Nice write-up guys! I was too tired after the game to make anything like this. Here is a brief review :
The immortal Darius come back in his 2nd epopea, after defeating Iroquois and french people from another world. This time, the leader proposed to his lieutenants to focus on growth before anything else. ''Tall or Wide?'' asked some advisors. ''Wide!'' loudly said Darius, always looking ill and nearly insane. Some other advisors are whispering : ''I hope that our leader will not turn wild like the last time or i will demissionate immediately''.
The already tedious situation is not going to help our fellow citizen to be at work like they should...
Finally, the empire is born under a weird shaped land, some strange inland sea is located in the middle of the donut shaped continent. Some turns later, a scout discovered a little chunk of land that can be stpped only by sea. Optics qwill eventually be discovered very soon, but not before gathering luxuries techs first. As it was decided, Persians have worked peacefully their land, discovered China and have discovered some city states with the help of a trireme. Luckily, a scout brought back 2 workers from a city state. 1 from a barb camp and another one from the city state himself.
The Darius noticed something interesting after the discovery of iron working. China was peaceful during that time, but Darius noticed that the Chinese empire wasn't well protected, from what the demographic screen told. He immediately gave orders to his advisors to build some immortals and swordmen to take a city. ''Not again...'' said some soldiers. ''God, can we have a new leader someday? Sigh, i forgot that our leader is immortal...''
Persians's strategy worked, the city felt. But chineses didn't tell their last words. Some turns later, the city came back to China. ''Some problems occured my lord. What we gonna do?'' said a general. ''Hmph...let's see what the China's leader will want for the future. I might want to accept a peace deal. He told me that another civilization may fly through the tech tree faster than us, even if, i think, we are well rounded in tech pace and production.'' said the great Darius, scratching his head. ''Tech tree? '' said an advisor. ''Whatever...listen to me and shut up!'' said Darius.
What is going next? Does China and Persia will make peace? We will see in the next episode of : THE RETURN OF DARIUS!(...in 3D in all theaters)
