THE SINO-IROQUOIS WARS COME TO AN END
In a brilliant military campaign, commanded by General Falcon, our armies swept through what is now known as Nouva Terra: Salamanca, Niagara Falls (Mokra), Cattaraugus, and Allegheny. Much celebration was to be had when our people received the news that we had taken Salamanca. We got the pyramids, Leo's Workshop, and Copernicus Observitory. All of our troops not stationed to defend our cities were rushed to the war front to quelch the resistance. The Chinese cities quickly fell to a few of our tanks, and a need transport. After 3 cities were taken with just a handful of our tanks, A commander who goes by the name "Mr. T" said of the Chinese, "I pity the fools who use pikes!".
THE ASPHINXIAN GOLDEN AGE
If there ever was a golden age for a province, this is it. Asphinxia was not only the staging grounds for defending against the Iroquois invasion, they were the site of the recent banquet. Many citizens and dignitaries came, giving speeches, entertaining the party goers, and holding debates. The most interesting of which included Shaitan singing, and the Boil-Steamed Crab Debate. General Falcon was quoted saying, "We've gotta tell the world how they need to fix crabs"! President Chieftess even got in on the debate, siding with the Steam Crab side.
SPICE TRADERS GUILD RELOCATES
One of the oldest citizens groups in the nation is changing their headquarters to Arrakis, formerly Ayang. Chieftess was quoted as saying the move was due to its' more central location. The headquarters at Fox Next will remain as the Northern Branch. The STG Southern Branch is in Delphi.
ELECTION TIME
It's the elections again, and this time, there were plenty of posistions open! In fact, 2 provinces remain unfilled. Some blame the new law allowing only 1 government posistion per nominee, others blame 6 new posistion brought on by the new constitution, and expansion into Iroquois territory. While it may not be as exciting as Term 3, there are a few must-watch races! The Department of Science posistion is being decided between 2 former science leaders, Civanator and Strider! At last count, the two were in a virtual tie. The other race to watch, once again, is the Presidential Race. Chieftess and Donsig, also 2 presidents, are vying for the Term 5 spot, which may be the last term before our victory is met.

An interesting counting system you have here. obviously it goes:
2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6
That would make Apolyton the #1 civ site, wouldn't it?

Not all counting systems are alike...Unlike your (2,1,3) system, we go:
1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,2.
(I think I just sparked an international incident  )

for the most part (guns and explosives). I don't deny low-tech spear booby-traps were used or weren't effective against soldiers, I'm just saying they couldn't have gotten us out by those low-tech weapons alone.
BTW: If we had taken an offensive against North Vietnam (ie. Invade not just Linebacker II, bombing of North Vietnam, so a ground invasion) we MIGHT have won the biggest concern was bringing China into the war... like in Korea. Of Course the source of greatest uncertianty would be the "Underground" against the Democratic Vietnam government. Cause the NVA would be gone and the VietCong would remain as a threat. If we had attempted to take North Vietnam and China didn't jump in the VietCong would have been a MAJOR problem for the Democratic Vietnamese Government at the very least. That might have caused us to stay there longer to help 'em, and then increase the feeling that we were a "occupying" army and potentially increased support for the VietCong and eventually cause an overthrow of the government. But, this of course is all speculation, if we had taken North Vietnam the VietCong might also have died off after a while. But no one can really say for sure about the "what if" questions.
Sorry about going off on a tanget, I'm a bit of a History Nut. But anyway, guerilla warfare isn't accounted for in Civ III, so....
