stJNESX: From Bad to Good
Update 8: 1300bce​

The first constructed inter-city road in Canaan is completed between the capital and the trading metropolis of Eilat. Trade goods from the Saracen Empire now enter the city of Jericho, and tax free because of the bypassing of the Akkadian tax. This has led to widespread celebration and an influx in purchases, leading more money for the economy.

The scattered Hun armies migrate south, away from the war-torn, poor lands of the Novgorodians that they once conquered. Here on the steppes they begin to form a government, and even went so far as to salute to a new ruler, Limus II. Very rapidly new settlements, permanent settlements, are being built and the once-called barbarians are soon settling down to civilized lives.

As the Shu empire grows, so do the civil unrest and rebellions. Already in the conquered province of Shang, rebellions rise up the need the attention of the Shu army, and has begun to wear down the forces in the area. More forces are needed, and they are just not to be found in such a huge and stretched empire as the Shu.

The Gujarati and the Persians have finally signed peace, and the Indus Valley returns to its economic powerhouse as it once was, though half of the profit is transferred to Persepolis instead of the Gujarat capital. In other news, Persia undergoes a grand population increase as the grain is accumulated from the Indus valley, and several new cities are sprung just in this century, including Satsu on the Indus River.

The first official trade route, agreed upon by the two nations and established with money and force, opens between the nations of Cyprus in the Mediterranean and Austria, thousands of feet above sea. However the differences, the trade is sensational, creating a whole new Austrian coastal city to handle the high-scale trade.

A grand mobile force is created in Ankara with the formation of a cavalry force. Every man in the army was stripped of his conventional arms and given a javelin or spear, whichever he preferred, and a noble steed that has been bred for war. The result is a highly trained, highly mobile mounted army, something a large nation could use to keep the rebellions at a minimum. Ironically, Ankara is the first to develop such a force, and is one of the smallest nations in the world.

A true republic is established in Hansea, finally reuniting, peacefully, the tribes of the Hanseatic League. The new republic is a first of its kind. Each tribe is represented in the capital by her leader, by whatever means he was able to become the leader of a tribe is entirely left up to the tribe. The leaders then form the Council, which acts as a balance to the King. The council has the power to veto anything the King does, given a majority of the Council disapprove of it. This has dramatically lessened the power of the King, and has truly put in jeopardy the future of the monarch.

Meanwhile, the missing Hun fleet was last spotted passing through the straights of denmark by a local tribesman of the Hanseatic League. The fisherman quickly reported it to the local army officer, but by the time the officer reached the shore, the fleet had already passed. It is assumed that it sailed off the end of the world, because it was never heard from again by the villagers there.

A Cypriot voyage began as the ships and army prepared to once again make the trek to Minoa, in secret. Attacking from the west rather then the expected east, the Cypriots raided the whole west coast, burning important villages and granaries while stealing whatever wealth was accumulated. The gains were enormous, both for moral and for treasury. The Minoans were hurt badly, economically, and morally. No large-scale military losses were reported on either side.

The treasuries of the Koguryo are emptied as spending increases dramatically on the army – but the spending is what created a 2,000 man army, all equipped and trained as swordsmen. Meeting the repulsing Chinese on the field of battle, the Koguryos outnumbered the Chinese 4:1, and easily destroyed the army sent at them. The rest of the Chinese army was spread across the empire to keep order, and thus left Beijing open. The city was sacked and burned. This has had a huge impact upon the moral of the Chinese, and it seems as if China has been beaten. Without a capital, much of the army that is left cannot be trusted to perform in battle. Meanwhile, the treasures of Beijing have restocked the Koguryo treasury.

Casualties:
China – 450 swordsmen, 75 archers, 100 horsemen
Koguryo - 400 swordsmen, 50 archers

With Takir aid and permission, the nation of Angleland is formed in northwestern Takir. This land had already accumulated the majority of the refugee Angles from Britain, and had out-populated the native Takiran population. The king of the nation is, of course, a vassal of the king of Takir, but the Angles are satisfied, being promised one day complete sovereignty.

