Turn 56 - 60.
=== Turn LVI: 225 BCE - 200 BCE ===
=== NPC Events: ===
* Second Punic War: A dispute over a settlement in Iberia with diplomatic contacts to Rome, named Saguntum, leads to the breakout of war between Aruns and the Roman Republic once more. Venenzia and Illyria join on Aruns' side as well. The war would see several Arunsioi victories under General Hannibal Barca and a surprise invasion organized by said General, in which he marched over the alps with almost 100 000 soldiers, including several African war elephants, although not many would survive the crossing. However, Roman General Scipio would rival Hannibal and eventually the tide of the war would turn. Rome's superior navy allowed them to stop Illyria from doing any practical damage while they focused on Aruns and somewhat on Venenzia. The Romans convince Iberian tribes to fight against the Arunsioi, due to their hatred of a second Arunsioi Iberia being established earlier. The war would again be a loss for Aruns, who are forced to surrender, losing many lands to Rome and becoming a Roman vassal. Ptolemaic Egypt, who has just made diplomatic contact with Rome, is gifted parts of todays Libya. Venenzia and Illyria do not, but Venenzia is quickly fully occupied. This period of the war, between Illyria and Rome, is called the Illyric War.
* Second Syrian War: Muscat is able to make peace with the Seleucids, gaining the lands they wanted. Meanwhile the Seleucid Empire is on the verge of breaking as Ptolemaic Egypt captures Damascus and continues to decimate armies. The Seleucids are unable to stop the forthcoming invasions.
* The Fall of Qin and the Rise of Han: Emperor of the Qin dynasty, Qin Shi Huang, would die from mysterious circumstances. No one is quite sure, but there is a belief that he ingested a mercury pill that he thought would make him immortal. With his death and China, while unified, not completely integrated, the following Emperor Qin Er Shi, his son, has a huge difficulty trying to keep the empire together. Revolts break out and in 207 BCE, Qin Er Shi and his general Zhao Tao commit suicide. This leads to the break-up of China once again, a period called the Eighteen Kingdoms. One of the successor states, the Han dynasty, manages to be victorious at the end, capturing almost all of the Qin dynasty's former territory, some of it going to local culture groups. One state, Minyue, is vassalized by Han before the second imperial unification of China and remains as such. The areas formerly belonging to Gojoseon, the Gutao dynasty, manages to keep itself from being conquered until it itself was conquered by the Han dynasty. Au Lac also manages to benefit from the Eighteen Kingdoms period, taking some lands.
*Contact with Japan: Gojoseon establishes trade with Hiroshima. The Han dynasty invests in establishing contact with the Japanese nations and thus introduce the Chinese bronze coin as currency in every state in Japan barring Hana and Hakodate as they did not discover them.
*Red Sea War and Battle of Massawa: The fleet of Damot is almost completely decimated and after the death of the King of Damot, a small civil war breaks out between supporters of the two sons of the King, this ends up in the Red Sea War ending and Himyar recapturing the Dahlak Archipelago and Massawa and its surrounding areas. Damot ends up being divided in two between the two brothers. Damot Galbeed claims Massawa as its capital and thus invades the territory, starting another war in 202 BCE.
*Maya: A new Mayan state is formed from several local rulers, controlling northern Guatemala, Belize and most of the Yucatan peninsula.
*Gambia: They expand along the coast.
*Hakodate: While appreciating different things introduced by the Hanans into their culture, such as minor inventions or traditions that intrigue them, they object to the attempted spread of the Hanan culture to them across the strait. The Chief of Hakodate tells Hana this in a personalized letter.
*Java: Java peoples spread onto the Moluccas.
*Suwarnabhumi: Through trade with the Mauryan Empire, they modernize more and expand some.
*Solok: New Javan state on Sumatra.
*Toyai: A large migration occurs north, through Kamchatkan lands, taking a lot of it for themselves.
*Hana: Due to the rather unknown lands the Hanans go to land on, the voyage takes longer and the amount of soldiers being moved leads to slight problems with the army being supplied enough, but the voyage is successful. The Hanan revolt is easily crushed, with most of the peasants being killed in action. When the Hanans showed up to fight, a bloody battle ensued. By this time, the Toyai had reinforced themselves with around 200 more people, but the element of surprise on Hanas part lead to a large advantage for them, with the rushing attacks of the hordes becoming less and less useful. Eventually the horde fled after razing the colony by setting buildings and supplies on fire, with about 70 barbarians escaping the clutches of Hana, the others perishing. Peasants were saved, the enemy was defeated, but the settlement was destroyed to a point where rebuilding would take a lot of resources and time.
*Au Lac: Shortly after the conquering of new lands, a new dynasty, the Trieu dynasty, becomes the leading royal family of the kingdom.
*Kaga: Their exploration leads to them discovering Sado Island.

