The Eternal war must have caused a lot of casualties, I propose setting up a program of sorts that promotes having kids and encourages the people to produce more crops and other sorts of food to support the families and their newborn kids across the empire.
Essentially it should boost the population to gain what we lost during the war, and hopefully increasing it even more than that.

Also check on the neighbouring tribes to see what they have been up to after those 1000 years, maybe we could test out our newly reformed armies on them if we feel we need their land to settle our growing population.

Lastly start building monuments in the biggest cities to respect the fallen during the Eternal War, in our capital there should be the biggest monument of them all showcasing the mighty Sarigal the Conquerer uniting the various kingdoms into the empire once again.
This would temporary boost demand for metals which in turn should temporary increase the production of metals.

>>250134
Extend to the east. Sarigal will do as his name bids, and he will conquer.

>>250144
Actually our population is higher than ever before, we're suffering from over population, right now the Empire boasts over 30 million people.
We can hardly sustain our population, the Eternal war has kept population growth in check.

>>250151
time to spread our population across the lands we have, encourage people to follow the crafts their parents did with craftsman guilds, people without a craft shall choose to try becoming scholars, police/soldiers or learn a craft

>>250155
Shouldn't we promote people to become farmers and such instead? We can barely sustain our populayion as it right now so we might as well try to increase our overall food production across the empire.

>>250151
Ah oke, is there any chance you could show a (rough estimate) population density map of the empire?

New city by the Lake north of Zega
called Salt Lake city

>>250160
i think farming counts as a craft, it's not only tilling fields but also lots of forestry, gardening, building, animal raising and some amounts of primitive minor mechanics (repairing carts and field tools, later on in industrial times also tractors)

We're not called the Conqueror for nothing. With military at our forte and overpopulation an issue, I think its time we painted the map our colour. Its time we really secured the East Coast.

Aggressively colonise the Snake and Colorado Rivers. Where the 2 river meets we build a great city dedicated to our conquest and glory. It can also serve as the forefront of any further expansion East. I suggest we call it Sarigasolis.
We use Beja as a base for colonising the Baja, having access to a port in the gulf would be quite advantageous. Hows our navy doing btw.

We should also reinstate a super authoritative centralised state with clear lines of succession. Whoever the fuk we want as successor should be successor.

Either our Empire has a solid foundation of infrastructure, agriculture and bureaucracy. We should just spend the rest of our time conquering everything.

>>250169
Ah oke, that makes sense then.

>>250172
Thank you, it's nice to see that the south is far more populated than the north. :)

>>250182
It shouldn't surprise you then that Sarigals Kingdom was Xenos, with little population and lots of competition, he devised new tactics and introduced new armors and weapons.

>>250185
Well I hadn't really thought about that but it makes sense for him to have come up with such reforms and stuff in such a situation, it really makes him worthy of the title the conquerer.

>>250198
Next update will be a very tiny Timeskip of 20 years.

Then I will show you guys Sarigals troops with which he conquered the entire Empire in less than 4 years.

guys could we come to a conclusion please?

>>250254
>>250178
let's do this, with some >>250155

>>250254
Yeah, backing >>250262 as well.

>>250178
I also think this sounds nice.

Knowing that some areas are too densely populated to make for good living conditions, Sarigal decides to do what he does best - conquering.

He expands the Empire eastward into the steppes with the help of his reformed Army.

He establishes new cities in these wastelands and makes the desert habitable.
He moves countless people from west to east to accommodate for the lack of workers in the new provinces.

His undertaking is difficult and costly, and after almost 20 years, he finished them.

The Empire is now even greater, and while overpopulation is still an issue, we can at least sustain our population now.

However, our neighbors - the Aztecs - have gotten visitors from the end of the world.

A group of warriors who called themselves the Conquistadores , have brought destruction and death to this world.
At their hands millions of people died.
With just a couple hundred soldiers, they took down the entire Aztec Empire and subjugated all other Barbarians in the Area.

Sarigal can feel the threat coming from these foreign conquerors.
We don't know what kind of hell they came from, but the Sarsalmat is determined to take them down.

A scout made contact with them and tried communicating, though communications largely failed, he gathered enough information to discern who or what they are.

Apparently they came far far from the east, in a land they call Hispania.
Ancient chronicles about the Roman Empire mention this place, as a province of Rome.

All this time we thought Rome had persisted to this day, but the arrival of these Spaniards has shown us otherwise.