The Takirans and Gaul continue their assault upon Massilia. The Takirans especially try something daring – they split their army in two and one attacks from the north and the other from the east. The Massilians, confused at such a tactic, are scattered amongst the southern plains and mountains, and are finally routed and the capital, Massilia, is captured by Takiran forces. However, the Gaul fare worse, loosing much more men. With such high losses, and inevitable defeat, the Massilians surrender to the two nations, becoming the second victim to Takir. A major contributing factor to the demise of Massilia was the flee of the refugee army back to peaceful Carthage.

Casualties:
Takir – 450 Legions, 55 spearmen, 30 Ching Guard
Gaul – 350 spearmen, 100 archers, 200 clubmen
Massilia – 500 Swordsmen, 400 Clubmen, 100 Archers

Carthage completely surrenders the island of Sicily to the Baelaric Kingdom, plus a tip of land on mainland Africa. In return, the Balearic Kingdom leaves the burnt ashes of Carthage.

With the absence of leadership, the Akkadians were almost hopeless in containing the Assyrians. This is when the Assyrians launch a counter attack, and broke through the Akkadian lines. Nothing but dirt stood in the way of Babylon and the Assyrian army, or so they thought. This was until an army, marched all the way from Canaan, intercepts them and defeats the Assyrians, whose empire is finally destroyed.

Casualties:
Akkadia – 400 swordsmen, 100 archers
Canaan – 300 clubmen, 50 archers
Assyria – 500 Swordsmen, 90 Clubmen, 50 archers

The New Rivial, the official name of the Egyptian religion that has spread over to more then five nations, continues to grow against the barbaric religions of most nations. Next to form a majority in their country are the Saracens, who soon adopt the religion as their own. A sizable minority is growing rapidly within Canaan and Akkadia as well.

OOC

Das, the first increase in UU is not free. I skipped this order.

Dexter, you did not have enough economy to form a trade route.

Stormbringer, you cannot upgrade spearmen to anything in Iron Age. Also, I cannot do the orders “attack only when I know I can win” cus you never know. Ignored also.

Metaliturtle, you don’t have iron age so you cannot train swordsmen, so I trained clubmen for you.

Julius, no training yet. I put five down that you never read the rules.

I halted Bulgar war, last time.
 
Mapo this time

So, the Huns will conquer America? That'd be a nice twist to the whole (hi)story. ;)

What are the basics of this "New Revival" or "New Revial" religion?

You forgot to recolor some North American lake.

I thought that if I have an asterik, then if I upgrade just one stat then its for free. Is it different?

IC:

Above all the buildings of Jericho towered the majestic royal palace, and the Old Temple (a new one was under construction in the other part of the city). Though most people thought that Canaan was being ruled from the palace, actually it was ruled from the temple. With every new ruler, the priests gained more and more influence. Under Hasilis, they were inferior to the king. Under Odreath, the state and the religion were equals. With Sidon, the priests ruled the kingdom.

Sidon was a priest, and participated in the process of reign. He also was the king, but right now he was a priest.

He entered the temple - the Val Tara guards let him into the Sapphire Room. It was a small room with blue stone walls and sapphires incrusted in them. In the middle of it all was a table with two chairs at it. Sidon sat down. Against him sat Avulon, the High Priest. On the table, there was a map of the known world - from the distant Minoa to Eastern Akkadia.

The war with Assyria was won, yet there were greater challenges ahead. Challenges of religious character.

"The Egyptian religion is spreading very quickly." - noted Avulon.

"Indeed. And we could not act against it, for all gods are one god."

"Yes. But remember that if our nation falls to the Egyptian religion, our culture will begin to merge with the Egyptian one. We must prevent it."

"Ofcourse." - Sidon wanted to ask "why?", but decided not to.

