Action:Consolidate my surroundings by conquering nearby villages
I’m moving my travelers back to the capital because it sounds like every city automatically has ports. Some new cities are founded. Behere at the location of Saint-Florent in real life Corsica, Bazter on the Bidasoa delta in Basque country, Zubi at the location of real world Anzio near Rome and the outpost of Norgehiagoka at the mouth of the Bussento in southern Italy.

All scholars across the nation not otherwise engaged, 200 farmers from Berpizte and 200 missionaries go on a plague-busting humanitarian mission to Kugelland, bringing as much soap and medicinal plants as they can. The other traders and missionaries go to Phonecia and trade gunpowder for math. The rest of Berpizte tries to invent steam-powered mills and Trukatu works on paper books, while everyone else works to develop algebra.
I await the demands of the people of Hellenes.
Action I: [Establish a big market in Tenochtitlán] 350 people
Action II: [Merge all of my cities (on the island, so without Austahuala) into one big and enormous city named “Mexihà”] 700 people / (or if merging my cities is not possible at the moment) [Domesticate Eagles for communication purposes] 350 people (I’ll make them delivery boys:D)
Action III: [Develop chemistry] 300 people
Action IV: [Develop physics] 300 people
Job action(s): [Disband the Military, as there’s not any potential threat to Mexica in the region]
[The current 188 members of the military will become part of the militia to ensure the order in Mexica]
[Create a job “Builder” and assign 350 people to it]
[Create a job “Farmer” and assign 400 people to it]

Actions: [Global] Federate with Hollow Sand, [Global] Invite all known nations to the Tyrinics, [136 soldiers] Bombs, [90] Irrigation
Result: 7/20 +5 = 12/20, 10/20 +5 = 15/20, 20/20! -6 +5 = 19/20, 15/20 -7 +2 = 10/20
Since you had very good relations with Hollow Sand and got along splendidly with them, you decided to federate with them and unite each other. They agree, which is great news for you. You share all of your technology, and get one extra global action each. I’ll reformat you next round because I’m already pretty tired.
You invite Mongolia and Etxe to the Tyrinics, and they both accept! You’ll make a fair bit of money with the tourism and entry fee, and the entertainment boosts your population’s happiness.
Your soldiers make bombs with the gunpowder, which grant +2 to combat rolls when paired with ships or siege weapons.
The remaining people fail to establish proper irrigation.
Also, you were visited by the people of Etxe, who gave you their intermediate mathematics for your gunpowder.

Result: 15/20 -8 +7 = 14/20, 20/20! -8 +7 = 19/20, 10/20 -8 +7 = 9/20, 16/20 -8 +6 = 14/20, 19/20, 13/20, 19/20, 17/20, 16/20
You improve your relations with Tarkahmehd by offering your knowledge of chemistry and cartography as a gift.
The Lucanians were going through a bit of a food shortage when you met with them, so you sacrificed your permanent farms and solved their food problems. You’re now allies.
Despite your efforts, your relations remain the same with the Celts.
While exploring the shores of the mainland, you came across a new civilization, the Saxons. They are distrustful of strangers due to their warring nature.
Your engineers make gears, which are prerequisites to various machinery. They also make coil springs out of bronze, which are a prerequisite to certain machines.
The rest of your engineers develop the fluyt, a great cargo vessel capable of traversing large bodies of water. These grant +4 to sailing rolls and +2 to trading rolls.
You develop masonry, which grants +3 to infrastructure rolls.
You develop geology. I have no idea what bonus can apply to that. Any suggestions?

