=== Turn LXXI: 150 AD - 175 AD ===
=== NPC Events: ===
* Grand Roman-Persian War: The weakened Parthian Empire is forced to surrender, ceding Kandahar and Pajur to the Kushan to the east and forced to give the regions of Mesopotamia and Gerrha to the Roman Empire. Thus, they lose their capital in Ctesiphon and are forced to move it to Pasargadae. Muscat-Oman regains not only Qeshm island, but also coastal lands they held before.
* Roman Empire: Antoninus Pius dies in 161 and only four years later new Emperor Marcus Aurelius and co-emperor Lucius Verus don't only have to deal with the Grand Roman-Persian War, but also a plague that breaks out that is suspected to might have been a breakout of smallpox. The plague claims Lucius Verus' life, leaving Marcus Aurelius emperor for a few years. The Roman Empire does find success however with the conquest of Hibernia, claiming the entire island for the glory of Rome. They also split a part of Bosporus into a new vassal kingdom that co-operates with Armenia, Colchis. Persecution of Christians increases under the rule of Aurelius, slightly controversially.
* Han: The Vietnamese gain independence under Van Xuan and the dynasty suffers from the Xia invasions, losing their final vassal in the Southern Xiongnu and the continued chaotic political intrigue. The Emperor, Emperor Ling, doesn't help the situation as he is less interested in state affairs and keeping everything together and more interested in being on top of the world with his luxurious lifestyle and indulging in drinking and women. When he actually tries to do something, he introduces a practice of selling political offices for money, which just leads to widespread corruption and it damaged the Han civil system. The peasants are furious and many of them start to follow a certain man named Zhang Jue, who sees all of the chaos as Emperor Ling's fault and he starts gathering something. A storm is on its way...
* Indian Fifteen Years War: Ceylon makes a comeback on behalf of a brilliant general but not for long, the city of Oroborus is hotly contested and when Ceylon is pushed back far a peace deal is made, but the war between Virisha and Karnataka goes on for 2 more years, with no one managing to gain the upper hand. Eventually it is decided that the city is divided between the two powers. A Karnatakan philosopher by the name of Vijay Ganyala who served and survived described the situation as a constant cycle of life and death and names the existant symbol of the snake eating its own tail "Oroborus". This becomes popular and eventually the old name for the symbol starts being replaced in Karnataka and parts of other southern Indian kingdoms. Ceylon faces the end of its power as a significant kingdom, as they fail to secure the dual monarchy as the Mysoric dynasty dies out and a new dynasty, the Kurjatve, rebels. They form a new Mysoric state while the remaining Ceylonic lands in mainland India also fall to new kingdoms: Trivandrum, Nadu and the Mahlukya dynasty.
* Baja People: Some minor migration occurs.
* Chiqua: Some minor migration occurs.
* Jurchens and Khitans: Two breakaway cultures from the Tungusic culture.
* Beikthano: They build up the important city of Pagan that earlier was a Pyu city-state. Beikthano starts to become almost like the Yamato of Southeast Asia, as they become the center of Pyu (and some Mon) culture and bring a lot of migrants.
* Southern Xiongnu: Nang Zhe's kingdom falls into chaos as Ikhkhüre people rise up against the laws of their Han leader. Several tribes rise up and Nang Zhe is forced to move the center of his kingdom westward. He manages to secure peace with the new small chiefdoms of Tunggao, Qiuda, Urgench, Dedu, Unmy and Yamna and thus his kingdom, now called Gasheng, lies as a Han Chinese "exclave" in terms of culture.
* Miyagi and Shizamaki: Their largest settlements of Sendai and Moyoto respectively become their capitals.
* Bornholm: Towards the end of the 160s, a Vesnian by the name of Ernst Hemmer seeks to regain the island of Bornholm, along with its city, Heineg, under Vesnian control from the invading force of Jylland decades ago.
* Marájo: Some slight expansion along the Amazon rivers and streams.

