From Eire
To Cantivelliaunii
Our military grows strong with each day as yours remains weak. This is our final proposal. Either join us in peace or be conquered in war. This is the limit of our compassion for you. If you choose the latter, we shall spare no mercy.
A heavy fog hung over the area as Faolán and his fellow clansman watched 470 new troops gather on the hill. The High Priest of the druids was standing in the center of the simplistic stone circle. Two subordinate druids walked toward the High Priest, one carrying a bowl of paints, the other carrying a dagger. 470 new troops looked on, waiting for their turn. The High Priest looked toward a soldier and beckoned him over. He took the soldiers arm in one hand and the dagger in another, with speed and precision he left a cut 6 inches long on the soldiers arm. The High Priest raised an empty bowl and allowed a small amount of blood to spill in. Than he took the paints and began decorating the soldiers face with designs of courage and stregth. When the High Priest was finished, the soldier walked and stood idlely, waiting for his commrads to have their turn.
Faolán watched on as the High Priest blessed all 470 troops with strength and courage from the gods. He knew that the Brits weren't going to be giving up their land to Eire anytime soon, the only way would be through war. The troops were now ready to fight all that Briton had to offer, and with the gods blessings they would win.

Didier briskly walked into the quaint temple, the guards opened the massive timber gates hastily as to avoid his anger, he was not one to anger.
Didier thought over what he was going to say to his master, How could we have not known the reason Beira had joined the Malagasy nation? Heads would roll," Didier shuddered, " that is if he was alive long enough to punish those responsible.
Didier knocked hesitantly on the ornate door, a voice replied from behind the door Didier, why was I not alerted of this Zulu nation? Didier hesitated, Gii-. Do not refer to me by my given name. You have proven yourself to be incompetent, redeem yourself now. Inform every family in the region that they must offer one member of their family to join the ranks of our army.
It will be done Didier sped off wondering how he would fight the unrest of taking 1125 men away from their familys.
Madagascar Orders
OOC: If im posting too many orders just tell me, I'm sorta getting into these NES's
Edit: just saw how much of Madagascar is not colonized, if you think its unrealistic to be able to expand that much in one "turn" just do as much as you see fit, Thanks.

Byzantine had expanded greatly, and Leo the Reformer had been recognized in history when the Greeks granted him a city named after him. His follower continued his line and as Byzantine expanded further into the east, where they faced a whole new thread: slavic barbarians, some of who refused to join the Empire when it spread further into the west.
During the times of these "Barbarian wars", as historians would later call them, the Greek and the Macedonian people living in Byzantine - same people who had established the great city named after emperor Leo - showed their importance in military warfare. They were a lot more familiar with these Slavs and knew how to deal with them; they knew that since slavic people used a lot of horsemen, improved bows were the way to go against them. They had even developed a bow far more advanced than what the Byzantians in the capital had used.
Once this slightly improved bow was brought to the city of Byzantine, great Byzantinian engineers constructed the greatest bow ever made by mankind using the greek version as a model and adding flexibility with careful mathematical calculations to make the bow have a longer range. Also bronze and silver strenghtnings were added to the bow itself, to make it more lethal.
Soon, a very specialized army of Macedonian Archers were created, and the barbarians shivered in fear - I mean those who refused to join under Byzantinian rule, in which case they were treated not as slaves, but as people.
***
Byzantine ORDERS:
-Start UU, Macedonian Archer, improved attack (see story).
-Continue expanding further into the west, to the territories of Slavic barbarians, using Macedonian Archers as main frontline troops. Some 300 "normal" fighters are to back them up in case barbarians show resistance.
-conquer the southern Greek peninsula, with force if they won't join the Empire peacefully.
-my people are to have sex more so the birth rates would increase. Give a speech condemning selibacy. I want more people to my nation.
-grow education.

Note to all:
I've edited the map so that the mistake I made of forgetting one of Nihon's expansion and forgetting Portugalia's city are both fixed and I altered the dark-colored nations to lighter colors so that cities will be more disinguishable. Also city dots have been reduced somewhat in size to allow for more open space for future cities.

I added some things in the Rules post on the front page. A few are actually things I've notified you about (the formula for military increases, for example).
To distinguish easily from the old stuff, I highlighted the additions in this color.
It would be prudent to check those things out.

Captain Fuyutsuki slumped down onto the deck and closed his eyes against the biting wind, clenching his teeth against the salty water carried on it. He hated this ocean training with all his being. But there was no defying the Emperor - he was the descendent of the Gods, and his will was theirs. He had to remain strong, had to stay in command; his honor depended on it. There was no such thing as losing face with honor, and out here, no land in sight, to lose face would shame his whole crew. He could not, nay, would not allow such a thing. Their honor and their lives rested upon his shoulders, and he would see them back home once more, just like the prior times. He knew that the other fourteen Captains all shared this thought.
They would return home, restock, and venture out again, perhaps a bit farther this time, perhaps not, it was always hard to tell. They were starting to learn though. The gulls knew where fish were, gave away the shifting eddies of the wind. The sun, of course, always went East to West. And at night there would be a star that always stayed still... that lay to the North. They had even developed a basic fire-based signaling system for communication between ships. They were making progress, at least, and that would please the Emperor and perhaps cease the endless questions of the scribes.
Fuyutsuki grimaced as another waved washed over the deck and fell over him. Serving the Emperor still didn't change the fact he hated his job, but at least he would hate it with pride.

Yeah, I will update tonight. I'm estimating about 7 hours for people who haven't already to get orders in.
I may NPC Babylononia since MjM posted something about PMs (about which I still don't know what he was talking about) but has yet to post either an elaboration on that PM issue and/or orders.
