ICELAND, 400AD
Teams of the finest athletes produced by the empires of CoD and Monkey met today at the bi-millenial winter poo-throwing championships on the ice of Monkey's new home in the Deep South of Comedia.
As is usual, the Monkeys were entrusted with bringing the poo to the contest, as they have a long tradition of crafting the very highest grades of tournament-ready poo on the continent.
Monkey shot first, sheltering in their fortified position in the forest and defended by their mighty and fearless Numidian Mercenaries. As they had new poo, they were able to polish one side of it to allow one side to travel faster through the air and thus create 'swing'. This succeeded in fooling the defensive guard of numerous CoD Musketmen, eight battalions of whom 'got it in the eye'.
Next it was CoD's turn to bowl. Before returning the poo, however, a sample was hurried off to the labs of Izzardia to analyse what it is the Monkeys have been eating lately. "Any Civ who can research two techs in two turns with no economy has to be having something pretty special for breakfast" noted Professor Florence Labcoat of the Institute of Digestion in Izzardia. "We think they must be eating rare, imported Latino Flakes, but so far the lab tests have been inconclusive".
Back at the games, and the CoD bombadiers were preparing the poo for delivery. Although older poo does not shine as much as new poo and allow swing, it is a little crustier, so can inflict a bit more damage upon arrival.
Of the Gazzillion Numids defending the Monkey team, exactly 8 were hit, rounding off a very even first day's play. "We're pleased enough with the results so far", admitted Ranger Mack of the Monkey front line as he cleaned the poo from his armour, "but there's a long way to go yet".
The games continue.
