Well, Mexico is actually Aztec, reenamed to Mexicans and Motnezuma renamed Panchos Villa (just for a few laughs).


Anyhow, I wil probably goof it up too.

A tribe of nomads, almost 2000 men, has finally settled down. A lot of natives were there – some hostile, some friendly. But the men have settled down in the land of Mexico!

At first, religious chiefs ruled over the settlement of Mexico City. By 3500 Before Common Era (BCE), a pack of warriors was sent out to explore eastwards.

Soon, they’ve discovered Savage Desert, American expedition and Iroquois, with their city of Salamanca.

Around 3300, a group of warriors led by Huan Sanchez have taken over Mexico. Those people have wanted war against Iroquois. It came on 2630 BCE, as Niagara Falls and Salamanca were besieged. Iroquois attempt to throw Mexicans back at Mohawk River on 2510 BCE was a bloody failure, as despite huge Mexican losses, veteran (they had some earlier encounters with Iroquois on their smaller counterattacks) Mexicans slaughtered over 3000 Iroquois warriors and archers in Iroquois attack on the fortified positions. On the same year, Niagara Falls fell, after Iroquois forces, outnumbered and outgunned, gave committed suicide by charge on Mexican positions.

Siege of Salamanca however continued. It lasted for long time – over several centuries, according to legends. Attempted counterattack at God’s Cave (2150 BCE) has failed, and siege continued.

Among those who fought was an Aztec, Ahuizotl, who was once one of commanders of Iroquois forces at God’s Cave, but then he and his Aztecs have joined Mexicans, and he led the taking of Salamanca in 1990 BCE. Remainders of Iroquois (have escaped somewhere into the mountains, paying all of their treasury and Tlaxcallan Tribe was released to join Aztecs in Salamanca. Iroquois War was over. It produced a lot of veterans, or you may even call some of them elite, since Iroquois constant attacks, and constant counterattacks were occurring from time to time, and it was a great training for those who survived the war.

The victory is here!

To be continued...

kewl story mate, like the way u did this

Thanks. Now back to the STORY!!!

Roads were already between Salamanca and Mexico City. Niagara Falls (from now on Posada del Niagara) was not yet linked. Also, a city was needed to protect the Trans-Savage Desert Road.

Jaguar Warriors were sent to garrison the new and old lands right after the war. Former Iroquois soon ended the resistance in Posada del Niagara. So haven’t the people in Salamanca – by 1870 BCE, Mexico was in peace.

On around 1625 BCE, road between Mexico City and Posada del Niagara was opened. By 1550 BCE, Del Desertciudad is built on the road in the middle of Savage Desert.

On 1125, American homeland was finally discovered. In order to face their advancing frontier, city of Moovila was found to the south. In the north, to face the Persian expansion, near Norda Gulf, Fronteira was built. But to the south, Americans have taken Golden Mountains by building Seattle. To the north, Persians have built Gordium to control Nroda Peninsula.

Around 650 BCE, Thousands of brave Mexicans went to populate the Frontier so Persians and Americans would not expand farther. Those people were true patriots…

After exploring through the Persian lands, we found our archenemy – Iroquois.

In a thrust into no-man’s land between several Persian provinces, Ciudad Huan was built. In south, on 350 BCE, some parts of Golden Mountains have pledged allegiance to Mexico, as the settlers built Ciudad Golde.

On 250 BCE, Americans have built Fort Houston in the middle of Mexican territory. On 230, an embassy was established in Persian capital of Persepolis.

On 170 BCE in the middle of desert, Aztec tribesmen have built Tenotchitlan, which was from now on a part of Mexico.

On 130 BCE, Rio de Villa was built to establish a final Northwestern Frontier and to prevent any Americans or Persian expansion there. Meanwhile, works on Oracle of Salamanca and Colossus del Mexico (in Mexico City) have just started!

0 BCE brought a commoner who said – “It’s our era!” So, well, Common Era… CE…

On 150 CE, Map Making was invented.

