staznes- From the Dawn of Time

Minor revolts in Mayalands Carolina provinces are put out and without further violence.

Uprisings stop in the newly annexed lands of Eastern California. But people are mad over the incident of constructing Seattle to appease them, as Seattle is already the capital of California ;) They demand a name change.

The small enclave of land seperated from the Californian nation has been given to Mayaland, as the Californian Army is unable to support it as is.

All of South America has been claimed, except for the tiny St.Georgia island chain in the southern Atlantic.

The war in southern South America has reached a deadly point. The Rio/Monarchists have taken everything except the long strip of the Andes mountain. Getting over them is deadly and costing thousands of lives, while Chile suffers minimumly.

England is born!! After negotiations with FNA officials, it was decided that allowing them to be independant would help in the end. The terms of the treaty were also revealed:

1. England agrees to sign an alliance with FNA.
2. England agrees to sign and pay for a trade route with FNA.
3. England agrees not to sign alliances with any nations that are not allied to FNA.
4. England agrees not to declare war on any nation without consulting with FNA first.
5. England agrees to immediately declare war against Poland and to send help to northern Russia, where FNA is invading Poland.
6. Both England and FNA agree to defend each other if either one's soil is invaded.


FNA attacks Poland!!! Invading from the north, the FNA landed at the former Suzdal lands, after a fierce clash of navies. Spearheaded by the FNA's Artic Knights, who are well adapped to cold and are great leaders, the FNA has made moderate advances alongside England, who made less advances due to thier little training. Suzdal rebels picked up where the left off, rioting against the 3rd nation in as many turns. That has made FNA soldiers stop momentarily in thier advancing.

Russiya invades Poland as well, engaging in heavy skirmishes with the Polish Jagiellonian Guard. Much like the FNA, this invasion was headed by the Muscovite Guards Cavalry. But advances come slow, due to the superior training of the Jagiellonians. But they may need an upgrade quick if they are to handle the new technology of the Russiyans....

The HFE and the Netherlands also invade Poland. The HFE, with newly trained soldiers, march into what was once Germany. Dutch soldiers also arrive. Huge battles with Jagiellonian Guards have kept the French

Blockade!! Using thier entire navy, the FNAand Dutch have blockaded trade to Poland, destroying all Polish trade & military ships that have tried to break the blockade. (-2 economy)

The religous insurrections in Poland, although fueled by the invasions, still have fell back against the might of the Pole Army.

Golden Horde invades Yalta!! Using a two-pronged invasion, the Golden Horde's swift Knight/Keshik combination (Knishik). Most of the Black Sea coast has been taken, whole coastal cities have been burned to the ground severaly hurting Yaltese trade. More reliance on the South American colony has now been placed.

Kingdom road finished in Phoenicia!! The economy takes a great leap (+2) as goods are easily taken back and forth through the different countries.

Christianity, it seems, is not welcome in Phoenicia. Over 800,000 Christians in the West Kingdom, and 500,000 in the East Kingdom, have been killed. They are constantly jeered at and killed within towns and villages as well. Many have immigrated to nearby Oman for asylum.

Coup in Uzbekia!! Tired of the constant famines and horrible living conditions, the old clanship was abolished and a republic established. It was short lived, when the General Ahmed marched his army on Dushanbe and forced the republic to accept his rule. Shortly after, he declared the state religion of Uzbekia Islam, beginning a long process of "Islamic Cleansing".

Sibir is almost gone, a victim of three invasions. The newest one is from Japan, who quickly nabbed the southern Kamchatska Peninsula. Korea and Mongolia have both routed the Sirbiran armies to the northern forests, where they seem to have disbanded.

A horrible locust swarm in China has affected large rice crops, starving thousands. The effects having reached any neighboring nations of yet.

True to Mughal strategy, even more armies have been added to the already packed border between Siam and the Mughals.3

Paying for a trade route, and accepting an alliance, Zululand, Zimbabwe, and Zanji have become Xhosa vassals.

The Bantu begin a slow recovery, and have brung Dahomey into the "African Economic Pact".

Assyria's economy continues to rise, rivaling Yalta in some fields.

