Romae Delenda Est (Map Game)

Hello and Welcome to Romae Delenda Est, or Rome is to be destroyed. This is a new map game that will begin in 215 BC, immediately after the end of the Second Punic War in which Hannibal has achieved a great victory against the young Roman Republic. This map game is here to discover the enormous changes in history, technology, cultures, architecture, and life that would result from a Carthaginian Victory in the Second Punic War.

 "Alea iacta est" - The die is cast - Julius Caesar

POD
The point of divergence is in 218 BC, when Carthaginian Military Genius Hannibal crossed the Alps with an invasion army meant for Rome. In the crossing he lost men, elephants, siege equipment and moral, but manage to fight Rome victoriously until 214 BC, when he was was subject to the Fabian strategy of attrition and was forced to leave Rome to defend Carthage. In this timeline, Hannibal manages to get his siege equipment across the Alps and siege Roman cities, taking a great many of them and Establishing Land Dominance. He barely manages to take Rome, and even then he cannot hold it for very long. With Rome enjoyed naval dominance over Carthage for the duration, Scipio Africanus begins his invasion of Carthago Nova, the Carthaginian colony in Hispania, defeating Hannibal's brother. As both sides hold important territories, Hannibal calls peace with the Roman Acting Dictator Fabian, and gains new territories in Italy, while allowing Rome to gain some territories in Hispania. The world has changed. Everyone now knows Rome can be beaten.

215 BC
' Europe:  Hannibal returns to Carthage a hero, but little do his people know that the war was purely a stalemate with a great cost. Romes military Dictator Fabian steps down following the failure of his defense of Rome, Scipio Africanus returns to Rome from Hispania and it received well but Rome has suffered large scale destruction. Many of the Tribes in Europe such as the Iberians and Celtica have grown much stronger from the war between the two civilizations to the south. ''  With Carthage and Rome at each other's throats, many Romans, especially in the north parts of the nation, move south. Some also move to the Macedonian Confederacy, strengthening this stagnant Hellenic nation. '''

''' Africa: The Carthaginian power in Africa is significantly curbed as their loss of men in Italy has widely caused some outrage that many of these men, despite the victory were sent on a suicide mission. Many Carthaginians seeing the forming Cold War move towards Ptolemaic Egypt out of ancient ancestry, and others who worship the Pantheon of Greek gods, which is a small number leave for Greece '''

 Middle East:   ''' Ptolemy IV begins to curb Seleucid weapon shipments to Egyptian natives in Southern and Central Ptolemaic Egypt, The Seleucids suffer from Unrest in their Asian parts of the Empire frpm over-extension. '''

''' North America: Trade begins to flow between the semi-nomadic Shoshone, and the nomadic Chihuahua peoples. A trade outpost is founded between their territory. Called Agaidiaka, many settle there, and it becomes the first real permanent village in the region. '''

''' South America: A Stagnant farming community in South America resorts to subjugating many of the very small tribes in the area surrounding them turning them into tributaries of their growing city. '''

''' Asia/Oceania: The Qin Chinese although very promising are showing obvious issues as many of the oppressive techniques used by the Emperor has caused massive amounts of unrest just near the breaking point. '''

 Mauryan empire:   The emperor dies, and Salisuka, a Buddhist, takes power. He is liked better in the public then the previous emperor. The military grows larger, with a lesser focus on the navy. They notice the turmoil in the Asian Seculids, and ponder an invasion

Picts: A Caitian warlord known as Niall macGodric seeks to unify the fragmented Picts. His campaigns take him south and east, and much of his "warring" is accomplished through diplomacy, to where at the end of the year, the Picts have been unified. With the capital near OTL Wick, king Niall begins to build up military with an emphisis on metal weapons to combat the tribes to the south. Mining begins near Glasgow, and iron is discovered . Military is upgraded by 0.25.

'''You do not currently have the capability to mine iron. However, you can mine copper and tin, and only if it is very close to the surface. '''

Teotihuacan: Begins to expand Southwards. A vein of Bright, Yellowish Metal is discovered in a sacred cave, and, as it is soft, we begin to mine it out, after the High Priest declared that it is holy. Another vein was discovered in a normal cave, and this is mined out also. The sacred Metal begins to be used for the Priests jewelry, and the non-sacred is used as decoration on the emperor's palace, and others, as well as Jewellery for the rich. Another, harder metal is discovered in a deep Gorge, but we don't want to mine this yet, as we have no reason to. Army is upgraded

Yamato Japan: Begins to build up the military. Emperor Kōrei soon dies and is succeeded by Emperor Kōgen. A Palace begins to be built around OTL Toyooka, Hyōgo.
 * Korea: Asks for an alliance with Yamato Japan.
 * Yamato Diplomacy: Emperor Kōgen accepts Korea's alliance offer.

Macedonian Confederacy/Byzantine Empire: The King of the Macedonian Phillip and with close coalition agree that in order to facilitate a stronger nation and to prevent issues within the confederacy an Empire must in fact be created. Using a major Greek tradition and well off system they agree to Elect Phillip of Macedon as their Emperor on the condition that either the King, leader, or an appointed representative of every province form a Council to limit the power of the Emperor so he cannot heavily exploit the country like so many do. Issues on deciding on a city flare up but many agree that Byzantium should be the Capital of this new empire, and that with its strategic trade area, and its ability to be a massive port city are well received and Byzantium is made the capital. The Change into an Empire is expected to take about 10 to 20 years with elections for new Emperor to take place within the time period to decide the Ruling Family of the Empire. With thousands of Romans immigrating to the new Confederation/Empire they are given a new place in society to help establish and build the Byzantine Senate (The council) which with Roman expertise from the few senators that moved to the Empire would be best used. The ex-Romans all together are fully established in Byzantium in their own newly built district of the city. The Cities of Athens, Rhodes, and Pergamum are commissioned to build more ships for the Byzantine Navy. The former Roman soldiers in the empire are paid and commissioned to help explain how their military forces worked so as to either modify the Phalanx pikemen or create a new unit with will be a new addition to the Empire military ranks. '''Army score is upgraded to 1.75. '''And the military is expanded to include nearly 70,000 troops. Most believe it's a gross over-extension of the empire's resources but the threat of enemies to the north wins out and it's accepted. '''We begin to heavily influence Appolonia, and moderately influence Epirus and Pontus. Helicarnasus a Ptolemaic city is also heavily influenced using the Byzantines central and origin factor of Hellenic culture to influence them. '''Our section of the Mediterranean Sea is guarded heavily to prevent undesirables from reaching the European portions this patrolling and guarding goes all the way down to the unoccupied part of North Africa. The feasibility of a Joint, Greco-Macedonian colony in the unoccupied part of Africa is talked about for the coming years. The King of Macedon, Phillip begins searching for a wife and begins searching all throughout Macedon and the Greek cities.

Macedonian/Byzantine Dip: We ask for Appolonia to become part of the Byzantine Empire (RNG 1-4 yes 5 unused 6-10 7 no for now). We ask Epirus for a trade agreement as well as a military alliance, We ask the Ptolemaics and Seleucids for trade agreements and concurrent non aggression pacts.

 *Epirus D: Accepts alliance and trade agreement.

Ptolemaic Egypt: Accepts a non-aggression pact and Eastern Mediterranean Alliance to counter the growing power of Rome and Carthage.
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: We request a trade agreement with the Macedonian Confederacy.
 * Macedonian D: We agree

 Qart-ḥadašt Res-Publica (Republic of Carthage)  : Hannibal returns to Carthage and receives a great military parade, many believing he truly is the greatest general in the known world. Hasdrubal, Hannibal's brother becomes governor of Carthaginian Iberia, and he recruits local Iberians to be prepared for any Roman action in the new Roman Iberia. Mago, Hannibal's other brother. becomes Governor of Carthaginian Italia, recruiting local Gauls and Latins to replenish the departed Carthaginian Army. Trade continues across the Mediterranean as the Carthaginian navy continues to dominate trade. Iron plows, as well as other agricultural equipment is shipped to the Carthaginian colonies in the Iberian Peninsula to promote agricultural growth in the region. The two Suffets of Carthage, one of the Magonids and the other of the Massylians, are still wary of Hannibal and his boldness, but nonetheless congratulate him and help bring even greater prestige to the Barcid family. '''Hasdrupal sends two diplomats/generals into the Northern Iberian Tribes, to buy mercenaries. Mago buys many Gallic mercenaries but finds many Latins unwilling to aid him. '''Hannibal has a child after returning to Carthage with his Iberian wife, and he names the child Hamilicar Barca II in honor of his father. Expansion of the Carthaginian navy begins once more, with twenty Quinquereme's and twenty Galley's put into construction and are finished in a year and a half. We upgrade our navy by 0.25
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: Hannibal of Carthage wishes to discuss the terms of the peace treaty with the Roman Senate in a neutral location.
 * Hispanic Confederacy: The two diplomats/generals coming from Hasdrupal are killed and their money stolen.

Qin China: The emperor stops some major construction projects, including the construction of the royal palace and the Terracotta Army. Confucianism is not oppressed anymore, after the emperor accepted and followed some of his son's advice, although legalism is still held at the highest esteem. Books of out-of-date practices are burnt to stop it from misjudging people, while tricksters and con artists are executed. The Great Wall of China continues being built. Although it is changed to voluntary work with a higher salary then farming. This change is influenced by a small worker riot, which put that section of the Great Wall three months under par. The army is trained vigorously and the cavalry is trained to fight like the Xiongnu, Qin's greatest enemy. They are trained to fight like a migratory tribe, with a large emphasis on raiding and counter-raids. Also, they are trained on stealth and sneak attacks. The military advisers begins studying the use of infantry in cavalry warfare. A voyage is commissioned to go to Korea and contact the nation in Korea.
 * Korea: Asks for an alliance with Qin China.
 * Mauryan D: Asks for alliance

Korea: The Kingdom of Korea begins to prepare an expedition to go to Japan. We begin to build up our military.

