SNESA: Absolution

[Cinna]

Emperor Cinna couldn't not be more pleased with the current state of affairs of the empire. Rome had learned to harness the bronze metals and had expanded her borders past the original island. But a sting of bitter and frigid winters had caused thousands of new immigrants to abandon their towns and seek refuge farther south. They eventually landed on a natural harbor across from Newfoundland Island and founded the town of Cumae. Construction on barracks for Cumae will take up most of the residents time during the summer months, the rest of the year will be spent in preparation for what looks to be another horrible winter.

--
orders

Encourage settling of the Cumae coastal area
Construct barracks in Cumae
Build army to facilitate southern expansion

[Jack_www]

Jack_www II has ordered the formation of a new unit(Egypts UU). It is called the chariot, and is very fast and can carry many spears and arrows that they can shoot.

Also all warriors are being upgraded with Bronze spears and swords.

The Great Pharaoh has order the constuction of a Great Pyrimad to serve as a place of resting for his body when he passes on to the after life. This is expect to take 80 years to complete.

Hey Skilord: Can I get a new color? Maybe Dark Blue or Navy? It it eerily similar to the fire people.

OOC: I had a really big post but it got lost here is the gist of it:
King Pria II married at an old age, then dies in 1789. His son, Makuus I, is 14, and his decisions are heavily influenced by his mother, who is secretly an agent of the Council of the Eleven. In 3788, he announces that slavery will be ended, the religion will be reformed (the King will no longer be a god), some free speech will be given to the people, and the Council of the Eleven will be allowed to exist and advise the King in making decisions. The common people love him, but the aristocrats, including the King of KArachi, Makuus's second cousin, revolt upon hearing news of this declaration! Civl war breaks out; SKILORD shall resolve it.

Wisconsinites discover the Mississippi River to the west.

Orders are immediatly put out to move south on this great river and form trade colonies, Wisconsin Now has contact with the Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota Sioux tribes, which are South, Southwest, and west of Wisconsin respectively.

All of the tribes have been given a demonstration of the Ballistae, and the Illinois and Iowa tribes have begged desperately for peace. The council of elders has asked those two nations to join Wisconsin, virtually tripling the territory of the Wisconsinite tribe and giving much better trade deals.

The Sioux were not too impressed with the Ballistae, but the bronze held quite an impression on them. They offered a new source of food, the potato. Wisconsinites returned the offer with corn. ((SKILORD, Horses shouldn't be available to the Sioux until Europeans sail to North America, so I don't want to be attacked by Sioux mounted warriors next turn, At the moment we are at peace and trading Potatos and corn with each other.))

The people are demanding a means of exchange with the other tribes, currently beaver pelts and the barter system are the primary means, but these methods are cumbersome. Some have proposed bronze discs, but currently all the bronze is being used for arrows, armor, and ballistae.

Wisconsin Summary:
Contact with:
Illinois
Iowa
Minnesota Sioux

Developing: (SKILORD pick one for me)
Masonry
Currency

Other Projects:
Exploration and colonization of the Mississippi (1st priority)

Stance towards known nations

Iowa (friendly)
Illinois (friendly)

Update the Fifth: 3750

Sioux forces made their way all the way to the Missisipii top thwart Wisconsin's attempts at settlement. They say: "hah, we shall thwart you" and they have, for now.

They were, by the way, eminently unmounted, and were only attacking on foot, they said they don't want your corn anymore, having discovered that it is nuitritionally useless.

Currency began it's coinage in Wisconsin as well. Gold is now sealed with the Chief's approval to become valid currency. The other tribes criticised this saying it would only lead to 'Greed and War'

The tribes of the Illinois also declared war on the Wisconsin tribe, mostly because they wanted to join in the fun, and the Suoix asked for it, since they were closer to the Missisippi. The Iowa tribe pledged alleigance to the Wisconsiners, attacking the Illinois on the condition that they would be 'accepted, without bloodshed, their culture perserved, to the Empire of Wisconsin. The Illinois tribe took this turn poorly, being beaten on the feild of combat on both sides.

Now for the update for the only man nutty enough to have a civil war with himself, for fun.

Makuus I proved himself an able commander, beating aristrocratic armies on the field, the aristrocrats found themselves outnumbered by the commoners, and the freedmen, and lost the civil war resoundingly, the Council of Eleven, themselves loyalist nobles, have reformed themselves to become subservient to the king, afraid to incur his wrath. The commoners, feeling bold, have petitioned that a twelfth member be added to the council, one chosen by them.
