Civilizations

A few quick reminders: Most countries will not interact with each other until around their third or fourth post, even if its like france and germany.
You may not in no way interact with an island country until around the Ancient times. Only that is as close from France to britian. Japan and all of thosse islands will be cut off from the rest of the world until the renassiance ages.
All Civilizations automatically start out with Tree Cutting, House Building, and Fire Building


Leader Frankis is Germanys leader.


Frankis: We shall settle down here. The land is rich and healthy. I will rule this new kingdom, i will name it Germany. Where i stand, you  will build my palace.  Around it. You will build your houses. Build your houses as you please.

Taking large stones, men roll them into position. Taking smaller stones, they chip off rough edges, smoothing it out. About 20 of them smooth out a peice, and lay it carefully on top of the other three peices, sort of like dominoes. They take the long grass of the area and coat it around the cracks, to prevent leaks. They then make primitive straw houses. They craft primitive weapons such as wooden spears and slingshots.

Frankis: Hmm. I decided to change my mind, these huts are organized too sloppily. Destroy them, or somehow move them to the side, in neat rows. I want a fire built every three houses. I shall name this city Berlin.

* Me name be Burebista, I be king of the Romanians *

* From the mouth of a mountain pass  ... *

That mountain depression below us seems like a well defended area, my warriors. Let us take the village that lies in the middle of it and settle there.

* Burebista's tribe quickly takes control of the village, naming it Sarmizegetusa. As soon as they settle with their women and children, they start prospecting for iron and copper deposits. *

* Burebista handpicks 20 of his best men, and adresses the rest: *

Hear me, men! I want mines digging for iron and smithies working that iron from dusk 'til dawn! I shall have noone sitting on his hands!

The 20 most worthy warriors amongst you shall ride with me and pillage for food!

"Do you see those woods over there, Takashi?"

"Yes, m'lord."

"Clear them out; use the pulleys."

"Why those woods, sir?"

"Our mining scouts have discovered copper and iron beneath the earth in that area. We will want to stockpile these minerals, as they may be very useful and very valuable someday. Besides, the remaining foliage will house the animals we will hunt to survive. Yes, this is the perfect area to begin my empire."

"Yes sir."

As Takashi left, the wolf cub in the arms of the young leader, an adoptive pet to celebrate the discovery of a new land, began to bark and wriggled out of his master's arms.

"Tokyo! Tokyo, come back!" the leader, whose name was Shin, called out to the cub. The small wolf ran over to the spot and marked his territory where a mighty city would once stand.

Laughing, Shin approached the cub and picked him up once his "business" had been finished. "Very well. This is now your territory. I shall call this city Tokyo."

Then, turning to his followers, Shin stood and declared to the small mass of people. "It is time. Let's build!"

OOC: Very nice you two. Shadowcaster very interesting way to get food.


A hunting party of ten sets out into the forest. Silently, then sneak apon two deer, a female and a male. Carefully, and quietly, they encircle it. Then on the lead command, they charge in, spears drawn and battlecrys screamed. Catching the deer totally off guard, they quickly become easy prey for the german hunting party. They carry it off and bring it back to Berlin, which has now began building wooden houses, coated with mud and straw. They go to the ruler and present the deer.

Frankis: Very good. We shall all feast tonight. Take it to the butchery on your right. He shall know what to do

They bow to ruler frankis, and take the two deer to the butchery. He prepares the deer, when he is done, he hands the meat in a basket to one of the hunters

Butcher: Pass this around to everybody. There is enough for two peices per house.

*One day, the great Emperor Lord Captain Commander of the Stinking Bog, Marelt Ekiran, decides that he was destined for greater things and declares himself Emperor Lord Captain Commander of the Netherlands (or just the ELCC). He immediately gathers his faithful subjects and starts preparing them for the greatness of standing on top of the world.*

We now rule Netherlands. We going to be great, very great.

Grog, stop eating flees. You are supposed to be human, not ape.

First of all, we need food. This land may be wet, but at least that means that we have plenty of food here. Women will be under leadership of Eep-Eek and gather fruits and berries, which will maintain us for first little while.

Grog and Ook are going to lead men to dig gutters for water draining. When we are ready, we will have very fertile mud, which we can easily use to grow lots of stuff. We then have food, and reeds to build roofs and clay to build walls. We going to be so great.

Children will be carving silly stuff from wood and stone. We claim that it is religious stuff and other people will pay lots of shinies for it, since we do have very sleek trader tongues.


*In the meantime, Marelt Ekiran puts his own little hut on one of the low hills and decided where the other huts will be. This little place will be called Mareltekiranopolis, but we will probably have to look out for a better spot to build a capitol later. This one probably won't last.

OOC- The Dutch capitol wasn't build until the Middle Ages.

* Burebista and his warriors periodically plundered the neighbouring villages but Sarmizegetusa was growing and this way of getting food was becoming insuficient. *

* The leader summonned the newly formed Elders' Council and decreed *

'We must to find another way to get food, there are too many of us and we can't carry as much from our plunders.
This is how things are: The smithies have made something they call 'axe'. We have plenty of them and our warriors have learned how to use them. I say we subdue the 4 nearby villages and make them pay us tribute in food! Their warriors should fall like flies in front of ours!


