I play as Greece most of the time, and I want to hear real tales of glory from Aexander the Great 's. :king:
Here is my own:

My world consists of two Continents and two habitable Islands. Athens was founded on the southern tip of the First Continent. It grew to encompass most of the southern 1/3 of the First Continent. In accoplishing this, Greece destroyed the western culture of England. At this time, Greece had just discovered the musketman, but did not have very good boats. When the world's first Galley set out in 300 AD, the civilizations on each continent knew not of each other. It was Greece who united the continents by means of ships and harbors. Greece went on to victory in 2050, by having the highest score of any civilization known to man! :D

Ha! Beat that story! Remember, this story must have really happened in a legitimate game of CivIII.

My first almost successful game (really my third, on Chieftain) was played as the Greeks. Here is a brief account of Alexander's reign until 1989:

During most of the Ancient and Middle Ages, Greece was the cultural and scientific leader of the world, providing everyone with knowledge. Indeed, the Greek culture was so great that many cities defected to the Greek side. However, the Greeks had almost no military, as we shall see. When the 15th century started, Egypt declared war on Russia - a lunatic move. The combined forces of Russia, Germany and Rome easily destroyed them. In 1770, the Golden Age of Greece started, and Russia, Azteco (as I call it) and America signed mutual protection pacts with Greece (Greece had a way of getting it their way in diplomacy). Russia also signed a mutual protection pact with Germany, and the only nation not to have such pacts were Rome. Despite this, Rome declared war on Greece in the very late years of the century!

After initial success and liberation of Pisae, who had defected to Greek rule thirty or forty years earlier, Greece reconquered Pisae and also conquered Veii from the Roman rule. In 1820, Greece signed a peace treaty with Rome, but this didn't count for the other war-waging nations, Germany, Russia, Azteco and America. Lutetia, the last Roman city, was conquered by American cities in 1850. Then the Great Peace started. War was avoided for one hundred and thirty years, and Greek science and culture flourished.

During the 1960's and 70's, a huge signing of mutual protection pacts throughout the world started. Greece was the only nation that didn't take part in these. This turned out to be fatal. In 1981, German forces walked through Russia, razed the cities of Delphi and Tivilia (defected from Russia and renamed from Tbilisi), and conquered Sevastopolis (also defected from Russia and renamed) with the Manhattan Project. Eight years of war followed, with America, Iroquois and Greece on one side and Germany, Russia and Azteco on the other. In 1989, when Alexander retired, Greece had lost Thermopylae, liberated Sevastopolis, and defected the city of Heidelburg.

That wasn't too bad...my only complaint is that Germany declared war without any reason!:mad:
