Age of Roma: 300 BCE (OOC/Signups) Open

[Prusslandia]

Yup. Hell, I can probably convince various tribes to come and help. Imagine having thousands of germanic warriors attacking northern rome, while vikings raid the south.

You'll never get through my legionaries.

Yup, I will. Get your attention southward, make you leave the north undefended, or lightly defended.

[Vulkanas]

Do the Geats know about the British Isles yet? Just want to know whether I have to explore before I do the old loot and pillage. Or should I go for the East? Or perhaps sail the rivers of Russia to the riches of Greece? The possibilities are endless. Of corse I probably won't be following the Nordic down to Rome. Also unlike the Nordi, the Geats won't be making friends with anyone they meet either.

Although you know if the Nordi need help in Rome I'd be happy to assist a weaker tribe... Hehe...

We'll just fence up in Rome, we have aqueducts remember.

There's legends and myths that suggest the presence of the British Isles, but you don't have any maps detailing much outside of the Baltic Sea area. So, you'll have to do a bit of exploring prior to satisfying your bloodlust

[Nuxipal]

Country: Quat-hadasht (Carthage)
Demonyms: Carthaginian, Punic
Currency: Gold and Silver coinage
Name of Ruler: Hamilcar Magonid and Hanno Barcid
Do you know where it is on the map?: Of course, and I'm building a google earth map for myself as usual.
Population: ~150,000 in Carthage, 1,250,000 across all territory(primarily in cities), additional Berber populace not included

In-Game Focus: Unite the Punic Cities under one Banner and defeat the Greeks, Civilize and incorporate the Berbers, gain control of the wealth of Hispania.

-101- (Keep this so I can find your app)

It was accepted previously, but It's not in the op.

I'll create several and let you pick from them Alouite

Modifiers of Carthage:

Heirs of Tyre: With the fall of Tyre to Alexander the Great, Carthage stood as the only Phoenician power left. Phoenician civilization shifted west and Carthage dominated the old and rich trading empire of Phoenicia. The wealth of Carthage is unrivaled and its naval dominance is unquestioned in the Western Mediterranean as a way of protecting its trade empire.

Grain of Sardinia: Sardinia grew as the primary source of food for Carthage due to its removal from threats from the Berber tribes. Carthaginian Armies are easily resupplied so long as they are near the coast or a river.

Cothon: Carthage built its harbors efficiently. Cothons were built to house and construct vessels in record times with minimal space used. The inner portion of Carthaginian Harbors at major cities were reserved for military vessels while the expansive outer harbor was for merchant ships. The efficient use of space allowed Carthage to garrison its ports with ships permanently while allowing for more trade to flow through its harbors. All Carthaginian cities have a garrison of Trireme and Quinqueremes.

Armies of Africa: While the Carthaginian Navy was always the most valued of its Military Branches, the Army was tasked with defending settlements and spreading influence across colonial regions of Africa and Iberia. Keeping a Stable of Elephants was of vital importance to Carthage. Chariots too were seen as a necessity. Utmost was the use of auxiliary forces from its colonies. Balearic Slingers and Numidian Cavalry among others.

Citizen Navy: The Navy of Carthage is led by aristocracy, but it is manned by the lower class whom are hired on as citizens and paid wages and given training. This prevents unrest in cities as the lower classes tend to have work instead of free time to plot the downfall of their rulers. Provides stability to all Carthaginian Port Cities.

Greek Rivalry: For five hundred years the Phoencians and Greeks were rivals on the Mediterranean Sea. Then when the major cities of Phoenicia fell to the Assyrians and then the Persians everything was changed. Carthage took up the Punic Mantle and continued the rivalry with success. While never able to strike at the Greek Homeland, the Greeks have been met with minimal success in the Central and Western Mediterranean. Bonus fighting Greeks west of the Ionian Sea.

African Interior: Beyond the strip of land controlled directly by Carthage lies the Interior of the African continent. A scorching desert where nomadic raiders hide and move from oasis to oasis. It can never be tamed by civilized man and only kept at bay by vigilance. Bonus to Army units inside of Carthaginian held Territory against Natives(Berbers, Celts, Tauregs, etc)



I'd figure 2 or 3 of them would be good, but I put enough so that the ones Alouite deems most fair could be used.