This catapulted the First Age of Colonization for Mexico! A brand new age for us all!

Good story.

But that has to be one of the single worst starting positions I've seen in a long time!

Yep. I've been starting it 5 times, but that's the best one I've seen during that chech up... I guess is not Mexican day, is it?

Oh yes, and to those are worrying for Houston in middle of our territory, just you wait for the next update (and no, it was peacefully).

Yeah you did pretty well consider the bad terrain. You must be a civ expert! Continue the story. Is there a big battle coming up?

Well, I am not an expert, I am jsut a ltitle bit lucky with the Iroquois, mainly thanks that my attack was a surprise, and that I've prepared a large army before the war. Oh, and battle is not near, but we think, that WE WITH PERSIANS, IROQUOIS AND AMERICANS ARE NOT ALONE - and we will try to prove it.

Ships ;)
Nice work das, more.....MORE ;)

Oh, and I take it back about no large battle. Death to Persians! Hip-hip hurray!

But before it started, on 250 CE civilian population of Houston rebelled and joined Mexico. Americans were in discontent, but could not do anything.

Meanwhile Mexico City built a galley and sent to Iroquois Land to pick up colonist to take Easter Island. The only bad news was that some barbarian outsiders have sabotaged both our projects, by saying that they’ve already built this.

On 340 CE, some of greatest Mexican philosophers, including Don Lanchez have opened a great age of philosophy for Mexico, mainly based on concept that Persians, Americans, Mexicans, Aztecs and Iroquois are not the only people in the world.

By 380, Mexican colonists have built Ciudad Easter on Easter Island, eventually isolating Seattle. On 420 CE, impressed Persian citizens of Sidon have also rebelled and joined Mexico, just like Houston did, and Persian High King has made a massacre of his whole Culture Ministry for this failure. Talking of failures, on 440, a Mexican galley, which was sailing westward, was sunken in treacherous waters of Whale Ocean.

On 570th CE, Don Likenzo writes his “Les Polytheism”. On 580 CE, the last straw came for Mexican chiefs, as American Colonies on Texas Island were established.

On 580, a great explorer Hernan de Cortez has sailed westward to find new lands. On 600 CE, contact with English was established as well as Reading Island was discovered. Hernan de Cortez returned a hero, and on 640, he became Mexico’s first Emperor.

Then on 620, Persians have decided to rebel in Sidon, and rejoined their nation. Well, we decided to start PLOTTING against them!

The variants were: war, culture and coalition war.

We wanted to retake it by culture, but coalition war is not a bad idea, especially after they built Dariush Kabir on Cow Island, against our claims. So, well, what else can we do?

But before the solution was found, a new concept was introduced – a man actually became ruler of All The Mexico – Hernan de Cortez I the Unificator established Cortez Dynasty and Imperial Government. Hernan I proved to be an evil dictator: he forced thousands of men to work on his building projects, and much of them have died, but those projects may have saved Mexico…

Hernan II who came to power in 670 CE, and continued his father’s policy. He also began preparations to war against Persians in the border towns and cities. After Hernan II’s death, Ferdinand I came to power in 780 CE. In 820 CE, Ferdinand began to rule over a country in war!

That position is bad but at least your roads are quickly built. You should have seen mine when I got stuck with the French in mountains. Here is the thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21018&highlight=Worst+Starting+Locations

Good story Das.... Keep 'em coming.

The war is over, and we with our Iroquois allies have won! I will post AAR tommorow, with a map, like the one in Iroquois War.

Emperor Ferdinand led the first attack personally, but he didn’t come on field, as he claimed. He led only the 5th attack on Pasargadae to crush weak civilian militia. The fist large city to fall was Pasargadae on 820 CE. Before any more victories came, Iroquois have agreed to ally with us for exchange that will send them free copies of “Les Polytheism” and learn them how to make swords out of Iron. They also told us of mysterious people they’ve found – Chinese.

