Far East Asia
Mercs: 10mc, 10mi, 10mw

THE MINOMOTO SHOGUNATE
Tenno Shilohata, Emperor of Jihpen
Minomoto no Gatahaku, Shogun
DIPLOMACY: none
The port of Sihong Tak in Taiwan was dismantled. A better, cleaner citadel-port was built by the Bashi Channel. A port fortress was also built in Hokkaido by the Peruse Strait. Its presence allowed trade to start with the Magadan colony. The little loan was paid off.

THE MAGADANNAM
Wulamak, Overlord of Hai Ochostk, Protector of the Iceman, Harvester of Cute, Furry Animals
DIPLOMACY: none
Lady Mahana sailed some folks to the Kuril Islands, a place where no one lived. Upon their cold rocks was built the city of Yeandu. Mahana returned home. The distance and the isolation finally got the Sakhalin folks to rebel. Yeandu soon followed suit, becoming a free port. Two more leaders were lost in the icy seas of the Aleutians.

THE TUNGUS KINGDOM OF PO-HAI
Mau Sing, King of Parhae
DIPLOMACY: Shangtu(f), Jehol(c)
Yu did well to get the Shangtu Duke to give all his assets to the Po Hai crown. In Jehol, he was embarrassed when the forest tribesmen accused Yu of trying to steal a berry tree. The diplomacy talks there got rough, indeed. Suifenhe has become cultivated.

THE HOU LIANG ZHONGDI
Lei Qui, Bing Di, Emperor of the Middle Kingdom
DIPLOMACY: none
Bing Di's day was made when 135,000 Tang soldiers entered Honan. The Liang's home defenses weren't as mighty: only 35,000 cavalry and 25,500 infantry. Bing Di lost the battle and withdrew to Kaifeng. The Tang army didn't make any other moves though, but made themselves as unpleasant as an army can be. Another Tang force of 65,000 occupied Tangchou while at the same time 340,500 Xi Xia horsemen crossed the Yellow River from Chilhi to raid Shangtung and sack Qingdao. From 1061-1063, the Xi Xia had their way in every coastal region of the Hou Liang. Tsainan, Kiangsu, Anhui, Liangche and Chekiang were raided. Singtai, Rugao, Guangli were sacked. The second Tang army passed through Honan and conquered Tsainan and Shangtung in their ruined state by the end of 1064. Finally the Tangut horde having bypassed (and left unmolested) Foi lands, raided Hwai and gutted Xiu Shui.
Lei Qui remained in a state of shock inside Kaifeng (while his fax machine continued to fail him). Amidst all the hubbub, Wuhan grew to 7 Gpv.

THE DA TANG EMPIRE
Fuang-Qu "Jong Zong", 29th Tang Ruler, Emperor of the Middle Kingdom
DIPLOMACY: no effect
Emperor Fuang-Qu and his brother Qi-Ging gathered up a force of 50,000 Pao-chi leopard cavalry, 50,000 sappers, 25,000 Fu-ping militiamen, 10,000 mercenaries. They marched on Liang for the Liang had secretly been making cheeseburgers. The battle in Honan was too one sided. All Liang defenders were abolished. There were 18,000 Tang casualties including Fuang-Qu (foot injury) and Qi-Ging (killed). All operations ceased but the fortress in Honan fell to a passive siege. Taocao's second army: 5000 engineers, 25,000 Wu-chi kung-fu knights, 35,000 militia swordsmen, got more things accomplished. Tangchou then Tsainan plus Shangtung were occupied. The fortresses in Tangchou and Tsainan were handily stormed. The Tang armies complained that the Xi Xia horde had more fun. Fuang-Qu's eldest son, Gawa, was murdered. A slice of 'monterey jack' was left by the pillow. Ningsia was allowed to degraded to non-paying tributary. Other prefectures were jealous and wanted not to pay taxes either.

THE SERENE PALACE OF THE GREATER WHEEL
Cho, Bodhisattva of Chan Mahayana
DIPLOMACY: none
The Buddha wanted to be more serene and stoic so he cut himself off from the violent world.

