the people have heard of the execution of the heroic Augustus and are mournful.
but unknown to any of the official rulers, a student has laid his hands on original copies of Augustus's work and was captivated by the truth of these words.
the student, wisely, remains anonynous, while spreading the word of a new way of thinking. he also has another virtue that Augustus sadly lacked. Patience.
if it wont be him, it will be his son, or his grandson, that will start the revolution.

Danawi al-Fahl bin Fajer rose to power beyond anyone's expectations for a 29 year old man. He was a man beyond his years. Danawi, like his grandfathter, was charismatic by nature and educated by some of the greatest scholars of Mecca, Istanbul and Berlin. This worldly young man learned much about other cultures things his people simply could not comprehend. He also learned you keep your friend's close and your enemies closer.
I got it.
I got it.
Fajer Danawi al-Fahl bin Fajer had made many friends throughout the world. These were things that came with privilege. He traveled extensively and was educated throughout the known world. He knew a new age would bring another different kind of war. Economic. With proper teaching by some of the greatest scholars known to man, Fajer learned the power of economics. He also learned that personal connections good or bad could be very powerful. This is the story of both his life and a mysterious disappearance.
As Danawi al-Fahl bin Fajer came into power there was much to do on the economic front. He brought together the council of Elders and they discussed the countries needs. Fajer was quite a persuasive man and had the full backing of the elders. He immediately went to work. He requested banks, harbors and markets for all the great cities. He reviewed many of the trade agreements with other nations. He dispatched a messenger to let the English know that the gems they have been sending were not quite up to the standards our own people in Iberia were producing. Elizabeth was none to happy when her 24 gpt, furs and gems in exchange for our wines and ivory was cancelled. This was the economic war Fajer was looking for. Danawi was not particularly fond of the English for they had a MPP deal with the dastardly drunken French.
1010 Furs were not a major concern as Fajers classmate who was from Kobnhagen Axel Carlsberg was a wealthy fur trader. Fajer and Carlsberg discussed their many romps through the Stroget and Christianshavn but eventually they got down to business. "Your furs for our horses. Deal? Good done". With this deal Fajer was able to reduce the entertainment budget to zero and raise the science budget to 90%. They said this would would shorten the understanding of gravity by 10 years. Danawi al-Fahl bin Fajer knew this was desperately needed to keep up with the two world powers, the slovenly and evil French and good friends, the Germans.
1013 (IBT) A international incident almost occurs when the French accuse us of spying. Although they caught our spy red handed, who saw a rifleman, we left their country claiming it was a mistake. My apologies ( drunken sop). I was not aware of this. The Ansar spy lost his head for not being careful.
1020 al-Fahl was what old friend Cecilius Ezelenbok from Amsterdam called Danawi. Ezelenbok was the new ambassdor from The Netherlands. Danawi made sure his good friend was well taken care of in Mecca. The Arabs agreed to establish this embassy for 76g.
Danawi had ulterior motives behind this embassy. First the art of espionage would become more important in the next era and second the Dutch and Germans would likely be asked to ally with the Arabs if there was or more like when a conflict with the infidels, the French started. Each country of these countries had a border with France.
A few years later Fajers old friend Rolf Hefeweizen in Munich asked if the ivory the English used to receive was available for trade. Rolf could make a small fortune selling this in his country. After a difficult round of negotiations the negotiator Fajer traded ivory for 22 gpt. The theory of gravity was near completion. Fajer had heard of great things of a new technology that could harness energy and increase commerce across the country. His prayers to Allah gave visions of a type of black gold near a tower .this was all very confusing to Fajer.
1025( IBT) The great country was entering another era of greatness. They called this one the industrial revolution. Fajer frantically worked to find deals he could construct. He visited with his fellow classmate Onan Khanh the pasha of a great province in the Ottoman empire and they discussed opportunities. Onan was privy to the great work detailing a new system of government. As they sat in Onans beautiful kiosk they came to terms. The theory of gravity and Military Tradition for Democracy and the 22g the Ottomans had. The deal was lobsided however Fajer knew that the Ottomans who immediately gained knowledge of Nationalism would lower the cost of such information. Fajer did the same with his backward yet humorous friend Igoryok Stolikutzov. He told Igoryok to keep it under his hat but Fajer would gift this information to the Russians. The Russians learned Nationalism. The Germans and French already knew this information. They also knew a technology called steam power. The French and Germans were very closed lipped about this. Not even Rolf Hefeweizen could get him the information. It was simply not possible to learn more. Fajer continued to have his unusual feelings when he prayed .black gold, black gold tower....what could it be?
1030 Fajer renewed a deal for Rolf Hefeweizen, (the new German trade minister thanks to his friendship with Fajer) regarding the silks for 11gpt. Fajer felt what comes around goes around and lowered the price to 9gpt. Fajer had discussed this with his council and they put it to a vote a new technique Fajer learned from his friend Onan. The council did not want to disturb the price and their was definite consternation in the room about the deal. The council was also feeling more powerful with this thing called voting. Fajer may have made a mistake but the underlying impact was significant.