=== NPC Events: ===
* Second Syrian War and following: It ends with the collapse of the Seleucid military a few years after the entrance of Vordalkien into the war. Peace is brought, with a treaty signed in Ledra. Armenia, the Kassite Empire, Parthia, Ptolemaic Egypt and Vordalkien would all gain lands and an ensuing collapse of Seleucid control brought forth Aleppo as independent, and later a short civil war would lead to an independent Jewish state being established, Canaan, which becomes a tributary state of Ptolemaic Egypt. Parthia, with a will to expand west and grow even bigger, invades once more, putting extreme pressure on the falling Empire.
* Illyric War: The Roman legions destroy the Illyric armies, taking the entire nation. They also take lands in Iberia as well as north of Italy, through both conquest and assimilation.

Meanwhile, the Satavahana dynasty takes power and dominates the middle and south, taking over all of the Mauryan vassals. With Maurya taking in Seleucid refugees and the west having majorities of Greeks, an Indo-Greek Kingdom is formed there. A longer war prolonged in the Gujarat region, between different princes, until a unified state was finally formed, named Gujavata. Other lands are simply captured by the Parthians and Kassites.
* Han: They introduce the Chinese alphabet and writing system as well as the weighting system to Japan and also a history book about the history of China (beginning in 206 BCE when the new Emperor was crowned) is started on. They suffer from small revolts in the south, which aren't complete core areas. The revolting people claim themselves as part of the nearby Nam Viet (also called Nanyue), but Han refuses to accept this, leading to a short war between the Han dynasty and Nam Viet which ended because of the still weakened military of Han. A peace treaty was signed and Nam Viet gained the large city of Guangzhou. They capture lands close to Qinghai Lake as well. The Han Chinese invent paper.
* Nam Viet: With the new Trieu dynasty in ruling, Au Lac renames to Nam Viet. They engage in war with the Han dynasty which they win and they start to Vietnamesify what is today southern China. A lot of development goes into the newly captured city of Guangzhou, with there being plans to make it the new capital of the kingdom.

* Ptolemaic Egypt: They turn Cyipri into a tributary state and seek to annex it to get better control of the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
* Hana: The re-establishment of their colony is successful but the land remains in very bad condition but is slowly moving upwards. A few bad harvests have prolonged the stabilization but it is nothing to worry that much about.

* Roman Republic: Under Sextus Julius Caesar (not to be confused with the not yet born Julius Caesar, the dictator) they capture the important trade city of Massalia from a Gallic tribe.

Mado Chanyu starts an era of ransacking northern cities and villages in the Han dynasty, leading to small skirmishes. Emperor Jing of Han and Mado Chanyu come to a compromise that prevents hostility between the two states, ending the military battles, although many fear this peace won't last.
* Abenaki: New Native American culture.
* Swahili: Some tribes migrate further inland.

=== NPC Events: ===
* Third Punic War and Roman Conquests: The Third Punic War starts with the Arunsioi rebellion, but it only lasts only 3 years as the Romans quickly conquer Aruns. The Romans then go on to conquer almost all of Iberia, currently remaining in a war with Navarra and they make their way down the Dalmatian coast, conquering all of Greece and from there invading and destroying the Attalid dynasty, as well as starting wars with Sardis and Vordalkien, as they aim to capture the important city of Byzantium. Skirmishes with Gallic tribes occur, in which Massalia would be nearly taken but the Romans chasing Gauls out of the general Alpine region. An agreement was made, in which Rome would retain Massalia and some surrounding areas as well as their Alpine territory, but the Gauls would gain some of the land by Massalia and Rome would stop invading them.
* Xiongnu War: As many people, both Xiongnan and Chinese thought, the peace between their states was not to last as the Han dynasty wanted to continue expansion west as well as develop what is the start of the Silk Road, and the Xiongnu want to ransack the cities of the Han dynasty for their riches. While more of a series of skirmishes and military campaigns rather than one cohesive war, both sides take land, with the Xiongnu taking Chinese Korea and ransacking Gojoseon villages and even sacking Wanggeom-seong itself, destabilizing the kingdom.
* Seleucid-Parthian War: The war comes to an end as the Seleucid Empire falls apart into the Seleucid Kingdom, barely holding itself together. Parthia during the war snags territory from Armenia and conquers Gerrha as well, cementing themselves as the new Persian Empire.
* The Rise of Aksum: A people south of the Damot states, they form the state of Aksum and invade both, doing surprisingly well, although Damot Bari holds off better due to being more stabilized than their western neighbor, unable to recover from the wars against the Yemeni kingdoms.
* Aleppo: They invade Armenia to take advantage of their weakness and to expand east to avoid Roman influence or invasion.
* Gojoseon: Gojoseon initially refuses the offer from Hana, seeing them as not worthy of the "rich, superior Korean culture", however after the sackings of their cities they agree, having to rely more on foreign exports, even if they cross a dangerous, cold sea.
* Jylland: Chieftain of a Danish tribe on the island of Langeland pledges allegiance to the King of Jylland, absorbing Langeland into Jylland.
* South Slavs: They are ousted by a large Latin-Germanic migration which leads to most of them dying or moving into North Slavic territory.
* Alai: A large amount of tribes migrate into Southeast Asia.
* Tolonra: Some territory from Scythians and Khergits are taken by them.
* Mayans: They move up north.
* Kassite-Parthian War: Parthia invades to take eastern lands, they take Kandahar rather easily but like what has happened many times before, end up in a bloody and destructive battle in Bactria, being stopped there for now.
* Sumatran War: The start of a long war begins as the conflict between Banyuasin, Selatan and Bangkat blows up into warfare. Ogankilit joins in as an ally of Banyuasin. This conflict has lit a fuse on Sumatra, that is going to get shorter and shorter.
* Abenaki: Settlers arrive and settle on Anticosti Island.
* Muscat-Oman: They conquer Arabat and come into conflict with Parthia over the Muscat-Omani territory in Persia. The Parthians are threatening war, but the Sultan Amu Farajj-al Tulin thinks it is a bluff tactic, considering the Kassite-Parthian War.
* Kaga: A few tribes accept being annexed.
* Brunei: Brunei expands eastwards to take advantage of the resources on Borneo.
* Marájo: A very loose confederation of Amazonic tribes is formed just by the delta next to the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

