Story
It seems that Mongoliaâs conquest comes to a halt after recent events, while the revolution ends in a surprising twist, as Laestrygonia shatters and becomes a distant memory of the pastâŚ

Round 54 - 400 BC
Phoenicia
Leader: Tekis
Actions: [Global] Trade with Mongols, [Global] Sports
Result: 15/20 +5 = 20/20!, 14/20
You decide to send an expedition to the Mongols with the desire to trade in hopes of building up your relations. When you arrived, you offered to trade currency (now upgraded to gold coins since you can smelt) so that they have no more need to barter for goods. The Mongols are pleased with this offer, and give you the knowledge of ironsmithing. On top of that, they were so excited about a new form of trade that they even gifted you some horses, a symbol of great respect from the Monglian empire. They were pleased when they learned that you helped them during their siege, destroying the Bananaraman caltrops, which increased your relations with them. Now that you have domesticated a mount, you can create cavalry units.
Getting exercise is great for health. Wrestling is a great way to stay fit and healthy, while developing your strength. This can prove to be useful in battle, granting +1 in combat rolls. As a bonus, this new entertainment improves your populationâs happiness.

Result: 17/20 -4 +3 = 16/20, 19/20 -9 +12 = 20/20!, 19/20 -9 +3 = 13/20, 19/20 -8 +5 = 16/20, 20/20! -9 = 11/20, 12/20 -9 +2 = 5/20, 17/20 -8 +6 = 15/20, 10/20 -8 +13 = 15/20
You build a great temple for your priests to use for worship. This temple is very grand, with chiseled details and great spiraling columns. Itâs pretty good on its own, but with a little more work, it can really become a landmark.
With your extensive knowledge of mathematics, you develop siege engines capable of hurtling huge projectiles at long distances. Although the catapult can be useful, it doesnât have much flexibility in terms of angle. That is why, in addition to developing catapults, your inventors upgraded them by making ballistae, which are far more accurate and portable. These ballistae are much better for sieging than catapults, granting +3 to combat rolls, or +6 if they are aimed towards infrastructure. Maybe with a little more development, you can find a way to scale the mechanism to make a portable mini-ballistaâŚ
Treating the wounded can be difficult without a building dedicated to doing so, which is why you built hospitals, which your healers use to treat their patients. This prevents the spreading of diseases, keeping people healthier, increasing your population.
People would usually dock their sailboats anywhere near the shore, tying them to a tree, but it can get difficult to carry merchandise without proper infrastructure. Your builders and shipbuilders got to work and made docks, so that ships can now get a dedicated docking area and unload with ease. This also helps with shipbuilding, granting guaranteed success rolls for shipbuilding rolls.
You go to Kugelland to trade with them. You traded your knowledge of mathematics for their currency techniques. Currency grants +2 to trading rolls or +5 if the other party also has currency. Your trading increases your relations with them. You now tolerate each other.
From your visit to Kugelland, you learn of a nation East from here of great wealth. You go there, hoping to meet them. When you arrived, you discovered the Phenicians, a great trading nation. They were fearful of your militaristic viewpoints, but were naturally trusting of strangers, so it evened out to neutrality.
You tried to develop barracks for your soldiers to train,but they burned down in an accident involving an unextinguished campfire. The whole building collapsed, halting progress.
Your soldiers develop pikes, an excellent weapon against cavalry, with the downside of having to be held with both hands, lowering protection. This gives you the possibility to create heavy spearmen and grants +2 to combat rollsâŚ
By the way, I just realised you donât have a mount, so you canât have cavalry units. I converted your cataphracts to soldiers for now.

Result: 19/20 -7 +4 = 16/20, 9/20 -7 +2 = 4/20, 18/20 -7 +2 = 13/20, 18/20 -9 +2 = 11/20, 16/20 -8 = 8/20, 11/20 -8 +2 = 5/20
The time for Arthur to govern his nation had arrived, as he had finally crowned himself as the first king of Britannia! A government makes coordinating research easier, granting +2 to research rolls.
As his first decree, king Arthur I ordered all the children of Britannia to receive the same education. To do so, he ordered the construction of schools to standardise childrenâs education. This angered parents, who refused to send their children away, fearing for their safety. No one uses the schools, which become vacant and lose all their value, being repurposed into houses.
Your hunters went out looking for a good steed and found horses. It took a while to capture them, but next turn (because of the passing of time) youâll have tamed horses.
Your mathematicians are tasked with developing a good system to calculate simple equations. They come up with integer mathematics, which helps to calculate trajectories, costs and other such potential problems, granting +1 to research rolls and unlocking siege weapon development.
The other hunters, tasked with finding potential companions, fail to capture wolves, who either escaped or died from their traps.
Your philosophers try to develop proper theories on the composition of nature and matter, but canât come up with anything concrete.

Etxe
Leader: Egoi
Actions: Run away
Result: 20/20!
The humans decide the physically superior Neanderthals are not worth fighting, and decide to flee South, to the Rhone delta. There, they are lead by Egoi, a shamanistic man full of new ideas. These ideas were previously unestablishable, because of the materialistic viewpoint of the Neanderthals, but now that the population is human, a new government is established. Government grants +2 to research rolls. The forest-rich area they settled in made your people build houses out of wood, rather than sod, which is sturdier, but less hidden. Humans are also more spiritual, creating a religion, the details of which are up to you. 321 people followed you to the delta, while the rest continued North-East, to an unknown location. As for the Neaderthals, they probably werenât too happy to be deserted, which means you probably shouldnât cross them again. Laestrygonia now dissolved, resetting all of your relations, but you get to keep your technology. You establish 2 villages with the possibility to establish 4. Please name your villages. Stability isnât completely reestablished and people are still tense from the situation. (The event ended in one turn because you got a 20. Sorry if you wanted it to last longer!)

