[Thoddy]

In the year 20 AD an dusty and unexperienced sandworm from somewhere
- nobody knows him -
arrives in the city of Hades Shrine to compete with hundred other aspirants for the throne of the small alien monarchy. After a short and bloody competition, the other aspirants were killed by the sandworm. Their death bodies disappears. What nobody knows: Following an old tradition of thousands of generations the sandworm had eaten the death bodies to get their strengths and skills. Henceforth he was designated as the Glorios Wise and Terrible Sandworm (GWaTS). "May my bloody dark reign last forever."
After that he puts his nose into the wind, looks at the seeds of specials and decide: There must be a desert to look for spice. A lone seetler starts digging near Hades shrine. After a couple of years tons of bones became visible. This sad event was followed by an scream of fear. But GWaTS said: Dig deeeeper. We have to build an Empire to stand the test of time. Bones must help. By means of martial law the alien nation became content for a long time .

Meanwhile:
Germans built GL in 60 after dark. Russians built the great Oracle about 240 ad. After completing granaries , production was switched to produce settlers and Jirakis for martial law .
A second trireme should transport settlers to their destination islands.
Another settler was sent out to discover deserted lands, but he failed. The GWaTS avoids to tip huts before a city was founded nearby. Research is heading towards Michelangelos Chapel. For this purpose Hades Shrine is accumulating shields.

Later GWaTS became his own seer and had a vision of thousands of suns bringing xaos and global warming to the Earth. In this situation an old wise woman whispers: This should be discussed. But she had to yield with the GWaTS well known arguments.

An famous historican nominates the alien civ as the hopeless one. So the alien nation gets some headache.

In the following year the GWaTS feels weaker by an overdose of poison and dies. The people decide to celebrate a new hero, may his reign last forever.

I have nothing more recent than 20AD, but I agree, from the history Thoddy started from 20AD and progressed from there - so I would hang out for a more recent save game Malignantx ...

Malignantx, I really don’t get it. I send you again the zipped saved file. It’s definitely 420ad. Please try again. Look if the Oracle has been build (it’s in Thoddy’s story). Scouse Gits, file send to you too. Please check I am becoming crazy. It’s 420ad, not 20ad !!!!

In the year of our Alien Lord Four Hundred and twenty AD, Malignant I was crowned king following the tradition began by GWaTS the previous monarch. Malignant destroyed all in the bloody competition and the people began to praise him and carried him off to be crowned immediately.

Since the great Oracle had already been built and his advisors kept bothering him of this fact, Malignant decided to began building the Great Wall instead until a better wonder had come along. Early in his reign there was already discontent, so production wassacrificed in order to please the citizens of Hades' Shrine.

In honor of Malignants reign the people founded a new city and named it Malignant. Then again a wonder was built by one of those bastard human civilizations so came the endless reminders by the advisors of that fact. Malignant was not having a very good reign, in the city of Belzebuth
Nest the citizens began to riot so again production was sacrificed and great alien entertainers were hired. Finally, in Hades' Shrine Michelangelo's Chapel began to be built to shut his advisors up.
More riots began, even in the city honoring him. The people really did not like him heh.

Malignant in nearing the end of his life became love struck by a beautiful alien being and so they married in 820 AD, the king founded a city in her honor and called it Lehcar. The two begot a son Malignant II. He was too young to take the reigns of the empire and so before the King died in 840 ad, he put his son in the hands of a trusted couple to make sure that his son would live to see the day that he too was crowned. Malignant I was a good king and the people celebrated his reign. Malignant left a note for his successor prophesying the coming of a great revolution by the people.

840 ad marked the turning point in the évolution of the Alien species. It was all dark, it was all mud and then came the light. The light was all brightness and all smartness and the light liked to be called by the strange (for an alien’s ear) name of juliusbrrrrrr. The light said all was to be peace and all was to be love among the aliens. The ennemy was not inside us but on another planet. We needed to love each other and to hate the others. No more war, no more martial law, no more kingdom, but a republic and as soon as possible a democracy. Trade and science shall be our friends. Please all love each other. That very oedo’s year of 840 ad, a revolution was called and the dismantling of military units gave Hades Shrine the strenght to rushbuild the Chapel of Love.
860 AD, we’re now a happy republic. 920 AD, we discover currency. No trade, so construction is next ! 980 ad, construction discovered and 1060 ad, trade. We shall build caravans to give one another. 1080 AD, Laurakala is founded. 1140 Lover’s Bed is founded in a new continent. 1160 Banking discovered. We now head for the long term goal of theology and the Love of God. 1180 Hidden Wonder is founded in the hope that special resources might be discovered around the city. 1220 New Hope is founded in another new continent. 1240 AD Warrior Code is discovered. 1st trade route is open ! 1300 AD Wheel discovered. 1360 AD Engeneering discovered. Golden Smile founded in a new continent. 1380 Philadelphiano founded. 1400 AD juliusbrrrrr founds the city of Light of Dawn and retires there. A new ruler should now lead the Aliens to the Path of Light. The reign was 7 turns longer than it should have been, but is was blessed with too much love for anyone to complain.

[Julius Brenzaida]

Game sent to Sandmonkey. We’re dead last on the powergraph. I think that Scouse Gits ought to take look at what happens on earth. Smash talks about bein surprised by an AI civ building 28 cities in a game. I got the feeling that by 2000 AD, it’s going to be 28 for the small civs in this one !
Sorry for playing too many turns. I think we should stick to 20 until Apollo is build.
