On this, January 1rst of 4000BC, a few unlucky nomads found themselves what they "thought" was a good spot to settle. But, unforunantly they didn't look too hard. There were elephants to stmapede them. And there was an oasis of fresh water, in which these nomads thought was crap. So, they settled on a regent world, with a huge map, and 16 other civilizations, with a spot in the "promised land."

The tribe had decided to choose a young man as their leader. His name was Tokugawa, and they called themselves the Japanese, and worshiped the Rising Sun. Tokagawa had recent sucess in his first record, The Rising Sun (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=163834).

Now the story begins.

Domestic Advisor- What do we do now, Tokugawa?

Tokugawa- We curse the Rising Sun.

Domestic Advisor- But, I do agree with the people that it is time to settle. All of the nations in the world have already settled, for it is tradition, that on January 1rst, 4000BC, all the nations of the world settle.

Tokugawa- So be it. We name this crappy peice of land, Japan, and this tiny new village of crap, Kyoto.

http://img288.imageshack.us/img288/3905/2313iy.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

So it was done, on January 1rst, the people of Japan settled on this crappy piece of land. Kyoto was founded. The people didn't seem too bad to it at first. Over the first 50 years, they had adapted to the 100 degree temperatures.

Tokugawa- Get my margarita, Johnny. No, Freddy, you stay here and fan me. Willbur, you stay in your pigsty. Cooper, get over here and get me some ice.

Cooper (Servant)- Where will I find ice sir?-

Science Advisor (trots in) - We can choose many things to research, sir. What would you like? Pottery Bronze--

Tokugawa- Whatever the heck Pottery is I'll take that.

Science Advisor- Pottery will allow us to build granaries, which will increase our food source.

Tokugawa- Very well. Research pottery.

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9348/2322zj.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Albert (Worker)(Enters Room) - Sir, those elephants we have seen will not stampede us. They will, instead, create ivory which will make us happy.

Tokugawa-[B] Oh, lord, anything to nake these people happy will do. :wow:
Build a road to it immedatly.

[B]Albert - Yessir. Also, sir, I have two things to ask you. That pool of water to our west is not contaminated or anything. It is completely drinkable and will provide us with food. Then, I have heard of a method called irrigation, which I can create nesr rivers. It will also increase our food source.

Tokugawa- :dubious:

So, Albert began his work and made shure that it was done well.

http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/8419/2334ey.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

And then soon:

Trade Advisor - We complete a source of ivory to make our folk happy! :woohoo:

Tokugawa- That's great, now leave.

Trade Advisor - Obviously the full efect of hapiness from this hasn't met you yet. (Storms out the door)

Looks like a fairly good start and better than settling on those yucky flood plains to the SE. I lost 4 citizens as Japan before I could get out a settler because I had to settle on flood plains.

Apr 30, 2006, 08:07 AM
To be on the river so it can grow past size 12. And in hindsight, Kyoto would've also gained 2 flood plains.

The 777 Hoax
Apr 30, 2006, 08:10 AM
Oh, I see. Yeah that probably would've been a good idea.

stocktracker
Apr 30, 2006, 08:44 AM
I think that was part of the story to settle in 4000 BC, regardless of the starting location.

conquer_dude
Apr 30, 2006, 09:12 AM
Yeah stocktracker's right. That's what I said, "that all the nations of the world must settle on January 1rst, 4000BC"

I really did want to move though.:lol:

Expect (maybe) a small little update today.

Tokugawa- *Playing Roller Coaster Tycoon as domestic advisor walks in* Fasten your seatbelts as you go on a wild ride!

Domestic Advisor- How can we go for a wild ride if we don't even have two cities yet. :hmm:

Tokugawa- Alright, what was it you wanted to tell me?

Domestic Advisor -
http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/2064/2356no.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
We have completed our first group of warriors armed with clubs and axes! Their names are all Eddy.

Tokugawa -'Kay so what do I do with these?

Domestic Advisor -:rolleyes: Send them exploring!

Tokugawa - Well, make them do that. After I'm done playing RCT I need to play Civ. *Loads up civ* Die Japs!!!

Domestic Advisor- :dubious:

Trade Advisor- We have found more ivory that we can trade!! Once we find some other people and have a road connected to their capital, I suggest we exchange them some ivory!

Tokugawa -Dream, on dude...et.

Domestic Advisor -*Returns* I have files for you, Tokugawa. We have problems.

Tokugawa - What do these files contain?

DA -See for yourself. :smug:

Tokugawa - How does he do this?

Domestic Advisor - I have no clue but look it worked!

Oh, 4000 save? I overwrited it with Rising Sun 2 save. Sorry.

I would rather you not post screenies. Plus you have the save what I am about to update. You got in it early. :D

I would rather noone else take the save because that would spoil it. Wait for the update (Which is coming tomorow I hope) So I am going to delete the save.
