German
The chief of Germany was very pleased. He had a huge army, a growing population, and lots of land. In fact he had so large of a population that he needed more food. So he intervened in his peoples lives. He took many people who were jobless and set up farms for them to run in the newly conquered land. He told all of them to spend 2/3 of their land on growing wheat. He then said the last 1/3 could be used in whatever they wanted.
The local farmers followed his plan and discovered many good things. The first thing many of them experimented with was a strange tree that grew strange red fruit. These could be eaten, and proved to taste very good. They decided to call the fruit apples. These would be a great crop.
Some farmers began experimenting in domesticating a purple berry that tribes south of them had shown them. These grew fairly well in the summer months and tasted great! The minor tribes to the south of them called them grapes. These would bring a larger variety to German food!
Some farmers somehow discovered that through a certain process they could use a fungus called yeast to make a strange but wonderful liquid from their crops. It brought happiness to the drinkers (even though this happiness may only be temporary). The farmers who made it were so pleased they brought the chief himself down to sample some! He loved it of course and made sure to spread the recipe. What a good way to keep the people happy with the kingdom! He thought.
These great new and organized farms produced an incredible amount of crops. They could even be considered a wonder of the world!
In the military sector of the tribe great things were occurring. The military was extremely motivated by the great things happening at home! The men had received this new liquid, called beer, in their rations. The moral soared.
There also was a new General rising in the armed forces. He was known as William Wallenhiem. He was loved and respected by all of the troops. He was a great organizer. He split the army up into 10 divisions of 200 people each. He armed 25 people in each of these divisions with bows and arrows. He then armed the rest of the people with a mix of spears, and a light sort of spear that was thrown for great effectiveness called Javelins. Every man besides the archers got a large shield. These would be effective in formation as the men interlock their shields to protect them while the archers would be behind the shields launching volleys, and the javelin throwers would throw their javelins. The spearmen would stick their spears through gaps in the shields. This was extremely effective, especially against the tribes that they had encountered so far who just used disorganized masses to fight. They had no chance.
The army was set to go out and use these new tactics to conquer vast landscapes around them! Half of the 2000 man army continued expanding west. While the other half began expanding from Brandenburg to the Southeast. They hoped to be able to travel fast by awing the tribesmen with their organization and technology. They also would share the wonderful technology of beer with any who surrendered and joined them peacefully