"Our people worship many gods, but monotheism often spreads, as just like the people like to see one king on the throne, they also want to see one god in a religion."

"So, you suggest that we spread Baalism to replace Lord's other masks?"

"Indeed. The Conclave has made the final decision. The process of complete merging between state and religion will begin. The Val Tara shall enter the Canaanite army. Baalism will be declared the state religion."

"I see. But what about the state before the merge is complete?"

"Nothing. We rest. We gather our forces. We strenghthen the religion and the state. And then... we will see."

"All Gods are One God!" - concluded the two men.

Diplo:

From: Canaan
To: Akkadia

We propose trade.

The Last Descendant of the Great Emperor Aleusuab has sucided! The Aleusuab Dynasty is no more! Nobles everywhere has rose up to declare their own kingdoms and attempt to reunite the lands of the Great Emperor! The State of the Qin Dynasty based around the former Rebel Stronghold of Titsu has been installed, with many other states as well. China is a divided land, no one ruler rules. The Ruler, Qin Sao Wang, has copied the old government of the Alesuab Dynasty, as well as the courts, and has begin improving the life of the peasants and artisans!

OOC: Haven't got permission for this, but if jason lets this happens, it will make me a VERY happy person, even if i suffer grave defeats.
 
I'm off on vacation for a week. Jason, please put Gaul on NPC until I return.
 
Hansea

OOC: What happened to my mission to Iceland.

To: Canaan (whom I assume is the green in Judea)
From: Hansea

Assuming your economy is up for it, would you like to trade with the far northern lands of the Hanseatic League?
 
Defeat. Stark, harsh defeat. The Gujarati people had done everything they could, and still, defeat reigned supreme over the land.

Kanauj looked that defeat in the eyes every time he saw one of his people, every time he looked in their faces. His people had been thrashed, destroyed in a short war that had shown that nothing was sacred, that even the strongest of structures could be torn down, that the best a people could construct would be shattered. It was far easier to destroy than to create.

He thought vauguely back to last year, when he had intercepted the sealed parchments of the King's last words. He remembered it all to well...

Kaunaj looked Haurpa in the eyes.

"If this gets out... If these orders and this will get out..."

"Gujarat is dead. Yes. Who would have thought that Chandragupta considered giving his kingdom to Dravidia for protection, that he would have willed the throne to their King?" Haurpa said, disbelieving.

"He didn't just consider. He did. Legally, we are all subjects of Dravidia. Legally, he should be sitting on that throne."

"But we cannot allow that! Chandragupta must have been very troubled. We cannot allow the spirit of the Gujarati to be crushed under a foreign heel voluntarily!" Haurpa said, almost squeaking with anger.

"No, we cannot. But you realize. This is treason."

"Treason?"

"Treason," said Kanauj firmly. "We are commiting treason because we are denying our rightful king his throne. I am willing to face that, Haurpa. Are you?"

Haurpa nervously gulped. He had never been brave, and he was not the one Kanauj would have chosen to be an accomplice in anything, let alone treason. But he knew. He knew all to well about this, and he would either have to be the one Kanauj worked with... Or dead.

Haurpa trembled. He too knew the possibilities. "All right. We find a king. I'm with you."

"Good," Kanauj said...

It was he who had saved Gujarat. He who had put Harsha, distant cousin of Chandragupta, on the throne. He who had to bear the burden of the mess his former leige had created by commiting suicide.

He had prayed for forgiveness, for Vishnu to shelter him as the Protector God. And so far nothing had come down on his head. Thank the gods for that.

The nation had fallen to a great empire. He could not have done anything. But he could now. He was the most trusted advisor of the King, and he intended to use that. He would lead his people to glory and greatness. He, Kanauj, would lead them so.

"For Gujarat," he whispered, and walked into the palace of the King, the word silently echoing over and over in his mind.


ORDERS: (Gujarat)

Increase Economy.