* And it was done as Burebista anticipated. Sarmizegetusa was receiving food, in exchange for what they called 'protection' and continued to fastly grow. *

A Pseudo-Emperor's Journal

Today we have completed clearing the forests and are using the wood from the trees we have downed as building material. The wood is suprisingly strong, and surprisingly heavy. A few cabins are in the process of being built, my own one of them, but the city of Tokyo is still far from becoming reality. Nevertheless, I am very pleased at the progress we have made so far.

But there is trouble brewing in the east. Don Kyoto, my eccentric brother, is building a self-named city nearer the midlands. I can see it now, Tokyo against Kyoto, a great struggle for power between two cities whose names are transpositions of each other, a fact I find ironic given the circumstances. I have sent a scout to track the progress my brother is making, but he has not yet returned. I hope the news is favorable.

We have found a great abundance of game in the forest, but I fear that our need of firewood might drive our hunting grounds further and further away from the city, and the shrubbery does not taste very good, not very good at all. Unless it expands at a very rapid rate, I fear that the city may one day go without food. We all pray this does not happen. Tokyo will expand, I just know it.

While our food is abundant, water is scarce. Several wells have been dug, but no water has yet been found. We have had to survive off collections of rainwater so far, but our numbers are so few that such water is sufficient, thankfully. We will grow, we have to, and this rainy season may not last for long, so water may become a valuable resource someday, one that is too important to hold so high a price. That confounded brother of mine just had to find a lake near his city. I'm so jealous.

But, while several problems have arisen, I know they will be solved in time. I just hope we can stay ahead of my brother. Tokyo will be the capital of this place, and when it does, I may even name the island. For now, I'll just stick with Tokyo.

-Shin Shirogomi


"Sir, I don't think scribbling in the dirt is a good idea when we are trying to raise a town. Besides, we have no need for such strange collection of symbols, we are building an empire, after all."

"You're right, what use is that form of communication? We have our voices, and that's all we'll ever need. What would we call those symbols anyway? Letters? An alphabet? Ha! How ridiculous."

"I completely agree, sir. Now, let me take you into our newly constructed mine and show you the iron and copper banks we have found. There are, dare I say, quite a few."

"Stop giggling like that, Takashi. It's only a mine."

"So sorry, sir."

OOC: Shadowcaster will advance to the next era in three posts.

IC:

Frankis: The city is coming along perfect. I want a shrine built to my greatness right next to this palace, with a  statue of myself erected on top of it. Also i want my palace expanded. I want wood built around the stone for  a better, more furnished look. The roof shall be covered in straw, and another floor added on top. It is time to find myself a wife.

Advisor: I shall let our builders know of your requests. Shall i hold a contest for the women in the city?

Frankis: No. I will find one myself




OOC: I made a small website for germany..here

As Romano and his men look over the land, they decide that this is the perfect place to start their town.

"This place is perfect! We are close to water, most of the surrounding area is mountainous, what more could we have asked for?"

As Romano's men begin to setup a small settlement Romano goes off to scout the surrounding area. Not far off he finds a large area, the soil is rich, perfect for farming. The farm area has many tree nearby. Romano went back to his men to give them their orders.

"Ten of you stay here and continue to build our town. Ten of you go and begin to stockpile wood from those trees. The remaining ten come with me, we are to build a our farm...

We are only small now, but one day we shall expand and control all! I shall call this town, Rome...


OoC: 2Xtreme does it matter what i call my cvharacter or does he have to be a real person from those days?

The Greek tribe was struggling.

The strongest warrior, Maximus, had proclaimed himself King of the land they occupied. The large grouping of families had lived off of the land for centuries, hunting for each other, but Maximus knew that if they were to survive much longer someone would have to take control.

"My brothers! Maximus began."This winter we have had our first taste of hardship, with the lack of food and shelter. As the summer comes, you believe all is well again. But what of next winter? People cannot keep dying needlessly at the mercy of nature. People caring only for themselves in our tribe, leaves the weak and the young behind!" he cried, standing infront of the other tribesmen.

"If we are to survive, to grow into something more than a group of starving rangers, someone must take control."The other people knew what he was hinting at, as Maximus reached for his spear. Cries from the stronger of the community arose, but they were quietened as he spoke again.

"Anyone who objects to me being ruler of the Greeks, challenge me now."



When no one challenged his leadership, he gained power and control over the people, and his family became royalty. He was blessed with riches and many women, and soon he had established a governing power over the people he called the Greeks.

He gathered his best fighters, and ordered them to protect the newfound village, fighting with weapons made from stone.

Villagers were made to gather food for the people, from the local trees and plants, some even hunted the local oxen, and soon Maximus' plans began to come together.

But he has more plans in store for the Greeks, plans greater than gathering wood and stone.
