SNESA: Absolution

[Nimitz]

OCC: My First UU will be the Quadreme it shall be equiped with a secret weapon I'll tell later.

[Giovanni Wine]

Great Chief Giovanni was happy at the rumors of the defeat of the cannibals to the north.
His explorer there also have broght him a new and strange metal from the great mountain on the north, and he decided to let the wise-men of the tribe study that metal, to see if it was of any good use for the people of Tierra del Fuego.

Also the hero who defeated the cannibals have finally arrived to the big fire of Fiollikord, where Great Chief Giovanni greeted him with a very warm welcome, and proclaimed him the hero of the Tierra del Fuego people, and that from now on that man shall be considered a holy men, blessed by the Supreme God of Sun and Fire.

General Diaz also asked Great Chief Giovanni if it was possible to have now a bigger army, as now the borders he had to protect were much larger than the ones he had to protect before the first Cannibal War, and after some discussion the Council of the Wise decided to grant him a bigger Army.

----------------

Orders:
- Keep expanding north, (army still protects settlers in case other cannbals show up)
- Enlarge the Army
- Work on that "new strange metal founded in the northern mountains" (work towards Bronze Age )

Pria I's son, Pria II, has become King.

In civman2000 itself, a slave revolt broke out. The army crushed it brutally. That same day seventy dissidents sat in protest outside the Royal Palace. The army, just back into the city after crushing the slave revolt, attacked them. They then took weapons out and fought back. However, armed with bronze weapons, the army successfully killed all but fifteen of the protestors.

Orders: Continue old orders. Be even stricter with slaves. Raid nearby villages for slaves.

Update the Fourth: 3800 BC

In South America the people of Tierra de Fuego have once again encountered a new barbarian civilization.

They have long been tormented by their cruel neighbors, they ask the 'Great Prince of the South' who weilds his bronze so mightily, to save them from the neighboring tribes, and to accept them as a part of the Empire.

[Prince Jason]

OOC: From all the past stories of Semeria, I have refered to the leader as "King". I got mixed up with some other game. It is actually supposed to be High Lord.

IC:

High Lord Jason paced the castle's stone floors, echoing a tapping noise throughout the halls of the empty castle. Brenit, the Commander of the armies, and Larrissa, Commander of hte navy (female), were seeted at the table of Hope, I huge stone tablet slung on top of slabs of stone. It was smoothed on the top to provide a nice slick appeareance and touch, and then painted brown. In the middle was a small fire place, sunken down so that the top of the flames protrude the surface of the table. This provided enough light for seeing.

High Lord Jason was wondering about the constant threat of the small tribes in Espanola (Spain, made new name for game). The recently-added province to Semeria was proving to be a nuissance to the empire's garrison of the army to keep safe from the warring tribes that bordered it.

After much discussion, it was settled. The plan was maginficent - devised from High Lord Jason himself. Part of the Grand Army, elite bronze swordsmen and light calvary would be deployed by the Grand Navy at certain tribes to raid them and kill the leaders. Then they would reboard the ships, and unload at another place, doing it all up and down the Espanola coastline. Meanwhile, the rest of the Grand Army could focus on the expansion northwards, into the former-Gaulish territories.

--------------------------------

Orders
Military
Use 1/4 of the Grand Army to conduct raids as sepcified above.
Use 1/2 of Grand Army to continue to expand northwards
Use 1/4 of Grand Army to scout out the lands to the East.
Begin recruiting more men for army service - use the high moral state of the army to convince them to join.
1/2 of Navy is to conduct the raids
The other half is to scout northwards (Druids)

Domestic and Production
Begin to train hundreds of more blacksmiths. Show them how to work bronze, and then the new metal found in the northeast (Iron?).
Begin the construction of a capital city, grander then all the grand, around the Castle. Everything should be made of stone (think Machu-Pichu, but much much larger)

OOC: Skilord, very much enjoying your updates .

[SKILORD]

Jason: That's because my barbarians are tough as hell, and making it a duifficult game.

Wait till you start a modern war against people, something that always bothered me about RTOR was the blitzkreg released whenever a war begins. No war is ever close in RTOR, it's always a thrashing on one side or another (w/ a few exceptions).

This is going to be a more duifficult game than RTOR2 (assuming we get very far, and I am not abandoned) because it has a huge amount of depth, and because i work to ensure realistic (a good deal of death and the impossibility of a short victorious war against an alliance of superpowers [wtf was going on with Iron Fist? We beat them in a matter of days])

[SKILORD]

btw: I'm enjoying making the updates, it takes me a 1/2 hour at most this way.

[puglover]

SKILORD, My unique unit has Bronze Armor and short but leathel spears. They are a basic unit, but very cheap and are dedicated to their leader.

[plexus]

IN THE BEGINNING, the world was nothing but a swamp. The water and the earth were all mixed up and there was nothing but a bog. Nothing could live there. But in the six skies above and in the six worlds below lived gods, demons, and animals.



In the foggy and hanging skies of the lower heavens, the demons lived. In the star-bearing and high skies of the clouds lived the lesser gods. In the skies of the most high lived Kamui, the creator god, and his servants. His realm was surrounded by a mighty metal wall and the only entrance was through an iron gate.



Kamui made this world as a vast round ocean, resting on the backbone of an enormous trout. This fish sucks in the ocean and spits it out again to make the tides; when it moves it causes earthquakes. One day, Kamui looked down on the watery world, and decided to make something of it. He sent down a water wagtail to do the work. When the poor bird arrived and saw the mess everything was in, it did not know what to do. However, by fluttering over the waters with its wings and by trampling the mud with its feet and beating it with its tail, the wagtail at last created patches of dry land. In this way, islands were raised to float upon the ocean in this, the floating world. Even today, the faithful wagtail is still carrying on its work, still beating the ground with its tail.



When Kamui created the world, the Devil tried to thwart him. One morning, the Devil got up and lay in wait to with his mouth opened wide to swallow the sun. But Kamui sent a crow to fly down the Devil’s throat to make him choke and cough. That is why the crow is such a bold bird. Because a crow once saved the world, all crows think they can do what they like, even stealing people’s food.



When the animals who lived in the heavens saw how beautiful the world was, they begged Kamui to let them go and live on it, and he did. But Kamui also made many other creatures especially for the world. The first people, the Ainu, had bodies made of earth, hair of chickweed, and spines made from the sticks of willow. That is why when we grow old, our backs become bent.



Kamui send Aioina, the god-man, down from heaven to teach the Ainu how to hunt and to cook. When Aioina returned to heaven after living among people and teaching them many things, the gods all held their noses and cried, “What a terrible smell of humans!”


They sniffed and sniffed to find out where the stink was coming from. At last, they found out that the smell was coming from Aioina’s clothes. The gods sent him back to earth, and refused to let him back into heaven until he left all his clothes behind. Down in the floating world, Aioina’s sandals turned into the first squirrels.