Continue Wonder.

Build the cities of Karachi at the mouth of the Indus, and Sakkur across the river from the Persian Northern Border. Both are to be heavily fortified, well planned towns, and garrisoned with one fourth of the army each. They are to be well on guard for any attack.

The other half of the Army will garrison Gujarat itself. They are to be well on guard for any attack.
 
The Past news about the death of the last descendant of the Alesuab Dynasty is False! A new Emperor, a distant nephew of the Emperor, has rose to the throne from his base at Titsu. He has already ordered that all nobles that had rose up against China be immeaditely sent to the new Captiol of Xi'an, and there they will be tried with treason in front of peasant juries. He has decided that a new name is needed, and has claimed and announced the New Lue Dynasty of China. Long Live the Lue!
 
The Empire of Takir
Victory was assured over Massilia. Rome was already fully under Takirian contorl. The Armies were trained and strong as Legions marched across the empire. While the economy wasn't so great still all was fine. The Angelians have became vassals of Takir and decleared independance. All was working well in Takir. But what about outside of Takir?

Takir maps were not the greatest in the world, it was told even the Angle tribes knew more than Takir in the north. Takir did not knew what was behind the Austrians, They did not knew far from the Mediterian. The Emperor knew this but Emperor after emperor refused to fund discoveries.

In 690 (1310bc) to the creation of the city of Takir, that was today known as Nuchopolis (after the name change when Ching dynesty rised), Emperor Aldred Ching rised to throne at the age of 23. He was a smart ruler. He was the ruler that finished the Massilian wars in a diplomatic call to Massilia to surrender, as it did. He passed many levels in science and education and was known to be a gifted man. His young age brought him some troubles at the first year of ruling. The Elders of Takir tried to pass him in power over the country, they wanted an end for the empire, but he stopped them all and continued his rise. 10 years after his rise in 700 (1300BC) to the creation of Takir he saw an oppertunity in discovering new lands, new trade routes, new people. As a man that always wanted more knowledge, more education he saw the oppertunity of discovering and funding expeditions would only be good to him. He chose 3 of his most loyal advirsors and friends. Each agreed to go on a jurney first in the known areas and than into the unknown. Mai Sadi, Kio Turik and Alfred Mada were the 3 chosen people, and their families to become the discoverers of new lands for Takir.

The Sadi family, headed by Mai Sadi, a famouse trader into Austrian lands suggested they will take the way into the east. Rumors of a tribe named Hun interested them as they wished to see new trades in the east, further than Austria. They had many connections in Austria already and soon they manned their boats and moved itno the far east not knowing where they will get into.

The Turik family was a noble family in Vurucin that ones Massilia was conquered moved to Massilia by the request of Emperor Aldred Ching were known sea people. They were a Roman-Takirian merge family. They took the oppertunity to go West by ships and than east into the unknown lands of Egypt. Many said those lands are rich and creating an embasy in Egypt and beginnign trade would bring only good to Takir, and who was better than Kio Turik? the leader of the Turik family that was known to have connections with sailors from far in the sea. Soon after the request of Aldred the Turik family took control over 2 ships from the Takirian tiny navy and sailed.

Last but not least was Aldred closest friend. He was 23 years old to and knew Aldred since birth. Alfred Mada was close to the Ching family itself. His place of living was Vurucin. Aldred sent him with 3 Takirian ships into the far east by sea. After landing in the unknown lands of Cnaan (after ofcourse making contact with many others) they were ment to continue eastward.

the 3 expedition were told to return in atleast 50 years. They were asked to try not come befor. They were hoped to find lives in new lands to cotinue to expand forever the Takirian knowledge of the world. Each of the expeditions had an end with the sea movment so the ships would return soon to Takir, hopfully with messages from the 3 families that became heroes in Takir for their noble quest...

Map of each noble trip
 
-sheep, I must have missed them, I will do them tonight.