Bananarama
Leader: Barando
Actions: [Global] Interior gardens, [Global] Pray for disaster
Result: 19/20, 16/20 +3 = 19/20
Since your farms are inaccessible, you build gardens within your walls to produce food even during the siege. There isnât much space to do so, but this gives you an extra 3 turns before you starve, with a total now of 5. Your people are starting to worry if theyâre going to make itâŚ
Meanwhile, the people pray to the banods for something, ANYTHING to happen so that they may have the upper hand. It seems the sky answers with⌠rain. Lots of it. Torrential rain, turning the loamy ground to mud. The river is starting to flood and the army is forced to relocate for now. The siege is canned, but the army will be back next turn, and your crops are ruined, so the timer still isnât cancelled. However, you have the freedom to annex villages or move troops outside your walls safely.
Due to not interacting with them in a while, the Farenit forgot about you.

Result: 16/20 +2 = 18/20, 15/20 +2 = 17/20, 9/20 +8 = 17/20
You send an expedition to establish a new village. Aether creates space for more people to move into the old villages.
Another expedition is sent over to build Lilac, a new village. Lilac also creates more space for people to move in.
With the rise of so many villages, itâs becoming increasingly harder to manage every village under one government. That is why the Elders decided that every village will have its own governor, who reports to the capital. This sovereignty removes the stability handicap, allowing you to have as many villages as you want, but it may instigate revolution from the villages if they are unhappy.

Unfortunately, while you were trying to build walls, the Coyotl were growing weary and ordered you to stop, otherwise they would send their soldiers after you. Not wanting to start a war until you were prepared, you obliged, and ceased all activities pertaining to wall building.
You sent your scouts to do a perimeter of the lake, to see if there were any civilizations willing to cooperate. On the eastern bank, they found the Ocelomeh in their capital Texcoco. THey were friendly and were more interested in trade, but when you voiced your concerns to them, they werenât exactly ready to help you, since you were strangers. They decided to test your trustability by entrusting you with a mission. They wanted to be sure you were a reliable trading partner, so they want you to establish a trade route with only them, so that they may be your only client. Only then will they decide to help you. They give you 3 turns, after which they will refuse to help you, but still be willing to trade.
You send your traders during their usual trade run to Tlacopan with an unusual request: To map out the capitalâs layout, paying close attention to fortifications and weaponry. When they got there, they requested a guide to take them around the town, under the pretext that itâs to figure out what the people would need the most. They passed the speech check and the guide believed them whole-heartedly, taking them around the city, where they noted all their observations on a sheet for future reference. Here is what they figured out: Tlacopan has 60 warriors with obsidian weapons, 20 archers with basic bows and flint arrows, stone walls and catapults stationed at the gate. The soldiers were wearing cloth armour.
The king of Coyotl was pleased by how quickly Montezuma obeyed him when he ordered him to stop building walls, so he felt like he was trustable enough to send his army generals to train Montezumaâs people, especially when he mentioned that he found a nation, but it was powerful and hostile, so he needed to train an army. So the king sent a few generals to build training academies where they taught the Mexicans how to properly fight. These training academies grant +2 to combat rolls.
In preparation for war, Montezuma orders people to build granaries to stock up on food, since farms may not be available. These granaries help protect against vermin and preserve the food longer, which increases your population, and can prolong your starvation metre in the event of a siege or a famine.

Leader: Kada Khan
Actions: [Global] Research hub, [Global] Better weapons, [Global] New village
Result: 13/20, 19/20 +4 = 20/20!, 18/20
You build a research hub in your capital, which is a hotspot for scientists and philosophers to gather and discuss new ideas and experiment, which grants +3 to tech research rolls.
To have the upper hand in battle, it helps to have a better weapon than your enemy. So, you improve your weapons using your knowledge of ironsmithing to make iron weapons, which grant +4 to combat rolls. Not stopping there, you develop a unique weapon, the halberd, a two-handed double-headed spear, which you outfit your heavy infantry with, granting a bonus +2 to combat rolls when used, with the drawback of having shields be unequipable (which makes sense since heavy infantry is even more vulnerable to archers than regular infantry).
You establish a new village named Baltakhand. The new area gives space for more people to move in, increasing your population. Villages are starting to become hard to manage, which decreases your stabilityâŚ
Also, during your siege of Musa Sapientum Fixa, it rained so hard that the ground was becoming too muddy and the river was flooding, forcing you to relocate for one turn. After that turn, you can go back to sieging for free (but attacking will require an action).
Also, you were visited by the Phoenicians. They informed you that they infiltrated the Bananarama before you and destroyed their captrops, helping you in your campaign, which pleased you very much. They gave you their knowledge of trade by currency, to which you responded by sharing your knowledge if ironsmithing, as well as horseback riding, as a gift for helping the Mongolian empire. Currency grants +2 to trade rolls or +5 if the other nation also has currency. You improve your relations thanks to the Phoneciansâ services.
You were also visited by the Hollow Sandpeople. They traded their knowledge of agriculture for your iron shields. Now that you can farm, you produce a lot more food, but lots of your land is unfit for farming, so it doesnât increase by much. Your trading improved your relations.

Iâve decided that after 3 villages, every village you gain reduces your stability, unless you find a way to counter the problemâŚ
