stMinionNES2: Because it's tight like that

[das]

OOC: Okaaaaaaaaaay. But you tell me whom do I have contact with. Deal?

IC:

Warriors of Babylon and warriors of Assyria clashed in the Fertile Crescent. With bronze spears, with copper shields and armor, they clashed in a bloody battle. Assyrians came out victorious. But with more casualties. That was the nature of this war in the north, while the Sumerians advanced with little trouble in the south.

Shamshiadad sighed. Sumerians were doing far too good then he thought they will. Hopefully the Babylonians will be distracted by them now...

A messanger rushed to him at his camp.

"Shamshiadad, Son of the Gods and Ruler of the Assyrians!" - he yelled - "News came - the Babylonians are marching towards Nineveh!"

"What?" - Shamshiadad was confused, then angered. He never cared too much for Nineveh, but there were Assyrian people there. His people. - "How many?"

"Fifty men, oh King of Assyria!"

"Our new forces are to fight them off. Also we should train more warriors - we will need them now."

Orders:
- 100 men to attack Babylonians marching towards Nineveh. Tactics: split into four equal groups, one is to try and cut them off from Babylon, the rest are to help encircle them and then all are to charge. We will thus have both numerical and psychological advantage, as encircled enemies often fight worse.
- 100 men to continue to press on along the Tigris.
- Grow army.
- Continue wonder (4/6).

Timeline:

2900 B.C.

Chinese forces subjugate the surrounding Chinese tribes, some with diplomacy, some by force. Imperian army grows twice, and begins to conquer the surrounding lands. However due to the strain on economy, they almost get into recession. Japanese meet the Ainu barbarians, meanwhile they also start building their great temple. Assyrians meet Babylon, which falls into depression around this time, and the Sumerian city states. Minoan fleet appears, which establishes the colony of Troy in western Asia Minor. Followers of the Cross faith, the Crusaders, migrate from Italy to Gaul where they settle near Rhine. Calicutians also start grand expansion and first encounter elephants. Novgorodian, Muscovite and Kievan Rus start expanding quickly enough, though Muscovites are the fastest so far. They are also the first in the world to build roads. Ramses unites Egyptian kingdoms into one. British meet the Welsh and expand to several directions. Etruscan raids attack the territories of Rome.

2800 B.C.

Chinese tribes increase resistance to forceful unification, but to no avail. True diplomatic intrigue is born in Mesopotamia, as Assyria and Babylon negotiate their future border while Assyria first offers an alliance to Sumeria AGAINST Babylon. Nothing came out of it for the while, though king Ur-Naptal begisn a war to unite Sumeria, which should give him much power as each of the three Sumerian free cities is very developed. Imperians encounter Egypt and Babylon. Rise of civilization in the Middle East, influented by the many diverse and growing culturs of the region, stimulates the creation of new independant kingdoms and civilizations - Nabatea, Phoenica and Armenia. Second Minoan colony is built - Kyrennica in Africa, not far away from Egypt. Egyptians put down the Nomian rebellion. Hittites fail to conquer Trebizond, but score several victories near it. Gauls, original people of Gaul, collapse into numerous tribes, all rather hostile towards the Crusaders. Calicut becomes the largest country of the world. Romans defeat and expel Etruscans.

Rest comes later. Okay?

[North King]

Virjay was delighted at the prospect of tribute abounding, and that the war had gone so well. Also, good news came in the form that the Temple was almost done. This was a glorious time, and Calicut seemed to be in a golden age. He urged the wise men to try again to tame some elephants, and at the same time gave them more funding.

Calicut was in a golden Age, indeed, and would hopefully continue booming.


Orders:

Expand Education.

Expand in all directions.

Complete Wonder!! [dance] [dance]


Diplomacy:


To Sinhalese and Suparakans (seperately):

We thank you immensely! May Hinduism Unite!

To further this goal, would you like to unite with our nation? We shall fully accept your people as our citizens and will build an Empire to stand the Test of Time!



To the Northern Tribe (I'm assuming this was one of the ones that ate my envoys, if not, just take out the insulting parts and just offer a union):

We have spared you our wrath, and in our mercy, we will allow you this choice: Unite with us or die.

[Rika_Heyli]

Empress Hirohita smiled, nearly all of Honshu was hers. Soon the entire island chain would fly under her banner. But was the Japanese Army good enough? She would soon find out with her invasion of Shikoku or better known to the commoners as the small island to the south. Soon, those foolish ronin will taste the bronze of Japanese spears. However, good relations with Satsuma Shogunate and Hokkaido wouldn't hurt either.