Monarch of the West = Isabella Leon

Capital of the East = Sidon
Second City of the East = Alyxandira
Capital of the West = Grenada
Second City of the West = Karthenon

Family Tree of Pheonicia

High King Hiram & High Queen Carlotta = Ribb-Addi jnr - Isabella
High & East King Ribb-Addi jnr & Lady Lysia = Kalane
West Queen Isabella & West King Ferdinand = Phillip - Katherine

Lady Arai & Lord Ribb-Addi snr = Arasi - Ku-Ren

Classical Age UU =
Preatorian Guard
The Preatorian Guard, founded around the principles of tactical warfare pioneered in the Pheonician vassal state of Greece, is a versatile unit armed with long Iron swords, a short throwing spear, and a small compact bow.
They are clad in iron chain mail armour, and a medium sized square iron shield; and in numbers with their fine array of weapons makes them quite a fearsome sight.
The Preatorian Guard are a highly versatile unit good in both defense and offense and well trained at working with other elements of the army to launch multi pronged attacks, and multi fronted defenses. However their heavy armour and weapons makes them very slow; and therefore suited to more frontal and and direct battles rather than ones of attrition and harrassment that horsemen or the Numidian Mercenaries could conduct.
Practical Game effect = High offense and Defense; slow movement and high cost.

Diplomacy=
From: The Eastern Kingdom
To: The Golden Horde

Your unprovoked invasion of Yalta is as astonishing as it is brutal; we will not stand for it.
The Eastern Kingdom has ordered its troops to march in the defense of Yalta; and hopefully the West shall do the same.
Yalta makes a nice barrier between the Kingdom and the only aggressive Mongol state near to the Kingdoms.
We intend to keep it that way.

To: The Free State of Yalta

Although the Kingdom has been less than enamoured with your recent attempts to challenge Pheonician trade interests and naval superiority, we realise that the Golden Horde presents a greater threat to our security that the Free State.
Our troops have been ordered to war.

To: Mughal Empire

Cease your bellyaching fool.
You were defeated because of your short sightedness; you followed the Omanese warmongering like a whipped puppy, rather than following your own heart and mind.
Siam followed itself first and foremost and was spared a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Twin Kingdoms.
If you should demand revenge of anyone, demand it of Oman.

From: The Western Kingdom
To: Mughal Empire

We echo our brothers opinion; Keep your threats to yourself for Pheonicia will be watching.

To: Eithiopia

We are sending you one economy level in aid friends. Use it wisely.

To: Uzbek Dictatorship

Any attempt to threaten the security of the Kingdoms will result in the swiftest and most deadly of retribution.
Take this as a friendly warning that we are watching you.
 
YALTA

Betrayal. A Yalta trade partner had declared war, and seized land vital to the state. While most food production was shifted to New Sevastopol' in South Amerika, the damage to the economy was still there.

To: Eastern Kingdom of Phoenicia
From: Free State of Yalta and the Eastern Black Sea

We thank you for your support; it is always nice to find allies in times of war. We also apologize for any transgressions Yalta has made against Phoenicia; remember that Yalta has only acted out of survival. Shall an alliance be signed between our two nations?

Viceroy Domenti Kaikhosro Mukhran Batonisdze of Yalta


To: Golden Horde
From: Free State of Yalta and the Eastern Black Sea

Your warmongering will be punished by the gods, we are sure of that. You have invaded a peaceful nation; this attack is unwarranted and foolish on your part. The free nations of Asia and Europe will not stand for it, of this we are certain.

Viceroy Domenti Kaikhosro Mukhran Batonisdze of Yalta

Orders:
Later, have to go to school.
 
"HA! That'll teach the Poles to send their spies on secret espionage missions on FNA's soil!" thundered Åkerstö Eriksdottir, foreign minister of FNA, half amuzed and half annoyed. Altough the Polish had got what they deserved, she was still not quite happy with the fact that enemy spies had gotten in so easily. But, it was not her problem, she was just the foreign minister.
"Mylady, there are some things that have been going on on the world that you might want to know!", said her advisor who had suddenly rushed in.
"What is that?" Åkerströ asked.
"Our ally, the Golden Horde, has declared a war against Yalta - I'm not sure why, apparently they thought that Yalta would provide assistance to the Evil Poles."


DIPLOMACY
From FNA
To Golden Horde:
*SECRET*
We remind you, dear allies, that it is Poland who provoked this war and it is Poland who we are (or at least should be) after. As long as Yalta doesn't support Poland, maybe we should leave them alone...? If you want to gain territories, there are plenty to take in Poland. We suggest you return to pre-war borders with Yalta and go against the TRUE evil, which is Poland.
*SECRET*

To (East) Phoenicia:
Altough we don't very happily support Golden Horde's invasion of Yalta, we are still their allies - and Rossiya, France, Netherlands, England and Michquelask also belong to this alliance. Remember that before making hasty decisions.


