Events
The Javanese, after fighting a few small battles on unmentioned and unnamed islands, have full forced the Malay to their home island, and have surrounded them. Raids of the island increase, fueling Javanese economic expansion and dominance (+ econ). All trade to the Malay from the west is redirected to a Javanese port, also helping Java gain some trading partners. Meanwhile, the Siamese construct a fleet in Bangkok large enough to rival the Javans for sea supremacy in Indonesia.
Japanese explorations continue, and more land is found to the south. One such island, named Taiwan, is close enough for a few settlements to spring up, and the Japanese soon gain control of the entire island. Though contact with the mainland is scarce, the island seems to be able to hold itself.
Anemiputa, a brilliant general who studied war in the Sinhalese Academy of War in Anuradhapura, leads a powerful army against the Bengals, bent on reuniting the small Sinhalese settlements that dot the land with the King in Anuradhapura. His expansion marks the age of Sinhalese expansion. Successfully subduing the Bengals, he then leads an army against the Malay in a land far away, gaining more for the king. A populist uprising was also distinguished in the Dravadia Province. He finally died in a shipwreck of the coast of Sinhala while escorting trade ships to the port. The Sinhalese people regard him as a hero, and many statues are erected of this man. (+econ, +culture).
Turkistarean merchants begin to realize that they are indeed in the crossroads between the east and the west. And so, building upon the fertile valleys near the Caspian, small villages soon rise as trading ports, where merchants can cross from Turkistar to the newly founded Kingdom of Caucasia. Meanwhile, the Emperor makes a call to arms for all able horsemen in the country. They show up by the thousands Afeii, ready to serve their Emperor and expand the borders of Turkistar. Also in Afeii, a series of royal marriages take place. First, two Turkistar princesses are wed to princes of Bactria and Nepal. And then a third marriage took place between the Prince of Bactria and the young Princess of Nepal. Together, these nations now make the Himalayan Alliance.
The Bay of Bengal sees a spurt of economic activity as trade floods the water. Along the Bengal Coast Route, which travels the coast from Sinhala to Burma, small villages are suddenly transformed into merchant hubs, prosperous trading bringing wealth to a new class of people. (+econ for Sinhala, Dravidia, and Bengal).
Illyria constructs the first majorily traveled road, connecting Salonae with Vienna. Meanwhile, the Illryian army lands in the small African village of Fia. However, now under the new administration (the village soon joins Illryria, afraid of a conquest), the city is named Cyrenica. The Illyrians soon establish a smaller town inland. Baku serves as a catalyst for trade in the region, spurting up a small ivory-metal trade.
The Calicutians and Sinhalese mobilize their forces for war, meeting up at Socotra to make a grand fleet. Meanwhile, another Calicutian fleet sails north and bottles up the Gujarati in the Persian Gulf. Three times the Gujarati attempt to outmaneuver or break through the blockade, but are forced back. This draws the attention from the northwest, where the fleet from Socotra arrives at and lands a large Calicutian force. Instead of marching directly south, as the Gujarati expect them, they move north, and through the Thar Desert. This may have been their first mistake, as many do not make it through the desert, despite the intention of bringing extra water. However, the planned pincer move works. The Gujarati chase the large force through the Rann of Kutch, a swampy desert that impedes fast movement. A second Calicut force lands south from the Gulf of Katchchh, while a Sinhalese army lands a bit west. The Calicutian army moves from the north, and the two other forces move from the south, to trap the Gujarats in the Rann of Kutch and force them surrender after three long battles.
Calicut: -150 Swordsmen, -100 Spearmen, -100 horsemen, - 25 Galleys
Sinhala: -200 Swordsmen, -5 Galleys
Gujarat: -30 Galleys, -800 Spearmen
The Normans and Sphardians fight one last battle at Grenoble, where the Gauls finally collapse, and their empire divided. But, as the Sphardians returned to their homeland, they realize that some other force had cut them off. The Normans, looking to deal an early blow to the Sphardians, and encircle the army deep in Norman territory without being prepared, and it soon surrendered. The Normans then continued their coastal invasion, until they were stopped by the powerful Sphardian forts and wall, designed to safeguard the homeland.
Sphardia: -600 Spearmen, -200 Archers
Normans: -300 Spearmen
A call to arms is sent to all Dacians to avenge those who were killed in the Trypole invasion, and for a counter invasion into the heart of Trypole itself. Sadly, very few came to wage more war, most were indeed trying to rebuild their tattered lives.
Meanwhile, the Myceneans ditch their efforts in Trypole, and instead sail straight for Nicaea. The tired soldiers are then forced to disembarked and trek nearly two hundred miles to the city of Nicaea, which on the way they encounter the large Nicaean army and are slaughtered due to the lack of supplies and the stamina of the forces. They are forced out of Anatolia, and the Nicaean fleet soon chases them back home.
Nicaea: -500 Spearmen
Mycenae: -700 Spearmen, 10 Galleys
The Trypoleans make a third call to arms, where more men come, but not as much as expected. With the small army, they still insist on a counterattack against the well-entrenched Moskovians. Attempted rebellions are quelled immediately as a large military force is present. Any attack that was attempted was quickly repelled. They Trypolean army is simply not large enough to make a dent in the fortification. Especially since they have to cross the Dneiper to get there.
Trypole: -100 Spearmen, -50 Archers
Moskovia: -50 Spearmen, -50 Archers

Notes from the Mod
Okay, you can no longer just make cities. They generally appear where the population soars or/and there is a need for them. If you wish to just build a city from plain ground, you will have to spend an economy on it for all the supplies and workers pay.
Great thanks to Xen for the help with Chinese civs.
Dexter, if you really want to play there, I will accommodate you. But I plead with you that you choose somewhere where I dont have to make five more NPCs for the sake of one player.
Kamilian: they were not upgraded to Iron Age. So I assumed you wanted this before increasing it.
