Update the Twelfth: 3400

Victory and Defeat

Roman General Domitus Corbulo lead Roman troops on a victorious and yet, extremely bloody, campaign into Druidish Greenland. His thoughts are as follows:

"Well, Rather a type of cookie i would suppose, wait.... don't write that. No, I don't care what you bring me anymore, the interveiw's started. No, none of them. Shut up, go away.

Damn slaves....

Anyway, the war? Yes, that would be what you were here about, a pity isn't it? I had some beutiful roses back on my villa. Anyways the war. The Druids seem to be employing some sort of crude beast of burden to convey themselves, the men have come to fear this beast, and it's riders, they call themselves the Pankakeers, hah, what a ridiculous name..... some pancakes would be nice though..... no don't call him, I've had enough of him.

Other than that things are goiung well, Berserkers giving us trouble, especially when they get behind the lines, i mean, we take over land and it should be ours, yes? Anyone knows that. These Berserkers keep rising up against us after we take some land though, stinking Greenlanders. It would do us all one less bother if they all keeled over..... no please don't write that, I didn't mean it. I have a career, please.

Anyway the war, The Welsh Longbowman have been absolutely crushed by the Ballistae the Wisconsinites ssent s, good men the Wisconsinites, Yes, Quite nice, they sent a division of Sioux here though and I can't say I liked them. No, a bit provincial. Fanatical really, wouldn't fight a war on decent terms, I think their still fighting the Irish that the Druids sent here, a hell of a battle there, We put them against the Pancakeers at first, trying to fight the speed thing, those red blokes just stared at the blasted horses.

I sound more British than Roman, though I imagine a Roman would have a bit of a British accent, Imagine what a Latin accent on English would sound like, hah.

Yes, I'll have them now. You may leave the interveiw isa over.

I should think I tolerated you well enough.

Yeah? Well.... your Mother too."

I think I got a bit carried away.

-

Druidish ships, with Polish support, landed in Southern Greenland, they took a surprising amount of land and faced the uprisings of the natives quite well. A few were killled, but alls well that ends well, eh?

-

The Wisconsinite attack on Iceland progressed marvelously, crushing the resisitance of the Polish Hussairs who were defending the Island.

Te Island is currently split between the Wisconsinites and Poles, even though the map doesn't show that, the Poles continue to allow the Druids to administer their half, but are the only force in the Area.

-

Mowhawk blood scars the American soil, there are only a few Mowhawk tribes remaining, they live in Wisconsinite Mowhawkia (OOC: The land you expanded to North of the Great Lakes, Meta) The leading cheif says, and I quote:

"We just wanted to go to war. It seemed like everyone else was having fun and we just wanted in. Next time use the problems the Moderator gives you to your advantage, instead of crushing us, we would have done a damn good job against the Druids, but we won't anymore, we just want to live out peacably and get to elect a council member."

-

The People of Druidia are filling every ship with makeshift Iron weapons and going forth to fight for Freedom, the edict of the Roman Emperor

Rome is no republic

This quote was great effect in the Propaganda machines of a Republic and ended up filling the people of the Druid islands with a great feeling of nascent jingoism. They are ready to go to war.

-

The last Pharoh died in his bed, probably to a venerial disease. After the ensuing Civil war Egypt stands readied to get it's act together. They are a Republic now, and Consul Tutenkahmen has copmpletely thrown the wheels of Egyptian diplomacy about. Diplomacy later.

-

The Ethiopian colonists to Arabia were assaulted by Pirates tis turn, slowing expansion of the Colony.

-

The Texan colony on Cuba was slaughtered by disease, or the natives, noone is quite sure as whatever did it made a thourough job of things. The people of Texas will forever remember the 'Lost Colony'.

-

Aboriginal Bolo fighters (New UU) are prepared to invade Vietnamese lands, they will likely strike next turn.

-

On their way to Hanoi a storm lost the Ainui fleet, which accidentally landed in the Phillipines, thougha great victory was won the admiral will sheepishly admit that

"Mistakes were made, some of them by myself. With time the error will be rectified, time heals all wounds."

-

Urthal rettoka dna dvanced in Greater Sanu, though the Vietnamese advanced in the Southern Phillipines.

A bew era has dawned, we would like to trade and be pals with you.

From Brazil

From the Etruscians:

To Phoenecia and the Druids:

Etruscian Swordsmen would happily fill the ranks of your troops, if the Phoenecians will agree to transport them.

[Cinna]

The Emperor has been dethroned. In a twist of fate a Roman sword executed Cinna. His failure to secure a timely victory against the Druids caused everlasting shame to him and his kin. Rome has decided that Cinna has done more harm than good and therefore dealt with him accordingly. There was originally much speculation on who would rule next, his wife had taken the throne but only temporarily. Being part Goth, she too was put to the sword. It was obvious now that General Domitus Corbulowould succeed. And that he did, arriving in style, strait from Greenland. He promised Rome victory no matter what the costs, and his patriotism much inspired the ruling elite. The populace was appeased for now, although the time would come when they would expect to see their sons returned from battle. The slave hating Druid killing machine is just what this fledging empire needs. He is true Roman and knows the battlefield well. Rome shall continue her just fight against the Druid under Domitus Corbulo.