We also found out that they live to the west from English. Chinese have told us of Romans living to the northwest from English and north from Chinese. In their turn, Romans have told us of Babylonians, who live on Chinese Continent of Babel Peninsula. But back to war.

After long fights outside of Pasargadae, Persians have retreated to Persepolis. On 840, Sidon fell. Gordium gave up without the fight. Antioch also fell, but the local garrison had first slaughtered 8000 Horsemen and 200 Swordsmen during 840. A new offensive of Persian Immortals towards Pasargadae was a terrible defeat as some of Mexican Swordsmen cut their offensive off. Despite their fanatism (which helped them to break out), they had to retreat with large causalities.

On the same year, Iroquois have taken Samaria from Persians. Then, in peaceful development Chinese have helped Mexicans to arrive to Middle Ages. Ferdinand was grateful. In 850, at Dervish Grassland, Imperial Army of 6000 Swordsmen slaughtered over 2000 Persian Immortals 2000 in each unit, as ancient chronologists claim.

On 870, despite large causalities, Ferdinand took Tarsus, a major Persian fortress, cutting off Arbela, and taking enemy catapult.

All that time, Darius III heroically protected Persepolis. After Ferdinand died from his grave wounds (assassination attempt on 860 CE by Persian resistance and sudden enemy counterattack at Dervish Grassland where he camped) and his old age, Hernan III, who already led Mexican forces in siege of Sidon, has became Emperor without even visiting Mexico City and Salamanca or wearing a crown until the war is over – that was his promise.

New Emperor’s first success was finally taking Persepolis. Darius has escaped to Susa. On 890, Cow Island was captured. After ten more years, fell Arbela to Hernan III.

Darius IV (new king, who ruled after Darius III’s death in Susa) has made a heroical stand at Susa, but he had no chance. On 910, Susa fell, and Hernan has soon paraded throughout the city. On 920, rebels in Arbela have temporarily taken the city, but soon it was retaken.

Now, let us stop for a while, and compare Hernan III with his predecessors. Hernan I was naval explorer, a captain, a sailor and administrator, but not a warrior, Hernan II was cruel, but a good administrator and architect, but not warrior. Ferdinand I was a warrior, but never fought in field, expect for the cases where it came to chasing the enemy or attacking a very weak enemy, and he also didn’t like all those fancy maneuvers, liking rather a bloody but colossal battles, bringing glory to him, mostly by rewriting history and telling how he rode on his horse before his men in Pasargadae, Antioch and other battles during his reign.

Hernan III the Great, as he came to be known, did led his men and field and rode before his men at Arbela and Susa. He also was the first commander to understand the importance of maneuver to save his men. The classics like flank attack and fake retreat were first used in Persepolis, luring Persians out of their positions. And then reserve attacked them from the flank, cut them off, and the main army begun their own attack, and over 7000 Persians were slaughtered, before they’ve managed to escape. Persian stand at Persepolis was fatally damaged, and soon it fell to Hernan.

In 920, Persepolis rebelled. Soon pro-Persepolis uprisings have begun all over North Mexico and Persia. Results of the uprising were terrible territorially – Iroquois have taken some golden mines in the mountains thanks to this uprising, and when city was retaken, they stayed under Iroquois. However Hernan has avenged this by cheating Iroquois of the victory at Bactra, where Darius was besieged. Mexicans took Bactra, and Darius was taken as an honorary prisoner...

Darius submitted to his fate. He proclaimed that Hernan III is now Great King of Persian Realm. All his reign took place during the first and the only war in Persian history, and Persia lost it. But his son, Xerxes, has led a new rebellion in Persepolis. Tyre and Ergili to the north were left to Iroquois, but just in case an expedition was sent there but it was soon cancelled, as Iroquois have taken Hamadan Oh well, Hernan didn’t expect to hold that much land in the undeveloped Persian North anyway... In the end, Persepolis gave up without a fight.