=== Turn LXXII: 175 AD - 200 AD ===
=== NPC Events: ===
* Roman Empire: Marcus Aurelius and his new co-emperor Commodus integrate Mesopotamia and what was Gerrha into the empire as the provinces of Mesopotamia and Arabia. Eventually Marcus Aurelius dies and Commodus rules on his own during the period called Pax Romana, a period of relative peace within the empire. Commodus survived an assassination attempt conspired by his sister and some senators, whom he had executed afterwards. Although Commodus himself wasn't so peaceful within his head. He slowly went insane and eventually changed the name of Rome to Colonia Commodiana (Colony of Commodus) and started thinking that he was Hercules, the god and started to battle lions and other wild animals as a gladiator. In 192, he was assassinated on New Years' Eve, he first had his food poisoned, but he vomited it up and survived that. However, he was then strangled while bathing. This ends the Nerva-Antonine dynasty and thus Pertinax succeeds him, but doesn't rule for long as a new period of instability starts through various political schemes and issues. Civil war breaks out once again in the empire. 193 becomes known as the Year of the Five Emperors, as Rome had just that, ending when Septimius Severus seizes power and remains in it, founding the Severan dynasty. He starts expanding several of the Limes (frontier defenses by the borders, although not all of them) as the future of Rome lies ahead.
*Fall of the Han dynasty: In 184, Zhang Jue and his followers would revolt, in an event known as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, named after the followers, who wore yellow turbans. Millions rose up and Chinese officials panicked. Thus they called upon regional warlords to help them battle the rebels, some of them being Cao Cao, a tyrannical man named Dong Zhuo and many others. The Yellow Turban Rebellion was a failure as it was crushed under the power of the warlords and Zhang Jue was brutally killed along with it. But by relying on this, the emperor and other officials had pretty much given a lot of their power, to those same warlords. Emperor Ling dies of a stroke in 189 and thus his son, Liu Bian, who is but 13 years old, becomes emperor and is very much vulnerable to those around him. Liu Bian becomes Emperor Shao. Of course being a child he is unable to rule, so his uncle He Jin becomes regent. He hates the eunuchs, loyal servants to the emperor and conspires with warlord Yuan Shao to kill all of them but Empress dowager Ren ends up in the conflict too and the plan is changed. Dong Zhuo, the tyrannical warlord is called in to "convince" Ren. During his trip from the northwest, the eunuchs find out about He Jin's plan and lures him to the capital, where they decapitate him. Yuan Shao shows up though with some of He Jin's subordinates and with imperial forces a massacre began, which worsened as nearby peasants started to riot. Emperor Ling was forced to flee Cheng'an. They were stopped as Dong Zhuo arrived and as he entered the capital he took this to his advantage and became the new regent. He assassinated Emperor Shao with poison and set his brother Liu Xie as emperor, becoming Emperor Xian. Being regent, he ruled with an iron fist, killing anyone who disagreed with his absolute decisions and broke protocols when it came to respecting the emperor. The other warlords didn't like his dictatorial tyrannical rule, so they formed a coalition and rose up against him. Dong Zhuo employed legendary warrior Lu Bu, who was a grand fighter and also was known to betray every warlord he fought for. But it didn't go so well for the coalition, while they took Luoyang, the war became a stalemate and all of them secretly wanted to be emperor, so their armies stood back. Then it is said that an official invited both Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo and told them they could marry his daughter, seperately. When Lu Bu found out about Dong Zhuo gaining the girl as his concubine, he and other officials assassinated Dong Zhuo and set his body on fire in the streets. With a huge power gap in China and a ton of warlords who all want to rule, brutal civil war has broken out, that is incredibly intricate. The big warlords that are on the best path include Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Liu Kang although Emperor Xian is still technically around.
*Parthian Empire: The Parthian Empire has entered a state of decline since losing the Grand Roman-Persian War, and a group in the south following a royal house called the House of Sasan and their "king": Ardashir I, revolt, quickly sweeping through parts of the south and making an agreement with Muscat-Oman to give Qeshm and smaller lands to hem, in exchange for other lands near the Strait of Hormuz. Muscat-Oman initially disagress, but when faced with the threat of blocking their spice trade route, they agree. Meanwhile, in Bactra, another dynasty revolts to try and take all of Persia.
