Leonhartia (UWJA)

[Chptrk 86]

Hey all!! Sorry for no updates in awhile, I've had a pretty busy time lately. But I hopefully should be able to get back to work on Leonhartia soon. Replies are a little further down the page, but right now let's say happy birthday to a country that'll pop up in Leonhartia's future!
 

Happy Birthday America!

Replies,

Lacey14: Many thankies!!

astronelson: Huzzah! Skytouchers, I like the sound of those! But how to get water to the top? Maybe they could be built into the aqueducts?

Schulmanator: Glad you do! Put a lot of work into that one, guess it payed off!

Blue Lightning: Mr. Say things twice over here, I see. Meh, I'm not complaining. ZOMG Thankies!!

ecoba: Thankies!! It was really tough getting them all right-looking, I'll admit to some sloppyness on the mountains. But glad you like the concept, hope you stick around for it!

Benedict: Ooohh... Never thought to make an equivalent to Hadrian's Wall. That's a really good idea!! Thankies a ton for it!!

That idea is so brilliant I may have to invade your country, enslave your people, and claim I thought it up in the bath.

Welcome_back_to_Leonhartia!

Remember my tutorial city, Aelius? Well guess where we're going today?

Aelius has been growing rapidly lately and as it is not directly linked to Leonia, it is not living in its shadow of influence. Not being in the shadow of influence means that it can trade more freely in the empire, although it doesn't get protection from Leonia.

City officials are debating on whether or not to build a barracks in the town, or to connect via road to Leonia and give in to its influence. (Vote on it later)

A full few of Aelius.

Just a few shots from around the farms.

And a new shot of the town. The cows have been kicked out, but a new town senate building was put in its place.

The new port of Aelius.

And a settlement further up in the farmland.

Finally, the latest region view.

But wait!! What's that in the mountains to the South-East of Aelius?! It looks like an impact crater! But that wasn't there before! 

A few nights ago, a fiery object was seen falling from the sky. Afraid that the gods may have been angry with them for allowing these "Christians" to enter their towns, our Roman friends quickly did what they do best. When no other objects fell from the heavens, the people believed they had been spared.

Some men travelled out to examine the area of impact, perhaps looking for a sign from the gods. What they found was this.

I giant, flaming, smoking hole in the mountain. Someone thought he saw a strange looking object in the center of the crash site, but as he attempted to get a closer look, he was consumed by flames and killed. The rest of the party returned home to tell the sad tale.

---

Now, citizens of Aelius! It is time for a vote! What should be done in reference to the Leonia's influence idea (as stated above)?

I. Build a road between Aelius and Leonia and then ask for military protection, knowing of the possible high-costs.

II. Build our own town barracks for defense, with the possibility of causing fear in Leonia of attack followed by Aelius being attacked by Leonia.

III. Another option you feel like submiting. (The Aelius politicians aren't the brightest.)

IV. I just wanted to put IV options. Looks cooler this way, no?

Insquequo tunc tempore!

ComputerGuy890100: Someone should stop by more often then, huh?  I'll grab a link to the aquaducts as soon as I can. You can thank Astro for getting the link before I did.

astronelson: Just try to invade! Your barbarians will meet a similar fate to the ones already discussed!

Oh dear... well, I hope they have the capabilities to fend off any barbarian invaders. Wait, they're Romans. Of course they do.

Option III. Here's my plan:

The next time the Doctor from Doctor Who visits, secretly enter his TARDIS. Then go to 18th Century England, learn steam technology, then go back to Aelius. Alternately, kidnap Leonardo da Vinci, who, being Italian, is pretty much Roman already. Build the things he designs. The further forward in time you go, the less likely you would be able to replicate the technology they have. Steam's pretty much the furthest forward you can do at this point. Repeat this kind of thing until you have suffient technological advancement to do whatever you want. If you want, get steam technology and see how you develop from there. That might be more interesting. Also, keep an eye on those Christians. They're small right now, but I think they might have some potential... might not want to persecute them too much, they might bear a lingering resentment and bad-mouth you to the rest of the world if they ever get any power.