Roman Republic: the Roman government agrees on the Carthaginian treaty. while this the military is built up and the Roman navy is upgraded by 0.25, Thirty Quinquereme's and 40 galleys are made, Fabian gives his power back to the senate, who in a surprising move choose Scipius as ruler of the Roman Hispania, knowing that it was him the one that in the first place gained the territory. While this the senate awaits for the meeting and offer it to be in Massalia, a closer Mediterranean nation. While this many man are recruited from Roman Italy and some Cisalpine gauls, While this exploration through the Venetian lands occur as some trading ships travel to the core of the Cisalpine gaul and Venetii lands through the Po river. 10,000 soldiers are recruited from southern Italy.


 * Macedonian/Byzantine Dip: We offer a large scale trade agreement now that the war is over.
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: We agree to holding the treaty in Massalia, and will send the two Suffets along with Mago to attend the meeting (Do the treaty in chat, talk page, or what?)
 * Make a page for it called the Treaty of Massalia, etc. It'll all go on a treaties page. &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk) 22:12, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Belgican Tribes: The young head man of a northern tribe conquers the other northern tribes and calls himself "The King of the Low Lands". He wants an centralised trade system and therefore, the economy is improved by 0.25.
 * Most of the Romain roads were not build in 215 B.C. and there were already very good reads in Gaul. I don't think that you would knows about Roman roads or need them. 

Selucid Empire: The Selucids begin building up there military and constructing roads across the country. W e begin fortifying our border with India, although we send an envoy to them stating it is only a precaution and we mean nothing offensive or aggressive by it. The Selucid ruler begins traveling across the country, encouraging greater unity among his people. We send an envoy to the Roman Republic asking for a trade pact and safe passage through Roman waters.

'''The Macedonians/Byzantines control this part of the Mediterranean... you have zero ways to reach them, you also have no way of trading with them without direct water access, or land access. If you asked the Macedonians I'm sure they would let you through. You also have no idea about an the Mauryans attempting any invasion. he said their leaders ponder it. It doesn't mean it announced to the world. you have no idea.'''

'''Christ! First turn and already most of someone's post is crossed out.'''

New Zealand: Sailors from Samoa and other Pacific islands land on an uninhabited island. Their numbers are a few dozen, mostly young adult men and several women. They had no records of this islands, though they didn't keep any records of anything, really. Several brave explorers search the place, wondering whose land they had stumbled upon. They found strange, wingless bird creatures, with tall necks and long legs. One explorer, Mosamo'ana, is the first to hunt and eat them. They call the birds "longnecks". They make plentiful food for the settlers. A small village begins construction on the island. Seventeen men are chosen to go and tell the people at their former homes about this place.

Proto-Finnish Tribes: A young man by the name of Aatu Aalto barely 20 begins a large campaign to unify the tribes. He manages to unite several in the east but in the west the frozen marshes make moving difficult. An envoy is sent to the Estonian Tribes of a trade deal and an alliance (1- in order to get Finnish furs in the East Baltic trade and ensure future aid against the Travatians and/or Karelians. Tin and copper deposits are found to the south and are mined in a small scale to produce bronze and give an edge against our Travatian and Karelian cousins (the military is improved by 0.25). The tribes begin expanding into the East into OTL Russia.
 * Estonian Tribe (RNG) Diplomacy: 10. They send your envoy's head back to you, tied to his saddle.

Hispanic Confereracy: The Hispanic Confederacy peacefully annexes the tribes in Hispania who were not in the Confederacy. We centralize the Confederacy, making our economy better by 0.25. The tribes next to Gaul are asked to fortify the mountains. '''Our navy score is lowered by 0.5 because we don't really have a navy. '''

'''Scores are mod lowered.. and you honestly have no reason to lower the score.'''

Celtic Tribes of Ireland:  The loose confederacy of tribes in the south and east plans an invasion of the north, wanting access to their valuable land. War wages for nearly a year and the South/East loose tribal confederacy leads his coalition to victory. The northern tribes are set onto their boats and set sail to the north as a sacrifice to the pagan gods. Little does the confederacy of tribes know. Most northern tribes would land in OTL Iceland in the early spring of 214BC, within the first year, thousands die as the people get acquainted with the territory. The confederacy's tribes have albins (elders/kings) and start a tighter confederacy bonded by the war against the now expelled northern tribes ( Upgrade economy score by 0.25) . The remaining tribes begin taking the land and homes of the old tribes. La Tene makes small advances into southeastern Ireland.

'''OOC: What are we allowed to upgrade our scores? and I presume they have to have a valid reason.''' It's in the rules 0.25 every other turn they are reset when you hit the next nation tier.

'''um - If wilster doesn't take a turn in three turns may I take Scandinavian tribes? Nkbeeching (talk) 19:00, August 5, 2013 (UTC)'''

Yes you may &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk) 22:12, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Ptolemaic Egypt: The Ptolemy pharaoh has a strange vision in a dream. In the coming weeks an ethnic Egyptian craftsman, Ramses Moses, is hired as the prime minister of Ptolemaic Egypt. He is recognized by modern historians as one of the most capable statesmen in the history of Egypt. The old land program was reformed. Peasant farmers have been given the right to own their land in exchange for military service, like the cossacks OTL. When the Nile floods the fields, all able bodied male villagers are enrolled in military schools. This program makes a standing army out of a poor rustic population. Egyptians serve in the army alongside Greeks, eliminating dependence on foreign mercenaries.(army + 0.25). Forts are built in Upper Egypt, Sinai and Eastern Lybia to secure our borders. We ask Carthage of a non-aggression pact for now. VX '''VX you may only upgrade one at a time. Please choose economy or army. You also can't influence me. I'm actually the center of Hellenic culture and there is no way you'd be selling grain to me either. We don't have a trade agreement. &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk) 19:29, August 5, 2013 (UTC)'''
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: We request that Carthaginian merchants be allowed into Egypt, and Egyptian merchants be allowed in Carthage for trade. And we also agree to the non-aggression pact.
 * Ptolemaic Egypt: We accept the trade agreement.

Welsh Tribes: The central tribe Welsh Tribe Ordovice is hit with a moderate famine and they decide to wage war against the northern tribe Deceangli. Fearing potential Ordovice invasion the southeastern Welsh tribe Silure and the southwestern Welsh tribe Demetae united to become Silurian-Demaetaean/Southern Union. Ordovice was victorious over Deceangli and the famine stopped. With the victory the Orthovician Chieftan thought he could unify all of the Welsh Tribes and invaded the northwestern tribe of Gangani. The Southern Union then declared war on Ordovice. Meanwhile, Ordovice and Cornovii had a short lived border dispute which gave time for Demetae to capture coastal Ordovicean cities and for Silure to push significantlly inland towards the Ordovicean capital. Soon Ordovice surrendered and The Southern Union formed the Kingdom of Brython.
 * Aoengic Kingdoms: We seek to trade with the remaining Welsh Tribes (Brython). We ask that if any of our northern rival tribes (those that lost the war), land in your region, that you sacrifice them to the Celtic dieties.
 * Brython: We accept the trade offer and accept the sacrificial request.
 * Breton D: We offer an alliance as well as trade.

Marksville Tribes: Guards are sent in the main cities of the territory, in order to get protected from invasions.

The Mayans begin expanding south and west, establishing cities and creating roadways to connect them. The expansion is spearheaded by the army, who is responsible for dealing with any resistant natives and scouting out easy pathways for the roads. Army is upgraded. The cities become more centralized, relying on each other more, and making more joint decisions.

Epirus: A guard unit from every tribe is organized. After losing to Rome in the previous Pyrrhic War, more men are recruited into the army (army + 0.25). A new confederate republic style of government is adopted, with leaders for each tribe elected, and a leader of the entire League elected by the tribal leaders. The Aedacide dynasty still retains their royal titles, however. We accept the Macedonian aliiance and trade agreement. However, all the Macedonian propaganda is made illegal in all three tribes. Appolonia is asked for an alliance and trade agreement.

''Army is strictly a TECH! score not related to the amount of people...if you change your reasoning...I presume you can upgrade. g greg e  (talk) ''

Britainia: The tribes merge to form a loose confederation any tribes that resist, are decimated using Roman style tactics. The Kingdom of Britania is declared. The military is expanded(army 0.25) The economy expands( economy 0.25)   (how does this 0.25 thing work?)

''You haven't encountered the Romans. Also you don't know Latin...just so you know, thus Britania is not really a plausible name. g greg e  (talk) ''

'''The concept of a kingdom or kings for that matter have not been introduced into the British Isles. The closest thing you can have to that is a Tribal Head Chief, who then cannot control all the actions of as many tribes as Britain had at this point in time. Britania is a Latin name for Britain, so that is not going to work. You are the British Tribes. Also, even if you had enountered the Romans, which OTL British Tribes did, they did nothing of the sort to adopt their tactics, or else they would've been utterly decimated. And you can only upgrade one tech per turn, and not consecutively. You can choose to upgrade your army or economy for this turn, nothing the next, and in two turns, upgrade again. You must also give a reason that is plausible for upgrading your techs, such as Rome's or Carthage's expansion of their navy through building specific ships. I'm not trying to berate you or be mean, I'm just trying to make sure we all get off to a great start, plausibly and within the rules. Thank you! Eiplec - ಠ_ಠ (talk) 00:23, August 6, 2013 (UTC)'''

The Germanian Tribes undergo a radical change, led by the Chief of the Marcomanni. He decides to attack a number of other Germanian tribes, uniting them by using superior stone weapons, and even using a few bronze weapons on his elite troops. Soon, he declared himself King of the Danube, from his capital city of Vienna. He has united most of the western Germanian Tribes. Taking the lead of the Marcomanni, and in fear of being defeated by them, the Chief of the Burgundiones, from Dresden, merges with Posen, and then unites the rest of the Germanian Tribes as the Kingdom of the Elbe. Both Kings look in different direction to expand - with Elbe focused on the Saxons to the North, while the Danube look the Alemani on the fertile Rhine River Valley. Army improves.

