4000 BC Founding of the new Empire of Greece - Athens.

Athens will build one warrior to explore together with King Legator the world. After the warrior one settler will be build.

After a long meeting over a week without a break King Legator and the leading scientists of his greek-tribe decided that its best to explore masonry.

The settler moves up north while King Legator and the warrior going east and northeast. Due a visit to and old tribe Legator found out the secrets of pottery.

3350 BC - our empire grows ! - Foundation of Sparta !

The worker who is loyal since day one will connect Athens with Sparta so those cities are connected with each other. In the meanwhile Athens had build another warrior. Legator found 2 fields with dyes - Luxuries ! They will help to keep the people happy. Continent/Island/Pangea or atleast there where i started is a mixture of everyhting, sadly to the south its very cold - Tundra.

This is how the world is known by Athens at 3200 BC : (at the spots i made i plan to found cities)

3100 BC = Masonry is done ! Good work scientists - We will try to get Pyramids now - maybe we are lucky. Now we will head for writing (gladly we were able to use an alphabet already but couldnt write) and then Literature.

Same turn first warrior got killed by evil barbarians :(

In the meanwhile not alot happened, build a Settler and King Legator discovered or better said freed (english?) one hut with barbarians and got us 25 gold - but we decided to move him to Athens after a warrior died to those barbarians, he will be protected there by hoplites.

2800 BC Founding of Thermopulae

2710 BC Athens starts finally the Pyramids after we build another hoplite and a settler

2550 BC Founding of Corinths

2510 BC Founding of Delphi

All cities get now at first a hoplite for protection and than they start with settlers, as one lacks food the city produces now and then wealth.

2390 BC Exploration of Writing -> Literature in 14 Turns.

Minoan Encamp killed at 2270 BC. Getting me another 25 gold, wow i can swim in it soon.

Also in 2270 my citizens want to expand my palace, my poor cave gets now a nice lawn !

2230 BC First Naval Unit build by the Greek-Empire ! - Delphi builds a Curragh - will support us in the exploration of the world.

2190 BC We enter a hut and 3 Ligurian Conscripts appear = we killed one i got first Veteran Warrior !

2150 BC Killed another one ! We got an Elite Warrior now ! Also civil disorder in Athens :( - it grew to 5 and 3 hoplites cant stop the masses - really time to connect the dyes.

2110 BC - Washington completes Oracle !!!! - That means somewhere in this world are other civilizations than me - i will go on and search for them.

This is how the world is looking atm :