Result: 20/20! -7 +15 = 20/20!, 7/20 +15 = 20/20!, 9/20 -8 +20 = 20/20!, 15/20 -8 +8 = 15/20, 12/20 +3 = 15/20, 7/20 +3 = 10/20, 11/20 +3 = 14/20, 3/20 +15 = 18/20
Since the steam machine has many prerequisites, here are two of them since you got a 20. You develop gears and pistons. You will also need a good supply of coal or charcoal before building a steam machine.
Your people improve parchments by making books, which are more compact and can store more information, granting +4 to research rolls. I don’t know what to add as a bonus to that.
You send a squad on a trading quest to Phoenicia and trade their gunpowder for your intermediate mathematics. Your missionaries also preached while there, spreading Iragarmen, but this time keeping the new followers in their homeland.
The remaining missionaries and other people were drafted and sent to Kugelland, where they heard there was a plague. Swearing an oath to bust all plagues, your people gave them soap and medicine in an effort to stop the spread of the plague. This increases your relations with the people of Kugelland.
You build the 3 new cities in their locations, except Norgehiagoka because you ran out of possible actions. These grant 3 more global actions and increase your population.
You improve your mathematics by using algebra, granting +4 to research rolls instead of +3.
By the way, you’re not supposed to shift population between cities, just so you know for next time. It would cost an action to do so. I also decided that your heliocentrism became tier 2 astronomy, since it was a 20, which grants +2 to science rolls.

You establish Tarcie, your tenth village and final natural source of global actions. Establishing more villages is still possible, but won’t grant any further global actions.
You develop a moderate understanding of physics, granting +2 to research rolls and unlocking new potential technologies.
You improve your armour by making plate armour (a prerequisite to steel armour), which grants +6 to combat rolls.
Your shields are upgraded to steel, making them more durable and granting +5 to combat rolls.
You create Spy-Away, an anti-spying agency, which grants -4 to nations that try to spy on you.
A police task force is established, lowering the crime rate.
Unfortunately, you fail to develop a better building method.
When you heard of Kugelland’s conundrum, you wanted to help out any way you could. You decided to approach them cautiously and gift them blueprints to the science hubs and hospitals, in hope that they would improve research for the cure.
You build hospitals to treat the sick, which raise your population.
Also, you were visited by the Mongols, who came for trade. You were naturally fearful of them, having heard spine-chilling tales of their merciless conquest and thirst for blood, so naturally, you were a little tense around them. Nevertheless, you traded your cannons and muskets for their sheep and city planning, which both increase your population.
You were also visited by Britannia, who offered their knowledge of chemistry and cartography as a gift, increasing your relations.

You establish a market, which is great for trading and especially useful to others, granting +4 to trading rolls to other nations that are trading with you.
By wanting to have the most populated city, Montezuma decided to merge most villages together, forming one great city, Mexihà. As a side effect, since you merged 3 cities into one, you lose 2 global actions, but as a bonus, you increase your population drastically.
Chemistry and physics are 2 new sciences developing in Mexica. Chemistry grants +2 to scientific research rolls, while physics grants +1 to tech research rolls.

Result: 6/20 -46 +54 = 14/20, 19/20 +2 = 20/20!, 16/20 +7 = 20/20!, 6/20 +7 = 13/20, 18/20, 15/20 +2 = 17/20, 9/20 +7 = 16/20
You engage in a full frontal assault of the capital. It seems you were almost equally matched, despite your superiority in numbers, but you eventually won the battle of Babylon. It was a bloody fight from both sides, with 213 deaths on the Mongols side, and 307 from the Persian side (in comparison, they had 412 warriors). You will now starve in 5 turns, while the Persians will starve in 3 turns.
You implement laws, which help lower the crime rate even further.
You upgrade your tools even further, mechanising them, increasing your yields and your population.
You develop rafts, which enable boat travel, which could be useful in the Egyptian province, but not very practical in land-locked Mongolia. They add +1 to sailing rolls.
You domesticate eagles, which you use as carrier pigeons and hunters, increasing your population and granting +4 to spy rolls or +3 to research rolls.
You settle a new village in Egypt, granting an extra global action and increasing your population.
You send your traders West until they reach an indefinitely large body of water, wherein they meet the Tarkahmehd. They were chilly, due to the notorious infamy of the Mongols, but were open to trade anyways. You give them some of your herds and your knowledge of city planning for their intriguing new weaponry. Muskets grant +2 to combat rolls when used by musketeers, while cannons on their own do nothing, but can be mounted on ships and walls, or used as siege weapons, which grant +2 to combat rolls, or +7 if used against infrastructure.