Pontus: King Mithridates II pondered over military reports and history. He has been awed by Rome and Carthage, especially Hannibal. This is why he wants to reform the whole army, not upgrade because it would easily exhaust its treasury. He also wants to safeguard the Pontic border against a massively enlarged Macedon. He first improves the supply lines by standarizing the tax according to business wealth, poorest pays lowest and richest pays most. He also standarizes the quota of farmers so that they could eat and be happy at the same time feed the state. With this, he starts to build walls around cities, especially Sinope and Pontus, and small forts in the frontier. In the army, his first act was to abolish the chariots. He hoards all the wood and metal to reform his army. By the end of the year, he has done a large job of reforming the army, and even though it is not yet in perfect condition, he manages to have 25,000 infantry and 9500 cavalry, mostly due to the big opportunities he created, like higher pay and more prosperous families. He also reformed most of the infantry by issuing them short spears, shorter than hoplites. But, they gained two javelins, a short sword for stabbing and the shields had a new, original design. It has a very slightly tilted, large diamond shield, making the new troops make a fully covered testudo, plus sides and back, with spears sticking out from all sides, like a phalanx. This way, it becomes very flexible and able to perform a testudo-phalanx. It also has overlapping scale armor, allowing for better movement and making it fast, able to move on very rough ground because it emphasizes team coordination and discipline over simply being a massed wall of pikes. He calls this new troop ''adamantoi. ''(+0.25 military) He also reforms the other parts of the army and changes the navy, scrapping the large ones to create smaller, faster ones, with a heavier ram. He also mass produces artillery, learning that it could be a mobile, independent harrassing unit.

New Zealand: Sailors from Samoa and other Pacific Islands land on an uninhabited island. Their numbers are a few dozen, mostly young adult men and several women. They had no records of this islands, though they didn't keep any records of anything, really. Several brave explorers search the place, wondering whose land they had stumbled upon. They found strange, wingless bird creatures, with tall necks and long legs. One explorer, Mosamo'ana, is the first to hunt and eat them. They call the birds "longnecks". They make plentiful food for the settlers. A small village begins construction on the island. Seventeen men are chosen to go and tell the people at their former homes about this place.

Kingdom of Illyria: The young king Pineus drives improvements in the reign, seeking to bring the kingdom to a new era of prosperity, for that reason seeks to repopulate abandoned agricultural areas (economy + 0.25), and at the same time make crops within the realm more profitable every season.

Middle East: Egypt has managed to secure its border against the Seleucids preventing further weapons shipment which were causing major unrest. Seleucid Empire suffers some Civil unrest in its Indian/Asian half due to the mass cultural differences.

North America: Many of the North American tribes have had good years and major population growth is felt. However, getting more food to supply these people will be an issue

South America: A marauding group of tribes which are constantly fighting each other spanning from Central America to Teotihuacan causing major issues to each areas respective farming communities.

Teotihuacan: Metal crafting grows in popularity. We respond in force to the brutal attacks, and send out the army. We continue to expand Southward. Selective Breeding of llamas begins, breeding for strength and speed. Some Jaguar cubs are found, after a hunter killed the mother. The hunter returns them to Teotihuacan, and trains them to do basic tricks. Impressed, the Warchief of the military orders hunters and warriors to collect as many jaguar cubs as they can. An extimated 500 jaguars are slaughtered, and the (average) three cubs per jaguar are taken by the military, and trained. The 500 that take best to the training are allowed to breed. the other 1000 are killed. It is expected that 24 years from now, we will have Jaguars as trainable as European dogs. (I know that the Teutihuacan don't know Europe exists. I am drawing a parallel.)

Proto-Finnish Tribes: Aatu Aalto manages to unite the eastern Finnish tribes and forms the '''Tribedom of Suomi. '''Aatu Aalto begins to strenghten the military significantly by organization. Bronze javelins and pikes become extremely common for chiefs and higher up warriors as bronze is still in shortage. Bronze begins to be produced far more than in previous years to catch up with demand. A permanent settlement is founded in OTL Segheza and is made into the capital. Slingers and javelinemen become far more common in the military as do pikemen as defensive squares and circles become a popular tactic and even the concept tamed bears released upon unsuspecting foes becomes popular, and Aatu Aalto demands that War Bears be bread to be smarter, larger, and stronger. Aatu Aalto prepares the military for a future campaign. Expands to the east farther.

The total military uner Aatu Aalto army of consists of 13,500:

 * Tavastian Tribes (RNG: 2): The tribes of OTL Estonia and north to the border with the Proto-Finnish agree to the vassalization of their tribes due to cultural similarities of their peoples and hopes that they can be afforded greater trade.

Mauryan Empire: The new Empire focuses on the military a lot more, and it continues to grow (we increase the army score by 0.25) He also focuses heavily on religion, and Buddhist temples are erected across the country. We begin to tame Indian elephants, with an idea that they could possibly be used in battle.

''No need to even begin to tame elephants because that was done 100 years before. Even before the Mauryan empire came to power, elephant warfare was already widespread in India. The kingdom of Porus on the Indus river used them extensively. Carthegene and Egypt have already many war elephants.'' VX

Macedonian Confed/Byzantine Empire: With lack of a better option as many cities lack a high level princess to offer King Phillip, He marries a high level daughter from Athens Archon solidifying his grip on a Naval and trade that Athens enjoys. Phillip does, in fact, however, marry off the daughter of one of his lords to the leader of Sparta in order to secure them as well. The goodwill Phillip is showing as well as mutual improvement throughout the confederacy begins to ensure the union of the cities of the Confederacy a bit more into a full blown empire in the near future. Phillip in the meantime continues the expansion of the Navy and allows for ships carrying in excess of 2000 people in one of the largest feats in history to re-inforce the Greek trading post into a full blown colony in Africa. The center of trade being established as a safe haven and neutral trading zone has allowed for the economic growth Phillip promised the Confederacy further gaining their trust. Following the marriage to the Athenian Archon's daughter she is pregnant with his child within months. Phillip officially makes Aridane of Athens (his new wife) the queen of the Macedonian kingdom proper and continues major inroads to improvement with the Greek cities so far as establishing more well built roads, and a dedicated and protected sea trade route to Rhodes, and the Anatolian cities. Phillip in order to prevent the Spartans from feeling more left out for getting a lesser marriage with Macedon is paid and focused on to help expand the cities facilities. Once more Appolonia is asked by not only Macedon but now Athens and Sparta to join the confederacy. The Confederacy begins to start seeing Dacian encroachment on Northern Macedonian provinces. '''We continue to influence Appollonia. Iron is created in small amounts. However, large scale smelting and manufacturing of iron has not been met and may not come about for another 30 or 40 years.

 Qart-ḥadašt Res-Publica (Republic of Carthage) : Hannibal travels to Carthaginian Iberia to meet with his brother Hasdrupal, where they both plan and gather two armies for attacking the Iberian Tribes, and one for defending Carthaginian Iberia. Mago travels from former Carthaginian Italia with his navy to stay and govern Carthaginian Sicily in a principal town of Ziz (Palmero) which his father, Hamilicar, held in the first Punic War many years ago. A small Carthaginian trade fleet is blown off course by a storm while traveling to a port controlled by a major tribe in Celtica, They land at a large island where the people are calling themselves the 'Aoegonic Kingdoms. The Carthaginian traders buy tin and copper, and some local weapons before leaving to return to Carthaginian waters so that they can boast on finding a new island called Aynook Celcia (The Island of Celts). They arrive and begin telling tales of lands so rich in tin and copper that it flows from the mountains, and that gold is just as prevalent, leading to much more trading contact with the Aoegonic Kingdoms. 'The armies of Hannibal and Hasdrupal each have:


 * 4000 Numidian Javelin Skirmish Horsemen.


 * 10,000 Libyan Spearmen.


 * 1000 Libya-Phoenician Heavy Calvary (Libyans who have adopted Phoenician culture).


 * 5000 Moorish-Numidian Slingers/Javeliners.


 * 2500 Iberian Swordsmen.


 * 2000 CeltiIberian Falcata Swordsmen.


 * 500 Lusitanian Skirmishers.


 * 2000 Celtic Swordsmen (Most of them are naked).


 * 1000 Celtic Calvary (Most of them are clothed).


 * 4000 Baeleric Slingers.

Total: 32,000 soldiers each. (These are provided from the pockets of Hannibal and Hasdrupal, and Mago has also lent each money.)

The Carthaginian Senate however, provides very little as they are suspicious of Hannibal and his brother due to both of their warring ambitions, but nontheless provide each:


 * 500 Numidian Javelin Skirmish Horsemen.


 * 1000 Libyan Spearmen.


 * 500 Moorish-Minidan Slingers/Javeliners.


 * 1000 Iberian Swordsmen.


 * 750 Balearic Slingers.

Total: 3750 each.

The brothers begin to plan their strategy. They plan that Hannibal shall go to Coimbria and siege the Iberian settlement there, and Hasdrupal will head to the settlement of Salduie (Zaragoza) and siege there. They shall have a force to defend Carthagian Iberia so that the land is closed to barbarian assaults while they siege. Once they have successfully taken the settlements, they shall travel to Vallisoletano and both siege that city. Once all the three sieges are complete, they shall offer peace to the Iberians. They both travel to their respective settlements where they surround the city, and begin to build siege engines. '''Hannibal recruits 1500 Iberian Swordsmen and 500 Iberian Skirmishers along the way due to his fame among the Iberians, while Hasdrupal is unsuccessful in recruiting any sizable number of mercenaries.

