Disease ravages the countryside of Mayaland, as several attempts to hold the virus fail. Like in Argentina, the economy and army have been affected.
Hawaiin settlers begin exploring and fouding settlements in South America. They are a distance away from the diseas that is killing millions in Argentina and Mayalans, but fears have aros then expansion to far inland could expose them.
In Scandinavia, a battered Polish Army makes peace with Vikingland, getting what they have captured. Germany made the same peace, although gaining much more land. Because of the lands importance in farm & resource, the economy of Vikingland has dipped into a depression.
Stunned at the Sicilians quick advances into Serbia, Macedon handed over Italy to prevent any more possible attacks.
In Anatolia, Phoenician troops have allied with the rebels in the Northern sections. This alliance has allowed them to push Macedon back into its own territory. Full of hate and revenge, anything captured in Macedon has been destroyed. This war has turned personal.
Out of north Siberian Land, the Chi-on Clan (erez's name) has been formed. It is a puppet of Mongolia and is there to deter any European invasions.
Mongol forces raze Georgia! Using thier newly acquired iron vs Georgias iron, two huge attack forces came together in Northern Georgia, crushing the medium sized army. In the south, another force has gone far into Georgian territory, coming to the border with Oman. The people there, encouraged by the Mongols, have rebelled and reformed Uzbekia. On all fronts the Georgians are losing, except for one. Scientists work speedily on new siege weapons in the capital, and are expecting them to be finished in mere months.
North Korea has been formed from the rubble of the Kingdom of Korea. It is allied to Japan and cannot seek outside allies. It can never have a navy, and its army is limited to a medium size. Being in a binding alliance, it cannot declare war independantly.
China erupts in rebellion!! Organizing for decades, a huge rebellion has taken hold of Qingdao and Shanghai, plus many others. It is immensely popular in the North East, where the people believe they will be freed and allowed as many freedoms under them. It hasnt been quite as embraced in other places, but the people there are reluctant to fight them.
Perth has now stalled in the jungles of Java. After grabbing Celebes, and managing to land on New Guinea, a quagmire appears iminent in the dense jungles of Java.
Hawaii closes its doors to the world. Beginning an era of isolation, trade routes to foriegn nations have been cut as well as any alliances. Wars are to be fought only in defense. In many ways, Hawaii is now a hermit empire.
In the barren deserts of Africa, 4 diffrent nations have begun to expand into it. Stopping them is a huge force of many, many tribes. They frequently fight among themsleves but thier skill, size, and knowledge of the land has attributed to thier success agasint the more advanced civilizations of the north and south. A similiar problem has arisen with the South Africans and Tanzanian barbs near Bantu.
All of the world, except for Assyria, Perth, Jakarta, and Argentina have Iron.

NEW FEATURE- COLONIAL ARMIES
I know i said they wouldnt come until the next age, but i decided to throw that idea out and start them now. I will be using Jasons system and for people who havent seen it, here it is:
For every colony you have, you may have a colonial army to protect it. To create colonial army, simply state it in your orders. It costs nothing to create one. They only protect that one colony, they cannot venture past it. To increase its size costs 1 economy just like increasing the regular army. I think i got everything there. Here is a list showing who has what colonies:
Hawaii: New Zealand, Alaska, Ecaudor, Polynesia (including Fiji, Marshall, Caroline, and Polynesia Islands)
Japan: China, Phillipines, British Columbia, Western Alaska, South Korea
Greenland: Northern Canada
Indochina: Southern India
Oman: Persia
Sicily: Cyprus & Crete
Mayaland: Cuba, Carribean Islands
California-Sioux Confederation: Northern Bahamas
