Events

The kingdom of Brisbane begins to open up to expansion and conquers nearby tribes. An expedition out to sea has resulted in the dissapearence of several galleys, never to be seen again. -250 Spearmen, 15 Galleys

The “West British Peoples”, known to themselves as the Welsh, do not take well to the Brittanian nation. As the British try to start friendly relations, they are attacked from the south. Not tolerating a secret attack like that, the British launch an invasion of Wales. The first of the problems was the mountaneous areas. After this, they had to keep supply routes – something that was done for the first time in world history. Fortunately, they defeated the Welsh rather easily, gaining more villages and the such (+economy). -250 Spearmen, 250 Archers

The Tripolyanes begin to expand into the fertile land in the south, where many villages have been encouraged to be built, and along with them the farmland that supports them (+ economy). Also, in the north east contact with Moskovia has been established, and small trading missions take place between the two countries. Moreover, an epidemic that was sweeping the people has been silenced, most believe by the divine Black God. In other news, the Snow Chariot has been invented, being mostly of horses pulling chariots, but in winter time they wheels can be folded up and sleighs replace them.

Norman expansion into the Brittany peninsula results in deaths to the army, which in turn brings despair back at home. -50 Spearmen, 50 Archers

Satari begins rapid expansion as the economy is fueled with huge trade revenues from Bactria (+ economy).

Japanese galleys make some good discoveries in the west…small islands are quickly taken over for the Japanese empire. Meanwhile, Kyushu is invaded, and the Korean settlers are immediately evacuated as an army assembles. -300 Spearmen

Sicilians expand into Italy with ease, but when they come to Africa, the indigenous people quickly force them out. -200 Spearmen

The Iberians are destroyed and slowly assimilated as the Sphardians take advantage of their powerful army. Afterwards, they begin to explore the coastlines and the sea, but have not ventured far out enough. -200 Spearmen

The Calicut people adopt the Sinhalese alphabet and soon put it to use by setting up new legal systems and creating the first courts. The people are ecstatic about the new courts, and confidence is greatly increased.

New military reforms take place in Illyria, giving soldiers the option of getting paid and establishing a fast-response small force for the Kingdom. Also, expansion into Italy has resulted in a fight with the Etruscan people, who have succeeded in holding off the Illyrian expansion. -200 Spearmen, 100 archers

Notes from the Mod

Remember, wonders take money to advance.

I was too tired and too sick to work hard on this update. They should tend to be getting longer as the updates increase.

Also, I may not be able to update tomorrow, as I will get home from work at 11:30 PM.
 
That came fast. Alright, orders for the next turn

Novgorod Orders:
Begin expantion south west with 2/3 of the army. Build trading posts, but do not attack the people. Begin trading with them and establishing good relations.
Keep the trade we have with the Finns, and start building a few trading posts there.
If we get far enough along the coast (where Talin is in real life) begin construcion of a magor trading post there.
Put 3 economies into the Morskoy Gorod wonder.

To: Austria
From: Ilyria

Greetings! We are of the nation of Illyria, and greet you with open arms; we wish to cement good fortunes between our nation by agreeing to a border treaty between us.
 
To: Illyria
From: Austria

We can agree a treaty of sorts. For some odd reason, we have the feeling you want this strange land of Italy we have been hearing rumors about ;) You can have that, as long as we can expand down the Danube until its end.
 
To: Austria
From: Illyria


Ilyyria has soem want of estbalishing a danube border, because it can be easilly fortified; obviouslly, such a thing dosent make any differen in regard to austria, because you are on our side of the danube anyway, but rather as a "just in case" style fo fortifacation along the river; that said, Illyria dosent want much, just an extension fo its current territory up tot he Danube, and even then, only on the directlly Illyrian side of the river; the rest of the river if yours for the taking, as far as Illyria woudl be concerned in it; we hope you coudl accept this sort of boundary;

At first it appeared unfair...but we have much more land to expand elsewhere. We can agree to this proposal.

The Kingdom of Britannia

Very soon after the invasion of was ended it became clear that the people of Wales could not and would not be easily assimilated by the Kingdom of Britannia, even the peasantry was fanatically uncooperative towards their new British rulers, luckily no such thing as a uprisings happened as yet but it seemed only a matter of time.

After many days of discussion with the lords and councilors of the realm Queen Britannia eliminated all but 3 possibilities:
1. Plunder all there is and Abandon those Rich Lands, hoping that the plunder strengthens the Britons and weakens the Welsh enough to pose no future threat to the Britons
2. Force Assimilate the Welsh and Destroy massacre all Uprisings
3. Allow greater freedoms to the Welsh People and appoint a local as Vassal

The first option offered an immediate profit but created a long terms problems, the welsh people would exact vengeance at one point or the other and would be much more difficult to eventually assimilate in the future.

The second option creates short terms problems with long term profit, once assimilated the people and lands of Wales would become part of the realm, but with the Northern Tribes lurking near the borders and no official relations established the Britons could not afford to tie down troops to put down rebellions.

The third option offered many short and long terms benefits but also many dangers, Appointing a local vassal meant giving a huge power to a local, this required much trust on both parties, however a local could effectively rule Wales and provide much needed taxes to the Kingdom of Britannia, a local could also raise armies of those Welsh Archers, whose amazing skills in Archery caused great losses amongst the British ranks.

After many more days Queen Britannia decided on the course of action, the Principality of Wales was to created and a local would be appointed, with this Wales will receive a great amount of autonomy, in exchange of their allegiance to the Kingdom of Britannia.

