My first civ story! (and first post on this forum)

I'm going to do Earth 18 Civs as Mali, on Prince difficulty. Since I'm very new to this, any feedback on improvements would be appreciated.



Mansa: Time for the founding of the glorius nation of Mali!
Joe: Wait! I thought you agreed we were calling it Joeland, and how come we didn't stay in Carthage?
Mansa: Too bad! I'm the leader, your my servant!
Joe: Servant? I thought I was a Royal Duke of Timbuktu
Mansa: Fine, your a 'royal' servant. Happy? Now, hurry up! Go get Kris!
Kris: What is it sir?
Mansa: How is our starting position?
Kris: Not so good sir, we have but one hill, and a huge amount of flood plains and desert.
Mansa: Dang it! I knew we should have stayed in Carthage!
Joe: ...maybe if you'd listen to me...
Kris: ...we would be in a state of anarchy and destruction
Mansa: Very wise words Kris, you may just get a promotion soon...
Joe: What! I've been working for you for 30 years and I never got one!
Mansa: Servants can't be promoted. Stop complaining, and go over into the city, we are building a worker! Poor unlucky souls won't get a break for 6000 years.
Joe: Uh... who did you choose?
Mansa: You'll find out VERY soon...
Joe: Actually, it could be nicer than working as your "royal servant"
Mansa: Well, if you really are enjoying working with me, I suppose you can stay. We'll have so much fun!
Joe: NO! Send me to work with the slaves!
Mansa: Nah. You'd just laze around all day. Here, I'll be able to make sure your working a lot more than those slaves ever will!
Mansa: Now! You two go inform the warrior to explore, we need to find that tribal village we saw earlier next to Carthage! We're going to burn it to the ground!
Joe: *groans* Yes sir.
Kris: Will do.

Welcome to the Civ4 S&T forums =)

We're always eager to see what stories newcomers can come up with!

(Also, Los Altos? Bay Area represent! :D)
 
Welcome to the forums! :band: :band: :band: :band:

We won't eat you, of course. :mischief:

If anyone tells you that they are more epic than I am, they are lying. Especially if the person's name is Tambien. :D
 
If you're wondering where that came from, most of it is from the first post I ever read on one of my own topics- SK's "welcome to CFC" post at the beginning of Eternal Empire. I added the last part after the Epic Wars.
 
Ok.
THE EPIC WARS

A long time ago on a forum infinitely close to this one...
The Epic people were in power. MoreEpicThanYou was known throughout the forum as the most epic person in the universe. But then... Tambien came. Tambien was an evil person who believed that he was more epic than MoreEpicThanYou. War ensued. Hundreds of smilies were deployed. In the end, MoreEpicThanYou won, and peace was restored to the forums. :D
 
Part 1 of Update

Mansa: Hahaha!
Joe: Random laughing again sir?
Mansa: Yep! We burnt down the tribe in Carthage!
Joe: What? Why can't we a peaceful nation?
Mansa: Because I rule the nation, and I'm not peaceful... :satan:
Joe: I suppose I know that better than anyone...
Kris: Sir, the warriors that destroyed the village report that they have discovered a new technology, Agriculture
Mansa: Excellent!
Kris: And, Basil reports he has found a new civilization
Mansa: Really? Bring the leader in, maybe if we kidnap him, we can get a ransom...
Joe: But sir! That would be a violation of diplomatic protocol!
Mansa: Diplomatic protocol my ass, It's kidnapping time!

*Caesar walks in*

Caesar: Hello, weak vassal, I, am Julius Caesar, great leader of Rome. Care for some salad?
Mansa: Salad:yumyum:
Caesar: Yep, I named this salad after my last name
Mansa: Well,than if you agree to pay us salad as tribute, we won't kidnap you :D
Caesar: I suppose... Wait! You were going to kidnap me! *sprints out of the room*
Mansa: Dang! Next time he comes, he'll have too many guards for me to get him!
Joe: It wouldn't surprise me if everyone hates us after meeting Mansa...
Kris: There is another leader coming too

*Basil walks in*

Basil: Hello sir, a leader by the name of Hatshepsut has arrived

*Hatshepsut and two Egyptian guards walks in*

Hatshepsut: Surely the gods have smiled upon you, Mansa Musa, for they have led you to me!
Mansa: Yeah... We Malinese don't believe in gods
Hatshepsut: Really, that's rather uncivilized
Mansa: Well, us malinese live on a higher standard of living than egyptians
Hatshepsut: Ha! Us Egyptians are an elite class compared to the savage Malinese!
Mansa: That's it! :mad: Let's kidnap her instead!
Hatshepsut: What??? Guards, escort me away from this barbarian ruler

