SNESA: Absolution

[Cinna]

((OOC: don't the rest of us get a technology to compensate for the fact that we didn't get bronze? or does this come later?))

[Prince Jason]

uhmm, I thought skilord was the mod

Let's see if my writers block left me:

The cold night brought rain to the village, soaking the dirt ground of the tent. The soldiers lay, most of the wounded, within their warm tents, bloodstained from the battle last night. The Gauls have been putting up a harder fight then the soldeirs thought. And with all this talk about how the Gauls were puny and terrible fighters, the Semerians were feeling terrible by the fact that they had been beaten by them.

However, a new technology put forth confidence for the warriors. Like a gleam of sunshine in the dark times, the bright bonze shined through the warrior's eyes. This new bronze brought forth new weapons - such as swords and shields.

The soldiers began to be trained in the techniques of swordfighting - to become the best in the land.

Soon it became second nature to the men - past eating. They began building more moral as more and more battles were being won against the Gauls.

However, the Gauls were still too many, and the Semerians had already lost many people. Help was needed, and so the Semerians called upon the only people that could do so - the Poles.

To The Polish Empire
From Holy Semeria

Friends, as you know, we are in dire need of aid in our war against the barbarians in the north known as the Gauls. While we have been winning lately, we do not have the manpower to continue the victories, and soon will be forced to use children to fight with! Please, send us a few bands of men to be used to fight with, and in return we will show you the ways to fight with the new bronze we both have. Also, we will send many gifts of wines and food.

To Greece
From Holy Semeria

Hail, new friend! We welcome trade and good relations with your nation. A gift of wines is on their way to your lands now. We wish for the contacts of the nations that you know of, as we know there are some unknown nations with sails.

ORDERS
Keep fighting the Gauls
Keep researching the Sails technology
Train soldiers in fighting with swords
Recruit more soldeirs to the army to fight the Gauls.

the rest will get Bronze over the next coupla turns I considered getting the rest of us other stuff to compensate, but... well some of you were spared the wrath of the barbarians, wheras bronze nations took it in the shorts a bit. (Greek naval loss, Semerian defeat at the hands of Gauls, Attack on Wisconsin)

sorry guys, it snowed last night and I wasn't able to get home until like 2 hours ago, I'll update tonight (weather permitting... it cold in Wisconsin brrrrr)

I planned to update tonight too, what a coincidence!

[Cap'n Crunch]

The Urthalian nation wants to see an empire carved of th Great Island, and of that mystical land to the south only spoken of in half remembered reveries.

We will strike out to the south on our ships, carrying armies to conqure that unknown continent.

Also: get Bronze working.

Update later today

The Shamans of Wisconsin only had to show the broken arrow to the people after the rout to inspire bloodlust among the Wisconsinites.

"We cannot let these ignorant savages hinder the advancement of our technology!!" The crowd chanted a couple times until the chant just got too long and they set off to war.

The Wisconsinite warriors marched Northwards to the Oneida Capitol of Green Bay, and through superior weapons, numbers, and strategy were able to take the city and force the Oneidans to join the great nation of Wisconsin
SKILORD-(Oneida were from where I am now through the Northeastern half of Wisconsin, I assume that would be acceptable territory to gain.)

SKILORD I'll let you pick this, The next discovery will be either Masonry or Mathematics ((In the story thread I'll explain why this is.))

King Jerr I has died, and his son Jerr II has ascended to the throne. Disidents who were persecuted under Jerr I have come out of hiding, but went back into hiding when the new King announced that he would continue his father's programs to secure true greatness for Amelaria.

Update the Third: 3850 BC

(I was talking to cbraud and my girl, which slowed this update)

Bronze clashed against stone, the Gauls died by uncountable numbers.

But they could afford to.

The Semerians on the opther hand, were short in numbers, and numbers were telling. The Gauls seemed ready to charge, to break the line, once and for all.

A war horn sounded in the distance, General Sobieski stood before his Polish legion.

The gauls turned their charge, like moths to the flame.

-
Poland has promised freindship to the Semerian Empire, and thus received the art of Bronze working.
-

A small force walked the rocky, untilled land, a free, if hideous place. The Crimea was inhospitable to every civilized man.

But the Poles were not here to fight the civilized.

War horns revertabrated, their bronze swords ad spears flashed in the dark. They had been seen.

Minutes later the General found himself begging at the WarKing's feet. He, was spared the pain of an hour long death, which awaited the other surviviors.

-

A grand Navy was sailing through the East atlantic, but it had been seen, and it''s fate was sealed.

A raiding party had left the small Phoenecian town in rags, but the navy which had met them upon return to the deadly seas would return the favor. The Grand Navy was abolished. Phoenecia had taken her crown. Which was appropros, since the Phoenecian ruler now held a crown too.

-

Japan

"Shogun, that is mad, we are not people of the sea."

"We shall become so, prepare the war-ships, we will go to China to conqure and destroy."

-

Wisconsin won her battles, beating back the Oenidas, and capturing Green Bay.

Greece Expanded North, grabbing more taxes, Economy is up!

The Romans now hold all of NewFoundland.

The people of Tierra le Fuego finally defeated the cannibals, theor victory ensuring them an Empire, rather than ensuring that their children would be the Appetizers....

Mathem,atics systems discovered in Wisconsin, they can now do math! (No Catapaults, sorry....)

Bronze this turn:

Rome
