Rise of Civilizations Part 2 [Concluded]

[Crazed Rabbit]

Okay, we're moving along fine. I'm just waiting on one person (who knows who he is), and I think I can get the first turn report and PMs sent out tonight.


A Reminder:
In some replies, I've pointed out that one move or another (like hiring and moving soldiers) was not possible at this time, but said I'd be happy to, say, hire the same number of soldiers in your capital city. I said no reply was needed if that was alright.

No reply is needed, but this is a reminder in case you did want to change something.

So, hiring *and* moving soldiers on the same turn isn't allowed

[Crazed Rabbit]

Correct, it is not allowed.

Ah well, orders stay the same.

Rise of
Civilizations
Thousands of years ago, man languished in small communities of farmers and hunter-gatherers. After time, however, that began to change. Mankind began to congregate into small towns and trade with far off lands.
Now, across the waters surrounding Italy, several towns grew into cities, led by charismatic men. Who would be a great leader, able to transform their one modest city into a great civilization, was yet to be seen.

The process had begun, as the small cities began to expand by increasing in size or founding new cities.

Nice intro, CR

Anyway, I see some infidels making settlements on the island north of ours...you have two options:

1. You submit and become our vassal, or
2. You prepare to dig your own graves

Which one will it be, infidel?

[Ignoramus]

We of Syracuse warn the citizens of Carthage not to land on the island of Sicily. Any colony shall be attacked without scruple.

Rise of Civilizations
Chapter II: War Begins

It has not taken long for the civilizations across the world to begin fighting with each other. War has broken out in central Italy, as an army from the nation of Umbria has attacked the capital of the smaller nation of Etruscan. The small force hired by the ruler of Etruscan is quickly routed by the Umbrian army, and the handful of men remaining flee to the just constructed Etruscan castle to the south. They have paid the price for poor leadership. The nation of Etruscan is finished, though its ruler may yet survive.
The Umbrians occupy the city and loot the coffers of the fleeing ruler.

In the south of Italy, a great army from Epeiros marches straight at the Roman city of Capua. Such an army has never been seen before in the world.

In other parts of the world, peace still maintains a tenuous grasp, as cities and castles are constructed. Whether the conflict that has gripped Italy will spread is yet to be seen.

Turn Three has begun. Your Orders are due by Friday.

Also, castle defense bonuses are now as follows; 20%,30%,40%, still cost 2k gold per level.

IMPORTANT: Unless told to me via PM or this thread, all nations still trade with each other until their forces engage in physical combat.

The Roman people demand to know why the Epirotes are moving their soldiers towards Capua. We have made no agressive moves towards you.

In the south, a great force assaulted a great Roman defending force at Capua, and was repulsed. Many thousands perished.

In the west, the Sardinians attack the people of Kender, and are also repulsed in their attempt to seize a city. Throughout the world, money changes hands between nations and armies are raised.
