Emperor Shi Khaw had died at a ripe age of 105, or so the legends said and his young son, Crown Prince Thai Nang now Emperor was a “weak” ruler. He decided against the Economic Policies of his ancestors and weakening the control of the state on the economy, and allowing the merchants, and everyone else below the government to have a say in the economy. In other hands, make the economy no longer in the control of the government.

But the vocal supporters against him were quickly “eliminated” by the “weak” Emperor and he initiated a series of reforms in the army and economy. He had decided that all the troops in the army should be equipped with the same weapons of their class. He allowed the noble land owning populace to join the military under the status Imperial Guard.

The Imperial Guard is a unit of military soldiers formed by the landowning Nobles and are the finest troops in Qin, their equipment comes with a bow, a short spear about 6 meters long, and a short sword, the Qietian used for stabbing. Their armor is of the finest bronze quality, but one of the effects of all these equipment is that they are VERY slow.

As one of his reforms, the Emperor encouraged towns and villages to be built along the Huang He and Trade routes so that people would find traveling more convenient. One of his weirdest theory was that smart people is more productive people reasoning that smarter people would invent more useful tools in both war and economy.

Qin Orders
Spend my 1 tax money on increasing the education of my people by building more schools in the countryside.

Order 500 Bowmen and 500 Warriors to march along the Huang He east and bring all of those lands under the Qin Banner.

Have 500 Bowmen and 500 Warriors to go west from the Qin Capitol and try to reach that branch of the Huang He.

Order all available water to be divided among the farmers and are to be insured equality by the Imperial Inspectors sent.
 
"Look to the stars"
- Mayan God, this message was taken literally, and is reason for huge emphasis placed on astrology and mathematics within Palenquinian culture.​

ORDERS:
(Spend our one economy constructing a temple to the divine [increase education])

The Yucatan is ours by divine right, now we must conquer it and secure its vast riches! Expand all across the Yucatan, Warriors and archers are to clear tracts of rainforest as they go, cutting across and setting up small camps as they go.

We must establish sophisticated writing to aid us in charting the skies, Priests shall write out new hieroglyphs basing them on old Olmec writings, begin establishing this writing system throughout our city of Palenque.

Begin mapping the sky, our divine priests tell us this is necessary to understand the cycle of the planets and the will of the gods. Begin developing a calender to allow us to accurately chart the days and the years.

Numbers will be needed in order for us to accurately map the skies and devise a calendar system to honor the gods. Our basic number system, borrowed from our olmec predecessors, will be based on the number of 10, starting with the number of 0, the void. Elaborate on these number concepts and use them to aid us in all functions of governing and construction.

With new construction going on in the city of Palenque, align buildings to the position of the stars, so that our grand city shall have, literally, a 'divine' structure.

To sustain a growing populace, we must have good farmers. Begin a new irrigation project, cutting down non essential forests and plotting farms to sustain our peoples. Carve out the sides of mountains to farm in the highlands of the Yucatan, and develop irrigation ditches to aid us in farming far from rivers.

OCC: Thanks to North King for helping.

There is no honor in betrayal. There is no reward in the after-life. Gods see humans betray each other, and look sadly on upon the Earth. Their Chosen King, however, lives. Kimmei's lesson had been learned, and had been learned well. There would be honor in the Yamato, or there would be death.

Kimmei sat alone in the palace, his eyes burning into the fire in front of him. Honor meant nothing to his people, as Akira had plainly shown. Honor would be part of his people, so that the Gods would again be honored to their fullest extent. His Bushido would be followed, no matter what.

After the....unfortunete incident with the betrayer Akira, Kimmei ruled with an iron fist, making sure that all men in the City would follow the path of Honor, to him, uncondiationly. His Code of Laws securing this, the Bushido, soon gained populartiry within the army, and they followed their King without Question.

