(This is my first story on this site, so bear with me!)
(Just to warn you...there are spoilers of sorts on this story.)
So now I'm Persia and I just got a leader. I put my leader in my main city that it was next to, Susa. It is in the northern area of the major continent, and a lot of my vets and elites are there. So I was trading around maps and stuff when I noticed that Germany has been growing a very strong force in a large secluded valley. One of my allies, France, will probably be where they attack next, as they have a MPP with the people on all sides of France. I thought that Rome has one too, but I wasn't sure.
I realize the great danger in this so I decide to send my One Army (made up of marines, ironically) into the heart of Germany's valley to execute the Ring Glitch (I couldn't find it on the site, so I named it myself. It immediately terminates a civilization if the capital was attacked more than five times in a turn and you do some other stuff while you see your units attacking). However, before I could think about it, Germany raids Susa with Nine knights. So in response I send my army with eight people escorting it. So now I am plunged in a war with Germany and Japan.
Meanwhile finally Rome allies with Germany (and against me). The fellowship makes their way down towards Germany's capital. I don't usually rest the game on a few units, but this is becoming some kind of epic.
We pass through Britain's land (we have a MPP) and head down further, sailing on a little inlet of water that cuts through the continent. However, there an ambushing party from Rome attacks us just north of France. Before it was too late I had to break up my fellowship. The Army went straight towards Germany with a back-up, and the rest were chased and cornered towards the other shore.
The Romans corner two of my great units, but I run but the Romans chase me towards their capital. It was near my southern expansion, so I decided to help them out. Unfortunately, one of my elites died at the hands of Rome, and the three that are left head towards my establishment, who is currently experiencing a raid from the Romans. Rome had previously culture-flipped one of my major cities, but I brought it back.
We moved our main peoples to our city with the Great Wall, and endure a great attack. We were about to die when Britain's troops emerged from nowhere and attack their flank. Thank Eru!
I took this chance for exploration. Throughout the game I had focused more on culture than on military. My knights near my establishment were dispatched to "save" my elites being chased by Rome, and it was near an unexplored spot, so I decided to give it a try. After I destroyed the chasing Romans, I decided to look with my elites. What I found there was amazing. It was an entirely new civilization from another island, but it had created an establishment here. How it got there undetected was anyone's guess. They were the USA, and their military was pretty strong. I got them to ally against the Romans, but they said no. But then when the Romans attacked them first, together we wiped out all of the cities in that area (they were next to the US, conveniently). US took control of most of the Roman cities. We culture-flipped some of them and decided to have some espianoge. What he figured out was that Rome's forces had gathered near Germany and was about to launch a huge, massive attack on all of France. They had Japan teamed up with them as well. And since we had a Mutual Protection Pact, I decided that I should go anyways.
Meanwhile my army and its escort (to check the land ahead to make sure it was safe from units) was making its way towards Germany's capital. It was very rocky, so traversing it was difficult and roundabout. But eventually I made it to the opening of the valley after going through swamplands. Secrecy was still a prime objective.
The entrance to the valley was very heavily guarded with the help of Japan, and there was no way I was going to get past it. But then I noticed that Germany had just attacked France's city, the first attack. France was trying to stop the invaders from ever reaching their cities and sent some troops ahead. From trading maps I could see that there was a secret entrance into Germany that wasn't over the mountains. So I headed south towards there.
I carefully snuck past every city and unit, but then I saw an army of Panzers being unleashed towards France. They were lead by a leader that they say no man can kill. Well...I said it, at least. I was almost successful when I went through a narrow cave of sorts and a barbarian villiage attacked me. I fended it off, but my army's escort was wounded heavily.
Meanwhile Germany's Panzer army and Japan's Samurai army coupled with Roman's struggling army of Legionaries (though Rome was almost completely obliterated) [NOTE: Throughout this story I will use the country's unique unit to describe their entire forces]. Japan and France were the greatest of enemies as they were constantly at inter-island war.
I quickly sent my Cavalry and one of the original Fellowship towards France, but by the time they got there they were already at war. Two of my original fellowship elites were still alive and gathered there and they fought valiantly. Meanwhile my other three fellowship members were going towards another blank spot. After my succesful experience with USA, I was willing to risk looking in another unexplored area. Voila, there were the Zululands! I quickly allied them and we marched on towards France and the great seige. The Zululanders were advanced in naval power, so I sent them to intercept a Japanese Galley headed straight towards France. About this time, one of my Fellowship grew into a Leader.
The seige started with a city that blocked one of the only connections to the two sides of the continent (divided with an inlet of water, or a really really really thick river that counted as a coastle tile). Germany quickly overwhelmed it, and the garrison there that survived after the first attack ran away. The enemy quickly eqquipped re-inforcements and started their march. First were the Panzers. Frances cites had a great spell of luck, but they were failing badly. It seemed that with the oncoming onslaught of even [i]more panzers and Legions...
I arrived just in time with my cavalry. Even though our numbers were not far superior, we managed to save France. The few surviving Germanic units ran away, regrouping for the next attack. Out of pure luck we won. But after a single turn, they sent in re-inforcements. This time they had an army or two of Samurai, along with a few Panzers and Legions. At first our luck was very, very bad, but soon we overran them. Meanwhile my Zululand forces had made it all the way to France (at the inlet that divided teh continent), and we attacked. They brought many, many, many re-inforcements and we soon overwhelmed Germany. None survived. The battle was over.
However, my One Army's escort had recently made it into the valley itself and found the valley to be too densely packed to even have a chance of sneaking through. So I formulated an idea. I would send a bunch of forces to the main entrance into the valley and it worked. It drew the forces of Germany out and they faced us and we fought. Also with me were all my allies. I took this diversion to send my army into Germany's land and capital. I set off the Ring Glitch. It was over, as all of Germany's forces vanished.
Meanwhile, Rome's few remaining forces attacked my northern establishment were my army was formed from. From this futile attempt I drove them away.
Soon I had heard rumors of a new land far to the west. So I packed up my army and another member of teh fellowship (the others would come later). So in the sunset they sailed into the west.
This was the most deja-vuish game I ever played.
