To Cannan and Persia
From Akkadia

Nineveh is the ancient capital of the Assyrians. I think a better name would be the Tigirs Alliance. A better name for all.

 

[Constantine]

To Cannan, Akkadia
From Persia

The Middle Alliance?

To Cannan and Persia
From Akkadia

I agree with Persian sentiments on the name, it is suitable. Let our three nations prosper with our military strength, our enlightened education and our superior methods of trade and diplomacy!

stJNESX: From Bad to Good
Update 14: 600bce​

Baalism finishes its expansion into Turkey, the whole empire of Ankara is taken in by this religion, as the people loose faith in their polytheistic gods. As a result, more order and unity spreads throughout the Middle East, as every country is now a part of one of two growing, spiritual religions. While still overshadowed by Revivalism, Baalism is growing quickly, perhaps faster then even Revivalism, since the latter can’t seem to make an impression overseas as Baalism is already practiced deeply in Cyprus, Minoa, and the Athenian Empire, though it still remains the minority religion in these regions. Meanwhile, Revivalism is spreading quickly in Persia.

As a new High Priest takes head of the Revivalism religion in Thebes, Egypt, he initiates a new mandate that the religion is now to be left without the Egyptian part of it, now to be addressed as Revivalism only. This is to represent the whole of the people that now practice the religion, not just Egyptians.

Merchant House System is established in Canaan, limiting the King’s control over the nation’s trade, and thus leading to extreme competition between the merchants, and thus in increase of trade and lowering of prices. However, the tariff for economical purposes is still in place, and the trade is limiting Canaanite internal development of resources. Exploration galleys are sent out by Canaan, and are never seen again.

Kievich, the newly developed language in Kiev replaces the old pictogram writing system, and now competes with the major languages and writing systems of the Middle East and Takir. Consisting of thirty letters, with vowels, to some the language is considered the most complex as well.

The Iroquois invade Pictland. Landing with an army of nearly 2,000 men, the Iroquois advance by foot, with guns, and the Picts rush to the north to defend their homeland. However, it is to no avail, the Picts have been taken by surprise, and their army wiped out.

Large ships are designed by the Takirans, known as Caravels. They can hold nearly five times the amount of men and weight as normal galleys, and use the power of the wind, harnessed by the sail, to propel them.

Meanwhile, the Angles and Takirans co-invade southern Pictland, formerly Angleland, fighting most the populations in the cities rather then whole armies, as the Picts had called everything north to combat the Iroquois. Expecting a triumphant return, the Angles are left with feeling like invaders rather then liberators as the population barely resembles anything Angle.

The Minoans finally fall to their rivals, the Cypriots, after centuries of war. The longest war in history is finally over, with a Cypriot victory, and the soldiers return home to a proud population.

The Battle of Bella, Persian and Akkadian forces vs. Gujarati and Dravidian forces

It was the most decisive, most enthusiastic, largest and most glorified battle that ever took place in the world to the date. Persian General Darius goes head to head with the Gujarati King, Skandagupta, and his fervent army. Darius first led the invasion, heading straight through the rebellious provinces and into the Indus Valley of Gujarat. Skandagupta responded with a head on attack, to intercept the invading forces and annihilate them. Unfortunately, the largest mistake was not stopping the invaders at the river. Instead, the battle was fought overland, with the Gujarati at a severe numerical disadvantage.

It was 10:00 AM in the morning with the two forces met. Darius commanded a larger swordsmen, chariot, and cavalry force, while Skandagupta had command of more clubmen, archers, and spearmen. The numbers were nearly equal.

Darius was first to send his forces. Crossing over the grassy lands, they fell easily to booby traps and caltrops, which greatly affected the troops and their moral. At the same time, Skandagupta gave order for the huge amount of archers, nearly eight hundred in all, to open fire upon the slowed forces. Weakening and evening out the numbers, he then ordered an advance with spearmen. At this point, Darius surprisingly withdrew his forces, and swung his cavalry around the battlefield to attack the rear of the spearmen column. Unnoticed to him was the huge swordsmen reserve that was stationed behind the spearmen. Not affective against chariots and horsemen, the swordsmen only delayed the slaughter until the spearmen could make an about face, and then Skandagupta sent his chariot forces to take care of the rest of Darius’s men on the field with the caltrops. Angered, Darius quickly drew his horsemen and chariots into formation again, giving Skandagupta a chance to also regroup his swordsmen, refortifying them on the flanks and behind the spearmen, while the archers remain on the sides, continuing to fire into the horsemen and cavalry column. Darius charged, aiming to piece the spearmen. And pierce he did, however, as soon as the forces were in, Skandagupta ordered the swordsmen from the sides to envelop Darius, and surround his forces. The battle was over, Gujarat had won. Darius is held in captive, as much of his forces retreat. The Persian supply route was also cut by the Vishnu Warriors, a huge impact in the battle and a reason for the poor performance of some of the elite forces of Persia and Akkadia, as they had to repair weapons on site (they had food, since most of it comes from the Indus Valley anyways).

Gujarati forces, in coordinance with militia forces funded for and raised by Gujarati economy, continue to advance into the Persian Indus Valley, welcomed with parades by the people.

Losses:
Dravidian – 1,000 swordsmen, 150 chariots
Gujarat – 1,000 swordsmen, 150 clubmen, 100 archers, 100 spearmen
Akkadian – 1,000 swordsmen, 230 charioteers
Persian – 2,300 swordsmen, 50 archers, 100 spearmen, 50 horsemen, 400 Royal Cavalry.

Chinese scholars make a major breakthrough in creating a light, yet strong iron suite made of small rings intertwined, the armor is known as ring mail. Meanwhile, increased trade using the roads and river as routes, has wielded a huge amount of profits for the inner Chinese nation.

Jason

 

[Sheep]

Jason did you even read my orders. I was not goiung overland at all I ask for you to re-read my PM and redo the damn ****ing battle.

 

[Sheep]

To My Revialist Brothers
From Akkadia

I ask you all to join in the Revialist Alliance. While this will not prevent any nation from purusing other alliances and treaties it will ensure that an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us!

 

[Sheep]

To Persia
From Akkadia

If you coverted your national relgion to Revialism we would be able to secure the support of all Revialist nations from Persia to Carthrage. This would ensure our victory and Revialist dominon over India.

Build some more temples.

The galleys entered Sidon at morning, and immidiately, General Irenar disembarked from his galley and onto the dock. He was greeted by a cheering crowd, and was followed by his army into the city. A few hours later, the army marched out of the city. It marched through Canaan towards the agricultural Haisha. From there, to Akkadia. And from there, to faces the Gujarati armies.

OOC: Jason, is the militia counted in my stats now, and if not, will it wtill be there after the war? And thanks for the update's fairness and balancedness, that was I think the best you could have done, even if I am a bit purturbed at losing a few thousand men, I understand.

 

[Cuivienen]

Darn, I was going to send orders this evening. Oh well.
