stJNES5.2: From the Beginning
Update 3, 2200 B.C.E.
Many nations begin to realize that iron is a much stronger and better metal then bronze. Along with the invention of iron come cultural and scientific changes that alter the way people live. The Iron, or Classical, Age is spreading, check your stats to see if you have it.
In the harsh winter storms of Eastern Europe, The Kingdom of Muscovy begins the construction of a Palace for its Tsars, replacing the old rickety wooden shack that once stood proud among the Moscow streets. In its place, a marble and stone structure, standing three stories high, cornered with high watch towers and an elaborate golden gate, is planned for construction. To pay for the magnificent structure, the Muscovites are sacking and looting many tribes that they conquer around themselves. In the south, however, the Scythians are in no mood to be conquered, and greatly challenge the rising Muscovite power. Also, economic harmony is in tune as agricultural crops are grown in the south, and the fertile land lends itself to be a very healthy treat for the Muscovites. (+ economy)
A plague wipes out many German tribes in Eastern Europe and sends most of the Germans fleeing the area and into the west. As better land and technology are acquired, the Germans have begun to create settlements. In the north, the Teutonic Order is established in a basketful of settlements. As the Franks (Germanic peoples who left the German tribes a while before) and the Germans meet, the nation of Burgundy is created by a championed warring tribe. And finally, a purely Germanic nation, Suevia rises in the fertile fields of Bavaria, where the realm stretches from the snow-capped peaks of the Alps to the river valleys of central Germania.
Germans also make their way to the Celts in southern Europe, who are a dieing race. The influx of Germans has created a turning point in these peoples history, creating a new peoples, the Helvetti, and thus changing the nation.
Along the busy coastlines and into the island littered eastern Mediterranean, trade is finally taking off. With the coming of the Iron Age, more and more people are taking to trading and mercantilism to make a living. The three trade cities of Mitanni, Judea, and Phoenicia are first to begin a strong trade route with Egypt. However, when the trade begins to stabilize, Minoa jumps on the wagon, and monopolizes trade from Cyprus to Sicily. Rhodes is soon to follow, establishing her realm of influence in the Aegean. The sea is now littered with trade routes, making it one of the most prosperous areas in the world.
Port of Knosses
Stretching over miles and miles of sea and land, the city-state of Antigot has now become and Empire, after establishing many colonies throughout the Western Mediterranean. Trade continues to flourish, as it is expanded to accompany the growing city of Carthage. Population growth also soars in all of Antigot, making colonies easier to settle, and propelling the village of Enitot to become a metropolis of trade and culture. However, there are still problems that haunt the fair empire. The Fez tribes continually harass the colony in Africa, and the growing discontent towards the Antigotians has united most of the tribes under one chief, who names his new realm as the Confederation of the Fez. His army gathers at the borders with the Antigotian colony, prepared to strike the poor lands. The loss of this colony could cut off supplies to Antigots other holdings in Iberia, forcing the creation of land routes through hostile Basque country. Meanwhile, the new state of Malaga, formed by dissidents of Antigot colonies and Numidian peoples, has pledged to remain neutral in the conflict regarding the Fez.
Along the thin strip of fertile land in Africa, the Carthaginians surprise everyone when a fleet arrives outside the unfortified Numidian capital, and the docks with over a thousand soldiers inside. The city is taken without one death, and a small force lands in the adjacent city in order to backup the main force. The Numidians of course begin to mobilize for war in the outlying towns, but have yet to strike. The Carthaginians have also put a huge emphasis on not disrupting the trade that the Numidian capital engages in, so as to keep it rich for themselves.
In the area generally known as Aegea (surrounding and concerning the Aegean Sea), several empires expand and contract. Firstly, as civilization and technology spreads throughout all of Greece, independent city-states arise in the north; some of the most powerful include Pella and Scupi. This is when Sparta sees its potential to strike. Over the Ionium Sea, the magnificent army first lands in Ambracia, sacking the city and hording the resources. Hearing news of the Spartan landing, Pella and Scupi mobilize their armies and together march to meet the Spartans. Upon the fields of Perclea, the two armies clash. Led by General Laritus, the Spartans concentrate their power with spearmen and the Spartan Phalanx, fortifying a square in the middle of the battlefield that is impenetrable by any Greek strategy. Unknowingly, the Greeks had an idea up their sleeves. With Spartans playing defensively, the Greeks had fashioned a dozen crude catapults, which they used to fling large stones upon the tight Spartan formation. Immediately the form began to crack, and fighting resumed. After three days of stop and go fighting, the leaders of Pella, Scupi, and General Laritus met to speak. The aftermath was quite astounding, the Greeks had agreed to form a Spartan Federation, where they had just as much power as they did before, but was forever tied to an alliance to the Spartan king, and the economies and armies were combined. To face the greater world, what Greece remained independent has united.
