Years later
TCF: Sire, this is proving to be an amazing start. (Counting off the spoils)After settling Memphis near the Sea where we also hook up Marble, we got 2 techs from a few huts and another scout and gold.
R: What techs?
TCF: We got hunting, archery
R: This is GR8
TCF: Sire, I suggest we start building the Great Wall in Thebes and the Oracle in Memphis. To utilise the Oracle to its fullest, let's also research Monarchy and Writing so that we can get Feudalism as the free tech
R: yeah do that, but what of Hinduism
HSH: oh yeah, we founded it in thebes but some stranger beat us to Buddhism. She's here to meet you know.
(A stranger with a low cut dress appears)
R: Isabella!! How dare you steal Buddhism?
Isa: Just My luck. Anyway, we are annoyed with you, so do you want peace?
R: Yeah sure!
BA: (confidential whisper)
As you can see sire, her lands are south of us in ICE and Shaka is very close to her so we needn't be bothered by her
R: Where is Shaka, I didn't meet him
TCF: OH . .. .. .. .! I left him waiting outside
(A furious Shaka enters)
R: Sorry Pal
Shaka: If you take peace, we will only be annoyed. Otherwise, the Zulu Empire shall destroy you
R: peace pal is my philosophy
Shaka: okay then, our impis will destroy you, hang on, did you say peace? Oh well then
