Hello, ladies, germs, and other lifeforms. Most of you probably don't know me, but I've rolled in off of the Civ4 Stories & Tales forum to make my first Civ AAR in a couple of years. The story you see taking shape before you is a sequel to my 2010–2012 opus, Wars of the Gods: Carthage, but...

TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One Rhye's and Fall of Civilizations RAND 3000 BC World size: Huge Climate: Cold Likeness to Earth: High Saladin of the Arabs Ahh, I've wanted to play around with RFC-RAND for so long... I've played about 1000 years of an Arabia campaign already and have built...

Why hello there, Civ4 S&T. ;) I've been a bit scarce around here for some time, mostly owing to a complete and utter lack of free time on my part. Thankfully, with my summer job over and school returning, the paradigm is shifting back towards "Grue has no life and likes to play video games"...

We already have a thread for AI exploits, so why not honor those of the players as well? ;) What DOC games are you proud of, forum?

Namaste! I've decided to finally resume work on Civ IV stories/tales, this time with a moderate/heavy rewrite of my old story, Cahokia - Dawn of a Civilization. Reading back through it, I saw a lot of opportunity for a deeper look into the world my actions in the game created. Expect new...

1.0 - Introduction We Romans are the oldest and proudest race of Europe. From the cradle of our civilization in the hills and valleys of Latium, we rose to become the princes of the universe. For over half a millennium, all of the Mediterranean world, from the moors of Caledonia to the desert...

I haven't seen a Legends of Revolution story around here lately. ;) It's really a rather entertaining little mod, second only to RFC/DoC on my favorites list. I've started a little game as the Greeks on a huge archipelago map, and let it autoplay until the late 1950s. At this point I decided...

Ah, yes, yet another new story. I'm just awful, aren't I, especially considering Bozhe, Tsarya Khrani hasn't been updated all month? Really, I couldn't help myself - I loaded up a little 600 CE Turkey spawn and felt that tickle. I just couldn't resist. I just had to chronicle the misadventures...

Hello again, fine Stories & Tales people! You know what this means! After a month and a half of dilly-dallying and general sloth, it's time for another Gruekiller AAR! I chose to play as the Russians in Lokolus' 1600 scenario, which places the Russians in a unique situation, ready to expand both...

I have decided that following the second and, sadly, final update to Gardens this coming weekend, that I will start instead on a new story as MOTHER ЯUSSIA. It will take place in a 1600 AD scenario I happen to have lying around. :D I know that there's a few of these running around already...

That's right, good people of Civilization IV S&T! Tomorrow begins the saga of Muslim Hispania, in which I bring the Moorish civilization to new heights of greatness in Vanilla RFC. "But Gruekiller," I hear you all cry out in unison, "the Moorish/Andalusi/Cordoban/etc. civilization isn't in...

I've decided to try something new and interesting: to conquer Spain (preferably before 1000 AD), move the capital to Cordoba or Seville, and play the rest of the game as "Al-Andalus". The thing is, how can I force the Arabian Caliphate to collapse and leave me just with my new capital in Spain?

It was the year of the lord 1776, and Europe was at war. All eyes were focused on France and its allies, the Confederation of the Rhine and the Sultanate of Russia, as they warred against the Kingdom of Sweden and the decaying Ottoman Caliphate. Political commentators pointed to Napoleon's great...

For some reason I found this Wikipedia article to be pretty hilarious.

Yeah, so. I hit some writer's block with my Carthage story, but it should be up and running again later this week. I got REALLY bored and decided to get some frivolous tomfoolery in while I was at it. And before you read this, I'd just like to let you know that the UN's Criminal Courts can't...

Oh yes. I'm awful. Two AARs at once. But this one's been stewing in my mind since August, and I've been eager to start out on it. This AAR comes on the cusp of good news: I've finally replaced my craptastic old computer with one that actually works! The Carthage AAR is one a laptop elsewhere in...

There's plenty of guides around on accomplishing UHVs, but are there any guides for making your civ survive all the way to 2050?

Welcome to Wars of the Gods: Carthage! WotGC (for short) is a narrative AAR which focuses on the Immortal Hannibal and his efforts to lead an empire - even as forces all around conspire against him. The game's settings are unmodded BTS on a Continents map with 18 civilizations...

In times immemorial, a people who called themselves Magyar came upon the Carpathian Basin and made their home there. Through the centuries, Romans, Lombards, and Huns all controlled this region, subjugating its population. But by the end of the Ninth Century AD, Europe was chaotic, disunited...
