03 Jul 10 UTC Autumn, 6: A Roman-Egyptian empire? This is one for the history books
10 Jul 10 UTC Great Citizens of the Mighty Roman and Egyptian Empires!
The great day of victory has come, the Sun God Ra has looked favourably upon us! The Cartheginian, Persian, and Greek armies all forced to their knees by the might of the Egyptian-Roman Empire, conquerers of the known world.

Only nine years ago, there were five: The weak, culpable nation of Carthage, the decieving yet once powerful Persian nation, the stronghold of ancient academics, the Greeks, the masterful warriors from Rome, and the great Pyramid builders of Egypt. Today, there are but two nations standing, triumphant in victory.

Carthage, pitiful and naive, believing in the Roman allegiance, pronounced a deft campaign into the rightful lands of the Egyptian Empire, only to be driven back home, met with the full might of the Roman Empire. There was no salvation to be had for Carthage, walled in on both sides, deceived by one, defeated by another. Carthage would live, for nine long years, in splendid isolation, in a deadlock with the Roman and Egyptian armies and fleets. But there was a ray of hope for the Cartheginians, in a fleet lost at sea, marauding from Roman city to city, pillaging, harassing the Roman rear.

For the Cartheginians, it was naiveity that led to their downfall. They were so close in the Autumn of 3AD to victory, so close to the path that led so far. Yet it was the Persians who anticipated their own downfall. Forming 'allegiances' with Greece and our mighty nation of Egypt, the Persians, untrustworthy, were nible and quick. Yet at the sign of Greek attack, suddenly pronounced an allegiance to the Egyptian Empire, but this was not to be had. For Persia would only return to continue its expansionist tendencies: Persia was to be conquered. And thus the Great War of the Year 4 AD erupted, Rome and Egypt fighting Carthage, the Greeks and Egyptians conquering Persia, and Rome, the cunning warriors of Rome, sneaking up behind Greece.

There was no mercy to be had, Great citizens of the Roman-Egyptian Empire, hear me now. Just as Persia had pushed into Sinai, the might of the Egyptian Empire expanded into Jerusalem and Tyre, what followed was the complete and utter destruction of the once so great Persian nation.

And so we came to our final gambit, between the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians. Why fight against Rome? Like the Cartheginians, the Greeks feeble in belief and desperate for a last gasp of breath sought the mighty Egyptian Empire to save them from the clasps of the advancing Roman hordes. Like the Persians, they believed in the 'alliance', and left their backs unguarded, welcoming the Egyptian Armies from the East.

We left no stone unturned, in the final war that was to end all wars. The fall of 6 AD marked the beginning of the end: Carthage could do no harm but squalor in its lonely isolation, Greece imploded by commanding its armies to hold Dacia, condemning the citizens of Miletus to Roman decree. No, there would be no salvation for the Greeks either. Their pitiful Greek Gods looked down upon them and saw nothing to save.

And here we are now, Egyptians and Romans alike, celebrating in victory, conquerers of the world, the greatest nations known to mankind. We possess the wealth of the Persians, the knowledge of the Greeks, and the once fearless warriors of Carthage. Rejoice, I entreat you. With that, I give the floor to my Roman counterpart, the Emperor Nicklala.
