Nations are formed in this tumultuous environment, birthed from the struggles as men band together for the common good of themselves or the common evil of their neighbors. It is a blank slate prepared for any...

Towards my former retirement from the world of NESing I created an NES of immense popularity. Absolution surged the popularity of the Apolyton Neverending Story, it was of almost legendary proportions in its time and had a large effect on rule making. It was not long until Apolyton's...

About two years ago something new arrived at the Apolyton Civ3 Stories Forum, SKILORD began an NES, SNESA: SKILORD's Neverending Stories Apolyton. It was at the height of that forum, and the concept quickly gained a small, but devoted, following. NESes at Apolyton never reached the size of...

I'm working on a study to compare the client kingdoms in Ancient Rome to the modern state system of the American Federal Republic. Comparisons between America and Rome come easy, but I've never seen this one before and it fascinates me. What I do know is this: to be found at...

This story's been running since January over at 'poly, I've written fifteen chapters and gathered a rather large folowwing of readers (they even reply). I understand that many of you have no intention of reading 15 chapters of... anything, let alone a story about something as pointless as a...

(Yes, I know how long it is. I'm sorry, but I promise that it's good.) An Introduction to Pax Germania I have been silent for a long time. I had lost my inspiration for a while, but I found it a few weeks ago when I started to write this. I wrote 5 pages and left it alone for a while...

I would like to take this time to announce that I have altogether too much free time. Where is the proof of this? simple. Right here It's not that impressive, but I did it. I shot 206 Watermelons. The enticing little banner has been tempting me for at leaswt a week now so I went all...

Welcome, fellow players. It is without doubt that you have heard of Absolution, the renovations that were made in rules of Story NESes are hailed to this day by such masterpieces as STJNES4. Absolution was intended to be to the Apolyton NES community what RTOR2 was to CFC. I refined EQ's...
