This is literally going to be an epic. At least to me. I dont think iv ever written as much as im going to write over the next few weeks.
This story I’m about to tell you I began formulating way back when I experienced Civilization for the first time. I was in 4th or 5th grade at the time and fell in love with the game. This story has been shaped and developed over the many years since then (Im 17, almost 18 now) but has continued the same basic idea. The story starts out similar to how the original Civilization did, with a spirit-like being coming to you after your tribe had discovered the secrets of irrigation, road-building, and mining and granting you immortality (if I remember correctly) and telling you to lead your civ through time. I will write the story over a period of many, many installments, and the story is so long in my head that I don’t know if I will ever finish, even if I decide to continue after the first few parts. I know Im going to at least get into some gorey battles and stuff though, cant write an epic tale of empire without cool battles. They *will* happen , hehehe, gore galore, I garuntee it. (ill be nice and tone it done for the squemish)
I request your feedback, be brutally honest, because if the story is not entertaining anyone than it is not worth my time to write . Just feel free to make any comment, suggestions, ideas, or queations. The story, after a lengthy sci-fi/fantasy opening and background story, follows the birth and growth of a small city-state (fictitious, as you will see) into a flourishing empire through the leadership of a great hero. I wish I could tell the story through more dialogue but it would take way to long, so it’ll pretty much just be narration.

P.S. The story will often revolve around a religion, which to my knowledge is completely, absolutely, one-hundred and ten % fictitious and in no way reflects my beliefs. Please, if it resembles your religion or any of your religious views being butchered or blatantly contradicted, please do not take offense, it is completely coincidental and it reflects in no way my beliefs or those of anybody I know (it gets pretty far-out - you'll see. just bear with me). Also note that good and evil are completely relative terms and so my inferred definitions of good and evil my not match yours entirely. You may think you’re the holiest person on earth and someone else the evilest, but that other person could very well believe the same thing (i.e. I think im good and Osama bin Laden is evil, Osama and his followers think he is the most pious man alive, and think me an evil infidel)
enjoy!
