5020 Years of Greatness: A Babylon OCC in RFC DoC

Chapter 9: Selling off the Seljuks

Uh-oh...


In the meantime, the new scout met Suryavarman the usually-ticked-off.



Despite the threat of imminent annihilation by the Seljuks, Literature was very literally discovered.


Babylon and Arabia finally set aside their differences and worked together against the new threat. Though feudal, this alliance and trade was not futile.


Meanwhile, the scout met Dharmasetu, who was set in his enmity of the Khmer.


A massive horde of Ghulam Warriors and Trebuchets appeared right outside of Ashur's walls, as well as a few other places. The Babylonian people got ready for a massive battle.


Babylonian spearmen and other forces went aggressive and attacked some of the Ghulam Warriors with some success.




Despite that success, more Ghulam Warriors spilled in from elsewhere.


The Parthenon was finished as a prayer to the gods to save Ashur from the fate of many other cities.


The Seljuks tried everything to take the city. They even unleashed vermin into the city granary, but the grain was able to be replaced.


Many units got promotions and continued to fight against the Seljuks.




The Seljuks finally went on the offensive and made their first attack.




Meanwhile, Hammurabi met Charlemagne of the French. Frankly speaking, he wasn't impressed.


The Babylonians made another counterattack, and started to see the light at the end of the tunnel.




The Seljuks attempted to make one last, desperate attack, but it failed, and the Seljuk threat was seldom seen as a problem again.



Until next time, may you not die horribly to the Seljuks.

oh... THAT'S the big seljuk army, not the squirts that pop up near ankyra

My computer is having problems turning on, so no updates for a few days. Sorry!

The Seljuk invasion was not as brutal as I expected.

Chapter 10: Diplomacy Time

Hammurabi met several new neighbors after
narrowly defeating beating up the Seljuks as a nation singlehandedly. Needless to say, these neighbors were not bores at all. Open Borders were secured with some of them, as well as some already known neighbors.










These peasants are REALLY disobedient.


A Great General emerged from the war against the Seljuks, having commandeered a unit of Heavy Swordsmen. Hammurabi sent them to fight the much smaller Seljuk remnant. For once, the Barbies were helpful by destroying Ifsahan, the Seljuk capital, with perfume and barbie glitter.








Meanwhile, the eastward scout met Oda Nobunaga, who composed an ode about his hatred of outsiders to them.


Lastly, to commemorate the total annihilation of the Seljuks, a Great Library was built in Babylon.

Woa, I thought that barb horde would maim you! But Babylon lives!

Did you adopt catholicism before completing the research of Printing Press?

Great wall.

How come I didn't notice that?!

Nice Update.

Chapter 11: More Enemies

Hammurabi met Alfonso Henriques, of the port-a-potty loving civilization of Portugal. He also met Yaqub al-Mansur of the plains-loving Moors.



Hammurabi also discovered the secrets of the Printing Press after nearly pressing his hand off before reading the fine print. This ushered in a Renaissance of learning.



Hammurabi got in his last trade with India, knowing that they would die soon to the new and more powerful Mughals.



Khamang, Mongols! Genghis is here! So are the Mughals!



Hammurabi randomly declared war on Germany to raze a city that would flip to a new enemy...




The secrets of banking were discovered when leading Babylonian economists fell into the river Tigris and made it to the banks.



Not again...


That's all for now! Until next time!

You ought to kill the Ottomans.

Ba-dum tssssss.

So. Much. Pun!

ha ha very punny

We've used this joke pun too many times.

Chapter 12: Furniture and Porcelain

A Great Engineer is born in Ashur, Ur-Nammu. He specialized in making Ur-nate chinaware, which let him instantly complete progress on the Porcelain Tower.



A list of the most powerful nations was compiled, and surprise surprise, Babylon was not on it!


Hammurabi trades the secrets of Banking to the Basil the gardener-emperor of Byzantium in exchange for a compass and a crapton of money.


For the first time in his 4,200-year life, Hammurabi fainted at the sight of the Turkish SOD. When he woke up, he decided to hire some mercenaries to make him feel better.



In response to wartime measures against Turkey, farmers outside of Babylon struck a series of good business deals with the Grocer there, greatly increasing the amount of war rations.


It's getting closer... closer...


Then Mehmet meh'ed out of the desert climate, turned his army around, and marched to Constantinople against the Byzantines. Have fun growing basil in hell, Basil!


On a brief side note, an Open Borders agreement was made with Morocco.


Finally, Mehmet sued for peace, having gained nothing in his war against Babylon. He made a pretty meh deal, considering that Hammurabi even agreed to teach him the secrets of pretty basil-gardening.


Until next time, may you not wimp out of other climates.

Mehmed has mehmet his match.

*plays ringshot*

Chapter 13: Guns, Germs, Steel, and a Crapton of Barbarians

A Great Prophet, Utnapishtim was born in plague-ridden Ashur. He made a profit (get it?) off of his cult, known as Icantunderstandhisnameism.


Hammurabi let the people change the government to an urbanized Republic, but only under the condition that Hammurabi would be President for Life.


Meanwhile, explorers met the duck-loving Nareswan, leader of the thai-dy and well-dressed Thai people.


Hammurabi taught Saladin how to make books in exchange for a gun and some money.


However, look at what wonder becomes obsolete with Gunpowder... (just as a disclaimer, Great Wall expires with Rifling in regular BTS, and as a result, this took me completely by surprise.).


Babylonian thinkers made great advancements in Philosophy, increasing the amount of useless slaves people.


Wang Kon taught Hammurabi how to build Sentries, Dispensers, and Teleporters, but he won the philosophy of paper money and banks (punnily enough, won is the South Korean currency, $1 = 9000 won).


A young Babylonian architect known as Pis-sa-Vul completed a tower, but he accidentally built it at an awkward angle. However, Hammurabi found it very useful for dropping Pis-sa-Vul to his death, as well as other state prisoners. It became known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, despite Hammurabi's wishes to name it as the "F***ed up Tower of Dead Idiots".


About that massive barb stack, these are a small sample from many pictures showing a small Babylonian army's attempt to fight off the first Barbie Mega-Stack of Doom(TM). This stack had a good 15-20 Horse Archers.





They just kept on coming.


In the midst of the Barbie madness, a Great Scientist, Tapputi, was born. He built a scientific academy devoted to finding ways to fight off SODs.


More barbs.



The last of the barbs were dealt with, and a new Great General of Musketmen, Sennachetib, emerged following the death of Tigrath-Pilerer.


Until next time, may you not be caught off guard by changes from BtS to DoC.

Without the great wall, you need barbed wire to keep out the barbs.
