In the annals of history, the period from 200 AD to 500 AD will forever be remembered as "Pax Azteca".

The land was bountiful and the people prospered. Road were built, fields were irrigated, the land was at peace. No wars were fought for three centuries and the people were joyous. A great observatory, named after our leading scientist of the day, Copernicus, was built in Perfection City.

Our navy continued to explore strange lands and as a result, an advanced tribe was discovered. They begged sanctuary under our flag and it was granted. The empire moves on!

What will the future bring? Who can say? One thing is certain. We will be under capable leadership as Julius XXXVIII-XIX takes the throne. (Geneologists are still puzzling over the hyphen in his name.)

As for the number of moves, I thought the drop to 10 moves wasn't until around 1500 AD. As it was, my first 10 were so uneventful that another 5 didn't seem too unreasonable. I'd say, plan on 15 unless you really start to rock and roll, i.e., build a couple of wonders, wipe out an AI civ, and start building the spaceship.

For my computer, all is going well. Man, it feels good to format it all sometimes. I will play my 10 or 15 turns this week-end. See you in Alpha Centauri in 15 years !

Turns played. Up to 760 AD.
I have sent the game to Muab'Dib.
I don't like the geography of this one.
Carthaginians and Russians will be tough to beat.

[Julius Brenzaida]

500 AD after one of those illogical power struggle the Aztecs seems to well acquainted with, the Brenzaida family recaptures the kingdom. The first act of the new king is to declare that death should be the punishment of anybody who would call him “Julius Jr”. And he adds, that at the end of the 20th century, everybody will understand. The Brenzaida family has a long history of foretelling the future. But unfortunately, it lacks the power to change it.
15 cities, 980’000 citizen and 22 gold. The kingdom is healthy but not ready to compete for the Olympics. “We shall expand and stenghten ourselves at the same time”, says Julius.
520 AD. The first bold moves pays off. A bold Port-au-Prince’s trireme sails unto the unknown and does not sink because it immediately discovers a new continent. This whole vaste world shall soon be ours. Caravans begin to stockpile near perfection in wait for the next Wonder to be build.
560 AD. The population goes over 1 million people. A barbarian trireme threatens Tula and the legendary warrior of the ancients time, Robin the Archer is called to defend the city (there was no money to buy a more effective weapons, unbeliever pretended).
580 AD Barbarians debarks. 2 Legions and 1 diplo. Reed-blooded Robin destroys 1 legion and the diplomat (hem hem) in 1st attack and becomes veteran. He begins to be called Terminator because of the finesse of his art of war.
600 AD. Navigation is discovered. Aztecs scientists now head for Physics. As a wise diplomat, King Julius has noticed others have already banking and it shall be exchanged when needed, not researched. A massive ship building program begins. “We shall rules the sea, because whoever masters the sea, shall master the land, or something like that”.
620 AD. Robin the Young kills the 2nd Legion who had unfortunately the time to kill a brave but not well trained phalanx. Barbarian thread is eliminated.
700 AD. The exploration goes on. An elephant steps into a trap set by 8 horsemen in a hut. He kills one, but his chances of survival are slim. The whole nation holds its breath.
720 AD. The elephant is killed by the 1st attacker. Vast diplomatic offensive. Philosophy is acquired in an exchange with the Carthaginians; banking from the Russians. Other nations are already too fearful of the growing Aztec power and King Julius does not try to negociate with them. Diplomatic incident with the Americans who refuse to pay tribute and go back to war against us.
740 AD. 1st caravel produced in Tlacopan. King Julius decided to christen the ship himself and heads to the far away island.
760 AD. Physics is discovered. The next one shall be the beloved monotheism. Bad news spreads across the land. Other nations have begun Magellan, Sun Tzu and Shakespeare. The city of Bahia Blanca is founded in a very favorable site. The same year, a new advanced tribe is discovered in a distant continent : Surprisenda. Spririts are once again high in the kingdom. But that’s when destiny decided to struck. An American terrorist murdered king Julius as he was visiting the port of Tlacopan to avenge his justified treatment of the ugly American nation. The Aztecs weep the abrupt end of their beloved king and everywhere people began to demand : “Give us Magellan so that we shall sail to spread the American blood all across their homeland”. Pax Azteca was by then a long forgotten word.

Thanks. As I already told you, I'm better with words than with deeds. I'm not sure I did improved the kingdom too much. And Kcbob, your narratives are great too.

Has Muad'Dib received my mail and the attached file ?

While he hasn't been "in the barrel" as long in this game, I wonder if we might not want to forge ahead and let him jump back in later. With that in mind, I think Scouse Gits would be up on Julius' completed turn. Do you have that game, SG? And, BTW, in the other game in which Maud'Dib was bypassed, Julius is up next. (Heads up, Julius) Does this sound reasonable?

To me, it looks reasonnable. My holidays are starting right now ! I shall take a few days off in the mountains between the 26th and the 29th but otherwise, I'm fully ready to play civ until the 8th of January !
Maybe that I will even find time to finish my maxiworld map (143x229) !