THE XI XIA HORDE (Cherkassy, Tavoc, Tangut, Jark,)
Jehum, Khagan of the Steppe Peoples
DIPLOMACY: none
The Xi Xia crossed the Tang frontier but left the screaming, panicked farmers alone (They should suffer for their fear). The great stampeding horde had made some arrangement with the Tang to loot and plunder the Liang. This mayhem they did well. Their take was almost as good if not better than the India adventure. By the end of 1065, all tribesmen and their six allies camped in Hwai getting free refills on their iced tea.

FOI GUO
Foi Biaxiu
DIPLOMACY: Kiangtung(nt), Lingnan(ea)
The Queen traveled to Chehsi but couldn't get any new concession from the autonomous prince. In 1064, a great big horde (many times larger than Foi's entire fighting force) passed through Kiangtung and Kiangsi. Only a new city, Die, kept Kiangtung from revolting outright. Kao was built for a newly hospitable Miao Ling.

THE KAMBUJADESA OF LOWAN
Jayavarman VI, Emperor of Khmer
DIPLOMACY: none
Jayavarman sent thousands of subjects to reclaim the fields of Angkor. The ten year project that was planned would restore Khemer to its previous intensive rice production level. A loan was negotiated to improve the irrigation in Surin. Neutral Kwa became cultivated (And it just sits there...).

THE COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE OF SRIVIJAYA
Sri Suryanarayana II, CEO of Srivijaya, Inc.
DIPLOMACY: none
Rauta was given the A-OK stick one more time. If he failed again, well, he might not survive the canning. This time Rauta would avoid a direct confrontation at the Cliffs of Doom. He landed down the coast in Okora with 17,500 infantry, 2500 cavalry, 5000 mercs on board 32 warships, 17 transports and 10 privateers. The Okorans were well led but their boomerang throwers were exposed. So Okora was pacified by the end of 1062. Having secured a beachhead, the Corporate Body marched to Yampi where 7500 boomerang defenders were entrenched. But the greater numbers blew the naked men away. Srivijayan guards occupied the homeland. A small treasure bag was found. Victory was sweet but Rauta died from koala fever.

LAND OF THE LONG WHITE CLOUD
Te Ramarama, "The Torch Fisher",Tuma Whakarae o Maori, Kaitiaki Rorea Aotearoa, Kawana o Aumoana Runga, Ariki Tamaroa Kei raro Taki o Autahi
DIPLOMACY: Te Awampu(t), Vanutu(n), Fiji(n), Tongo(hs)
The northern islands were hestitant to join a kingdom so far to the south. Te Awampu was treated well though. Well enough to begin tribute payment. There was bad blood in Tonga between Ramarama and the priestkings. Old Rutene explored the Australian passage once more and died upon his return to Waikato.

THE YAMPI BAND
Dowikoo
DIPLOMACY: none
Yikandee couldn't stop the Srivijyan conquest of Okora and finally lost Yampi itself. The chief ran to Mulga with his family. When Yikandee died in 1065, Dowikoo made Mulga his capital city. Kupang, Bali and Broome are all isolated.

DIPLOMACY: none
Akalsei retrieved his lost sunglasses and a garrison in Yunnan.

THE CHOLA MANDALAM
His Magnificence, Chola Rajadhira, Maharaja of Bharat
DIPLOMACY: none
The army pulled from the frontier. Looking at green dyed beards was too much for them. Kollam grew to 8 Gpv. Polonarva became 5 Gpv. Pepper prices dropped.

THE RAJPUT KINGDOM OF GWALIOR
Ranga Sujaimul, Rajput Raja
DIPLOMACY: none
There was some unrest in Kamarupa. Sujaimul guarded Vatsa.

