Egypt

Confused tryed the Pharaoh to remember what happened in Thebens. He had been at the Main gate, helping his forces to defend the city. But then somebody had taken him, pulled him from his chariot, dragged him to the city port, thrown him into a waiting boat and then he had shipped him to the main army which was moving to the north. Well whatever. He was at the western side of the Nile and Thebens had fallen to the enemy Pharaoh, who must have some kind of demonic powers.
Although his plans hadn't worked at all, he now had the opportunity to attack the enemy capital and the enemy forces at Thebens from behind! His forces were already building rafts from reed. Together with his navy and the gathered fisherboats, he would be able to cross the Nile and then, he would lead his forces towards Thebens, while the rest of the army would invade Lower Egypt. Other troops would take care that the enemy would have no chance to cross the nile. Burning arrows would be shot at the enemy rafts and then the soldiers would have to jump into the crocodile infested river. The few priest who had fled Thebens in time had already made prayers to Sobek.

Hopefully his plans would work this time.

Orders:
-grow army
-4/5 of the army cross the nile with boats and rafts in the north, cutting the enemy forces near thebens from supplies
-of these 4/5 2/5 will attack the Lower Egyptian capital, 2/5 will attack the enemy army near Thebens.
-1/5 of the army ensure that nobody crosses the nile.

Spain to France :

We would like a permanent treaty of peace and friendship between our countries and our rulers.

Spain to the Basque :

Old Ones! You have in the past attacked our farms, and we have in the past raided your herds. Your bands are wild and unruly, and have no respect for our law. Our people are eager to till new soil and build new huts ever farther towards the frontiers, and care little whether or not that land holds the bones of your ancestors. Our people are suspicious of each other. We can live with suspicion, but hostility we will not tolerate. Say now whether you wish peace with us or war. If peace, your soldiers will hold to your lands and ours will hold to ours, and the inviolability of travelers will be respected, as it is our custom to offer hospitality to guests. If war, we do not fear you. What do you say?


For generations the Iberian people migrated from Africa, crossing the sea to scratch into deeper soil and graze our livestock on taller grass. More recently, our kinfolk across the blue have been pushed out of their lands by the Carthaginians, whose mouths are smeared with blood. We recognize these new arrivals as our kin, and they us as theirs. Our languages and customs are similar, with little difference that make us laugh with amusement and fascination. Some who arrive are proud, dozens of families carried by long ships, with riches in treasure and weapons and hides that they haul from the insides of their boats and put on the walls of the noble houses they build. Others are hungry and have nothing of any material value, folk of the hills and valleys driven out by drought or the Bloody-Mouthed, who enslave them or kill them and steal their livestock. But their spirits are strong and the earth is good to them, and of those who find good wells, most survive. In the north are a people who claim to have been here before us, but they are not here now, they hide in their hills, where their villages are small, and rarely occupied for very long before they move on. Their language is exotic to us, but not unpleasant to hear when raised in song or poetry and not the shriek of a raider’s cry. Far to the north are lands where it is dark for ever in winter and light continually in summer. We have ice spirits and sun spirits in equal proportion, but up there the one is constantly vanquishing the other, and the people are like that as well, one spirit always conquering the other and their moods always changing in as little time as here to there.
Our Council of Rulers now has men whose homes were in Africa, they journey from their new villages to join our other village leaders in the Middle city and talk of things from the middle to the edges of our land, and recently they speak of things beyond our land. To the north, it seems there may be peace, and to the farther north it is almost certain there will be peace, which is good because their fair women are a prettier sight than their warriors. But to the south things are not good. The Africans who sit on our council tell sad stories and angry stories about what has happened to the peoples of where they came from. These men are surely our brothers, as surely as my mother’s son is my brother, for they are our mother’s mother’s mother’s son’s son’s sons; they know our tongue and customs and they are fair to us about barley and sheep and more than fair as only a friend will be. And since they are our brothers and our brothers’ wives, are not their brothers and their brothers’ wives still in Africa our family? And it is not right to let a man steal from and kill and enslave one’s family. There is much solemn talk about the Bloody-Mouthed men from Carthage. The leaders grit their teeth and shake their heads. They count on their fingers; they make gestures like a man riding a horse, a boat being heaved across the waves…a youth holding a spear.


Orders: Upgrade army by one level, upgrade education by one level.