You renovate the village and claim it as your land, increasing your population and granting an extra global action. You may name the village.
You develop mathematics, which are useful for building siege engines and grant +1 to research rolls.
To make better buildings, you develop masonry, which helps making buildings sturdier, granting +3 to infrastructure rolls.
When you heard that Kugelland might have a plague, the most logical course of action was to visit the infected cities to see for yourself. Unfortunately, you got infected, and you now also have the Kugelland plague. The people are in panic, decreasing stability and happiness.
Also, you federated with Phoenicia, yay! You get to share all of your technology and gain one extra global action each.

Your secret is a success.
To limit contagion, you build hospitals, which help reduce the number of deaths to -3.
You improve your tools by casting them out of iron, increasing food production, increasing your population.
Your research on the cure continues. Thanks to the Britannian microscopes, you’re almost there!
The plague has been going on for quite some time, decreasing people’s happiness.
Also, you were visited by the Hollow Sandpeople, who unfortunately got infected as well.
You were also visited by the people of Tarkahmehd, who gifted you the blueprints to build science hubs, which grant +3 to research rolls, and hospitals, which grant -2 to the death roll.
The people of Etxe also visited you, giving you soap, which grants -2 to the death roll, and medicine, which grants -1 to the death roll.
I also decided that Roman Concrete grants +4 to infrastructure rolls.
Death roll: 18/20 -4 = 14/20

Your first order of business is to expand yourselves, and to do so, you had to take your neighbour’s land. Your warriors donned their shields and swords and went on their conquest. Their target was the Aitor civilization. You attacked one of their villages, Pamplona, and conquered it with ease. However, this is sure to stir up some trouble. The village is now yours to claim. You lost 5 people in the battle.

Keeping up to date with this has become a chore for me, and it doesn’t look like my religion thing is going to work anyway. I’m leaving the game.
One last thing. A strange man calling himself Orko wanders into Kugelland, and wants to share tales of his people, who he believes he is the last of.

Story
The fate of Etxe lies in uncertainty. Scholars can’t seem to agree, but the two major schools of thought are that it either fell into anarchy and imploded from rapid expansion, or was conquered by the Greco-Romans. Neither theory has enough substantial evidence to disprove the other, so it seems we may never know the true fate of Etxe.
In other news, it seems that a new civilization emerges in Siberia, with evidence showing Swedish descendance, as shown by the net weaving techniques.

Actions: [Global] Help Kugelland, [Global] Irrigation, [Global] Attack Persians, [Global] Meet Tarkahmehd
Result: 20/20! +8 = 20/20!, 19/20 +7 = 20/20!, 7/20 -24 +30 = 13/20, 17/20 +2 = 19/20
Hearing of the plague in Kugelland, you decide to send them everything you have in order to cure it as quickly as possible. It also helps that one of your provinces is affected, which adds to the urgency of the situation. You send the miracle soup of Hollow Sand and your medicine, along with building a few hospitals. This act of kindness helps improve your relations. Kugelland is now your ally.
To combat the aridity of the soil and to bring water to areas where there isn’t any, you build irrigation canals, which make more land suitable for farming, increasing your population. You also build some in the Egyptian province, increasing their population as well.
After the invasion attempt by the Persians, you decide to attack one of their cities. One of them was close enough to move there without costing an action, which you attack right away. Although they were caught off guard, the Persian soldiers present there outnumbered yours, but you still won, although not without losing quite a few units. Out of your 272 soldiers, 76 died in the attack. On the Persian side, there were 179 casualties out of 400.
Since Semetica technically already met Britannia, you explored the Western coast and discovered Tarkahmehd. Due to your diplomatic nature, you start off on good terms.
Due to your conflicting governments, both provinces’ stability decreases.

You try to work with the soup to see if it can help in any way with the disease, but it doesn’t seem to do much. It helps a little, granting -1 to the death roll. For it to be a cure, you would’ve needed a 20.
Seeing as establishing quarantine helped limit the spread of the disease, you decide to mimic Kugelland and establish quarantine in your province, granting -2 to the death roll.
You improve your mathematics, granting +4 to research rolls. From now on, improving mathematics won’t affect rolls, but will rather be to unlock new technology.
Due to your conflicting governments, both provinces’ stability decreases.