* Yamato and Kii: They start some expansion.
* North Slavs: Being a precursor culture to the actual Slavs, arriving around 800 AD, they change a lot and this, along with the destruction of the South Slavic culture, leads to them developing into the Varsa.
* Song Vhi: They develop into the Mon culture.
* Satavahana: Being a fully fledged Hinduist nation, they find the ancient religions of Ymiri and previous cultures disgusting and thus burn many books (including non-religious ones) made by Ymirians or other former Indian cultures/states, destroying many aspects of those cultures.

=== Turn LX: 125 BCE - 100 BCE ===
=== NPC Events: ===
* Roman Republic: Navarra is conquered and expansions continue, mostly in North Africa. The war with Sardis is assisted in by Cyipri and together they defeat and divide Sardis between themselves, with Cyipri gaining the important Anatolian city of Tarsos. The conflict with Vordalkien becomes a stalemate however and leads to the Romans' enemies to surrender, the Romans would gain lands, but Byzantium stayed within Vordalkish hands and their kingdom would remain independent. Two future legendary figures in history, Gnaeus Pompey Magnus and Gaius Julius Caesar, are born in 106 BCE and 100 BCE respectively.
* The Collapse of Gojoseon: The constant strain put on the long-living kingdom eventually leads to its ultimate collapse after the Han dynasty invades as a military tactic in their own war. This leads to the trade agreement between Gojoseon and Kaga being short-lived. The Han dynasty would grab the lands around Wanggeom-seong, crippling the new Korean kingdoms as their most important city becomes unavailable to them. The successor kingdoms include Yilou, Mahan, Jinhan, Ye, Okjeo, Buyeo and Goguryeo.
* Xiongnu-Han War: Military campaigns continue between the two. With Han invading the Liaodong peninsula after annexing Minyue, to counter Xiongnu tactics and them pushing forwards in the west puts them at the top, however, Beiking remains occupied and Fenghao is dangerously close to being invaded. Between major military campaigns, the Han manage to conquer most of Nam Viet, with the rest being settled by Khmer and Mon tribes.
* Parthian Conquests: Their invasion of the Kassite Empire starts going swimmingly once the drooling and destructive battle of Bactra ends with their victory. Migrating Uighurs and raiding Khergits complicate the situations for the Kassites. Meanwhile they also declare war on Muscat-Oman, taking their Persian territory in a matter of months, but failing to capture Khasad. The Omanis are forced to give in to Parthian demands on the Persian territory, which takes a toll on their importance in the spice trade.
* Silk Road: Developments and Han interests in trade with states and culture groups effectively establishes the Silk Road as official. While it has several routes, the main one goes from China, through Persia and to the Levant. An alternate route splits from the main route and moves through India and then into Persia due to the dangers of the war in Kassite regions and also due to the difficulty of navigating the mountainous terrain.
* Norse: Norse culture dominates Scandinavia as the Fjorda, Swedes, Geats and the Suomi present on the Åland islands all fall under their dominance, with the Norse people's influence reaching Denmark as well, looming over them.
* Ainu: The nearby tribes accept the slight expansion by Hana, but still withhold their effective toll system. Anyone exiting must pay them an amount of resources. A tribe takes the former colony of Gojoseon following the kingdom's collapse.
* East Africans: Swahili, an ancient word with unknown origin, becomes less used as a migration period leads to the development of a unified East African culture.
