I mean, each dot is a city state. :). Ah well. Good job. Did you find the Blank Map yet?

(brownie points?)

Update by nightfall.
 
Update? (10char)
 
Ahhh, last few days are full of home work. When I finish my update, I will try to get a better program and better rules. However, things will stay as it is after the Update.

Here it goes!
 
130 RHE (Rise of Horzan Empire) 525 AC

Written by Head Scribe Chartes


"Ahh, it has been an interesting decade hasn't it?" Said an Assistant

"Certainly. Many forces push the world. I fear we are about to enter an age where we will finally fall."

"Fall, Horzan? The Shining Empire that lasted for 330 years? Never!"

"I feel Horzan is but a gem in a pile of coal," came the reply, "No, the dark ages will end, New Empires will rise, and Horzan will fall."

He picked up a tablet, three of defeat and one of unbelieveable Victory.

"The Fendians, did very well", he stated, "They lead their shepard and Farmer army north and with the aid of the Haittii defeated the Cunhuhunraan Shamandom.", he sighed

"What is wrong?", Asked an assistant.

Here:

Burned Tablet said:
Our allies turned against us and burned out fields! How will the Great Mother reply? --(A long hammer mark)--Their victory is near, our miltia is crushed--(A burn)-- Lord Teashmyk of the north is killed in battle! Our retreat to the west is stopped! I shall die before I surrender, with this as my record, tell the story for Centuries.
[- Cunhunhunraan Shamandm - 4 Fendian Army - 3 Haittii Army + Metal Beating]

"And here"

Marble Tablet said:
Celebrate our Victory! For they are defeated! Their city lies, ready to be ruled by the true spirit of the true shaman! Be thankful!


"What happened next shocked all his officers", he said, Shaking his head. "After vassalizing the land as what seemed to be a 'Khatirate' He attacked his allies to the north, after crushing their chariots all they have to field were masses of Infantry. However, their Iron Weapons, even decorated, is enough to push them back, the quickly retreated and post a Guard in the Vassal State."

"However, on returning, he levied a new army and smashed the drunk Haittii, who celebrated a week after every big victory. Pushing north, they reach their capital, a fort on a hill overlooking a strange see and a sprawing complex of towns and stables. There, they laid Seige."

[- 6 Fendian Army, - 10 Haittii Army, + Iron Working]

"Now, their Western Neighbors are jealous, and hearing their leader is killed in battle and they are invited to the throne, they and their allies march into a trap. The Fendian Guards poked the Norzulian Shaman full of holes and burned his guards with tar. Pushing west, their allies surrendered and his family escaped."
[- Norzulia]

"To the south, they are building a huge Army, to attack I suppose. However, they stayed there, on the edge of the desert, see their enemies destroyed for them one by one."

"However, their wars took toll, and some families got mad. However, they still believed this is for the Greater Good."
[- 5% Stabilty]


"The Other Problem," He continued, "is the Teutons of Dariz (Gaul). They are a Mixture of Darali, Erin of the north and Gustavis of the Far East. They expanded north and established itself well in the Darali Homeland. The Darali Kingdoms of the West became worried that these peoples might ruin them. While the Gustavics are just mad that they themselves didn't get to ruin them."

"Their New City is in a land of Islands. There they found trade routes to the North. There, a mixture of Erin, Darali and men from the Northern Tundra, rose the Gernnic England. They captured Tin from Kent of the Darali who rebeled to join them and expanded rapidly, creating a unified, large, and peaceful Empire."

[+ 5% Stability, + City of Kent ]

"However, From a distant Isle came Ullarics and they invaded the north of their Isle. There is know knowledge what they will do."

I'm satisfied from my own perspective, but what about the others?
 
@Charles

Here's a map of the world blown up 4 times: 7082 x 4382 pixels where I've added some resources in Scandinavia and England (cow, sheep, copper ore, fur and lumber) as an example. After some digging on the net I found a lot more usable resources.

Spoiler :

What do you think of it?

I can resize the icons to 25 x 25 pixels so you can add more on a smaller area. Now they are 50 x 50 pixels.
 
I Like it!

Make the Icons smaller and I can 'Try' to Get the Map Going.

Here are resources I 'Must' Have.

Wine +1 GPT Per trade Route and +1% Stability
Tin + 1 GPT Per Trade Route. Traded Nations gain use but not resource. Only owner gets bonus.
Wood +5% Navy over other ships + 5% faster Projects
Copper + 5% Military with use of Tin
Iron + 5% Military makes Bronze against them useless
Horse + 5% Military
Cash Crop (Cotten, Olive Oill) + 2 GPT per Trade Route
Domesticated Animals (Cow, Sheep) + 5% Stablility + 2 GPT
Trade Resource (Masted Ship, ect)
Spices + 1 GPT per Trade Route, + 5% Stablility

As you can see, Trade is important, so is Stability!
 
Haha, LESS is needed. This is not 'SUPER CIV'! This is a forum Game. :)

Also, what about effects for every Resource? This is 475 B.C. With 25 Year Turns it iwll take 19 turns to AD years. 50 Turns to 1500. :)

This is good enough. Salt (1 Free City per Age change)
Precious Gems (+0.5 GPT per city rounded down)
Stone Quarry (-5 gold per project cost per turn)
 
By the way, is an entry for England going to be done? They didn't get much coverage.
 
OOC: A significant part of this is bluff.

From Fendians
To Southern Shamandom

We Fendians have defeated the Northern usurpers, though it took us many lives. Then, despite lack of troops, we defeated the Western usurpers. Now you, as evidenced by your actions, wish to face us in war.

There are several reasons why you should not do this. First, we will be able to build an army as you cross through the deserts of the Sinai. You would face us replentished, while you would be weakened.

Second, we were able to defeat the Western usurpers when weakened by the use of strategy- when strengthened, we will be all the more powerful. Third, we have aqquired Northern technology to strengthen us, making us even stronger.

Fourth, even if we were equal in forces (as you may still believe), there is the question of risk. If you are defeated, you risk losing all to barbarians. Even if you win, barbarians might see a chance to invade your kingdom- and much of ours will fall to barbarians.

Fifth, we are willing to make you an offer. Your lands are not traditionally part of the Shamanate, and you will be rightful Shaman of them, completly independent of us. You will have rights over the Sinai, and we will send aid in your wars without you having to return the favor.

You and I will be equals, you ruling Egypt and me ruling Palestine. I will also acknowledge you as a spiritual equal, having the rights of Shaman over your own lands. Finally, if our dynasty is destroyed you will recieve all the rights of our dynasty to any lands we Fendians own by right.

Given such prospects, why gamble it all on a risky endevaour which gains you almost nothing and which could lose you everything? What you could hope to gain is nothing compared to what you would lose.
 
(:p it is almost like world war one in small scale: all are risking everything)

South Shamandom, Pharoh of all the Revil people of the Nile. God King of Egypt:
Fendians:

What is palestine? What is war? My troops are to put down the Beduin of the Eastern Shamanite that swarmed our border. (messanger gets slapped)

DUDE!


A while later, an exasperated mod, who is a space commander on a fleet, introduces them to holograms and mindwashing.


I, Shaman of Revile, Pharoh of Nile, agrees.
 
Maybe you should just retcon that diplomacy out of existence. Sorry about that, I didn't realise.
