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 Romes 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 B.C.
' 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 soth. ''  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 Ptolemic 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 near 70,000 troops. most believe its a gross over-extension of the empires resources but the threat of enemies to the north wins out and its accepted. '''We begin to heavily influence Appolonia, and moderately influence Epirus and Pontus. Helicarnasus a Ptolemic 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 Ptolemics and Seleucids for trade agreements and concurrent non aggression pacts.

 *Epirus D: Accepts alliance and trade agreement.

Ptolemic 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 therefor 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 asail 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 aquanted 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)'''

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 remaing 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 havent 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.

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. 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. This almost empties out the treasury but Mithridates knows that in the long term, it could be a great change. By the end of the year, Pontus has, with deserters, mercs, etc.: '''Pontus would not be able to field those kinds of numbers, you're not a big kingdom. You're decent but your population is nowhere near mine and I'm fielding about 60 to 70,000 troops. Please give us realistic numbers. &#35;LivinLikeFeudal (talk) 13:21, August 6, 2013 (UTC)'''
 * The King of the Danube offers the Tencteri Chief of the Alemani a proposal of becoming a vassal. He alludes to the possibility of the Tencteri Chief becoming the King of the Rhine.
 * The King of the Elbe offers the Varini Chief of the Saxons a proposal  of becoming a vassal. He alludes to the possibility of the Varini Chief becoming the King of the Vistula.

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.

''' Europe: A recently brokered treaty between Carthage and Rome has agreed to regrant all lands to their respective sides following the war. Many of the tribes around Europe are growing more and more organized or more hostile to the powerful nations of Carthage and rome. '''

Europe: The Alemani Tribes agree to the vassalization, and the Cisapline Gauls agree to the alliance with the German ''' ans.   The Saxons agree to only marry off one of their higher born ladies to the King of the Elbe.'''

''' Africa: A Greek Trading post is established in unoccupied africa as a result of the trade agreement between Greece and Carthage, due to the mutual agreements between Egypt, Carthage and the Confederacy it becomes and easy post of trade between the three nations. Carthages treasury has faltered in recent years over the expedition into Europe. '''

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.

Asia: The Qin are still suffering civil unrest over the oppression. Korea has a minor population deflation.

Teotihuacan: Metal crafting grows in popularity. We respond in force to the brutal attacks, and send out the army. We continue to expand Southwards. 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 cheifs 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 further.

The total military uner Aatu Aalto army of consists of 13,500:
 * 8000 Disorganized Finnish Tribesmen
 * 900 Finnish Slingers
 * 350 Finnish Javlineers
 * 850 Finnish Pikemen
 * 35 Finnish Bear Handlers (averaging two bears each currently under training practically useless)
 * 165 East Baltic Nomads (disorganized as well)
 * 700 Tavastian Slingers
 * 500 Tavastian Spearmen (Stone, as the newly integrated regions have not been introduce to Bronze)
 * 500 Tavastian Javlineers
 * 1500 Disorganized Tavastian tribesmen

 * Proto-Finnish D: We offer the many Tavastian tribes vassalization (RNG).
 * 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 no come about for another 30 or 40 years. '''War is declared on Appollonia and the Confederacy sends 30,000 troops with Onagers to fight them about 20 miles outside of their city (Casus Belli: political blunder) (Objective: Conquest -3 Stability)
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: Mago Barca requests to buy 5000 Greek hoplites to send to his brothers in Iberia. All will be returned upon conclusion of the war. We also request that Carthaginian trade ships be allowed to pass through the Vosporos Strait to allow possible trade between the Kingdom of Pontus and Carthage.
 * Macedon D: We will accept on the condition that you do not move any military units through, and that you do not colonize or move on any areas in and around the Black Sea.
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: We accept your conditions and assure you we have no interests in colonies, nor warfare, in or around the Macedonian Confederacy.

 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 prevelant, 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 1,500 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. '''
 * Aoengic Kingdoms Trade: Trade you for some advanced weaponary amoungst other things. We also keep the rest of the isles secret from you for the time being.
 * Carthaginian Trade: We offer the Iberian Falcata, which can break shields and crush helmets as if they were made of cloth, and the Sarrisa, a 15 to 19 foot long pike.

Belgican Tribes: The Kingdom of the Low Lands asks the southern tribes to join the fresh kingdom. if they don't accept, an invasion may be neccessary .(RNG 1-6 yes 7-10 no 6= yes)  The new tribes are welcomed and invited for a great feast. The king, wanting a centralised kingdom and every tribe gets an observer and needs to provide a couple of their warriors. The king also trains some professional troops as swordsmen, horsemen and archers.

''You cannot do your own RNGs. g greg e  (talk) ''

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 explaning 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 Greek, 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. We try to buy off iberian soldier in Cartaginian armies in Iberia. ​Some of these tribes have players. g greg e  (talk)

'''The Treaty of Massalia (Which page I need to make, my bad) Explains that Carthage has agreed to not expand or interfere above the Iberian Peninsula, and Rome will not expand nor interfere below the Iberian Peninsula. There was also a period of ten years of pure peace between them. Sorry I didn't make a page yet before your turn. Also, the only Iberian soldiers you could buy off would be the 2000 Hannibal bought in your territory. The others are hugely loyal to the Barcid family in general, starting with Hamilicar Barca I.

Yamato Japan: The palace continues to be built around OTL Toyooka, Hyōgo.

Kingdom of Illyria: The young King Pineus is a Governing Council that advises on matters of the kingdom, and thanks to these meetings with skillful and intelligent men of the most remarkable families continues to bring prosperity to the kingdom. The next step is to provide security at the borders of the kingdom, and for that matter starts building border guard posts (military + 0.25), and these heavily guarded to prevent looting of villages less civilized.

Ptolemaic Egypt: The army continues to be reformed. Military service becomes compulsory for all male able bodied 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. Southen 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.

 * Macedonia D: We will accept in return for a trade agreement.
 * Carthaginian Diplomacy: We request a trade agreement between the Kingdom of Pontus and Carthage.
 * Ponus D: We accept both, also requesting Carthaginian officers to inspect our navy and a military pact with Macedon.

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 too 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 8 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 encarvings begin on large stones. Elders are weary of the Cartheginains 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 argricultural, 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

211 BC
''' 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. '''

''' 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. '''

''' North America:  The Zapotecs form around the Valley and city of Monte Alban as a City State. A small wall is built around the City and the government focuses on internal development.
