Update 9: No India No More~

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Despite our best efforts the war continues; Vikings and Greeks began to continuously help Indians with units, pricking our side with stream of Crusaders, and also technologies, allowing Gandhi to finally develop his own Gunpowder.




Fortunately we are done with Darwin's Voyage; it sped up research on Magnetism (which gave us hillariously obsolete ships by now), and I've choosen Leadership so as you can see, our horse units were beefed up into Dragoons. With 2HP, they can soak up much more damage than any previous mounted unit.




Yes, finally! Our mighty Dragoons captured Indian capital after a lenghty war. I've checked with the embassy; Karachi and Bangalore are the only cities left.




Our research on Theory of Gravity was completed and that unlocked another of my modded units; the Balloon. It works like Helicopter; has infinite fuel and just loses tiny bit of HP each turn outside a city, but won't perish from that. Perfect, unrestricted scout.



Soon.

Very soon.



Or maybe the Vikings disagree? Their forces snuck upon Nanking, but do not worry, we will deal with them.
PS: And we did; 2 Catapults, 3 Crusaders and a Dragoon in total were defeated.




And it's done. Indian cities are all ours. The destruction of Indian civilization prompted Alexander to withdraw his Crusaders that were glaring at us from hills and plains north of Karachi.

Turn later, Beijing constructs Shakespeare's Theatre while Aztecs build Eiffel Tower... wait. You need Steam Engine for that, where did they get it from? Maybe we're not the only smart people on this planet...

This update ends here, have a map of Greek coasts that our Balloons have explored.
Note to self: Reinforce Karachi border irrigations.

Dejected clunking to J-15 after Lambden heals.

I've completed creating yet another Zeus: Master of Olympus campaign. I feel both proud of myself and quite satisfied :3

Also delicious Easter breakfast earlier today, om nom nom.

Of course I am bothered.

Update 8: Death of the Republic

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Suprisingly fast the Ironclad reaches the shores of other continent! No Aztec city in sight, and our ship was sent southwards. If Aztecs sent ships, they gotta have a port somewhere.



A-ha, we finished the Explosives research and our Settlers are now Engineers, who work twice as fast.




Our Ironclad found the Aztecs; and our Explorer found the Greeks (Alexander took this opportunity to declare war on us).



Our explorer is set upon an army of Crusaders of the peoples we only heard tales about - Vikings!

They begun with demand for Gunpowder. We politely reject, but hoping that-



Welp.



The Indians break the cease fire! We have the reason to attack them.

This will soon be ours.

PS: With Sanitation's secrets discovered few turns earlier, our Chinese cities will soon boom with population!



Sweet. Factories increase Shield production by 50%. With a railroad network in the works, we-



...

.  .  .



We no longer have a Senate.



But at least we have a Queen.



And she demands blood.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Indians are on brink of being incorporated into glorious Chinese Kingdom, with one city of Karachi outside our sights yet. Must be somewhere down the peninsula.

With Greeks and Vikings alternating between alliance and mutual war, and Aztecs sitting tight on their private continent, the stage is set for Chinese domination sciency quest to space!

And here the Queen's plans for future settlements with irrigation network expansions too and locations of particular resources they gonna have. Then I believe we will be content with amount of territory and cities we have, and we will get our borders closed and leave every other civilization behind. May they wallow in their own mud.

Update 7: Executive Meddling (of the Senate)



Tientsin throws a fit and its mandarin goes missing. He probably got killed by angry peasants. He will be missed.



One Colliseum later and all is well.



Indians demanded Gunpowder, and I rejected. They didn't wage war so I placated them with secrets of Navigation and Engineering instead.

Two turns later, Greeks and Indians declared war at each other.



I was tempted for 0.297 seconds. But they didn't throw any money into it so I politely declined.



Hmmm. That was fast, and Vikings gave our neighbours some useful techs (nothing of concern though).

Many turns of lull in anything interesting, suddenly Indian legions step up to our settlers south of Shanghai. They demanded Gunpowder, I refused, and they declared war. Our musketeers dealt with initial two Legions.

Shanghai began training Musketeers while Anyang is assembling Cannons. We will capture Lahore and then encroach upon the heart of Indian territory which is currently dealing with crusader raids.



Oh come on!



This happens just after we capture Lahore. SENATE WE HAVE BEEN OVER THIS ALREADY!!



A three-Crusader landing almost had captured Tatung if not for the bravery of the Musketeer garrison that somehow repelled them with tiny amount of survivors. Phew. This reminded me to make the standard 'two unit garrison' in our core cities.



And I decided to show Indians that they're not the only ones with heaps of money; this is our captured Legion, people!
PS: It was later disbanded in Anyang to speed up creation of another Cannon unit.

Gandhi refuses to be incited into open war by not getting angry at our repeated refusals of giving him Gunpowder. Tsk.



Soon we will be a superpower though. Darvin's Voyage, once completed, grants you TWO free technologies. And Railroads boost both Trade and Shield production of a tile they're built on, and units moving on railroads do not lose Movement (this can have grave consequences if you get invaded, though).

Turn later... the cease fire ended! Now we can- SSSEEEEEEENAAAAAAATE!!! I couldn't declare formal war because they overrule me each time. Gaaah!



Ha! THIS time they won't get away so easily!



Ahahah! Now the cash will flow! Adam Smith's Company pays for each City Improvement that costs 1 coin. Usually this means that your income is effectively getting a boost between 15~30%!



The city of Bombay falls into our hands after our Cannons and Knights blast through 6 units stationed there, mostly warriors and legions. This is only the first step-



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA



Another Wonder under our glorious Chinese coat. And then another - Michelangelo's Chapel! The first one though paves way for my little exploration project...



...it's time for us to visit the land of enigmatic Aztecs, builders of galleys that recently began to visit our coasts suprisingly frequently! This mighty Ironclad shall be our explorer!

But more on that in next update.

Tiruin we're on different continent I:

* Haspen pokes CrickEt, Furtuka and Tiruin for support confirmation ;v

"Our chances of succeeding at that are really small."

"Well, I have spoken. Nobody will hand over something as precious as Fire Emblem, and our party is inept at sneaking. Our quest is thus doomed."

13198
"The wyvern smashes into the castle, we seize the gem, and evacuate. No need for sneaking or diplomacy! Qorhin will protect us, and the guards will be too surprised about our absurd entrance that they won't react till it's too late."

Where's 'murder everything' option? :c

This glorious display of elaborate roleplaying that brought my heart to tears should be rewarded!!

Miguel x Cyra

And supports that (very) slowly accumulated over last several chapters:

Miguel x Julius
Julius x Alec

Gibe or not gibe, dis a real question ;v?
