THE TALE OF THE YEARS 950 BC

We have many units exploring for huts and enemy cities, so I won’t mention those each turn…

1300 BC – Popped hut, 25G. Popped hut, Legion (Glorificus). Changed Enron production to Phalanx, rushed (13G).

1250 BC – Barb Horse appears and attacks Dominion and dies. Our Phalanx becomes Vet. Enron builds Phalanx, starts Barracks. Popped hut, 25G.

1200 BC – Popped hut, NONE Horse. Popped hut, Chariot (Glorificus). Popped hut, Chariot (Majestica). Popped hut (with Explorer), Barb Horse.

1150 BC – Barb Horse kills Explorer. Offer to trade knowledge with Japanese. They refuse and dismiss us. Try Greeks. They offer peace and I accept to maybe get better treatment. Offer to trade knowledge with Greeks, they refuse, too, but don’t dismiss us. I demand tribute, which is refused. Rush Pax Settler (50G) to avoid disorder (new citizen).

1100 BC – Americans start Hanging Gardens. Archer attacked by Greek Legion and is killed! Pax builds Settler. Popped hut, 50G.

1050 BC – Popped hut, 25G. Popped hut, CURRENCY! At least huts will give us tech sometimes…

1000 BC – Popped hut, Legion (Majestica). Popped hut, NONE Legion.

975 BC – Popped hut, LITERACY! Offer to trade knowledge with Japanese. They refuse again, so I demand tribute. They declare War!

950 BC – Japanese Settler appears next to Enron! Popped hut, REPUBLIC! Popped hut, Legion (Glorificus). Popped hut, CONSTRUCTION! Horse discovers Kyoto!

We are about to complete the Great Imperialis-Majestica Highway, which will vastly improve trade, troop and citizen movement, and begin to connect the Capital to the surrounding cities! ride:

Seemed like a good place to stop. Very frustrating session. Still no Polytheism discovery, and since we are 1st in approval, probably no one has Monarchy to trade to us anyway.

The game file has been emailed to the Ministers, may their polls and wisdom guide us in these difficult, despotic times!

We have not been able to find, research, or trade for either Polytheism or Monarchy yet. We are obviously facing a hostile conspiracy of silence and trickery. However, we certainly have rooms full of knowledge that will be useful to us once we do obtain the secret of "Monarchy", whatever that unknown but potent idea is.

We have explored much of the world. Surely, no other civilization can be doing half so well as we at *that*. We are also regarded with fear of our might military forces, and we are beginning to knit our far-flung cities into a system of roads for improved travel and trade.

The Japanese and the Greeks have both treacherously declared war on us at the mere (and fully justified) request for a few trinkets of tribute (err, "expenses") for our patience. They will pay far more than first requested for their arrogance someday!

We have met some wandering fighting units that agreed to join us in our quest to conquer this world. Those who have not already allied with a city of ours ("NONE" at all) are being sent to nearby cities for education and training. They will be defending the cities at no expense to us. One hardy band of settlers as agreed to travel to our heartland and assist with road-building. Our various exploring units often send shipments of gold back to the Imperiality.