((you looked like you were having fun with him SKIL so I decided to keep him around for a bit))

[Metaliturtle]

Wisconsin Orders:

More troops to aid the Romans.

WESTWARD EXPANSION!!!

Feeling the itch of Manifest Destiny, the intrepid Wisconsinites Aided by the Sioux set out west to extend their Nation's Borders to meet those of their friends the Oregon.

Wisconsinite Sioux have managed to capture some of the horses the Druids and Poles had on Iceland. The Sioux have proven to be thrice as efficient on horseback, and efforts are now being made to mount every Sioux warrior possible.

To the American Alliance: We need aid against the Druids, they have enlisted Mercenaries, we must band together or they will destroy us one by one!!

To South American Nations: We request that you join the American Alliance.

[Jack_www]

ooc: Skilord I am now back, and will take Egypt once again.

The son of Jack_www II has killed Consul Tutenkahmen and taken the rulership of Egypt. Robert the Great, as he now calls him self is now Pharaoh of the Great Empire of Egypt. All those who supported the overthrough of the Egyptain monarchy are now being used as salve labor for various contruction projects of the Egyptain Empire.



To Druids:
We have no wish to enter in alliance with you or fight with your nation or Rome, this is none of our business and could care less who rules Europe.

TO Phoenecia:
We would like to better relations between our two nations and come to an agreement on the sharing of North Africa.

To Ethipia:
We will fight along side you to rid the world of the barbarians who live in the Congo. Consul Tutenkahmen was a weak man and grew to old to know that you help your allies, not back away like a coward. We are sending our best units to help in your fight against them.
(secret)
Now is the time to start taking Africa for ourselfs. We have also started to construct the lines of communication you seek between our two nations. We shall rule all of africa for all time!

[Nimitz]

The king sat on his throne alot had happened since the start of the war most of it good, do to a change of government Egypt long time enemy of Phoenicia had become friendly, the Estruicians offered there help, and there had been many victories, but reasently the war had started to stall out and needed a way to be finished quickly but how, so he sat there and he decided to look at the historical scrolls as he thought it would help him think. So he looked through the scrolls and then he came to the section on the Crimeans and how the Bireme had been built to beat them and an idea came to him he would revolutionize the Navy just like that they would build the Quadreme it would have all the current avancement of the navy such as throwers but would have 4 rows of ores it would be the must powerful ship on the seas. So he went to the City square and announced...............

To the Semerians: We have supported you since the very time that we have met. Our nations compliment each other and should continue doing so. Death would come to one of us, so would come to both of us.
The Roman Empire continues to strive for domination of the Empire of Unity. The Republic that we stand for is and will be forever strong. However we prefer to weild this power peacefully.

To Rome: Surrender to us the Eastern part of Greenland and we still can have peace.

The High Lord of the Druids has announced the plan to conmtinue the destruction of Roman forces in Greenland from within, while taking as little casualties as possible on both sides. The Druid Lord has called upon all Roman slaves to join them in the United Empire, where they will be free, and citizens, able to have say in their government. Women too have been allowed the vote. Futhermore the Greenlanders are to be give weapons to carry on the fight against the Roman imperialists whom seek to subjugate Europe and the world in turn.

[Prince Jason]

To Druids

You have not supported us in one dealing. Since we have met, the Semerians have supported you, in expansion of your empire and the war on Ireland. Do not try to wield the history around us, as we are very much aware of it.

Semeria

[Cinna]

In an attempt to thwart The Druid's new plan Rome has devised a new battle strategy. Any non-loyal or rebellious citizens in Greenland will have their towns burned down. Any border towns with Druid-Greenlanders will also be burned. Rome will burn all towns in Greenland that are not loyal to the true cause. Also, Rome will offer tax breaks and citizenship incentives to loyal Greenlanders who wish to live in a nation that is militarily competent. The more propaganda you spread, the more civilian towns we will burn. We won’t kill your citizens, but we lessen their chances of surviving the coming winter.

We urge the Wisconsinites in Iceland to do the same.

Story:
Imperial Decree:
In the name of the Emperor of China:
All those in the military are hereby commanded to assemble, and move out to the southern town of Guangzhou, where the Imperial Army will gather to fight the greatest and most glorious military operation in all of Chinese history. It is the will of the Emperor that the army will march with all speed, and the navy with the full power of the wind, into North Vietnam, in order to secure all of the land from Hanoi to Vietaine from overseas invasion by those who know nothing of the continent of Asia. If the Vietnamese choose to join us, they may. If they do not, they too shall fall before the might of the Chinese armies. The army is commanded to hold the land for the Empire, but not to attack or interfere with Ainu or Urthal forces unless ordered. So it is written, so it shall be done.

Diplomacy:
From China:
To Ainu:
Chinese forces are now in the region of northern Vietnam. Please do not interfere with their mission.

To Urthal:
You may quarrel over islands all you want, but do not set foot in mainland Asia.

To Vietnam:
Consider this an operation to keep Asia for Asians. We are here to help. If you coorperate, much of your land will be returned once this conflict ends.

ORDERS:
Army grows to Very Large
Secure North Vietnam for the Emperor
