The Reign of Beta III
It took Beta III's reign a while to get going, but once he got going, it was an interesting period in Carthage's history.
1250 ad
Started Nationalism.
1255 ad
Got spices from Portugal for Naviagtion.
Did this because Liz of England wnated three luxuries and three techs for ivory. Ummm ...NO. And we will remember this when we come looking for you!!!
More troops on the move to the warring continent.
1270
Finished Nationalism.
First pollution hits. 
Give serious consideration to researching Communism, and switching governments, just to add some flavour ....mostly red. But decide for electricity instead. We wll stick with Republic.
1280
In around here we get Leo's. 
1285
I invade the Mayan Empire. I have been building toward this the last few turns. The pics will explain more.
1290
The attack.
The western front - Chichen Itza - is a messy affair. Two elite cavalry go down, including Modo's House Guard.But we get the Oracle. The city is renamed in honour of Modo's Imperial Guard.
The eastern front is a cakewalk - Yaxchilan falls quickly.
1295
The Portuguese cross the border - and declare war when asked to leave.
Our frigate sinks a Portuguese galleon. 
1300
Started replaceable parts , having finished electricity.
1305
The Portuguese cross the border in force - with Knights, and Templars.
Thet are also tryiong to land troops, but the Great Galleon defense keeps them out at sea. See pic.
We, the Carthaginians, land in Portugal. See pic.
Mongols demand incense. I am ...incensed.... but as the northern border is shaky with the portuguese invasion, I say , no problem, here you go. But we will remember.
1310
New leader Oliver The Great (the great tabby cat sleeping near the monitor), created from slaying Portuguese invaders. Many knights and templars are killed. The new leader creates new four-unit cavalry army.
Twelve more units land in Portugal. They now have to be wondering what they got themselves into.
1315
Bonampak taken from the Portuguese.
Meanwhile ...back at home .. a Great Railway Build has been underway. Started by my predecessor, I have completed the great cross-continental Carthaginian Railway. The last spike is driven home, and now a unit produced in Shanghai can be in Yaroslavl immediately, and on a galleon heading for the ront (3 turns).Work on numerous other rail lines continues.
It should be mentioned that our economy at home has continued to grow, Marketplaces, libraries, banks, factories, the occasional temple where needed, and courthouses have all been built in considerable numbers.
The Portuguese wisely sue for peace. I take their treasury of 91 gold. I am a bit concerned about war weariness. Been at it for awhile.
1320
Took Copan, the capital, from the Mayans. This also gets us the Great Lighthouse.
1325
Get replaceable parts, and start the corporation. Numerous rfles and cannon get upgraded over the next couple of turns. This is getting very mismatched,
1335
The final push on the Mayans. Palenque, Lagartero, and Tikal all fall.
We reach peace with Mayans. We get music theory and 8 gold. They have a city to the far north.
My work is done. I have continued the conquests of my ancestors, and yet built the empire into an economic powerhouse. I now retire to my country estate, to tend my grape vines, and let younger and more ambitious leaders forge the future.
But to forge that future they will have an insurmountable tech lead and a super-power economy, not to mention modern artillery and infantry, and a strong force of cavalry. Do damage, my friends, do damage.
(btw - where is the Forbidden Palace - I gave up looking for it - but I know it has been built.)
