-global events-

Roman navy loses naval battle in the Black Sea. Thanks to the most brilliant admiralship in history since the battle of Crete, a Russian fleet defeat the Romans with a fleet 3 times their size. On all fronts to a display a ferocity Russian Cossaks have been defeating armies 2 or more times their size. Only the Romans have been able to advance thanks to superior training.

Iriquois troops advance rapidly into both the NEC and the Aztec Empire. NEC has been almost split in half and will be should the city of Boston be taken. A man named George Washington (ironically born thousands of years before his time) has led the NEC forces in a desperate defense there.

The old plauge, thought to have been driven extinct thousands of years ago has resurfaced in the East and killed thousands of Chineese. The old remedy provided by the Chineese and Egyptians has had no effect. In response Babylon has once again closed its borders as has the Arab Confederation. The plague has driven any settling attempts to a halt.

Civil War breaks out in China in between Catholics, Jews, and Muslims. All together China has broken into 4 states: Korea (greyish sort of color), Mongolia (greenish sort of color), and Shanghai (blueish sort of color). That is including the loyalist state. As an added casulty of the civil war the armed forces has split apart.

In Europe the Franks have revolted from English and Spainish rule under the leadership of a great woman know as Joan of Arc.

erez, i started at 1 GMT got done 30 minituites later as you see.
 
EQ, why do I get less good events simply because I am short on time?

Anyway, I just repeat the same orders: Upgrade the army, upgrade the navy etc. Basically, in my absence I'd have thought my lords were at least half capable of doing that.

Britain will NOT act in any crusade yet, we are instead preparing ourselves for expansion into Canada.

TO SOUTH AFRICA
FROM BRITAIN

We will allow you to have the colony north of you in return for you trading large amounts of grain etc with us for our wool, enough to make our economy prosperous once more.

TO SPAIN
FROM BRITAIN

You can have our North African colony in return for helping us update our navy to large Dark Age size(basically upgrade without loss of size).

TO GERMANY
FROM BRITAIN

We will allow you to have our mainland European holdings in return for you aiding us upgrade our army to medium Dark Age(without loss of size in other words).
 
This is ridiculous, how can these:

Egypt- Jason the King
Republic
Religion: Islam
Age: Dark Ages
Army: Very Large Dark Ages
Navy: gigantic Dark Ages
Airforce: NA
Economy: Very Prosperous

India: Kennelly
Republic
Religion: Catholic Christianity
Age: Dark Ages
Army: Very Large Dark Ages
Navy: Medium Dark Ages
Aiforce: NA
Economy: Very Prosperous

And Rome all be MUCH more powerful than me despite my orders continually being to keep up with them?!

I just don't get the system...

Nemesis
 
Here is a question for you:

Would you rely on city governors in civ3? In my games they always want to build calvary when they should be building tanks, privateers when they should be building Aegis Cruisers. So why should you rely on the governors in this? Look what they did to Vikingland which was once the most powerful. On another note: don't worry nothing lasts forever. Look what just happened to China and Spain.

Also some of you have this bad habit of thinking everything can be done instantly. When a nation goes NPC then i just sorta let them run on autopilot unless they are important, like Persia was or Eithiopia.
 
The war had draged on for generations. The Romans had made slow progress in Russia and had lost to the Russian navy while going through the straight into the Black sea. The Black sea Navy after the defeat was kept at bay, and was upgraded along with all remaining ships to the Dark age technology. The navy would be out of this war for now.

The Army was losing key battles winnig a few. The Russian assaults in the winter and the constent gurrila tactics were taking a toll. Only the Romen training was the key to their success. You must fight fire with fire, and the Romans prepared for winter. Getting used to the gurilla tactics and supplies were slowly becoming better.

Thousands of Emmigrants had settled in the captured land. They created Roman comunitys in Russian citys and towns and set up their own. They farmed the land to provide more supplies. The first great census of Rome was taken in this year. The first time a sicilian became Emperor.

Times looked good for the average Roman. But the military Roman was a diffrent matter. They had to be trained for several years for the winter. Then they were kept for order or sent to the front. The Roman army was still growing. Every day there was recruits. Army families were set up in Rome for the first time.

A soldier may wed but if he bore a son then that son at the age of 12 would learn to be a soldier and learned to be a Roman(incase of Russian brainwashing). This kept the Army freash with more soldiers.

The navy had cut backs. Some sailors were sent to the front. Them large loss at the Black sea had lowered morale and had scared the navy to the ports. Once hundreads of ships roamed the great medditaranian every day, now only a few dozen were sent out beyond Roman boarders. The escort of trading ships was reduced from 5 to 2.

Rome was becoming better and worse at once.

Census

60% Roman
20% Greek/Turkish
10% African
5% Russian
5% Other(English, Spanish etc)

Marrige
40% Women married

95% to civilians
5% to Army/Navy personal

Romen Russia:
55% Men
45% Women

67% Russian
18% Roman
10% Greek/Turkish
5% Other(African, Spanish etc)

Russian Marriges
60% Women Married

70% to Civilian Men

(This was just to show how my conquests are "Rominized" at not fully russian people that want to destroy me. )

Orders:

Continue Russian expansion.

Work on Economy to become Very Prosperous
- Build temples, markets, city improvements, taxing, better censuses etc.

Messages:

To Catholic Powers alliance:

Maybe we should end the war with Russia soon

To: Spain

We should strengthen our trade routes and strengthen economic ties. (This is to help both of us to reach the next economic level faster)

To Russia:

We would like to extend an olive branch. the only agreement is that we keep our winnings. Many of our non-russian citizens live in this region and many of our Roman-Russians feel that this war should end soon.
 
"The world was in trouble and so was Arya.His Catholic brothers from Spain and Germany had been driven back by the Russian heretics.And his Spanish brothers had lost their French territory due to a revolt led by a woman!But all this was even nothing against the trouble in the East.His ally China has fallen apart into 4 small states according to the religious borders and atrocities were commited all over the place.And,most worse,the plague had returned;it had already killed Millions of Chinese and thousands of Indians.As the plague was already here there was no sense in closing the borders to the East.But possibly the plague could help him."

"All money not needed for the army was to be spent on the search for a cure.If he found it first he could be as powerful as Egypt was thousands of years ago when they had the cure.Meanwhile he gave new orders for the army.1/4 should patrol Babylons border,1/2 patrol Russias border and 1/4 should begin a full scale attack against the rebels in Shanghai and their strange African faith.Furthermore he ordered to bring plague victims into Russia and Babylon so the plague could destroy the enemies of the true faith."

To:Catholic nations
From:India

As the plague could begin spreading in Russia and Babylon soon,I suggest you close your borders and retreat from Russia as fast as possible.When the Russians are decimated and we have a cure we can return much easier.