Southern Tribes (RNG: 10): The Southern tribes have decided they would sacrifice their children before they would join.

Iberian Confederation: We centralize more. We try to units Iberia under the Iberian Confederation and end the Cartagenian occupation of south Iberia, promising them to attack Carthage in the next decade. We send messenger in Rome explaining them that Carthage is making an army in Ibaria and may be trying to attack them. More fortification are build in the mountains. We ask an help from Gaulli Tribs (Aquitani, Cisalpin, Begican, and Celtic) for our expedition against Carthage. They have ten years to recruit everybody who want to come. We pay pirate to raid the Carthagenian siph next Iberia. We ask an alliance with Greece, explaining that we may stop protecting there two trading post in Iberia if they refuse and that they may have new traiding post if they don't.

Ptolemaic Egypt: The army continues to be reformed. Military service becomes compulsory for all able bodied male citizens. An irate war elephant damages the eastern wall of the palace in Alexandria; it is repaired and expanded. Temples are built. Reports of unrest come from upper Egypt. It appears that the disobedient Sudanese tribesmen have raided Egyptian villages once more. They attack rural settlements and flee with the booty before the army can get to them. Southern defences are strengthened in response. We send a delegation to Pontus and Seleucia asking them both for a non-aggression pact and trade agreement.

The Mayans continue expanding south and west, establishing cities and creating roadways to connect them. The expansion is spearheaded by the army, who is responsible for dealing with any resistant natives and scouting out easy pathways for the roads. The cities continue becoming more centralized, relying on each other more, and making more joint decisions.

Pontus: After two years, we have a much more strengthened economy. The extra moneyis used to build roads and the reform plan is continued. Mithridates starts to try to remove corruption from the government. We encourage child birth and employment. We encourage students to share fresh, new ideas to practice and analyze in war games and economic trials. We build more schools and hospitals (or whatever they called them before) to produce more productive people for the benefit of Pontus. Mithridates II also unveils the new artillery to his top generals and officials, to promote secrecy. Little details has been known, but it is said to be able to fire bolts and stones, and that it is small and mobile enough to hide and maneuver but big enough to do some real damage. It's a combination of a Lithobolos and a Ballista, made smaller with a bigger base to attach wheels, so it's easier to push them.

Selucid Empire: We build up our military and crack down on the unrest in the country, but the Emperor is killed in unrest, causing his son to take the throne, who favors peaceful defense and focusing on domestic affairs in order to strongly unite the people of all ethnicites and cultures in his lands into one nation, without the use of violence. The new Emperor asks the Macedonians for a trade pact and we send a message to Egypt offering a formal apology, as the new Emperor wishes to try and erase tensions. The new Emperor begins ordering construction of new infrastrucure and roads to connect the country. We begin paying attention to our eastern border and begin taking defensive precautions, ordering the construction of a line of forts along the border with pits between each fort. The Emperor also decides to begin constructing the same type of wall along the countries northern and southern borders as well, as to allow for greater defensive power. Construction of several trading fleets begins.
 * Egypt: We welcome the delegation warmly as a sign of improving relations between the two countries. We send eight camels and 20 oxen as a gift to the emperor.

'''Aoengic Ireland: Begins contact and trade with the Carthaginian merchants. '''acquiring many new weapons. Armed with these new weapons the kingdoms look to the east to gain even more lands. However, they currently trust and love the Welsh Brython. The leaders of the kingdoms begin to intermarry. Agriculture and hearing begins to increase. Copper continues to rise in use. La Tene continues to influence the irlish tribes. Small carvings begin on large stones. Elders are weary of the Cartheginians at first, and causes them to argue for further integration by each albain. Goidelic language begins to alter slightly.

Brythonian Diplomacy: We offer Aoengic Ireland an alliance and request aid in our war against the Picts.

Dubhshlain: Nearly 15,000 die in the first winter on their new lands. Another 15,000 in the second and food and fuel become harder to come by, driving further expansion by the residents as they search for food and fuel. Some copper and metals are discovered. And because of their past they do begin to utilize it in small amounts.

Welsh Brython Kingdom: With the Welsh Tribes unified into a kingdom we seek to unify the island and declare war on the Picts. 10,000 troops advance to the north to the Brython-Pict border and contront the Picts there (ALG). Because of the war, we upgrade our army score by 0.25. We allow Aoengic Ireland access through our country. Kingdom of the Danube: The Marcomanni-ruled Kingdom, from Vienna, is strengthened by the addition of the Alemani chief of the Tencteri. Quickly, the military of the Danube begin to fight to alongside the chief of the Tencteri, and the Alemanic peoples and tribes have been united. The Danubians, quick to help out their new allies and alligned friends, try to share their technology as an advanced tribe. The Alemani are organized into a kingdom, the Kingdom of the Rhine, and catch on to settlements, farming, and more advanced trapping skills. The cultures of the Alemani and the Germanians begin to mix. Meanwhile, bronze-making becomes much more popular, since bronze has been proven time and time again in the battlefield to be stronger than stone or wood.
 * Aoengic Ireland Diplomacy: We will send 5500 men to join in the buildup.  Many of which have newer weapons modeled on the Carthage weapons, or Carthaginian weapons themselves.  We start the war for the Pict-Brython borderland.

Kingdom of the Elbe: The Dresden-based Burgundiones, who rule the Elbe, is bolstered by the diplomatic marriage of the Varini chieftess, who then fights (from the east and south) to take the rest of the Saxon tribes. Once they are all united, which is acheived by the use of bronze over inferior stone tools, the Kingdom of Saxony. Since the Saxons are very culturally similar to the Germanians, the cultures begin to merge, as can be expected. Positive relations are established between the Four Germanic Kingdoms - the Danube, Elbe, Rhine, and Saxon Kingdoms.

Qin China: The emperor stops more major construction projects, except the Great Wall of China. Confucianism is not oppressed anymore, after the emperor accepted and followed some of his son's advice, although legalism is still held at the highest esteem. Books of out-of-date practices are burnt to stop it from misjudging people, while tricksters and con artists are executed. The Great Wall of China continues being built. Although it is changed to voluntary work with a higher salary then farming. The army is trained vigorously and the cavalry is trained to fight like the Xiongnu, Qin's greatest enemy. They are trained to fight like a migratory tribe, with a large emphasis on raiding and counter-raids. Also, they are trained on stealth and sneak attacks. The military advisers begins studying the use of infantry in cavalry warfare. We accept Korean's offer of an alliance and our fleet in Korea moves to Japan after hearing it from the Koreans. The emperor's son is released and the money saved from stopping the major construction projects are spent to study farming and agriculture, as well as building canals, which is done by soldiers, as a form of training, and by professional workers. Korea: Our military is up to 28,000 soldiers with several artillery peices. An experimental flame thrower is built that shoots out petroleum, that hits a torch, and burns things. Firebombs are made for our catapults. The King has a son and names him Lim Soug. Confucianism is the main religion in Korea with Buddhism and Taoism following. Farms are built, increasing food production and the livelyhood of the people in it.
 * Korea Diplomacy: We propose a joint invasion of Xiongnu and we split the nation, with Korea getting 100 miles inland from our border and Qin China getting the rest.

Celtican Tribes: Relations with Carthage improve as the Celts, during the Punic Wars, had allowed Carthaginian soldiers to pass through Celtican lands. Many powerful tribes, such as the Parisii and Senones, increase their militaries. The Petrocorii, in southern Celtica, increases its military as well, though they begin to set their eyes on the less-aggressive Aquitainians.
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: We request that Carthaginian merchants be allowed to sell their goods in your ports, and we will allow Celtican merchants in our ports to allow for better relations and improved economies for both our civilizations.
 * Celtican Diplomacy: Accepted

''' Europe: increased centralisation of many tribes has led to the formation of proto-kingdoms, or fledgeling kingdoms among some of the tribes putting them on track to possibly challenging one of the greater powers in Europe eventually. The War in The British Isles continues. The Vassalization of the Tavastian tribes leads to a greater Proto-Finnish influence in their general area. The Thracians launch a last ditch full scale invasion of the main mass of thrace attempting to take Byzantium and cut off Macedon from its Anatolian cities, and hence cutting the Confederacy in half. They are stopped less than 50 miles from Byzantium. The German tribes are growing increasingly powerful as raids on advanced frontier settlements independant of the larger nations has allowed the capture of men who know how to create more complex agriculture, and buildings. The Invasion of Iberia by Carthage has led to complication of co-operation between the tribes as they are under attack. However, dedicated tribesman remain behind the lines and harass Carthaginian supply lines mercilessly. The relations between the Germans and Saxons improve due to the Marriage between the two. Faced with starvation after a year and a Half Appollonia is forced to capitulate to the Macedonian confederacy '''

''' Africa: The Carthaginian cities under the control of the leaders of the Iberian invasion suffer a minor economy slump as funding for the expadition was taken directly from personal funds of their leaders and to some degree the city itself. The Egyptian economy encounters a large scale revival following trade with much of its neighbors being conducted. '''

''' Middle East: Egypt and the Seleucids have a medium grade tension decrease as a new peaceful emperor and the Egyptians reconcile to a certain degree. The Seleucid empire still has minor unrest but it seems to be quieting down. The Parthians and the Bactricians go to war following a minor diplomatic dispute but they are evenly matched and not many gains are made. '''

Macedonian Confederacy: 