Japanese Orders *secret*

-finish expansion of Honshu
-continue wonder
-increase economy by irragating the surrounding lands

To Satsuma Shogunate and Hokkaido
From Japan(Tokyo)

[Jason The King]

Russian expansion has reached its epitome. From the Lake Onega to the Don River to the south, Moscow's power was stable, was strong, was unbeatable. King Ivan VII, now ruler of the Russian domain, had a challenge to overcome though. Baltic tribes impaired the expansion of the Moscow nation in the north, and must be put in their place. However, leading such a campaign would be dangerous as it would leave the southern front nearly completely deserted. Therefore the King had to secure an alliance with the most powerful Ukrainings in the south.

To: Ukraine
From: The City of Russia

We wish for a defensive alliance to guard the civilized world from barbarian nations and herders. What say you?

ORDERS
Increase economy
Attack the northern tribe with 300 troops, push them back, and establish the fort of St. Petersburg on the Baltic coast.
100 men will retain the southern and middle border.

 

[Global Nexus]

The city of Tarsus was founded on the shore of the Northern Sea with multiple purposes, not the least of which was to create a new Hittite Navy. Minoa and Phoenicia were both major sea-goers, from everything that the people in Hatti knew, and it would be foolish to not have at least a small navy in case of tensions with the two civilizations.

Tarsus had grown prosperously for a good while. The land was better for food production than that around Hattusas, but it was less defensible. The coast provided a new source of food, as well -- fish. The Hittites had never eaten fish before, and it was quickly becoming a favorite amongst all classes of people.

A number of Trebizond slaves worked the fields and were slowly getting assimilated into the population by decree of Mursilis IX, who saw no reason to keep descendants of the barbarians in bondage. He claimed that criminals were the ones who should be punished -- and only the one who commited the crime should be punished, not his or her children or siblings. Benevolence had marked the latest King of Hatti's rule and he was widely becoming known as the "Good King" for his less-tyrannical rule.

Diplomacy:

To: Phoenicia
From: Hatti

Perhaps we should work out a border agreement in order to prevent possible disputes that could lead to unwanted wars in the future?

2) Expand to the west with 25 men.

3) Increase navy.

2700 BC

Chinese defeat all the neighbouring Chinese tribes. However, to their east and west, several tribes begun, under the influence of the Peking culture, to build their own cities. Japanese first discover that they live on an island and that there are small islands nearby to their main island. After a tribe to the north eats the Calicutan envoy, Calicut prepares to take action. Tribe to the south, however, joined Calicut. Just like in China, superior culture leads to the creation of Barbarian kingdoms. Great economy growth in Imperiam begins, while the expansion now controls all of the "Promised Land". Sumeria is finally united, and king Ur-Neptal agrees with Shamshiadad who promises him the city of Babylon to attack Babylonia. Continued rise of civilization in Middle East leads to the emergence of Medes and of Persia. Hittites defeat Trebizond and encounter Phoenicians and Armenians. Chariotry is discovered by Minoans, who colonize Cyprus as well. A war between Crusaders and Gauls begins, and nobody gains any advantage so far.

2600 B.C.

Peking Chinese reach the Yellow River. Other Chinese tribes create additional four independant kingdoms - Liaotung, Wuwei, Shu and Wu. Southern Japanese main island is now controlled by Japan. On the island to the south and the island to the north, Japanese encounter Satsuma and Hokkaido shogunates. Calicutans defeat the Northern barbarians in a glorious battle. Soon after, some of the nearby barbarian tribes start to pay tribute. Sumerians and Assyrians invade Babylon. While the former were unexpected and advanced with minimal casualties, in the north, Assyrians and Babylonians were engaged in a bloody battle. Hittites rebuild Trebizond as their own city. Libya, Bakkah and Nubia appears as the new Middle Eastern civilizations. The Alphabet reaches Minoa, leading to an increase in education. They also learn to ride horses. Crusaders attack Gauls with new strenght, invading their homelands. Many additional barbarian groups appear in Europe.

 

[Xen]

@das- in all of your histories, you make little mention of my empire, then minoan empire- why is that?- we're actually on of the more active empires here, advanceing technology- we've gotten chariots, and can even ride horses now-, we're colonizing the med. sea, and we control access to the eastern med because of it- my empire diserves far more credit then almost all the natiopns on the map so far, so why are you giving none to it?

 

[das]

Um... I DID mention it. You see, the timeline entries shouldn't be too long. I did mention that you ahve a fleet, built many colonies and have chariots. Look closer:
