I will, however, aid you in whatever may happen. We shall not let this warmongerer erupt Africa into a war. Also, we would be most delighted to aquire the Iron Age tech from you.

To Iroquios
From Egypt

I offer you peace at current borders.

ORDERS
Continue mobilization of armed forces (preparing for war - extra training, 2nd turn).
Enough forces should be placed at borders to enact the cloased border policy.

Expand Army and Navy
Continue Med Sea wall
Begin massive farming reforms along the Nile shore to expand the farming production (economy)
 
lmsw08233, what is happening to my army? Did you just remove *another* two sizes from it? I did not mean that. When I looked after the previous update, I had lost 3 sizes. I was thinking "ok, 2 to Huns and 1 to disease" and now my army shrinks by 2 again. And the Huns still have a Medium army. And I just got 1 army size from India.
The minimum correct sizes are: Me, Very Large. Huns, Large.
Oh, and by the way, hasn't Japan been hit by the disease yet?


From: China
To: Japan
You have chosen unwisely.

From: China
To: Vikingland, Huns, TKRG, SAC
By the terms of our alliance, I hereby demand that you declare war on Japan.

From: Chinese representative to the GNA
To: Carthage Empire
Please teach us of the Iron Age, and we will accept you into the alliance. You may choose whether to join now (You will *not* be made to attack Japan) or once the war with Japan is over.

From: China
To: India
Since our trade, I

Orders:
Grow Army (to Huge.)
Build libraries to increase education and culture.
<OOC> Can I get Iron Age from my GL that I built? When will it expire? </ooc>
Take back the land that the evil Japanese stole. Attack first with Riders at the southern area, the Vikings may claim territory in the North, but *not* areas that originally were Chinese.




KAIFENG PROVINCE, EASTERN CHINA
Riders galloped across the land. They knew that their time would soon be over and that they would have one good chance to show their glory and be immortalized in legend, story and song.
Across hundreds of miles they galloped, sleeping on horseback. They had brought three horses for every two men, meaning that they could change often to keep their horses fresh.
The leader held up his hand, crying "Hee-yah!" "Stop!" A full cohort of 400 Riders swerved slightly, their horses almost seeming to dance, and were brought to a stop. "It is on the wind," said the leader, "the wind carries the scent of death."
A Chemar (commander of 40) spoke up: "Sir, we are still inside Kaifeng Province. The reports indicated that the Japanese had not been seen near the border."
"But I smell them still. They must have piled dead in hundred for the scent to carry here. Let us ride!"

KAIFENG-NINGPO BORDER
A huge tower rose above the plains, formed of black stone. The top of the tower was set with a blood-stained altar where the Japanese held offerings to their evil god. It loomed over plains which had once been fertile farmland. Now the farms were a memory, the people dead either at once or from being forced to work on the tower.
"Dust cloud to the Southwest, Sir!" shouted a guard.
"Private, you will tell me exactly what you see up there or you will be next on the altar! Dust clouds happen all the time! Besides, the Chinese could not have counterattacked so fast!"
The private on a lookout post swallowed nervously. He brought up a complex eyepiece with one piece of glass in front of another.
"Sir, it definitely has to be something alive! Coming here at a good pace, it might be here in as soon as two hours!"
"TWO HOURS?" shouted the commander, now fairly angry at being roused from his sleep. "Warnings are to come when-" The guard cut him off.
"SIR! They are Chinese Riders!"
"Confirming that!" yelled another guard.
The Japanese commander muttered to himself. The tower was not yet quite finished. If the Chinese attacked, he would have to surrender or fight in a half-finished tower that he had not yet come to know.

Half an hour later...

"Stop!" shouted the Damar (commander of 400). "We should be within their sight range now. Chei, bring out the flag!" The young recruit known as Chei opened his saddle-bag. he brought out a flag and handed it to the Damar. Then he pulled out several short poles, clipped them together and let the Damar hoist the flag. It was a red banner, with one yellow stripe across. Anyone who saw it would know its meaning: No quarter. No surrender. This legion of Riders would now fight to the death.
They continued riding towards the tower.

Here ends Glory Be, the first book of the saga of Riders.
The second, Onwards to Fate, will be available from Erik Books from approximately next week.
 
occ: I have been sick in hospital for the last few days I am catching up now.
 
lmsw08233 could you please update my stats on the first page. I put down my govement on page 21. Also the trade between me and china. (Army for Education)
 
Seeming as I was away for 5 FRIGGIN DAYS AND GOT PUNNISHED FOR BEING LAID UP IN FRIGGIN HOSPITAL and bascically destroyed I am quitting. I mean some people from time to time do have problems you know. I think its a bit rich that I lose all my army and have rebellions and have HOLY FRIGGIN FIRES and whatever else just cause I am laid up in hospital with ****ing food poisioning. Thanks alot for ****ing it up for me ISMW
 
NOW WAIT!This update is completely WRONG!!!I ordered to attack SAC too,so my troops would certainly not have attacked the Carthaginians,but helped them.I'm sorry if this means work for you,but I ask you to redo the update completely or I'll leave at once.
 
