(Tacitus) This land is not your land, this land is my land. GET OFF

This round was very filled with war, resurgence and betrayal. My statement before about the state of Crete's ruler was in fact quite correct, not only did King Jannabis kill himself, but the new King, Jaman Min, began to encroach on Thrace's and Babylon's land. Jaman Min was very coy about leaving this territory, causing the two civilizations to plan defensive measures just in case. Then, an epidemic came into both Thrace and Babylon, which came from the cretin invaders. This epidemic destroyed two Babylonian cities and one Thracian city. This angered Thrace, Babylon and Illyaria, so they began to attack Crete and push its forces away from Thrace's land. Meanwhile, a civil war in Africa gave rise to a new leader for Egypt, whose name is still pending. This new leader discuss's with Queen Grace of Thrace, Queen Kirbia and King Connorabi about pushing against the Cretan forces, and helping him rebuilding the greatness of the former Egyptian empire. Queen Grace of Thrace is conflicted on this: on the one hand, she remembers how much time and energy was spent by the other civilizations to destroy Egypt for the greater good, but she knows that she needs to move the Cretan forces off her land, and only the leader of the African rebels would provide her any assistance in this matter. As she pushed the Cretan forces out of her land, Emperor Adamus of Italy was busy developing his civilization, focusing on Medicine and Engineering, however it did suffer from a horrific volcanic eruption that took down Rome, though it was rebuilt in a day. Crete eventually joined the "Allies", along with Italy and Africa, in order to end the African rebels. They wanted Thrace to join, but the tension with Crete made Thrace stay neutral. Queen Grace of Thrace negotiated her neutrality with Emperor Adamus; the terms were that Crete would get off her land immediately. All Ally civilizations agreed, but Crete was quite slow in getting off Thrace. The process however, was expidited by a famine in Illyaria which destroyed many of the Cretan forces and cities, and eventually led to the destruction of Crete itself. Which brought great joy to the people of Thrace and they held many festivals with their sister civilization Illyaria. But this joy and festivities is short lived, as Jaman Min has risen again, this time, from a civil war in Italy. Queen Grace of Thrace is very concerned that he will attempt to get onto her land again, as Emperor Adamus is giving him Cyprus and Adamus himself is beginning to colonize the Babylonian coast. This time of peace is comforting to Queen Grace of Thrace, but she is also quite concerned about her and King Connorabi's land.