Sarigal takes the opportunity to instill a new goal into the minds of his people.
A goal that - if achieved - surpasses anything anyone has ever done.

We build harbors and start producing ships again, in an attempt to improve our ancient Tamtubaltu designs to make them high-sea sailing capable.
Countless men are drafted into the Imperial army.

Sarigal has ordered the greatest conquest in Human history.
Our armies conquer the Baja peninsula and spread across the Steppes in the east.

Our holy Sarsalmat wants us to conquer everything that lies to the east, until we reach the Ocean , from which we will then invade Europe and reclaim Kianur.

He calls this holiest of all wars - the Manifest Destiny - our holy struggle to reignite the flame of Kianur, for our God Emperor guides us

PARASU SARILU! (literally : God Emperor decides so - our version of Deus Vult)

Our holy Warriors bear the greatest armor and strongest weapons our Empire has to offer.
No arrow can pierce them
No sword can cut them

The Ahutahazu will prevail.

What shall we do?

Oh yeah btw , Ahutahazu is what our crusaders ar e called

>>250330
Trace lines along each river, tell the stories of the oncoming Spaniards to the locals, warn them of the death the Spaniards shall bring. Build forts on the rivers, and sweep ever east. As soon as we find the sea, build harbours, build all the ships we can.

>>250366
supportin

>>250330
A couple hundred soldiers?
Let's try to expell them from these lands while we still can, we don't want them to settle here and get comfortable with the terrain and such.
I propose sending armies to the Spaniards ten times their size to show them we are serious.
We will also offer our support to help the tribes fend of these Spaniards, either they willingly join our empire and they will be protected by us, or we will conquer them by force to strengthen our empire.

Parasu Sarilu!

>>250366
ok but , be aware, we are now like Europe, meaning that our mere presence will cause the natives to go extinct, much like it does with the Spaniards.

>>250330
Ah shit also forget to mention that it was a nice drawing of the armour.

>>250372
those cities really do breed some nasty diseases don't they.

>>250366
>>250370
I support both of these. Also take the land the Spanish took from the Aztecs.

>>250372
Since we have thw same issue as Europe, wouldn't it be smart to trade with the Spanish? We're both really advanced compared to The natives. And is it possible we're immune to their disease?

>>250527
Also I'm not OP, I was OPing another thread.

>>250527
we are immune to most of their diseases and vice versa.

Though there's a big killer on each side the other has never heard of.
We've got Anthrax
they got Bubonic Plague.

>>250330
Holy shit how did you draw that?

damn nigga you take this seriously

>>250997
elaborate.
am I not supposed to take this work of art that is this quest seriously?

>>250911
AHAHAHAHAHA
sorry

OP lets just keep expanding east
Building forts at key points like rivers and Strategic hills and what not
Towns where the land is fertile and bountiful.
Then we build mega cities on the east coast.
They will be fortified heavily and contain massive docks and shipyards

>>250330
Our warriors look sick. Can we also get the updated map, our borders sound like they have expanded.

The Spaniards dun goofed, Manifest Destiny will consume them. Send scouts, diplomats and agents into the conquered Aztec lands informing the ruling class of our intentions in driving the Spaniards back into the sea. Promise them that we won't annex, just want to drive the invaders out and install client states in their place. Those who will join us will join us, those who do not, well we will know who to kill.

Also let everyone know everything North of the Rio Grande + everything from El Paso to Culiacan is ours. I really want the gulf of Californian.

Prepare all the supplies for the upcoming campaign, if we want to thoroughly wipe the Spaniards out we gotta purge all of Mexico. We need food, medical supplies, labourers, raw resources, etc for a campaign of at least 10 years.

Theres not a lot of Spaniards in Mexico, most of the army should just be native collaborators and auxiliary. When our forces march down, their job is to destroy the auxillary forces on the field and let our allies besiege and consolidate, then keep moving. Don't get bogged down in costly sieges.

We should also be extremely mindful of diseases, lots doctors and medical staff will be attached to our Holy Crusader.

We should also somehow infect the enemy forces with Anthrax. Perhaps get a bunch of people who have anthrax, disguise them as merchants, send them to places where we know there are Spaniards (from our scouts and diplomats) and have them give them infected 'tribute'. Kill them before they hit the field.

