The cost to reaching the Copper Age is 100 LPs. As soon as someone reaches that, I'll adjust for the costs for the next age and so on and so on.

Any city name?

I'm assuming you've read the books, so I'm pretty sure you can figure out what the city on my island will be called.

Either way, it should be pretty easy.

華夏
Huaxia

Huangdi looked over the village of Shou Qiu. Once he was known as Gongsun Xuanyuan, but that was a time before the Mandate of Heaven called. Now he was the Yellow Emperor, destined to rule all the lands of China, and perhaps one day, all that was under the heavens. But for now, he was merely Emperor of his village. Of course, he thought, an Emperor needs a palace. Shou Qiu could no longer be a village when it would be the future capital of all China. But even as he thought, workers were already upgrading his home; tearing down the sod and rebuilding it out of mud brick. Similar construction was underway in the rest of Shou Qiu. One day, he hoped, the city would have beautiful parks with ponds filled of fish with scales of gold and gardens of beautiful peonies and chrysanthemums, but that was in the future. For now, Shou Qiu was only a village, though one that was well on it's way to becoming a full city.

10 LP to upgrading Shou Qiu to a city.

Alliances

Cities

Spoiler :

Targaryen rests in the Eastern Mediterranean. It's key position may make it a valuable trade center between the west and east some day.

Wertania (United Federation of Snapir): 3 LPs
Wertania is a new city that looks out on the Baltic Sea. Snapir has solidify their position as the most powerful force in the Baltic Sea.

Shou Qiu (Huaxia): 3 LPs
Shou Qiu is a city in East Asia that acts as an administrative center for Huaxia.

Jerusalem (Israel): 3 LPs
Who knows what's going on here? No major trade route possibilities at the moment and it's built JUST out of range of a coast. Only the Israelites know the larger plan probably.

København (Bering): 3 LPs
No one's going to screw with these guys. That's all we know.

Commentary

Spoiler :

Global

New cities are rising and with it, population density is growing. These cities act as fortifications in their own right. After all, barbarians may harass the countryside but how could they possibly take a populated city without a little more manpower than disorganized warlords often have. The most iconic of these new cities is the Huaxia city of Shou Qiu.

On the other hand, many cultures are choosing to expand farming. This has proven to be a good short-term choice but will it be a good choice farther down the lane?

The average Leadership Point total of the world is ten.

Creating a city costs 13 LPs this turn. The new city would generate 4 IPs.

Europe

The British proven themselves to be early birds. The British were the first to rapidly expand farmland in the name of economic growth. Euskaldunak has chosen the same path. House Targaryen, on the other hand, built the first city in Europe and by extension, the world. Wertania was founded by Snapir very soon after.

North America

København has been founded by the Bering Tribe.

South America

In South America, the Colombo Tribal Federation is born.

Africa

The Somaliland Empire is born.

Asia

Shou Qiu, the seat of power of Huaxia, has been expanded from being a mere village to being a city. Unlike many other cities in the world, this one seems to have a long-term goal behind the city-engineering. Only time will tell if Shou Qiu will live up to expectations. Jerusalem was built soon after.

The Kasanazi Culture and Iraf expanded the countryside.

Oceania

Oceania remains gripped by barbarians.

Map Error: Jerusalem is spelled wrong. Will fix for next update.
