The pre-AFSNES I.

[Oruc]

At least you got a mention, I just don't think Dach likes me

 

[JosefStalinator]

Alternate Sicily (Still haven't decided on a name) orders coming tonight. Maybe even a story. Don't wanna get too attached for when I move to inland Europe/Britain.

 

[Thlayli]

That's true das, since technically Sparta's not even going to become a minor power until around 1000 BCE. Still, if you plan on collapsing Mycenae on schedule, I can salvage some sort of Aeneid-type migration from that.

 

[das]

Fair enough.

 

[Niklas]

Seeing how no one has chosen to play in the Mesopotamia region, I will pick Ur as my nation. The difference is that this Ur did not succumb to an Elamite invasion (at least not before the start of this BT ). Orders shortly.

 

[das]

Wubba360 did say something to the effect of southern Mesopotamia... but I think he wanted further south at any rate.

Btw: Wubba360, Nuclear kid and LightFang are strongly encouraged to confirm or denounce their claims and expand on them (I mean, some names at least would be nice!). Otherwise their poor and underdeveloped civilisations risk assimilation.

 

[Niklas]

Hmm, or did Wubba take that location? With Bedoins you can't quite be sure. If he did, I'll take Elam instead, though I prefer Ur.

EDIT: X-post...

I'll stick to Ur then, unless Wubba speaks up soon.

 

[Nuka-sama]

OK, my name will be Racadonia, starting at OTL Istanbul, the city will be called Ranopolis

 

[~Darkening~]

Blah-hah. ignore me das .

Tiahuanaco

Spoiler :

Tiahuanaco- the gateway to the Sun. Long have the people dwelt within the valleys, scoping their chochas, suka collas, and terraces. The people dwell ing within the large city live off the excess produce while performing work for the Sun-Emporers. Worship of the Sun God, Inti, and his father, Viracocha, the god of Civilization, is spread equally through the city.

Presumably the Racadonians are related/similar to Macedonians.

 

[Disenfrancised]

After all these years and I'm still just "the Texan"

Hey count yourself lucky - I didn't get mentioned at all!

Just curious Das, are you going to develop religious, ethnic, and/or linguistic maps for any of the updates? Because if you did so along the way, it would really enhance and enrich the final product. I bet you could enlist the aid of other NESers in that regard.

I do put the fid in perfidious

 

[Thlayli]

My orders are sent.

 

[Foozicaba]

Im going to join, but do we have rules??

Not at this stage. Just post (or PM) some details about your nation, and the direction you want to take it in.

 

[Israelite9191]

Armenians would work as well, but your region was historically "Caucasian Albanian", or Arranian. If that works for you, then great.

Aghbanian dear sir, not Arranian.

That will work. Whatever you want to do you can do. You are better at names than I.

See above.

I doubt I can be Saxons this early, I guess i'll take something near China.

Yuezhi, Wusun, and Qiang would be good nomadic-esque and rarely done choices.

After all these years and I'm still just "the Texan"

And I'm "a Jew".

 

[alex994]

I see das doesn't believe in the Xia Dynasty *raises eyebrow*

Just wait and see

EDIT: Preferably Shandong area