Just collected all the Carthage Data. I'm at a location with internet, but won't be super active just yet.

You wot m8 ?

[Lisbane]

It seems the odds are stacked against me. Vuoi un po di soldi?

[Alouite]

Heh, even the Samnites would love the destruction of Rome. But then again as OP I'll be moderating the Nordic people's ability to reach you.

Don't worry, most of ky early southern exploration will be trial and error. I'll plague the Spaniards for a bit, before I even think about Rome.

Ruma thu satnal Rasna? (Rome a satellite of the Etruscans?)

Mai , la gloria di Roma prevarrà !

[Lisbane]

Do you think that I could turn Rome into a dictatorship early?

[G-Tech Corporation]

Do you think that I could turn Rome into a dictatorship early?

"In times of great peril/'tis best that one bear sway/then choseth we a dictator/that all men must obey."

Rome should have the military strength to beat her immediate rivals, so I wouldn't worry too much. You'll have to work though.

Hmm... As long as I have southern Italy by the time the Nordic get to Rome and the idiots up north attack. A republic is still liable.

[Mesrane]

To read through seventeen pages of OOC or not to read . . . thinking no.

Anyway, Epraria how do you feel about a Pontus-Armenian alliance?

[Alouite]

Akai, could you get me a list of the accepted? I'm gonna start tagging accepted Rpers with the tag A1. You should too. I'm sorry for the lag in getting the OP updated guys. Real life and communicating in this can conflict with time.

[Alouite]

I need to add the Roman Republic, Carthage, Colchis, Baktria, the Brigantes, the Caeladonians, the Averni, Athens, Byzantion Rebels, Hittite Rebels, Sardes, Kush, and Armenia. Did I miss anyone?

the Sardes player chose Colchis instead

You have Epirus already?

Ah.

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

I'd like to point out Romans are Italian, and belong in Italy. The Sabines, though, have been there longer and are the actual natives of Italy. The Etruscans, though, preceded them both and are indigenous. Romans are Italian, Sabines are natives, and Etruscans are indigenous. This is a fun streak.

[Alouite]

Edited some more Modifiers in. Will get a few more and then get that IC done.

[Azaflaza]

Highlanders life- like the Picts in the north, the Brigantes are primarily located in mountainous regions which gives them a familiarity with living and fighting in these terrains. Bonus when fighting in highland terrain or fighting an enemy without this modifier.

King in the north- king of Brigantia rules over a huge amount of land equating to pretty much all of Northern England, as such he is powerful and influencial. Bonus to public relations with the king throughout the british isles making conquered populations quick to be subdued.

North/South divide- the hardships and struggles of life in Brigantia has created a cultural divide between the northern Kingdom and the southern kingdoms, as such a rivalry exists between the two regions. Disadvantage of diplomacy with southern kingdoms

Brigantia rules the waves- with an extensive coastline to defend from Nordic raiders and the typical marine associations with a islander culture, the Brigantes hold the strongest fleet in Britain. Bonus when fighting Coastal raiders.

202- updated modifiers for Brigantia

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

50 Shades of Tuscany

Yes. So much yes.

Now I'm just imagining the Nordic invasion of Etruria and they burst into the throne room and they go to the bedroom and stuff, and all she says is "What? No chains?"

[Unholy Byzantium]

I have a couple potential modifiers for Baktria...

Hellenism: Diplomatic boost with other Hellenic factions.

Successor Kingdom: As one of the heirs to the Alexandrian Empire, Baktria enjoys a certain level of international prestige. Improves morale of troops when engaged in conflict with other Successor States. If last Successor State in existence, Baktria gains a claim over Alexandrian Empire.

Baktrian Prosperity: Strategic location between India, China and Persia have allowed Baktrian cities to flourish. Boost towards commerce and industry in urban areas.

Multiculturalism: Baktria is an ethnically diverse melting pot of different ethnicities and culture: a place where Greeks, Persians, Indians and native Afghan tribes can all call home. Reduced civil unrest.

Enemy of the Steppe: Diplomatic penalty with Nomadic tribes.
