760 Quinalla surveys her empire, deciding that war with the Romans again is inevitable, but preperations still need to be made.  She also observes that a vast number of Persian troops are headed towards the Romans through our lands along with a few zulu and greek forces.  As much as she hates allowing anyone in her borders, she know that the Persians might be just the distraction needed to let the Babylonians crush the Romans.  All the cities are contacted and instructed to outfit their current troops with better weapons (spearmen to pikemen and warriors to swordsmen) and those that do not have the resources but are close to a town that does will send their soldiers to these towns to be properly outfitted.  Many workers are called from their current tasks to start the task of completing roads to all the many cities of the empire.

770 Many knights are trained and sent to two points along the Roman border.  Quinalla notices Roman legionaires trying to trespass, probably trying to reach Persian cities, and orders them out with the threat of war.  The Romans attempt to appease, they have seen the horde of Persians approaching as well.

780 The greek city of Thessalonica has joined the Babylonian empire!  Quinalla takes this as an omen that the Romans are meant to be part of our great empire.  She gladly allows the former greeks to build a temple to celebrate their new empress.  Quinalla contacts the various leaders to see if they have anything worthwhile to trade.  She realizes that the other leaders are quite upset that the Babylonians asked them to join the war against the Romans and then backed out.  The Persians have a worker for trade, so she purchases it for 10 gold and a map of the world.  It turns out to be a roman worker, more signs of what is to come.  Roman soldiers trespass again and are ordered out again.  Quinalla orders troops moved to block the Romans.

790 The city of Shuruppale is founded and begins building a temple.  The Persians contact us and have the audacity to demand our territory map.  Quinalla keeps herself from laughing in the face of the emmissary and politely refuses.  They must be feeling powerful with their whole army in our borders, but they are set on attacking the romans and don't want a war with us as well.

800 Romans are ordered out again, workers continue to connect cities.

810 Ellipi goes into disorder because of the cruel oppression of past leaders.  This is the first of many cities to complain and riot.  Perhaps our people have felt the whip too many times in the past and Quinalla vows not to use it during her reign unless the fate of the empire rests on it.  The people of Ellipi begin building a cathedral where they can properly mourn for the lost lives of so many friends and family.  The Persians have nearly reached the Romans.  A few Greek soldiers reach the border and the Romans cross over to attack.  Once they defeat the greeks, I order them out.

820 A Barbarian galley attacks our galley, but it is victorious and continues exploring the coast.  Quinalla orders a galley that has been docked for centuries to explore as well, we must find more lands and riches for our empire.

830 Only one or two Romans cross our border this time, most are rushing to defend their city that will soon be under the Persians assault.  Lagash finishes its warrior and begins work on a temple.

840 The Romans contact us and offer an alliance vs. the greeks and a right of passage agreement.  Quinalla send the emmissary away and once he is gone she laughs for 20 minutes straight, does that idiot who claims to rule the Romans think we are that stupid!  The Persians reach the Romans city of Nicomedia and take it from the Romans.  We discover the secrets of theology and we are now trying to learn the great skill of engineering.  Quinalla decides to reward her people's efforts and raises the amount of luxuries given to the people to 10% of our income. 

850 The Romans take back Nicomedia and then the Persians recapture it.  Approximately 10 barbarian galleys are reported seen off the various coast of our empire.  Quinalla decides the time to attack the Romans is now and moves troops toward Ravenna and Cumae and they are inside the Roman borders.  She hopes the Romans will simply declare war, but they instead ask us to leave and we declare war on them.  Greece and Rome sign a peace treaty.  The Romans take Nicomedia back, both sides taking huge casulties.  A few Roman soldiers attack a knight and he becomes elite.

860 We uncover the secrets of engineering and begin trying to unlock the strange secrets of invention, hoping to learn of a more powerful substance to crush our enemies with.  Habbus and Somarra both riot, complaining of past oppresion and are given one entertainer and not allowed to grow anymore.  Our troops take Cumae with one knight's attack, 2 resistors are present and three troops are garrisoned to convince them otherwise and the people are instructed to build a temple.  Our troops also take Ravenna with no casulties and there is only 1 resistor there and they are also instructed to build a temple.

870 Resistance is over in Ravenna, one quelled in Cumae.  One of our knights is attacked and killed by roman soldiers.

880 Cumae resistance has ended and they have starved themselves down to 2 people and will be growing soon.  We attack a few roaming troops and capture a worker, no casulties.

890 Neapolis is also not allowed to grow and allowed one entertainer to make up for past oppresion.  Another knight is lost in battle.  The Persian and Roman troops continue to kill each other off, Quinalla silently cheers them both to destroy one another.

900 Thessalonia also shows its anger at being oppressed