Or II, because you're both Roman towns and would never attack each other. Either one.

Hmm, maybe one of these days I might do a mini mega reply. Hah, fat chance.

Anyhoo, I see you captured that pic after what, 700 tries? I like the new town center but.... but... THE COWS!!!!!! At least relocate them!

Hope to see more soon!

Welcome_back_to_Leonhartia!

Once again, the votes are in, and it was decided to build a new barracks for Aelius. The silly politicians realized that the barracks would allow Leonia to not have to worry about defending its neighbor, and they felt foolish about thinking Leonia would attack them. They then preceded to call in master builders from Leonia to help with the designing of the new barracks. After a few monthes of construction, Aelius ended up with this.

During construction, troops from Leonia were brought in for security reasons, and upon the completion of the barracks, those troops began to instruct the new recruits.

A full view of the new developments.

But this new barracks in Aelius pales in comparison to what was constructed back in Leonia a year ago. Welcome to the barracks (or maybe fort would work better) of Leonia.

The old plans where kept, of course, but the planners realized they could use the sea to their advantage and created a moat as well.

The entrance way.

The center compound, home of the generals.

There were also some other changes in Leonia, such as the new stone streets.

And the new park area. A man by the name of Streetio Lampiero designed many of the pillars used throughout the park. A temple to Mars was built in the park in the hopes that he would help the new soldiers in battle.

Insquequo tunc tempore!

Larks2242: Egypt?! This is Rome! But thanks anyways.

Blue Lightning: Less work for me then. Eh, that pic took more like 900 tries. I know! The cows! They'll be back!! Oh, and option I didn't get picked, sorry. Maybe later though!

Chptrk: You'd better get better at repliing to those mega-replies.

ComputerGuy890100: Why thank you, Computerguy!!

ecoba: Congrats on being post number 100!!!  Thanks a ton, I'll do my best to keep you interested! The best part about this timeline is that I get to pick when every year changes, so I've got all the time in the world. Andau? Is that an older one? I 'm not sure I've heard of it.

Blue Lightning: ...Back to the cage with you.

Benedict: I can't take credit for the name, it was suggested by someone else. I think from the New CJ section, but I'm too lazy to go back and check.

Leech10: See mega-reply.

Chptrk: Hey! You did get better at it!!

Cage? What cage!!! I don't live in a cage!!

I really do like the park-temple area, it looks like a nice place to take a stroll and read your scroll. Oh, and Streetio Lampierio is a genius!

I've always wanted stone streets. the dirt ones ruined my sandals every timed it rained.

The two barracks/forts are looking really good, lots of open space for training too.

Overall, great update!

[Dumanios 35]

Hehe, Streetio Lampero...

[ecoba 28]

Andau is an MD by Kwakelaar at SC4D!

Ooh.. the new barracks on the island certainly is a nice feature ! Very pretty, if army barracks are allowed to be called that.

I like the changes made to Leonia, that park on the other side of the small amphitheatre (the one you gave a closer view on) is really nice ! Perhaps you could tell me where you got that temple (the blue rooved-one), I've been looking for it for a long time...

Welcome_back_to_Leonhartia!

Yea, I was expecting to just pop in with a little, "I'm still alive" post, then I remembered mega-replies. 

Nothing really big today, just some random shots of Leonhartia's development.

To ease any worries, the cows have never left Leonia.

A little wood cutting business has started to pick up on the road between Leonia and Jesilina.

It may be worth noting two more things, first off, on a little piece of land across the river, there has sprung up another little villlage. The people there seem to be fishermen and their families, but would still be called barbarians if our Romans had met them. Fortunatly for the fishermen, they have not.

The village leader's hut gets a special decoration made of stone.

And so you know where these new places are, the blue circle contains the logging huts, the red is the fishing village.

Secondly, it's about time the current date becomes known. This update and the previous one took place in May of 110 AD.

Insquequo tunc tempore!