Following The complete conquest of Appollonia and the Invasion Thracia currently under way 10,000 troops are left in the Newly conquered territory with almost 40,000 troops marched north to Deal with Thracia at the defensive line. The Battle is fought to force them back deep into Thracia (algo soon) With Reccomendation from the Spartans, King Phillip manages to field a second army of 20,000 to go around the Thracians and is meant to push deep into their territory and seize it accordingly. The army is upgraded to (2.0) with the upgrading of many weapons into low to medium grade iron weapons. The Colony in Africa Expands as mainly people with skills that cannot be easily used on the mainland are being applied to the expansion of the city. The Navies ships are continually built in order to expand the navy heavily. The increased trade with multiple nations has allowed for the expansion of immediate benefits and rebuilding for the city of Appollonia and it is given the same rights and responsibilities as one of the other Greek Cities. The transition into an Empire is continued and is expected to be completed in the next eight to ten years. '''War is declared on Thrace Causi Belli: Unjustly Attacked. Objective: Conquest.. No stability change.''' The First battle near Byzantium throws the Thracians into complete disarray as the Second army begins the Assault of the Thracian Settlement and Capital of Tylis. This battle is Also Successful and the Thracians are thrown into the Northern half of Thracia into Campus Getae (its one of the Tribal cities) Due to their organization and numbers and Estimated 22,000 Thracian soldiers are left as the Macedonians military stops at the River Erecting defenses to prevent their crossing. The New aquired Territories are immediately integrated into the Confederacy and Tylis under its New Governer appointed specifically from king Phillips most advanced tiers of government immediately frees the City of much of its Tribute while its rebuilt, The city is also rebuilt and Grain reserves are released to ensure that the native thracians are not hungry. many of the Tribal settlements are allowed their own systems to remain in place with the exception they must report to the Governer in Tylis. The Thracians under Governer Ephialtes of Thessalonica are allowed to resume much of their lives as normal and their religeous traditions are not violated. Many of the Thracian warlord and leaders are quite impressed with how the Macedonians handled themselves in battle especially with their Spartan and Companion Cavalry. This prompts some of the Thracians to challenge these men in a competition in Wrestling and Riding. This serves to allow Thracian integration into the confederacy much faster.

 Qart-ḥadašt Res-Publica (Republic of Carthage) : The Iberian cities of Coimbria and Salduie are captured, Coimbria by Hannibal and Salduie by his brother, Hasdrupal. They each leave 10,000 of their soldiers, who are reinforced by 2500 Greek Hoplites mercenaries, in each city. The soldiers left as garrison help in rebuilding the cities from the siege, and the Iberian mercenaries from each army share their rations with some of the local populace. As Hannibal's and Hasdrupal's armies march from their recent conquests, their scouts bring back reports of an Iberian army ahead of them. They consider strategies, and settle on setting up a defensive position along the Duero River near Vallidoid. From there, they will send skirmishers to harrass the army, and hopefully cause them to come straight towards the Carthaginian armies. In order to combat the recent economic slump from the fighting in Iberia, the major port cities of Carthage begin to adopt a policy where they will only export and import if their exports will bring more gains than their imports will be paid for. This leads to increased exportation to the Macedonian Confederacy, Ptolemaic Egypt, The Kingdom of Pontus, and Aynook Celcia (Aogenic Kingdoms). Trade relations grow between Celtica and Carthage as exportation of Carthaginian goods such as silver, dyes, and some Carthaginian armors. Mining of silver continues in Carthaginian Iberia, as well as increased transport of iron plows and other agricultural equipment.

In doing so, however, the Rhine is indebted to the Danube, effecting a similar situation than vassalization. Likewise, the Kingdom of the Elbe allows the Kingdom of the Saxons to be free, but, again, they owe the Elbe a debt now. The Rhine begins to vassalize the Helveti of the Swiss Alps. (Mod). The Danube attempts to vassalize some of the Cisalpine Gauls begin. (Mod) (Note: Not the whole green area, just the area to the east of the Po). The Saxons begin to vassalize the Old Prussians. (Mod) Bronze becomes much more commonplace, with almost all real warriors using bronze to replace their stone tools. A farming application for bronze has been found, allowing for better crop yields. Cultural mixing of the Germanian, Alemanic and Saxon cultures continue, and by 200 BC they will once again be culturally united. Economy improves.

To upgrade them, you must provide a specific, plausible explanation, such as adding a specific number of specific type of ships to your navy, recruiting a specific number of a specific type of soldier into your army, etc. And Carthage probably couldn't send a soldier on land to help, but it is possible that the Carthaginian Navy could aid Pontus if they so chose Eiplec - ಠ_ಠ (talk) 10:52, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Pontus:  The tour and programs go superbly well and the army is now drilling, parading and doing wargames through the benefit of the new, bright students of the new military schools to increase discipline and command. The navy is being practiced in naval wargames and we withdraw the 10,000 troops from Macedon, since the war is over. They are now being refitted and readied for an invasion of Galatia, only some of the hardened Galatian troops are involved due to their possibility of defection. The cities are finally nearing completion of the creation of their walls, and Mithridates uses the large funds from the treasury to secretly bribe Galatian governors, hire mercenaries and stockpile weapons. Meanwhile, the roads and food supply are being strengthened to increase supply and Mithridates gives a speech about being a "Defender of Hellenism".

 * Pontic D: It's alright, we'll take care of the bulk of the invasion.
 * Macedonian D: The 8000 troops for Western Galia is still open Pontus.
 * Pontus D: So how about this, Macedon takes that bulging western area, Egypt takes the small southern provinces while I take the North and Eastern to give me a complete land border with Armenia and a land border with the Seleucids.

​Brython Kingdom:With the vassilization of the Pictish tribes and the wedding of Aeongic and Brython nobles  we have a massive Celtic Celebration across the Brython Kingdom. The people begin to settle down and establish more port cities and already existing port cities continue to sprawl. One city in particular, Cardiff, grows so large that it is declared the Brython capital. We reach out to trade with Carthrage and other kingdoms near Brython (OTL France, Belgium and the Netherlands.)

Four Germanic Kingdoms: The culutral mixing between the Saxon, Germanian, and Alemanni tribes continue, and is almost finished. The Rhine continue vassalization of the Heleveti. The Old Prussians also continue to be vassalized. Bronze becomes much more commonplace, with almost all real warriors using bronze to replace their stone tools. A farming application for bronze has been found, allowing for better crop yields. A project to breed the greatest dog in history begins. Ideally, it will be as tall as a Great Dane, as stout as a mastiff, and as vicious in combat as a wild wolf.

Korea: We agree to Qin China's request and stand down. The army upgrades by 0.25 after a new ballista is built that can fire three darts before reloading. The king orders the construction of a defensive wall between Korea and Xiongnu. It will have guard towers every mile and be built of stone. The Mayans continue expanding south and west, establishing cities and creating roadways to connect them. The expansion is spearheaded by the army, who is responsible for dealing with any resistant natives and scouting out easy pathways for the roads. The cities continue becoming more centralized, relying on each other more, and making more joint decisions. Trade with the Zapotec and Mixtec continues.
 * Korea Diplomacy: We ask Qin China to buy stone.

Kingdom of The Low Lands: With the newly recruited swordsmen, horsemen and archers we attack the southern tribes. They have no time to group and so they get beaten tribe by tribe. '''I dont't need a algo for this right? Cause there wasn't a real battle. '''Every tribe get's a couple of observer/ peacekeeper until the peace returns. the army is upgraded to 1.25 because we now have a standing army.

Supplies are sent by the Carthaginian Senate to aid the Roman armies, which deeply angers Hannibal who retreats to the palace in Carthago Nova for two days without leaving and only allows Hasdrupal in for those two days. Hannibal's son, Hamilicar Barca II, arrives at Carthago Nova where he begins tutaledge under his father as Hannibal did his.
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: The Iberians are sent an envoy from Hannibal himself in which he calls for peace, declaring the Iberian army at Carthago Nova destroyed. The Envoy gives a list of demands to the Iberian leader which are as following:
 * The cities and surrounding land of the two Carthaginian sieges of Iberian land will become part of Carthaginian Iberia.
 * Prisoners from both sides will be returned free of harm.
 * Should these terms not be accepted, Carthage shall siege and take every Iberian city until every general, captain, and chief is crucified.

Byzantine Empire: Following eight years of trust, comraderie and success King Phillip declares the transformation of the Confederacy into an Empire complete. The Associate Greek Cities, Macedon and now Thracia with its few new senators in the Senate agree that Phillip will be the king of this new empire and just as before will be limited to some degree by the Senate to prevent harmful or dicatatorial control over the empire. Phillip agrees and knows he must ration his support in Greece and now Thracia as it will most likely be finite for years to come. However instead of instilling Macedonian dominance across all of the new Empire, Phillip allows for a mixing of the cultures to continues just as Alexander the Great wouldve liked. King Phillip also declares that while cities may maintain their militias and their own Garrisons for protective purposes the Army will be made up of Professionals who are paid, and will be rewarded with citizenship if they don't already have it, This force is to equal current numbers and is to remove an over reliance on Mercenaries. With the Capital of this new empire in Byzantium many construction projects are carried out including a massive defensive project aimed at increasing the defenses of the city into a multi layered and multi tiered grouping of fortifications. The project it to be undertaken on the Anatolian side first with the European side to be done at a later date due to the cities more protected European side. The trade going between Carthage and Pontus and due to the taxes and payments of going through the straits. significantly boosts the income and markets of the city Increasing the (Economy to 1.75) The Thracian territories are continually integrated and the use of Greeks as part of the occupation such as Spartans and Thessalians as well as the mild manner in which the people are treated, the many normal people of the new provinces of North and South Thracia are beginning to get a better outlook on the Byzantine empire, and its Greek and Macedonian founders. The men that were previously of the Thracian army that respected they way the Macedonians and Greeks fought begin to sign up for the local Thracian garrison in Tylis and are under the Training and Tutelage of Spartans, getting a deep respect and education in the new Greek culture, as well as top grade military training. '''The Greek Colony in Northern Africa Expands as Thracians are encouraged to help bolster the numbers and help mesh the Cultures of the three Societies in a small way in the colony. The population has expanded to almost 5000. '''The population now including Thracia reaches just above 5 million.

