Rise Of Empire Pc

[Stetson Saenz]

Whenhunting for another contemporaneous history, Polybius was the first choice that seemed to come up in my searches. Polybius was a Greek hostage of the Romans, of a peculiar sort with a seemingly wide amount of freedom during his captivity that allowed him access many high tiers of Roman society; he was an active in both Greek and Roman politics in some of the times he wrote of in his history.

Can any one be so indifferent or idle as not to care to know by what means, and under what kind of polity, almost the whole inhabited world was conquered and brought under the dominion of the single city of Rome , and that too within a period of not quite fifty-three years? Or who again can be so completely absorbed in other subjects of contemplation or study, as to think any of them superior in importance to the accurate understanding of an event for which the past affords no precedent. -Plb 1.1.

Polybius viewed history as an important education for statesmen, and saw history as valuable only insofar as it provided true stories of decision making that provides either positive or negative lessons to readers. He also thought it was critical that people who wrote history understood, by experience, the politics they would document:

The narrative history was all new ground for me, covering the three Punic wars (though, the Third Punic War was not covered with much depth). Honestly, I found that Polybius did a good job of achieving exactly his goal set at the introduction: Explaining how the Romans came to rule the known world in a very short period of time.

From natural beginnings, political systems transition, Kingship to Tyranny, to Aristocracy, to Oligarchy, to Democracy, to mob rule, and then finally a new king arises from the mob, and the cycle begins again.

Here we find that the very phenomenon which among other peoples is regarded as a subject for reproach, namely superstition, is actually the element which holds the Roman state together. These matters are treated with such solemnity and introduced so frequently both into public and into private life that nothing could exceed them in importance.

Akkadians, long ago, conquered Sumer and took control. Sargon led his armies; in their chariots they rolled. A grand empire for its time, spanning sea to sea. However, with the death of Sargon and the ascent of his sons to the throne, the huge Akkadian empire would fall out of their control; its grandeur lost to time if not for its restoration, rising once again by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

The Akkadian Empire is a formable that holds a decently sized strength in the Middle East region which is the subcontinent of Asia . It can be formed by Iraq (alongside with a few other good formables), faces two opposite seas. and frankly speaking is pressured by three of its larger neighboring countries. This makes it a recommendation for experienced players to form as if they want to be in the center of the conflict.

The Akkadian Empire was one of the first known empires in ancient Mesopotamia. It existed from approximately 2334 BCE to 2154 BCE and was founded by Sargon of Akkad. The empire encompassed a vast territory, including modern-day Iraq, Syria, and parts of Iran and Turkey. The Akkadians established a centralized government and introduced administrative reforms. They were known for their military conquests, including the defeat of Sumerian city-states. The Akkadian Empire made significant contributions to literature, art, and the development of the Akkadian language, which became the lingua franca of the region. However, the empire eventually declined due to internal conflicts and external pressures, leading to its collapse and the rise of other regional powers.

The Akkadian civilization emerged in Mesopotamia around the 24th century BCE. It was founded by Sargon of Akkad, who rose from humble origins to become the first ruler known to have created an empire. Sargon united various city-states and regions under his rule, establishing the Akkadian Empire.

Under Sargon's reign, the Akkadian Empire expanded its territory through military conquests, incorporating the Sumerian city-states and other neighboring regions. Sargon's successors, such as his son Rimush and grandson Naram-Sin, continued the empire's expansion and consolidation.

The Akkadians introduced administrative reforms and established a centralized government. They developed trade networks, promoted cultural exchange, and made advancements in literature, art, and architecture.

Despite their achievements, the Akkadians faced challenges and conflicts. They had to deal with frequent uprisings and resistance from conquered territories. Additionally, hostile groups such as the Gutians, a tribal confederation, posed threats to the empire.

After about two centuries of Akkadian rule, the empire began to weaken due to a combination of factors, including internal strife, economic issues, and external pressures. The Gutians eventually overran the Akkadian Empire, leading to its collapse around 2154 BCE.

Following the fall of the Akkadian Empire, Mesopotamia entered a period of fragmentation, with various city-states vying for power. Nevertheless, the Akkadians left a lasting legacy in the region, influencing subsequent civilizations and laying the foundation for the later empires of Mesopotamia.

The land surface of the Akkadian Empire's territory is hardly ever anything at all with plains being the most common. However, there are very small spots of Hilly terrain being located in a land that is northwest of Lebanon and another piece of land off at least around the center border of Turkey. Few Semi-Mountainous terrain is located to the Iran border as well as a Mountainous tile, also in Iran, south of the border being a hint of Iran's mountain range.

The biome of its landmass are only Arid which takes less than 1/2 of the total size of the Akkadian Empire. Arid being mention covers an area starting from the westernmost point of Iraq, then it extends its length in a slightly curved line passing through Kuwait and streching far beyond the Saudi Arabia border. It also coveres the entire area of the occupied zone of Al-Ahwaz and a small land in the north middle of Iran.

The borders of the Akkadian Empire from the north starts with Turkey from there to its largest border with Iran on the east with lots of jagged and sharp borders alongside and then from the south, Saudi Arabia with gentle border inside the Arabic Desert. There are also more countries it borders such as Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan from the western parts of the formable and finally Kuwait in the south. For its sea borders, it has the Mediterranean Sea to the west and then a small unlocked sea area in the furthest pocket of the Persian Gulf. It's sea access in the Mediterranean gives it a possible route to build its fleet while in the Persian Gulf it only has one port city which would do much good for it in that sea region.

As Iraq, get high tax, factory output 2 and public service act. Start making an electronics, steel and motor factory. Buy the resources as well. When the electronics factory is done, start selling the electronics and justify on Turkey and Syria. Make 2 more infantry units and when your justification with Syria is done, make sure you have 100k infantry.

Declare war on Syria and use ai luring. Conquer Syria and take everything. Justify on Iran. Use the money to build a fertilizer and 2-3 civillian factories. Get ready with at least 2k tanks. If you want to speed up the process of civil unrest decrease in Syria, turn up your government spending to low.

With the tanks, arid specialize them all and declare war on Turkey. Use ai luring if ai but if not, spam more tanks if you have more cash and make artillery. Quick reminder, sell the consumer goods if the factories are done.

English piracy and unregulated privateering flourished in the Pacific, the Caribbean, and the Indian Ocean because of merchant elites' active support in the North American colonies. Sea marauders represented a real as well as a symbolic challenge to legal and commercial policies formulated by distant and ineffectual administrative bodies that undermined the financial prosperity and defense of the colonies. Departing from previous understandings of deep-sea marauding, this study reveals the full scope of pirates' activities in relation to the landed communities that they serviced and their impact on patterns of development that formed early America and the British Empire.

"Hanna's well-argued and exhaustively researched book will stand as the critical work on early modern British piracy for some time, but it is also essential reading for anyone interested in the development of the empire."--William and Mary Quarterly

The Harvard Business Review writes that this report "explicitly counters the view held for decades that the sole focus of a corporation and its CEO is to maximize profits. Corporations are, according to the new statement, accountable to five constituencies, of which shareholders are only one. Customers, employees, suppliers, and communities are the others."

That is an incredible statement - and one which is both very welcome and inline with today's growing expectations. No longer is one group profiting at the expense of the other four; now they are all stakeholders, and that's an important perspective. But this is directly opposed to the original ideals of bureaucracy, which focuses on efficiency and benefit in only one area - and it still needs some work.
