Making Emporer easy.

Without the thumbnails, this thread would take 3 weeks to load!~

So it's better to take a few seconds each pic.

Plumbum is an awesome word

So to continue...


On my drive to higher learning, I poke around a little bit, and a rather backwards nation has something of value. Obviosly I cant pass up this chance.



So after education for the masses is figured out, I take a peek. Korea has beat me to it! Oh now I'm worried...



But I continue on my quest, I figure a steady pace would be better than an all out all or nothing roll of the dice. I keep production up, and a steady monetary loss wich should even out by the time I get there.

After sending my ships back to the funny hat continent, I meet someone with the funniest hat of them all.



She however proves to be worth nothing to me, nothing to trade.

Zara, everyones favorite, comes at me with an offer, he swears I cant refuse. But alas, I do.



After meeting the Egyptians with her off-the-hook hat choice. I run into the periah of the land. Just to show his malcontent, He chooses no adornment.



As liberty nears. Korea aparently hasn't been pursuing it (as quickly as I) so I go for a no holds barred mad dash to quicken the pace, and finish this year.



It pays off, and my people tell me. "If you wish to invade distant lands, build bigger boats."



Of course jealosy runs deep. Those Koreans, that I had feared might beat me to it. Make rather unsounded demands.



Of course I refuse. How can he invade without this knowledge?

Mansa, a much more civil man, offers me real trades. I have to accept. That kind of friendship is hard to find.



However, the Wang appears to be in none the sour mood, and is willing to make othe deals.



Shortly after, I run into the funniest hat of them all. Actually, this hat is quite impressive. I might require my own royal court to imitate it.



So, to show progress, I think it's a good time to share the secrets of greatness with the readers. Here is a look at each of my 'capitals'.







Bizmark proves that he is not to be trifled with on anything beyond the military front. To this dat, I have not built a single great wonder. All my 'industrialist' trait has given me upto now is cheap forges. Soon that will all change.



Just to prove, That in the waters, I have nothing to fear. I combine the power of the Boomstick, with the ability to build Bigger Boats. And we leave you with the new wonder of the modern age.



Surely. The world must tremble now. Perhaps I should sail them about and show off. I have a better idea. I think Ill build some smaller ones, and just "accidentally" forget to put my flag on them...

Sorry no update yet... Didn't play last night, crappy day at work made me want to drink instead...

Ok I was going to update, as The action got hot and heavy real fast tonight, However, I have exceded my current hosted SS file limit on this thread already!

So I'll let everone get caught up and finish the game with a second round of the AAR later. Unless of course, a mod would like to grant me a temporary folder host increase...

When I do update within the next couple days, I'll include earlier screenies in a zip file perhaps. Until then, sorry for the delay, Im just gonna go play!~
