The Empire of Takir

"My Emperor, Paris is too hard to take. e must regroup and the soldeirs are getting bored, they already assulted the walls twice without command!".
"I know. We have already talked with Gaul leaders, peace has been signed 2 hours ago. the soldeirs can pack and come back to Takir. We now will create our control over the new lands. Also the Angles want us to hurry, soon the Pictish war will come..."
"Yes sir! I shall take the command of retreate from Paris immidietly."


Peace was signed with Gaul. Most lands were taken but Paris was a hard nut to crack and the Emperor decided this war have done what it was made to do. The soldeirs were now more trained, harder, they could soon bring the Angle tribe dreams fullfilled. Now Takir will regrow it's own economy out of the conquered provinces and will create a navy.

But not all was peacfull, the Kingdom of Sardinia and Corsica invaded Salento south to Takir. The Kingdom was the left overs of the Massilian Kingdom that Takir conquered 70 years ago. Probably they dual kingdom had much agaisnt Takir and the EMpire could not let them grow too strong and espaicaly not take lands near Takir that could easily be used as an invasion force! Takir decided to use diplomacy to fix this problem they encoutered.

In Austria, the friends of Takir also bad was proovince to rule. A general in the Austrian army rised and planned to declear himself King of Austria! If he would make his plans Takir could loose an important ally in the east... Maybe even risk itself in war against the Austrian friends! Diplomacy had to be used to fix this problem.

In the Further east on the continent the bulgars created a magnifisant and huge army. Such an army can't be used only to quole resistance in Macedonia. The Takirian Emperor was not very carrying about this but the Bulgars were a threat to Takir hagmony, espaicaly if they decide to ivnade Austria and move westward towards Takir...

to Austria:
What is going on there? Need help with that General?

to Austrian General: SECRET
What is going on there? If you do take Austria, what shall the reletions between Austria and Takir shall be?

to Dual Kingdom of Sardinia and Corsica:
I hope Salento was fun as we supose the game have ended. Why won't you take your men back home? They look tired.

to Bulgars:
Nice army you got there? Can we be informed of soem of your plans? We hope our roads will never clash.

The Austrian Empire

Caprivi And The War Of Succession
Enmperor Amadues was a dieing man. Suffering from a severe unknown illness he weas forced to accept that he could no longer lead Austria. On the 10th October 981bce he called a meeting of all the nobles in Austria to choose a successor. It was widely assumed among the lords that Caprivi, the Emperor's nephew and chief advisor, would be chosen as the new Emperor.
Caprivi had large support from many of the nobles in Austria, he was the one they knew was really behind the current strength of Austria and not Amadeus who preffered to spend his time in his opulent palaces in Vienna and on the Adriatic coast.
The Lords already felt certain that Caprivi was to be announced as Amadeus' successor. Although Amadeus once again proved his poor decision making ability and shocked the Austrain nobles by naming his son, Prince Georg, as his successor. The decision rocked Caprivi who had been absolutely convinced that he would be the Emperor. Georg, like his father, knew nothing about running an Empire and was much more concerned with feeding his own extravagent lifestyle. Caprivi was outraged.

Upon the death of Amadeus two weeks later, Georg was crowned Emperor of Austria. For many of the nobles a feeling of dread set in, they knew that with such a fool in charge of the nation it would surely only collapse with such powerful neighbours surrrounding. But what could they do, it was against the laws of nature to overthrow an Emperor, and besides with his powerful army Georg was virtually untouchable.

Caprivi though did not fear Georg's army for he knew that many of his General's would more than happily see the back of him. After many months of political wheeling and dealing Caprivi was able to raise an army and prepared to march on Vienna. But Caprivi knew that even with his powerful army he would not be able to win without the support of General Moltke. Moltke was the commander of the legendary Artemic legion, the deadliest fighters in Austria, he had long been a close friend of Amadeus. Caprivi long assumed that Moltke would support Amadeus' choice of Georg to be Emperor and spent many months planning on how to remove the threat of Moltke. Although unknown to him Moltke was infuriated by the choice of Georg as Emperor and it was not until a chance conversation between Caprivi and Lord Helmuth that he found out this priceless piece of information. Caprivi immediatly contacted Moltke and arranged a meeting. Moltke refused to participate in a revolution as it was strictly against his code of conduct as General of the Artemic Warriors, but he did hint that should such a move take place he would stall his troops for as long as neccessary.