*Ceylonic Collapse: Ceylon suffers from more decline and the dynasty barely stands up due to members of it dying, both from things such as disease and assassination from those who want to try and take power but none succeed as a peasant rebellion similar to the Yellow Turban Rebellion breaks out but splinters as different clans form and the island is split under new leaders. The emperor tries to flee to the Maldives, but the ship captain dies of disease and everyone on board ends up stranded and eventually die of starvation or suicide. The people on the Maldives, whom are non-Ceylonic and don't know of much of the events on the mainland, eventually find out that the emperor might be dead, but start to rule as an independent realm under their lord, who waits and waits for the emperor or a new one to greet them as they haven't received any news or anything by boat for years. They become the Kingdom of Mattali.
*Aksum: They conspire to kill the king of Saba, which succeeds and they install a new king as a vassal, he and the new king divide Najran, while fighting skirmishes against the Yemeni coalition, which eventually leads to stalemate and no new lands are given or lost as the war is forcefully ended as the Yemeni coalition failed to protect one of their allies. Meanwhile the new king of Saba dies of disease and his son takes over, just old enough to rule. He wants a free Saba and starts planning a revolt against the Aksumite vassalization. And that revolt starts at the end of the year 200.
*Ainu Conflict: The war is a victory for Osozaki, although the ski units are shown to be fairly unnecessary, but even though there are tribes that accepted this (to a certain extent), they threaten Osozaki that if they expand more in their lands, they will invade. They also forbid Osozaki people from traveling into their lands, or by their coasts.
*Battle of Heineg: A battle between the Jyllanders and Vesnian tribes occurs on the island of Bornholm. A brutal battle, eventually the Jyllanders are overwhelmed and forced to retreat and thus the island is within Vesnian hands once more.
*Nuuktik: They take the rest of eastern Canadian lands, barring a few northern, nearly uninhabitable islands.
*Sumatra: Aceh, Utara, Malacca and Tumasik launch another war against Riau, Kotvali and Seffuta. Once more Singingi refuse to join on their allies side, sparking tension. Kotvali doesn't take long to fall as Riau loses islands to Malacca and Tumasik. Riau makes a secret peace with Tumasik as war rages on. Malacca also integrates Keddah after their king dies and a succession crisis starts. Many of the people of Keddah are pro-Malacca though, so there is little resistance.
*Goguryeo: They unify with Meongju through royal marriage.
*Yamato: They are concerned over the fall of Han, as the trade routes are weakened. There are still routes from Yilou through Goguryeo and over to the islands, as well as ones directly from Goguryeo, but there is significant slow down in the rise of Japanese nations.
*Beikthano: Beikthanos new king is expansionist and declares war on Suwarnabhumi, which has been suffering from a stagnant economy and decline for a while. The war is slow but Beikthano manages to get villages in the north to join them, giving them a coastline.
*Ezo: They expand onto Sakhalin and while there is resistance at first, they let those Ainu do their own cultural traditions and such and allow them to consider themselves something else than Ezo, in exchange for promising to give the Ezoites their able-bodied people in potential further conflicts.
*Emishi: Some of them join Ataki and Kaga.
*Cianjur: New kingdom on Java.
*Champa: The Champa kingdom is formed in what is today's Southern Vietnam.
*Bangkat: They ignore requests from the Riau-Kotvali-Seffuta alliance to join them and instead focus on building up their economy. They also create a risky colony on Borneo and encounter some Pulau natives, some of which aren't so happy over what they consider foreign invaders.
*Tunggao, Qiuda and Urgench: Young Ikhkhüre chiefdoms, they form an alliance and plan to take out Gasheng for good.

=== Turn LXXIII: 200 AD - 225 AD ===
=== NPC Events: ===
* Roman Empire: New emperor Septimius Severus leads a Military Monarchy, as he openly uses the army to back himself up, paying them well to ensure such. A fire in the city of Sparta destroys it to a non-rebuildable state, although some relics and such are salvaged.
