40 Civilizations: The Quest for Power

(Thebes. Enter Pericles and Spyros)

SPYROS: Pericles! A word about our power?
PERICLES: Yeah?
SPYROS: We are second in the world
PERICLES: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!? Says who?
SPYROS: Tacitus
PERICLES: Send my army and go declare war on Tacitus
SPYROS: Uhh...Tacitus does not have a civilization
PERICLES: Then go to his house and declare war from there!
SPYROS: Uhh...yes sir
PERICLES: By the way...who was number 1?
SPYROS: Montezuma
PERICLES: MONTEZUMA??!?!?!? He just lost a city to Abu Bakr!!!!!!!!
SPYROS: Must be a lack of training
PERICLES: Send double my troops to Tacitus's house!
SPYROS: Uhh......yeah......sure
PERICLES: And while your at that, we are helping Huayna defeat Abu Bakr
SPYROS: We're declaring war on Abu Bakr?
PERICLES: Yep, go and gather the troops. Oh, and drag anyone else into this war
SPYROS: I'm on it

(Mecca. Enter Pericles, Huayna, Joan, Deganawida, Cetshwayo, Montezuma, and Abu Bakr)

PERICLES: Wow, I didn't know that THIS much people were gonna declare war on you
ABU BAKR: Bah! Shat up!
MONTEZUMA: Thanks, you guys, for helpin me out!
HUAYNA: No problem
ABU BAKR: Wait! I have a trick up my sleeve! Behold my great general George Patton!!!
CETSHWAYO: (Kills George Patton) Well...that was easy
ABU BAKR: It wouldnt have been so easy if your Swordsmen didnt keep attacking my city!
PERICLES: Your fault for not putting up better defences
JOAN: So...theres only three units left in the city...
PERICLES: Competition?
DEGANAWIDA: Yeah!
ALL: Rush attack!!!!!
ABU BAKR: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! (Dies)
MONTEZUMA: Hah! That was easy!
CETSHWAYO: Who got the city?
HUAYNA: I did!
PERICLES: Darn!
HUAYNA: Don't worry, your still ahead of me in points
PERICLES: Oh, ok
JOAN: Well! That war went faster than I expected!
DEGANAWIDA: Yeah
CETSHWAYO: Yep
HUAYNA: mmhmm
ALL: ...
MONTEZUMA: Well! I gotta go home then!

(Carbuncle Hut. Enter Pericles, Advisors, and Afonso)

AFONSO: Pericles! I have an offer for you!
PERICLES: Yeah? What is it?
AFONSO: Let me become your vassal!
NICOLAOS: (To Pericles) Sire! This is a very important decision! It-it could affect your diplomatic status with everyone! Our whole civilization hangs in the balance! Think it over! Choose wisely!
PERICLES: Deal!
NICOLAOS: I said think it over!
AFONSO: Cool! I guess I'll be hanging out around here more often now!

(Exit Afonso)

SPYROS: Was that the best idea?
PERICLES: Him becoming our vassal?
SPYROS: No! Him hanging out around here!

(Carbuncle Castle. Enter Nicolaos)

NICOLAOS: Hmm...this here...and that there...and perfect!

(Enter Pericles and Spyros)

PERICLES: Whoa! What is this?
NICOLAOS: I've upgraded the hut to a castle!
SPYROS: Alriiiiiight! Now were living in style!

(Enter Mira)

MIRA: I couldn't find the hut...
NICOLAOS: Because the hut is gone!
MIRA: The hut is gone????? But that was our palace! Oh no! Our civilization has died!
PERICLES: Uhh...
MIRA: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(Exit Mira)

PERICLES: So...
SPYROS: You can tell her
NICOLAOS: Have you checked the diplomatic things about Afonso being our vassal?
PERICLES: Huayna is pleased with him and Jona is friendly with him. There, I checked.
NICOLAOS: What about everyone else?
PERICLES: I dunno
NICOLAOS: O_o
PERICLES: I should get Huayna to attack Ramkhanhuang
NICOLAOS: I think you spelt that wrong
PERICLES: Whatever, serves him right for having such a difficult name
SPYROS: I've sent the troops out to Bangkok
PERICLES: Why?
SPYROS: Were in war with Ramkhuanghag...Rakhanghuangh...Ramghamkuan...ARGH! It's from having Afonso as our vassal
PERICLES: Alright, lets go to war again

(Carbuncle Castle. Enter Pericles and Advisors)

SPYROS: Pericles! About the war...
PERICLES: Whats up
SPYROS: That Siamese guy died before our army even reached Bangkok
PERICLES: How boring
SPYROS: Joan of Arc got Bangkok
NICOLAOS: What shall we do now?
PERICLES: Were gonna stop Naghualism
NICOLAOS: Were attacking their Holy City?!??!?
PERICLES: Yeah, this shall be our grand battle. Start spamming alot of troops
SPYROS: Whoa! A big war! This is gonna be fun!

