--- World Events ---
Canoes full of warriors are sunk due to rapid storms and choppy waves in the Philippine seas. A hurricane is the culprit, and it spreads to the Geystral mainland, destroying many crops and homes.
With the Japanese bow and arrow, they are able to advance somewhat on the untrained Aenu. However, many lives are being lost, and the confidence is severely hurting the Japanese people.
With the aid of the Nubians and the new chariot designs, the Egyptians are able to push the Hyksos out of northern Egypt. Many people have died from the menace, and the crops of the north have been left in shambles.
Barbarian attacks in East Normandy kill many warriors, but expansion in the west works out well for the Normans, gaining the full upper coast of France.
The great road system in Burgundy was finally completed. The roads, being the most technologically superior roads in the world (like ancient Roman roads), they are an essential route for barterers and such. However, with the roads comes a new discovery, Mercantilism! Now markets spring up in the major villages, and created a whole new class system of merchants.
A new civilization in Italy has arisen. Out of the ashes of the Etruscans rise the Roman tribe. They are skilled in exploring and their legions of warriors are able to destroy any neighbor tribe.
Apparently the Mississippian chief did not hear the reports of the century-times. The crop failure is still in effect, and now more soldiers are lost, and more land is lost to the Choctaw.
Many shamans fail in their attempt to convert villages in Australia, but some do still join by the spear as the southern villages are invaded.
Barcelona falls to Aragon after the decade-long siege.
The Barbaryians push for the final attack on Carthage. While some arrive on boat to try to break the defenses, there really are none because they forgot they were in the stone age, and wars are merely attacks of bands of men with clubs

. Anyhow, the war goes well and Carthage and surrounding areas fall. Many more manpower is added to the Barbary state, as well as fertile crop land.
Great temple of Hamnilar is completed in Tripoli. Many go to worship in this huge temple, boosting the economy of the city and thus the state as people pay to worship. Also, from the genious preists produce, the Coast advances into the copper age.
Triremes are finally built in Sumer. These can load many a people more, and can travel in the ocean (though you might want to stay close to land

) Sumer discovers copper.
Babylonia strikes! Bet that scared you warman, lol. Babylonia doesnt attack Sumer, but engulfs the Tigris code, completely annihilating the army and capturing the united city-states. While the Babylonians did take damage, it wasnt much as the code falls. The men are then used for slaves, which boost the economy of Babylon. In the mean time, the governments of the Tigris Code hides in Sumer.
To Sumer
From Babylonia
Release the government of the Code, and we shall have no quarrel.
Expansion triples in Siam as people develop domestication and need flat land to graze the sheep, lambs, and some cattle.
Ashanti tribes begin to use the men captured as slaves, completely boosting the economy as it frees more people to spread farms and pottery making and clothe weaving.
Southern China is recked with barbarian attacks, and for such a large tribe not even chariots are fast enough to defend it. The army needs to be larger! Meanwhile, the army existing has pulled back to the other shores of the Yellow River.
