The immedtiate result of the battle was that the goths for the time being, had gaind a large foot hold on the steppe- and that the roxoliani completely joined the Alans as a federate nation- in a similer manner to how the ostrogoths had join the Visigoths...
Effect- Alans +remainder of Rox forces
moreover, the battle had shaken the faith in the cristian visigoths- after all, it was they who had by far suffered the most casualties of anyone at the battle, while not only had the ostrogoths suffered -comparitivelly- light casultues, but it was they who had won the battle- the ostrogoths made good use of the sentiment to encourege more traditional out looks on the Visigothic christian, even having some convert back to the old gothic faith...
However, that was far, far from the last battle to be had on the Steppe...
for once the peoples f the steppe had been repulsed, the Romans attakced...
or more properlly, the Eastern Roman Empire- citeing that the Goths had attacked the alans, a E. Roman Ally, the Romans launched an invasion, not from the expected danube, but rather Romes possesions in the Crimean penninsula- where, the E. Romans, expecting the majority of Gothic troops to have been slughted, had olny sent a small contingent of troops as mop up (OOC- this is what you get for not sending a specified amount of troops. I have already said evertone needs to send exact numbers. and you shoudl be thank ful i didnt send a large force, and have them get slughterd.) However, the reality was much different- the Goths had been sending scouts far and wide in search of litterally any spoisl to be had, but so far, there had been little luch in even finding a day old comapsite, and with few exceptions, they had come out empty handed- even the great battle had yeilded far less spoils then the Goths ha dbeen expecting-and so when severla hundred Roman troops cam marching in the newlly conqoured Gothic territory, they Goths wer emore then ready to fight...
The fight was, by the standards of thye great battle of the steppe, less the nominal, a few hundred underprepared Roman infantry who had expected little more then patrolling duty in thier own and allied territory were met by a still several thousand strong force of goths hunting for loot... making continued use of the Githic cavalry, the Eastern Romans were soon overrun, and goths, feelign confidant, even managed to snag up to the defensive walls that had been built in the area of roman terriorty- and while having no real population aside from a few resident nomads from Alania or Roxia, the moral change was noticabel in the Gothic camp...
Losses- Goths- 20 ostrogothic UU, 100 Visigothic UU, 100 Visitgothic warband E.Romans-300 Infantry
however, more was instore for eastern europe... after gearinf the loss of some northern territory, the ahinaltionf o300 infnatry, and dissidence form the pagans reseinding in the eastenr empire, moral of e. rome had reached an all time low point- until, a small confidnece boster was gained at the arrival of troops from the Roman kingdom of Britiania! Longforgotten in the eyes of the eastern empire, the arrival of over 1200 troops form the bastion of Rome in the north are more the well noticed, and thier high moral has an effecton local troops- so that over all thier moral stays about the same... at the same time, a wider gap is made witht he W. roman empire in the eyes of the citizens, due to the pagan emperor, and him not being the one to aide eastern rome... not to mention the fact that he is winnig his war outright, and inspiring the local populaitons of pagans to be far mre vocal in thiere arguments agiasnt christianity
Northern Europe
Scandinaves
The people of the north have bigplans, and, after gitting troops from thier allies in the form of thier UU, and establishing a trade rout with the teutons, the longships set sail... reaching the coasts of Pictland, the ships- filled with ex-Roman troops gone rougue and noe mercenaies, as well as the troops from the northsmen, a landing is soon made- but the picts have grown vigilent- they fully expect the attack from the sea- and while the troops are prepared for thier job, the picts fight ferociouslly- sizable losses are had by both sides, though the use of mercenaries sends shockwavs through the pictish host, and they soonbeging to blam the Roman kingdom of britian as partially repsonsible for the raids, and they prepare, mainlyl out of frustration at not being able to end the sea raids, to invade britiannia, and as such, quicklly replenish the losses they had in battle....
Losses- Scandinanaves-200 mercenaries, 200 Olfserks[/b]
Middle East and India
Persia
The perisan meet with GREAT resistence in the stepe and deserts near the caspian sea, effectivlly halting thier progres,, as, even wityh standing ordes, the commanders feel the emperor would rather deal with the new situation with a full force of troops, and the mod would liek to deal with far less number management in troops losses then he has to in this update, because that part really sucks. why have the mighty armies of Perias been halted? the barbarians to the north are orginizing, as a branch of the same barbarians that were forced from Mongolia have spilt from the rest of thier tribe, caucasians, they have been givin the name Ephthalites,or, White huns- the Huns in the area have rapidlly created thier own domain, and gave gaind great respect from the peoples of the steppe, as the steppe people relize that these people may have the experience needed to drive back the perisans...