Roman Republic: the Consul decide that it is time, a war declaration occurs to the cisalpine gauls, and in a unexpected event we ask the Carthaginians to aid the Roman armies, in exchange Rome would aid in any future war the Carthaginians may start. 25,000 soldiers are drafted to the war in a miraculous event, 10,000 are veterans of the war against the carthaginian Republic, and the rests are recruits or Mercenaries from the Roman nearby vicinity. from southern italy, Corsica and sicily.

By now most of central and lower Meroe is overnrun by Ptolemaic and allied forces. Most of the countryside is under control although a few pockets of resistance still remain. Napata is occupied. A great quantity of gold and other metals is found; these are used to replenish the treasury. Meroe is heavily influenced by the Ptolemies. The local people are not harmed, aside from rebels. Cities and villages are rebuilt due to the war damages. The Egyptian agricultural system is introduced. It is predicted that in two years Meroe is to be assimilated as a province of Egypt proper. The mercenaries and Seleucids cavalry are payed a modest sum and they are allowed to return home. We send a caravan with gifts for the emperor, thanking him for helping us. A canal bypassing the cataracts is beginning to be built. The project is abandoned for now due to lack of funds. Petra and the Arabian tribes begining to be moderately influenced. Loyal Nubain nobles are appointed civilian governors of new provinces. Greko-Egyptians are military governors. Army is upgraded because iron weapons are used more frequently. (army +0.25)

Mauryan empire: The revolts are tried to be repressed peacefully, offering a change in policy to there liking. In reality, the military is ready to invade if this fails. The tiger program continues, and with the first young, some desirable traits are seen, but they need vastly improved

Yamato Japan: The palace continues to be built around OTL Toyooka, Hyōgo. Emperor Kōgen accepts Korea's offer to help liberate the rest of Japan.

Celtican Tribes: The wars against Narbonesis continue as the situation in the Volcae region is settled. A second wave from Averni, composed of roughly 20,000 soldiers, seperate from the warriors that attacked Volcae, attack the Allobroges and Vocontii. Should this attack succeed, central Narbonesis will be surrounded on all sides. The Carthaginian weapons are put to good use against the Narbonesians. Meanwhile, Venetti ships, notable for being large and sturdy, arrive to put pressure on the coasts. Roughly 1,000 warriors arrive in Volcae while an additional 1,500 land along the Narbonesian coast.

Kingdom of Illyria: The young King Pineus organice a fleet to patrol all the Adriatic Sea, and secure the kingdom. Also improve the military (army 0.25)

Four Germanic Kingdoms: The culutral mixing between the Saxon, Germanian, and Alemanni tribes continue, and is almost finished. It is going faster than ever expected. The Rhine continue vassalization of the Heleveti. The Old Prussians also continue to be vassalized. Bronze becomes much more commonplace, with almost all real warriors using bronze to replace their stone tools. A farming application for bronze has been found, allowing for better crop yields. The dog breeding project continues. Army improves.

Scythia: '''We ask for an alliance with the Byzantine Empire and Carthage. ''' Our nation begins to centralize as locals are called out by scouts within our official borders, new settlements towns and settlements are being built in order to do so. Explorers are sent to the north where they have created small settlements near our border. Most of which just have small huts, along with blacksmiths, iron works, farms, and an armory. The OTL Russian provinces of Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh, and Saratov have been partially (Southern Parts) colonized and claimed as part of Scythia and the OTL Belarusian Province of Gomel has also been partially colonized. Shipyards have been setup along the coastline creating both civilian and military vessels. Our infrastructure improves as roads are being created, allowing easier travel across Scythia. An explorer is sent to the Bosphurus Tribes in order to talk with tribe leaders for future peace between our kingdoms. (RNG). Because the Bosphorus Tribes have killed our explorer, our nation calls out for blood to avenge our brave wanderer. A declaration of war was soon made (Causi Bell: Political Blunder -1; Objective: Conquest +4; Stability loss of 3 ). About 6,000 troops have been called out to capture the OTL Provinces of Crimea (Algorithm to be Made), and the Bosphorus Tribes in the OTL Caucasus Region (Algorithm to be Made). After their capture, we will include them into our kingdom to expand our borders and sovereignty.

Aoengic Kingdoms: Complete Vassalization of the Manx tribes. As pre-described, troops are trained and mobalized for an attack on the Breton tribes at the Brythonic's world. Manx agriculture is prepared to supply, and Pict supplies and soldiers are rounded up in preperation. Trade continues with Carthage. Continues to try to make own weapons similar to those of Carthage, while improving, still are not nearly as great. Tin, Bronze, and copper begin to be more regullary minned. Ulliad expands its union with the western Cruthian kingdoms of the Picts. La Tene continues to rise, inscriptions and stories are begining to be carved into stone, but primarily oral history is still the MO.

Dubshlaine: Continues to stabilize as a community, continues to adapt to the cold tempuratures. Small expansion westward continues. Old and Sick still fall dead in the winter, but even more are adapting. Facination with the sea takes place in one of Vercintorix's sons. Vercintorix falls ill again, but appears to make another recovery in the late winter.

Kingdom of The Low Lands: The Southern tribes are ok with the new situation and vassalization. The military is indext and now counts 5600 undisciplined tribesman, 700 trained swordsmen, 300 trained horsemen and 500 trained archers. New roads are being build and a campaign in the kingdom for national unity is being enacted.

Qin China: The emperor stops more major construction projects, except the Great Wall of China. Confucianism is not oppressed any more, after the emperor accepted and followed some of his son's advice, although legalism is still held at the highest esteem. Books of out-of-date practices are burnt to stop it from misjudging people, while tricksters and con artists are executed. The Great Wall of China continues being built, although it is changed to voluntary work with a higher salary then farming. The army is trained vigorously and the cavalry is trained to fight like the Xiongnu, Qin's greatest enemy. They are trained to fight like a migratory tribe, with a large emphasis on raiding and counter-raids. Also, they are trained on stealth and sneak attacks. A secret force of 3000 cavalry force attacks the Xiongnu tribe with their goal is to burn as much sheeps, Xiongnu tents and grass as possible to stop Xiongnu from getting enough power to improve their army to attack China. The military advisers begins studying the use of infantry in cavalry warfare and discover they must be used like the OTL dragoon, cavalry that can dismount and defend barracks from cavalry. We sail back to Fuzhou and resupply. The emperor's son is released and the money saved from stopping the major construction projects are spent to study farming and agriculture, as well as building canals, which is done by soldiers, as a form of training, and by professional workers. The first major iron mill is built in Shanxxi(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron#Cast_iron, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_iron#History). Our army reaches 100,000 proffessional with We buy stone from Korea and we use it to make a monument to celebrate the friendship of China and Korea.

Brython: With an established capital, sprawling port cities, and decent trade we decide to declare war on the Bretons in order to unify the Island once and for all. We mobolize 10 thousand troops and hire 5,000 Pictish consripts and invade the Brython-Breton border. Vassalization of the Pictish tribes and trade continues.

Pontus: Mithridates gives a last speech to his people, saying that as a descendant of Megas Alexandros and Cyrus the Great, they have the duty to invade and integrate other countries, but saying that the people must treat the Galatians with equality and respect, because they are "lions led by sheep." In private, Mithridates wants to assert hegemony on whatever is left of Asia Minor that's not under the other Hellenistic powers. He commences the Galatian invasion. The artillery stationed at the mountains inside and at the border of Galatia open fire, smashing supply routes, breaking up large formations, and breaking down walls. The Galatian chiefs that Mithridates bribed (algo pls.) opened the doors to the Pontic army and surrendered their garrisons to them. The garrisons joined the Pontic army after promises that they would be treated with respect, that their families would be safe, and that they would have the same weapons and training as the Pontic Galatian soldiers, except that some would be turned to heavy infantry. The mercenaries that Mithridates hired, mostly Armenian cataphracts, deserters acting as heavy swordsmen, and heavy infantry join the invasion. He also sends 16,000 of the Pontic army to join: The main army were to bypass stronghold and get to the capital, leaving only small forces to guard fortresses. As the artillery smashed the supply lines, the cities started to surrender after the guards offered food if they surrendered. The people were treated kindly. The main Pontic army converged on the capital, where the King was drawn out due to smashed supply lines, and due to his slight numerical supreriority. The Pontic army formed up. The missile troops were at the back and front of the main army. The light infantry and sparabara were positioned at the wings of the center, lengthening the Pontic line. The cavalry at the flanks, except for the mounted missile troops, with the cataphracts at the right flank. The artillery were at the mountains around the capital. The adamantoi were stationed behind the light infantry, while the rest of the heavy infantry were at the center. The battle began when the horse archers and horse javelinmen cantered forward and started shooting at the army, mostly at the flanks, intending to lure the cavalry. When they charged due to the mass of comrades dying around them, the horse archers retreated and fired at the enemy infantry. Ass the enemy cavalry charged full speed, its light cavalry faster than the others, they were met by the Pontic heavy cavalry, which routed them. The Cappadocians smashed into the Galatian heavy cavalry, beating them due to the Cappadocians being more heavily armored. The same happensa at both flanks, only that the cataphracts charged into the enemy missile troops, ignoring the archers that bounced off their armor and sent the missile troops to flight. Both cavalry then started to go for the backs of the center. As the horse archers kept up the firing on the center, the artillery and foot archers and javelinmen opened fire on the center, the artillery doing great damage due to them packed together. When the enemy center charged, it was hampered by the uneven, churned ground. It allowed the missile troops to hide and escape behind the infantry and continued to fire from there, and they stopped when both centers clashed. When the center, now disorganized, charged into our center, our longer lines allowed the light infantry and flexible adamantoi to turn inside, squeezing the enemy center. A timely cavalry charge to their backs finally destroyed and routed them, the cavalry chasing down the routers and CAPTURING, not killing them, as Mithridates wants the Galatians to love him, and it will start with them seeing their husbands alive. The Pontic army enters the now defensless capital of Galatia. The Galatian king is killed, either during the battle or during occupation. After that the remaining Galatian territories were captured due to promises, kindness, and smashed supply lines. This war was led by a fresh young talent from the reformed military, one Alexander Nikephon. Mithridates immediately orders the re-construction of buildings, roads, everything that the Pontic army destroyed. He also keeps the mercenaries, offering them regular pay and a regular enrollment into the Pontic army, which they accpet dur to the high pay. Mithridates also begins a program called "Reconciliation, Submission, Integration", which I will explain next time since I don't have an algo for this war yet. We also upgrade the navy, entirely replacing the ships with those that I said a few turns ago (+0.25 navy)

'''Europe: The Bosphurus tribes have fallen but Scythias new borders on the sea leaves them wondering if they will ever be able to exploit the area as a greater power could. Continued resistance occurs there as well with many hit and run raids.

