stJNES5.1: From the Beginning

Syracuse is in the wrong location, Jason. You made my capital Palermo...or Lilybaeum...

The red dot is the real location of Syracuse....sorry, was not on yesterday, did not catch.
 
wait

I'll have to think things over a bit; I didnt knwo the first update had come,a nd though more people were in the med sew 9confusing it with one fo the other NES's runnign about right now apperentlly)

dont do anything

(though for note, I find alliances useful, but the mob mentality that goes with them is obnoxious and annoying to me)
 
after reading the update, Minoa is kickass, and I'm staying with them
 
I will get orders in today, Jason, but I have an NES to update, and it's a bugger.
 
Orders soon. Sorry...

Much as I'd love interacting with Magadha in this NES, that is to say, hopefully not being beaten up, like another NES (;)), or running it, like another NES, I think Jason has a player limit, no?
 
Finnish UU: Finnish Swordsmen
These swordsmen are elite of finnish army. They all have been chosen very carefully, only strongest and bravest men could become swordsmen. Their weapons and armours are top quality, and they are very disciplined because of their good training. But providing this training and equipments is not cheap, and because of this, they are not widely used in the army.
 
Can I send orders yet? Or should I wait for myself to appear on the map?
 
I sent orders w/o map revision. I think Jason's still @ Costco, though. 4-hr. trip... ;)
 
Orders (persia):

-Take the younger child of each family who otherwise wouldn't inherit properties/don't have a job and offer them a place in the army. Train them into spearmen.
-Domesticate/Breed the native horses and develop more regiments of horsemen.
-Increase Education by building temples across the land. (Is Zoroastrianism too early? If it's not, build temples about that. If it is, build the temples based on the multiple gods that existed in the current polytheism.)
-Expand south into the coastline with 1000 spearman and 500 archers, once they reach the coastline, they will split into 2 (so each 500, 250) and head east and west. The group going west will stop and take care to avoid conflict with the nation there. The newly recruited spearmen will be used to build roads to newly explored areas, to increase the disclipine as well as giving them a taste of how an army works before throwing them into battle (why would they hate me when i'm letting them work away from front line? Are they that blood-thirsty? ;) ). Have the Horsemen patrol the northern borders to guard any Bactrian raids. The remaining 500 archers will guard the capital.
 
A grain of dust blew, tumbling over the hills and the plains. It was one of millions of pieces of dust, blowing, blowing, ever blowing... It blew and blew, clinging to the grassy carpet that coated the earth, occasionally sticking in a tree, or a pelt, but this was meaningless; the dust would blow on eventually, as it had always blown on.

Until one day.

Harsha blinked, a tear forming in his eye. “Gods be cursed,” he swore, as he blinked again. He dug a grimy finger into the eye and realized what he was doing only shortly thereafter, and withdrew it, cursing again.

He walked unsteadily over to the almost clear water channel that lazily flowed past his worksite, and briskly washed his right hand. He dug the grain of dust out, this time succeeding, and cast it into the irrigation ditch.

Blinking and annoyed, he walked back to the workplace.

It was rather quiet in this corner; he was somewhat isolated from the rest of the workmen by the mudbrick wall that had gone up. It was odd, he mused, that he was the only one on this side, when every other side of the building had a veritable dozen working on it. Gingerly, he mixed more mud and straw, pouring some into molds every so often.

By the time he was done, a practical road’s worth of mud bricks lay glistening wetly before him. He smiled slightly... His day’s work was done here.

Washing his muddy hands again, he told the administrator that he was done, and left at a brisk walk through the streets of his native Mohenjo-Daro.
