Ramessess II began his rule in the year 4000BCof the grand empire of Egypt that WOULD stand the test of time and be passed a long the royal Ramessess bloodline for the next 6000 years.
The great city of Thebes, the capital of this great civilization had settled down on a hill near abundant strategic resources and luxuries, and trained it's first group of warriors to survey the surrounding lands.
The year is 3800BC and Thebes has grown into a bustling capital that has discovered many neighbors - the location we have settled on seems to be very densly populated by many groups,we have discovered 4 city states and 3 civilizations- currently we meet our neighboring civilizations peacefully and offer them each 8 gold for nothing in return, and fend of barbarians from the city states in our area.
It is now 2500 BC and Thebes has discovered mining, trapping and the construction of wonders. The first Wonder of the world is in progress, the Great Pyramids. To speed the production Ramessess the great orders his workers to chop nearby forests for a quick supply of production to finish the worlds first wonder. The Ottomans are busy being warmongering menaces to everyone, declaring war on all they have met, except Ramessess and actually capturing a city state.
The year is now 800 BC and the great egyptian empire has had research agreements active with three civilizations for the past 1500 years, and in addition to keeping research agreements up and running we have constructed another 5 Wonders in addition to the Pyramids. We are protected by the great wall and gifted bonuses so great from Wonders such as Angkor Wat that the entire empire feels invisible, and manages to keep the Ottomans away from all other civilizations and city states by declaring war on them and making all the other civs declare peace.
The year is 100AD and the Ottomans continue to come to our great wall just to be decimated by our war chariots and crossbow men. For the past 200 years the Ottomans have attempted to make peace with the Egyptians but they do not offer fair trades for peace (I do want to say the deals these AIs offer are absolute garbage lol, 1600 gold silk, silver, fur, ivory, dyes, iron for 30 turns for a treaty - no thanks, I'll just keep killing your units and gaining xp!!) Aside from all the fighting me and the Ottomans do, other civilizations favor me as friendly because of my great diplomats and research agreements our scientists establish. Ramessess is slightly nervous though, he has noticed the Iroquois have stopped offering the research agreements and is now demanding gold with some SOB story, no worry though - Germany was happy to replace them for research agreements.
The year is 200AD and Ramessess has decided it is time to Settle a new city just to the SSW of Thebes, nestled in the mountains with tons of silver, incense, and an oasis to found the city. Nothing like protection from the mountains and resources to trade! The founding of the city is going excellent and Thebes has not had an Ottoman attack on their great wall for about 75 years.
280AD word spreads through the land that an unmet civilization has lost their capital to another unmet civilization. The land still has not been surveyed to much but from what is seen, there is not much coast line or ocean here which leads Ramessess to believe that he will need to begin preparing defenses for a potential war, He decides he will keep 2 crossbowmen and 1 war chariot garrisoned in each of the cities of this empire.
That is where I am in the game at the moment, if I get time I will update it haha.
I do want to say that this is on Prince difficulty, with a 12 player, 28 city-state map and a Pangea with low water level.
I have tried doing 6, 8 and 4 player maps but I just like it way more with all the cities on the map, makes the game alot harder and tricky when interacting with the AI's - one wrong move, you at least as a player will be hated by every one
.
So far though I am loving the game, and yes I post on other civ 5 forums because I am a nerd and have nothing to do while waiting at work.
