[Xen]

dude; dont worry about us- just go take care of your mom

 

[Stormbringer]

Jason, its ok, if there is anyone here who would rather you update than take care of your mom I'll personally punch them.

 

[das]

I agree with Xen. But as soon as everything gets better, you should get back on track and update immediately, okay?

 

[North King]

Take care of all the family things before you THINK about updating. I mean it. Don't worry about us.

I hope it turns out all right.

 

[Amon Savag]

You're going to spend all night at the doctor's place!?Stop in,say hi,then come back and update man.

I'm kindof kidding

Your mom would be there for you,thus you should be there for her...Unless she wouldn't have been there for you,then you should take the advice said above.

 

[Sheep]

Whens the update anyways? Why do you need to go see uyor mum, you see her every other day,



For those who are socially inept I am joking you know.

 

[Goober]

Ohh, me, I am, like, totally socially inept!!!

And ya, RL before NESes, each and everytime. Take care of your mom, car crashed are not good.

 

[SKILORD]

Whens the update anyways? Why do you need to go see uyor mum, you see her every other day,



For those who are socially inept I am joking you know.

People who are socially inept enough to have misunderstood that could hardly have articulated a response.

 

[Amon Savag]

All you who say rl before NES need to dedicate yourselves more to NESing.

 

[Goober]

Yes, just because I am paying about 4 grand for University doesn't mean a thing in the face of NESing, right?

 

[Jason The King]

Yes, just because I am paying about 4 grand for University doesn't mean a thing in the face of NESing, right?

That's correct.

Anyways, thanks for your concerns everyone, she's okay, just minor aches in her neck (whiplash) and back, she'll be home tomorrow thus I can update tomorrow and be back on track.

NESing is a mysterious wonder,which has many faces...It might mean something to one face...But you've also gotta check it with the other various faces,and it's all too complicated to talk about,so I'm going to sleep now.

All that amounts to "4 thousand dollars shouldn't be enough to neglect your NESing"

Write that down somewhere...I won't always be around to give you that kind of insight.

 

[das]

Well, Jason, if everything is okay, THEN WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WASTING TIME TO SAY THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY AND NOT WRITING ABOUT HOW THE GREEKS BEAT UP MY ARMY?!

No, really?

 

[Xen]

Well, Jason, if everything is okay, THEN WHY THE HELL ARE YOU WASTING TIME TO SAY THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY AND NOT WRITING ABOUT HOW THE GREEKS BEAT UP MY ARMY?!

No, really?

I see abit of irony betwene this comment, and some critics notes agiasnt my own comments in a certian other NES

stJNES9 – Changing Times​

Update IV: 2200 BC​

Events

Across the whole Coast of Salish, warriors from villages begin to join the Tribal Army, a united army that is charged with the protection and welfare for all of the tribes in the Salish Coast. Such a surge of volunteers were not expected, but definitely welcomed by the Chiefton who presides over the army. Immediately the men were sent east to secure important and strategic land that will btter help secure the future of the Coast Salish.

Civil war erupts in Mongolia, as Chief Aming dies and leaves his vast empire of the steppes to his five sons, who decide to fight over the lands. The strongest is Kerand Aming, who rules over Karakorum and the most fertile pastures. The rest of the dynasties are faced with armies of only the most loyalist soldiers who joined to fight for their chief. Meanwhile, the non-Mongolian barbarians to the north and east have stepped up their raids of Mongol lands, now that the state is split. To add to things, the Taisil faction faces a much more imminent problem: the Chin have invaded their lands and are defeating their armies.

Siamese merchants come into contact with the Sri Lankans, who have colonized small groups of islands off the western coast of Siam. The contact came peacefully, and, what’s even better, large scale trade began immediately. Siamese quickly found a good taste for Sri Lankan spices and incents, while the Sri Lankans enjoy Siamese silk and constructed goods. The dominant Siamese culture is quickly spreading into Sri Lanka by the way of the traders, and Siamese-esque architecture is now common in Colombo.

A good example of Siamese archeticture that is spreading throughout Ceylon​

Kota Melaka, a large and ambitious city, is created by a new power in South East Asia, known Kesultanan Melayu Melaka.

The Thracian army embarks on one of the most dangerous missions in the world: the invasion of neighboring Spartan League. The Spartans are not ill prepared for war, having been battling within its own borders for countless generations. They are, though, a bit surprised for having been invaded without an provocation. However, they rally behind their king, Delphian, Athenian and Spartan alike. And, after the Thracians capture the key northern village of Pella, they League has pushed them back from the siege on Delphi, and back into the Macedonian high country. Losses have been exceedingly high, though more tilted to the invading army. (-1,600 Thracian infantry, -1,400 Thracian archers, -2,000 Thracian warriors, -3,400 Spartan infantry, -750 Spartan archers)

The first writing system of the American continents is developed in Hodinoshone, and is known as Irikit. Basically, the writing consists of forty letters, each having its own sound of the human mouth. This includes vowels, something rather advanced for such an age. The writing system soon spreads throughout Hodinoshone, and the Atlantic coast (+ education).