Fajer may have made a mistake but the underlying impact was significant.
1040 Fajer puts 100% of the budget towards harnessing this great power that comes from steam.
Fajer decided to finally meet with his schoolmate Daphnis Saganaki, Greece's ambassador to Russia. Daphnis was not a close friend of Fajers because Daphnis had taken money out of Fajers room at school. Fajer felt that he needed to gift the Greek people information as well. Daphnis..take these gifts of Theory of Gravity and Military Tradition. I give them to you because as a thief you would likely take them from our great country anyhow.
Daphnis was embarrassed by these comments but greedy as he was knew it could mean great things in his country. He would make Faher pay for this embarrassment some day. He laughed under his breath years later when he found his country knew of a black gold that Fajer did not have. He would relay this information to his friend Pierre Medoc the drunkard French vintner. Medoc waved his hands at Daphnis and said What should we care of these people? They drink a peasant wine. Now lets drink a fine 1010 bordeaux my friend. The French may rue the day that this information was not passed on.
1055 (IBT) Fajer raises the price of the silks they were selling to the English well beyond market price. This due in part to their assocation with French, a Man o War near Mecca and they're foolishness pretending the pirate ship is not theirs.
1065 IBT The galleon FS Gingerocks is heavily damaged by the said pirate ship but survives and the crew is elevated to elite status. The English women start a thing called Universal Sufferage. This will never ever happen in the Arab world. Fajer thinks testing this voting thing with his council is a difficult task but women? Never!
The later years Fajers tenure was focused on staying in country and concentrating on infrastructure till this technology called steam power would be developed. He was anxiously anticipating running these powerful machines.
1100 A very strange year indeed. The whole country heard of this great new technology that was developed and they were very excited. The potential to travel from Baghdad to Mecca in hours was very exciting prospect. However there remained one major obstacle. The black gold Allah presented to Fajer was a resource called coal. The tower was in Pisae. Pisae was in France. Danawi was besides himself. He needed to think.
He hailed the great seaman Igor bin Idiot ibn von Kutzov to take him to a faraway place. Danawi needed a break. This new era was taking a toll with its continuous rapid pace. It also sealed Danawis fate. It was believed that spies from France caught wind of this trip. Mysteriously the great tragedy occurred when the ships headed towards the Greek islands Danawi, his ship, its escort and also of note great Celtic musician Jim Morrison, mysteriously disappeared. Foul play is believed to have occurred. Rumors abound that is was a collaboration between the French and Greeks. There are many questions, answers and consequences to come.
With that we end the chapters of the great builder and leader into the industrial age Danawi al-Fahl bin Fajer.
I will post a save in a little bit.

Rumors of a man named Jed, a poor mountineer who barely kept his family fed are reported from our agents in France. It seems that one day, Jed was shootin at some food, when breaking from the ground came a burning black rock. Coal it was; black gold, the key to steam power. Sir Drysdale, a nefarious english banker, was the first to recoginize the potential of the new resource and promptly siphoned off much of Jed's new wealth.

