I hope I won't be right for long!
UPDATE 6 - 3400 B.C.
The people of the Mauryan Empire begin to grow rich off of a recently constructed trade route with Tibet and are happy. Due to a break in communications, a larger than planned force invades the Eastern barbarian tribe, nearly annhialating them.
In Germany, the Germans cross the border into Bohemia. The Bohemians, who had been panicking over prophecies of a Polish soothsayer had assembled mediocore defences, but nothing to stop the German onsluaght. The Frankreich refuses to become part of Germany, but offers a different proposal.
In Poland, the abovementioned soothsayer grows popular. More importantly are queer doings of the Polish goverment. The Poles have now almost completely surrounded Lithuania, both on land and on sea. The Lithuanians continue to increase their army cautiously, but have no idea that the recent uprisings in the South are anything more than a peasents revolt.
In Mongolia, the Mongols start a new wonder in their capital. In the outlying regions, the enemy barbarians fail to unify and quickly fall to the Mongols at an unprecedented pace.
In Greece, a political murder results in the rise of Philip to the throne. He quickly improves infrastructure in the nation, and increases the economy. Crete is now fully under the control of Athens, who otherwise lais dormant as it's neighbors expand.
Babylon's king converts to Judaism, which causes a scandal throughout the kingdom. Near Babylon many follow his example, but to the North in lands near Assyria, loyal worshipers of the ancient gods rebel and join Assyria, which declares war on Babylon.
Lydia goes broke, but this is offset by the completion of it's naval academy. The Lydian navy becomes the most feared in it's world. It's army, a force to be reckoned with, puts down two minor barbarian revolts.
Japan continues to thrive. The gods don't understand all the complicated place-names involved in the Shogun's orders, so the Japanese just end up invading everything in sight. They also settle two cities in the North.
Upper Egypt expands, far more than before due to the wheel. To the North, relations are back to normal with Lower Egypt, even though the border populaces are less than trusting of each other.
After a brief offensive, Israel controls the Sinai. This sets up a border with Lower Egypt who welcomes it's new neighbors. Roads are completed between Jericho and Tyre, boosting the trade route between the two nations.
The berbers increase economy by selling their few villages to the surrounding tribes and move Eastward towards Carthage. They make good ground but only because it's relatively flat and unhospitable.
The people of Brunei grow to be renown as mystics throughout the great island. Their king is slowly beginning to make them into a powerful kingdom, as they expand allong the coast of the isle, and establish the city of Sibu.
In Australia, the local civilization offers it's barbarian neighbors the opportunity to join them. Amazed by such civilized arts as writing, one of the tribes does, but the other two unite and vow to halt any further Aborigenee advance.
The srivijayan advance into Majapahit lands continues without mercy. The local populations are dragged off to Srivijayan lands for the king to do with them as they wish. The armies of the Majapahit are suffering major casualties at the hands of the superior Srivijayan forces.
The Khmer construct the city of Krung Thep in their Western lands. This greatly relieves the overcrowding of Angkor and the surrounding villages. Meanwhile, Khmer armies rush into the Mon lands, and begin their assault along with their Siamese neighbors.
The Romans make a final assault onto the Lombards, and finaly defeat their century-long enemies. There is much celebration in Rome as the Romans find themselves more powerful than ever before.
The Irish start a great wonder in the newly constructed town of Boru. It is said that upon it's completion they will be the most powerful kingdom in all the isles.
The Kievan Rus begins to worry when the Huns don't answer their messanger. In fact the messanger reports that the Huns seem to be readying themselves for war. Kievan armies are mobilized... but nobody can find the huns, who seem to have dissapeared. Days later, the report of a suspicious caravan of peasents reaches the king, and his armies go out to meet it. A great battle ensues, where the warlike Huns manage to defeat the smaller Kievan force. The Kievan Rus retreat, leaving part of their country to the mercy of the huns.

From Frankreich
To Germany
We could not agree to that, but reestablishing an alliance and mutual protection pact would be good. I would offer you a marriage, but right now we both only have male offspring. Maybe later.
From Majapahit
To Srivijaya
We offer you peace in the form of 3 economy levels.
From Mon
To Siam and Khmer
We shall never forget this.
From Kievan Rus
To Huns
Please! Just leave our country alone and we will give you whatever sum of gold you want!
