Thanks for the kind words about Zulu Rules - it was fun to write and got me out of another writer's block for something else I am writing - Thanks to whomever voted for my story,too.
Civman, I am not a relative nobody. I am a irrelevant somebody!
I have an idea for a new story but then after trying to create a game that would fit the story, it didn't work. Zulu Rules was based on a random type game and then I wrote the story. I'm not sure which is the best model - think up an idea and then play a game or play a game and let the Muse go with the flow.
I am reading a book right now that Civ story writers might dig - it's called "Stonehenge: 2000 B.C." by (I believe) Bernard Cornwell. Anyway, its an author's imagining based on both what we know about Stoneheng and his own ideas, how Stonehenge was built. The story follows three brothers - one is the warrior, the other the priest/sorceror and the other is the trader/builder.
The warrior (the old brother, figures) is an a-hole, the priest is delusional and supersmart at the same time and the trader/builder is the hapless hero.
Anyway, cool sh*t! See ya.