But it wasn’t the last battle of Ferdinand’s War. Iroquois were still fighting, and a naval expedition was sent to establish an outpost in north most Persian town – Ergili. Men sailed out on 10 galleys. Expedition consisted from 1000 horsemen. On 980, Tyre fell to Iroquois. Nexes, a very important Persian noble, established Kingdom on Ergili, but it didn’t last. Personally, after hearing what happened to former vassal Persian city-state Tyre, in which half of the population and all the nobles and elite were put to a long and torturing deaths, Nexes wanted to give up to Mexicans, who allowed those who didn’t resist, even the nobles and those who once commanded Persian armies against Mexicans were allowed to stay in their positions in new Mexican conquest. But Ergili fell to Iroquois, and expedition was cancelled.

However, somehow, Nexes and the last Persians escaped to Ghulaman, a small Persian village on Texas Island. It was decided to sign peace with him, as he was no longer dangerous. However, we proclaimed to him, that if any Persians in our lands rebel, then war would continue. Persians gave us everything they knew: maps, contacts, technologies and even more. Among the new maps, they also gave us map of Deutschland Island. Btu it is just a minor footnote in history. He victory over Persians was finally here, and Mexico went to Middle Ages. Hernan finally got crowned High King of Persia and Emperor of Mexico.

Emperor Ferdinand’s War (Legend of Map) – Purple = Iroquois Offensive, Light Green = Ferdinand’s Offensive, Dark Green = Hernan III’s Offensive, Dark Red = Naval Expedition by Mexicans or Persian Evacuation, Dark Blue = Persian Offensive, Light Blue Covered Ground – Area Lost Due to Persepolis Rebellion

Do you want me to continue?

yes.

Plz

Thanks. I wil lstart writing next chapter today after the internet..

During the last years of Hernan III’s rule, more and more accurate world map was coming to be known. Also, after Persian war, Mexico was leading Technologic Race. On 1020 CE, a great man, Hernan III Cortez the Great, Emperor of Mexico and Great King of Persia, passed away.

Since Carlos I Cortez was too young, General Francisco ruled as Regent. He decided to reform Mexican government to a more liberal version of government – Monarchy.

During his coup of 1030-1040 CE, Mexican government was turned into Monarchy. During this period, some people have made riots all around Mexico and Persia, but soon they stopped. Monarchy was achieved, and everyone recognized it. Carlos I will be the first King of Mexico and the second High King of Persia from Cortez Dynasty.

However some of uprisings, led by the old elite went on. By 1140, it was limited to Ciudad Huan and Salamanca. On 1200, as Ferdinand II came to power, Monarchy was well established, and Salamanca was silenced. Ciudad Huan was the last point of resistance.

Rebellions and uprisings were occurring in different areas of Mexico, but surprisingly, Persians have become the most loyal subjects of Ferdinand II. Rebels seemed happier at war under despotism then in peace under monarchy. But this changed, when Ferdinand got his new minister – a very mysterious but ingenious man named Huan Carlos (OOC: I am about to finish my homework, and clean the computer from needless files, and then I hope it will go faster).

\/ World Map As we know it 1240 CE with three administrative subdivisions of Mexico – Mexico Proper, Mexico Persia, Mexico Iroquois land \/

Can anyoen help me with thsoe riots?

They always riot when you switch govs. Yet, they also like more entertainment/protection in monarchy. Create some specialist (entertainers) and/or give them some smilies on your slider bar. Also, make sure that you have a unit in every town. They get scared if unprotected. Thus:

1. Put a defender in every town
2. Get as many luxaries as you can
3. Balance your cash/science/lux by using the sliders and specialists.

hope that helps...

Is the quality of the unit influential? I mean, I have an old Jaguar Warrior in Slaamanca, and they kept rebelling...

I think the more powerful the unit is, the more influential it is in the city. Because I had a calvary in a city and they kept rebeling, but as soon as I put in a Mech. Infanty, they seemed to see things my way....
