Irish Orders
1. Send 5 ships and 100 troops to aquire the Isle of Man (the one between Ireland and Briton)
2. Have 120 troops expand south, 130 expand west, 50 expand north, and 80 expand northwest, all establishing new settlements. Remaining 120 are guarding Dublin.
3. Grow the economy (currently stable at 3/3/4)

Sorry, but I wanted to add some things.

4. Send 8 ships to establish contact with the French.
5. Send 7 ships to scout the west coast of the British Isle.
 
You can add or edit your orders any time prior to update. When you do so, though, I would appreciate it if you could just edit the post that you wrote your original orders in, rather than making a separate post with the new addition. Same if you PM orders - if you make any changes or additions, don't just PM the new addition, put the full revised orders in the message.
Thank you.
I currently have 6 out of 14. Update will not be tonight unless I get at least 5 more players' orders. However, it will be tomorrow whether I will get the missing orders or not.
 
Actually update will be tomorrow, since my sister will have to use the net for some scholarship stuff. And it will give people more time to send orders, anyway.

Update 3 - 2200 BCE

More nations have formed around the world:
North America - Iroquois Confederacy and Illinois.
Europe - Brandenburg, Kiev, Byzantium, and Muscovy;
Asia - Persia, Yemen, Uzbekistan, Beijing, and Shanghai;
Australia - Perth
Africa - Zambia, Lesotho, Tripoli, and Benghazi
South America - Manaus and Suriname

The war between the Armenian barbarians and the Babylonians continues. At Yerevan, the Armenian warlords managed to inflict casualties upon the Babylonians, and it almost seemed that the Armenians in Yerevan would remain free of outside control. However, the Babylonian Guards, an elite new unit, arrived and slaughtered the Armenians. The Battle of Yerevan has been won by Babylonia, and thus so has the town of Yerevan.
Babylononia: -100 troops

Slavic tribes just south of Karjal have abandoned their nomadic ways and have joined Sinimustvalge Karjal, adding the new town of Karjalgrad - named by these Slavs - to the empire of Sinimustvalge Karjal.

Having heard rumors of a civilization similar to theirs, some Gaels from Scotland have ventured down in primitive sails down to Eire. They have joined the Eire, giving Dublin control of a small slip of coast in Scotland and the several islands just north of the region. Members of the Irish Tribunal of Clans have begun talking about building a new port town in northern Eire to facilitate further colonization of this Scotland, as well as easier communication between the Scots and the Irish.

Seeing Malagasy sailors pass near their coasts, the tribe of the Beira settlement have called the sailors to the beaches and indicated their desire to join Malagasy for fear of the Zulu warriors approaching from the south. Malagasy has gained the town of Beira as a colony on the large land of Africa.
Meanwhile back in Malagasy, the Toliara Harbor has begun being built, to facilitate easier communications between Toliara and Beira (It will increase economy and population).

The Kyoto Urbanization project has begun in Kyoto, capital of Nihon. It will increase splendor of the capital and make it more attractive. Though the Nihonese do not know this, a very similar project is under construction in Fuzhou. (The Kyoto Urbanization will increase Culture and Confidence by 1 as well as make the Nihonese religion more attractive and popular).

A series of battles has broken out between the Tatars and the Mongols, the Tatars taking advantage of recent infighting between the ruling clans at Ulan Ude. Battered by internal war as well as the might of the Tatars, much of the Mongol army has succumbed, and Ulan Ude has found itself surrounded by the Tatars who have occupied the rest of the Mongol Confederacy.
MONGOL CONFEDERACY: -20 ships, 400 troops, -1 Confidence

As Fudge Pakistan continues to just increase their infrastrucutre, Afghanistan expands among the Pashtuns with neckbreaking speed. Already the Afghanis have reached the western bank of the Indus, having had conqured smaller tribes either through the latter's peaceful cooperation or through forced assimilation. Though Fudge Pakia has increased somewhat in prosperity, none of the Pashtun tribes nearby respect it enough to actually ally with it. How long will the fudge package ignore the rise of the Afghanis and their threat to Fudge domination of the Indus River?

Sydney and Brisbane continue to expand towards each other and preparing for a showdown for control of the eastern coast Aborigines. More and more tribes are forced to choose one side over the other, as neutrality is quickly fading into an impossibility. Each empire sends the same message: Join us or die! What choice is there but to join and survive?

In Fuzhou, a new coinage system has been created. It has bolstered the economy of the Fuzhou and it looks like the old barter trade may soon be ending as the coins gradually come into circulation among merchants.
FUZHOU: +1 Economy Point

Story Bonuses
IRELAND: +1 Confidence

New Contacts
Babylononia and Israel

NPC Diplomacy
From Israel
To Babylononia:
NAP?

DACIA AND BYZANTIUM HAVE SIGNED A NAP.

BEIJING AND KOREA HAVE SIGNED A NAP.

From Beijing
To Nihon:
NAP?

From Benghazi
To Mamelukes:
Expand east of the Nile and you will suffer.

From Muscovy
To Sinimustvalge Karjal:
Karjalgrad belongs to us. Relinquish control of these Slavs or you will have us to deal with!

From Shanghai
To Fuzhou:
NAP?

OOC
Again no orders from Contempt, Jason the King, and North King. Their countries (Mongolia, Portugalia, and Cantivelliaunii) will be made NPC next turn and will suffer some drops unless they return AND actually write orders. Mongolia can still be saved, Contempt, if you get back!

Also no orders from Kejixu and Amon Savag. Don't know if Amon doesn't like my request for a story or standardization of his government, but if in the upcoming two updates he does not do orders, Fudge Pakia will be made NPC as well.

Feel free to establish your own cities, and give them names. I will try to remember which cities are which ;). They can give you better population increases. However, if there is overcrowding they can start diseases as well. And for now, there is still mostly agrarian economies and societies, so if you just make cities at like every single spot in your respective nations, your economy will drop.

Culture and confidence CANNOT be increased by using economy. You gotta do something - write stories and/or build temples and libraries and schools and yada-yada.

Also, education cannot be increased by 2 in one turn. No matter how much money, for now, education can only be increased by 1 per turn.

To: Beijing
From: Nihon

We agree to a NAP with Beijing - we have no ambitions on the mainland currently.

Kamilian: Did I not claim the islands between Korea and Japan? It was in the orders to land soldiers on them. Also, did I find Okinawa? Basically, do I at least know it's there?
 
From: Mamelukes
To: Benghazi

We will do as we please. Deal with it.
 
Symphony: My bad, will be fixed on the map. And no, you made it halfway, around to where the northernmost part of Amami-Shoto island is (it's not visible on the NES world map, but on your map that you put a link to, it is).
North King: Oh well sux to see you go.
blackheart: In some cases, no news is good news ;)

From Benghazi
To Mamelukes:
Fools! You want war? You got it!
 
Damn it all, just after I got my computer back, you already updated!