North America: The Tribes continue much of their pre civilized state and not much progress has been made, however inklings of a civilization begin to pop up around Black hills.

Byzantine Empire: King/Emperor Phillip appoints One of Spartas leading Generals, the General who led the invasion of Thracia, and a Rhodesian and Athenian Admirals respectively to his War council as well as some of other minor advisors. This council wars not to get directly involved in any more wars and Phillip reluctantly agrees even after seeing his success. The Thracian provinces are continually integrated and their cultures meshed due to semi similarity to Greek culture and hence a gateway to Hellenistic Culture. The Navy is continually built up as Rebel and rougue ships have been spotted raiding just south of Byzantium a Major trade route, this is done to counteract them. The Army is continually upgraded and many of the Men who were in fact slaves sent to fight on behalf of a master are Freed due to the new "Soldiering Citizenship" laws, which allow any man joining into the proffessional army be free of slavery. The Defences of Byzantium are continually upgraded and built up as the First two Levels of a Scheduled 5 Layers defence is to be completed. Even the Ports are to be upgraded with defences such as the possibility of a Large Chain being strung across the two halves of the city to prevent and would be attackers from moving throught that way to attack. '''The City of Halicarnassus with Byzantine Trade being highly predominant there begins to be influenced. '''The Empire continues its attempts at modernizing and upgrading many of its new territories with Appolonia being fully rebuilt and then some to make up for the war, as well as Campus Getae, now just Getae being made into a full City of Thracia. The city of Getae is small only about 10,000 people following the war, but many people seeing the benefits of working in this area move here including Thracians, Greeks and Macedonians.

Qart-ḥadašt Res-Publica (Republic of Carthage): Due to the failure of an Iberian response to our demands, Hannibal's and Hasdrupals armies merge to create one, which moves to siege the Iberian settlement of Valladolid with 51,000 soldiers under both of their commands, and 5,000 soldiers left to defend Carthago Nova. Hannibal and Hasdrupal march to the city of Vallisolid as they had planned before. They bring along catapults and have their army wait outside the settlement under the cover of the forest. As night comes, all the catapults fire upon the city, and volunteer soldiers do not have to charge forward to chop part of the palisade wall down as two catapults hit lucky shots that bring down a section of the wooden wall. Baeleric Slingers and Skirmishers move to engage the Iberian forces that have gathered at the breech. They provide a continuous stream of missiles against them to give cover to the Libyan Spearmen and Iberian Swordsmen who charge upon the Iberian line. Success is made quickly and the breach is taken. Hasdrupal leads his Calvary group which are successful in flanking a wall of Iberian soldiers that had moved to slow the Carthaginian army. In all, minimum casualties have been taken, and the flag of Carthage rises as the siege ends. Work is completed in repairing the wall, and occupation of the city begins, with the army so large that some soldiers are forced to camp outside its walls. Hannibal sends his envoy with the same demands to the Iberian tribes, with no changes even though he occupies another city. Ptolemaic Egypt: The temple in Jerusalem is built to applease local Jews. Napata and other cities damaged during the war are repaired. Roads are built to connect the new provinces with the rest of Egypt. The canal bypassing cataracts is almost complete by now. Gold mines are opened and they greatly contribute to Egypt's wealth. Also trading exotic animals from Africa becomes more lucrative. Live war elephants are captured near the border and taken to Akexandria to be traded. The cities of the Anatolian provinces are fortified. Each port has giant mirrors and catapults that can bombard any ship who comes close enough to the port. The borders and ports of this region are especially tightly controlled. We monitor the traffic that goes in and out. Timber forts are built in upper Meroe.
 * Byzantine D: We ask for an expanded trade deal for out ships to be allowed further reach and trade oppotunity as well as for more readily available Byzantine goods in Carthaginian territories.
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: We accept the increase in trade and direct the merchant ships towards the recently reconqeured Carthago Nova, citing plundered goods, silver, and purple dyes.

austarilian tribes:begins to improves technologly begins to expand

The Mayans continue expanding south and west, establishing cities and creating roadways to connect them. The expansion is spearheaded by the army, who is responsible for dealing with any resistant natives and scouting out easy pathways for the roads. Army is upgraded. The cities continue becoming more centralized, relying on each other more, and making more joint decisions. Trade with the Zapotec and Mixtec continues.

Four Germanic Kingdoms: The culutral mixing between the Saxon, Germanian, and Alemanni tribes continue, and is almost finished. It is going faster than ever expected. The Rhine continue vassalization of the Heleveti. The Old Prussians also continue to be vassalized. Bronze becomes much more commonplace, with almost all real warriors using bronze to replace their stone tools. A farming application for bronze has been found, allowing for better crop yields. The dog breeding project continues. Since cultural unification isn't far away, talks of uniting begin to gain some traction.

Celtican Tribes: The invasion of Narbonesis continues to go well. With the fall of Vienna, the Allobroges tribe withers over the course of the next few years. Warriors that had sacked Venice, along with an additional 10,000 warriors of Celtican origin, begin a seige on Massilia. Veneti warships bolster the invasion force as 2,000 additional men, roughly 30,000 warriors in total, swarm the Salluvi region. Displaced Allogroges and Vocontii troops fall back to the Salluvi region to make a final stand at Massilia.

Pontus: The process of "Reconciliation, Submission, Integration" is making great progress. Galatia is being re-constructed that it's almost becoming like Pontus. Due to prestige and speeches, Pontic and Galatian people are equals and Galatian people are migrating to Pontus and vice versa. This mixes the cultures of the two peoples and prevents revolt. As Galatia is being beautified and standardized, the economy booms with the population, income, and economic growth, as well as increasing the revenue. On the army front, parades by Galatian troops have helped make the Galatians believe that they will really be treated as equals, same rights, same respect, same possibilities, that Pontus can protect them, and that their families can be fed and not be treated as slaves. After this, Mithridates launches a large recruitment drive, not conscription, by touring Galatia and showing off the Pontic Galatian army in all its might, and allowing Galatian troops to talk to possible recruits about the pay, privileges, etc. of joining the army. This proves to be successful and the army soon fields 35,000 infantry and 13,000 cavalry, combining the recruits with the former mercenaries and deserters. (+0.25 army)

Kingdom of The Low Lands: The military improves and the roads are ready and are used for trade and messaging'''. (exonomy +0.25)'''

203 BC
<u style="font-weight:bold;">Europe: Rome Has Secured new territory to the great Jubilation of its populous. Carthages rampage against the Iberians forces them to accept the diplomacy however the city most recently seized is demanded back before the populous revolts and causes further issues between the Iberians and Carthaginians. Scythia seizes OTL Crimea and surrounding areas however mounting aggression of the populous and the relative spread of Scythian population across their territory is causing logistical issues. The Byzantine Empire, and the Roman Republic suffer sporadic raids by a group of Pirate/Independant ships intent of getting their monies worth out of the area before moving elsewhere in the medditerrenean. The Saxons begin to suffer a Famine which is being blamed squarely on their masters. However the other tribes seem to be having a surplus of food which leads many to think that they are inept rather than exploited

<u style="font-weight:bold;">Africa: The Nobles of Carthage once again demand an ending to the war, as too much attention has been granted to this, and Hannibal is being called called back to the Carthaginian council to discuss his situation. The Greek Colony has stopped expanding for the past years due to consolidation.

<u style="font-weight:bold;">Middle East: The Native populations in the Deserts near Seleucia rise up in a violent rioting fashion due to a drought. While this usually is not a governence issue, many believe its the lack of the God's will that the drought has happened. Galatia has fallen, however Egyptian troops were not provided and only a minimal amount of supplies were sent leading to the agreement between the Byzantines and the Pontic kingdoms to be expanded to split Galatia in 2. The People of Palestine/Israel begin to rise up clamouring for independance.

<u style="font-weight:bold;">Asia: The Qin begin to get competition from a new highly powerful family which begins to take up residence in the Imperial city. Their rise is of legitimate concern as many Generals believe that the Mandate of Heaven the Chinese revere so deeply has been revolked on the Qin. The Korean Famine has ended. Yamato Japans population gets a surprising boom.

<u style="font-weight:bold;">North America: inter Tribal warfare breaks out Shoshone Tribes as cheifs vye for power. The Central American nations all continue major advancement in their systems of government.

