Return to Our Roots- We're BaaaaAAAAack

-World Events-

Zulu tribe emerges! With this new civilization, South Africa has finally begun to pull together like the nations of the north.

The Selucid Empire has also emerged, blocking Egyptian northern expansion. Most of the members of the empire are very much anti-Egyptian and are clamoring for war over Palestine.

Existing civilizations have begun expanding their territorial claims as more and more land is claimed under existing monarchs and cheiftans. In addition, new farming methods have improved economies across the globe.

Russia builds massive army! The Russian kingdom now has the largest standing force in the world.

With their new army the Russians have invaded Ural, catching them somewhat divided and disunited. The northern part of Ural has fallen, and the remaining forces have fled south. The Russians, marching closely behind the Urallans have slaughtered all men over 20 and enslaved the women and children, while allowing Russian settlers into the new land. As a direct result, a portion of the Urallian economy has been destroyed.

Zululand

The chief was happy with hard work his people had done to help make themselves stronger. They were no longer a tribe but a true civilization on the rise. With great expansion to the north the population and morale was on the rise. Towns were being built with more on the way. But cheif also realized that to have a strong nation he would need a strong military. Many worthy men joined the ranks willing to do whatever it took to succeed. Since most men had been raised to do hard work and fight they were a naturally a good fighting force. But the chief didn't just a good fighting force, he wanted a big one so he put his military increasing plan into action.


Orders

increase army
continue to expand north establishing more towns along the way

 

[North King]

I'm afraid I'm going to quit. I didn't get the nation I wanted, and I'm not in an Indian mood like I thought it was. It is a lame excuse, I know. But I simply don't have the interest. Sorry, EQ, hope the NES goes well.

 

[EQandcivfanatic]

ok, North King, it happens.

Anyways, update will hopefully be Friday or Saturday night. Get orders in as well as stories.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

OOC: I vote for wonders. Looks like I may be the only one to vote.

Empire of California

Empire of California: Jalapeno_Dude
Age: Stone Age
Government: Theocracy
Economy: failing
Army: tiny Stone Age
Navy: NA
Air Force: NA

"We shall go towards the rising sun." The people cheered. "It is our destiny to explore all of the lands from the Great Waters on one side of the world, to the Great Waters on the other side. And that is what we shall do." The people cheered wildly as the Emperor got down from the speaking platform.

As he headed back towards his palace, the 224th Emperor reflected upon the actions of his father, grandfather, and his legendary great-grandfather, the one who had begun it all. And he would continue it. He had a feeling that time was running out before other creatures, perhaps even other people, would be summoned by the Gods to test the Empire. And he wanted to be ready.

As his ancestors before him had done, he would encourage farming, especially in the rich, although rainy, frontier of the Empire in the far north. That way the Empire would be prepared for whatever challenges it might face.

Orders
-Increase Economy.
-Send Settlers east, protected by 3/5 of the army.
-1/5 of the army guards the frontiers.
-1/5 guards the capital of San Diego.
-Start Wonder: Great Market of San Diego (+4 Economy) (1/?) (If we can have wonders)

 

[EQandcivfanatic]

@jalepeno: that would make it easier for you to win, no?

 

[jalapeno_dude]

Yes. But that's only fair. I read the entire updates.

I want credit for knowing how these things work, unlike some other newbs (i.e. JackA).

 

[Fëanor]

At the Yearly gathering of the Great Iroquois Nation, all village chief were present, not only because it was a customary yearly gathering but more because of the rumor that the Great Chief Thunder-Dancer had received a Eagle Dream, Eagle dreams were rare occasional dreams a chief would get, and with the aid of these dreams he would decide the future of his village, and him being the Chief of Chief means he would decide the fate of the nation.

"I've seen the Eagle!" the Chief declared, his deep thunderous voice commanded silence and attention for all the men present.
"The Brother Eagle was flying over the Missouri River, with beak and talons full of fish, and his eyes saw great herds of Tatanka, herding on the fertile lands and drinking the river's fresh water! West we must go! We will sleep were Father Sun sleeps!"

ORDERS
Expand West North-West, mostly in the area near the Missouri River.
Increase Economy by irrigation from the river.
And if the Wonders are allowed then continue/start the wonder i wanted before this update.

OOC: I vote YES for wonders, as long as they remain reasonable with one or two effects

 

[Erik Mesoy]

OOC: I vote YES for wonders, as long as they remain reasonable with one or two effects

My wonder has 2 effects and 2 that are storyline things. I doubt they'd do anything (rebellions? At this time of the NES??) , but I'm going to have a story once it's done and I want the prereqs in place.