*guards and Hatshepsut exit*

Joe: Uh... You started 2 diplomatic crises in 10 minutes
Mansa: Well, it isn't my fault, Hatshepsut had it coming! Let's make her our next war target!
Basil: Sounds like a good idea sir. We are almost done with the technology of Archery, as soon as we are done, we will start mass producing Skirmishers!
Mansa: You see, this is why I'm the :king: No one can do it better!
Joe: Sure...:shake:

Part 2 of Update

Basil: Mansa, I bring good news
Mansa: Yeah! What is it???
Basil: We have discovered the technology of archery
Mansa: Awesome! I can't wait until I can burn Hatshepsut's city to the ground! Then, all nations will fear me, and Caesar will give me an infinite supply of salad!
Basil: Is that one of your top reasons for this war?
Mansa: Of course Basil, isn't it obvious
Joe: Maybe to psychopathic leaders...
Mansa: [pissed] What was that???
Joe: Um... I was talking about Hatshepsut!
Kris: Sure you were...
Joe: Shut up! I don't want to die!
Mansa: You live, but I expect you to help fight against the egyptians
Joe: What? I have no combat experience at all
Mansa: Exactly, we'll lure you in as bait for the enemy :mischief:
Joe: What!!! Please, I beg forgiveness!!! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
Mansa: Too bad! The skirmishers and warriors are about to attack Thebes, and your going to help.
Joe: Why me???
Mansa: Because you are the only malinese citizen we can afford to sacrifice
Basil: Unforunately, sir, the army has already begun there attack, and Joe won't be able to reach Thebes on time
Mansa: Dang!
Joe: Yes I live!
Mansa: ...for another week
Joe: Uh...
Mansa: Enough of this, Basil, how is the attack going?
Basil: According to the latest information from the generals, the skirmishers have overcome the first line of Egyptian Defenses.

*general 1 walks in*

General: That's old news now. We just captured the city, and we imprisoned Hatshepsut.
Mansa: Excellent job general! Now I would like you to train this servant...
Joe: What! You'll never catch me! *run's out of the palace*
General: Should I follow him?
Mansa: Nah, him leaving is all part of my plan. I figure that whatever empire he ends up in will in some way, be harmed by his presence.
Kris: Brilliant idea!
Mansa: I'm full of them. Now general, take me to Thebes, I want to go talk to the prisoner...
 
Surprise short update!

Basil: Hatshepsut is staying in this cell
Mansa: Ok then, I'm going in!

*Walks into cell*

Hatshepsut: Grrr
Mansa: Sure don't look so high and mighty now do you?
Hatshepsut: Grrr! You didn't even send a person to announce you had declared war!
Mansa: If you haven't figured out, I'm not a fan of diplomatic protocol
Hatshepsut: I doubt you are a fan of any type of protocol...
Mansa: So true, now I will stop taunting you if you admit the Egyptians are puny slaves and the Malinese are mighty warriors
Hatshepsut: No way!
Mansa: Guards, sacrifice her in that pit next to my palace
Hatshepsut: What??? NO! Don't! I admit the egyptians are puny slaves and the Malinese are mighty warriors!
Mansa: Ha! I knew that would work
Hatshepsut: Damn!

*Mansa leaves room*

Basil: Sir, another leader has arrived in your palace in Thebes
Mansa: Very well, I will go talk to him... But first, I must ask, does he have any guards??? :satan:
Basil: Um... Well...
Mansa: Does he?
Basil: No
Mansa: Ha! I finally get to kidnap someone! This will be fun! *walks into palace*
Saladin: Greetings Mansa Musa, It's an honor to meet you! May the heavens bestow upon you an empire only slightly less glorious than mine. I mean that sincerely.
Mansa: Well, that golden hat I could sell, an than I could ransom him off...
Saladin: Um... perhaps I should leave...

*Saladin walks out*

Mansa: Oh well, at least he isn't suspicious
Basil: Right...
Kris: Sir! I report we have discovered the technology of mysticism
Mansa: How does that help me?
Kris: Well... We can build monuments of you now
Mansa: Excellent work! Start building one of me in Thebes!
Kris: Yes sir *leaves room*

*Julius Caesar enters room with 50 guards*

Mansa: Hi Julius Caesar old buddy, old pal! Mind keeping those guards outside the palace...
Caesar: Um... No... Well, I have come to offer you open borders with the mighty Roman Empire
Mansa: Accepted
Caesar: Very good

*Caesar walks out*

Mansa: This is a good development! Now I can go into his land to go into his land to kidnap him and it will actually be legal!
Basil: Oh great...

They had 3 warriors. I've noticed that whenever I've played as Mali in the past, Julius Caesar always attacks me...

In my Mali game ( see my signature ) I attacked Rome. With skirmishers ;)
