[Zulu Elephant]

The reign of the Zulu Elephant dynasty started quietly. Roads were built and the seers saw no further visions of the demons from Earth.
The people, perhaps in response to this quiet time, became intrigued by tales of other lands beyond the seas. These tales, along with the council's fears of future overcrowding of the island, led to the ships anchored in Hades Shrine being given a new, younger captain. The next year, despite reservations by the council, he was given permission to venture into the deeper waters in search of these new lands.
That very same year, the frontiers of knowledge were pushed back by the culmination of years of research into literacy.
At the height of the nation's celebrations honoring the wisemen responsible for the newfound knowledge, news arrived from the Southern seas. The Captain, eager to outshine the wisemen with his own deeds pushed further south than anyone had ever traveled. The ship, caught in a storm, sunk with only one survivor making it back to mainland to tell the tale.
Zulu's reign continued with a mood of sadness in the air, broken up only by discoveries such as "Pottery", a new invention that some on the council feared would lead to an excess amount of food leading to an overcrowding of the island. There were many revolts in many towns, quelled only by the use of martial law and the hiring of entertainers from across the land.
However, as the reign drew to a close however, a new sense of optimism was felt by the people.
In the space of a few years, celebrations were held to mark the first time the island supported 300,000 citizens; Hades Shrine completed the project to rebuild its Trireme fleet after the South seas disaster and, most importantly, Belzebuth Nest completed its multi-generational project, "The Lighthouse", ushering in what many hoped would be and age of expansion into the legendary lands across the seas...

True, I think we need to switch to temporary all-settler production to colonize our planet. No ICS style founding of cities close to each other, though, that would increase the current potential at the expense of th future potential, but since we are isolated we should plan far ahead into the future.

LMP says to explore north, and Zulu explores south and loses the Trireme :P
Well, LMP just has to show Zulu how to run this civilization.
Me thinks all the rulers are immortals same with the seers/prophets
or maybe we are just gods to the aliens, running their civilization from a computer

I will finish doing my turns by tommorrow....should I skip Throd's turn and send to Julius?

I said even aliens have to sleep - I didn't say they have to die.

Yes, skip his turn. He has explicitly stated that's what we should do over the weekends.

Thoddy, your english is good, kein problem. And welcome to the team ! I don’t see no reason to pass you for a matter of 2 or 3 days. This is no game of speed. As I said at the beginning of the topic, what matters is just to avoid keeping everybody in the dark. A succession game veteran like Scouse Gits could tell you many tales of games stranded for quite some time.

Nice story Zulu Elephant. I’m sure you’ve sent the saved game to Lord LMP, but can I get a copy of it. Thanks ! Those poor Aliens seem to have a hard time growing and expanding …

No, if I read his message correctly, Thoddy can be operational on Monday. A single’s day waiting does not warrant skipping one turn.
Lord LMP, I suggest you send the game to Thoddy, with the usual copy for me.
Good luck : I hope no trireme will be lost in the north sea ! (the Lighthouse should help).

LMP started is reign by getting some people to invent coffee out of the fungi caffeinus grains discovered some decades back, and he then made sure all the populace drinks it. So no more sleepy heads. He then ordered the Triremi to Farichi while the city is establishing some defences and then make a new settler. The Triremi arrived to Farichi and LMP got the settler from Hade's Shrine to board it. He ordered the boat to move north, and naturally, the captain complained. Because of that, LMP personally came to Farichi and slap the captain silly for disobeying, telling him to go north!
So the Triremi did so and directly 3 squares away, the Trireme found land like LMP predicted. Everybody was awed by LMP, which is why probebly there wasn't any riots during the whole time of his reign. The Hade's Shrine settler landed on the newly found land. LMP told the settler to establish a city there, but it seems the settlers misunderstood and move north-east. LMP got annoyed and told the settler to move back to where they were and colonize!!! no more screws ups. The settlers establish the city of Yub Yub, named by LMP during the rest of LMP's reign, he made sure the cities on the island were connected by roads and got the settlers there to start irragating around Farichi. The seers had some visions aswell. The visions was about the success of their people and shown their destiny! the destiny is to grow strong and powerful, so they can eventually invade the Earth, getting rid of the Earthdevils. Temples and Granaries were built at different cities, and LMP got Hade's Shrine to start working on the Oracle. when his reign ended at the beginning of 20CE(hey, how could the aliens know of jesus? so Common Era is better ). The people loves Him
