This thread will be the locus for the stories.
About 10,000 years ago, the Alpine glaciers advanced northward over the Bavarian plateau toward the site of present-day Munich. These solid rivers of ice - some as thick as 6,000 feet in depth - carved out the relief of the Alpine valleys as we know them today. The lakes of the Bavarian plateau, including those of the Salzkammergut region, were also created by the receding glaciers during this time.
During the New Stone Age, the indigenous hunters encountered farming peoples from the more advanced southwest Asia, who were migrating up the Danube Valley into central Germany about 4,500 BC. These populations mixed and settled in villages to raise crops and breed livestock. The people of this Danubian culture lived with their animals in large, gabled wooden houses, made pottery, and traded with Mediterranean peoples for fine stone and flint axes and shells. As their hand-hoed fields wore out, they moved on, often returning years later. The Late Stone Age also saw the beginning of pile-dwellings on several lakes. These waterfront structures are believed to be early trading-posts.
The first two villages of the farmers of the Danube valley were VINDOBON (later Vienna) and AK INK (later Budapest). The residents of these villages were Asiatic: the ancestors of the modern-day Austrians as yet lived in the Caucasus region with all the ancestors of the Indo-Europeans, while the ancestors of the modern-day Hungarians (Magyars) had already taken up residence in central Asia, whence they would sweep as the Hun invasion. Nevertheless, these two small villages would form the foundation of the magnificent AUSTRIAN civilization to come.

Queen Boudicca reigns supreme after the establishment of 6 fine cities and a strong army of horsemen (along with the odd howie)
The Year 2100BC sees the citizens in an uprising to finally crown her as Queen Eternal. Brittania, with tri-remes, will soon explore the far reaches of this continent in search of.... Vadka, she believes it's called...
It is believed that something to do with alcohol and stale bread is far to the East;
whilst a handsome Prince is believed to be nearby.
There are other nations too, it is believed....

The Etruscans, for the benefit of historians in future eons, look forward, first, to discovering where they came from, and second, to finding out where they go when they finally go. Gee, will it settle some arguments in eons to come.

The Etruscans continue to wonder where they come from and, in addition, where they're going to disappear to in about 800 years.
That aside, they've developed a rather tasty dish of veal, sage, prosciutto, white wine and butter, which might, one day, be called Saltimbocca. They're also looking forward muchly to the development, in about 1000 years, in the central region of the land, of a crisp white wine called Vernaccia. Get your fingers out, lads, we're thirsty!

</font>However, the unruly Arabs attempted to settle areas outside that corridor and to intimidate the Danubians from settling the rest of that great river. So far the Danubians have not been intimidated - especially as their army is much larger than that of the interfering Arabs.

Lets get something straight, I agreed not to expand north if you didn't go any further south. I will settle all land south of ismir both east and west. I hope i don't have to remind you that i am at 80% taxes 20% luxeries and this will not change till i get navigation. If you want war, bring it on, your civ will fall so far behind it won't even be funny. Your dreaming if you think i am giving you the majority of the land.

Hey Markus Turkus, can you draw a map of your preferred border?
This border dispute will be of great interest, if not concern, to the rest of the European nations...

As Mazarin had layed the reinforcement necessary to secure the foundation of the divine right of kings, Louis XIV came to the throne weilding (arguably) absolute power over the state.
From his central government in Versailles, Louis has made great efforts to extend his domain south and east. The great Sun King of Glorious France looks greedily to the Iberian peninsular and its potential wealth. His northern neighbours, the British, have been very cooperative and the Sun King hopes to nurture relations with Queen Boudicia with the proposal of a free trade agreement.
The Sun King scorns the thought of trade with those who practice the misled economic theory of Mercantilism, but decides he will match the incoming tariffs of any civilization with which we trade.
King Louis XIV has extended his freindship
to every civilization he has encountered and seems to have charmed the Queen of the British of whom he ponders whether is worth giving up his mistresses.
Hmmmm.....nah it's too good to be the King!
Prospects are good.....much to be done.

Dream on, why on earth would i agree to give you all of greece and a good portion of russia? Also why would i give you 75% of all the rivers on the map and all the best land? I thought we agreed that i would let you have the balkans in exchange i get russia, but you tried to block me from russia.

We arranged no such thing; besides, "Wallachia" is not even in Russia (the south-central region of Romania is called Wallachia). (The part of my chatlog where we made our deal is unfortunately overwritten now - otherwise I'd post it.) In fact, I told you when we made the deal I would build on the rest of that river (the Danube). Now, if you want southern Russia, take it. I just want the Balkans. If you want to move settlers north of Wallachia to build, go ahead. To expand faster, you might want to use triremes to move up to the north coast of the Black Sea instead. Whatever. I just want the Balkans, as I thought we'd agreed!

Also at the first sign of attack i will gift the mono to italy so they can build mikes.

Great; I love the Italians. A wonder for them is like a wonder for me. Your building a large, undefended empire has solidified our relationship.

I would make up for it with the technologies plundered from conquered cities.
