== Description ==

=== ''Overview'' ===
[[The Great Balkan War]] was a regional war originating in the Balkans, eventually pulling in other nations worldwide, making it a global war. The war began when [[heat1804]], the leader of [[Romania]], attacked and killed [[Phillybob777]], the soon-to-be Augustus of [[Byzantium]], outside of [[Constantinople]], in a plan to uproot Byzantium in the Balkans with Kaiser Rulerultamisjr of Austria Hungary. Immediately after, [[Romania]] and [[Austria-Hungary]] both declared war on [[Byzantium]] with no apparent casus belli. By declaring war on [[Byzantium]], [[Austria-Hungary]] violated the [[Intermarium Alliance]], in which both of the nations were member states. Following this declaration of war, Magenent decided to spectate the battle, but this was interrupted by a MinskanRus volunteer (DethLogik) trying to kill Magenent, this caused Norge and Denmark to join the war against Austria-Hunary, Romania and Greater_Moravia. Bulgaria and Minskanrus declare neutrality, though a few Minskan troops decided to aid Austria-Hungary and Romania. Already being hostile against [[Byzantium]], [[Greater_Moravia]] joined the war as an ally of [[Romania]] and [[Austria-Hungary]]. As the neighboring Balkan nations were mobilizing their armies, more nations came to the aide of [[Byzantium]]. [[Brazil]], [[Carolinga]], [[Tunisia]], [[Denmark]], and [[Norge]] joined against the Romanian/Austria-Hungarian/Moravian coalition. The war had gone global at this point, sourcing many troops from all around into [[Constantinople|Byzantium's capital]] during the [[Battle of Constantiople]]. The [[Turkish_Republic]] came to help the defenders near the conclusion of the battle.

=== ''Timeline'' ===
(Work in progress; will depict events of war in chronological order)

==== '''12 January 2019''' ====
(Add some initial battles/Constantinople here)

==== '''13 January 2019''' ====
On the second day of the conflict, [[ISIS]] joined in as a third party purely looking for blood, while [https://earthmc.wikia.com/wiki/Spain Spain] and [[Australia]] later decided to go against Byzantium, announcing it each on their discord servers.

==== '''14 January 2019''' ====
On the 3rd day of the conflict, things started to get heated. In retaliation of discovering heat's intentions on taking the swampland, Byzantium created the town of Isaccea west of Aegyssus. Romania then made Epic_Greece west of Phillippopolis, next to its road.

==== '''15 January 2019''' ====
On the 4th day of the conflict, The Tilted Powers came to Byzantium with their demands. Romania demanded the town of Aegyssus, locating in the swampland. Austria-Hungary demanded Salona, Dalmalia (former Anderta), and Mostar. Byzantium was not pleased with the "outrageous" demands and declined them. Immediately following this, Byzantium launched "Operation Kick Ass" and planted 3 forts near Austria_Hungary capital. Fort_Sly, Fort_Para, and Fort_Joenzi were the names of the towns.

==== '''16 January 2019''' ====
On the 5th day of the conflict, Brazil's nation leader, Heinz88, declared that the nation was joining The Tilted Powers. Albania also joined the war on Byzantium's side, creating Siege_camp directly east of Bucharest. Byzantium has offered an ultimatum to Romania, giving them 24 hours to respond. Both Romania and Austria Hungary refused these offers, with Austria Hungary citing that the agreement was the same as the one that failed in the first place and caused the war.

==== '''18 January 2019''' ====
<nowiki> </nowiki>On the 7th day of the conflict, Aragon, mainly Slaid_, joined the Tilted Powers, and Byzantium got attacked in the same city as The First and Second battle of Constantinople, except this time, rather than being outside the wall, the battle took place within the actual city. This day's conflict lasted for 3 hours and after that time, intruders started leaving the place.

==== '''4 March 2019''' ====
On the 4th of March, almost 2 months after the start of the conflict, a peace treaty was made between Byzantium-GRE and Romania. This put an end to the Romanian - Roman front for the war. Almost no major conflicts have taken place after the two Battles of Constantinople and the signing of the Treaty.[[File:War Footage-Third Battle of Constantinople - Video|thumb|330x330px|'''Footage recorded for free use on January 18, 2019.''']]

== Motivations and Events Leading up to the War ==
The war was first planned by Austria Hungary, due to conflicts with borders from Byzantium's colonization of Bosnia and Dalmatia, which both nations were interested in occupying. Diplomacy was attempted between Justinian of Byzantium, and Kaiser Rulerultamisjr of Austria Hungary. Austria Hungary was left displeased with the Justinian's offers over borders, and felt increasingly threatened with more and more towns being planted in Bosnia by Byzantium, which continued to raise tensions between the nations. During this spree of colonization, the town of Mostar was placed over the Austro Hungarian Adriatic Railway, and the people of Mostar built a pitfall trap griefing the rail. This event was considered to be last straw for Austria Hungary, leaving the Kaiser convinced that he had to go to war. Before the actual war was declared, Austria Hungary approached Romania, knowing how much they hate Byzantium, and Greater Moravia, as they were already at war, leading to the formation of their coalition. The deal made with Romania was that they would get to take the Aegyssus Swamps after the war. Austria Hungary, also took in the Roman Claimant, and out law of Byzantium, Marcellus Julius Imperator, who previously conducted several raids on small Byzantine towns prior to the declaration of war.

