CHAPTER I
1450 A.D.-1476 A.D.
------------
When Kristopher Kumbus returned from his search for Cathay he reported of a strange and new land which he named Kumberland, however due to popular hate of that name it was renamed for a philosopher and thinker- Americus Vespuchi I.
The Celts heeded his words and began to ready an expansion force of ships, keeping his discovery a secret from the other three European Nations, however, through spying the Spanish heard of this discovery and set upon dispaching three settlers and a vanguard of musketeers to defend their lands.
Upon arriving in America they quickly founded Mexico City and Veracruz, the third settler began to settle the lands around Mexico City.
After producing two musketeers in both cities, they created settlers who set out along the coastline. While setting out on the coastline they encountered a strange city owned by the Natives, who greeted the Spanish with suspicion.
Lord Palmaeir (1433-1509), head of the catapult division of the Spanish Expeditionary Force (SEF), hearing of the strange inhabitants of this new lands, set off to destroy the hostile Natives, and within two turns the Native city was captured and renamed New Madrid.
The next year in, 1469 Lord Palmaeir was put in charge of a force of 3 chariots and 2 catapults to explore the Eastern part of the new land as a reward for his conquest. He accepted and headed east where in 1473 he encountered another Native village, which he burned and destroyed. This delay allowed a force of 2 settlers to catch up to him and join his army. One settler stopped along a stream and founded a new city entitled Palmaeria in honor of the Lord Palmaeir. The other settler, followed Palmaeir’s expedition force further east until he decided to stop his travels and turn around, leaving a small force of two chariots behind to guard the settler who founded a city entitled Zargoza.
In other parts of the world, exploration was not going off so easy. The Celts had encountered funding difficulties and could not finance their exploratory efforts for at least 100 more years because of a revolt involving Despot Bodecrea’s attempts to resist the new ‘Monarchy’ that their greatest Philosopher Pluto (1412-1517) had been proposing. The English did not have enough of a fleet to explore the new world for 5 more years but were building up their settler population to do so. Finally, the French were getting off to a great start with New Paris’, Avignon, Lyons, and Port Quebec founded already.
In 1470, communication was lost between the factions after a torrential storm and volcanic explosion caused the colonizing continent to drift apart into four corners on the separate sides of America where each had been exploring. Now all 4 countries sat on one of the four corners of the world.
Chapter II.
1477 A.D.-1500 A.D.
------------
In Zaragoza, Lord Palameir rested his army for a year, however before disembarking for New Spain, as they called their part of the world. So, In 1477, the Lord and his men headed back to New Spain, only to encounter an English chariot force headed by Sir Robert Lang I (1441-1539). After meeting, Palameir headed back with Lang to discuss diplomatic intentions between the Spaniards and the English.
Back in New Spain, plans were being made to move the capitol to Mexico City as the Colonies became increasingly self-sufficient, destroying two more Native cities and irrigating the entire coast. By now the colonies consisted of seven cities, the largest being Mexico City with a size of 4.
Word had reached Mexico City about the founding of Zaragoza by now but they did not know of the English’s existence yet, however. So, searching for other Europeans, forces under the command of Lord Gino Patrelli (1450-1501) set out in the year 1479 to search for Europeans north of New Spain. He led a force of 4 horsemen, 6 catapults, and 1 volunteer chariot from a small friendly native village.
In 1485 he encountered the Sioux, far north of the farthest Spanish settlements. They got off to a friendly beginning, signing a peace pact, and Gino asked for passage through their lands, which they granted freely, so he set off further north, where he encountered no signs of life.
In 1492 settlers headed up towards the north to join Gino and found four cities Ginoppolus, Franciscoton, and two lesser known cities.
In the east at this time, the English, growing anxious about the number of Spanish cities in their vicinity (now 4), declared war in 1496, taking 3 of the cities quickly, however, Palameir held out in the walled city of Zaragoza patiently waiting for reinforcements from Palamaeria.
Elsewhere in the world the Celts built up their fleet and the French expanded viciously into the new territory, now having 10 cities along the coast, all linked with “Les Grande Roade”- “The Grand Road.” The Sioux Council was meeting to decide what to do with these “Spaniards” but decided not to declare war, despite pleas from their Native brothers who were losing 1 city per 15 years to the Spanish. The main reason for this hesitation was the warlike Zulu were pressing on the Sioux’ borders. The Sioux knew there would be war against the Zulu soon, so they did not want two wars at the same time.
