After Mertucia formed, Yandavara's govenor grew paranoid. He desperately cut taxes and opened new city land to get people to come and stay in the city. This worked and by 1480 The city looked like this: The govenor felt like the city needed more guards to keep the people safe from attacks. He built up another barracks. These Barracks were highly funded and produced many great military generals in the years to come. These are the barracks. The next decade brought great expansion as the city's population...

Yandavara

By Skirmisher24,

Because the Region Haludua is still under construction, we will dive headfirst into the stroy of the first city ever founded on Haludua: Yandavara. Yandavara started out as a small city grown on an economy based on Agriculture. When they built the docks, it allowed them to open trade to their city. But very few nations have anything to trade with them making their economy weak. But this small city has enough room to grow. Let's look at the city at this point: Here is Yandavara. Red isn't it? Now you can...

Now resuming to the story... The story left off at the Blockade. Near the end of the second week of the Blockade, The troops were ordered to attack. They prepared to set foot on Yandavaran soil for the first time in twenty years. They expected it to be something different than to destroy the city. The first thing they did was burn down the docks. This would attract the attention of the army. The army general from the barracks noticed the flames and ordered the Yandavaran army to investigate. Here is what...

This is just a little guide I set up for to understand more about Haludua. Reader's Guide Part 2: A Guide to the Region As it is well known, this city journal is located on an island chain south of Venice in the Mediterranean Sea. Many people fled from both Tuscany and Vencie to Haludua. Now just what does the region look like? This is why I created the guide. Here is the region at exactly the point of where we left off at. Now there is currently two republics in this region: The Island Republic of Haludua...

(This is a guide created by me to inform you on how this region developed, where this region developed, why this region developed, and anythng in between like political and wars) Brief Overview of the beginning: The story starts off right before a major expansion of the city of Yandavara. The year that the city was founded is estimated to be around 1350 to 1360. The first settlers probably arrived in the 1330's. It started off as a small village. But the founders must have left notes or journals of where...

After Yandavara declared Mertucia part of the Haludua Republic, Mertucia declared war. They refused to be ruled by a govenor from a city they had previously fled from. They had previously been building up their military to protect them and to escort settlers to other islands to create cities that will be part of their republic. They had plenty of wood to build their ships. They had to set their ships up to transport soldiers to Yandavara. Mertucia was suprisingly able to support their vast troops. Mainly...

Mertucia

By Skirmisher24,

Near the start of the 1480's, Several Citizens from Yandavara packed up everything and moved south. They settled on a hilly Island and named it Mertucia. They built a small city and several hamlets surrounding the city. Here is a picture of Mertucia: The only landmark in Mertucia is the Villa Mertucia. It was created in honor of the Mertucia Ravenna. It is the home of the govenor of Mertucia, Govenor Dante Rodrigo who is the present Govenor at this time (he is half spanish.) The mines opened up when the...

Haludua 1530-1540: The Mertucia-Venetian War The last 2 decades were very important for the Haluduan people. Instead of telling you what happened from 1510-1530, I trust that you have already read those parts. Now we are going into what happened after those two decades. As I left off, Rome had been sacked, and the two nations were panicking. They quickly built up their armies attracting the attention of one very powerful Republic, The most Serene Republic of Venice. MSRV immediately sent...

Sorry for taking so long for the latest update. Forgive me. Haludua 1510-1530: The years after the war were different on both sides. The first Mertucian victory had an effect over the Mertucian People. It made them more confident, safe, and arrogant. The first defeat on Yandavara had a blow on their citizens pride. They felt humiliated and furious over the fact that they were defeated by the same people they helped escape from Italy. A person that is somewhat important to the story said "It is...

(authors note- I know it has been almost a year since my last post, the reason being is that I haven't had the time to do so, and also, I haven't played simcity 4 that much either. Please forgive the excessively long delay and I hope to create more entries as my summer goes by.) The Kreigan War 1560-1570 In the years following the MSRV's takeover of Mertucia, there was civil unrest within the town of Kreigan Atoll. In fact, several citizens believed that if they could defeat the Yandavarans 60 years ago,...
