OOC: You said that the Mesopotamia states have 1000 spearmen and 500 archers each. I assume you mean 1000 warriors, right, given that only the Greeks, Etruscans, and Indians have spearmen?

OOC: No, everyone can get spearmen, but few have them. Mesopotamia happens to be an exception.

That will be our pleasure.

Wait, the small states have them, but Babylon, Medea and Assyria don't?
Now I have to completely rewrite the PM I just spent half an hour on...

LOL, it shouldn't change THAT much.
Come to think of it... They probably do have warriors.

Yes, they do have warriors...
If they have spearmen, change "warriors" to "spearmen and warriors."
And in any case, if Medea and Assyria don't have them, it doesn't matter.

We would agree to such a defensive pact, but only if we make the terms a bit more precise:
-If one of us is attacked by the bloodthirsty Thai to the north, we will help him to defend against them
-Thats all

Yup that's the template... And updates only happen once a week so you needn't worry too much.

Regeneration In Process
OOC: NK, are you sure you know where I mean? Anyhow, somewhere in between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan for the refference. For simplicity, place me just north of Scythians. Here we go again...
Btw, why didn't you update ethnicities (I rrealize that might wait, actually) and the timeline? Is the line "2000BC - Some civilizations and barbarians appear" too hard to type?
Protoslav sounds like a typical Kievan Rus-period name...
And now, a story about why we don't get Zoroaster anymore. And after that, an attempt to explain what Bactria is right now REALLY.
IC:
551 BC. BCHISTDIMENSION5932590234908590375985237583 (known amongst the people of that dimension as "The Real World"). SOMEWHERE IN BACTRIA.
The old man wandered in here for no particular reason, other then a hidden voice within him. "Must be the Ahura Mazda again" - the founder of Zoroastrism said.
Suddenly, a bird flew over his head. Then, all of the sudden, he got teleported almost 1500 years into the past and into another dimension. Namely:
2000 BC. BCHISTDIMENSION5932590234908590375985237584 (known amongst the people of that dimension as "The Even More Real World Then That Other World"). SOMEWHERE IN BACTRIA.
Zoroaster composed himself quickly. He was pretty smart - that comes with founding a dualist religion and forbidding all sacrifices to Ahriman - and realized what happened quickly. He was still Somewhere in Bactria, only now, he was on the outskirt of a small city.
"Time to spread Zoroastrism." - he said to himself, but was suddenly hit by five bananas fired from behind and died. His spirit stayed in that dimension, though, and he was reborn in the relative future from 2000BC to spread Zoroastrism. But not in Bactria.
The polar bear firing squad grinned to each other, yelled something in an obscure dialect of Bactrian (Perhaps something like "When, is, the, update, beginning?", which probably means something like "One, two, three, four, five!" in English) and teleported away.
---
The wormhole sucked Bactria out of that territory just north of the Aryan-held regions, and placed it just north of the Scythians. Nobody in Bactria noticed the change. The Scythians were quite freaked out by a whole country suddenly teleporting to the north of them.
---
Whole country? What country was it?
It was, ofcourse, Bactria. What sort of a country was Bactria?
It was a very interesting country, one must say. Those who neglected their duty of saying that have been bombarded with comfy chairs until they died.

Excerpts from "InterNESional Country Guide: Things to know about stNNES4 Bactria, 2000 BC edition"
Bactria is located on the river Oxus/Amu Darya/Whatever That River Is Called/I Don't Know, Mighty Emperor/Die Die Die/Argh, I Am Sorry! (river name varies as we switch between various NESes and time periods). Its capital is ordinarily called Tekhen. It is a Player Country. Current ruler of it is Tagarys, possessed by Das. Tagarys is a Tribal Tyrant, which means that he is popular amongst his tribe AND is quite strong anyway.
Bactria, technology-wise, is in Bronze Age. That means that Bactrians have bronze thingies. Then again, many people do.
Bactria gains more money then it loses, which is quite good for it.
There are 5,000 men in the Bactrian army. Nobody of them has yet figured out what a horse is and how to ride one. But the best Bactrian scientists are working on that one as we speak...
Bactria has barbaric infrastructure, which means that the roads there can't speak Latin or Greek, but on the other hand are capable of raiding, pillaging, looting and raping, and of drinking bear and singing something that is supposed to be a barbarian song. It is not very good, the Greek songs, for example, are rather more pleasing to the ear, but it is a start. Bactrian songs, contrary to common opinion, do not stink as it is hard to hear Bactrian music using a nose, and even then, you will be HEARING it: not SMELLING. If you want to hear Bactrian music, it is advised that you don't leave your ears at home. But anyhow, the Bactrian music is not too good; heck, maybe even that stNNES4 Aquilonian (note the on-purpose wrong spelling) thing with the drums is better then THIS.
It is important to note that Bactrian education is also barbaric, i.e. no Latin or Greek language classes. No 19th century history of Europe, neither...
Bactrians have a little culture, but as it is 0 years old, it has plenty of time to grow. One of the fundamental parts of Bactrian culture is the love of battle. Another fundamental part of Bactrian culture is the love of killing mods who did not update yet.
Despite his overwhelming popularity, Tagarys is actually disliked. Some believe it to be because Tagarys is popular within his tribe and everybody hates him. At this point one would like to quote Caligula, but would be executed by polar bears because Caligula didn't, and probably won't, exist.

Orders:
- Pay upkeep.
- 1 eco. point into research: try to find a use for horses. Who knows, maybe those animals can be used for something...
- 1 eco. point into Confidence: throw a... kumiss party or something. If we don't have kumiss, invent it as a part of the Horse Program. If we fail, invent vodka and do with that.
- All forces are to expand in all directions. Primarily, try to take some land from Scythians if it seems as if we can.. But be careful - do not expose any flanks to their cavalry. Just take, now that I thought of it, the good parts in the north.
- Begin project: Oxian Agriculture (+2 Income, +1 Confidence).
[the confidence-in-agriculture bit is explained by this: "Hey, our leader is so smart, he decided to set up farmlands on river Oxus' coast!"]