CHAPTER III
1500-1600
In 1509, Zaragoza fell, despite the valiant efforts of Lord Palamier and his army of three musketeers, two catapults and one chariot. The English then sat on their holdings and asked for a cease-fire. King Francisco of the Spanish begrudgingly agreed and then signed a peace agreement. He was almost ousted for this declaration, but due to falling gold reserves, he could no longer afford war. His trade advisor advised him to put a halt to all wars and instead discover trade so he could build trade caravans, which he wisely did. However, the war with the Natives never quite ended during that time.
So over the years the Spaniards expanded their holdings tenfold, building 10 more cities in the harsh land. And, having been the first to discover Cannons, they built them in all ten cities, readying for another war with the English.
In 1555, on the anniversary of Mexico City’s founding, the Capitol was moved there. For the next year a huge celebration was celebrated for Mexico City, the one and only great Mexico City!
However, war clouds loomed as Sioux warriors suddenly attacked a caravan and its escort of one musketeer unit. Both were destroyed and war was declared. The Sioux were beaten back by a force of five Holy Crusaders and ten Valiant Cannons to their lands. Within 20 years 4 cities were taken and the Sioux begged for peace, which they received.
In 1588 the first Celt landed and introduced himself as Governor Lars Gohselm (1529-1615) of the Celtic Province of America. He founded one city and soon found himself surrounded by his ‘Allies’ troops, this made him uneasy.
Elsewhere the French and the Zulu allied and signed a non-agression pact. As did the Sioux and Natives who signed a Vendetta against the Spanish. This vendetta angered the citizens so much that they begged for the annihilation of the Sioux. King Francisco, bowing to the pressure of the mob, declared war, which proved to be a horrible miscalculation as the Sioux destroyed two cities before being beaten back to their five remaining strongholds, peace was declared, but 10 years later in 1612, war broke out again, started by an ambitious Spanish Lord of the city of Rhys.
CHAPTER IV
1600-1700
So after getting the facts straightened out and after a gift of 100 gold to the Sioux, the war finished in 1614. It left 4 Spanish cannons and 15 Sioux warriors and phalanxes destroyed.
1617:In the Southern part of New Spain the Natives raided Palamaeria and took it. The Spanish would not stand for such an atrocity so they suited up ten dragoons and one cannon to take the railroad to Palamaeria and reclaim it. Yes, Palamaeria was reclaimed, but instead of the glorious city of 8, it was now a dumpy town of 3.
The brave warriors did not rest however after reconquering Palamaeria, for a town north of it had been taken over by Barbarians. The town held out for seven years but when it was finally taken it was named Lisbon in honor of the young general who had captured it- Jakob Lisbon (1597-1689).
In the year 1629, returning from the conquest of Lisbon, Jakob met with the first English force seen by Spaniards in years. The force was a unit of Crusaders, a primitive force compared to Lisbons two remaining dragoons.
The English crusaders were easily dispatched and Lisbon ordered one man from his regiment to go to Mexico City to report that a scouting party of English had arrived on Spanish lands and it may signal an invasion force was to come.
Within months Lisbon was joined by 20 dragoons and 10 cannons commanded by the General Luis Armstrong (1578-1631), a veteran of the Sioux wars of 1602,1612, and 1614. They split their forces and proceeded to travel far inland to the heart of the English Colonies.
However, to their surprise, instead of finding the English, they encountered legions of Native troops. They were easily dispatched, but their sheer volume overwhelmed many of the units. Armstrong decided to lead a desperate charge on the town of New Natives but was cut down by a lone native musketeer unit. This disheartened the troops, but Lisbon helped them recover Armstrong’s body and beat a hasty retreat. When they recovered at Palamaeria it was shown that Armstrong would not live out the year. Both of his kidneys had been punctured and despite the best possible medical care he died after 8 months in the year 1631.
In the North the Sioux raided two towns only to be beaten back, but their allies the Celts now declared war against the Spanish, who tried to make peace with their former allies the Celts. Eventually that was accomplished, but the Sioux were getting bold, they razed the little town of Lumbago and attacked Bull Run, which had been their town before it was captured.
