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.

Leader: Tekis
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.

Tarkahmehd
Leader: Evolution4Weak
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.

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.

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.

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.