Also battle tactics, its going to be all about cavalry for us. Our range units will skirmish the enemy, melee units close support. The flanks will be won by our cav with close melee support. Then on the sound of a horn will wrap around the enemy in 1 crushing blow.

We are here to free the good Aztec people from the evil Spaniards, we're the good guys.

PARASU SARILU!

>>250536
With this info, begin diplomacy with them.Let's partition the 2 continents.

>>252550
First we have to wait for the Spaniards to fuck up the locals.
Immediately after crushing the Aztecs they are all allied to the Spaniards because Aztecs were all kinds of assholes.

>>250330
We should start expanding out in all directions before they have any chance to colonize too much.

We should also start colonizing along the northern pacific back towards our old lands.

At the same time we should establish diplomatic and trade relations with those spaniards. It would provide us relaticely up to date information about their activities.

Ok so guys, could you come to an agreement please?
And before you say "muh expansion" be more specific.
Right now we're marching for the east-coast in order to build shipyards so we can invade Europe.

>>254184
Well, I feel like most of us agree on immediately attacking the Spaniards and getting all locals tribes to either join us or be conquered by us.

So to be specific send our biggest army south to defeat the Spanish invaders and have scout armies send out in all directions from within our empire in search of tribes to inform them of the arrival of the Spanish arrival and offer them a deal, to either join us in the fight or be the next target of our armies.

Also if any of the locals die because of our diseases we could simply blame them for following the wrong religion which hopefully after most of them dying would have converted the survivors to our religon.

On our conquest east-ward, most barbarians we find are already dead, we don't know what caused it, but our Soldiers are convinced it was divine punishment for their heathenry.

This thought also makes it's way into the heads of the survivors, they are easily convinced to join our faith and surrender their lands to us, making conquest to the east significantly faster.

Meanwhile, an army of elite Ahutaharzu are dispatched to Aztekur to find these Spaniards and wipe them out.

10 thousand of our best troops march south, conquering whatever is in their way.
Here too, the few survivors are easily convinced into conversion, making the light of our Civilization shine bright in this time of darkness.

Cowardly as they are, they run away at the sight of our troops.

We drive them back all the way to a region south of Aztekur they call Panama.
They try to get to their ships, but we manage to catch at least half of these few conquistadores and one of their Ships.

Knowing that this is what they crossed the Ocean with, we take it back home to get our mathematicians to reverse-engineer it and make it even better.
On demand of Sarsalmat Sarigal, they are all constructed highly ornamental, while still retaining full functionality.
That makes them bigger and more expensive than they should have been, but the mere sight of them will strike fear into the hearts of our foes.

Almost all of the known New-world is now under our control and soon we will conquer the old-world as well.

Parasu Sarilu!

Time to make our preparations lads.
I know the post was short, but bear with me, tomorrow you'll get a fuckton of text to make up for today.

>>254964
I propose we fortify the coastlines of where they previously landed, set up defenses on land near those areas too, have troops stationed at every fortification near the coastline. If they ever dare to come back, they're gonna have a bad time.
We should also invest in developing naval traps, devices which could trap enemy boats when they try to land troops on our land or when they try to flee cowardly like they did before. We either have to develop special boats ourselves which would be immune to being detected by these traps or we would simply need to remember where we laid these traps and avoid them with our ships.

With these new lands under our control and our religion spreading we should send priests and build churces(or what our equivelants were) where aid is needed, the sick shall be treated in our churces by our priests. We shall send our best medical experts to these churces aswell for those who are still sick but have converted, these doctors will hopefully cure the plague these Spaniards have brought to us.
If there ever manages to be a plague doctor that finds a cure, then he will be rewarded with immense wealth, a blessing from god delivered by our priests, and his name will live throughout history.

We should promote immigration from our densest cities to these new lands to replace those who have fallen ill, we once again mean no harm to them and now that they are part of our empire we can help them rebuild and let their cities prosper. And promote immigration vice versa for the native populations to our cities, this is basically ethnic cleansing in disguise. Hopefully this will prevent furture revolts of populations which feel distant from our way of life since we will have replaced their population with ours and we will have assimilated the remaining natives.

We should also really get to work on these boats, I don't know how many boats we have on the west side which we might need on the east side but perhaps we could create a canal to allow sea travel between the east and western part of the empire. Our forefathers have created a canal before at our original capital so surely we can follow in the steps of them and create an even better one on this new continent, this will most likely take a very long time and take a lot of manpower.
Because of this new prison sentences should be introduced, for those who have repeatedly broken the law or have comitted a severe crime, they shall be send to the digging sites of the canal and work there for atleast 10 years till they can be reconsidered to be send back into society.

