I gotta be honest, guys.  I am actually finding updating and constantly following this game to be a tremendous consumption of time and attention.  Frankly, I am seriously considering either dropping the project altogether or passing it off to anyone who I

Author Topic: Nation Forge — Iron Desert [1863] — Beware the Ides of March  (Read 193121 times)

The Serisian Navy transports relief supplies marked for Sonodine to Arcon from Point Ardrov.

Avalonia invites locals in this area to join the Union following a steady stream of reports that they have been friendly and welcoming of Avalonian prospectors and settlers who migrated there during the period of Avalonian emigration, and of Avalonian scouting groups sent during the WDC-Conservatia-Romek War to give advance warning of any incoming armies.  Avalonia points out that this will allow the locals to continue their lives within the sphere of a nation that values individual freedom, rather than eventual inclusion into highly expansionist and autocratic nations to the South.

The raising of pigeons is noted to be a very popular pastime among Avalonians both in the Fatherland and abroad.

Avalonian textile manufacturing receives a boost from the invention of the sewing machine.  (I consider this to be a development worth mentioning; I've been asked to tone it down with the frequent tech updates, and have attempted to do so, not mentioning any for a while, this infrequency will continue.)

Fravath begins constructing a grand synagouge in Shaiphri with funding provided by (I hope) Kyrev.

That is going to be a waste of money. You literally formed your nation to make it under a Christian rule and now you are SUPPORTING the Jews, the ones that formally had your lands.

Construction on the expansion of Khulda and the new Synagogue continues.

i mean you just declared a city that was holy since antiquity not holy after losing a war

and then you declared a newly founded city holy

the lake jews still there probably would be like "wtf no"

i invoke mod power

The Grand Rabbi denounces Shaiphri as the Jewish holy city, and announces Khulda as the new Jewish holy city, building a great synagouge for all Jews across Atenisia.

Work to the development of Khulda, expanding and improving the city infrastructure and agriculture.

Due to the long tradition of Shaiphri being the holy city, the move is met with extreme skepticism and begins to cause a rift within the Milhamian Jewish sect. Those outside continue to recognize Shaphri as the holy city, due to separation from the Milhamian sect.

wtf you cant just tell your jews to go worship someplace else

Fravath denounces Milhamiah for trying to control the minds of the people. Fravath begins constructing a grand synagouge in Shaiphri with funding provided by (I hope) Kyrev.

It is noted that those practicing Judaism outside of Milhamiah (in Seris, for example) still recognize Shaiphiri as the holy city.



you can't really change a holy religious site's location, you know.

*muslims take jerusalem*

christians: not holy anymore, roma is the new holy city

muslims: k

and thus the crusades never happened

does not enforce a religion*

while the citizens are primarily christian, there is still about a fourth of the population that is jewish.

didnt the new romekate government enforce a new denomination of Norse?
Sonodites still believe in the old form of Norse, and religious institutions still practice the old rituals.

Sonodine still supports the new Romekate movement, it just can't contribute or anythin because of internal crises.

Begin repairing roads and clear debris in the Sonodine River.

If possible ask for aid from other empires. (Food, labor aid, etc)
The Serisian Navy transports relief supplies marked for Sonodine to Arcon from Point Ardrov.
Arcon receives the supplies at Oydvyn, and in both receiving the supplies and wishing to aid of its own volition, sends the combined relief upriver.  The supplies land in Sonodine City.

Also just looked up early steam locomotives.  I mean look at this li'l guy from 1829!

The locals agree to join in the Avalonian Union, so long as their culture isn't infringed upon.

The Romekati government endorses a Christian-Norse hybrid religion.




After hearing positive news from the Northwestern Zedrelands, Arcon sends more representatives with the aim of opening up the region to Arconian trade, offering superior agricultural goods, and offers to bring representatives on an all-expense-paid journey around Arcon, to see areas that have both recently been developed, and cities that have existed for centuries.

With the continued projects utilizing the many Sonodite refugees, the nation's economy in land acquired years earlier has boomed substantially.  A town in the south, once a small settlement, after taking in so many refugees has grown to be a large population center.  This city's name is Sounette.  The national rail is nearly 30% done in creating a line from Regnée to Sounette.

I'm still waiting for 1861....
Will the Iron Desert even be around in 29 days?

Is Sounette the Arconian corruption of the word Sonodine or something

Sonodine thanks for the aid and it is used to rebuild civillian homes and commercial buildings. The Constabulary is put on lower priority as the people. Cremation is used to dispose of bodies, as the desert sands move and change.

 Christian beliefs are not persecuted in Sonodine anymore. Continue projects to restore industrial capacity
encourage breeding, not too much though

Look for something that deals with compression detail or something.  Idk the actual term used on flagmaker, so if someone who uses it more frequently could correct me...

Sorry that the resource maps are taking so long.  I keep finding all kinds of crops that I thought were unimportant but actually are.
