-send LOTS OF settlers north protected by 200 men. colonise and claim the land
-send some settlers west protected by 100 men
 
To: Persia and Assyria
From: Babylon
Should we together create an alliance? We would stand strong together and could rule the known world. If you want you could create trade with Babylon as middleman. I promise both of you that such a trade route wouldn´t be broken unless something serious happened. It would bring even greater wealth to all of us.



The rise of Nebuchadnezzar

Babylon was now one of the greatest city in the known world. The new trade with Assyria and Persia had guaranteed a position as richest in the world. Right now however, there wasn´t much gold in the palace as it had been used for setting up safe trade routes across the desert. This would change within short though as the trade started to pay and the farmland and fishing along the 2 rivers gave fruit.
It was during this time that Babylon´s founder, Maxurabi I, died. His son, Nebuchadnezzar, became the new Emperor and in his installation speech to the people Nebuchadnezzar promised to continue to program started by his father - to make Babylon the top power of the world.

Alliance
Nebuchadnezzar met with the Emperors of Assyria and Persia only some weeks after his fathers death. Discussions of "A great and powerfull alliance!" started and trade was also brought up. So far nothing has been announced but the people are eagerly awaiting answer hoping for the best.

Economy
The new emperor was not troubled of the poor treasury that his father left him. Trade and new farming and fishing would guarantee a cash flow never seen before. Nebuchadnezzar promised the people that the treasury be filled up to the point "were new places to store the gold would be needed".

At the Cieftain meeting, the chiefs agreed to use the newly devolped Curraghs as a new type of ship in the navy. Soon many Viking Curraghs crossed the Denmark Strait to bring soldiers and goods to the Icelandic colony in Greenland. The way was a bit dangerous for he normal canoes and the sails of the Curraghs were more suited for ocean trips.

New UU: Viking Curragh

A small wooden boat with sails, capable of transporting a averange amount of men over the ocean. It´s main purpose is the discover new lands for the vikings to settle, but it is also able to capture smaller ships liek canoes, because of the superior speed and size.

Two men sat waiting in the dimly lit room. They tapped thier foot and fingers, waiting for the third man to arrive. Soon they heard foot tapping outside the room, an when the doors of the room were opened it revealed the third man.
"Ok now, lets get these talks started."

Icelanders build city in Greenland
Iceland has built a new city in their Greenland territory. This city ensures the survival of the settlemens in Greenland. Also, the Icelanders have expanded a bit along the coast, but the climate is much colder and harsh than on Iceland island, so they have not expanded far.

Mausoleum of Persepolis completed!
Sassanids have finally completed the Mausoleum of Persepolis. The dead previous Emperors of the Sassanids have been moved there. Thousands of Sassanids, especially peasants, have come to pay homage and are euphoric with their achievement! (+1 Morale)

Desert storms in the Nile River valley, in Egypt
Desert storms have slightly stopped Egyptian plans to expand. However they are not very big storms, so there is some limited expansion in a few areas here and there.

Explanation for the daylate post: I hit "submit post" last night for the update story. However, my internet conection cut off and apparently it didn't catch the update post. Also, sorry this is so extremely short but I coulnd't think of inovative ways to spin the events - it's just one of those days...

Volum, sorry, but no orders past the "starting update" post are accepted unless like 5 mins after i post "starting update". Regardless of the fact that you had a whole day's worth cushion cuz the update wasnt posted. Sorry, man but you had 2 whole days.
