New Civilizations (2nd Era, OOC, Always Open )

Ew. Filthy Communists.

Nobody can combat the World Revolution, for we have the power of drugs!

I did trade in opium at one point...

[Reatra]

Well, the random word picker has spoken. California gets a doctor!

Here's my congratulatory gift.

If National Geographic is to be believed, smallpox probably doesn't exist rn, and if it does, it's probably as much a threat to the Old World as the new

Because drugs are cool? And opium dreams are DIVINATION

I’m gonna be taking you for rehabilitation. You can go home when you say “Crack is Whack” and all the other bad ones.

smh you threaten to use biological warfare on innocent people and I'm the asshole


lol, sorry, just your joke prompted me to look up when smallpox began as a human disease



It seems lots of major diseases either start ~10000 years ago or faar later during Antiquity.

The Thracians were known for throwing hemp into fires and sitting down next to them. They also had good strong red wine. In a way, developing something like hot pepper laced smoke which the Aztecs used is kind of interesting. It would be the first use of nonlethal weaponry.

Because I was planning on traveling to India to make a narco-state.

So the first battle is the Battle of Surn, the strongest of the Iron Gate which are three large castles that border Ur and Uruk. Should Ur smack one then they will be getting into the heartland of Uruk and going to do the siege of Larsa and fight them. Expect crazy Nestosian engineering and Uruk tactics.

It's a sold plan B since I can be an empire an exile type of thing.

[Orostan]

Posted. Please tell me what you think of my posts and how they can be improved. The next post will involve Aaron being taken into the city of Luoyang.

You could, though I'm currently holding posts, so I can't really advance my storyline beyond Early Summer 2975 atm. So, if you do arrive in the region try and blend in for the time being. Or use one of the southern cities as a home base.

Oh no, I don't mean Indus, I mean the actual Subcontinent. I actually have mapped out half of the coastline and Sri Lanka in case I have to do a Plan B. But Indus is cool.

Oooh, yes please. Get a coastal Empire going! The southern coastal region in India is full of spices. Do it!

So the first battle is the Battle of Anhur, the strongest of the Iron Gate which are three large castles that border Ur and Uruk. Should Ur smack one then they will be getting into the heartland of Uruk and going to do the siege of Larsa and fight them. Expect crazy Nestosian engineering and Uruk tactics.

Of course, Scholar Etana listed a few crazy things. I would imagine the rotating trebuchet base would be developed as well as the double siege crossbow, a crossbow with a little more punch based on the double bow. Pull it along in a big war cart and you have your first mobile artillery. Or just have a way to transport pieces quickly. There are also a few things which have been used before, the siege ramp. If you wanted to be historically accurate like the Khmer, you would have units on the back of elephants. This is a historical example of a triple siege crossbow. It is a Chinese weapon. Note the iron and heavy hide lamellar armor on the troops, possibly rhinoceros hide or water buffalo.



I would imagine treachery would be in order.

[Europa Undivided]

I will put the biography later. :3

Author Applicaiton
Name: Nikolai Aleksandr Sapohznik
Age: 22
Height and Weight: 5'8"
Skin, hair, and eye description: Nikolai has the fair skin typical to people of Slavic descent, though he has the black hair that his mixed Levantine heritage grants. His eyes are a dim grey.
Picture:

Prior Profession: College Student
Level of education: He finished bachelors in Psychology and was in his second year for Journalism. He also had crash courses in Business Administration. It should also be noted that he knows a TON of history and practical science due to self education and YouTube.
Physique description: It can be said that Nikolai won the genetic lottery; he doesn't need to workout too much to maintain his form (which is not super impressive either, mind you). He isn't particularly a heavy lifter, but he compensates with the mind that he has.
Useful skills: He has a great stock of knowledge in practical science, which means he pretty much knows how to make concoctions like gunpowder and cement (not that he can do it himself, he just knows the procedures) Also, his knowledge of administration and history lets him govern quite well, along with (very shaky given that the history of the world will be shaped by authors) being able to predict what will happen in the future.

National Origin: American; fourth generation Russian Jewish immigrant.
What were you doing prior to falling asleep and awakening in the past?: He was writing the next chapter in his book entitled "Never Forget", a collection of interviews on multiple Holocaust survivors that he spoke to. He was making it into a novel.
Description of personality: Nikolai is a clever joker, perhaps best known for his love of memes on history and science. He has many strange interests, and is seen as strange as a result. However, he is also a flaunter of his superior intellect and looks down on those that don't understand in his level, giving him a mixed reputation. Still, he is ostensibly caring and defensive for those he sees as a friend or as equals, but other people that are not as close don't receive the same treatment, and may even be seen with contempt if they had assaulted him in the past.
Where in the world are you landing?: Near modern day Moscow, Russia.

Autobiography/Biography: Nikolai Sapohznik was born in New York City as the first child of Piotr Andreevich Sapohznik and Isabella Clark. He had two siblings after himself: Grigory and Catherine. Growing up, he proved himself to be especially intelligent in the sciences, though he was a no show in the arts (except for singing, he's a crazy good tenor). He was homeschooled due to his asthmatic tendencies, and as a result finished junior high school in just two years instead of the standard four years. At age 16, he entered colñege in New York, where he excelled in general and finished at age twenty. It was in his second course that he met the love of his life; a girl by the name of Elizabeth Turner. What's more is that she was his first and last, and in their junior year he finally proposed to her while being surrounded by their friends and some professors, to which she said yes. It should be noted, however, that Nikolai is, for the lack of a better word, a pretty conservative person, and he pretty much forbade Elizabeth from night life. This produced some... Let's say, friction between them as they neared graduation, but Elizabeth would see that her boyfriend's thinking is for the best. As all of this went on, he spent most of his free time learning about things that most people wouldn't consider useful.

What are your intentions for this RP, what's the long term goal?: To create a unified Slav nation stretching from Russia to Poland down to Bulgaria. Never mind that they haven't migrated to most of those places yet; these lands will be ours given enough time.
What people or places are you taking inspiration from?: The peoples of Eastern Europe, of course. Oh, and the Levant.
Why did you choose to land where you did?: Düring the days of the Russian Empire, his ancestors lived near Krakow, and when anti-Jewish persecution heightened under the czarist regime, that is when they fled to America.
What vibe should we get from your civilization and it's culture?: Take Russia and Poland and make them convert to Judaism (ala Khazar Khaganate). Also make them convert to Christianity when the time comes.
What are your character's motivations?: He knows most of the events that would eventually transpire in history, and when the time comes, he wishes for Eastern Europe to be a powerful safe haven for the Jews while the rest of the world persecutes them.
Theme Song?: One Million Voices by Two Steps from Hell
What do you wanna see in this RP? What would make it better?:

Finished.

Oh, that is very likely to put you in fairly early conflict against all the Commonwealth’s puppet governments trusted allies.

Welcome to this RP!

If anyone has any suggestions on how I can improve my RP, I'm all ears.

No doubt, think Nux may help me secure some war elephants since the ones I use are more labor extensive. If they use that.

I am tempted to actually make a signature just so I can add this to a quote list.