== Battles ==
As the war is still going on, the current list of battles represent the ones that have occurred thus-far.

=== Battle of Constantinople ===
The battle of Constantinople was fought in an unclaimed area between Constantinople and Turnovo. The fight started with roughly a 15v10 in Austria-Hungary and Romania's favor, and they temporarily took the field, but after regrouping and recruiting more troops from various countries, the Byzantines marched in with about 20-25 troops and took the battlefield, driving their opponents back into a small tunnel area on the Bulgarian side.

==== ''Perspective'' ====
As there are conflictions between how the proceeded, the following will be divided into two sections, the Byzantine POV and Marcellus' POV.

===== '''Byzantine POV''' =====
In the end, the battle itself was ceased when Magenent blew up heat1804 and DethLogik with an end crystal. After getting two of their generals blown up, and with supplies running low, the Austro-Hungarians and Romanians retreated and left the battlefield, leaving the Byzantine troops to declare victory over the battle. Most casualties were from the Austria-Hungary and Romanian sides, with some casualties amongst the Byzantines, and Bulgarian "field medics" being killed by troops and armorless spectators.

Explosives were a primary attack used in the battle, allowing the Byzantines to get some kills, while also accidentally harming some Bulgarians in some of the explosions.

===== '''Marcellus' POV''' =====
After violent back and forth fighting between both sides, Byzantine casualties mounted up. In return, several Byzantine allies, such as Judea, Albania, Denmark and Norge arrived. Although, the Tilted Powers swiftly defeated their initial reinforcements, their supplies began to dwindle.

Seeing the battle as won, the Titled Powers began to kill off the remaining Byzantine. But in a sudden stroke of luck, Magement and 4Noah18 arrived at the battle, catching the Titled Powers off guard. With their forces divided, Magement and 4Noah18 were able to quickly defeat and push back the Tilted Powers.

==== ''Conclusion'' ====
Now, the battle turned into a blood bath. The Byzantine had regrouped and began to swiftly push back the remaining Tilted forces. Concluding the battle as a pyrrhic victory. Seeing that both Byzantine and Titled Powers lost numerous casualties.

=== Siege of Bucharest ===
The Siege of Bucharest happened roughly 10-15 minutes after the end of the Battle of Constantinople, which after regrouping and discussing, about 20 or so Byzantines marched forth to Bucharest, led by YellowVictini, and laid siege on the areas around the town, using dirt to build signs like 'LOL' and 'HEAT GAY', as heat hid in his house in Bucharest, having only pants and boots left out of his equipment. The troops left after approximately 10-15 minutes, pursuing Marcellus, the Byzantine traitor.

=== Siege of Ram_RanchII ===
[[File:2019-01-12 18.44.08.png|thumb|210x210px|Victory screenshot at Ram_RanchII]]
After his realization of his being chased, Marcellus teleported back to his house in Ram_RanchII, leading the Byzantine troops to go there, and lay siege upon the town for Marcellus' cowering. After seeing the two dozen or so troops, he blockaded himself in his house, while the Byzantines messed around his house, and eventually took victory screenshots in front of his house, with a dirt sign saying 'BIG GAY' in the background as to mock Marcellus. Whilst taking the screenshots, DethLogik attempted to blow up the troops, but failed after being spotted.

After the siege, victory for the day was announced just prior to 5pm EST, and a small victory party was held at the Hippodrome at Constantinople

=== Attack at Myrmidones ===
Some time around 12pm (EST), Marcellus Julius led a division of Entente Troops to lay siege to Myrmidones. Initially, the Byzantine garrison occupying the city fled, while Marcellus and his troops began to slaughter their farm animals.

===== '''Byzantine POV''' =====
Calling for reinforcements, the Byzantine quickly approached the small force and a confrontation was met. Most of Marcellus' troops logged and left. To the Byzantine, it was seen as a decisive victory.

===== '''Marcellus' POV''' =====
Calling for reinforcements, the Byzantine slowly closed in on the small force and a confrontation was met though, swiftly ended as watergod (ISIS) allowed for Marcellus and his troops to fall back. After the battle, Marcellus claimed it as "some sort of victory," since his intent was to harass and sabotage Byzantine towns and cities.