OOC: Sorry kennelly i missed where you said to attack the SAC. I will take it as if you had and include it next turn. I only saw you order the sealing of the Mali-Carthage border and the order to prevent anything from Carthage going through your Kingdom, so I took it as to attack when Carthage moved through. So that part stands. But to make up for the mistake with missing your attack ill give you a good event next turn.
Sheep2 please explain to me how I was supposed to know you were in hospital? This has been the umpteenth time you have missed an update, so I took it as you had buggerred off again. Since you have done it so much i decided a punishment for your nation was in order. But since you were in hospital and you stick around ill give you a good event next turn, ok?
Rev, sorry about that I forgot about it, ill fix it just now.
Jason, the Mali were building a sea wall also.
Erik, it wasnt brought down three sizes last turn, it was brought down one size because of part of your army was killed by the Carthage virus. This turn you gave a size level to the Huns, part of your army was destroyed between fighting in Europe and the Japanese attack.

MAP EDIT: The Mali control a part of the SAC from the Carthage holdings, Mali border to the Abysinnian holdings in the east.

I have repaired what mistakes I made in the update, but the rest stands. I know like this seems like a pretty bad update from some of your positions, but things like this happen in real life so i try to make it as realistic as possible hence why there are bad events which happen to you.
Although I realise I was a bit harsh to sheep2 so ill make it up to him. The rest of you if you have a complaint about what happened to your country live with it, bad things happen in real life, plans are update, things destroyed, its the same here.
 
Prime Minister King Nichcaman was gettins sick of those "northerners" All they knew to do was war, nothing else, just warring all time, he wanted to get out of the American Alliance, he would have not be dragged into a war he didn't believe in.

"Mr President, if we call ourselves out of the AA, wouldn't we be attacked by the rest of AA as well?"

"Maybe, it could be, I already sent an envoy to the Incans, about a possible withdrawal from the AA, and invited them to form with us the Southern Alliance, if they accept, we will both withdraw from the AA, if they refuse, than we will have to stay in the AA, so to not get attacked in a double front"

OK, thanks for some fixing on the Update.
Do I get a bonus for writing a good story? Did anyone like the story at all?
 
I do not understand why the Carthaginians just didn't ask.We're allied and not too long ago we fought TKGR together.If they had just asked,I would have let them passed (as the disease is already in Mali Kingdom).Or was it Carthages intention to get to war with me?If not,you as leader of the Carthaginians are to blame,lmsw.My economy has collapsed and I'm forced to fight a two-front war only because you just DID NOT ASK.I really don't understand this.This is completely ridiculous!
 
Cambodia:

Cambodia the new govement of india is not apart of any war nor a supporter of any war. I ask you leave the Indian sub-contentiut alone and withdraw to your own lands.

My new orders are to finish concution of the great temple ordered last time. Also start buliding a seris of school threw out the country so that children can be educated.
 
OOC: Kennelly it was your troops who attacked Carthage, not the other way about. Like i said I took your orders as an order to repel any Carthaginians crossing the border, and from the view of Carthage they were your allies and by the alliance could pass through your territory, they did not expect you to attack, but as how i understood your order that is what happened.
Id like to remind you of two things, one this is a game, however much it is based on reality, it is a game and two diplomacy. It works.

From: Japan

What would you have us do? submit the will of China and be dragged into a war that we left the alliance to avoid.
Think on it from our point of view, China does not dictate policy on us and had they ordered you in the fashion they ordered us you would have reacted in the same way.
Also they said if we did not obey they would declare war. We had absolutely no intention to obey, we are not a satellite state of China, therefore it goes to assume that a state of war existed between us.
We simply took the initiative. You would have done exactly the same thing.

To: Cambodia
From: Japan

Withdraw from India immediately or we shall set aside our war against China and war with you once again.

To: China
From: Japan

We will withdraw our mighty army if you give us a full apology delivered to the Emperor himself in Kyoto, as well as your solemn promise never again to attack us by penality of expulsion from your alliance of the GNA.

To: Cambodia
From: Parsa-Pheoni Pact

We are not the aggressors here. Babylon attacked us and we are retaliating. Be quiet and mind your own business.

To: India
From: Parsa-Pheoni Pact

As our good friend we pledge our support to you and once we have destroyed babylon we shall come to you and destroy Cambodia.

To: Mali
From: Carthage

We deeply regret that war has occured between us but you should have thought of that before you attacked our troops moving to assist our allies.
If you want peace we shall give you it.

To: Chimu
From: Sapa Inca God of the World

If you declare me your one true god then I shall submit my people to your aid.
