Too bad you didn't start a nice little War of Pillaging The Germans (TM). But I see, the land is just too good to leave it unclaimed by going to war. Still, I hope some of our border cities will finally make the neighbours agry. Early GA anyone?

I don't think so. This crowding is probably the result of the map setting. Remember, it's 80% water.

	The reign of McMeadows I Put an end to popups!

1000 BC McMeadows stepped to the throne. In the spirit of his predecessor Beta he intended to reign peacefully.
Word cane out that the yet to be met Maya had built the Oracle in Chichén Itza.

Some years later Germanicum was founded in honour of our respected neighboors. To proclaim that they were really happy this way the border between our nations shifted a bit in our advance is probably a bit overdone.

900 BC Russia demanded we shared our knowledge on literature or else we would have to pay the consequences. We accepted the challenge after we had checked the distance of Russia towards our nation. So war it was. The foreign ministry got to work on the double and in that same year embassies in Paris and Berlin were erected. Both capitals were working on the Pyramids and eager to show their progression. Berlin was due in 430 BC, Paris sometime AD. The enthusiasm of the German and French leaders was sky high and they were both happy to take the punches from Russia.

Our people were very thankfull for the progression Carthage was making and in 875 and 800 BC they volunteered to help build a palace.

Meanwhile our lone wandering warrior took down a barb camp. A Russian warrior who had just met the French which caused him injuries was helped out of its misery at the benefit of a promotion for our warrior to become vet.

The Chinese, French and some other nation all payed 20(+) gold for philosophy. Poverty is abundant among our neighboors, they couldn't pay more.

730 BC Carthage started building the Great Library. It's up to our predecessors to decide which wonder will in the end be erected in our capital.
Ferro Forresti was founded in which way we secured an iron source.
The Americans were kindly asked to make a contribution to our treasure and they gracefully donated 13 gold. The Russians added an extra 25 gold to end the war, in order to concentrate on their other enemies. How afwul it must be to have walked into a war opposing 3 enemies.

570 BC 32 gold for horseback from French. Better to have some money than to have them trade it with one of the AI's
In the same year The first Dynastie of McMeadae came to an end. They reigned peacefully. Despotism nonetheless has had its best time. Republic is due in 530 BC.

	Ferro Grainus Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I need to apologise for this situation. I saw this beautifull spot and had a settler available. Took some time to get there. Soon the Americans took a spot really close, but hey I thought, the iron and grain are still available. 1 turn before I settled the Chinese did as well and that pissed me off. Settled anyway and in a normal game I would have mede it my personal vendetta to have that city grow in culture before the other 2 would.

When I planted it, I planned to go Warrior, Worker, other things. The second citizen wouldn't do much anyway, so making a Worker seems more useful to me.

But then again, King Modo died a while ago, so who would listen to him.

Yup - that would have made more sense. I think I set it to temple simply as a stop gap. Blame Beta I. Personally, I think his reign was greatly over-rated.

This has turned out to be an interesting start situation. It will fun to see where the next series of kings takes us.

I will have to get a serious look at this. Germans seem a good target since they are so close and are at war with Russia. I will have to put many cities into Mercenaries/Horsemen since our (effective) military is only 8 mercenaries, most of which are needed for defence. Will war brake out swiftly during my reign, or will preparations stall me?

emperor McMeadows I stepped down at the end of his reign. Despotism was out of time and he had allready have an assembly of wise men think out a different form of government: Republic, which is deadlined for 530 BC. To prepare for the changes, McMeadows I has allready voluntary made way. He's now fishing at his settlement by the sea.

Gameis Carthage had only daughters so his surname disappeared from society. His Great-Grandson, Prince Cubium was given Gameis as his surname when was proclaimed king.

All went well, Gameis prepared for war on the Germans. The Russians made peace with the French but continued fighting the germans and King Gameis decided to revolt to republic. When war preparations were nearly complete, something very unplanned happened.

