WNES5: World of Wonder

I have 9/11 of the orders so I'm starting update now.
 
OOC: I have added governments to the stats. The only avalible governments are Despotism(a king controls everything, few levels of government) a Hierarchy(multiple levels of government with splitting of power) and a tribal(coalition of tribes) Nothing will really come of this other then a way to justify war in later ages. Hoever i will make sure that random events inside your nation will be effected by your government, as well will shifts in governments.

I would like you all to include what government you are in your orders.

Europe

In Russia, a system of government appears. The Russians have developed the first true government, which is based upon a hierarchy. The Hierarchy is a form of government with several steps of power which Russia has illustrated. These steps contorl differnt levels of governemnt and the country. This further helps the split of Russia into two seperate provinces. The Volga Empire adopts this Hierarchy plan. The economy grows and becomes Stable. Russia now has the best economy in the world, only equaled by that of the Volga Empire.

Germania funds farmers on the Danube. This boosts the economy. The Germans have worse things to fear however. The Danube tribes grows closer on the border and reports of border disputes erupt. Border citizens( a small minority) demand that something be done.

The Scandanavians continue to improve their armed rate of expansion. They now have the internal capability to summon up 3 farmers a year. The culture of Scandanavia also increases and now rivals that of an unknown land called Egypt. Scandanavia continues to expand towards the Vikings. The Vikings begin to worry.

In Portugal the first settlers pop across the river. Suddenly thousands crowded along the stretch of the northern shore spread across the southern river valley. This has angered the tribes living in the valley. They are weak but pose a threat. The economy of portugal blooms.

Greece ramins unchanged. The Macedonians continue to fear their neighbors to the south and have rallied more support.

Mid-East

Within Israel, markets bustle with activity. New goods from across Israel reach jerusalam. Israel continues to expand forcefully, subjegating the tribes around her. Meanwhile farming land begins to dwindle the farther from Jerusalam they get. The Israeliates despratly need a viable foodsource if they wish to continue growing.

Egypt remains idle.

The Hittite people move out of their now sacred caves and begin setting up tents across the countryside. This helps improve the Hittite way of life. The new tent villages spring up across the empire increasing trade and along with the recent conquests have enlarged the economy regardless of recent spending into tents. A MAJOR INNOVATION occurs in the Hittite lands. The philosophers and scholers turn the cave pictures into an early writing system. They are able to write their ideas down on clay tablets from the Sea to the North. The writing helps improve the trade and infrastructure so much it once again increases the Hittie economy. The Hittites are the only civilization with writing so far.

In Persia the farmers quiet down when they recieve slaves from newly conquered lands. The Persian Army runs over the weak tribes to the northwest.

Asia

Vietnam faces a crises. As the trade is broadened around the empire, the barbarians reach the gate. Many fear the tribes to the north and west. The barbarians pose a large threat to vietnam. They might very well be the end to the young Vietnam civilization if the leaders do not act quickly.

The city of Mohenjo-Daro springs up on the Indus River Valley. The city bustles with activity. The Indus river is very fertile and farmers can produce large amounts of food. If fully tapped it will rival that of the Scandanavian food system, the best in the world at the time.

Egypt lay dormant. For generations there had been no real Pharoah, only a title left vacant.
Egypt had been sleeping, but its dreams had been great.

Nobody knew how it happened, but one day there was a shift. Power returned, Egypt became a Hierocracy, and began advancing.
More temples and libraries were built. The Hierocracy had very few agreements on what to do, but those they did have included that temples=people worshpping=people with a sense of order and obeying. And libraries=people reading=smart people=better nation.

(Expand, increase culture and education.)
 
The Hitties had lived without a real government for centuries. They had several Kings but they were all tyrans. now a new dynasty had taken the control of the Hittite Empire. Mursilis was the First King of this new dynasty. His ancestors should reign the Hittites for the next centuries.
Mursilis decided to expand to the south, because he finaly wanted to sea the wonders of the mediterran sea. His men were very happy about him, because Mursilis told them all the day how great the Hittite empire was. They hadn´t met any other civilisations yet, but the King didn´t know how there could be a better civilisation. The culuture and the education of his people was world class in his time. But Mursilis wanted to trade with another civilisation. He had a dream about other civilisations in the south, north and even in the west.
The good economy of his empire caused the Hittites to built tents for culuture and education only! In these tents the wise men of the Hittites wrote down the storys of their time and always thought about new inventions. But they also sang and danced to ancient songs. There were national festivals, where whole communities celebrating till the end of the day.

Orders:
-grow education
-grow culture
-expand with 1/2 of the army south
-scout the Black Sea with my war rafts
-new government: Monarchy

(OOC: Are we allowed to trade yet? Because there is a special technology for trading in America...)