This was all the news Caprivi needed and immediatly he began the march on Vienna. The Lords of Austria soon joined Caprivi in his army and Georg was surrounded. He called upon the Artemic legions but they were many miles away on the other side of Austria and would not reach the Emperor in time. Georg admitted defeat, he immediately signed his resignation from the throne of Austria and announced Caprivi as his successor.

It was a bloodless coup that would change the face of Austrian politics for many years to come...

To: Takir
From: Austria
Our friendship stands as before.
Yours,
Emperor Caprivi II of Austria

Orders:

• Open a trade route with Cyprus

So, what is the most dominant religion in Canaan now?

You forgot to update the historic moments and timeline. You also forgot to tell me whether or not I have contact with Taikir after Erez's expedition. And furthermore, shouldn't I have a stat indicating that I have stockpiled iron?

-Dominant religion is Baalism still.
-I havn't updated timeline and historic moments section for a while. I will soon get back on it.
-You do have contact, but it is not a strong one. Consider it like Rome-India.
-You are not creating enough surplus iron to have a stockpile.

The Su Li Familiy

In 1080BC the 3 ancient explorers family have fully merged thanks to the marrige of Jane Turik, doughter of Ano Turik and Mai Mada, to Jochi Sadi. This merge of 3 families that live in 4 diffren't countries, Takir, Egypt, Canaan and Austria brought the 3 families to think of a new name for all to come.

The Voyage of the Sea Swallow

After the arrival of Alfred Mada of Takirland in Paphos in 1100bce, the Cypriots were obessed by fables of the lands to the west. Tales of Gigantic Empires, bigger then Canaan or even Akkidia, armies of more then five thousand men and cities made of sheer gold plagued the dreams of the Kings of Cyprus. Soon the construction of a ship was started, a ship that should sail the most dangerous oceans of the world, a ship that should never ever break, a ship faster then the seagull. The best shipbuilders of Paphos were ordered on the construction.

Soon the ship was finished and in a big ceremony it was blessed by the gods. Oddysius, an famous seafarer of Phoenician descendence, was made the captain of the ship and with him he took allmost two dozen sailors. On the morning of the start of the voyage a lonely sea swallow was flieing over the ocean and therefore the ship was dubbed Sea Swallow.

Many tears were shed by the relatives of the sailors. The women knew that they might never see their darlings again and the children would grow up without a father. One last time the priests mollified the gods of the sea and winds and then the ship left the harbor with a mild breeze. On their way they would visit lands only few Cypriots had seen before. The Egypt, Greece and many other faboulous lands were on their route. Oddysius would write down everything they experienced and they would try to make new contacts and find unknown lands. My the gods be with them!

Cypriot Orders

-Grow economy
-Finnish Wonder!
-Gather enough supplies to supply the entire army and navy for 2 years
-Continue training the army in an ship-to-ship, ship-to-land and land-to-ship combat
-Keep away any missionareys
-Start a exploration as in the story

stJNESX: From Bad to Good
Update 12: 900bce​

The dungeon prison at Tyre has been expanded to hold the tax evading merchants of Canaan who have been making much money from the Jericho grain trade. The whole city of Tyre, though, protests the construction of such a prison in their city, and wishes for it to be placed somewhere away from the civilians and children, perhaps in a desert somewhere.

Baalism is continually expanding, including reaching the fabled and, to many, the barbaric lands of the Scythians. Here, the religion is like wildfire, and sweeps across the nation, soon becoming the dominant religion. Many Scythians migrate to Canaan as well, wanting to see the place of which Baalism originated from.

A massive stone wall is constructed in the southern desert, on the eastern side of the Sinai Peninsula, to guard against an Egyptian attack. Thousands of Anatolian slaves were used to construct the wall, and is one of the most astounding structures in the world.

