Adamu, the glorius leader of Assyria for six decades, has passed away. With great Ceremony, the leader was buried in the northern hills of Nineveh. Never in the history of the mighty Assyrian empire had such an event taken place. Dignitaries from Persian and the Hatte empires attended the week long rites, unfortunately the Babylonian ruler was incommunicado.
Before he passed away, Adamu had concluded two deals with the respective empires that involved technological exchanges, lots of gold and other secret stuff. On the deathmask of Adamu, a big smile was carved.

The Assyrian empire falls into chaos without the presence of Adamu the Great. Things look pretty black for the Assyrians. Taxes are no longer collected, the wise men have returned to their own secluded cells and no progress in any field is made. And thus citizens spend their money on luxeries. Surely a situation that cannot last.

After the mourning period of a full year had passed, the scouts spread again in all directions the wind took them. No less then six huts were finally entered. One tribe, settled on the shores of a vast lake, decided to join the Assyrian empire. Three tribes shared knowledge, one other gave gold, and the last tribe dispatched a group of mercenaries to join the ranks of the skirmishers.

The Assyrian empire once again is expanding…

It appears the Assyrians have more huts within a stone's throw than the Greeks and Minoans have in their entire territories.

Germanos: I was opening up the game, and noticed that the name of the Assyrian ruler has disappeared (in the opening screen that shows all 7 civs and tells you how many cities and units they have). Was that something you did intentionally? Before I play my turn, you might want to take another look at your save file and make sure nothing's amiss.

Nothing wrong with the that, Adamu has passed away, and currently anarchy reigns in Assyria. Most likely order will be restored next turn.
Things wouldn't be the same as they were at the Assyrian court though

The vastness of the dessicated Eastern and Western deserts is deeply depressing to the Nile-born Son's of Egypt. From time to time they find poor nomad villages eking out an existence in the barren lands - often a source of bandits or mercenary recruits - but there is little else to speak of. Only the rumor of rich cities and verdant lands drives them onward.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Now 300 years old, our Immortal Sovereign, Mursillis (or Mursili) enters an occult trance and is hidden from the people. A council of nobles and high priests assumes administrative duties. More advances are learned from the hut dwellers of Anatolia... regretfully there mustn't be many of those left, we will have to look elsewhere soon.

Our trusted friends are advised to set their attitude to worshipfull, since their last delegate was impolite and accepted nothing but money. We 'll let you do his "headclipping" for us, thank you

In the picture, Mursillis is embraced by the gods.

And from the ashes of old Assyria arose a strong and healthy Kingdom.

The decade of Anarchy has passed now that the Assyrian Wise Men have decided Assyria, vast as it is, must be ruled by a strong Family, a devine Family, to whom the Gods have benevolently entrusted the rule of the land and its servents.
Yangi, a distant relative of old Adamu (may the Gods have mercy on his soul), has been seen in the many visions of the priests, and he has accepted the Throne of Assyria, second to the Gods only.

Great reforms have taken place, and more recources will be allocated to the education of the people.


For most, the tired and wounded scouts have rested, but still two Towns were visited. It brought Assyria Gold and wisdom on the use of Tin.

The Lake of Arrapkha appears to be odly salty…We wonder if such lakes are common in this part of the world.

Mekret was pleased. Behind him, smoke from the burning city of Gaza rose high into the sky. Ahead a chain of captives trudged slowly, mournfully westward towards Egypt. Soon they would till new fields, freeing up more Egyptians to join the armies moving relentlessly across the Eastern Desert. It was true after all, and the reports from Ar-Seth and the distant Galilee-bound 4th Skirmishers had confirmed it - Canaan WAS a land of milk and honey. Soon - very soon - all it's cities would join those along the Nile in proclaiming allegiance to the Nomarch of Memphis!

Oh lucky towns through Asia's peopled realms!
Oh thou lucky land of Persia, the port of boundless wealth
Thou hast the fortune of bidding welcome thy new and glorious
Great King Cyrus!!! His powers are unseen of the world and
Only the King of Assyria is close to his state!
May Ahura Mazda watch over thee and thy children, oh great Persia!
(That means Persia enterred Monarchy; first two sentences courtesy of Aeschylus, slightly changed to better match this context)

(almost) All is well for the glorious Persian empire. In the north, scouts are exploring the shores of a great lake in hope of one day founding new settlements here. Some other unlucky scouts have met villainous barbarians at the river Araxes in northern Media Atropatene; they are unlikely to survive a battle, but the Barbarians pose no real threat. Meanwhile, Tabari mercenaries have joined the Persian army and are travelling the sacred road between Ecbatana and Rhagae in hope of encountering the Barbarians before they make too much uneccesary trouble.

Hostilities between Babylon and Persia are truly disturbing ! We ask Babylon if they could provide some more information on the nature of the situation, either publicly or via private channels.
Assyria hopes the situation could be solved diplomatically, as Assyria has friendly relations with with nations.

To Babylon we propose a meeting between 2 to 6 pm Babylonian Time (5 to 9 pm Universal Coordinated Time), either tomorrow ar the day after.

Persia is ready to settle the conflict by any means. No Persian soldier will cross the Tigris! A peace treaty should be signed as soon as possible, for Persia has no interest in Mesopotamia.
