Tenth page! Yeah, when's the update?
Gladinia
Well, who else
@das:No way! Fifth page! (You know, we could argue about this all day...)
STORY:
*An account of the happenings the first morning of spring, the year 46 A.L. By the writer Tharlion, son of Greadd, son of Thalionn, nephew of Krealin son of Dearl, youngest son of the first Protector Derrally, translated for the benefitof all english readers.*
"What!?!" The Protector looked disbelievingly at the messenger. "Did you just say iron?" "Yes Protector, and a big lot of it at that. "With that iron, we could... I must think. Boy, you and the ones that found the iron-" "It was me, Protector." "What?" "It was me Protector. I found the iron." "What??? And you're...what.. 14?15?" "Well boy, this calls for promotion. And, of course you'll need mumble, grumble..." The Protector rang a bell. After a few seconds a man came in. "Take this boy with you. He'll need a hot bath, a few clothes, a room, you know. "Very well, Protector. The room by the kitchen?" "NO! NO, OF COURSE NOT, MAN! This was the boy who found iron. Give him the rooms next to mine." After that day, the Protector and the boy had many long conversations. The boy had heaps of ideas. One of them was to ask the Illakians to bring them some of the lake algae for them to test. Another was to check the earth for bugs, animals or other life forms that could be useful, or look at land plants to check for abilities, for exsample a plant that grew around the place where he had lived had fibres that made it very good for rope-making. They could do a lot of things with the kind of tough rope it made. And so on. the boy just had HEAPS of ideas. Soon a ceremony would proceed to make this boy the inheritor of the Protectors place, but that is not today.
Orders:
Keep building The Home. (Why didn't it get put on the first page?)
Check the algae in the lake for any abilities, and the earth for life forms, and look closer at all the animals that might be fit for something, and check out plants.
Begin building a mine on the iron.
Sorry, edit the orders:
Increase education, and expand towards the river and directly the other way.

The lives of the people of the Star Legionarries cintinued to improve steadily. Recently roads connected the main cities of the nation together strengthening trade routes and opening up better communications. This strengthened and pulled the nation together giving a sense of unity and even some nationalism. The irrigation systems along the poor farms greatly improved their load. Some farms prodused 3 times their amount before. The amount of food arriving across the country was growing daily.
Explorers mapped the region surrounding Star Legionarries. To the north were inhospitable mountains, nothing that was too enjoyable. However, the South was rich is land and resources and would be perfect for the continualy growing agriculture. Matthew Erenzburg ordered that the military secure the area for settlers and farmers move into the area and claim it as their own. The explorers also discovered a new people to the west. They would be left alone for now, the Star Legionarries remained a little isolationist.
The Sattalite that fell from the sky was immediatly picked up by military personal. Matthew ordered that it be sent to The Collection in Alpha Base. He wanted the top scientists and scholers of the Star Legionaries to figure out how this machine worked and see if it's technologies could be duplicated and be used for the benefit of the people of the Star Legionaries.
Matthew Erenzburg, the leader of the Star Legionarries, was growing older. He was now 35, reaching the the Life Expectancy of 43. He needed an heir, and quickly. He didn't trust his advisors much and thought that a power vaccum after his death might lead to civil war. That could not be allowed. Matthew fancied the 23 year old daughter of the rich plantation owner of a Mr. Jack Freia. He held the largest plantation of suger like and a corn like plant in the entire country. His plantation could feed a small community of a few hundread all by itself. The Ms. Helen Freia was well studied and not a bad looker either(
). It was settled only a few months after courtship, she would become Mrs. Helen Erenzburg. It was decided so quickly because of the strong love, but mostly because the nation required the knowladge of their leader's decision on the issue. An heir would soon be born, just 9 more months.
ORDERS:
Finish "The Collection"
Continue to try and domesticate animals
Use our own supplies of the organic gunpowder to create our own weapons.
Increase army +1
Begin a full expansion south of Alpha Base. Use 2/3 of our army and pay farmers in congested areas to move there.
Send the Sattalite to 'The Collection" and have our top scientists try and find out and recreate it's technologies.
Have Matthew Erenzburg marry Ms. Helen Freia, daughter of rich plantation owner Mr. Jack Freia

Update's tonight [if I have the time] or tomorrow.
@Gladinia: I'm assuming it's some sort of Great Project, but until I have specifications of what it does, I won't post it up. I never recieved a PM from you, so if you'd please send one. Oh, but don't worry, you'll have 2 turns of it done once I get the data on it.

