Line 55:
By 1100, the empire was beginning to crumble as numerous "barbaric" tribes appeared from the north and south, attacking settlements and raiding farms and temples. The Aciremas had initially attempted to pacify the tribes with bribes and payments, but this quickly bankrupted the empire. The Aciremian empire was engulfed in civil war, and by 1110, it had broken up into six different kingdoms, all of them too weak to defend against the invaders. There is no official date as to when the Aciremian empire collapsed, though, as the local governments were frequently assimilated into their new rulers rather than simply being overthrown. The last of these wars ended around 1141, which some say marked the official end of the Aciremian empire. After the war ended, many of the tribes adopted the Aciremian religion, which helped foster peace and unity amongst the drastically different groups, although they remained separate for the most part.
 
Kaleovich was captured in 1139, although it was not renamed. The attackers—the Ocixems—Ocixems—had had seigedsieged the settlement for ten months straight, finding the geography extraordinarily difficult to navigate. The water and the cliffs provided a natural defense that, combined with the palisade, made it seem almost impossible to defeat. However, this natural defense also imprisoned the Aciremians inside, rendering them unable to escape. The Ocixem were eventually able to construct better canoes and boats that were fast and easy to maneuver, allowing them to quickly attack fishermen and soldiers along the coast, and brought archers within range of the palisade. Around 11pm on August 30, 1139, several Ocixem boats rowed silently towards the island where Kaleovich stood. Ocixem archers lit their arrows on fire and launched them towards the wooden palisade, which burned down quickly. Having nowhere to go, the Aciremians surrendered, and at least one hundred of them were beheaded and thrown into the water. Like many of the other tribes, the Ocixem adopted the Aciremian religion, and the temple was not damaged by the fighting.
 
The Ocixem lived in the area for several hundred years until 1861, when [[Admiral Landgraab]], on a government-sponsored expedition to spread the borders of SimNation westward, conquered the Ocixems, whom he considered "barbaric" and "in need of civilization". The Ocixem, having established Kaleovich as a vital trading and military post, fought to the bitter end; in the resultant fighting, the entire town was burned to the ground. Admiral Landgraab assigned a governor to rebuild the settlement and continued westward, having no interest in attacking the Aciremian temple. The governor—a John Simovitch—renamed the settlement SimVille and began rebuilding it. In 1862, Landgraab County was created, and SimVille became part of the county in 1864.