Update 5

Zulu make it to copper age. Zulu expand aggresivly north, wiping out a whole tribe of people in their way.

Authoritarian rule in France leads to a strong leader, who is quick to gain the fear, yet respect of the people (+ confidence).

Roddinan people are slightly uplifted due to the recent action in the Council (+ confidence)

In a quick twist of events, the Upper Egyptians are able to successfully cut the Lower Egyptian army off from supplies, and pursue them down the Nile. The delta is captured, the enemy Pharaoh's army stuck in Thebes, and Memphis has been taken. A good day for the Upper Egyptians (+confidence) (-2 army Lower Egypt).

The Athenians sneak attack the Ottoman Empire in Europe, taking the small garrison by surprise, but not inflicting any huge casualties. A force has also landed and taken Cyprus.

The Khaeven navy attacks Vikings ships in the Batlic, and then leads a wild chase to Denmark. Here, off the beaches of Jutland, the Viking fleet is surrounded by Briton and Khaeven ships, and slaughtered (-2 navy Vikings, -1 navy each ally). Most noteable is the Brittan ability of fighting at sea and the copper boats of Khaev.

Next, the Vikings strike at Khaev in Finland, where preparations were already being made for an invasion. Overwhelming the prepared Khaevens, the Vikings win many key battles and push Khaevens back (-1 Khaev Army).

Ottoman army continues to gain ground, capturing Babylon (-1 babylonian confidence, -1 army), and getting close to Ur. As babylon nears death, more join the army (-1 army (-2 army +1 army=-1 army))

Through fighting, Ottomans, Vikings, and Britons learn copper.

Arabian Orders

Send an army north and see if we can capture the Sinai from the Lower Egyptians allowing us access to the Med Sea. Expend another economy ensuring that all the white spaces in Arabia are turned a healthy Arabian pink. Send a naval dispatch to the island of Socrata (the island to the south of Arabia) and capture it for the greater glory of the Caliphate!

To our neightbours (other than the Lower Egyptians)
From the Greater Arabian Caliphate

We ask for a Non-Aggression pact of sorts with your nations to ensure that our great civilised peoples do not find it in occasion to fight against each other.

To Amazonia and Inca
From Brazil:
I hope we can all live in peace for generations. I purpose we share ideas and goods in a great trading network across our lands.

BRAZIL ORDERS

Grow Education

Expand along the following map

 

[Dachs]

To: Moldovia, (Republic of Hellenica? The one to my north, other than Texas)
From: Hellas (Athens name change)

We wish a non-aggression pact with both of your powerful nations. We have no intention of invading either of you, ever, and we would like to reciprocate. Hellas only hurts those who hurt it, with the sole exception of those who took over land that gave them a springboard into our nation! We eliminated such a threat, and wish to ally with such strong nations as yours, between powerful civilizations.

 

[EQandcivfanatic]

Zulu Orders

Grow Army and Education at expense of an Economy.

Grow Army.

*sigh* Send army north to attack the Ottomans.

Spread rumors in the Babylonian captured land that the Ottomans plan to execute all ethnic Babylonians to hopefully incite a rebellion and toss off the Ottoman yoke.

btw jason your inbox is full.....

 

[Dachs]

u should add strategy like flanking and etc u no.

He's probably figuring that he's doomed and that it won't matter if he tries to flank the Ottomani army or not, he's doomed anyway. Never a good strategy to give up like that. Ever. Babylon may be bad defensive terrain in terms of high ground, but it has a crapload of rivers: block those and use them as the natural barriers that they were intended to be. Keep the Ottomans from establishing bridgeheads, and you can repel a larger force with a very small one.

The Kingdom of France

I think ill write a story later...continue the Charlemagne saga...


Orders
-increase education
-increase army
-take iceland

 

[Drake Rlugia]

Blah. I could've done that - but I never think of good ideas until after I've sent orders.

Babylon Orders *revised, use these if possible*

Grow army.

Start blocking the rivers to slow the Ottoman advance.

Start spreading rumors that ethnic Babylonians will be executed after the invasion is over to attempt to incite any possible rebellion.

Pull the armies back into Ur and burn it down. If the Ottomans get to Ur, then all they will find is a burning, useless town!

1/4 of the army retreat back to Ur and burn it down. If the Ottomani get this far, then atleast they won't reap the rewards of it.

With the remaining army, preform a turning manuver to attempt a wide swing around the Ottmani flank.