<u style="font-weight:bold;">South America: The Rise of Amazonian Tribes begins to be more noticeable to other tribes in the area.

Question: Why is Galatia split in two? iAmVictoriousVVWBTR (talk) 01:01, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

Yamato Japan: The navy is improved and its score is raised by .25. Meanwhile some new towns are established.

Kingdom of Illyria: The young King Pineus organice a fleet to patrol all the Adriatic Sea, and secure the kingdom. Also improve the military (army 0.25)

Ptolemaic Egypt: A second government district is built in Thebes, to have more controll of the new southern territories. Controll over sudan is strengthened. Men from Meroe are enrolled in the military and trained to be soldiers of the Ptolemaic army. New medical drugs are discovered in the native plants of that region. Extra grain is stored in large cisterns to distribute to citizens in case of famine. Guards are positioned in key regions of Anatolia and Juadea. The Coasts andborders of Anatolia are fortified in case of an invasion. The southern border in upper Meroe is fortified. Fortifications are also built in other borders. The grain harvest was very plentiful this year. A greater amount of grain is exported to other countires The people are happy because they have enough to eat. We offer the Seleucid empire to buy grain from us in case of famine. Food scraps, weeds, and animal dung is used to make compost and turn desert sands into rich soils. This system is also implemented in Meroe. (emonomy +0.25)

Byzantine Empire: The Empires Defences around Byzantium are half finised with the two outer rings of defenses completed with the remaining 2 and a half are to be completed in another 4 to 6 years. The Colony in Africa is consolidated as the populous is used to create the Hellenic/Greek Styled city. The Military continues integration of all its peoples and is heavily professionalized. The Possibility of a Roman Styled army, just more professional is considered with less reliance on the Hoplite/Phalanx with more reliance on a Legionary unit like the Romans. This will allow for highly professional tactics outside of the Phalanx and will allow outmaneuvering of the enemy armies. The Phalanx will still be the Battle line, however the Legionaries will be the Bulk followed by Archers and Cavalry The Spartans and some of the remaining macedonian Phalanx units are left as the Main Hoplite Phalanxes while the remaining close quarters begin to be tested with Legionary Training. With Expanding trade with Carthage our '''Economy upgrade to 2.0. We continue to Influence Halicarnassus using our doubly shared greek, and Hellenic culture to begin buying off a few minor politicians. '''The City of Kydonia on Crete becomes a large scale Central Trading hub before all Trade Reaches Greece Proper. The Island is heavily fortified to deal with and potential threats. The Navy is deployed to begein dealing the the Pirates between the Greco-Italian waters and Rome is invited to help. The Discovery of Celtica is promted when ships following a Carthaginian Trade Vessel arrive there. King Phillips son, at the age 12 begins a type of higher education in Military, Politics, and Philosophy. He shows strong will, and a sharp mind and looks to be just as smart as his Father and Mother. The City of Tavium is secured following the destruction of Galatias army by the Pontics. The Galatians due to their ethnic history, are included into the Byzantine empire very easily however some of the other large ethnicities are to be integrated more fully. Ankara and surrounding lands are also integrated very well as Ankara is made capital of the Province of Galatia. Development is done to expand and modernie the stone walls of the city.


 * Byzantine D: We offer a large scale trade agreement to Celtica.

Qart-ḥadašt Res-Publica (Republic of Carthage): Hannibal goes to the Carthaginian Council and explains himself to the council in what is written down as the Plea of Hannibal, and this is an exert:

<p style="text-align:center;">"My senators, I have watched my father pledge to my nation that Iberia shall become a Carthaginian economic centre, and I watched him die in Iberia with the same dream. The lands of Iberia are full of silver, tin, timber, and soldiers that will fill our coffers for centuries, and give us soldiers to outnumber the population of any other nation. You are angry because of your sympathies to the coin. I offered to sate your appietite for gold and riches with Iberia as my father did and you pull support from me, my campaign, and try to remove my families influence over all of Carthage! If Carthage is to move forward ever again, it will never be through your pathetic squabaling between each other, for it shall be through the action, conquest, or subjugation of any others! Carthage does not need leaders who cannot rule it!"

Hasdrupal oversees the return of the recently conquered city and the return of Iberian and Carthaginian prisoners, all with no harm and with all belongings. Hasdrupal disbands and pays most all mercenaries, even giving a bonus, and sends the Greek Hopilites back on their ships. He retains the Iberian mercenaries, and half the Libyan mercenaries, offering double pay for helping rebuild Carthaginian Iberia, including the recently conquered areas. Expanding trade with all of Carthage's trading partners leads to '''an increase in our economy by 0.25. 'Magostudien of Sicily begins to compile Numidian, Libyan, Iberian, and Phoenician agriculture methods and practices into a large Manual of Agricultural Practices ''which includes but is not limited to the planting of olives, vines, the care of farm animals, and the preservation of many foods. Mago Barca in Ziz promotes the ideals of employing the poor and unemployed of Carthage into the navy, which begins to slowly gain ground in African Carthage. Iron plows, seeds, and farmers begin to travel to Iberia, creating more farms and increasing the harvast quantity for the nation. Reconstruction is spearheaded by Hasdrupal in Carthago Nova as well, with the docks becoming the first thing fully restored.

Korea: We continue to build up the defensive wall, adding thick guard towers, and ballista. The military continues to train. The king wants to send ships south to the southern islands (ie: Australia, Phillipines, Taiwan). He sends envoy's west to find other nations. They are expected to return in 10-15 years. 5 envoy's are sent each with 100 men, 250 slaves, 12 cavalry, 30 supply wagons, and 100 soldiers.

Pontus: Mithridates II has passed away peacefully with a will, leaving a stable and booming kingdom to his adept and war-blooded son, Mithridates III, whose sister is the wife of Antiochus III the Great. Mithridates IIIs first act was to secure his kingdom and his recent conquests by fortifying every major city with his newly-acquired tax. Sinope was made testimony of Pontus' military industry and Amasia, capital of Pontus was made the largest and strongest fortress in Central Asia Minor. He also toured every major city in Pontus and Galatia to make speeches, and show himself to the people, making himself popular by talking and staying with the poor people. He also pressured the nobles into selling land to him, which he gave to the jobless, enriching Pontus' produce and treasury. He also made Blucium, capital of Pontic Galatia, a center of economy, learning, and made a large wall around it. He also placed the army on the Armenian frontier. He continued the assimilation of Galatians and made his people love him by reconstructing and improving infrastructure of the kingdom, as well as building roads and supply routes in Galatia. He also made the army love him by giving them a 10% bonus.
 * Pontic D: Mithridates sends an alliance, military pact, and trade agreement offer to the Seleucid king in a bronze tablet, saying that since they were brothers-in-law by his sister Laodice, and family, they must cooperate for the benefit of both nations. He also offers Antiochus a joint invasion of Armenia in two years' time, Pontus getting North and West while Seleucids get South and East.

Kingdom of The Low Lands: The army grows and the kingdom becomes more and more centralised and conected. '''The Frisian tribes in OTL North-Holland are offered vassalization(RNG). '''The whole kingdom celebrates the 10-year existence of the kingdom and everybody gets 3 days of to celebrate. We begin to build around the 'capital' a large wall is build and also around the other 5 larges tribes/city's. (Mods, see: Nation Tier Advancement Application (Romae Delenda Est Map Game)

The Four Germanic Kingdoms are doing well, save for Saxony. All nations have a great year in the harvest, but Saxony is suffering a mini-famine. The Kingdoms to their south (Rhine, Elbe, and Danube) all offer assistance, which is greatly appreciated, reducing any and all tensions. Since they have all merged into one Germanic culture, unification becomes a reality, when the Four Kings agree that the Danubian Prince will become King of all nations. (He is heir to the Danubian and Saxon thrones, and the Elben and Rhinish Kings lack a suitable heir.) In doing so, a new nation, the Germanic Empire, is formed. After years of vassalization, Old Prussia, and Heleveti join the Germanic Empire, as vassals. The Prince of the Empire goes to Ruthenia to court their heiress, the Princess of Ruthenia. They agree to be betrothed, and the wedding occurs on Christmas Day, 203 BC, entering the nations into a dynastic union. Economy improves. Capitalizing on the Cisalpine weakness, we declare war. We tell the troops that they are zealos pagans who plan to overthrow our worship of Odin and Thor. Conquest. (Mods, see: Nation Tier Advancement Application (Romae Delenda Est Map Game)

'It is almost impossible to vassalize a people in twenty-five years without conquerering them, let alone less than ten years of people culturally and religiously different. And as of now, your casus belli is (Reason: None +3, Objective: Conquest +4, Modifiers: Religious Motive -2. Stability loss: 50-5 = 45, Some civil disorder.'

'''You also are expanding and influencing waay to fast. It would take like 15 years for you to get anything with Ruthenia, and your currently influencing about 6 or 7 people so your influence is minimal at best &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk) 18:57, August 12, 2013 (UTC)'''

Qin China: The emperor stops more major construction projects, except the Great Wall of China. Confucianism is not oppressed any more, after the emperor accepted and followed some of his son's advice, although legalism is still held at the highest esteem. Books of out-of-date practices are burnt to stop it from misjudging people, while tricksters and con artists are executed. The Great Wall of China continues being built, although it is changed to voluntary work with a higher salary then farming. The army is trained vigorously and the cavalry is trained to fight like the Xiongnu, Qin's greatest enemy. They are trained to fight like a migratory tribe, with a large emphasis on raiding and counter-raids. Also, they are trained on stealth and sneak attacks. We discover Taiwan and we begin expanding into Taiwan. The Emperor is dead and is succeeded by his first son. His first son asks to marry the daughter of the head of the new powerful family.

Kingdom of The Low Lands Dip: We want to buy stone from anybody willing to trade.
