OOC: Okay, make it Gothic Alchemy then.

One more question - as we discover new technology, will there be new troop types eventually? And could we, after some time, change UU?

IC:

Fretigern was shocked. Athanarik was shocked. Rekagarth was drunk, so he wasn't shocked, but he doesn't matter.

The Ostrogoths agreed! They agreed on even less priveleges then Fretigern offered! The Gothic Nation was united! Needless to say, Fretigern decided he might as well start the search for the Elixir of Beer, if something like that unification has worked.

Ofcourse, there were minor problems. That old paranoic, Constantine II of Eastern Roman Empire, started fortifying his borders, and so did that Alani Kegan, Rheasus. Ulfilas crossed Danube and started spreading the Arianist Christianity. While neither Fretigern neither Athanaric converted, they did not have much against it, as all the converts still were good warriors, good hunters and good drinkers. They were Christian by faith, but Gothic in culture. And for all Fretigern cared, they could remain to be Christian, they could become Mithrian or Zoroastrian or some other -ian for all he cared, as long as they remain Goths.

Diplo:

From: Visigoths
To: Ostrogoths

We know you may be concerned by the Arianist Christianity, but you should not be. Those who converted may be Christian by religion, but they are still Gothic by culture. As long as they still are the good, brave and skilled fighters, hunters and drinkers, they are stilll Goths for all one cares, so we should let them be.

However, to strenghthen the Gothic culture, we need to take some measures. First, I propose that we start exploring the world of alchemy, to find the legendary Elixir of Beer. We also need to strenghthen our culture by having bards memorize and sing of the great tales of old. Perhaps to farther fortify our Union, we may also have a war against, oh say, Roxoliani - not immediately, but ten years from now we should be ready. The land we take from them will be yours.

What do you think about it?

Orders:
- PMed
 
to roxoliani
from alani

perhaps you have a daughter that is fit to be a bride to my oldest son and draw our two nations closer?

To Zen, is it possible to build cities.
Yes, barbarians may found thier first city free, after which a city costs 3 economy. cities increse the quality, the effciency, and moral of troops fighting in that area- if your founding your first city, it also helps you expansion into unclamed lands, as you have a center or control established

emmm...Xen..how was Shu able to invade me without having a navy? Wadeing across the river?
essetialy, yes- your land is mostlly , but not completelly cut off by rivers, and even cut off as it is, there are still bridges and crossings and such

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


To: Wu
From: Wei

Yes, we find an NAP most benificial to out current situation.

To: Persia
From; Kush, W.Saka, (wait to see if N. Saka gets a player soon)

For now, yes, we will sign a pact of non-agression

To: Visigoths
From: Ostrogoths

we find this agreeable, to attack the Roxoliani, since it will be our mighty cavalry forces that due a good deal fo the days fighting against thier many horsemen- a victory of our troops infront of the chrstian warbands shoudl do good toshow them who are the true gods of the Goths.

To: Alani
From: Roxolianii

We agree to this, and hope to see that no nation may threaten ours after we forge the great alliance by merrige
 
oh, and yes, as new technologies are reserched, slowlly but surelly, new troops will ebncome availible, and while Ihave noot decided when, UUs can be changed at some point- it mayu be a player spefic event, like AAminions Roman reform seems liek the kind of thing, that if it had hapend in real life, and supposeing there was economy to back it, would have turned the clock on the legions, amking them into somthing more along the linees of the mid imperial- or, perhaps even the almighty early imperial legions...

of course, i may just give him his bonus, and thats that, so i dont know yet.
 
Rheasus khan surveyed the city below him, progress had not proceded as fast as he would of liked, he had been forced to call in several dozen experts from the western empires to supervise the work. they were soft and decedent in his eyes, but were skilled in the use of stone and wood. progress had picked up considerly since then. He would have a proper capital yet.

Good news flowed like a stream in a thunderstorm,his eldest son was to marriage into the royal clan of the roxoliani. The dream of his family for generations moved one step closer to completion. The reunitifcation of the alani and roxoliani. They were once ,more generations ago than he could remember one people--the samartians, but they had gone there seperate ways for reasons no one remembered. They shared the same culture,religion,language and customs, they should share the same leader too---rheasus khan acourse :D

enough idle thoughts, he had work to do. He was introducing reforms to the council of chieftains later today. He purposed to sent parties of priest/shamans with chiefs to every village and farm in the nation to take a census of all the people/crops/livestock and men of military age. It was hoped that a more fair, equal and actuate taxation of the land would produce more revenue to flow into the treasurely/economy. It would also give an actuate count of military aged men to help the military to molbilize in times of war.

Mental note--increase the numbers of young men joining the priesthood/shamans, as the majority of educated population their help in admimisterating the growing land will be needed
 
The heavy mist kept the longboats hidden until it was to late for the Pictish defenders to put up any effective resistance. The Scandinave warbands pillaged village after village on the Pictish coast, and theese daring raids did much to improve Scandinave reputation amongst its neighbours.
The expedition towards Thule, however, was a failiure wich was expected. "If it works, it works" Sven was quoted saying. Lessons were learned and more funds were diverted towards establishing set guidlines and rules for sailors, ships and voyages. A small island to the south, strategically located at the inlet to the Baltic Sea was decided to be the next target for colonization.

Brendenberg, as the locals were calling it, was far from a huge beautiful capital that Froedrick wanted it to be. In fact, it wasnt much more than a few huts with pigs running around. Froedrick wanted this city to grow into the center of Northern Germanic culture. It was time for a city beautification. The first thing that had to go were the dirt roads.
Some city planners went ahead and made a map, of Froedricks plans of course, of what Brendenbur should look like in just 10 years. A grand network of stone roads went out. Within these roads would be the bildings that would support a great nation.
Then Froedrick was built a great home to be the center of governing. It woudl be beautiful, yet stone. A great symbol, yet also strong enough to act as the center of this warrior nation.
Finally the great city walls were built. Plenty of room was left within the city for it to grow. Froedrick expected it too. The walls were built strong to withstand the enemies of the Teutons. These were the best of walls, to surround a uniquely German city.

Froedrick wished to commemerate this great day with a grand feast! He sent a message out to the leaders of all the Germanic tribes

The message read:
Greetings gothic, and otherwise Germanic brothers! We wish to form a grand alliance of german tribes! We could call it the League of Germanic intrests or some other such name. Anyway, the important thing is that I would like to have the first meeting to commemerate the opening of the great hall of Brendenburg. It would be a grand honor to me and my people if this alliance were formed, as the Teutonic capital was constructed. Please consider coming!

SECRET
To Western Roman Empire
From ERE

In the case of a Visigothic attack, I suggest that you maybe get an ROP w/ the Vandals, so that you could keep him busy on a northern front.
 
Brittania to the Picts :

An alliance would suit both of us. With our borders secure, our nations could concentrate on the seaborn raiders. What do you say?
