Could you switch that up a little? You know, play first wine second.
2 good reasons.

And back on topic... King Beta, where are you? |
quote:
With a cry of all hail Modo II, Beta II passes out in the main fountain of Carthage. That damned Roman wine. Does it every time.
Beta II was a most reluctant king. With the passing of teh highly successful, and aggressive, Modo II, Beta II, who had bben burying himslef in a life of luxury, booze, and women, decide to become austere and give up two of the the three. So to hell with the luxury and women, I will stick to the wine - in this case Italien red,
Wit than a less than auspicious start to his reign - Beta II put a hold on all futher military and official actions until he had recovered his wits and felt well enough to govern the nation.

 Gotta leave you guys with a bit of a challenge.
Beta II, the Idiot King and the Slow Road to China
When Beta II finally got his act together, he decided that moderation was indeed the golden mean. He continued on a solid course of building, and many city improvements begun in Modo'd reign were completed. He also maintained a serious war footing, and with the military resources at hand he continued the war against China. It was reasonably succesful, but painfully slow compared to the lightning-quick successes of his predecessor, "Modo the Quick." His supporters argued that the terrain was more difficult, or that the moderate approach to both building and warfare was ill-advised.
Others argued that his tactics were not sound, and some that he fought an entire military campaign inebriated. Others figured he was simply still the idiot of his youth.
Nonetheless, he perservered in the slow war, and a population that became ever-increasingly weary with warfare. Several Chinese cities fell to the Carthaginian forces, including the new and brilliant Knight Army led by General Mago, a staunch supported of Beta's approach to the war.
The crowning glory in the campaign came with the fall of Beijing, the Chinese Capitol in 590ad. Soon after, Beta II died, quite prematurely, but most would say not unexpectedly. The control of the government was turned over earlier than expected to a young, but bright and eager Prince Merriweather McMeadows, next in succession, and currently serving in General Mago's army on the Chinese front.
So ends the controversial reign of Beta II. Often overlooked are the numerous city improvements, the continued progress on several wonder projects, including the much anticipated Leonardo's workshop, many new military units produced, tech research that included invention, gunpowder, and chemistry, an extensive campaign of terrain improvements, and of course, who can forget, the magnificent and adventurous voyage of CSS Intrepid as it sailed north and around the continent, mapping the Russian coast for further reference.
Perhaps Beta II's legacy is best summarized by his final words, spoken to General Mago on his deathbed, in a weak and scratchy voice...
"It's all good.........."
(Save to McMeadows - dated 600ad.)
