Day 3 –The Late Bronze Age                                                                     Back to Main Page

 

We started in Turn 10, right before the Acquisition of Civilization Advance Cards.

 

Turn 10 – David took over the ruling of Babylon for one session.

Minoa and the Celts developed Pottery, Rome and Iberia developed Cloth Making.

                Due to the Superstition from Day2 Assyria made one step back on the AST.

Turn 11 – Carthage tried again to build up a city in Libya, Minoa invaded the Egypt area.

                Battles were found between Rome and Iberia as well as between Hellas and Rome.

                Assyria was hit by an earthquake, reducing also the Babylonian city in Mesopotamia.

                Babylon was hit by tempest and famine. Carthage had a slave revolt. Hatti had one city

                lost by a city fire and Egypt lost a city by treachery to the Assyrians.

                The Minoans, Babylon and Carthage developed agriculture, the Celts took sculture, the Romans

                developed urbanism. The Egypts developed astro navigation and the Minoans developed masonry.

                The Celts were the first to follow the Minoans to the late bronze age.

Turn 12 – Some ongoing conflicts between Minoa and Egypt, Rome and Hellas, Rome and Iberia and Celts and Iberia.

                David as the new ruler of Babylon did not fulfill his specific rules from Henriette, the old sovereign, as he attacked

                Assyria.

                The Barbarians invaded the Celts area from the north, destroyed London and took over all of Britain.

                Rome was hit by a civil war, losing the complete Sicilian Island to Egypt. Carthage was hit by Superstition.

                Minoa developed Engineering, Assyria and Babylon developed Pottery. Hellas developed with Metalworking its first technology.

                The Hatti developed Written Record (focus on Craft) and the Iberians developed Mysticism.

                The Babylonians were the third civilization to advance to the late bronze age.

Turn 13 – The Minoans lost two cities due to tax revolts to Carthage. The battle between Rome and Iberia continued. Hellas ignored the

                Advancing Romans on its territory and attacked the Minoans. Some sources say, that Hellas was ill advised or even leaded by

                Carthage in doing so. The Minoans retreated from the Egypt area and stronger its forces in its main territory, tearing down also

                one of the two lost cities to Carthage. The Egypt tried to invade the Minoan areas in Phaestos and Cyprus, but did not succeed.
