Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

The reason Rome got so big was because of all of its neighbours being small. With a massive neighbour like Aquilea, there's no guarantee Rome ever seriously expanding.

Am I influencing history indirectly? Does this mean that the Latin influence may seriously decline, that may result in the butchering of the English language? Cool.

Anyways, I'll set up my wiki after I do my IC post.

I am currently writing one up, glad the Isim where actually so successful but I wonder if the Persian Empire is going to exist and be the force it was in the past as it will in this timeline?

Probably, but they wouldn't be as strong due to the influence of the surrounding nations.

How do I add a 'subsection' on the wiki to add my civilization?

There should be an option during the text editing that is a drop-down box saying "headers". Press that, and click the first option.

Put two equal signs on each side of the text you want to become a subheading. To put subheadings under those subheadings, add another equal sign to the each side. For example:

==Culture==

===Religion===

====Early Religion====

====Later Monotheistic Beliefs====

==History==

===Early History===

===Late History===
Signatures are so 2014.

Yes. In the top right corner of the screen, it will say "contribute", click on that, and then press new page.

I see Steampunk Mars left a reference on his page to the Nambiri. I left a reference to the Berezites on my page yesterday when I first made it, can you find it?

I'll do so once I get done with my page on the Berezite pantheon. I spelled "The Berezite Civilisation" the British way with an "s"; you'll need to use that spelling to link to it.

Once Aquilea publishes his page I'll link to that, too.

EDIT: And linked to Aquilea. If there's a page for the Isim I'll add a link there as well.

Heh.

Also, I'm in the process of De-Americanizing North America, meaning that I'm basically redrawing the borders for North America so we won't have to deal with those stupid statelines that the Vicky map come with.

I might be willing to deal contact with you in the start of the Classical Antiquity, and I might be stepping foot on Italy but I don't know as of yet.

Well, my original plan was to unite all of Italy historically. I guess this isn't going to happen if I don't go to war, is it?

Don't compliment yourself. It is the moral equivalent of well,
licking your own balls.


**EDIT** But yes, you did very well.

Heh. I can't really give myself all the credit, either. I'm just happy I was able to make people (theoretically) go to war with each other. Which, in my opinion, rarely happens in these RPs.

I may just expand around Venice and call it the Venetian Empire. But then I may come in conflict with the Greeks AND western Italians later on.

Nation name: Excalaer
Type of government: Tribal Monarchy (Unciv)
Leader's name: Otto Uf Yaenk
Leader's statistics: Military: 4 Diplomatic: 1 Administrative: 4
Name of Culture, Language, and a brief description: The Excalaer are an intensely independent and tribal people. They are split into two main tribes, or "Ufs," Yaenk and Hael, who trade the kingship off between the two of them whenever a king appears weak. Under these two main tribes are innumerable sub-tribes or "Sufs," who, again, often war among themselves, and mostly consist of people who think themselves close, such as a group of related villages. Under these Sufs are the individual villages themselves, and this basic level is where every leader calls upon when he calls the tribe of the Excalaer to bring to him their menfolk for a war. Any level of these people can refuse the call to war, but the lose the right to whatever is gained in the war be it booty or land, and will often draw the ire of the tribes that did participate in the war, which is never a good thing. The language of the Excalaer is similar to what we would call proto-German, but lacks several sounds, most notably "J" and "Q" while also gaining the sound "ae." Sentance structure is free, meaning as long as a verb and noun are in the sentence, it works and can be understood by a speaker of Excalaer.
National Symbol: A bloodied sword, the color Blue.
Briefly Describe, in a paragraph, your nation's religion: The world spirit created everything. After this event, the world spirit broke into four beings, Yan and Han who managed the light, and Fuer and Fenofi, who managed the night. All four made the people of the world, who contained a piece of all of the gods. They also blessed those who prayed to them, helping their chosen in war. Eventually, both couples back one of the two tribes of the Excalaer, Yan and Han backing Yaenk, and Fuer and Fenofi backing Hael, and their godly conflicts are played out on Earth, in the form of the two tribes on Earth jockeying for power and influence.
Map Claims: Central France, around Paris.
12 Starting Techs: Mining to Iron Military Applications (5), Alphabet, Masonry, Archery, Animal Husbandry, Organized Hunting, Domestication of the Horse, The Wheel
AH, PMT, some FT.


Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate idealistic egalitarian with many strong convictions.

Speaking of which, I was wondering... I'm not really planning to, since it would lead to mass revolts in my eastern province and I would probably lose, but theoretically, if I were go on the offensive against the Persians or Medians, how would I do that? Or even the Zawbara, though that seems unlikely.