Bushido's Creed

I have no parents; I make the Heavens and the Earth my parents.
I have no home; I make the Tan T'ien my home.
I have no divine power; I make honesty my Divine Power.
I have no means; I make Docility my means.
I have no magic power; I make personality my Magic Power.
I have neither life nor death; I make the Gods my Life and Death.

I have no body; I make Stoicism my Body.
I have no eyes; I make The Flash of Lightning my eyes.
I have no ears; I make Sensibility my Ears.
I have no limbs; I make Promptitude my Limbs.
I have no laws; I make Self-Protection my Laws.

I have no strategy; I make the Right to Kill and the Right to Restore Life my Strategy.
I have no designs; I make Seizing the Opportunity by the Forelock my Designs.
I have no miracles; I make Righteous Laws my Miracle.
I have no principles; I make Adaptability to all circumstances my Principle.
I have no tactics; I make Emptiness and Fullness my Tactics.

I have no talent; I make Ready Wit my Talent.
I have no friends; I make my Mind my Friend.
I have no enemy; I make Incautiousness my Enemy.
I have no armour; I make Benevolence my Armour.
I have no castle; I make Immovable Mind my Castle.
I have no sword; I make No Mind my Sword.


"There will be honor. There will be honor." Kimmei whispered into the fire. "There will be honor."

The uniting were sucsesfull and there are going tales that their father was a God. Anyway he is titualted as the savior of England, and as the greatest leader in the world.

Duke William I of Wales
The brother of the king that helped him uniting England and leaded the armies who destroyed the Welsh riders, he was then made chieftan of Wales, he changed the name to Duke of Wales, as he found that to be a funny name, only serving under the King himself. He is known as a great warrior and Military leader, they say his might in battle comes from his father, that should have been a God.

Brendan
The God of drinking. He is always seen with a horn of beer at his side. It's said that his magic is what makes beer, and not how you brew it. He often comes to poeple who are drunk and tell them what to do, and it's said that everybody that is killed by a drunken person comes to serve him.

Send all troops in an attack against the Tohuku Kingdom.


To Tohuku
From Chubu


The time has come for a tribe to unite Japan. We are at war, however, there is still time to peacefully surrender your lands to us.
 
16 orders, and 4 or so new sign ups, lol. *faints*

Update is scheduled today, though mind you if something comes up I can still rely on Friday (launching of the NES counts as an update, and so that makes 3 a week :))

Jason
 
lol

Hope you get to update today...
 
Story when I get home tonight:

1.Create a UU: Mountain Spearman - Troops recruited from local villages and trained for war. They live normal lives until there is a need to fight, and then they join the army. Know the terain very well and are motivated to fight for their homes. Very good at defence in the mountains.
2. Spend the 1 eco on UU
3. Grant autonomy to Adjaria - put a loyal noble in charge there and have them be in charge of their own projects. Same for Osetia (the two regions with cities)
4. Continue to build as much as possible. Use the mountains and build bridges across them, archs, aquaducts. Center most of this on the cities, but dont forget the rural areas and make sure there are paths going to the cities.
 
I know how it feels, Jason.

When you have problems with getting yourself to update, but feel that it's no lack of inspiration or ability but just simple sloth,
NESer's guide to modding said:
then BANG YOUR HEAD ON THE WALL VIOLENTLY UNTIL YOU FORCE YOURSELF TO UPDATE! IT IS GUARANTEED TO EITHER KILL YOU, EITHER MAKE YOU UPDATE!

Yeah, but then you get something like the last Absolution Update which took me an inexplicable 2 hours to do and which I left with the feeling of "dammit, there are going to be complaints. Entirely valid ones too. I am a dumbass."
 
ORDERS:

begin to develop a writing system (increase education)
tell farmers to plant corn and potatoes as well as other crops to stimulate the economy.
The Mohawk Warrior is our UU, it is a warrior that costs more but is much more powerful. Excels in gureilla(indian style) warfare.

Expand in all directions, teach those Alqonquins(non-Hadoshonee, kinda like Barbarians) a lesson.