The Georgians continue to urbanize, and this creates a pending problem. The country is the most urbanized in the world, more then half of its people live and work in cities. However, you can see the exact opposite in the north, where the Scythian horsemen roam free among sparsely populated villages. The Scythians have forever looked to the white cities of Georgia as a source of plunder, and as their forces grow stronger, the reality of a successful raid becomes more and more real.

The desert Garamantes try desperately to push for the Nile, but unfortunately the Nubians are too much of a match, and repel each and every campaign that Garamantes leads. The Garamantes are attracted to the Egyptian and Nubian culture, and are fascinated with the Nile River, but alas are unable to obtain it. Meanwhile, for the past two centuries extreme droughts sweep the savannah, and many parts are turning into dry, non-productive deserts. The economy of the great plain state crashes, and the people fall into famine.

The Entirans begin an age of discovery, as galleys and expeditions are sent out from the small city state to all of the regions of the Mediterranean. The explorers come in good intentions to the natives of the places they land, and befriend them rather then conquer them. However, such a loose “alliance” with the natives is risky, leaving them strong enough to rouse an effective rebellion whenever they want. One of the most peculiar colonies is that of the northern turkey coast in the Black Sea. The Entirans are out of place in this Greek-Thracian dominated sphere, but have managed to set up an effective colony here. It isn’t expected to last long, though, as the Bosporus is becoming increasingly more and more dangerous to travel.

The Palenque continues to keep up the canal structures throughout their nation, a hard task to do, but the people love it. However, in order to pay for this, the Emperor ordered a tax hike, which has gently hit the economy negatively. However, it is thought that such an improvement to the canal transportation system will lead to more trade and communication, and thus make up the difference plus more that the increases taxes did to the economy.

The Dominion of Trikk gets a new King. King Montubalu comes to power, and with him many men enlist in the army, intent on serving their king after he announced his plans for Trikk domination in the Amazon. Fed up with the small, failed campaigns that plague Trikk’s past concerning the Amazon, Montubalu raises six thousand men in his army and marches them south against the Amazonians. Having no chance, most Amazonians accept the rule, still others fight like hell to remain independent. However, most are not victorious, and Montubalu has carved an enormous empire in the Amazon based on the blade. (-1,000 warriors).

The Qin Dynasty economy makes a tremendous rebound, as granaries are established in villages as well as imperial courts and roads that connect many villages to the central city. This sense of unity has spread throughout the dynasty’s empire, and has become to be known as the united Chinese empire, as all other dynasties envy the Qin.

The Chesapeake people continue to expand their agricultural opportunities in tobacco, and even great strides have been made in trading amongst themselves and outside powers. Fishing has also grown in importance in the Chesapeake bay.

The Yamato wait for the withdrawal of the Ming fleet in anticipation for an ambush. However, to their dismay and confusion, the Ming do not withdraw, and instead blow south towards Yamato, abandoning most of their positions in Chubu. Here they catch the Yamato off guard, and destroy most of their defenses along the coast from the behind. Also, a small Ming force lands in Korea, but are met with harsh resistance and eventually pushed off the peninsula by the Yamato samurai. (-2,300 Yamato Samurai, -400 Chubu Samurai, -1,000 Ming Archers).

Battles were mere skirmishes in the Middle East as the Mitanni withdraw to the capital city, and the Israelis occupy the countryside. Meanwhile, the Mitanni royal family secretly withdraws to Cyprus, where they send an envoy to the Entirans.

The Atlanteans continue to expand into the mainlands of Africa and Europe, connecting its two colonies in Africa rather peacefully and with success. In Iberia, Atlantis begins to feel the pressure of the Celtic tribes that inhabit the area, and the whole colony is at risk. However, to counter this threat a magnificent stone fort is constructed near the Tagus River known as Toledo Fort. This fort is the most advanced, strongest fort to ever have been built in the world. It is a marvel at the ingenuity of the Atlanteans, who do not posses the technologies of iron, to have sculpted such a stone structure.

From Mitanni

Oh great empire builders! Our peaceful civilization is at a near end, all that we have worked for is on the verge of loss. We ask that you help and persuade the Israelis to allow us to live on this half of the island. We shall pay all expenses lost to you, and we shall forever be grateful!!!