Individual Nation News:
Reconstruction sweeps across the planet
Many more nations among them the Star Legionaries and the Greylords Land have gone from mere survival to the beginning of reconstruction of human civilization. Gunpowder quickly spreads to nations as lone travelers go from country to country. One such traveler, apparently from the far west of the Southern Archipelago, lands in Arashia and tells of many lands to the west. He died a month after arriving in Arashia.
War erupts as Arashia sends its armies to suppress the rebels
Despite excellent relations, Samuel Rogers orders the young General Linda Maryl to lead a militia army to defeat the rebels. This is considered suicide by most everyone First Island Empire is aiding the rebels, and they have GUNS and CANNONS, for gods sake but Maryl follows orders and leads the militia army of over 450 into rebel territory.
There, she executes a flawless campaign. She attacks a FIE encampment in the dead of night, killing a number of soldiers and entire division of Sharpshooter Guards that had been brought in from First Island [thats 30 soldiers]. Many guns were stolen, and some sent back to Arashia for reproduction. The rest were placed in the hands of the best soldiers in the army. Linda Maryl, only 21 years old, was treated harshly by most all Arashia for being young and being a woman she has quite proven herself in this and numerous other conflicts.
With an army of barely-trained militia armed with inferior weapons and armor, General Maryl has led the Arashian military to victory in four major conflicts, two minor skirmishes, and about twenty ambushes. The First Island Empires military is FAR from crippled, but they are demoralized by defeats handed to them by such an inferior army
Details on Maryls attack strategies and some personal messages she has sent to First Island Empire are to be sent by PM.
Wedding in Alpha Base! Insect Cattle domesticated!
Festivities rose in the capital of the Star Legionary empires Matthew Erenzburg, Supreme Commander of the empire, married the young, attractive, intelligent [and rich] Helen Freia [Helen Erenzburg now, of course]. Within a year, two healthy children were born twin girls, both strong and quick learners [who shall be named by Warman]. However, one girl is clearly a superior leader over the other
Also, as with the Horseants that have become a staple amongst land travelers, the Star Legionaries have domesticated an herbivorous insect that is similar to cattle. They display mammalian tendencies in that they give milk to children, though these children are born from eggs attached to the mothers exterior shell. Their meat is tasty, though interestingly more like eating duck or goose than beef, as well. Males have poisonous horn on their heads which many have fashioned into daggers and knives for hand-to-hand combat. This is becoming less important as the gunpowder plant as its been called has spawned a new era for the Star Legionaries
The Protectors form first Underwater Specialist Corp
In a bold move for their technological era, the Protectors develop an underwater unit known as the Illakian Corps. These elite troops can survive in water for long periods of time due to a slimly, almost bacterial creature discovered on the lake shores. They can store oxygen in their bodies like sponges, though the reason for this is yet unknown, and can dissolve it to wherever there is pull. The giant bacterium have been named Illakuid.
Massive earthquake in the mysterious desert!
A huge earthquake [aphroditequake?] devastated much of the insland desert. Its intensity was such that people in the Greylords Land and Sovietika could feel its effects slightly. This quake created a gigantic new lake in the desert, fertilizing some of the land. However, a nation that had EXPANDED into that region was dealt a devastating blow its people there are completely disorganized now.
How the aphroditequake created this new lake is unknown, but it is suspected that it somehow raised an underground water reserve to the surface
Lewis closes in on Depression!
The nation of Lewis, with its incredible spending habits, has ignored its economy to the point where it is nearly collapsed. Any further reckless spending, even WITH the finished construction of the Temple of Lewis, will result in the bottom dropping out of the Lewisi economy.
Sovietika discovers tiny clusters of civilized peoples
To the far south, Sovietika discovers small clusters of bickering humans situated around low-tech city centers if they play their cards right, Sovietika could RULE all these cities
Greylords Land Grenade Land?
The Greylords Land has developed its first gunpowder weapon of real importance the grenade. With this, troops can bombard destruction down on their enemy and then invade with handheld weapons such as knives and swords
The Great Fallcrazy Empire
A small group of spies from First Island Empire make small trips into the great empire of fallcrazies to the west. They return with a map, half their men, and a primitive gattling gun. The map displays all cities of the Fallcrazy Empire, and the terrain though most of it is just hills and grasslands, so nothing major to note. The gattling gun is very disturbing, for if they have this, they must be farther ahead than anyone ever imagined. Just how many such weapons did the fallcrazies have ?
Langul Empire, losing?
The Langul Empire considering itself invincible for a great period of time until they invaded the next-door neighbor, Fiora. There, the troops of Langul met with well-trained soldiers devoted to defending their homes. After which, Fiora launched its OWN offensive into Langul territory.
World Events and News:
A spaceship more like a space shuttle, it seems crashes into Star Legionary territory. It bears an emblem of alien origin and whatever language is written on it appears to be more complex than the Japanese, Chinese, English, and Russian alphabets put together. Another shuttle lands two months later in the land of Helantia, and yet another in Sovietika a year later.
NPC Diplomacy:
To: First Island Empire

We have, but only in small, unorganized numbers we assume youve met them in more advanced forms?
To: Greylords Land

Greetings, our fellows. It is good to see that there are more than mere warmongers in this world
To: Helantia
From: Fiora
Please, help us defeat the Langul Empire! Our troops cannot hold up forever
To: Sovietika
From: Human City-States
Get away from our territory at once!
