Crossing the Don (Roman Nation RP)

[Erodios]

Please note: This RP is based of of the game Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasion. I have altered the game slightly for gameplay purposes, so the history may be off. I apologise to whomever is offended by this.

Europe 363 AD~

349 years have passed since the end of the Roman Republic, and much has changed. The empire now spans from the shores of hispania to the edges of Mesopotamia. However, the imperium has been forced to retreat from Brittania, and here the kingdom of Brittania has risen, a semi-roman kingdom that controls the former province. Most of Africa remains under roman control, save for some regons in which the native berbers have risen up.

To the east, the Persian empire has been reformed under the Sassanid banner, and they have their sights set on their former lands. The tribes of germania are slowly becoming more and more organized, with nations such as the Franks and the Allemanni rising up. And Rome herself is begining to decline, well at least the west is.... The Eastern empire is doing reletively well.
However, it looks like things may soon change, for a storm comes out from the east. The far eastern steppes bring a menace that was not predicted, and no one was prepared for the destruction that came with it. A people, the product of witches mixed with evil spirits they say, the Huns.

These people come from the east and carve a path of carnage as they tear though the land, and noone can stop them. They force the Germans and the Sarmatians further west, further towards Rome. But no one would dare go after rome, right? It would seem that way, but one must think, what would a tribe desperate for thier survival be willing to do?

See the map above? Yep, you get to pick from that little map there, pick a nation.

Western Roman Empire: Red
Eastern Roman Empire: Purple
Romano-British: Dark Blue
Sassanids: Light Blue
Berbers: Light Green
Celts: Dark Green
Saxons: Olive Brown
Allemanni: Teal
Franks: Medium Blue
Burgundians: Dark Purple
Lombards: Pink
Sarmatians: Yellow
Goths: Orange
Vandals: Dark Brown Tent
Huns: Black Tent
Slavs: White Tent

There is also the topic of Hoards:

The following nations can Hoard:

Franks
Burgundians
Lombards
Sarmatians
Goths
Vandals
Huns
Slavs


Hoarding is a privilage, and is crutial to the nomad civilizations. While you may be less techologically capable than the more organized nations, you are nearly impossible to kill. This is because when the last settlement of a nomad civilization is taken, they simply gather their things and march off. However, when a nation is a hoard, they receve no trade, cannot form diplomatic alliances, and cannot produce anything.

[Erodios]

Differant Don. This one is in Russia, it's the river the Huns crossed when they starte to attack the Romans.

[KnightShade]

Ah, the Romans stopped at the river Don before Scotland so I thought it'd be that one. Almost got Hadrians wall through Yorkshire
