Babylon: Rise of a Dictatorship

I will be using the darkciv2 mod for BTS in civ 4. I will be playing as an oppressive ruler so beware. Also, I will try to add as much as possible but I also have other stories so just saying, updates might be far and few between sometimes. Thank you!

Subbed

The peoples of the region of Mesopotamia wanted more in life. They wanted more than just cowering from animals and migrating. They wanted a story. Before this they were lead by a group of chieftains whom used each other's different skills to determine where to migrate to next. These leaders were named by their skills, Tough Oak was known for his foraging knowledge, Running Ox was known for is hunting, Blowing Winds was good with weather patterns, and Caterpillar King was known for being the charismatic leader and speaker. One day, while investigating the mountains to the North, a terrible accident happened. While trying to view where the animals were moving, Running Ox accidentally got shoved slipped off the mountain face and fell to his death. Then, Blowing Winds got attacked by "Panthers" and his throat got sliced open. Heroically Caterpillar King attempted to save him but he was bleeding far to profusely. Stunningly, a third tragedy happened to the four of them. While getting ready to set up camp for the night, the Gods were angry at Tough Oak. They were mad that he did not try to save his friends. The Gods smote him and he got roasted alive by lightning, totally not the camp fire he had "fallen into". Caterpillar King came down the mountain in all his muscly glory and repeated the tragic happenings; he was obviously stricken with grief. He then said he had learned everything that his now passed fellow leaders knew and decided to lead on his own. Caterpillar saw a nice plot of land. There was plenty of wild boar, wild rice, and marble to establish a good base camp so they set up. Then, though, something amazing happened. They did not leave. They had plenty of food to last a long time. Caterpillar King made the decision to stay and establish a city. For obvious reasons the city was named Babylon... whatever those reasons are.

Do you want to know where Running Ox really is? No seriously, I had already moved him to the right so I said whatever

That's called, "let political opponents go away withouth any action... indeed!"

A very foreboding beginning!
I like it!

After founding the great city of Babylon, the warriors began to explore for new areas to settle and for other tribal villages to loot discover. This exploration paid off because almost instantly the warriors found some people and carefully coerced them with clubs to join Babylon.


After much attempting and studying the habits of animals, Babylonian shepherds finally perfected the art of herding. The worker division was then forced to build a pasture and fence around the wild boars that will be domesticated to the North.


Finally the Babylonians had mastered the art of killing from a distance. Now they could strike opponents down while sitting in their lawn chairs. Babylon now could defend their cities from the rest of the barbaric world. The only good non-Babylonian is a dead one.


Instantly after discovering a group of people who agreed to scout for Babylon, those scouts found a group of people squatting in the remains of a village They were carefully talked to and told they would be protected. Finally they came with the scout and agreed to settle some lands for Babylon in turn for protection. They founded a city not far to the East, known as Akkad. No one knows why but it was called that. This was the first expansion of Babylonian power and it went swimmingly.



Caterpillar King was unhappy with the dumb name of Akkad. He decided to give the name of the city meaning. He decided to name it after the world's best leader in the world and no one disagreed so he went on with his plan. He changed the name of the sign to "Welcome to Caterpillarton". Caterpillar was going to rename Babylon but then it would be impossible to explain why we were called Babylon so he left it alone.


After less 1000 years, Babylon still stood as the greatest nation in the world. It had expanded from one small settlement into two cities in this amount of time. Babylon was destined for greatness, a greatness that could not be hindered by any amount of democracy, because obviously democracy is inferior.

You know, why did your people choose the name Babylon anyways? I believe the Kingdom of Caterpillars would be a much more suitable name than the Kingdom of Babylon.

I am editing XML files Ideas for the names of the cities?

Edit: Just kidding, it screwed up I will not be doing that.

Subbing.