The Spanish retaliated quickly with the railroad moving their forces at lightning quick speeds. So within days of the dawning of the year 1631 General Lisbon arrived with the command of 15 dragoons, 5 cannons and 2 musketeers who had been acting as guards on the rail line who joined him on the way.
He smashed Little Bear and two other towns before arriving at the capitol, Sioux City, which was a walled monstrosity of the size of 10. It contained, among other things “The Oracle” and “The Colossus” behind its walls. “This would be a victory to live in history forever”, Lisbon thought. “After this victory, perhaps, the King will grant me the immortal life pills which he has been mysteriously receiving. He may even make me his chosen successor as King!” So, with great vigor Lisbon attacked the walls of the city, losing many great men in the process; but the war would not end!
In 1639, after 5 years at the gates of Sioux City, Lisbon and his now ragged army was recalled to the Capitol for garrison duty. There, he was met by King Francisco who greeted him. Francisco told him that he was his chosen successor, being the greatest General in the army, if only he could defeat the Sioux completely. After the meeting, Lisbon was given a life-pill for his troubles.
So in 1639 after the meeting, he rode out of Mexico City with a new vigor, taking in the air around him, admiring the 78 cities the Spanish called their own. Then he headed north on the rail. Lisbon and his force encountered Sitting Bull in Gold Eagles in 1643, in what would be called the Battle of the Century. The war lasted for 20 years, neither side ever gained an advantage until Sitting Bull was forced to leave Gold Eagles and the Spanish and Zulu had collaborated and attacked Sioux City and destroyed it like an hammer hitting an acorn. Sitting Bull retreated to the hidden city of Hidden Gold, lodged in the middle of the Patrelli Desert.
He was not found for 30 more years when a young lieutenant named Gorges Braum (1655-1730) encountered the city and took it with his single unit of dragoons.
In the year 1689, hearing this distressing news and knowing that he would never now be King, for he had not conquered Sioux City or captured Sitting Bull, Jakob Lisbon committed suicide. The King was shocked, this was not what he had wanted for his protégé, he would have been glad to make him King despite those failures, for Lisbon had patrolled and combed the desert during those thirty years searching for Sitting Bull and during those years had annihilated many of Sitting Bulls dragoons and musketeers. But, alas, the entire country was thrown into mourning for five years by order of the King. All celebrations were canceled. It was during this time that four attempts were made on the King’s life by Celtic spies. It was also during this time that the Celts stole the Industrialization technology which caused the Spaniards to declare war in 1695. The force to invade the Celts main port of Portdown was led by Gorges Braum, the now general who had discovered and killed Sitting Bull in 1689.
Now the Spanish met the Zulu’s. “Warlike creatures aren’t they?” Quoted Lord Franz Lloyd I (1640-1715) after meeting the ambassador who threatened to destroy New Spain unless they paid 200 gold. Naturally, the proud Spaniards declined to pay and declared war. However, since the Zulus were allied with the French and Celts the Spanish were fighting a war against five enemies.
Lord Palmardon (1650-1696) led an expedition force into the heart of the Zulu empire never to return and 2 years later in 1698 the Spanish saw why. The Zulu’s had Artillery. Now of course the Spanish had been developing artillery but they only had 10 units, the Zulu’s had at least 20. Every turn they assaulted the border cities with barrages, but the musketeers and alpine troops held off the bloodthirsty Zulu’s.
Braum finished his conquest of all but two Celtish cities, Kells and Carlais on the mainland and took to ships to attack the capitol. However this was a fatal miscalculation as all but one battleship and one submarine out of the 5 ships which had been sent out returned. 7 Dragoons and 2 Alpine troops were also
lost that day.
Meanwhile, the English, French and Natives were becoming worried as General Dinn (1670-1801) led a strong force of 5 artillery and 3 dragoons against the fringe Native cities which defended themselves competently, yet, in the course of the battle, they lost two cities.
CHAPTER V
1700-2000
“Air is where we must branch out to!” was a popular quote when Jakob Hessing (1660-1721)
attempted to design an aeroplane. By the time of his death he had invented a new aeroplane which he nicknamed the Hessing Flyer. This would be but the first step to a usable jet fighter for the Spanish. The first jet fighter was put into action January 1,1779 many years after the invention but in just in time to save the Spanish from the United Zulu Front (UZF) as they were calling their enemies.
