Description 900 BCE: After centuries of dominance in Europe and despite having founded a number of colonies in the New World, civil war breaks out in the Atlantean Empire as rogue generals fight for control of the empire. The war eventually leads to the collapse of the Atlantean Empire and plunges the world into a Dark Age.

813 BCE: The Egyptian Pharo orders that the lands of Atlantis in North Africa be brought into the empire, Egypt becomes the dominant power in the Mediterranian.

777 BCE: A few Atlantean colonials in the New World manage to stop the advance of the native peoples into their territory. The Red Paint Peoples have taken over the few colonial towns in the North East, while native slaves rise up and take over the Yucatan territories.

625 BCE: The Atlantean Empire is a broken nation, and while it has finally retaken the ancient city of its birth, it remains a civilization in decline. In the New World its outports have not been heard from in centuries, though they've managed to preserve much of the technologies that made Atlantis great; while the Olmec and Mayan civilizations along with the Mooreheads have adapted the knowledge from the Atlantean colonials to build great civilizations of their own.

Your description of the Altantean Empire sounds an awful lot like Byzantium (Eastern Roman Empire) in it's final days, weakened after taking back Rome from the barbarians and declining steadily afterwards.

Very good job here.

Well, there goes another empire, is what I think when I see this. The Egyptions seize the opportunity to establish a sort of hegemony over the Mediterranean and become the new hot shots. You've managed to make this very realistic in the sense of how nations come and go.

And also... DAMN those Jomon expand fast! o.o