(Carbuncle Castle. Enter Pericles and Nicolaos)

NICOLAOS: Pericles! I have bad news!
PERICLES: How bad?
NICOLAOS: Very! Justinians culture has taken our iron!
PERICLES: Making the capture of the Naghualism Holy City more important
NICOLAOS: They have iron?
PERICLES: Yep. And I had just finished building all the units. All we need to do now is wait for them to reach the attack spot
NICOLAOS: Very good. I'll oversee that

(Thebes. Enter Pericles and Advisors)

PERICLES: Alright! Were gonna do this! Were gonna take over the Naghualism Holy City!
SPYROS: Our biggest war yet! The whole world will be wanting our blood when this is over
MIRA: Also, Deganawida destroyed the Ethiopians
PERICLES: Wow, theres much little civilizations left now
SPYROS: One more time, are you sure you want to do this?
PERICLES: I'm positive
NICOLAOS: If I die, make sure you find someone as smart as me to become your new City and Tech advisor!
PERICLES: You won't die!
SPYROS: Treat this war like all the others
NICOLAOS: Yeah...like...all the others
SPYROS: And Pericles will probably be most likely to die
PERICLES: By Suppiluliuma?
SPYROS: No, by everyone else
PERICLES: Be happy I decided not to raze the city like I originaly planned
SPYROS: Yeah we need that iron
PERICLES: So! Is everyone ready?
SPYROS: Completely
NICOLAOS: Whoo...ready
MIRA: Lets do this!
PERICLES: OK! LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Hattusas the Naghualism Holy City. Enter Pericles and Advisors)

PERICLES: Quick check, who can we bring into this war?
NICOLAOS: Only the French would agree to that
PERICLES: Really? Sweet! Drag em in!
NICOLAOS: Alright, Paris isnt too far from here

(Exit Nicolaos)

MIRA: Master? You sure you want to go through with this?
PERICLES: Yeah...everyone is busy in a war. No one will help Suppiluliuma
MIRA: Except the French, the only people that is not occupied
SPYROS: But they are friendly with you! I'm sure Jona wont attack you for declaring war on the holy city
PERICLES: I'm trying to teach myself that I can't trust anybody
MIRA: But you trust so many people!
PERICLES: Yeah, my teachings are failing

(Enter Nicolaos and Joan)

JOAN: Your really declaring war on the Naghualism holy city?
PERICLES: Yup!
JOAN: Your crazy
PERICLES: Your crazier for joining me
JOAN: I'm just going along with you so that you won't think I may declare war on you for attacking the Holy City
PERICLES: How did you know I was thinking that!
JOAN: I'm just THAT good
NICOLAOS: Actually...we were behind that tree
JOAN: ...
PERICLES: So...you want me to give you something for this?
JOAN: I was gonna do it for free...but now that you asked me...
PERICLES:
JOAN: I want 90 gold
PERICLES: Deal
JOAN: Alright! Lets get this war started!

(Enter Suppiluliuma)

SUPPILULIUMA: Pericles! I don't suppose that you have finally decided to give up your silly religion and join Naghualism?
PERICLES: Actually, I was wondering if your head would look good on a pole
SUPPILULIUMA: Let me go check

(Exit Suppiluliuma)

PERICLES: Your kidding me right?
JOAN: Let's just attack this city already
PERICLES: Fine...fine
MIRA: Pericles! Before you begin, we built the Parthenon! You can see it in this screenshot of our city
PERICLES: What does it do?
MIRA: It gives culture and spreads Hellenism
NICOLAOS: It's the Hellenism Wonder. We are lucky that our civilization managed to build it
MIRA: Yeah! We can max out all its capabilities!
PERICLES: Alright. Now you should go before the blood begins
MIRA: Eww! Blood!

(Exit Mira and Nicolaos)

SPYROS: Ready?
JOAN: Yeah
PERICLES: Lets go!

