The History Of Apolytonia

[History Guy]

OK, here's the deal. I ask that the Moderator make this thread a permanent sticky, as from now on, this is where the history will go. As Tassadar has, sadly, dropped away, I will be lone historian for the next month or so. I shall start work on the project once I am given a timeline of Apolytonian events from 4000 BC onward, as since there has been no work done by our previous historian, I intend to take on the whole of Apolytonian history from 4000 to this very date. I ask that the President provide me, via PM, with a timeline. I'd also appreciate a screenshot of the battle of Washington, if possible. Once work starts, this post will be replaced with the text, so don't worry about this bit. Thanks. Signed, The Historian of Apolytonia!

Great work, Mr. Spiffor!
And for your project, History Guy.
Thinking loud:
What about the saves? Could we have a place to archive the game files, at least the most remarkable ones (end of turnchats or even a entire battle, like the recent war)?

[History Guy]

Thanks Spiffor, it is appreciated. I can now get to work with a historic basis for the text.
