In 1010, Wingbardy, under Beakolini, finally invaded the colony of New Mareland. The overwhelming force of tanks, artillery, and bombers continues to grind forward as cities are bombed day and night by the enemy's air force.

And yet, life goes on, even in a city being bombed. Citizens must make do, the war effort be fueled by engines of industry and labor.

This is one family's story, under fire.

Made for the Six Annual Equestria at War Writing contest.

Ever since Equestria was teleported to Earth, there has been both friendships and tensions between humans and ponies. In particular, the latter are skeptical of humanity's past.

One pony enrolls in a human college, intending to learn the truth for herself.

The Colony of Starhorse Bay in Zebrica, originally established as a trading outpost, has grown quite large. It's leaders grow greedy, hoping to grab onto more. Confident they can grab the gold and diamond mines deeper in the continent, they eagerly push inland.

They are faced by the Mstari Zebra tribe, which, although technologically inferior to the ponies they face, are no less determined. A clash at the great Pundamilia Mlima becomes inevitable.

The banishing of Nightmare Moon has brought much suffering to thestrals throughout Equestria. They are seen as servants to a wicked manifestation of the night, and are treated accordingly. Many officials, including the mayor of Manehattan, use every opportunity to gain from this abuse.

Yet the spirit of the bat-winged ponies is not so easily broken. Count Shadow Wing leads a band of Thestrals to demand their rights be returned... or else.

The Equestrian Survivors, a faction that arose to the galactic stage after a magic-aided nuclear holocaust consumed Equestria and the entire world, found the universe to be colder than it appeared. Tempest Shadow, made the Alicorn of Survival after the destruction of Equestria, ultimately made the decision to become a protectorate under the Zenak Assemblers, a race of robots. Though the resulting technological advances did much to aid Equestria's revival and to strengthen the nation, the Zenak implemented a plan to integrate the Survivors, to put them under their direct rule. Tempest, becoming aware of their plan, led her ponies in revolt against the machines.

Now here they are, at the end of the war, and must pay the price for their decisions...

A Stellaris-based story. Also my first first-person story.

Based on Civ 5; World Congress and other Civilization sketches by Door Monster.

With many nations in the world of Equestria, there are many different rulers, and they all have different agendas and goals... naturally, these don't always align.

After the Changeling Lands, under Queen Chrysalis, invaded Olenia, Equestria rallied to defend its neighbor. The war lasted three years, and saw ups and downs, loss, victory and defeat for both sides. However, in the end, the two allies overcame the changeling hordes. Chrysalis fled, and a treaty was signed by a lesser queen willing to take her place.

The trouble is, many changelings still consider themselves to be Chrysalis' subjects... and refuse to allow their nation to be occupied, or changed, without a fight...

------------------------------------------------

Gore is for occasional mention of, or scenes with, major wounds and means of death, though its not constant or focused on throughout the story. Violence is for the combat scenes. Dark is for, well, it's soldiers fighting guerrilla changelings, and those changelings largely support an evil ideology.

Written for Equestria at War, including the 2019 writeoff. The reason I am not part of that group is because HOI4 currently isn't working for me, mods or no, and as such I cannot even play EAW or experience what it is like except from watching other people on Youtube.

Note that I don't endorse hate. I'm not for war crimes or for the evil feelings caused by combat. However, both these things happen, especially in an insurgency where most of the population supports the insurrection and regularly espouse hate, disgust, or contempt toward the occupying forces. I don't endorse or promote it, but it does, sadly, exist.

1002. Following a successful attack against Canterlot, the sudden changeling invasion strikes hard. Although the Element Bearers and the Princesses managed to escape, the tide of insectile horses ravages Northern Equestria.

In response, the nations of the world, including the Avalon Republic (a human nation), declare war on the Changeling Empire, and muster troops. Across the southern stretches of Equestria, changelings battle an alliance of ponies, humans, griffons, hippogriffs, zebras, and Saddle Arabians. Millions clash in trench warfare that extends from the San Palomino Desert to the Hayseed Swamps. The prize; a continent's enslavement or it's freedom. But which side is more willing to make the final sacrifice?

Will have references and uses of weapons in Battlefield 1. Is partially inspired by the Great Martian War of 1913-1917, a fictional but serious documentary. Story is written as a historical narrative, with some third person points of view at some points.

After portals to Equestria opened, humans and ponies have migrated to each others' lands. Some aren't sure what to feel, while others welcome the newcomers.

Not all immigrants have happy beginnings in their new homelands. A man driving his truck down the road one rainy night discovers this the hard way a a family of thestrals soaks beneath a dark, cloudy sky.

Forewarning; this story will feature heavy Christian themes, along with other topics that may trigger people. If you don't like that, please don't say you weren't warned.

Leon had been looking forward to this trip to Equestria for months; a few days with his best friends, hanging out and playing even more games side by side with Princess Luna and Edward Stanton.

What no one suspects is that the gaming is going to a whole new level, one that will endanger those caught in the unexpected storm. Unexpectedly, Leon, Eddy, and Spike are whisked away to a whole new world... a deadly new world, one teeming with hazards and monsters like none of the gang has seen - outside of a game, of course.

This is a side-story to the original Let's play some games with Leon, Luna, and Eddy (formerly Leon, Luna, and eddy play World of Tanks). You might not understand all the characters and references if you haven't read the original story.