Nasser Ibn Allah, was sitting in his office when word of Fajer Danawi al-Fahl bin Fajer's "disappearance" was anounced. Nasser was seen to be beside himslef with rage, at once accusuing the french and thier evil allies the greeks. all in the room felt it was a foul day for the empire. the loss of such a visionary shall be felt for many years to come.
one member of Nasser's retinue suggested that a new leader for the people is needed, and who better than the great boss himself?
Nasser reluctantly agreed, having waited many years for his chance to seize power. I shall become supreme ruler of all Arabs. a new dawn is upon us.
but what to do with this black gold? how to acquire it? summoning the great philosopher Alim Baarakat Fana (also known as the blessed extinction, for his view on the world's people's) and asked him to find him an answer.
pondering the dilema for almost 30 minutes, Baarakat finally replies: "as supreme among humanity, ALL natural resources, especially those that emanate from the land, are blessed by Allah, and were put there for his followers to use. these many years have seen a weakening of the noble arab seed by intermarriages, weak teachers, the adoption of wine and beer as opposed to Allah's decries. the black gold which lies right across the border is a sure sign of Allah's displeasure with us. we must abandon these new ways and return to the simple, old beliefs. to do that we must first clease the body of Arabia. we must take up arms and take what is ours from the evil french."
thinking of this Hassan sees truth in the teachers words. but how o do that? we are not yet ready to strike at the french. we shall bide our time for now, but in a few years, the gold shall be ours.
thats a "we get to get some action soon"

Many diplomats have whispered that they believe Danawi al-Fahl bin Fajer and Jim Morrison may be have been kidnapped and are somewhere in France.
The generals request a war map of the Pisae area to see these great resources that emanate from the land and are blessed by Allah.

Nasser ibn Allah is right now in his field tent, planning for what must be done.
how to accomplish this is a wholy different matter. upon reflection the generals he has assembled agree - we are weak. we have neglected our birthright for many years and need more troops to defeat the unholy french.
the holy scholars have assured him that it is but a few years till we must have the black gold, but only with keeping their fat salaries.
nonsense thinks Hassan, we can cut down thier budget, allowing us to build up the armies of Allah.
this talk of revolution that is spreading throughout the Emirate must also be adressed. WITH FORCE. we cannot allow discontent to spread like wildfire.
all of these have resulted in the NEW CONSTITUTION, some of which is bring to you herewith,
1-all arabs must serve a minimal period of 4 years in the military.
2-all malcontents and outspoken opposition to the holy regime are banned.
3-the punishment for opposing the regime is either imprisonment for life or a 10 year enlistment in the infantry regiments.
4-all income is to be taxed, 3 parts in 10, as war levy. these funds shall be used to support the army.
5-all scholars will donate thier salary to build great temples for Allah, all within the county of Piss Allah and Rye Umms. as these counties have not yet embraced Allah, the funds shall be kept in a special trust, Hassan's.
6-criticism of any of the following is considered opposition, see section 3.
7-this constitution is an emergency measure only, and as such shall be only temporary till we arabs secure OUR black gold.
following the formulation of the new law, Hassan sits down and begins planning the liberation of the now french counties.
after long deliberations he comes up with this simple plan.
we shall use a classic 2 prong attack pattern, one from Veii, which will be reinforced with cannon and infantry. its goal is simple, take and hold Piss Allah (as it is to be renamed upon being freed), a second prong, which will be manned by our best offensive troops shall take Rye Umms and march to meet what remains of the red prongs reserves in a crushing blow to the french sity of Oral Sans. in that city will be built a grand monastery where we shall "deal" with resistors.
the last french outpost in the Iberian lands shall be assaulted by our AC's, Ansars and MDI's.
a call has been sent for people willing to settle the new lands. many rewards were promised to those, among which is exemption from taxes AND military service, the best schools in arabia, and a temple in each quarter.
having worked many months for this plan, Hassan presents it to the holy one and his council.
does he get the proper approval rates?
the reckoning of our army concludes we have a strong army
22 musket divisions, 18 cavalry regiments and 10 cannon brigades. older and obsolete troops are also plentiful, manned by malcontents mostly. these include 5 a medieval infanties, 8 Ancient and now sadly weakened cavaly and 5 of our oldest Ansar warriors.
the cannons shall be moved to Veii to support RED ARM, along with fully 10 muskets and some cavalry (8 regiments)
BLUE arm shall consist of ALL obsolete troops with a core of our elite cavalry.
the losses expected are haevy so we shall cut down the budget for learning, focousing on propaganda so more brave souls shall enllist in the army.
the inner lands shall be left with only token garrisons.
---------
i cant play today, but will most assuredly play tomorow.