Your secret is a success. I will explain in more detail in a pm.
After establishing trust and improving your relations, you finally have enough influence to convince the Lucanians to federate with you. You have gained 3 villages and all of their technology. Now, unfortunately, because of how far the two provinces are, this decreases your stability. On top of that, since Lucania is a republic, the conflicting governments also decrease your stability.
In an effort to improve your relations with the Saxons, you gift them some horses and hunting dogs. This very generous gift increases your relations with them.
You improve your linguistics, which grant +4 instead of +3 to diplomacy.
Also, you were visited by the people of Tarkahemehd, who traded their muskets, granaries, gunpowder and currency for your horses, gears and springs. Muskets grant +2 to combat rolls, while currency grants +2 to trade rolls, or +5 if the other party also has currency. Granaries increase your population.

Action: [Global] Better Muskets, [Global] Better Armor, [Global] Better Mathematics, [Global] Better Boats, [Global] Crop Rotation, [Global] Trade with Britannia, [Global] Waterwheel, [Global] Camouflage, [Global] Eagles
Result: 19/40 +18 = 37/40, 23/40 +18 = 40/40!, 34/40 +18 = 40/40!, 22/40 +18 = 40/40!, 34/40 +18 = 40/40!, 14/20 +5 = 19/20, 8/40 +18 = 26/40, 16/20
Your primitive muskets were pretty good as-is, but were in need of some improvements. To increase accuracy, you lengthened the barrel of the gun. These new rifles are a lot more accurate and can be shot at longer distances, adding +3 to combat rolls instead of +2. You can add modifications such as better fire rate and scopes as an action, which is the equivalent of having different ammo types for the bows, such as flaming or explosive arrows.
You improve your armour to steel, which must be unmatched by others, adding +6 instead of +5 to combat rolls (I decided that plate armour adds no bonus, but is instead a prerequisite).
You develop your mathematics even further, reaching tier V levels. The research bonus caps at +4, but higher mathematical levels are necessary for future tech.
Since your navy is a very important part of your army, you decide to improve your boats. You make caravels, which focus on swift maneuvering and excels at combat. To make it more deadly, you mount them with your own version of Greek fire, the Firespitter, slowly igniting gunpowder to make powerful blazes, perfect for burning down other ships. These mounted caravels grant +4 to sailing rolls and +4 to combat rolls if used. As a reminder, it takes 3 units to operate one ship. It takes one unit to operate one siege engine.
You realised that when you kept farming on the same stretch of land for too long, it would lose its fertility. So, to combat this problem, you decided to implement the rule of 1/3, which would let farmers farm one crop one year, then another crop another year, then let the land rest the third year. This was to ensure that the same nutrients weren’t depleted and the land had enough time to recover. It worked wonders, increasing food rates and your population.
You visited Britannia and traded their horses, springs and gears for your muskets, granary, gunpowder and currency. Since you have mounts, you can now have cavalry.
Windmills are a great and free resource, but aren’t always viable when there’s no wind. To fix that, you made waterwheels, which work similarly to windmills, but are constantly in use due to the rivers. This helps increase production of food such as flour, which means you can produce more bread, increasing your population.
The most powerful element one can control in warfare is the element of surprise. To achieve that, your researchers designed suits that blend in with the environment. In your case, with lots of dense forestry around, your suits have lots of brown and green, to mimic the trees and leaves. These grant +3 to spy rolls or +3 to combat rolls if they’re a surprise attack.
To improve your mailing system, you tame eagles, which can fly a lot faster and a lot further than mailmen, increasing the bonuses from +2 and 3 to +3 and 4. Additionally, they can be used as hunters, increasing your population.
I didn’t understand your final action, so you have an extra action in the time bank.
You were also visited by Semetica, who seemed nice enough.