ORDERS:
Hmmm... I need to do a little more diplo before sending them.
 
Additional Diplomacy=
From: King Ribb-Addi of East Pheonicia
To: FNA

What you are doing to the Ethnic Inuits is quite frankly disgusting; however what you do in your own lands is your own affair.
We have been attempting to round up and expel the Christians from our nations; and true to their wishes they refused and fought us and regretably we were forced to resort to violent measures in dealing with them.
The Christian peoples are subversives who want only to murder all non Christians and destroy non-Christian nations; as proven by what the Christian nation of Poland is doing to the Wiccan and Baalian peoples living in the nation.
That is likewise our affair and nothing to do with you.

We have declared war on the Golden Horde and no one else; but speaking in my capacity as King of the East, I can promise you Pheonicia is quite ready to fight you also.
 
what trade ciould they have cut off??? the only routes i have are direct-land w/ Yalta and w/ Finland. unless this is just for a story thing for the update, please explain.
EDIT: and even if this is just a story thing, ALL stories have to be justified SOMEHOW. they have to make sense. i never had any baltic trade routes. what would any of my trading ships be doing in the baltic? what trade would be blocked if it never existed? losing 1 economy cuz of this is a bit more understandable, although i still think it still doesnt have that much sense and basis, but TWO? no way.
 
To: Mughals
From: Siam

We will give you mainland India as you asked, but that is it.
 
Poland was in trouble. The greedy FNA seemed to gather a coalition of France, Netherlands, England, Yossiya, and Golden Horde to attack the Imperium. France betrayed its DPP by taking part in the multi-invasion. The rebellions weren't helping either. The army had to be spread out too thin. Emperor John III had to resort to desperate measures: allow religious freedom, hopefully ending the rebellions.
The Jagiellonian Guards were slightly successful in holding back advances but they needed upgrades. They would be changed.
New UU:
(the Jagiellonian Guards are upgraded from Iron Age into this Classical UU) Neo-Imperial Guards. Classical Age. Extremely high defense and weaponry with good training in arms. Can push back invasions but cannot go across the (pre-war) border.

DIPLO
From Poland

To Rossiya and Golden Horde:
We extended olive branches of friendship, and you attack us? We warn you: if we DO go down, we will go down fighting hard against you!!!

To France:
We had a DPP and you dishonored it by not aiding us and, on top of that, INVADING us??? We will not take this laying down.

To all nations invading me:
IF WE GO DOWN, WE WILL GO DOWN FIGHTING! IF WE SURVIVE, WE WILL HAVE OUR REVENGE!!!

To FNA:
We provoked this war? By seeking the truth? For wanting to know whether our suspicion was true or if you were indeed innocent and humanitarian? That is a poor excuse, in our eyes, for attacking us, and using your lackeys to make the blow even deadlier. Nevertheless, we are willing to give you the land you have captured in Suzdal if you and your allies cease the attack, that means even France and Netherlands.

To Finland:
(SECRET) Would you send 500 men to help us?(SECRET)

To Greece:
You are part of the Grand Eastern European Alliance. Please aid us, or at least aid Yalta.

Military Orders Pmd
 
From FNA
To Poland:
We have done several mistakes. First one was when we didn't act when you attacked and annexed our ally (and yours too, I believe), Germany. Then we didn't act when you first started threatning us because of our eugenics - in a matter of fact we tried to find a diplomatic solution. But what did that lead to? You violated our sovereignity, you send spies illegally and without our permission to our state facilities - and then you spread evil lies about us. That is enough. You have proven yourself to be the Evil Force of Europe several times. We cannot let you remain a superpower which you would still be even if you lost Suzdal. Therefore, peace is not negotiable right now.
 
OOC: Azale, are my front-page stats ever going to update? I have ordered and upgrade to Classical Age for 2 or 3 turns, and I"m still in the Iron Age army. I"ve ordered grow army, and it hasn't grown. What's up?

To Poland:
Then you will go down fighting hard. But you WILL go down. Quite frankly, we have despised you since we heard about your nation its ruthless annexation of Germany. And I can assure you that the average ethnic Russian has no love for the average ethnic Pole. I will see you either in Warsaw, or in hell, O Great King of the Poles.