The war between the UZF and the Spaniards continued for 100 more years without much differing until the invention of the Aeroplane. When the aeroplane was put into service for the Spanish they began to raid two Zulu cities and within 21 years they had conquered one Zulu city at the expense of 10 aircraft, 10 artillery and 5 alpine troops.
The Natives were making periodic raids on their former cities but to no avail, the Spanish held them off easily, however the Spanish could not advance for their progress was bogged down because they did not have enough troops to combat the English, Zulu and Natives at the same time, for some English troops had seeped through Native lines and founded cities in Spanish territory. These cities were not discovered until 1789 when a lost explorer discovered the city of Liverpool and was killed.
The wars just continued like this until another breakthrough happened. In 1801 the Armor was discovered and Jeahn Patton (1750-1869) of the French traded his knowledge of the armor to the Zulu who used it to overwhelm the city of Corinth (10) and move inland.
However by 1804 the Spanish contered the attack with their own armors and retook Corinth (5) and assaulted Capernum (5) and captured it. But the victory was a shallow one because in 1817 Zulu fighter planes retook Capernum (3) and executed all Spanish and Spanish collaborators within.
Thus stood the world until the Zulu with their combined forces quickly destroyed and conquered 7 Spanish cities on the coast in the year 1938. The Natives then lost 2 more cities to the Spanish who had made peace with them and then betrayed them.
In 1957 however, the advent of NULEAR MISSILES happened. With the Spanish being the only civilization which could make use of them due to their technological lead they nuked Upundi, Napundi, Zimbabwe 2, New Zimbabwe, Zimbucktu and other cities and conquered all of them, however the Zulu still had many armors led by their commander Ulric VanHausen (1902-1995). Thus the Spanish could not prevail against the Zulus having used all of their nuclear missiles; then due to a treaty they could not attack the Zulu because of fear of reprise from the other nations who by now were quite hostile to the two-faced nation called New Spain…

Chapter II.
1477 A.D.-1500 A.D.
------------
In Zaragoza, Lord Palameir rested his army for a year, however before disembarking for New Spain, as they called their part of the world. So, In 1477, the Lord and his men headed back to New Spain, only to encounter an English chariot force headed by Sir Robert Lang I (1441-1539). After meeting, Palameir headed back with Lang to discuss diplomatic intentions between the Spaniards and the English.
Back in New Spain, plans were being made to move the capitol to Mexico City as the Colonies became increasingly self-sufficient, destroying two more Native cities and irrigating the entire coast. By now the colonies consisted of seven cities, the largest being Mexico City with a size of 4.
Word had reached Mexico City about the founding of Zaragoza by now but they did not know of the English’s existence yet, however. So, searching for other Europeans, forces under the command of Lord Gino Patrelli (1450-1501) set out in the year 1479 to search for Europeans north of New Spain. He led a force of 4 horsemen, 6 catapults, and 1 volunteer chariot from a small friendly native village.
In 1485 he encountered the Sioux, far north of the farthest Spanish settlements. They got off to a friendly beginning, signing a peace pact, and Gino asked for passage through their lands, which they granted freely, so he set off further north, where he encountered no signs of life.
In 1492 settlers headed up towards the north to join Gino and found four cities Ginoppolus, Franciscoton, and two lesser known cities.
In the east at this time, the English, growing anxious about the number of Spanish cities in their vicinity (now 4), declared war in 1496, taking 3 of the cities quickly, however, Palameir held out in the walled city of Zaragoza patiently waiting for reinforcements from Palamaeria.

So in 1639 after the meeting, he rode out of Mexico City with a new vigor, taking in the air around him, admiring the 78 cities the Spanish called their own. Then he headed north on the rail. Lisbon and his force encountered Sitting Bull in Gold Eagles in 1643, in what would be called the Battle of the Century. The war lasted for 20 years, neither side ever gained an advantage until Sitting Bull was forced to leave Gold Eagles and the Spanish and Zulu had collaborated and attacked Sioux City and destroyed it like an hammer hitting an acorn. Sitting Bull retreated to the hidden city of Hidden Gold, lodged in the middle of the Patrelli Desert.
He was not found for 30 more years when a young lieutenant named Gorges Braum (1655-1730) encountered the city and took it with his single unit of dragoons.