A large Canaanite expedition embarks from Eliat, and heads south along the Red Sea coast, eventually making landfall in a small cove, and sets up a small settlement which they call Yamion. Here they promote trade, and is another location for the grain of Haisha to be exported too, though the route is not yet set up. Meanwhile, the city is under constant threat from the northern barbarians, but friendship has been struck with the southern peoples, the Somali. Continuing on, the expedition lands and claims the nearly empty island of Soccotra, and finally ends its journey in Ur. Such a magnificent feat has led to the increase of knowledge of the sea, and problem solving techniques, raising the education.

As connections with the High Priest in Egypt are broken, the Akkadian monarch continuing to support Akkadian Rivivalism, and with the continued war against fellow Revivalists, people flock to Egypt to join arms, and possibly march against Akkadia.

Meanwhile, the Akkadians continue to successfully war against the Saracen Empire. The captured King is given a choice: become the governor of the Prince of Saracenia, or be tortured, sign a surrender, and then die. He has chosen neither. Instead, the King was found, hung, in his jail quarter. Meanwhile, the retreating Saracen forces have begun a scorched earth policy, making it ever difficult for the Akkadians to follow them into the Arabian desert.

Casualties:
Akkadians – 150 clubmen, 100 swordsmen, 100 charioteers, 150 archers
Saracens – 300 swordsmen, 50 clubmen, 50 chariots

Huge parades are held throughout Gaul as the people boast about their ability to survive and prevent a full Takiran invasion. Huge numbers flock to the army, prepared to defend their country and win against any invader, now that they defeated the Takirans.

Meanwhile, rebellions in the conquered area of Gaul pick up, as the parades are held in the north. People all over, especially in the new city constructed, take up arms against the Takiran occupiers. It is of good strategy that the Takirans stationed most of the army here, or else the whole country would have thrown them out. It does take its toll on the Takiran forces, though.

Casualties:
Takiran – 100 Legions

A deadly coup replaces an incompetent ruler with a widely-supported one in Austria, but before it happens, a large battle takes place between those loyal and those who are with the soon-to-be-king, Caprivi. The battle swings almost entirely to the favor of Caprivi and his rebelling soldiers, and soon the palace lay in his hands.

Casualties:
Austrians – 500 swordsmen

Vikings finally open up extensive trade with the Novgorodians, increasing the Novgorodian economy drastically.

The Harbor of Paphos is finally complete, after centuries of work, in Cyprus. Such a harbor has increased the naval ability of the island far ahead of any of those in the world, and the Cypriots now are in control of the largest navy – by far – the world has ever seen. Meanwhile, a Cypriot explorer by the name of Oddysios, has explored the entire Mediterranean sea, and brings back to Cyprus the most detailed maps of the sea ever created.

Sardinian, Takiran, and Salento forces clash at the Battle of Naples, where the Sardinians attempt to strike northward. The battle progresses, with Sardinian numerical superiority, until the Ching guard arrives on the scene, which pushes the Sardinians back and gives the victory to Takir. However, the southern reaches of Salento have been annexed, and Salento forces are exhausted.

Casualties:
Takir – 400 swordsmen, 50 Ching Guard
Sardinian – 50 archers, 100 spearmen, 200 swordsmen
Salento – 50 chariots

Meanwhile, adhering to their alliance, Balearic forces strike into the Roman province of Takir, avoiding the heavily garrisoned Gaul province. The Balearic force has cut off all connections between Takir and Rome. So far, no confrontation between the armies has been made.

Cities pop up all around the globe as more and more people become merchants then farmers, and blacksmiths before fishermen. The increase of population is also to blame for the rapid urbanization.

The Nioun, after a short civil war, has fallen. In its wake rises the Empire of Ankara, the most powerful province.

a BIG OOC:
Why the hell am I in depression?! I just grown economy...
And what alliance Balerics and Corsica had?

EDIT:

I only begun to rent!
Why Gaul got, not 200, not 400 about 700 new men in the army. For such a small country they seems to have a very high population... I kinda wonder how can they keep this army alive with so few left to take care of the economy. But than again about 700 new men but nothing happand to eocnomy, amazing!

How many troops Balerics has in Rome? I think thats somthing I should know if their in my country
