This is my first story and first hemispheres map. WOW! These maps are nice, but are no walk in the park. Thanks for stopping by, please check out my monarch/marathon game on a small hemispheres map using BTS patch 3.13 and HOF mod 3.13. The first tab conatins the settings screen.
As fate would have it the tribe of green calling themselves the Ottomans one day appeared on the coast. They looked about and saw lush forests and hills and young corn growing to the north. Even more celebration unsued when the scouts reported the sighting of golden nuggets to the south.
The tribe looked to their fierce and fearless leader Suleiman and said, "Yo Sully, we are tired of wandering about. What say we get this corn to sprout?"
Having been a seafaring man from childhood, the man was eager to settle the area. He hoped to tame the coast and explore far and wide. He turned and replied, "The name is Suleiman, and if your lousy carcass wasn't needed to work the fields I'd cast you to the wolves." His face had become bright red and veins were protruding from his forehead.
A bit later, as the man regained his composure, he exclaimed with delight, "Yes, my friends, this is where we shall call home. But be wary of that western village."
And Istanbul was settled.....the tribesman were stunned to discover a rich outcropping of raw marble on the eastern coast. When news of this reached Istanbul the Planning Commissoner wondered about the marble. In fact, he was quoted as having said, "I wonder what to do with all the marble?"
The villagers to the west were happy to meet the Ottomans and in exchange for protection gave the green go-abouts a bag full of gold. Less than 60 years had passed when to the south, a settlement was discovered. Led by a man named Joao, these people also fancied the color green.
Back home in Istanbul, Sully contemplated Joao's presence. He was happy that green would be so apparent, but worried about all the Portuguese activity. He didn't want to see Joao lay claim to the soil that was righfully Ottoman. Thus it was decided to take the Ports by force......