To Phoenicia (East and West):
Hail, friends. I come today as an ambassador of peace and friendship between our two nations. While we are not much alike (a developing East European state and a huge Mediterannean empire) there is no reason for us to feel antipathy towards one another. We have looked with concern upon your threats of violence against our friend the FNA. We can certainly understand if you were to take action in defense of Yalta (I am neutral in that war) but you have few historic ties to Poland, so I do not see it as a concern of yours. And besides, is Poland not a direct challenge to your greatness? While your great merchant ships and Men O' War plie the Mediterannean, their ships sail the Baltic, just waiting for southern ports with which they can break your rightful hold over Med Sea shipping. We do you a favor by eliminating this threat, no? Therefore, I offer a pact of friendship (not a NAP, really just a treaty with no binding obligations of anything that says our nations are friendly.) We can of course understand if the current situation in Europe prevents you from signing this pact, but feel that its signing would go far to improve the relations between our fair nations.

To Yalta:
Rossiya greets our brothers to the south. While we are of Muscvoite and White Russian descent and you are descended from Crimean Tartars, we are still cousins by heritage. We extend to you a pact of friendship, in the hopes that relations between our states may stay equitable and open. We are delcaring neutrality in the conflict with the Golden Horde, because the Golden Horde is our allie and we not think about waging war against it. However, we will not support it in un-called-for acts of sheer agression. Consider this moral, if not military, support for the Yaltan nation and the Yaltan people.

Orders:
Continue invasion of Poland.
Declare neutrality in the Golden Horde-Yalta conflict.
Grow army.
Upgrade army to Classical Age (yet again :rolleyes: )
 
Pheonicia Maintains a working advisory body called the Consulate in each of its Vassal states; these Consulates act as embassies and advisory bodies to the local Governments.
They also the office through which Pheonicia is able to maintain a degree of control over our Vassals armed forces, and keep a close watch on the Governments of the Vassal states if they decide to be rebellious.
Recently however the Consulates in Eithiopia, Greece, and Assyria were all destroyed over night. None of the Vassals have been able to offer any explanation to the destruction and no witnesses seem to have materialised.
Envoys to the Vassal States came back with a unanimous answer - "Unable to explain destruction of Consulate Offices. Have ordered immediate investigation. Our soveriegn Kingdoms will please refrain from rebuilding pending end of investigation."

Orders of the Kingdoms=
-Upgrade Army to Classical Age
-Upgrade Navy to Classical Age
-Send Aid to Eithiopia (-1 econ level from the West)
-PMed Military orders

This is simply repeated mistakes by me, they will be fixed right now.
 
grandmaster. since when am i a superpower??? if i was a superpower, then i should have been able to defeat Norway when i had the war with them. im flattered by your opinion of me as a superpower but... WHAT???
 
From Poland
To Rossiya:
OK. Keep on invading us, but making statements such as this:
And I can assure you that the average ethnic Russian has no love for the average ethnic Pole
has only deepened our lust for revenge on Rossiya, FNA, and all the others who have invaded us. This statement was totally uncalled for and you will be sorry.

To FNA:
You have proven yourself to be the Evil Force of Europe several times
Though now that we look back on it, our annexation of our ally Germany was immoral and unjustifiable. But our criticism of your racist Eugenics WAS and IS moral and justifiable.
Also, we are sure that you call us "the Evil Force of Europe" because we actually had the guts to stand up to you and not give in to your bullying.

To the nations of Europe (expecially the ones invading me):
If the Polish Imperium dies, it will die fighting the FNA and its lackeys. But know this: the NATION OF POLAND AND THE HERITAGE, CULTURE, TRADITION, AND COURAGE OF ITS PEOPLE WILL NEVER DIE - NO MATTER WHAT TACTICS THE FNA AND THEIR ALLIES MAY USE TO TRY! If we die, we also wish to leave you all a warning: If the FNA and her allies win this war, then the FNA will only get even more greedy and will grow even more confident and power. They will no doubt use this growing power and greed to intimidate you and subjugate you.
If the Polish Imperium dies, then we will at least have the satisfaction and pride in knowing that we had the courage to stand up to FNA's bullying.
This is not a direct plea for assistance or help, because chances are no one will even attempt to come to our aid, but know this: if we fall to the FNA and her lackeys, then who is next? Who is next on the lunch menu? Please stand up to them before they grow too bloated with power and get even more land-hungry and are unstoppable in their feeding spree.
 
Dunno. When I was playing as California, I kinda kept a casual eye on Europe, and it seemed to me that Poland was the pre-eminent power in continental Europe (after the defeat of Germany, Poland was unmatched in west, central, or east Europe.) You did by far have the largest European empire. And it is taking a four-nation coalition to wage an effective war against you. ;) I could be wrong... it wouldn't be the first time.
