[Mathemagician]

File downloaded. Will play until the beginning of 3000 BC.

[Mathemagician]

First action as new heir to the throne: increasing people's workdays from 10 to 12 hours. This will finish the settler unit in 4 instead of 5 turns.

[Mathemagician]

Soon after, ancient ruins were looted for a yummy yummy treasure.

[Mathemagician]

Further turns see Kiev being founded as our second beautiful city. Citizens hope to exploit a local diamond deposit in the future to power our economy.
Also, more warriors are trained in order to explore the lay of the land. Another ocean is discovered to the north-west. Soon, people start calling it the "Counterbalance Ocean".

[Mathemagician]

As expexted, the "3" for the turn number for the second warrior's build time jumped to a "1" after 1 turn, due to the new city's capability to support troops not being regarded by the program right away.

[Mathemagician]

Unlike expected, however, the first warrior already had rounding errors in its build time and so it needed 1 more production unit (3 gold) to be finished instead of being finished this turn.
As a result, both warriors were rush bought and PWs were maxed for 1 turn, netting us some 90 or so PW.

[Mathemagician]

Recently, our wise men determined that it would be the best for the people if the Gods were given absolute power over the country. They are to be represented by the newly formed priest caste. This caste will be lead by the Emperor, who is in fact a descendant of the Gods, as the wise men point out in their new capacity as priests, assigned to them by his Godliness, the Emperor. The latter then orders his now unveiled divinity to be taught to the people, so that they may find enlightenment in this knowledge.

The new system will be called "Theocracy" and will soon be ready for implementation, after the last here..sceptics have been rationally convinced of The Truth (TM).

The priests then respectfully request more funds from the royal treasury in hopes of discovering a way to "dig into mountains", as they put it. The Emperor asks about the purpose of this endeavour, in order to test the wisdom of the priests of course. After they correctly reply that this will uncover more shiny objects to adorn the palast halls, the funds are generously granted by the wise deity-in-reign.

[Mathemagician]

Rounding errors strike again and the two warriors that were to be trained in 2 turns each would have taken a turn longer, so they were switched to settlers instead.

[Mathemagician]

The aging emperor has the people build him a neat pyramid to guide his soul to the realm of the Gods and then fades away wondering which of his 68 children of his 11 wives will win the quarrels for the throne, or if any yet unknown children will appear to claim the succession.

Note: The file is renamed to ".csg", so it can be directly opened like a PBEM turn.