The Battles of Cirta
Growing French swordsman population on the border worried Cubium Gameis, so he began rushing Numidian mercenaries in Cirta. Sure enough, the french entered Carthage borders after the first mercenary was complete. The French declared war and attacked with two swordsmen. The first was defeated with only one HP loss, the Numidians also gained combat experience. The other swordsman attacked and took the Numidian down another notch, but he was quickly defeated and the mighty Numidian was promoted to elite status. two more came soon, horsemen ambushed them on many sides but they stayed strong, though extremely tired. The elite Numidian defeated one, a horseman from Leptis Magna defeated the other. French archers approached, the elite Numidian made quick work of the infidel, while a horseman was promoted to elite with the defeat of the other.
Causualties- 1 Numidian, 3 horses
4 french swords, 2 French archers

The Capture of Orleans
Orleans was captured in quick retaliation. The weak French buckled under the might of the horsemen of the Carthagians. In defence of orlean another elite Numidian came to be, after which he chased down a french swordsman.
Causualties- 2 french spears, in retreat 2 french archers and 1 french sword.

*We would have iron at this point but earlier I pillaged a road by Orleans. Oops.*

The Seige of Paris, or the Battle for the Mausoleum.
A catapult had been bombarding paris for awhile with no success, but with reinforcments coming the battalion outside of paris was prepared to ride to victory. The battalion was made of 6 horsemen, 3 numidians, and the catapult of course.
2 elite Numidians were generated, 3 horses, and one numidian lost, 3 or four spearman killed, and Paris captured. 1 worker and a settler surrendered themselves.

Production started shifting in Carthage, from the war to the economy.

The Great Library has been completed, right before Cubium Gameis's horrible death by a stray stone from a French child, a horseman quickly picked up the devilish youth and took him to Carthage where he was stoned to death. He was then taken back to the battlefront, and launched into Tours with a note "The great son of Carthage has been avenged"

Our military-13 horses
13 numidians
1 catapult

I would recommend more workers, we only have 9. Our 6 warriors can be upgraded soon with our new iron to supplement us.
If we get into a different war Germany would be a prime target, they have Pyramids in Berlin, which is a spittings distance from Germanicium.

The causualties may not be right, but... we still won didn't we?

The concept allready seemed to be interesting to me, as I bumped the thread, but I must admit I'm enjoying this game more then I expected.

No risk of too many "one more turns" is an advantage too. Furthermore the game moves on while I'm sleeping. We'll be done shortly and I'm allready in for a next game. Good armtwist job you did here Paddy. But the best part is reading how the other kings are doing. Each with his own style and a nice story to read.

Paddy II good luck..

Dear Jennifer,

I so so hope that this letter finds you well and having fun in the lands of the Americans. Your presence is sorly missed in our lives. I hope that you will hurry back into our lives,

I sit here on the Grand Beach, just to the North East of Leptis Magna. Ahh the hours we sat here, ahh the hours you sat here while I dived, ahh the fun we gad

Well today is a strange day. As you know, for the past 17 months I have trained for the Grand Beach Pearl Diving Competition, and here today I am surrounded by several thousand of our fellow country men and women as we cheer on the divers in the quest for a great pearl. Yes you have read correctly, I sit here watching the competitors as they swim out on to the reef and then dive into the sacred shoals.

It is not that I have been injured dear Jennifer, nor have I been removed for a bad dive, struth mate they did not even let me dive.

You see last month my distant Cousin King Cubium Gameis secummed to old age and passed onto the halls of our elders.

Who was to know, the cheeky sod left me as his hier, thus as King, and a newly Crowned King, I am not to partake in such adventurous pursuits as chase the sacred shoals.

All that training we all went through as children just may come in handing in the coming time.

In the past month I have sat through copious meetings with an amazing assortment of envoys, group leaders, guild masters and travelling salesmen

Ahh you would so remeber the wonders and issues of court.

Be well my friend, and never forget that this is your home...

oh, and we all miss you

Paddy II
