First World Meeting:
All five invited nations send their monarch with a group of their highest government positions. All but one: instead of the dictator, a feldwebel of the Salo military attends the feast to represent the reich. One of his guards attempts to assassinate the Yajutah King, and the whole delegation gets expelled from the meeting.
Apart from that, the party goes well, and many new friendships can be made between the leaders of the world. The Bariya successfully make a trade deal with the Quinn and Alithei empire - including a channel between the Quinn and the Bariya. This channel will be used to trade jewels that originated from a people the Bariya call “Ausirana” , slaves, drugs, food, medicine and spices between the three biggest empires of Pilaurea.
Meanwhile, the Yajutah try to find support against the crimes of the salo, but no one seems to disagree with the actions of the reich enough to intervene.
The Quinn can successfully position themself as the central trading point of the continent and a perfect host for international meetings.
Salo Reich (warmonger)
Vote 1: Use the Bariya cannons, and use our newfound (or, rather, newly rediscovered) knowledge of physics and ballistics to create artillery (artillery that shoots gas caninsters, of course).
Roll: 18
Outcome:
You create a large steel weapon that is able to shoot ballistic gas projectiles. However, this weapon cannot be produced without large amounts of coal and iron- amounts that your nation cannot provide.
Vote 2: Start looking more into the steam engine. This invention could revolutionize our lives…
Roll: 12
Outcome:
Finally, after years of research, you invent the first working steam engine of this world ! However, this invention makes your lack of coal even worse.
Vote 3: Adapt our Voitto and Velidah ships to use cannons.
Roll: 10
Outcome:
You successfully add cannons to your ships.
Vote 4 (New): Start propganda promoting atheism and calling the idea of a higher power as ‘absurd’.(edited)
Roll: 4
Outcome:
Most people are too religious to abandon their faith, and places of worship start to stir up hatred against their pagan government.
Vote 5: Adapt our Molus-Telum (our tanks) to the coming times, upgrading them with cannons and steam engines (if we have them, of course). Also rename it to the "Kore".
Roll: 14
Outcome:
You create the first steel tank of the world, equipped with canons and steam-engined locomotion. However, using coal as a fuel, the tanks are very heavy and slow. Their wheels are often too weak to carry this weight, and you neither have enough coal nor iron to produce and maintain them.
War Vote 1: March towards the city with our cavalry. Now is the time to begin our conquest.
War Vote 2: Use our massive army and technological advantage to march into the Yajutah lands for a quick conquest.
War Vote 3: Gas the Yajutah to death. Gas them all…
War Vote 4: If any Yajutah survive, move them up north to work as slaves in our vodka factories.
War Vote 5: Sever any potential routes for Yajutah refugees. None must survive.
Outcome: Your conquest is very successful, even if it costs many their life. However, you are not able to catch any refugees or soldiers, as they either leave to life in Ausirana or get captured by the Bariya and their professional slave catchers.
The war finally comes to an end, but your labour camps remain- do you want to keep them ? (Either +1 economical power or 3 free factories)
Extra: You exchange embassies with the Ausirana and the Bariya. You also formalize an alliance with the sultanate.

Roll: 6
Outcome:
You send two scouts in the direction of the snowy mountains. The first group finds an empty camp full of blood. A trail of blood leads them to a high tree - the crown is packed with three ansloc bodies. Terrified by this view, the scouts mount their Isha again and flee from the mountain. In the distance, they see the second group being attacked by something from above, but they are too scared to return and help the group.

Roll: 14
Outcome:
You allow converted refugees to enter your nation and become citizens. Not only does this boost your population, it also saves many lives.
Vote 2: Send missionaries amongst the Salo ranks to spread the teachings of Au and Sir. This conflict has been going on for far too long and has been far too cruel.
Roll: 16
Outcome: while it’s hard for your missionaries to reach higher salo positions, you manage to convert quite a few soldiers. No matter how this conflict will end, the sand nation will most likely always follow au and sir.
Vote 3: Continue experimenting with glass creation.
Roll: 14
Outcome:
Finally you’re able to produce glass, and some of the yajutah immigrants teach you how to make real art out of it.
Vote 4: Begin experimenting with creating paper or papyrus from trees/ other plants respectively.
Roll: 5
Outcome:
You make paper, but it can’t be compared to the type used in the Bariyan lands. They say it comes from the salo reich. Perhaps you should consider importing it from them ?

Outcome:
A group of scouts, riding K. princeps, starts travelling north-west. The first empire they make contact with are the Alithei. They are terrified of the beast you ride at first, but later send a few biologists to have a closer look at them. They use many futuristic technologies and while communication is hard, you feel like you could learn a lot from them.
The second nation you make contact with are the Quinn. They seem interested, but not too impressed by your giant mounts. However, your scouts are the ones frightened this time- the Quinn ride giant flying beasts that look like they’ve just escaped from a nightmare. Your scouts are invited to have a feast with the Quinn.
The third nation you meet before you decide to return are the salo. To reach them, your scouts had to pass a terribly cold forest- your crabs don’t care for the cold but sadly a few scouts lose their life.
The salo are impressed by your crabs, but wonder why you haven’t used them in a war yet.
This journey helps you to make contact with many possible friends, allies, and most importantly trading partners.

Bariya Sultanate
Vote 1: Prospect for resources in the desert.
Roll: 9
Outcome: Your search for resources isn’t too successful at first. You almost give up, but finally you find something completely new underground - a thick black fluid starts running out of a hole you digged. That fluid has similar characteristscs to the oil your new trading partner produces, but it burns for much longer. If mined efficently, this could perhaps be the future of fuels for machineries that require a lighter fuel than coal - something your new ally struggles with. Perhaps if the salo give you access to their new machine, you could construct the first oil derrick.
Vote 2: Find some other uses for gunpowder.
Roll: 16
Outcome:
You invent Arquebuses. This new weapon requires much less training than a crossbow or compound bow and is yet much more deadly. You arm your entire army with this inventions and soon control the strongest force of all time.

Roll: 14
Outcome:
You manage to capture some lands, and not even the gas grenades can stop your new weapons.
WAR 3: If no part falls, have the army set up camp by the walls. Continue bombarding them with explosives, cannon, and rams. (Not necessary anymore )
Extra: You exchange embassies with the Salo and the Ausirana.

WAR OUTCOME :
Finally, the war that has been going for generations comes to an end. The Yajutah authorities refuse to give in or surrender, and they decide to not flee, unlike larke parts of the army. Those soldiers who flew get captured by the sultanate and selled as slaves to the newly contacted northern empires,those who stayed get either killed or arrested. And so the great sand empire comes to an end, inside of the walls that once promised them to survive an eternity.
However, while this war might be over, it will never be forgotten: it introduced the worst weapons Pilaurea has ever seen, and over a million ansloc lost their life. The streets are flooded with blood and huge mountains of corpses block them. And it leaves a big question : was this worth it ?
Thanks for the new round serialkiller.
