Hello everyone, and welcome to my first story here in the S&T forums. I would like to thank all of you who have been here before for creating this interesting place which caught my attention some months ago for the first time.
As you may have noticed, I have been participating in some stories developed here for some time already, and with Noyyau's advice I started playing this mod, which convinced me I had to write a story about my first play through the game.
I still have no idea what to call my story, mostly because I have no idea what it'll become (and I too have no idea what IAAR, AAR and anything else means
). By now it'll be more a story I'll tell you, but maybe with time things get more interactive.
For now just stick to your seat, grab some food and join me in this Gigantic game, the most interesting story about the Iroquois, but not the one you are used to. This time we will be in a completely new world and within the Kingdom of Iroquois, a nation that has been said to have first developed around 6000BC.
Settings:
Mod - Rise of Mankind: A New Dawn (RoM-AND)
Gameplay - Multiplayer (simultaneous turns, no world builder)
Size - Gigantic (2 sizes above Huge)

Speed - Marathon (actually 2400 turns, instead of normal 1500 turns of vanilla Marathon)
Difficulty - Emperor (it's my first game, so I thought it would be safer to go on an easier difficulty then I'm used to)
Options - I won't list them here, because it's a loooooooong list. If you are truly interested you can ask me and I'll post it. Notable options: Require Complete Kills, Revolutions On, Tech Diffusion, Ruthless AI.
This is the Iroquois Kingdom at 1446AD, a kingdom formed by Six Nations: Mohawk, Roieza Sano, Gasosofn Eerl, Brandenburg, Gojoseon and Elum Eten. Let's have a brief explanation of these lands:
Mohawk: The original Iroquois tribe land. This land developed itself from the early days of civilization until it's boundaries were already encompassing all of Mohawk and Roieza Sano. The early tribes of Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Caughnawaga, Seneca and Tuscarora formed an alliance to stand against the evil Brandenburg tribes known as the German. The Kingdom was originally formed during these times. It's the mainland of the Kingdom now and named after the Capital City.
Roieza Sano: Colonized by Mohawk settlers during the later days of pre-Brandenburg conquest, Roieza Sano saw a slow development. Now it's not only one of the best developed regions of the realm but the place where the biggest fights take place. The region is named after the Sea of Roieza Sano which divides this province from Mohawk.
Gasosofn Eerl: Once known as Lower Brandenburg, this place was colonized by German people. After conquering Brandenburg Mohawk armies marched south and destroyed the German city of Munich in 471AD. Then they founded the city of Nowadaga to replace it. It's named after the Bay of Gasosofn Eerl north of it.
Brandenburg: Originally the nation of Germany lived here. They were a fierce tribe which got softer and more scientific oriented. They developed the Hellenism Religion and built two Wonders: The Temple of Artemis and the Chichen Itza. The relations between the tribes was of always war but no serious incursions, just some border skirmishes took place. When all the land of Mohawk and Roieza Sano were colonized, the Mohawk Kingdom decided it was time to free all these lands from German control. Berlin was conquered in 397AD and Hamburg in 442AD. It's named after the German name for itself.
Gojoseon: Gojoseon was the land of the Koreans, another fierce tribe which by millenia stood close to Mohawk against Germany. Instead of skirmishes like the Mohawk, Korea advanced inside Germany and drived both nations to a great war. But when Mohawk had conquered all of Germany, Korea shifted it's alliance and started to close relations with Mohawk. This convinced the Kingdom to annex Gojoseon as well. P'yongyang fell in 525AD, Seoul in 540AD and Namp'o in 552AD. Then the Pusan territory accepted to become a vassal of the Iroquois Kingdom, which resulted in the creation of the Pusan Duchy. It's name comes from the Korean name of the land.
Elum Eten: Named after the Gulf south of it, Elum Eten is the last nation to join the Iroquois Kingdom. It was colonized in 756AD after the consolidation of Gojoseon and the Pusan Duchy.
Other Holdings: Nobamba Isle fell in 612AD to Iroquois domain as the price for entering the war against the Zulu Kingdom with the Turkish Republic. uMgungundlovu (conquered in 834AD), far off and disconnected with the Iroquois land was the price for another request to join against the Zulu Kingdom (a place the turkish were never able to hold entirely). This sparked tensions between Turkey and Iroquois, resulting in the Iroquoi-Turkish war (978AD - 1065AD), ending in the vassalage of the Turkish Republic. The isles of Powhaten and Mingo were colonized prior to the conquest of Berlin.
The Arabian Duchy: The arabs were once friends to Iroquois, but as the years passed relations began to strain because of diplomatic situations. The Kingdom of Iroquois didn't want to conquer Arabia until the capitulation of Turkey. At this time the army could be divided between a small task force to hold the Duchy of Pusan from Assyrian assaults (a historical enemy of the Iroquois since the capitulation of Pusan), and two main forces: One to defend the homeland and the other to strike what had to be striked. Arabia was not well developed, the nearest land, full of resources and it was the only civilization of a big island. But the main reason was the knowledge about the two super powers across the ocean: The English Republic and the Viking Republic, both bigger and stronger then the Iroquois Kingdom as whispers said. So the Iroquois knew they had to become bigger to compete with these possible new threats.
The Arabian wars (1116AD - 1260AD and 1287AD - 1308AD) ended in the capitulation of Arabia under strict Iroquois control.Nominally the Arab Duke is the owner of the land, but they answer to iroquoian governors. It's now under complete Iroquois control after Duke Abbas II staged a revolution and was thwarted by our intelligence network agents.

I'll come up with new info later, and save two posts under this because I've seen lots of people doing this and I guess it might be useful later. One I'll already use to talk about government (something that may get more interactive as the game is developed). By now this is it, and soon I'll start playing the game and post the future of the Iroquois Six Nations Kingdom.
