stNNES7: Worlds and Empires

Yes it is, if you mean the ancient myth. You noe the term "Flaming/fury yellow descendant?" that's where it came from. So is your "huangdi" the same one from the myth/history in OTL? Or is it a new one?
 
i dun have a "huangdi" as my current ruler but a normal guy raised in Shu.

the religion of shu centers around the Yellow Emperor, who is the same person in the chinese myth/history in OTL with a few edits to make it more interesting.
 
I know, i meant the Huangdi in your story. Is his name spelt "yellow emperor" or "Royalty (best translation i can come up with... -__-) emperor" I hate it when multiple characters sound so similar. Also, isn't "Wang"/King the closest title for the feudal nations in china (like in Zhou dynasty)? So it WOULD be appropriate to use. Even if it sounded similar, it's not a part of the guy in legend's actual name, so it's not really heresy.

Ok enough spamming :)

Edit: Alex, can i borrow one of your sacred beast in that story to use in an upcoming story of mine?

The huangdi, or Yellow Emperor is literally the Yellow Emperor using the yellow word for huang instead of the other huang.

"Wang" is indeed King in Cantonese, but it's prounounced Huang in mandarin. i just checked that on wikipedia.

and no, it's still not appropriate to use when talking to people from shu :D

arrrghhhh, i can't stand pinyin!!!!

EDIT: as long as nothing bad happens to it.... or the Shu leaders will be mad enough to march their army all the way to Song... ;)
 
To: Thebes and Mycene
From: Minoa
We are people of the Aegean helping fellow people of the Aegean out. Athens wanted our protection, so we gave it to them. Why are you being so hostile.
 
From: Thebae
To: Minoa

Athenae should never have been independent to begin with. Cede it to us or there will be war.

From: Mycenae
To: Minoa

We dislike further minoan presence, though we will tolerate it for now.
 
To: Sumerian City States
From: Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon

I see that your economy is in a bit of turmoil as of late. Perhaps trade with the great city of Babylon would be just the remedy you are seeking? We have much to offer.

We already trade with you, but perhaps an officially sanctioned trade route would do good... We agree.
 
OOC: NK, didn't I say in my orders to increase education and the army? Or does starting the Hanging Gardens use both of my spendpoints?

I messed that up too?

Will fix.
 
OOC: If I don't yet have contact with the Garamantes then just ignore this.

To Garamantes:
From Mali:
Hail, men of the northeast. The great Kingdom of Mali extends its greeting to you. We have heard tales of your civilization, which they say is as great as our own. We have heard myths of your capital, which they say rivals Timbuktu in grandeur. If this is indeed true, it is good to know there are other civilized nations in this world. Will you trade with us?

We have heard only rumors of you as well; it would seem there are a great many Berbers in between us. Perhaps we should clear a route, and then think of trade?


OOC: NPC stats done... I think.
 
Sundiata Keita was a warrior king. Although his closest advisors were merchants and priests, no man would ever mistake him for a king who feared war. No, in his muscular frame and intense eyes even the blindest man could see a great warrior.

Sundiata Keita was a warrior, but also no fool. He knew what riches lay within the boundaries of his kingdom. He knew his people would prosper by exploiting these riches. But he also knew what riches lay within the boundaries of his enemies, the Ashanti and Berbers. He knew that these barbarian peoples would never allow the Mali to grow wealthy off their vast resources in peace. No, the barbarians would come, and raid, and rape, and pillage, and despoil the landscape of Mali for there own gain.

And so Sundiata Keita, Warrior King of Mali, must destroy them. Must defeat their armies and burn their camps and bond their women into slavery. Must ensure the power of his kingdom was so great that no nation would ever again challenge it, and so his people could prosper in peace as they desired.

Sundiata Keita knew the future held great wealth. But he also knew that the immediate present would require great sacrifice to reach that wealth. For now the economy of the kingdom would suffer, so that the kingdom could be secure from dangers, and in that security flourish.

And so the King, greatest warrior of the Mali, embarked upon the greatest military buildup the world had ever known. The Berbers and the Ashanti would be brought to heel, their lands and resources seized, the threat they posed neutralized. No nation would ever again threaten the prosperity of Mali.

Orders:
-Sacrifice one economy level for 6 eco points
-Recruit 4000 Archers and 4000 Spearmen (or 3000 and 3000, depending on whether the 6 points are total or additional)
-Attack the Ashanti along the Niger basin with entire army except 1500 Archers and 1000 Spearmen who defend Timbuktu and the surroundings; use the same tactics as before, a spear line with archers behind
-Continue the building of canals, ditches, and reservoirs to irrigate the land around the Niger
 
That was an awesome update, very enjoyable to read.
I just hope you don't burn yourself out with such long ones.


Story and orders tomorrow.
 
NK - can I send orders later today?
 
das, according to his calendar, the next update is in 3 days or so.

@NK, do I have contact with the Chinese or atleast know roughly of thier progress? (makes for good propoganda)
 
I would reckon Tong and you have trade contact - simply because I trade and explore.

Not sure thoguh
