Little competition this early on. Should get a bit tougher when the great steppe nomad empires begin to emerge...
By all means, move to Anatolia, or Mesopotamia, or the Levant - Berber North Africa and Gojoseong-era Korean city-states are also open as more original options. If you want Anatolia, then we have a good assortment of warrior peoples, like the Hittites, the Luwians and the Phrygians.

Anyway, people, what would be your opinion about a Thursday 15:00 GMT deadline, to get a quick start? You only really need to post some basic descriptions and rudimentary orders, though if you can manage more then by all means do so.

Does anyone have anything in Persia? If not, I'll be making a Persian Civ.
Scratch that. I'll wait until later before joining in, as I don't know enough about civilizations in the remaining empty spaces.

According to legend the ancient Kingdom of Magadha was one of the sixteen Mahājanapadas was established by the Brihadratha Dynasty, sixth in line from Emperor Kuru of the Bharata dynasty through his eldest son Sudhanush
The first prominent Emperor of the Magadhan branch of Bharathas was the legendary Emperor Brihadratha. The dynasty lasted for a 1000 years even taking part in the Kurkashetra War in which his son Jarasandha fought on the side of the Kauravas, the war lasted 18 fierce days before ending in Pandava victory with 1,530,900 soldiers dead on the Pandva side and 2,405,700 soldiers dead on the Kurava side. His son Jarasandha lay dead upon the battlefield at the end of the conflict killed by Bhima.
And thus began the Kali Yuga at midnight on 18 February 3102 BCE the time that Krishna left to his own abode, for 10,000 years the reigning lord of Kali Yuga and nemesis of Sri Kalki, the 10th and final avatar of Lord Vishnu.
Towards the end of this yuga, Kalki came riding on a white horse to battle Kali and his dark forces. The world suffered a fiery end where all the evil perished.
The current Magadhan rulers claim their lineage from these legendary figures and aspire to the nobility, courage, and honor of the characters of the Mahabharata and Ramayana. The Magadha is martial in spirit, fiercely proud and independent, and emphasizes lineage and tradition.
Start me in northern Bengal/Bihar with my capital at Pataliputra. Religon should be Hinduisim but Magadhan Hinduisim is somewhat distinct from typical Hinduisim in that it places a lot of empahsis on these legendary chracthers as what one should aspire to, and its somewhat martial in nature, similar to the Rajput style Hinduisim to an extent.

Claiming Gujarat region for my creative offerings, expanding this post later.
Postulate: A flood does not destroy the Red Ware people of Lothal, resulting in a hybrid Harappans-Red Ware people city states based around the gulf instead of a predominantly Harappan culture. Lets call them the Avyaktaraga for now.
These city states are considerably less disciplined and centralised than the main Harappan cities but are still quite prosperious thanks to the export of metallurgy, seals, beads and jewellery dispite their rivalry and form the eastern anchor of a trade network streaching as far Egypt, Bahrain and Sumer.

Name: Anything you want it to be das.
Description: Very sea trade based nation. With the capital being the largest city and it being on the coast of the Caspian sea they rely on fish and salts for the economy. (Thinking they are Armenian) They have military know how but prefer quality over quantity unlike other civs in the area. Controlling the salts in the region gives them a power base over the outside tribes and could possible give reason for conflict. Very rich merchant class and a wealthy monarchy at least for now. (If stretching south we would control an area that leads trade to the Indian Subcontinent, if not then meh).
Map:
Other then that I do not care what you do with it. I just want the successor states if any. You are good at this kind of stuff.

I shall play as the proto-D'mt (they didnt exist until 800 BC or so), based around Yeha.
The D'mt claim to be descended from Sheba, and have equality between men and women, remarkable at the time.

I call Shu/southwestern china, alex
Historical Shu location?
Armenians would work as well, but your region was historically "Caucasian Albanian", or Arranian. If that works for you, then great.
EDIT:
Punt might be a little better in that regard, but an earlier D'mt would work as well.

Realistically meaning with plagues devastating both of the clashing civilisations? Okay, I have some better ideas on how to implement that now.
That's actually exactly what I mean. Native technology wasn't the problem (being as it was roughly on a par with European technology except in the military field), the problem was that plagues wiped out 99% of the population. As long as I fall realistically, I'm fine with falling.
Once the actual thread starts, expect me to write a great deal about the Zapotecs.
Actually, call my nation (and capital) by the native name: Danipaguache.
EDIT: Oh, is this the actual thread for a while?