Lastly if catching some of these conquistadores means we have them hostage and we haven't executed them (yet) we should try getting some information out of them. While communication will be very hard because of the language barrier we should be able to give them some paper and let them draw their maps on it.

>>254977
Can't wait, this is gonna be fun.

Parasu Sarilu!

>>255383
supportan

>>255383
Pry the secret of gunpowder out of the prisoners!
And don't hurry too much with the conquest of the Old World. Send an expedition first, establish diplomatical contacts and play Europeans against each other.

Even if we only want to retake our ancestral lands, allies and a foothold in Europe will do us much good. Massed naval invasions are freaking hard.

After reaching the Ocean to the east, our countless settlers set up camp across the coast, building heavily fortifies harbor cities.

They hoist the flag of our glorious Empire atop their fortifications.
The Sarsalmat himself designed it, for our people to feel a new kind of union under these colors.

The White is the Sun as it reflects on polished steel, watching as the Gold of Sarilu's light shines upon us , as we spill the Red Blood of our people across the Blue Sea and the Heavens , as our holy Emperor Sarilu commands us.

The mere sight of these colors fills the hearts of every imperial citizen with pride and makes them feel the love of Sarilu for Mankind.

Because of this, even now as hundreds of thousands of people back home in the west are dying of an unknown disease brought upon us by the Spaniards , none of our people are discouraged. They are confident that we will win this war, not only for the sake of the Empire, but all Mankind.

After all, Sarilu himself has tasked us with uniting all of Mankind in his name, and slay the barbarians who turned away from the light of Civilization.

Back at home though, there are more things happening than this unknown disease plaguing our people, it turns out the Ship we reverse engineered, still harbored Spaniards.

We tried our best to interrogate them, but only after we sacrificed what we perceived to be their leader, to our one true God, they were willing to speak.

Though we hardly understood them, they revealed to us interested secrets of Siege and told us of mysterious tubes that make sounds of thunder and can kill a man from a distance, much like a bow and arrow.

We use this knowledge of these siege machines to further improve upon our ships.
Though that makes them even larger and we have to cut back on the ornamental features intended by our glorious Sarsalmat Sarigal the Conqueror.

As a result of this disease, people have begun spreading out across the newly acquired territories in the Empire, hoping to reduce the risk of infection by simply leaving.

This idea, however stupid and futile it may seem, has bore fruits and the number of infections have gone back.
It also seems the number of infected dying from this disease have also gone back.

The preparations are now entering their 8th year, and while this plague has taken quite the toll on our population, it has also gotten rid of our overpopulation problem.
Now food is abundant for everyone again, and the economy is stable enough to support our war efforts.

The entire Empire pours their blood , sweat and tears into these preparations.
Hundreds of thousands volunteer to join the invasion.
We build tens of thousands of ships to accommodate for these numbers.
We let the Empire's mines and treasury bleed dry for our holy war.

Every invasion ship is an ornate work of art.
They're huge and have 2 gigantic sails
The larger sail bears our Imperial Flag on it.
The smaller sail bears our coat of arms on it.
At the front of each ship is a figure, either the head of a Persiur (a mythical giant-vulture with horns that spits Fire, named after and representing the persians), a Bison or a Human.
Each ship has a carry capacity of up to 150 people, including supplies for a trip of 8 months.
Every ship is unique in it's own right however, as each has carvings all over it.
On the sides of every ship, artists have spent weeks and months on carving a mythical story of our people into the wood, and painting it over with the colors of our people , our God and the Sun.
Many artists chose to carve some interpretation of the Ascension myth of Sarilu into the wood, usually in three scenes.
The first Scene shows Sarilu, fighting the Persiur.
The second Scene shows Sarilu being set ablaze by the Persiur.
The third and final Scene shows Sarilu slaying the Persiur.

Near the head of every Ship there is also a small Siege engine installed , the Spaniards called it a Trebuchet.
Every Ship is given 40 balls made of stone and drenched in oil, to be lit on fire so they can set anything ablaze that they touch upon impact.

(Rough illustration of Ships, drawn in MS Paint, not showing the siege engines)

Now, as we set sail toward the Rising Sun, almost 1 million warriors have gathered on more than 70 thousand ships.

