HISTORY OF FENNIA - CHAPTER II:

As the first few hundred years passed, the Fennians formed a society that ensured the equality of all Fennian tribes in the Neva area. This kind of semi-democratic tribal council system was actually very strange in a society which was other than this quite despotic; tribes didn't select their kings, the title was always passed on as heritage. And so was the title of the Chairman of the Council; it belonged to the Brahe dynasty. This family was believed to be "holy" and "chocen by Ukko Ylijumala" among the religious people of Fennia.

Each year the kings of the tribes would gather together in the capital city if St. Brahesburg to decide things in a tribal council, in which we could see some forms of democracy - altough the Chairman's vote always counted more than the kings's.

It took several hundreds of years before this system started to work; but eventually it did, and the council was soon capable of deciding such issues as sending military units to expand Fennian territories and convert other Finno-Ugrian tribes to the Fennian inter-tribal community. And some troops were trained to become more specialized and fierce axe-fighters than the rest; these fighters would make the enemies shiver with their fierce yell, "HAKKAA PÄÄLLE!". They became known as the Axe-Hakkapelitas, and their legend lived on for thousands of years, as during later ages the "real" Hakkapelitas would take their name from these legendary axe-fighters.

It has been estimated that in 3550 BC, the Fennians were already having about 600 men in their military. If the local legends hold true, about 60-70 of them are believed to be "axe-hakkapelitas".

During these times, the Fennians also started to construct roads to the borders of their nations, to improve economy; it is believed that furs were brought to St. Brahesburg through these roads...

Areas inhabitated by Finno-Ugrians approximately in 3550 BC:

 

[Finmaster]

Fennia ORDERS:

Grow army.
Build roads to the borders of the empire and bring furs to the capital city, and try to increase economy this way.
Expand towards north (to Finland) with 300 men (35 UU's) and towards southwest (towards estonia) with 200 men (30 UU's).

Burgundy

Charles the Bold as dead, felled by an arrow at the tender age of 568. Good thing too, because in this new age of Markets and grand economies, there was no place for a warmonger closer to a Neanderthal then a ordinary human.

In his place, King John took control of the kingdom. He rules fairly, giving much leeway to the merchants, and keeping the army under control by inventing a new "ladder of control" amongst it. Training the army in discipline was important to King John.

Because of these early successes, he was nicknamed King John the Fair.

Orders:
- train army (if i can) if i cant, increase the army
- expand into Southern France with 100 men
- expand into Southwestern France with 100 men
- expand into the Alps slowly, with 100 men
- expand into Germania with 100 men and 70 Kickass Killers

 

[Oruc]

Nope!

-ruler of Japanese tribe talking to his people
"My people we are in a war, a war that is costing you your spirits i can see. But you must understand this is not a war for power or land but a war for our right to exsist. So i ask of you to rally behind the Japanese name and help destroy the Aneu foe.
- this causes a decent amount of cheering from the crowd, it seems their hearts our back in it slightly

Orders
increase army
continue to rally the people to rally and fight against the aneus, expand as well
research the art of taiming horses and spears

 

[naervod]

Two questions:
1)If I am in the Copper Age, shouldn't I have at least learned how to write?

2)What are the rules for upgrading army ages?

 

[Jason The King]

Naervod, yes, you have writing in Copper Age. The ones who I told everyone who had writing was because they had not advanced into Copper Age yet, so they had a copper tech while still in stone age. I will add a section to the front page that says the technology you have in each age. If I specifically say you have a technology, it's because you have it at a time you shouldn't..

Upgrading your army will take an economy in most cases, and will shrink you militarydependent on what age your goin too, and your education. Your training, if there is training, of your armed forces will also drop.

 

[amirsan]

Story and orders later...

 

[puglover]

The day had come for England to expand beyond the borders of London. King George feasted his eyes upon the spacious hills of Scotland. He gave the signal. His men gave a mighty shout as they ran toward the Scottish camp.

- Attack Scotland with 400 men and 30 Mighty Warriors
- Defend the border with 100 men and 20 Mighty Warriors
- Station 100 men in London
- Train more Mighty Warriors

 

[a_dead_rat]

Rome was growing. King Ceaser was growing the Empire that had been weak. The Roman Empire of 3700 BC was a sidenote in history, but Ceaser wanted to make it much, much more. Time to conquer the Etruscan lands!

ORDERS:
Expand even more
Increase economy by raising taxes.

 

[Warman17]

The Babylonians had conqured Sumers allies and now demanded that the leaders be turned over! Not a chance, SUmer would fight the Babylonian agression to the last. The King ordered the the troops be fitted with the new weapons, bows for long reach. also the Chariot had been designed for swift Bow attacks.