The Logical Candidate was Cadwallon Lawhir (Cadwallon Long Hand), grandson of Cunedda Wledig (Cunedda the Imperator) the great chieftain who had united wales and made it in what it was when Einion Yrth (Einion the Impetuous, son of Cunedda and Father to Cadwallon) launched its reckless attacks against the Britons that triggered the British invasion of Wales. Much like his Grandfather and much unlike his Father, Cadwallon is a calm and calculating fellow, intelligent and well learned in the art of warfare, while his calculating nature makes it difficult to fully trust him his intelligence makes it unlikely he breaks his oaths to the Kingdom unless facing overwhelming odds; that and the fact that he is the rightful heir to the line of rulers of Wales makes him the right man for the job.

The Town Crier
“HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
By decree of her royal majesty Queen Britannia III the Principality of Wales is created.
All men who live in the lands of Wales are to swear fealty to both their new ruler,
Prince Cadwallon Lawhir, and Queen Britannia III.
Long Live Prince Cadwallon and Queen Brittania III!
Long Live the Kingdom!”​

A cold win came from the mountains north of the city, the farmers all over the area preffered to stay in when the weather was like this, but there was one man who didnt stay in at this moment.

King Harald looked out over the great city of Oslo, the capitol of the tribe that would unite all the other Viking tribes, he had given them the chanse to join peacefully, now it was time for the action to begin.

Orders:
1 Economy on 500 Spearmen
2 Economy on 1000 Archers

Load 100 Archers and 100 Spearmen on Galleys, this troops will invade the tribes on Sjæland. They will first land and offer them to join Vikingland Peacefully, if they reject they will be killed until they surrender, the tactic will be archers moveing behind Spearsmen and fireing, when they attack create a shield fortress and fire with archers.

Attack the diffrent Viking Tribes one and one with 1000 Archers and 800 Spearmen, once again we will use the same tactic as over but we will also attack on the rears with Archers to trap their forces in a 3 side fire.

Wonder: Academy of Berserks. Academy made to train the Viking soldiers of tomorrow, this is the first real conscript and training center for the Viking Soldiers
 
OOC: Lost a long post. Anyhow...

Jason, this is great already! I have very high hopes for this one...

Story:

"And did Bakoslav send a messanger with offers of peace and prosperity to the Moskovians, with bread and salt and with the message: "We are brethren. Let us all live in peace and prosperity, let us establish good relations and let us never go to war against one another.""
- Slovo o Bakoslave.

The smoke was white. Unnaturally white. It consumed the body of the petty thief, of the young deer, of the cowardly minister, of the little child born cursed. The smoke was high in the sky.

It pointed southwards.

The ladog'i, somewhat long, small yet strong boats made of good oak which was plentiful in Tripolye, sailed up the Dnieper. One by one, they, and the settlers from Poljansk that were on them along with some goods (not much, as most of what they need could be found at their destination) were sailing to new lands, to the south, where the Belobog, the White God, told them to move into. Indeed, that land was only sparsely-populated by the odd-speaking Cimmarians, who moved from these lands when they saw how many Tripoleans sailed there.

The ladog'i sailed on. Another village built; another mile gained. Tripolye was on the move south.

Diplo:

(long and beautifully-styled diplo lost)
From: Tripolye
To: Moskovia

[Insert greeting here, some annoying questions that nobody cares about, and an explanation why Tripoleans and Moskovians are brethren]

...so, my Moskovian brethren, we suggest a pact of no agression, and hope for peace and prosperity between us.

Мир вашему дому.

Orders (Tripolye):
- Begin Wonder - Velikiy Khram (a very large oak wood building, dedicated to Both Gods, with an inner yard in which there are the sacrificial pyres. Within it itself there are several altars, and crude depictions of mythical and historical scenes, and of common life - so essentially it will also be useful for future archeologists :) . It is here that the Slavic Dualist, or Dvubozhist, religious service takes place and it is to be the main Dvubozhist religious center). Invest one economy level into it.
- Grow education (early alphabet, historomythology at the Dvubozhist temples, theology, etc).
- Continue southward expansion along the river. Farm the land, encourage the local tribal elders to elect vozhdi [chieftains] from amongst themselves, who will be directly responsible to the Knyaz: this will be done for the sake of better organization and local management, and thus, more efficient control over the territory.
- 100 spearmen, 100 archers are to stay at home and watch Gelion in case he tries to pull something doubleplusungood.
- The rest of the army are to move south-west. Ahead of them, a messanger on a good horse will ride to meet the Gothic chieftains, and suggest that they acknowledge the Knyaz to be their superior and essentially join Tripolye. Suggest it politely. If they agree, ride to the next ones while our army moves in and makes sure they don't do anything funny. If they don't agree, the messanger will quickly ride back before they can eat him and tell the Knyaz about what nasty people those Goths are. Then:
- That army of our will attack those Goths that resist. The spearmen and the archers will march towards their campsite and repeat the suggestion to surrender to us. If they Goths still refuse, summon them to a battle (don't mention anything about it being a honest one, though). As our infantry fights whatever they have, our horsemen will attack their settlement while our chariots will attack their flanks. After we crush them, move on further into their territory. Show no mercy where we are resisted - slaughter all men, enslave all women and children, make sure there is nobody left to "grow up and avenge himself and his family" back there. Distribute all their possessions amongst my warriors. Where we are not resisted, treat the Goths as equals and, to quote Xen, "throw a kegger" to improve relations. But remember that at least some of our men should be on the watch out for treachery, in case they want to attack us while we are drunk/in the state of hangover.
- You should get the general idea. Conquer as many Goths as we could, either the good way, or the bad way.