THE HIDDEN KINGDOM OF PUNJAB (KASHMIR)
Jangikarna, Hidden King of Lahore
DIPLOMACY: none
Ramachandahni and his force of 26,000 spearmen marched to Sind and pushed the Qarmatian Muslims around a bit until they were pacified. The call for a military conversion to Hindu led to a second more serious rebellion which caused the effort to fail. Buyid observers reported that 11,500 Kashmiri bit the dust.
In 1064, 104,000 Blue nomads crashed through Yarkhand, raiding, and then entered Kashmir itself. Because Kukarsa and his 12,500 knights, 50,000 infantry, 5000 sappers and 10 field forts were present, the raid was aborted. The Kokohul, frustrated, attacked. The Kashmir home force couldn't handle the pressure; their troops were thrice decimated in the first clash. 31,500 men were left (The core of the Kashmiri force) to face 72,500 roaring hordesmen. The Kashmiri fought like wild animals but the Blue Horde was even nastier. In the end, the homeland was forfeit. Kukarsa and his family were slain as they tried to escape. The remainder: Chitor, Himachal, Jats, Jhelum, Multan, Pathan, Punjab, Sukkur, Somanatha, Sursuti and isolated Yarkhand rallied around Ramchandahni who founded a new dyansty at Lahore. Ramchandahni then died of old age and passed on the kingdom to his son, Jangikarna.
The oriental trade mission had already left Mansura and haded to Tanga-Pemba (along the East African coast). 25 Yemen ships blockaded Mansura until the summer of 1065.

THE BLUE HORDE: Kökohul
Jawziki
DIPLOMACY: none
The Kökohul headed to the Tarim Basin from where they conducted an attack against Kashmir. After raiding Yarkhand, they fought the Kashmir home force. It was a bloody battle and 60,000 from the initial force of 104,000 survived (The Tara tribe was wiped out). Having done that, Kashmir and Khiragu were colonized. In the following struggle, another 2000 men were pulled off their horses into their graves. Khiragu lost 1 Gpv. Kashmir itself is now mostly Asia-Pagan.

THE SAMANID EMIRAT OF BUKHARA
Ibrahim, Emir of Bukhara
DIPLOMACY: Khuttal(a)
Ahmad gathered an amazing force of 10,000 cavalry and 8000 infantry so they could take on the dreaded Uzbek. 7000 Uzbeki showed up and were plastered. Ahmad was too brave in the fray. He was shish-kebobed in the head by a flaming spear. He left no children. Ibrahim may be the last of the Samandis unless he could knock up a wife fast.
A fortress was built in Uzbek soon after its conquest. Shazam wasn't able to convince the hostile infidels of Pamir to become friendly to Muslims overnight (or even in five years).

ARRAN EMIRAT
Ab'ul Sharif
DIPLOMACY: none
Arran snuck around and cleaned some knives.

THE EMIRAT OF SAMOLAH
Jurji
DIPLOMACY: none
The Samoleh troops had their way against the Buyids. Jurji and 42,000 mounted warriors attacked Jibal, besieged Hamadan (losing 5000) and then colonized Jibal the region while leaving the city pacified. Jurji's force attacked (which must be done before looting) Luristan and- looted the region. After raiding Khuzestan, they entered Fars. The 36,000 men could not regional genocide the place unless the city of Shiraz was captured and Far was pacified. So the troops went back home. Kumis went cultivated in the meantime.

BUYID EMIRAT OF SHIRAZ
Beshir bin Sa'id al Buya
DIPLOMACY: not when they're being pacified
The Emir had not a good time. He and Badri went to Sind to see if there was still any love left there. There might have been some but not for the Kashmir invasion. Beshir found himself talking to himself (or to Badri, who was not a good listener). Theere was another invasion closer to home. The Samoleh attacked and colonized Jibal. They also plundered Luristan and Khuzestan. The rascals even entered Fars, but Achmed Bakilaid guarded Shiraz's 50 foot walls with 5000 siegemen and 7500 infantry. At least Jahrom was rebuilt to 1 Gpv. Chemical weapons might work wonders against the enemies of the Buyids.

THE ABBASID CALIPHAT (Dar al Islam)
Al Kawa'id, Kalifat Rasul Allah, Commander of the Faithful
DIPLOMACY: Kurdistan(t)
The Black Horde behaved (sort of) so the Caliph Mutawakkil took care of some things he had been putting off. The Kurds were dealt with in a firm fashion. These mountain tribes gave in to the bold threats and sent some tribute. Jabbar an Nazir took over the Kut as Amra garrison. Al Hahzad grew to 3 Gpv. Mutawakkil died in 1065 and gave Sayid it all in the will. Sayid became Al Kawa'id.