* Four Kingdoms: A ton of chaos occurs in China, constant civil wars, political intrigue and betrayals. Main things that happen is that Lu Bu starts working for Xu Zin and then surprise surprise, murders him and becomes a warlord of his own. He is defeated by others though and is executed. Eventually after alliances and large clashes, including the Battle of Red Cliffs by the Yangtze River, where Cao Cao is defeated by the forces of Ling Gu (son of Ling Ning) and Liu Biao. He is unable to conquer lands south of the Yangtze River. Eventually the remaining warlords include Cao Pi (son of Cao Cao, who died of disease), Liu Biao and Ling Gu. There would be battling between the three and the Xia would be involved as well, but there would always be stalemate. In 220, Cao Pi declares himself emperor of Wei. This is followed by Ling Gu who declares himself emperor of Cheng and finally Liu Biao names himself emperor of Shao. Four Chinese kingdoms (or rather, dynasties) are now the combatants in a fight for becoming ruler of China.
* Parthian Empire: It falls to the power of the Sassanids at the Battle of Asaak. The northeast battles with the Sassanids but none of the come out on top. Thus peace arrives in Persia between the Sassanid Empire and the Kufovid dynasty. The Sassanids already start to build up power rivaling the Romans and they see oppurtunity in the weak Kushan Empire.
* Kushan Empire: Decline gets worse and worse and eventually a pretender dynasty gains power and eventually the heir to the throne and the pretender both try to get at the throne. This results in the split of the once mighty Indian kingdom into two, the Eastern Kushan and the Western Kushan.
* Second Ainu War: Osozaki mercilessly makes its way into the Ainu lands, angering practically all of Hokkaido. The Ainu kingdoms of Ezo and Seren join in against the invading Osozakans. The Osozakan encirclement attempt works, but when the armies meet the huge numbers of the Ainu and supporting kingdoms, they are pushed back and a struggle between the two sides lasts for many years. Eventually Osozaki gets a force going around the southern mountains going and an assault in the north moving into Ezo and Seren. They are stopped in the mountain ranges though and the amount of capital required to keep the Osozakan military going starts to drain the kingdom's economy. The naval tactics by Osozaki prove not so functional. In the south, west and east they practically function, but in the north the ships end up lost due to low knowledge of the seas and the small but capable navies of Ezo and Seren manage to hold slightly well. The presence of naval forces simply sitting in waters as a pseudo-naval blockade drain resources due to the ships not running into any trade cogs and just sitting there, requiring supplies to stay around. Ezo begins retreating into Sakhalin, burning villages behind them so that the Osozaki cannot use any of their farms or such. Seren people start fleeing into the neutral kingdom of Kuri.
* Aksum: They are struck by the Saba revolt, which takes most of their northern lands in Arabia. They also face off against Hadrhaumat, but they manage to push in slightly there as well as the south of Saba.
* Sumatra: War ends. Kotvali is taken and lands from Riau are taken by Utara. Riau, Singingi and Solok invade Seffuta to take resources and make a comeback and also for Seffuta not upholding their alliance in the previous war.

* Kyushu: They sell their peninsular Korean territory back to Goguryeo.
* Germanics: A splinter occurs and 4 main Germanic cultures remain after it. These include the Rhine, Hermionics, Vandals and East Germanics. The massive amounts of influence also leaves the Vesnians practically becoming a Germanic culture.
* Dacia and Bosporus: The two vassal kingdoms fight and defeat the Varsa tribes living by the bay of the Southern Bug river, forming a border and making the Varsa landlocked.
* Kalinga: Kalinga conquers Vahli.
* Bantu: They take some Khoisan lands.
* Kanem: An African kingdom located around Lake Chad is formed.
* Botocudo: Some expansion occurs.
* Shizamaki: They respectfully decline, since they already have an alliance with Osozaki and also they are not interested in any personal or political unions through marriage.
* Inca: The Inca fully take over the Sedena culture.
* Khergits: Blizzards and bad weather force the Khergit nomads of the north to migrate southwards, leaving those lands empty, other than to other peoples there.

