Sorry this took a while, things have been busy...

The Celtic Empire 610 - 800

In AD 610, King Jonny III came to power. He rode into the city of Entremont towards the palace in the magnificent Royal Chariot. However, the chariot's wheel broke, and he had to walk the last 2 miles to the palace.

The first things he did were: institute a new policy of getting at least 2 defenders in each city as soon as possible, starts putting commerce towards science, and bought Germany's World Map for 26 gold, which revealed some islands to the north of Germany.

In 620, Jonny ordered the many horsemen units to be fortified on the Russian border.

In 630, Russia enters our territory, we ask them to leave.

In 640, they don't leave. We ask them again to leave, and they declares war. They apparently didn't see all the horsemen. Our horsemen during that turn captured 7 Russian workers, captured the city of Rostov, and burnt Riga to the ground.

In 650, King Jonny III builds the city of Jonnyopolis on the penninsula SW of Girls Only.

During 660 and 670 and 680, our horsemen prepare for an attack on the city of Yakutsk, and surround the city.

In 690, Yakutsk falls to our horsemen. We sign a peace treaty with Russia, gaining 5 gold, their world map, and the city of Sevastopol in the process. Also, the city of Deseret is built to the north of Agedincum.

In 700 and 710, not much happens. Horsemen are fortified in the newly captured cities and border cities, and the captured workers (and our old workers also) improve the terrain.

In 720, our scientists discover Currency. We enter the Middle Ages, and the scientists start work on Engineering.

In 730, a German archer/settler stack is seen near Yakutsk.

In 740, the city of Port Jonny is founded at the former site of Riga.

In 750, the German archer/settler stack heads away.

In 760, spearmen are rushed in the northern border cities in order to help defend our new cities.

770- nothing happened.

In 780 - the German archer/settler stack comes back.

In 790 nothing happens.

In 800, the Germans enter our territory. We ask them to leave. Sadly, King Jonny III dies when he gets run over by an elephant for no apparent reason.

Will the Germans declare war, or just leave our territory? Russia is weak - will they regain their power, or will they eventually crumble? Find out next time!

Hints for the next player:

We still have no iron. This means we can't build pikemen, knights, or medieval infantry. We need to get Gunpowder as soon as possible, so we can get some good defensive units.

[chairmanmeow]

Got it. I'll post it either today or tomorrow.

Here's what happened (I skipped a few turns toward the end, when I was really into the war and forgot to write about what was happening):

800 AD - Upon the death of Jonny III, Meow III becomes Chairman of the Celts.

810 AD - Meow III tries to ensure peace between the Celts and Germany by raising Germany's attitude of the Celts before asking his people to get the h*ll out, so he proposes a trade: the Celts give Currency to the Germans, and in return they give 5 gpt, 50 gold lump sum, and their world map. Bismarck decides to be a jackass and declare war anyway. So war it is... Meow III has learned the same lesson as Neville Chamberlain: Don't try to appease Germany. The archer/settler stack is easily destroyed, and the settler enslaved.

820 AD - Nothing much

830 AD - Russia is acting as a buffer zone in the war, since neither the Germans nor the Celts are able to pass through without causing Russia to declare war.

840 AD - Nothing much.

850 AD - War breaks out between the Celts and Russia when the Russians sink our Galley. The horsemen are cute, aren't they. Meow III feels so much like Meow II.

860 AD - A regular horseman unit wins a battle at Moscow and becomes Veteran.

870 AD - Novgorod is captured and burnt to the ground. In celebration, Meow III renames Yakutsk after his cat, calling it "Meow III Kitty City". Meow III cancels his vacation in TrickeyVille.

880 AD - The Horsemen in Russia have spotted Germans in Russian territory, possibly indicating an alliance between Germany and Russia.

890 AD - A peace treaty is signed with Germany.

900 AD - An irrigation line is begun, with Deseret as its goal. Meow III decides to change the national budget, increasing the science rate to 70%

910 AD - Engineering is completed and Feudalism is begun, with the goal of Gunpowder. Meow III finds out it's difficult to wage war when Winamp is playing "Where have all the flowers gone."

940 AD - Grozny gets it, just like Sevastopol, but the evil Russians capture Meow III Kitty City.

950 AD - The palace is expanded. Meow III would rather have had them expand his military...

970 AD - Meow III Kitty City is finally retaken from the Russians. After Kitty City goes back to Celt control, a peace treaty is signed. Meow III decides to resign as Chairman to enjoy his retirement in Girls Only. But apparently the girls in Girls Only don't like him being there, so they kill him.

[Mellian]

Girls only is my city, so you better stay out

970: Giovanni Wine III rise to power in the Celtic Kingdom, findging himslf at the lead of a strong and well developed nation.

1010: Our recents contacts with all those new people gave us a big Scientific boost, as we learned, Theology, Chivalry, Invention, Gunpowder and Education from all them in the Great Library... but unfortunatly after this a big fire destroyed most of the books of the GL, leaving this great building absolutly uneffective forever.
Theology is offered to both Russian and Germans, so that we can get some money from that, while Gunpowder is offered to Babylon in exchange of Gold and a Map, revealing a completely new and unknown world to us. A source of Saltpepper is discovered near Agendicum, but unfrtunatly it is outside our national boundary, and another one near Meow II’s Kitty City