DIPLOMACY: none
Qarbu, his 91,000 cavalry plus 21,000 Ilhand rode across Arabia and thence into Petra where they were not opposed by Karimid troops. They could have been stopped the 1062 raid into Misr, but they didn't. In 1063, the Black Horde crossed the Nile. In the shadow of the Pyramids, fought 20,000 Khairid mameluke horsemen. The Khairids lost. Egypt was looted. Al Iksandr was sacked. The Black Horde raided Faiyum and Thebes and they took their loot into the Quada plains. The Khatun, Kasab, retired for her son did a great job commanding the horde.




THE KARIMID SULTANATE OF ALEPPO
Uthman ibn Sirdar, Sultan of Aleppo
DIPLOMACY: none
The young Karimid prince was too preoccupied with illness to respond to any horde raids. Misr didn't rebel though. Mohammad succumbed to his malady in 1065. His younger brother, Uthman was elevated. Paphlagonia threw off all vestiges of its Christian past.

THE ZAIDI EMIRAT of DANAKIL
Ar Rakdad, Guardian of the Mandab Straits
DIPLOMACY: Aksum(f), Madina(a)
Al A'ma took a fleet of 25 galleys to the Sind coast to support a Hindu invasion of fellow Shi'a Muslims. The action didn't make the blind admiral very popular at home. Ar Rakdad recalled him and the ships in time for the Love Lagoon Festival. The young Emir married into an Aksum family.

THE KHAIRID EMIRAT OF EGYPT
Ibn Mohammad Al Khair, Emir of Egypt
DIPLOMACY: no effect
Plans to expand Al Iksandr was dashed when some 112,000 horse-archers attacked Egypt and defeated the entire Khairid army. Al Iksandr was sacked. Egypt was looted. Faiyum and Thebes were raided. Ibn Mohammad escaped to Ad Diffah.

THE MAGYARORSZAGH KINGDOM OF HUNGARY
Gaspar III, King of Hungary
DIPLOMACY: Thuringia(t), Hostein(t, but it rebelled), Kingdom of Denmark(a), Swabia(fa)
Gaspar trusted his general Zapolya to lead the troops to Germany to fight the Aachen Pope's enemies. Some 48,000 knights rodes to Franconia and met the martial pontiff Purity II with his 10,000 ditchdiggers and 20,000 Papal guards. Purity gave the Magyars some chests of gold. In 1062, they attacked Thuringia and liberated the region. In the following years Saxony was pacified and Holstein's heathens were freed from bondage. The Pope didn't have time to deal with unbelievers. It was the heretics that head to be smote. Truan Hawkcall, Ian Fourrod and 47,000 infantry and 11,000 cavalry were caught napping. Purity spearheaded the attack crushing much of the Jyllig force. The Jylligs struck back taking out all the Papal guards and some of the pioneers. But the first round was a stalemate - except that Ian Fourrod defected to Purity's side. The next round went better, despite all the heavy casualties. Truan Hawkcall was captured. What was left of the Jyllig army was routed. After Alborg fell to a siege, Fourrod rounded up the Jyllig navy and set himself up as an allied king controlling Jutland and Zealand. Satisfied with this new arrangement, Zapolya and Purity II withdrew to Thuringia with 34,000 Maygar knights. All the Papal troops had been lost. Distance from Gaspar's final location, impelled the untruthful Holsteiners to revolt.

An agreement was made and so the matriarchy passed control of Lancaster and Northumbria to Wessex. Efforts to build an monastery in Wessex didn't succeed. Svealand would have had an abbey if the evil Purity II and his Hun pals didn't sack the monastery in Jutland. Highlands became cultivated, despite all those rocks.

DIPLOMACY: none
Purity II's plan was simple. If the schmatics continue to refuse to recant their foolishness, they will be destroyed. With the help of Magyars, he and his holy army crushed the Jylligs and took them out. As Pope Purity marched to Aachen thinking of ways to torture a confession from Truan Hawkcall, he got a heart attack. To honor Purity II and the success of his war against the Bheathaamrois and their followers, the new pastor called himself Purity III. The navy of 50 ships patrolled in the North Sea but came home for lack of anything useful to do.
