I've posted a few stories before (Chronicles of the Philosopher Kings) but this will by far be my most ambitious story. I write them in an expository fashion, not like a first person narrative.

I always play as "The Philosopher Kings," which is particularly appropriate since I've used the Greeks through most of my time with Civ3, and will again in this game. You'll notice I don't use standard city names. All the cities I establish are named after loved ones. For example, I always make sure that the city of Claudia, my capital, is number one on the F11 screen since it's named after my wife; Atticus and Alyssa are my kids. For the most part, I play honorably, only declaring war when necessary for victory--i.e. to secure some critical resource or knock down a run-away juggernaut power.

I've got to go back to work next week, so this is my last hurrah with Civ for quite a while...maybe my last game before Civ4...so I hope anybody tuning in enjoys the story.
 
Just a quick question. I am going to write a game story. Do you mind if I copy some of your style in writing this story?
 
Sure pal, knock yourself out. Glad you're enjoying it. It's almost as much fun writing it out as playing it. I think that's the appeal of Civ, that these stories are being generated in our heads as we go anyway...it seems only natural to write them down.
 
BOO!!!! :mad: Darn Vikings and Persians!!! Don't you just hate them!??!?!?! What's next?!?!?!? What happened?!?!?!? Tell me tell me tell me now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Great story Helmling! Really enjoyed it. :)
