Update 6 - 1900 BCE
The Rise of Nations finally comes to a close
Europe Balticum
Asia - Irkutsk
The advent of these 2 nations the smallest batch of spontaneous centralization of tribes into kingdoms and empires brings to an end the 600 year long period of the Rise of Nations. No longer will new empires form independent of events and already-existing empires in the area. And if they form independently, it will no longer be in groups.
The West Tatars have begun to organize around the new nation of Irkutsk, on the shores of the Baikal Lake. Small skirmishes have already occurred at the Irkutsk-Tataria border, and the East and West Tatars that havent joined either of these Khanates yet are in full-fledged war with each other.
Yerevan was captured by the Georgians
but too easily
As the Georgians entered the city, a group of Armenians warned them about the Babylonian plan to burn the city and ambush the liberating armies. So, the Georgians withdraw from Yerevan and attack the Babylonians west of the city with their full force, much to the surprise and chagrin of the Babylonians, who expected to see the city burn and to just have to pick off scattered and traumatized survivors. An attempt to, in vengeance, set the city on fire anyway is thwarted as well by mobs in Yerevan, and quick action by the tribespeople to put out whatever fires may have been ignited already.
With some losses inflicted by the Babylonians, the Georgians nevertheless gain the upper hand. The timely arrival of Azeri troops who dashed through the land between Azerbaijan and Yerevan allowed the Armenian Alliance to get the Babylonians in a pincer. The Babylonian survivors flee south of the city, crushed completely and demoralized, and the Armenians cross into Yerevan as worthy victors, to the cheers of the citys populace.

Yuhah continues to spread across Afghanistan. Only the westernmost provinces, centered around the capital, Kabul, are still non-Yuhah in the land of the Afghani Confederacy.
The Great Ruling Council, in a panic, has agreed to peace with Muscovy, ceding the Karjalgrad Territory to the Muscovites. Another clause of the Treaty of Karjalgrad assures a Non-Aggression Pact to last between the two nations for a period of 10 turns, after which it may be either renewed or turned into a MPP.
Again, the Muscovites rejoice the victory and Muscovites swarm into Karjalgrad to offset the local Slavs who had initially pledged loyalty to Sinimustvalge Karjal.
The Karjalian capital, meanwhile, continues to be in an uproar. Food shortages have intensified protests by the commoners against the Great Ruling Council, and though they wanted the Council to end the war, they see the surrender of Karjalgrad as betrayal. They want blood now!
MUSCOVY: Confidence +1
SINIMUSTVALGE KARJAL: Confidence -1
Austria, Breslau, and Slovakia have signed the Slavo-German Pact a MPP, with Breslau as its leader because of its Slavic and German composition, which assists in mediating any differences Austria and Slovakia may have had.
A skirmish has occurred on the Slovak-Dacian border. Despite the NAP
Why? And why were there men present on the Dacian side that did not speak a word of their language?
Despite brave resistance, Sydney has fallen to the Brisbane League. In the newly-conquered lands, the Brisbane soldiers have slaughtered any non-military opposition.

Broken completely, the Cantivelliaunnians offer almost no resistance any more and London falls relatively peacefully. Britain is now Irish.
Expanding on this success, the Irish sail into Frankish territories and establish a colony.
In addition, the Eire also sails further out and gains contact with France, Portugalia, Belgium, Norway, Brandenburg, and the Gutan Empire.
An attempt to disband a Zoroastrian service by the High Priests loyalist troops immediately escalated to violence, in which 30 of the 47 Zoroastrians present died.
This provoked an armed uprising by the Zoroastrians against the government. Most of the Army also being Zoroastrian now, the government of the pagans has fallen quickly. In its place, the secular leader of the Zoroastrian Revolution, Darius, is accepted as Emperor of Persia.
PERSIA: Government change to Despotism; Confidence +1
Zoroastrianism has also begun to attract some people in eastern Babylononia.
Nihon continues to explore and expand, explore and expand, in their region of east Asia.

Symphony, your economy level dropped cuz u had 4 econ points to spend; you wanted to spend 6. You got the economy bonuses from trade the PREVIOUS turn.
Sheep, please specify BY HOW MUCH you are increasing your army and do the calculations, as it says in the rules. Just saying increase army is not specific enough and next time I wont do it at all, not to be spiteful but to save myself the calculation.