=== Turn LXXIV: 225 AD - 250 AD ===
=== NPC Events: ===
* Roman Empire: Emperor Severus Alexander is suddenly assassinated by his own troops in 235. This starts a long period of over 20 people claiming the throne. Skirmishes between generals start, the Caledoni invade to take back lands in Britannia, peasants rebel, foreigners invade to raid and migrate in tons and several vassal kingdoms gain independence, including Nubia which becomes the Kingdom of Kush and Colchis which becomes Lazica. The Crisis of the Third Century as this is known as has put the Roman Empire into a very dangerous situation, they are also invaded by the Sassanids and fight them together with Armenia, but they lose. The Sassanid Empire take the provinces of Mesopotamia and Arabia, becoming a new strong rival. Many generals hire barbarians to help out, but this looks like it could backfire given how much power the barbarians gain from this.
* Four Kingdoms: Wars regularly break out, but due to stalemates, not much happens and blood is shed for practically nothing. The Xia dynasty, however was unable to capitalize from its independence decades ago and without a true capital and a decentralized government, Wei and Shao form a temporary alliance, invading the Xia.
* Sassanid Empire: After defeating the Romans and Armenians, they look east to the declining Western Kushan "Empire". They and the Kufovid dynasty invade and take chunks out of the nation, which also loses lands in the north to migrating Uighurs and landlords that leave their own realms. The Sassanids then betray Muscat-Oman, which they had made an agreement when the Sassanid revolt first occured. They invade and take the Persian lands of Oman quickly, but struggle to defend the newly added lands along the Arabian coast. They retreat for now and plan an invasion.
* Second Ainu War: Osozaki ends up conquering Hokkaido as Ainu people mass migrate and flee from the island northwards. Seren is no more. Ezo succeeds with its tactics of migrating north into Sakhalin though and stop the naval invasions of Osozaki with ships filled with reeds that were then set on fire, destroying a significant amount of Osozakan ships. The fact that the northern waters are rather treacherous and unknown to the Osozakans also make the invasion a failure. Osozakis large army also drains its economy further, even with the lowering of conscription. The war is practically won though, as Hokkaido now belongs to Osozaki.
* Eastern Kushan: While fairing better than their Western half, they face a crisis as well and suffer from revolts in the large cities of Pataliputra and Barigaza.
* Oroborus: While a divided city, it becomes a center for many intellectuals and scientists in not only Karnataka and Virisha, but almost all of India as a whole.
* Patwin: They settle to the northeast.
* Iberia and Albania: New Armenian nations formed by strong governors in Armenia itself.
* Pyu City-States: An alliance is formed by several Pyu City-States and thus a pseudo-confederation is formed under the protection of Beikthano.
* Sumatra: Seffuta is conquered and split between Solok, Riau and Singingi.
* Kanem: They send out settlers to expand the realm's borders.
* Kagan War of Aggression: Emperor Seian of Yamato accepts the Kagan invasion of Kazuko and joins in themselves, this upsets several clans in Yamato as well as a few kingdoms in Japan who find the Kagan justification of war to not be reasonable. Nevertheless the new kingdom ends up being shortlived as it is divided between Kaga and Yamato.
* Aksum: Battles and campaigns rage on, but the Aksumites lead as their charge pushes the Sabans and Qatabanis back. Saba is forced to switch capitals to their only remaining city, Najran.
* Beikthano: They invade the declining Kingdom of Suwarnabhumi and conquer most of it, while the rest is taken by Mon settlers.
* Emperor Xue's War: "Emperor" Xue of Gasheng is faced with a surprise when war breaks out in 248. He is ready against Qiuda and even pushes those forces back. But then Tunggao joins in and starts pushing from the north. Urgench helps supply the other two and starts sending mercenaries and volunteers to the frontlines.
* Kuri: They defeat the resistant Ainu and create a small settlement on the tip of Kamchatka.
* Funan: They expand a little.