"Great rivers with many people living in peace in their mudbrick villages, fishing and farming the surrounding countryside"

The tales of the land to the Northeast were making many Persians wishful of seeing it. Thus, when the King ordered the biggest series of expansions to the Northeast ever, many were happy to join the army. Not only for the desire to see this mystical new land that was called Mesopotamia, but to please their king, who over the first few decades of Persian despotism had grown dear to the people.

- Increase economy
- Expand Northeast
 
Orders:
increase economy again
use military to expand to the north and to the east
tell the vikings to the North that we wish to be friends

The tribes to the east were threatening Portuguese dominace of the region. They had to be dealt with now, or else they could grow to become quite a nuisance.

ORDERS:
Crush the barbarians with army and then continue expansion to the east along the river, on both sides.
Grow economy by increasing fishing and trade along the river
 
civ 3: conquests = fun. but must do update. must play conquests. must do update!. AHHHHHH



Starting update
 
Europe

Russia becomes the worlds leading economic powerhouse. The Volga Empire coming in a close second. The economy of Russia is so good that people begin to develop better modes of transportation. The numerous roads running across Russia are used by foot travelers only. However sever "Wheels" have developed. These have quickly been turned into wagons. The army has also adapted them as Chariots. The Volgans to the South now fear an invasion. With the new Chariots also comes training for them. The Russian army becomes a grouped militia. Many scholers think that Russia could create a large workshop for chariots, that way all soldiers could use chariots, not just some.

The Germans develop a form of Heirarchy themselves. They base it off a social system. The King presides control, followed by the lords of the provinces. This is followed by the land-owners. The merchent and others are next. The farmers are on the bottom. This Hierarchy has developed Germany into a very productive society, but the lords start to think about power. A Danube incursion is meanwhile thwarted as their war rafts are destroyed at the loss of no german ships.

The people of Scandanavia remain confused on what their government is. Scandanavia finally expands across the mighty river, bringing more fertile land under their control. The Vikings to the north are forced to expand south along the river. The Vikings remain distrustful of the Scandanavians. They enlarge their enlistment and then their army twice. The Vikings now outnumber the Scandanavians on land and sea.

The people of Portugal are too confused on their government. The Portugease do not tolerate the Spainish to the east and immediatly launch attacks upon them. The Spainish are destroyed in the river. The Portugease army crushes all resistence around the river aswell. The barbarians however retreat to the near by mountains. They gather with nearby tribes, recovering from their losses.
PORTUGEASE LOSSES: 1 War Raft, 100 Farmers.

The King of Athens declares himself King of Greece. He sets up a system of which he has complete power over the lives of all greeks. This bothers most not however. The Greeks remain focused to the north as the Macadonians appear to grow more and more powerful. A new King known as Phillipe has amassed a large army and gained support from all around him. The Macadonians form into their own country. They are however made up of many tribes so the power is loose and they remain tribal.

Mid-East

Israel is inactive. People continue to hunger however. The lands to the east and west are said to be very fertile.

Egypt once again busels with activity. The new hierarcy of Pharoah, Priest, Governor, Merchent and Farmer takes good presidence over Egypt. The Egyptians build large temples across egypt, the largest one in Thebes, also the largest in the world. The new temples tell more stories to the people. The Priests begin to writelittle picture drawings along the temples. The Heiroglyphs are the second form of writing in the world. This is soon put into use in trade. The Egyptians are able to avoid their economy sinking after spending a lot on the temples.

The Hitties develop a form of Despotism. The King controls all.(closest to a monarchy.) As the learning, arts and philosphoical center of the world, the city of Hattusas grows to be even larger then Athens in the west. The Hittites are the most well-knowladged people in the world and begin to grow past their old religion, but of coarse can not lose it. As the Hitties spread the wisdom across the empire, they are able to learn the ways of Construction. People are able to build Huts now and many live in them greatfully. The great thinkers of Hattasus now want to build a Megalith in the center of Hattasus as a symbol of it's greatness.

Within Persia, the people accept the Emperor as their unquestioned ruler. The Persians begin to expand and farmers gain more crops.

Asia

Vietnam also develops Huts and the people are happy. Some even join the army now fighting the barbarians. (+100) The Vietnamease decide to attack the Henoi first. They are quickly destroyed on the sea by Vietnam war rafts at the loss of 3 vietnam rafts. The land battle goes diferntly however. The Vietnamease fight for every small encampment and village taking heavy losses. But they are able to secure half of the Hanoi villages and encampments. Meanwhile the Cambodians launch raids into western Vietnam, hurting the economy. The government is still unknown.
LOSSES: 200 Farmers and 3 War Rafts

Mohenjo-Daro remians unchanged.

Africa
The Morracans continue to dominate North Africa but begin to get strectched. They can go no further. Their only option is to try and land on the shores of Gibralter.