Leader: Montezuma
Actions: [750] New City, [1000] New City, [400] Better Mathematics, [800] Currency, [900] Better Physics
Result: 10/20 -8 +2 = 4/20, 16/20 -7 +2 = 11/20, 16/20 -8 +13 = 20/20!, 9/20 -7 +11 = 13/20, 19/20 -7 +13 = 20/20!
You establish Tacho, which increases your population and gives you an extra global action.
You develop your mathematics quite rapidly, entering tier 3 levels of mathematics, granting +3 to research rolls. The same goes for your understanding of physics, granting an additional +3 as well.
Montezuma was in his thinking tent, located inside the palace, exploring his deep thoughts. What if, instead of bartering with items with no set value, Mexicans used a standardised currency system. This would resolve trade disputes, and make trading with other nations easier! In fact, currency grants +2 to trading rolls, or +5 of the others also have currency.
As a reminder, since they’re your allies, you can federate with the Ocelomeh and Nahuatl, which would grant you their cities and technology.

Mongolia
Leader: Kada Khan
Actions: [Global] Reinforce army, [Global] Better Houses, [Global] Better Roads, [900 ballooners] Air Raid, [Global] Find the Chinese, [Global] Linguistics, [Global] Embassy
Result: 18/20, 11/20 +5 = 16/20, 9/20 +5 = 14/20, 9/20 -4 +5 = 10/20, 11/20, 19/20 +12 = 20/20!, 15/20 +5 = 20/20!
You reinforce your army, sending the new recruits to the combat zone, ready to engage.
You improve housing by making houses bigger and fancier, improving living conditions and increasing your population. This raises your stability and happiness.
You improve your roads, lining them with stone bricks instead of packed dirt, which improve the bonuses.
As soon as your reinforcements arrived, you engaged in an air raid, deciding to drop bombs on the city in hopes of destroying it. However, in a surprising turn of events, Persian reinforcements arrived as well (presumably informed by a carrier pigeon at night), ready to deal with the balloons and other warriors. However, they hadn’t anticipated that many soldiers and only concentrated on the balloons, pelting the airships with boulders and other debris, bringing them down and watching them blow up. It was a Mongolian loss, for sure, but it’s not over yet! You lost 633 units (Ballooners only, the rest didn’t participate). The Persians lost 218 units (Mostly siege) out of 700.
By exploring your surroundings, you find China, a very powerful nation, enriched by its many trade routes and sprawling crop fields. They are open to trade with you if you feel like it.
To improve your diplomacy with others, you develop your linguistics, which grant +2 to diplomacy rolls.
Diplomacy can be tough without representation, so you design embassies, which, once built in other countries, improve your relations over time and grant +5 to diplomacy rolls. However, there is a small chance they will decrease your relations, either through RNG or sabotage, so watch out!
You can’t improve mail, so you have one global action in the time bank.
Invasion roll: 18/20 (Here, the higher the roll, the better the enemy did, like with the plague)
Surprise! In retaliation to your declaration of war, the Persians sent a squadron over to invade Bataar. Since it was left undefended, the people there surrendered immediately and are now under Persian control. You have lost the city and its population, as well as your global action, until you claim it back. The suddenness of it has decreased your population’s morale and your people are starting to panic, decreasing stability.

Actions: [Global] Cure, [Global] Better Boats
Result: 14/20 +7 = 20/20!, 4/20 +7 = 11/20
Finally, after what felt like forever, the Kugelland researchers have finally discovered the cure for the new plague. Simply put, if you stopped eating for a few days, the disease went away. Yes, it was as simple as that. After one final death roll, the disease will finally be eradicated. Hooray!
You improve your boats to caravels, which grant +4 to sailing rolls.
Water containers are already used if you have pottery, so you have one timebank action.
Also, you were visited by Semetica, who offered their Miracle soup, granting -1 to the death roll.
Death roll: 10/20 -7 = 3/20
Three people have succumbed to the plague, the most notable being Lukas, that baker who made sweetbread just the way I like them.

By the way @Pentaphon, your civ isn’t completely gone, only frozen in time, so if you ever feel like coming back, you can hop back in without any changes.