=== Turn LXXV: 250 AD - 275 AD ===
=== NPC Events: ===
* Roman Empire: The Crisis of the Third Century plunges the Empire into civil war. A man named Postumus forms the Gallic Empire, controlling Gaul and Brittania, although he loses control of most of Britannia to a different man, a general named Tullius who is also fighting the Caledoni to the north. Meanwhile Palmyrus forms the Palmyrene Empire in most of Anatolia, the Levant, Cyprus and Egypt. The Gaelic peoples in Hibernia revolt and form Eire under Queen Riona. Eire captures the Isle of Man from Britannia. Meanwhile in the Roman Empire itself, Emperor Aurelian struggles to keep everything together while fighting the Palmyrene and Gallic Empire.
* Four Kingdoms: The Xia dynasty crumbles and is conquered by the Wei and Shao dynasties, however, Emperor Huan of Wei betrays his agreement with Emperor Leng of Han and conquers both of them, leaving only Cheng left, which they plan to invade soon enough.
* Sassanid Empire: Together with the Kufovid dynasty, they conquer the Western Kushan, with a few places becoming independent before the fall. Sassanid forces also conquer Muscat-Oman and they offer Arabat protection, which is accepted. The Sassanids look to support independent kingdoms to co-operate with in Arabia and thus look to get rid of the Aksumite Empire's activity in the peninsula.
* Kushan: With the fall of the Western Kushan, the Eastern Kushanite king Thinumma II declares the kingdom the only Kushan and thus is no longer Eastern Kushan. They are still in large amounts of turmoil though as the rebels in the west secede to the Kingdom of Barigaza, making the Kushan Kingdom landlocked. In the east more and more land is captured and they look to connect the rebel-controlled lands before attempting to create their own realm.
* Kazuko Situation: The conquest of Kazuko is incredibly controversial. In the meeting between Yamato and Osozaki, they cite support to their vassal as part of the justification of war and in terms of the sphere of influence issue, they suggest moving the influence border to the actual border in exchange for 1 000 soldiers of Yamato being in Osozaki's hands if needed and offering to buy a few of their dye products for double the price instead of giving them the lands. Hiroshima, incredibly critical of the invasion of Kazuko, calls for each Japanese kingdom to exclaim their view on the situation, if they support Yamato or not, for the sake of stability in Japan. Shikokus leader supports Yamato, but the people not as much. Clanism starts growing more in the kingdoms, especially in non-clanist states like Osozaki, Kaga and Miyagi. A more radical version of the ideology is developed, which is much more critical against the power of emperors and kings on the islands of Japan.
* Sumatra: Aceh and Utara's influence is great enough that they take Riau as a vassal for both of them, with different zones of control within the kingdom. Small parts of Riau is annexed into Utara. Worried about the power of these three, Malacca, Tumasik and Pahang make a secret alliance. Bangkat also makes its second attempt at colonizing Borneo. This time it is successful as Bangkat convinces the natives to let them have a trade post there and that the two will trade with eachother. The Bangkaters convinced the natives by introducing them to materials unknown to them before this.
* Aksum: They conquer Saba and move some of their forces in Hadrhaumat back to resupply and to send in reinforcements. They then, after failing to capture Qana, attempt an encirclement that is yet to have been successful. A naval invasion from Socotra is sent, but is an incredible failure as the crew got sick and were unable to deal damage when landing and got wiped out.
* Phosborua: Tolonrans invade Bosporus and eventually force a Roman official there to crown Emgke Driea as king of his own independent kingdom, which becomes Phosborua.
* Ainu: Ainu tribes migrate further into Tungusic lands.
* Emperor Xue's War: Qiuda, Tunggao and Urgench are victorious over Gasheng, with the first two gaining territory. To secure the three as strong Ikhkhüre chiefdoms, they all invade Dedu and Unmy in 273, with Yanma joining the defenders' side so that they aren't next.
* Andhrakan-Virishan War: Conflict over farmlands by their borders lead to war. Karnataka thinks of taking the opportunity to regain Oroborus, but their king decides to honor their agreement instead.
* Hiroshima, Kyushu and Miyagi: They all agree to Osozaki's proposal. Kyushu also secretly relays this information to Emperor Seian of Yamato, unbeknownst to any of the others. Miyagi is already trading with Kaga, due to the Japanese trade route, so they have no idea what Kaga means with this proposal.
* Bantu: Some small East African lands become Bantu-controlled.