In the year 1689, hearing this distressing news and knowing that he would never now be King, for he had not conquered Sioux City or captured Sitting Bull, Jakob Lisbon committed suicide. The King was shocked, this was not what he had wanted for his protégé, he would have been glad to make him King despite those failures, for Lisbon had patrolled and combed the desert during those thirty years searching for Sitting Bull and during those years had annihilated many of Sitting Bulls dragoons and musketeers. But, alas, the entire country was thrown into mourning for five years by order of the King. All celebrations were canceled. It was during this time that four attempts were made on the King’s life by Celtic spies. It was also during this time that the Celts stole the Industrialization technology which caused the Spaniards to declare war in 1695. The force to invade the Celts main port of Portdown was led by Gorges Braum, the now general who had discovered and killed Sitting Bull in 1689.
Now the Spanish met the Zulu’s. “Warlike creatures aren’t they?” Quoted Lord Franz Lloyd I (1640-1715) after meeting the ambassador who threatened to destroy New Spain unless they paid 200 gold. Naturally, the proud Spaniards declined to pay and declared war. However, since the Zulus were allied with the French and Celts the Spanish were fighting a war against five enemies.
Lord Palmardon (1650-1696) led an expedition force into the heart of the Zulu empire never to return and 2 years later in 1698 the Spanish saw why. The Zulu’s had Artillery. Now of course the Spanish had been developing artillery but they only had 10 units, the Zulu’s had at least 20. Every turn they assaulted the border cities with barrages, but the musketeers and alpine troops held off the bloodthirsty Zulu’s.
Braum finished his conquest of all but two Celtish cities, Kells and Carlais on the mainland and took to ships to attack the capitol. However this was a fatal miscalculation as all but one battleship and one submarine out of the 5 ships which had been sent out returned. 7 Dragoons and 2 Alpine troops were also
lost that day.
Meanwhile, the English, French and Natives were becoming worried as General Dinn (1670-1801) led a strong force of 5 artillery and 3 dragoons against the fringe Native cities which defended themselves competently, yet, in the course of the battle, they lost two cities.
CHAPTER V
1700-2000
“Air is where we must branch out to!” was a popular quote when Jakob Hessing (1660-1721)
attempted to design an aeroplane. By the time of his death he had invented a new aeroplane which he nicknamed the Hessing Flyer. This would be but the first step to a usable jet fighter for the Spanish. The first jet fighter was put into action January 1,1779 many years after the invention but in just in time to save the Spanish from the United Zulu Front (UZF) as they were calling their enemies.
The war between the UZF and the Spaniards continued for 100 more years without much differing until the invention of the Aeroplane. When the aeroplane was put into service for the Spanish they began to raid two Zulu cities and within 21 years they had conquered one Zulu city at the expense of 10 aircraft, 10 artillery and 5 alpine troops.
The Natives were making periodic raids on their former cities but to no avail, the Spanish held them off easily, however the Spanish could not advance for their progress was bogged down because they did not have enough troops to combat the English, Zulu and Natives at the same time, for some English troops had seeped through Native lines and founded cities in Spanish territory. These cities were not discovered until 1789 when a lost explorer discovered the city of Liverpool and was killed.
The wars just continued like this until another breakthrough happened. In 1801 the Armor was discovered and Jeahn Patton (1750-1869) of the French traded his knowledge of the armor to the Zulu who used it to overwhelm the city of Corinth (10) and move inland.
However by 1804 the Spanish contered the attack with their own armors and retook Corinth (5) and assaulted Capernum (5) and captured it. But the victory was a shallow one because in 1817 Zulu fighter planes retook Capernum (3) and executed all Spanish and Spanish collaborators within.
Thus stood the world until the Zulu with their combined forces quickly destroyed and conquered 7 Spanish cities on the coast in the year 1938. The Natives then lost 2 more cities to the Spanish who had made peace with them and then betrayed them.
In 1957 however, the advent of NULEAR MISSILES happened. With the Spanish being the only civilization which could make use of them due to their technological lead they nuked Upundi, Napundi, Zimbabwe 2, New Zimbabwe, Zimbucktu and other cities and conquered all of them, however the Zulu still had many armors led by their commander Ulric VanHausen (1902-1995). Thus the Spanish could not prevail against the Zulus having used all of their nuclear missiles; then due to a treaty they could not attack the Zulu because of fear of reprise from the other nations who by now were quite hostile to the two-faced nation called New Spain…