(Attack is commenced. Enter Suppiluliuma)

SUPPILULIUMA: Haha! Great tactic to distract me then attack me!
PERICLES: That wasent a tactic! Your just stupid!
SUPPILULIUMA: Unfortunatly for you, I have a tactic as well!

(Walls come out of the ground surrounding Hattusas and keeping out the Greek and French army)

JOAN: What the hell?
PERICLES: We gotta bombard this! It's a city gatehouse!
SPYROS: We need to get the cities defences to 25% before we can attack!
PERICLES: Alright! Catapults! Go!
CATAPULT 1: Yes sir!

(The walls of the city gatehouse are sieged)

MAN: Suppiluliuma! Our city cannot stand much longer!
SUPPILULIUMA: Quick! I must retreat to my palace!
MAN: But sir! Your people need you here!
SUPPILULIUMA: I need to protect what we hold in the Palace!
MAN: Yes sir! Quickly then!

(The walls continue to be seiged. Exit Suppiluliuma)

SPYROS: The walls are crumbling!
PERICLES: I got my sword
JOAN: Me too. I'm ready when you are
CATAPULT 1: Pericles! The defences are down!
PERICLES: Ok Catapults! Rush them!

(The Catapults go down to the city and attack. 3 of them die)

SPYROS: Pericles! We lost 3 catapults!
PERICLES: I guess its our turn then! Vultures! Swordsmen! This is our moment!
GREEK ARMY: Yeah!
PERICLES: LETS ATTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
ALL: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

(Hattusas. Enter Pericles, Joan, Spyros, and alot of people fighting)

PERICLES: Spyros! How are we doing!
SPYROS: Just a bit more, Pericles!
JOAN: Look! Re-inforcements!
HITTITE SWORDSMAN: We shall never let our holy city fall to the likes of the Hellenists!
SPYROS: Pericles! 2 fresh catapults, a swordsman, and a longbowman all spawned in Hattusas!
PERICLES: Bring in the last 3 catapults we have! What's their status?
SPYROS: They are all at green level health!
PERICLES: Good! How about our great general?
SPYROS: David Dixon Porter has been upgraded to Morale I! He now gives 5% strength to all units!
PERICLES: Have the catapults attack!
SPYROS: Catapults! Attack!

(The catapults attack)

PERICLES: Alright! Should be easy from here!
SPYROS: Wait Pericles! Where are you going!
PERICLES: I'm off to find Suppiluliuma!
JOAN: I'm coming with you!
PERICLES: Whatever you like.

SUPPILULIUMA: Are you going to fight me or what?
PERICLES: I was just waiting for you!

SUPPILULIUMA: Wait! I must tell you something first!
PERICLES: ...what?
SUPPILULIUMA: It's about your friend over there
JOAN: !
PERICLES: Go on...
JOAN: No! Don't listen to him! He's trying to lie to save his life!
SUPPILULIUMA: That girl! She's using you! You can't trust her!
PERICLES: You! Don't you dare speak about her like that! (Kills Suppiluliuma)
SUPPILULIUMA: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh...(Dies)
JOAN: Whew!
PERICLES: Jona?

JOAN: Well I love to stay but I have to go back to Paris

(Exit Joan)

PERICLES: (Sigh)
SPYROS: Pericles?
PERICLES: Huh? Whazzawhatsawhat?
SPYROS: Did you take care of Suppiluliuma?
PERICLES: Of course I did!
SPYROS: Alright. The city is in our control, I worry about Madrid being so close to us
PERICLES: Those Spanish?
SPYROS: Yeah, they might take our iron
PERICLES: I think we should give our army a rest for now
SPYROS: Sounds good. I'm up for that

SPYROS: But you said we were gonna have a break!
PERICLES: And we are! Let's make all our citizens happy before we do anything else.
SPYROS: Well...I'm happy we captured the last of the holy cities!
MIRA: Well...Charlemange is still the holy Taoist, and Mansa is still the holy Judist
PERICLES: We'll worry about them another day. Why dont we adopt pacifism for a while?
NICOLAOS: Ok. I'll get to that

(Hattusas. Enter Pericles, Advisors, and Pacal)

MIRA: Master! We've managed to get more people to convert to Hellenism! And no one is converting back to Naghualism!

PERICLES: What the? Why?
PACAL: I don't really know actually

PERICLES: Which is quickly dwindling
SITTING BULL: Shat up! We are in 3 wars so I'll make this quick!