A new settlement is highly recommended on the gold spot west of P-Allah since neither black gold areas will be within the P-Allah border. This will allow our great workforce the capability to make railroads.
Be careful for there are rifles in most surrounding cities. Fortunately you have many mountains that will make it very difficult for Napoleon's cavalry to counterattack. "Allah willing" many great leaders will come with our great struggle.

This morning would be crucial for Vizir Salim, the Chief Diplomat for Christian Affairs of the Arab Empire. After meeting with the Dutch, he was expecting the German ambassador, Mr. Klaus Wagner for a talk about the situation in Central Europe.
"Good morning, Your Highness. How's the Emperor?" saluted the German
"Very well. He's with our generals right now, talking about the plan I mentioned with you"
"Oh, the plan. The Pisae Plan. See, although we'd love to see those damned French crushed under our armies, we cannot..."
"You can, Mr. Ambassador. Bismarck gave us his word, and William's in for the fight too." the Vizir was calm but firm
"But it's not only Napoleon, my dear Vizir! Elizabeth's with him, and the whole Europe fear his power!"
"Just like they feared Rome? Or maybe the Iberians? We brought these people to our knees, Mr. Ambassador. Even now most of our Generals don't want to the extend the war to Paris; we're being... merciful. We just want the strategic resources that will ensure our very survival as a nation through this era of political agitation and religious unrest. For the first time in our history, we're not going to a Jihad. We're fighting for our survival as an Empire, not as Allah's sons"
The German ambassador was scared. He expected the Pisae Plan to be just another utopian adventure from a bored General the Emperor would never carry it out. But it was happening.
After some discussion, he was ready to leave the building back to Berlin. He then looked back.
"Allah is becoming an expensive master, isn't He, my dear Vizir?"

it was the summer of the year 1100 that i began having visions of black gold within our natural borders, but i had thought it was a folly, what would we, the blessed of Allah, need black stones for?
it was later, that rumors of FTH (Faster Than Horse) vehicle began being seen within the french colonies.
Blasphemers, i thought, and decided to strike at this abomination and deny the french thier idiocy.
in order to accomplish this goal i have fired a few scientists, to make way for a larger, more powerful army. the french were notorious for thier defensive capabilities, and i had no wish to send thousands of our faithful to be slaughtered.
i have also started a barracks in the front line cities as to better train our warrior.
it took some time and 10 years before the advent of Industrialisation, in 1190 a heroic spy was sent into the city of Piss Allah.
here is his report.
the reports overwhelmed me. such a powerful army calls for a different startegy.
i decided to fire ALL scholars, aiming at a a budget that would allow us to hurry up many cavalry and cannon brigades,
in a further effort to avoid alliances against us, as the french must have vile plans for this army, i signed a deal with the queen of england, selling her some wine for 6gpt.
we had a few more peaceful years in which i hurried a few battalions and rushed them to thier staging points.
and in 1230 the treacherous french declare war upon us.
at first the people rejoiced at such a welcome war, throwing wild parties, but then the reports stared to rush in.
the city of Veii has fallen. and all the defenders slaughtered.
our troops which were at the border patroling, tried thier best, but failed to relieve Veii, and only narrowly saved Cumae.
one valorous general, Habib El-Allah, rallied forth what remained of the cavalry and charged in a last hope attack on PissAllah, managing to take it from the infidels.
that is when it really bagan to get ugly, as legions upon legions of french swarmed over the country, leaving none alive.
in 1240 we have tried to bring in some allies, but only managed to bring in the greeks, for the heavenly price of Industrialisation, 525g and ivory.
the Germans and Dutch, have both, seeing the news reels, decided not to enter this war, but in view of our past signed an Embargo against the french.
an embassy was also opened in moscow, so we might lure the in.
if until now you thought that it was bad, youi have never heard of the summer of 1240
within 3 bitter months of fighting almost our entire eastern force was destroyed.
the only good news, if such could be called good, was that the battle of CHarters was going, relatively well. we lost few troops, and the local garrisons were almost completely wiped out.
here are some situation maps for the west
and the eastern front
it is here within my prison cell, awaiting my well deserned execution, that i leave my last will and testament. let him who inherits my unlucky duty, be more devout in his prayers. Allah knows that the troops out there shall need them. :suicide:
