stJNES10: Expand and Conquer

I find PMing my plans prefferbale; its not that I care if people know what I plan to do, but rather, if know how I plan to do it ;)
 
King Vijaya stared out over the field of battle. It had been some years since the campgains to conquer the Island had been launched. At first Vijaya had been content to stay in his palace in the captial. But soon corrupt generals and incompetents had lost battles to barabrian scum! The King took personal command and rallied the army to fight and raised its moral. He had replused the invasion of Sinhala proper allowed by grave incompentence by his advisors. This was the first step to ensuring the safety of the Sinhalese people!

It was a quiet morning with a dew still on the grass. Vijaya stood on a hilltop. In front of him, drawn up into ranks stood the Sinhalese army. In front in a loose formation stood the archers, behind them was the ranks of Spearmen who were the backbone of the army. The battle began as the last tribes who resisted Vijaya 's rule emerged out of the forest. They were armed with whatever they could find and were fighting for their lifes. There was no more places to run to. The Sinhalese army had marched forward and was now about to push the tribes into the sea. On Vijaya's command the archers loosed a mass volley into the ranks of the enemy. On the wave of a flag the spearmen charged. No pretty flanking movements in this battle. It was forward and kill. The spearmen hacked through the tribes and took no prisoners. After an hour it was over. The tribes crushed and Sinhala secure and ready to expand. And with that Vijaya decreed that education and the navy were now the most important.

Orders
Spend one economy on building a meeting place in the captial for wisemen to gather and debate and invent stuff.

The army is to help clear rainforest and convert it into arable farms, offer 1/2 newly claimed land to people who will committ to farm it for atleast twenty years, the other half will be Royal land rented to farmers

Have courtiers and wisemen attempt to formulate an apahbet to make recording land transactions and business deals easier

The navy is to take men and some spearmen and establish forts up and down the Indian coastline nearest our Island

Send several ships north up the eastern and western coastlines of India and attempt to establish realtions with local peoples and trade if possible.

Begin wonder: Port of Anuradhapura, this port city located on the coast roughly twenty miles from the captial will have breakwaters, wharfs for ships, markets right on the shore to conduct trade and several berths for galleys of the Royal Navy. It will facilite trade and allow Sinhalese merchants a secure base for trade( Increase Economy +2, Increase Navy x2, more trade will flow throught it hopefully)

Events

Novgorod sits amidst many different tribes, most of the Finnish, though there are a number of substantial tribes that are from the same stock as the Novgorodians are. Nevertheless, the Novgorodians have decided to expand trade and relations rather then by military force, and many of its neighbors begin to feel the influence and economic power of Novgorod, as they share the wealth in trade. (+ economy)

The Bavarians begin to wreak havoc on outlying Austrian villages, pillaging and taking whatever they want from the peaceful, yet unguarded, homesteaders. Immediately, the Austrians respond with a massive campaign to rid the Bavarians from Austrian land, and many bloody battles are fought before the Bavarians retreat northward. -200 Spearmen, 100 Archers

Even more exploration continues, this time in the eastern hemisphere, as brave captains take their rowing crews to the uncharted seas around Java, and find that the water is polluted with uninhabited, and very rich, small islands along with the inhabited giant islands, with bountiful resources (+ education). Meanwhile, harvests go well as the king orders for more farms to be planted in the volcanic ground.

As Norman expansion continues and grows, Gaul anger directly relates. Small skirmishes result, as some Gaulic tribes are forced off of their native lands by expanding settlers. More and more Gauls begin to hate the growing power of Normandy, and an alliance is signed between twenty three tribes to begin building power in order to counter that of Normandy. And thus, the Union of Gaul is born.

Expansion of the Satari Empire means the meeting with the people to the west, known only as the Bactrians. Relations remain smooth between these two peoples, as common goals are established, and bits of trade begin to show up. However, many of the upper class among Satari society knows that if Satari ever wishes to become a true power, the Bactrians must be eliminated. They can only hope that the Bactrians do not think the same.

Japanese culture soars as temples are constructed all around the Empire, leading to more “centers of culture” to be established, which in turn increases population and jobs. Thus, urbanization takes a step up in the remote Japanese empire. Meanwhile, the Ainu, seemingly barbaric peoples descendent of the Japanese are found in the north, while people of different stock, possibly from the sea (speculate many Japanese) are in the south.

A massive push eastward by settlers searching for the coastline has brought war upon the people of Sphardia and the indigenous Iberians who were there first. While separated, the Iberians are still a divided force to be reckoned with, and a series of skirmishes have resulted in the deaths of some Sphardians. However, they have reached the Mediteranean, and the exploration it brings helps fuel the mind (+ education). -400 Spearmen

As the Sinhalese continue to expand their economy, many rainforests are cut down to make way for farmers. However, to their dismay, farmers quickly realize that farming in the tropical soil is quite inefficient, and many move back to the coastlines, where soil is more fertile. However, there does arrive an urban population towards the center of the island. Meanwhile, the first alphabet in the world is conjured on the island, leading to better organization and efficiency (+education).

The nation of Sicily is born out of a bunch of rogue fishermen who band together to increase profits while guarding themselves from barbarians and pirates. Immediately, the island is taken over and expansion leads to the mainland of Italy, where a ring of forts protects a large agriculturally based society.

Ligurian exploration tops even that of in Java. Brave men travel as far as Sicily, where contact is made with the inhabitants of that island. Meanwhile, extensive settlement takes place on Corsica, and a new people, the Carthaginians, are met on the island south, named Sardinia. Meanwhile, trade with the Gaul to the north has helped stimulate marketplaces in Genoa, and has led to economic ecstasy (+ economy). However, expansion northward is halted as high mountains make it difficult to conquer and/or settle.

The Phoenic Alphabet is developed in Nicaea, and quickly spreads to the peoples surrounding it. This has led to a better organization and economic society (+education).

Wars are fought as the Clan of Destruction continues expand and subjugate other peoples. Slaves become very common in villages of the Clan, and have boosted the ability to produce abundant agriculture (+economy). However, the war does take its toll on the military, killing a plethora of good men. -300 spearmen

A third alphabet is created in Illryia (+ education). Also in Illryia, expansion crosses the Adriatic as new fishing towns and farming villages pop up.

Notes from the Mod

I will try and write about different countries in the updates as much as I can, but if something really interesting happens with a country I just did, I will write about it, and if nothing interesting happens with your country, I will not write about it.

High scale trade (and trade rules) do not come until Iron Age.

If you notice a bonus in the write ups for your nation, for example (+economy) when you didn’t order it, or if it is ontop of one already ordered, it is a random event.

Xen: don’t get ahead of yourself in technology here.