=== Byzantine Skirmish with ISIS ===

==== Byzantine Perspective ====
Later that day, soon after the Coronation of Justinian as the new leader of Byzantium, a small skirmish happened within the Byzantine walls in a small patch of wilderness, mostly between a few hole-camping ISIS troops, MLGTerra, watergod and Proda and everyone at the coronation. There was a few casualties on the Byzantine side, while MLGTerra, watergod and Proda (ISIS) /t spawned when they ran out of potions.

=== Second Battle of Constantinople ===
Soon after, another battle broke out between the Austro-Hungarian/Romanians and Byzantines at the same place as the last battle. This time, however, there was a small medic station at the west end of the battlefield, where the medics seem to be more or less supportive of the Byzantines, initially the battle started out with a small force, around 4 Austro Hungarians and Romanians. Though as the battle went on, more troops from Austria Hungary joined in leading to a regrouping, while at the same time Magenent and 4noah18 joined on the Byzantine side, after the Byzantines began
[[File:2019-01-13 20.13.12.png|thumb|220x220px|The space between Turnovo and Constantinople after the Second Siege]]
suffering major losses, this brought new balance to the battlefield, leading to a near stalemate. Shortly after this, ISIS joined in the fight alongside Canadian Proda and New Zealander CuttleFishNZ. ISIS appeared as a third party, while the independent combatant from New Zealand sided with the Austrians and Romanians, killing everyone in the area, mostly Byzantines. During the peak of the battle, a massive amount of TNT was used, leading to massive losses on the Byzantine side. After around an hour of fighting, the Byzantines fell back, and left the battlefield, after suffering major losses, leading to an 'ISIS victory' being declared, and the battlefield being left scarred by the massive amounts of griefs.

The town of '''Timor''' is an island town in Asia, just north of Australia on the island it is named after.{{Infobox_town|title1 = Timor|mayor: = GymSock17|nation: = Island Union (IU)|languages = English}}
[[File:Flag of TImor.png|thumb|220x220px|The Official Flag of Timor]]

== The Early Days ==
Timor was founded in early June of 2017, by [[GymSock17]] after he sailed to the island on a long voyage from spawn. Originally hoping to found a town in Europe, Gym changed his mind after looking at the DynamicMap, finding the continent to be too full of towns, and to have too many aggressive players and nations. After spending some time observing the DynMap, GymSock decided that the island of Timor in the Lesser Sundra Islands would be an excellent place to start operations. The town's first spawn was on the easternmost end of the island, at the start of the docks. Gym's house wold become the first building on the island, soon followed by the crafting hall. Soon the town gained two more players, helping Timor continue to expand. However, the town faced a serious developmental problem: all the land beyond the recently established basecamp was covered in thick jungle, teeming with hostile mobs lurking in its dark crevices.

== Early Expansion Period ==
Now with a small foothold on the island, Gym and his fellow townsfolk began to take roles for town expansion. GymSock17 would deal with cutting down the trees and killing any hostile mobs within them, hot_shot17 (now named HawtDawg__) would work on mining, and OwlArchitect would focus on agriculture. Timor's expansion efforts lead to the construction of two more houses, and caught the attention of the town's first nation, [[Prestige WorldWide (PWW)|Prestige WorldWide]]. Timor was now a relevant town, with roughly two-thirds the island cleared of jungle, more buildings, and further expansion plans.

== Later Expansion Period ==
After taking a few months break from the server, GymSock17 returned with the intention to fulfill his panned expansions.

The later expansion period began with the construction of the Capitol of Timor. A massive building covering over 12 chunks, the Capitol of Timor has three floors: the Congressional room, a balcony floor overlooking the Congress, and a Meeting Room. The roof of the Capitol has a glass dome that shines into the indoor garden on the first floor, and the structures on the roof can also act as a fortress in a case of emergency, with stockpiles of weapons, ammo, armor, and food at the top. In addition, a massive Timor flag is displayed on a pole from the roof, visible to all incoming players from chunks around. The Capitol has outdoor balconies on the second and third levels, with the front side extending around the six large quartz columns. The outside first floor also had a wooden pier for players to walk on as well.

After spending two weeks on the Capitol, GymSock was able to single-handedly construct the building, only using materials found on and under Timor. Then, the final deforestation project for Timor began. Half of a week later, only one small tree was left, on the easternmost end of the island. Gym left it there as a poetic reminder that even islands covered in hostile terrain can be tamed by a man with an ambition.

Recently, there has been a slight population increase in Timor. New members, such as YellowVictini and Captain_Comical, have started new projects in the town and have started expanding it too. New areas such as "The Fort" and the "Salvia Islands" have become projects for the bustling town. The town has also started and almost finished construction on an arena known as the "SMSSS" or "South Moluccas Super Stone Stadium" on the nearby island of South Moluccas. It seems that the small town has many new ambitions and might see even more expansion in the future.[[Category:Towns]]
