Prince Aliberti, his sister and the horsemen struggled through the foliage.

Sorry, but ze REICH is still polytheistic. As in we didn't get Monotheism yet, so we can't get Fundamentalism (and we don't have second req, Conscription, anyways) v;

Teheehee. Full murdur hobo.

Update 2: They Keep Settling in that One Spot



Huh, took only 2 turns of Anarchy.
PS: Later on historian Livy finished his book on 'the largest civlizations'.... we were 4th.



Shaka tried to sneak a catapult but our Great Middle Finger Wall forced him to make peace. Also Greeks lost another city to Mongols.



Berlin finishes the Oracle! Theology is short-way on the tech tree from Mysticism BUT it's a dead-end tech so nobody forces you to research it, really (and it comes with its own unhapiness reducing Wonder anyways).



Good for them.



Their emissary visited me the very next year and we did this exchange. Alexander also asked for Trade tech and I gave him it.



I've sweetened the deal with University; then they gave us Banking as a gift when I asked. Three weakest nations bound together. UNDERDOG ALLIANCE!



We also got a bit of techs lately due to all those Libraries and Universities I've built.



<3

He asked for Banking, I gave him it.



After this trade, Caesar broke the alliance!

Fucker >:I


This little city there resulted in Caesar declaring war at us and our government collapsing again.

Fortunately!



The REICHRITTER ensured that Ravenna will never again cause any trouble.



There goes our waterfall of monies. This also prompted Mongols to switch from this to Leonardo's Workshop.
PS: They finished it about 5 turns later. RIP.




WELL DON'T PLACE CITIES IN THAT SPOT AND IT WON'T BE A PROBLEM!?



Alexander is a true buddy when you're at equal footing with him. Next turn, Romans sue for peace.

Also, because Privateering tech came up on the 'next topic' window, I will show Privateer unit for ya because I don't think we will get it otherwise:





So yeah, they hit like a Legion and can strike right from the ship. Unfortunately they make for lousy defenders. But I had fun capturing coastal cities with them when playing as Carthage in that 'post-Alexander' scenario that comes with Civ2.

And yes that's a parrot on his arm.



Don't die on me, Alexander.


It's about time we begun exploring the seas. Romans are sending catamarans and triremes my way and I wanna know from where.

We will find out in next update I guess!

Update 1: REICHRITTER OF ZE GERMAN REPUBLIK!



A little comfort because Mongols just finished Sun Tzu's Academy meaning every land unit of theirs is going to be produced as Veteran from start.
RNG have mercy on their neighbours (and us).



Beelining for some techs.



HOW!?



From what I remember about starting positions on Andala this means that Zulus crawled through whole continent and then captured a Greek city on a hilly peninsula.

That's it. I know how the future will unfold: The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. Zulus vs Mongols. Who will win? No fucking idea, we will be probably dead already by then!



Mongols might have Knights, but at least we have SCIENCE _{Not really, we were ranked 7th in the just-published list of 'most advanced civs' by historian Bede.}



THE END IS NEAR.
PS: After losing 2 Phalanxes and almost having Leipzig razed to dust, a lucky Horseman bested that Knight.



Fuck civilized behaviour.



Time for heavy-duty horsing.



Middle finger for anyone who enters negotiations with me.



Senate did eh. Unhappy Mongols declared war against Romans a split-turn later. We live \o/

...They declared war on me again 5 turns later. And brought an army.

But you know what?


The peninsula was Mongol-Free on 880AD. 4 Knights and 3 Catapults ded by our REICHKATAPHRAKTEN!

And you see that guy? That's a fucking Reichritter (a Knight). We caught up in military tech. Also Berlin is making up Oracle wonder that will double our Temple effect.



K-ching! More money means more REICHRITTER!

Or actually I commissioned a Diplomat. The Romans get techs from Mongols occassionally and it's about time they shared them with us, consent or no consent.



DANKE GOTT IN HIMMEL for Greeks! Not only we traded these techs, they gave us Map Making for free! One reliable friend in the swarm of bloodthirsty murderers.


There. This is our fucking defense perimeter comprised of rough terrain and VETERAN REICHRITTER! We will expand slowly in that direction by making more cities. Our Diplomats in the meanwhile will swindle anything valuable from our so-called 'friends' the Romans.

Fuck! We might not be best Civ in 2020AD but I ain't gonna die out before that time!



See? We got this.



Eh you can go fu-



Oops. I forgot Senate is a thing.

Will the glorious REICHRITTER be enough to secure the border? Will Mr.Frederick get his nation up to 2020AD in one piece?? Find out in next episode!

Sure we will restart. I was just modding my mod further (+pirates, +zeppelins, and some tech fixings).

I will keep the Hordes on but will lower the difficulty to Prince.

Yeah I derped there by not expanding a bit before the Wonder. Old habit
