Dude, Stonehenge is an open wonder that deals with the spread of your religion and the Chinese are building it.
Also, education isn't measured until a later era.

Build a couple ships in the Troy area, send the others there.
Have the rest of the navy come around and behind the island of Crete with one army. Unload the one army there and begin fighting them onland.
Send the navy after that to surround and attack from behind the enemy army looking for the ships at the spot we shown them too. Surround and invade.
Begin the wonder I said to start in the post after your update.

Friday or when enough orders were present.
The Standardization of Arms Progressed Slowly, two hundred years had passed and only one third of the army had been standardized, but with the new great copper deposits on the newly conquered island of Shikoku the High Warlord Yoshimo was sure that this epic project would be completed soon.
The Expansion into the small isle of Shikoku had been exceptionally successful, most of the fishing villages accepted without struggle their new rulers, only a few mountain villages had refused to subdue, probably because we would have had them relocated to other places so to establish our mining operation, these the people of these villages had been captured and enslaved, even though this disgusted the High Warrior Yamamoto.
The Huge Copper deposits the geologist had discovered were truly as great as they had told, a steady flow of copper was now shipped daily to mainland Nippon were our great smithies melted en worked it in to weapons and utensils for the people of Nippon.
The Order of the Fists of Hachiman was established, and was now ready to train Martial Arts Masters to support the great army of Nippon.
But probably the most interesting even of the last two hundred years was the official contact with the Nation of China, when returning our emissaries spoke of a nation of people Intelligent and somewhat free-thinking, deeply interested in the world around them, they. Also love order and peace over chaos and violence, and while we people of Nippon share the same love for order they notions of peace over violence repulsed the people of Nippon deeply, not that the people of Nippon are a violent blood thirsty Nation, but the Nation of Nippon is centered upon honor and honor can only be gained and protected by war.
Osaka, the now ancient capitol of Nippon, had grown greatly in the last two hundred years, but unlike in the past this growth was not so much due to the economic growth but more due to the warlords efforts into working on the Standard Arms Project.
With Most of the Copper going to refitting the armament too little was invested into agricultural and fishing equipment and so as the population of Nippon grew the supply of equipment for of agriculture and fishing did not and thus most of the unemployed workers moved to town to search for fortune there, this caused most of the cities population to boom while economically still the same, and thus creating poverty and in bad years even hunger.
Yoshimo: Warlords, the current situation in our cities is bad, beggars and other poor people fill our street, their stomachs often empty as our food supplies run dry, each winter our situation gets worse, but I will not abandon out great epic project of Standard Arms so we will have to find a solution quickly, Warlord Nashira I believe you had a possible solution
Nashira: Indeed I have my lord, as you all know we cannot launch a full scale invasion of the north, because a fighting army consumes much more one that does not, and if we let them forage food from the countryside the people we conquer will need food from us or will rebel from hunger, a while ago some of my trusted men informed me that south of my clans lands the coast of the island kyushu is very rich in fishery , these fishery are our best solution for our current food shortage
Yoshimo: Indeed they are, Ive sent a few ships of our navy with some master fishermen aboard to investigate and they confirmed you report, landing parties also discovered a few fishing villages, they seemed rather impassive towards us and told us they would be eager to have the opportunity to sell their surplus to our merchants, and they will once we conquered the island. But we will need to send there extra men too increase the production too, and thats how we will solve both food and poverty problem, when these hungry beggars will be offered a few meal a day in exchange of labor aboard a fishing vessels only a few could refuse.
Yoshimo: "the next important point on our agenda will be the Slaves we captured, I think of that the systematic and generation long use of slavery is not right, the people of Nippon never needed other to do their work, and while a few servants may help the powerful in his tasks to have a population of slave repulses me, we will resolve this problem as following: the young slaves we current have will be enrolled as apprentice Smith , with the new copper production from Shikoku we will need many more smiths in the future. The older slaves, mainly the ones who have mastered some skill like tanner or rope maker or whatever these barbarians did will be funded so that they may establish a business, the remaining slaves that did not master any skill may function as their apprentices and helpers. In other words i think these men and women have payed for their defiance towards Nippon and they will be granted freedom, any comments?
The chamber remained silent though more than one face bore a sour expression
Yoshimo: Very well, the last point is that I want to make clear is that with the new supply of copper and the soon to be producing former slave population I expect you too finish refitting the army in the with a greater speed than you have been till now, I want no excuses from you, you may even pull funds from other places too speed up the works but I want the too be finished as soon as possible

Shipwreck
Archeological evidence and some fragmentary oral accounts seem to indicate that the fist rulers of the region of Elam came from the Caspian region, where they established social order along hierarchical lines, which seem to have roughly approximated to the precedence established in the early period of conquest. From the foothills of the Elburz Mountains and the fertile lowlands along the Caspian Sea, these peoples were able to establish the necessary food surpluses and technical skills to raise a large and mobile army, accompanied by trains of supply lines, almost a colonizing force in itself. From their densely populated but primitive hut villages the Medean peoples penetrated into the Northern and Central Zagros Mountains, where they established their first urban centers, citadels of stone and earth linked by roads and trade routes. It is uncertain to what degree these cities were politically linked, but mythical accounts of the Supreme King of Elam and standardized annual tributes suggest there was a high degree of political and military centralization, probably under the authority of a single individual.

Orders
Expand west into the Zagros mountains, establish cities and trade routes and a central command system to invest authority in a single ruler, create a retinue of warrior/administrators (in conjunction with the Kings Code).