This is the largest army in all of history.
Never, not even in the days of Karna, has Mankind ever sent this many people into war.

Some ships were already sent 1 year ahead of the fleet, in order to establish diplomatic ties with some of the eastern barbarians, and spreading word of their impending doom.

Meanwhile in the old world

The Europeans are reacting very skeptical to the whole doomsday threat made by our trailblazers though the Spaniards in particular are taking this threat very seriously.
Due to their failure in discovering Hindustan by sailing west, Europeans don't quite take Spain seriously anymore.
Their stories of demonic Knights speaking in tongues, has turned them into the laughing stock of Europe.

However, the Spaniards are not the only ones taking this threat seriously.
After our Trailblazers have converted a small Maganian (African) tribe to our Faith, the nearby Kingdom of Mali has taken notice of them and their message of impending doom.

They invite the leader of the mission into their palace, and they were shocked beyond comprehension when they saw the Symbols he carried.

A White sun, the sign of Shaytan, as told in the Quran.
Only one people ever bore it, the Medians, the servants of the Devil, who with all their might tried to kill Muhammad (praise be unto him), but in the end failed, thanks to Allah's divine intervention.

The First Caliphate has gotten rid of the Medians and their pagan gods centuries ago, but here this foreigner with devilishly red skin stands before him, bearing the White Sun on his chest.

The message spreads from Mali like a wildfire across the entire Muslim world "The Devil has Come"

Though the average Muslim is quite scared, and calling for a Jihad to save them from the armies of Shaytan, most Sultans are much busier fighting among each other and occasionally the Christian Europeans.
Though the few who care, try and muster as many forces as possible against the Devil.

After 3 long months of Sailing, our armies have finally arrived.

We set up base in this small Maganian tribal Kingdom, and immediately claim it for the Empire.

From here, Sarigal can command all our troops, and send them across them across Europe.

The World will tremble in fear, at the sight of our Forces.

480 thousand Ahutaharzus, carrying a foreign disease no one in this world has ever heard of.
Our people have grown immune to it, but no one else has.
Only Sarilu knows what will happen when we sweep across the old world.

we make our final preparations and set up harbors for potential reinforcements and supplies to arrive, should we ever request them.

our Sarsalmat Sarigal holds a final speech before we march.

It is a touching story, man of our men cry tears of joy and relief, knowing that even though we're not quite there yet, we are finally home.
After centuries of unintended exile, we have come back to reclaim what was lost with the fall of the old Empire.

As we march, one final battle cry roars from the throats of our soldiers, before the fight.

Parasu Sarilu!

Where will we strike first?

>Mali (easy - it's right next to us - trailblazers have little terrain knowledge though)

>Almohad (hard - must avoid Mali and go through Mauretanian desert or Sahara desert - trailblazers have gotten their hands on some local terrain maps)

>Abyssinia (very hard - must go through completely uncharted african jungle - we have a buttload of ancient maps of it - it's Ethiopia aka Punt)

>>257738
>Mali
we will attack like a glorious golden swarm of locusts

Little side note here.

Ahutaharzu refers only to the Heavy knight-like infantry you've seen in the previous update.

The other 520 thousand men are spearmen without any armor, only our yellow uniforms.

>>257738
>Mali
If we can make our way to the middle east without crossing into mainland Europe, we don't have to fight Europe without our homeland back. Travel through Mali towards Annunakiminem. Tell the locals we don't intend to destroy them, or even to conquer them. Mali can survive, but if we don't need to divert ourselves to do it, subjugate them and use them as a food supply on our way to Annunakiminem.

>>257808
Well we can tell them whatever we want, we're the Antagonists of Judaism and Islam.
They're not going to believe anything we tell them, since to them we are the devil.

>>257821
Hey, may as well try, it'll be nice later when things calm down. Perhaps any local pagans may be of use.

Well lads, I'm going to bed, tomorrow I'll start a new thread again.

and I need about tree fiddy
no wait scratch that, I meant decision, I need your guys' decision on where we'll hit first.

>>258119
Mali. I heard there's a lot of gold there. It would be very useful in diplomatic matters.
We also should invite any inventors and scholars willing to advance our technological level.

>>258119
Hit Ethiopia until it stays down.

>>257821
Fuck the Muslims then, any non-hostile Christians can live though.

>>257738

Take any historical text we can.
