Update Three: 590AD
As the Iberians expand north near Portugal the East Iberians build up thier army on the border of Grenada. The Iberians of Grenada do the same though find themselves outnumbered three to one. The people of the border villages grow frightened as they seem thier ruler is doing nothing.
In Southern Europe the Illyricums continue to use thier snow method to rid the people of thier overwhelming thirst. Though the population grows and more is needed. Many die in a matter of two years and the research is still slow at 100%. The nation is in need of more money to continue funding and increasing the speed of the research to save the people.
The Thessolonican city near Macedon joins King Phillip as he moves his army north to fight the Thracians who flee from the Huns. As they are terrified from becoming Hun meat the Thracians burn whatever they see and run through Macedonian land. Just as leaving the Macedonian army meets them, at the Macedonian capitol of Pelium. The battle was raging as the panicing Thracians did whatever to win, though as untrained as they were, they suffered a loss to the Macedonians. Many casualties on both sides as the Thracians fled to the west. Feeling confident of thier victory they moved north to pillage the old Thracian fort, they gain a couple gold pieces though find a messenger from the Huns.
In Greece the Spartans the the Athenians continue to fight as thier stalemate ends. The impressive Athenian tactics and strategy totally gets the Spartans off guard gaining much land for Athens as thier army crushs the Spartans. The Spartans are now dependant on conscripts of the people, though continuos defeats worry them. Many lands rebell from Sparta and join Athens.
In England the intense researching of Iron Works have been finished! New weapons like the Sword has been developed. Though the fight against the Anglo-Saxons continue, both sides begin to ware each other down. The Anglo-Saxons are driven out of Briton lands while pillaging many towns on the way. Briton lost much gold, though they have thier lands secure, for now.
In Asia minor the Philistines fully load thier ships and commit themselves to no more Athenian attacks. Instead, they invade Byzantium. The Spearmen with not too many troops defending try to defend though flee from the city. The Philistines take alot of gold and retreat to thier nearest base.
The Italians begin to grow fond of peaceful expansion, and so like the Papacy, they build a city. This economical boost makes them the most richest nation in the world, after the Papacy.
The Catalans attack! They massacre MANY civilians and MANY troops. They loot much gold and leave the Spainiards in a total disadvantage. The people become overwhelmingly disloyal and scared thinking that thier ruler is dead without speaking for 30 years. Thier income decreases by two gold. Though some light comes as the new Spanish Spearmen was recruited and ready for a counter attack.
The largest attack of Europe has been done in France. The Germanic and Visigoths pierce through the Frankish lands like a knife with butter. The casualties and losses where much more than that of Spain and thier Catalan attack. The population was nearly halved, and most of the army was decimated as the Germanics killed each and every one. Only 100 legionaries was left to defend the lands.
Diplo:
From Huns
To Macedonians:
You should well enough know of our bloody reputation of killing, and so you maybe even fear us by the way the Thracians were taken from thier lands. We will leave you in peace, only if you pay us a generous tribute of gold to save the lives of your people, and even yourself.
From Thessolonica
To Macedonia:
We still await your gold payment.
OOC
YOU GUYS WILL NEED TO TITLE YOUR ORDERS WITH THE NAME OF YOUR CIV WITH YOUR ORDERS, OR ELSE YOUR ORDERS WILL BE IGNORED
@Death, your horseback thing... it has to be a tech to research... sorry. Soon, I will make technology faster where you can research multiple techs at a time, but for now its only one unless you switch. I also changed your nation name to the Britons, it sounds better.
@Constantine, you got no expansion becuase you didn't specifically said where to expand.
