Special thanks to JiimBV for the name, I liked the suggestion so much I'm using it. Anyways, I'm AOS9001, if you know of me, I wouldn't be surprised. For I am the creator of the (not at all) award-winning 3000 Years of Rome: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=351554

So, what shenanigans am I up to this time? Being generally incompetent and loosing my homeland? Orchestrating the collapse of my own empire? Fighting to restore the aforementioned empire that I could have easily kept intact to make for a much more interesting game?

Nay, I'm just not going to collapse. At all. Not even once. And go for the UHV. Of the Spanish. And end sentences. Randomly. Lots of games I see are micromanaged to perfection, all for the win. As you may know, I do it differently: I play for fun and to see what happens, most of the time, the victories don't matter, I just want to start world wars and screw up history. And with that, I proudly present: From Medieval to Modern: The Spanish Empire! Special thanks to JiimBV for the name, in case you didn't catch it the first time. Let's rock.

Here we are, turn 3, all cities settled. I was inspired by other setups I've seen, and played this one before. It's really good for production, because I have almost all the tiles covered with only 3 cities. I highly recommend it.

Time goes by, nothing happens. Time gets bored and decides to throw some misfortune at me.

Stupid Portugal. You might be going: Hey, AOS, WTH? Three pictures in and it's already been like 500 years? Well, dear reader, nothing happened of interest before this.

Plague strikes, for it is many wickeds (yea, more than one!). I never really had a problem with plague as Rome, not that I remember, at least.

I think this goes here, I don't know, I uploaded in the wrong order. But cool copper, bro.

Ugh, Louis, you little creeper, you like like Gollum with a wig. If you backstab me, I'm calling in the nukes from my last game.

You see, there was a war with Portugal, because I can backstab now (since I'm a female leader this game, and double standards is one of the things AOS9001 deals best in). But basically, I took Faro from him, and cooped him up in Lisboa and the island place. I won't need to worry about him for a while yet, I don't think.

Yea, New World in the first post! What, what?! You know how it goes, so pack up my pipe because this case is closed!

My mad plaugerism (whatever it's spelled as, Google Chrome doesn't recognize words unless they're like one letter off) skills force Montezuma to be pwnt by me.

So, there you have it, I'm already invading America. Will Spain conquest the New World? Will ill-timed plague wipe out the armies and cripple the war effort? Will the frakkin' Inca workboat ruin everything as usual? Find out next time, on From Medieval to Modern: The Spanish Empire!

You should settle Madrid.

Nah, I need all the ports I can get for ships, and I can divide those central tiles to be worked by the three, four cities. Besides, I'm throwing in my own style of variation here.
 
Good to see a new story AOS. i am looking forward to the many world wars you shall create and the nuking too.
 
We can already see you encountered the Incas from the last pic's civ lists and world maps. We can also see that you didn't get the conquerers event since you're not at war with them.
 
Ahhh, my medication. Seriously, great! Can't wait for next update and I love the title JimBV!

Aww shucks guys. I love the love and I thank the thanks!

Very nice so far, but in the future, if 500 years are passing by without anything happening, make something happen. :P War = happy readers! Nevertheless, I like it.

I think France met their workboat in North America, because that's where I met them. I re-loaded though... But yea. I hate that workboat, it ruins everything!
 
Really, really good story so far. I hope that you make it to the modern age! I chuckeld a bit when you said if the French backstab you, that you'll call in the nukes from last game. Well, so much for your peace under one banner, huh.
 
you should have moved granda 1 terrioty to the west, would have made ur build better

Actually, Granada is working better than Cadiz (which is what it would be called if it was 1 west). I've played quite a few Spain games with different city placements, and so far, Granada is the best one for the southern Iberian peninsula.

Also, I meant to update yesterday, but just as I started playing, my friends and their whole soccer team showed up at my house and invited me to go see a movie. In short, I wasn't home until 10 PM, and then I got a headache and was unable to play further. So an update will come today.
 
One tile west is Seville. ;) Unless you mean going over a tile and setting on the next one.

I must have confused it with the hill tile... Anyways, I was too busy earlier to post, and yesterday I was sick again (halfway through school, too, when it came on). I might be able to post tonight, depends on how much I get done, and on how much my urge to finish my China-test run game goes. I wonder what I'm planning next...
 
I like the start of your story but it seems that the story is in slight coma currently so please if you find enough time start it again.
 
Another vote for you to continue, your story telling is entertainment at its best - you've even got me to start my own story :D