Meanwhile, the Lydians take matters into their own hands and rise up their army. They want the Rhodesian presence in Anatolia to be destroyed, and so march against the trading city. Without much of any army, especially compared to Lydia, the Rhodesians are faced with reality, they are going to loose, and so immediately evacuate the city. Now, deeply angered about the sudden show of hostilities, the Rhodesians cut off all trade going to and leaving from Lydia. This punishment is devastating upon the economy of Lydia, something must be done.
Just east, Hattasus goes under a major remodeling. Fueled from the trade that the new prince has just allowed to enter Hittite borders, the final cog in the Hittite war machine has been put in place. Calling up thousands to join the army, the Hittites show off their military prowess by invading the poor nation of Lezgia, to the east. Lezgia has been in decline in recent years, suffering from lack of trade and a horrendous plague that swept the nation a few years back. But it did have an army, and it was thoroughly beaten by the Hittite swarm. Now, rejuvenated from its victory, and with a whole population to enslave and force to fight, the Hittites stare greedily to its west
Along the barren mountains of the Middle East, the Persians take the fighting to Bactrian land, crossing the rugged Zagros Mountains and into the Bactrian plateau. The Bactrians, after being defeated in the Battle of Mountain Pass, are scarcely protected, and so the Persians without a fight take village after village. Most say that the Bactrian army has retreated back to its homeland, possibly fatally wounded. The acquisition of these new lands, already built up by the Bactrians, has helped the Persian economy (+ economy).
The Assyrian war machine is turned on again and the venture of a new conquest. Greedy Assyrian eyes have spotted the lands in the east, known as Phoenicia, a trading city-state. Needing an access port to the Mediterranean, the Assyrians decide to annex the city militarily. The Phoenicians do not have much to resist the Phoenicians, little more then half a thousand men in a standing army, with a few hundred more in reserve, and only a couple dozen chariots. A small battle takes place along the road leading to Tyre, in which trade has dominated it since the dawn of time, and now has been annexed by Assyria to use to transport its armies and supplies. After the small Phoenician army was decimated, the city surrendered in order to be spared total annihilation. Seeing the destruction of its northern neighbor, Judea has called upon a large army to defend itself from similar defeats, as has Mitanni.
City of Tyre, surrendered to Assyria
Half way across the world, Magadha utilizes its gigantic army for war. The tale of Helvettica quickly dies in Brismaras heart, as he moves his armies eastward against the barbarians who inhabit the vital river of the Ganges. As the ground gets muddy and low, the Brismara meets the Guangxi. This is where the campaign comes to an end, Brismara is pleased with his dominion. However, on his way back, he is struck with a serious illness, most likely malaria, that takes his life. He soon dies, and his son heir, Samisara, inherits all that is Magadha. Still young and crazed with the Helvettica Promised land in the west, Samisara invades the nation of Lothal. However crazed the man is, he is commanding a Magadhan army, and his tactics are superb, having learned them from his father. Samisaras army defeats any other opposing army in his way, and ends up at the city of Lothal. Here, he then lays siege, and await the capitulation of the country. (Lothal: -600 Spearmen, -600 Archers, -200 horsemen; Magadha: -500 Spearmen, -300 Archers, -300 Horsemen).
Making use of their army for the first time, the Harappan soldiers leave their white-walled cities and perfectly dug irrigation fields, and march towards the Indus in the south who has forever cut off trade with Gujarat. The battles were quick, and the Harappans were decisively proven in battle as top-notch. Fueled now with trade with Gujarat and the spoils of war with the Indus, the Harappan economy becomes the most powerful in India. Meanwhile, other entities appear, including the Dravidians and the Sinhalese in the south. The Aryans continue to loom in the Himalayan, creating a shadow throughout all of India.
OOC:
Thom: To increase economy, you cannot spend anything the whole turn.
For this game, when you receive an asterik by your name, it means you are experiencing some kind of economic boom (from trading, conquering, or something else), and it means you have 2 extra spending points on top of what you already have.
Also, when describing what a wonder does, tell me when you say + economy if it is economy levels, or just 2 turns of increasing economy.
