The Peaceful Zulus

[Civ 2.5]

The funniest thing about it is that he's playing civ... but writing like a black guy... so it means you know he's white. lmao

[Charlemagne97]

good one. i'm going to do a civ story soon. gotta think of a base. it won't have screenies though cuz i can't make them

[Metaliturtle]

Wow, I forgot about this one!

Zulufest Destiny!

From the year 0 and beyond:

190 AD- The Zulu have learned education. Now they can finally teach people how to teach people how to teach people.

280 AD- The educated people of Zululand found a city in the name of one of their most hated of cultural icons, "JarJar Stinks."

295 AD- The Zululand Wheat Colony renames itself Wheating and is established on the eastern point of the continent.

385 AD- Land in sight!

460 AD- And the sneaky *itches are:


The freaky deeky Dutch! We scam all kinds of knowledge from them on the cheap though.

475 AD- Pirates!

Our lovely world has just grown smaller:
We have DutchChina to the west...


And Capn' Jack Sparrow with the Sumerians to the east.

1000 BC - 115 AD

Our Resources at 20 BC


The rundown is pretty short:
Since 1000 BC

In 470 BC the mighty Zulus have learned the joys of Civil Service to the empire.

In 455 BC travellers bring word that something called stonehenge has been built.

In 380 BC the belief in other lands causes many Zulu Citizens to build homes on the northernmost point of the continent, they call the city, "The pointe."

In 290 BC the wise Zulu turned wood into paper and used it to spread knowledge at a much more rapid rate.

Finally, our military picture. We have not needed more than clubs and hatchets to protect ourselves from the common rabble as you can see here:

[Metaliturtle]

Found the Autosave at 20AD! I will be attempting a Space Race with no offensive wars for the victory. Screenie with resources coming up soon as well.

[Metaliturtle]

I'll check my autosaves and get the resources up if I can play this one some more. Thanks for the attention!

[Metaliturtle]

Shaka: This is the boringest game ever!

1800 BC: Shinies, encouraged by the polytheist church, replace the barter system! Currency comes to the zulu.

1525 BC: Counting Shinies has become a rather profitable occupation

1175 BC: We learn that the world is round and we comprise roughly 1/4 of it's surface. 45 time!

1125 BC: We build the oracle and some priestly lady teaches us about laws. This confuses some, founding a new religion, confusanizm in FortyFive!

1050 BC: We turn our shinies into axes for the first time, now we can use trees!

1025 BC: The people revolt in order to enslave themselves! The whip fuels increased production!



Ok, I'm starting to tire of this... maybe I'll meet someone soon.

[Seedle]

Very nice, but please do us a favor. Turn on show resources for your screen shots, makes it much easier to see what you are working with. And as for closing the window, don't you have auto-saves?

[DarkCloud]

Zulus believe in Polythor, patron god of Apolyton, and key in the practice of Polytheism

:hmm:

[Metaliturtle]

the in game history is what I used, the game takes the notes for you. (icon that looks like a book in the top left corner)

[Marcusem78]

Hmm... about to start a new one tonight... Earth2 setup... I rarely take the time to take notes, tho... I just zone in and plod on into the game.

[Metaliturtle]

Thanks Marcusem!

Unfortunately I accidentally closed the window without saving this game first, so the story is done I'm afraid...

I'll do another one soon though. In the meantime, it would be cool to see you try your hand at a CIV story, I would happily read and comment!

[Marcusem78]

I'll go on record and say... I like it.

[Metaliturtle]

3000 BC - 2000 BC

Here's what's been happening.

2950 BC: Polytheism has made it to Fish Taco.

2900 BC: Independent herb growers on the fringes of the nation begin growing their herbs (called pot) indoors. They utilize earthen jugs which become commonly called "pottery."

2375 BC: Writing changes from cool pictures to cool symbols that represent sounds that can be turned into words that mean what the picture did.

Shaka: Alphabet is a challenge, we better get working on a song...

2225 BC: The Zulu name their newest city after their continent. FortyFive is founded!

The world in 2000 BC:


Shaka: I'm a horrible leader, what can I do to expand my empire?

Mrs. Shaka: Someone catch a little penis envy at the naked dance off last night?