The Sumerian army would also be supported by the Ki Warrior. The Ki Hunters of old would be trained for combat, but still mostly sneak attacks like hunters. The army would march against the Babylonian horde.

The Grand Ziggurat was almost complete all it needed now was painters and the final slabs to be put on the top. The granery hold was ready and was already handeling small amounts of grain. It was still nothing compared to what it could truly hold.

Also in an attempte to keep the public involved in knowladge of the new fininds and inventions many more temples and priests would be made and sent out to teach the public.

ORDERS:

Upgrade troops to Copper Age(-1 Economy)

Grow Education 2 times to avoid the -2 rule.(-1 economy)

Finish Grand Ziggurat of Ur(+2 Economy, +2 Culture)

Invade Babylon with 2/3 of my army(whats left of it). Target Babylon lands that have recently been captured to get public support.

Send our Tirmeans to destroy the puny babylonian navy. Also have them launch raids on remote babylonian villiges and farms bordering the river.

 

[Amon Savag]

ORDERS
-Grow navy
-Send my men in the new canoes to try to do ANOTHER expedition across the waters to other islands...Do this expedition in the "Fall" or "Winter" seasons when there's not much storms going on
-Start wonder "Big fat thing"(+3 economy)

 

[aaminion00]

Siam

The ancient kingdom of Siam had just developed domestication. The first in the world to do so. The various animals were plowing the fields, and had made cruel slave-labor a thing of the past. But Siam's land was too forested to allow for much farming. The king ordered his people to cut many trees, to boost the economy.

In the meanwhile, AAminion00 was wondering why his wonder hadn't been finished.

-----

Orders:

- Increase economy by cutting many trees, allowing for more farms
- Expand the same directions as in the last order
- Finally finish that wonder....

CHINA

Our people all around China gather to the site of our great new monument, the Terracotta Warriors. It looked beautiful, all homes accross Peking was empty for the people was at the Terracotta Warriors. They were inspired by the site and all warriors that they all became one of them and recruited in the military. Though as you know, we couldn't accept all of them, we needed to stabalize our economy, we accepted a humble number of 400.

This made my heart grow red as the people with thier love of peace for this country continues. Our twenty Elite Copper Shielded Chu Ko Nu's were upgraded to generals to teach all 1200 regular Chu Ko Nu's how to fight.

As I am watching my troops be trained my general enters the room. I ask him what's the matter as he loses his breath running up my stairs. He told me that our territory across the Yellow River was destroyed by the barbarians.

I was stressed at the situation though I knew how to handle it. Animals are nothing but bonus meat for our people. Our 400 troops were at the front behind the river already. This will be a chance for our new units to fight...

I send all of our 800 troops to the front, I orders the 400 there to hide and stay away from the animals. My Elites follow as I order more Copper Shielded Chu Ko Nu's to follow as well.

I explained to my general to send 20 regulars to the river and make the animals follow the cheese across the river. As they cross we attack giving us the best advantage.

My general Mon Tzu understood and walked out the door...

I slept back and called my top explorer, Heng Le. He came right away. I liked that, his disipline. I wanted to reward him. I told him that our people and engineers have begun the planning of a monument that will be called the Leng He Expedition. This monument will make your followers feel the love to expand harder and double our territory.

He loved it, I saw it in his eyes, though he didn't show it. I liked this also...


ORDERS:
-Finish Wonder of Terracotta.
-Send all 1200 troops and attack like shown above.
-Increase amount of Copper Shielded Chu Ko Nu's and send like above.
-Start new wonder called the Leng He Expedition doubleing our borders and making expansion faster. Please tell me how long.

 

[china444]

ill get orders in later

 

[Jason The King]

To double your borders, the wonder will take a while. Like 10 turns. You might also want to know that when you double your borders your economy will boom, but the amount of territory for your soldeirs to defend goes up, so it will be very hard to defend them. You can already see this with the large territory you have now, you already lost a bunch to barbs.

 

[amirsan]

Ok, then change to faster expansion movement. Take out the double.

 

[naervod]

The people of the Barbary Coast were victorious. The Carthaginians had been defeated and annexed, and there were parades in the streets of Tripoli, leading up to the steps of the Grand Temple. Also, in the outskirts of thecity stonecutters and masons were experimenting with a new metal, called copper. It would make stronger weapons and would also arm triremes, the new ships of the age. Also, in honor of the victory and new discovries, more temples were built so preists could go and convert the many non-believers in the land.

ORDERS:
Grow eeducation x2 to counter age jump
Upgrade men to Copper Age
Strip down canoes and build triremes
Expand along coast with all but 100 men
