The departure of the former leader leaves a great battle between ten great warriors. Eventually the greatest of them all arises victorious, and declares that there can be only one.
(0) 1500BC: Our wise men are ordered to increase their research efforts to the maximum that our empire can afford. We sell Mysticism to India for 35 gold, and also sell contact with India to Romans for 43 gold.
(1) 1475BC: Our noble Impi attacks a savage barbarian encampment to the south east of Zimbabwe, while another disperses one just in time, as an Indian warrior was approaching it.
(2) 1450BC: Out scouts discover Mathematics from a group of noble savages calling themselves the Circassians. Meanwhile, our workers complete the great Iron road, which will allow us to produce strong weapons.
(3) 1425BC: Destroy another encampment of brutes as our treasury swells. However, rampaging hoardes backstab our scout and he is lost. A group of our people gather at Zimbabwe to set off for new lands, we rally our people to produce further settlers.
(4) 1400BC: (The great one scratches himself idly.)
(5) 1375BC: (The great one almost nods off until falling forward, he pricks himself on his spear and is awakened.)
(6) 1350BC: Noble people of Bapedi prepare to settle new lands, we rally the populace to join out impi military. Also, we discover the secrets of writing, and begin to learn Map Making. Since we have the cash, we establish an embasy with all those we know.
(7) 1325BC: (The great one retreats to his private quarters for unknown activities.)
(8) 1300BC: (The great one orders his impis to perform a dance around his palace for entertainment.)
(9) 1275BC: More settlers gather in Zimbabwe, production there is turned towards our first place of worship, a temple. Barbarians slaughter a worker near Ulundi.
(10) 1250BC: We take revenge on the barbarian raiders.
(11) 1225BC: Intombe is formed near a supply of dyes, temple construction is begun.
(12) 1200BC: Isandhlwana finishes Impi, starts a second one.
(13) 1175BC: Ulundi gathers forth another band of settlers and begins on gathering still more.
(14) 1150BC: Mpondo is formed near the lake to the south of our empire. It begins work on a temple to enhance our cultural standing at our border.
(15) 1125BC: Impi at Intombe becomes elite fighting barbarians on horseback.
(16) 1100BC: Bapedi completes another impi and focuses on a band of settlers.
(17) 1075BC: Romans want to swap territory maps, but we refuse. Germans want to swap world maps, and again we refuse.
(18) 1050BC: Ngome founded on the site of a herd of wild horses on our coast, barbarians dispersed in the process. It begins working on a temple. Swazi founded on the coast towards the Indians, also begins on a temple.
(19) 1025BC: Ngome ransacked by barbarians, but since we only lost 18 gold, we're 7 up on the deal.
(20) 1000BC: Map making completed, construction started, but it will take our people quite some time to master (24 turns). At this news, the Great One grows tired of mortal affairs and departs this realm.
As parting words of advice, he is heard to utter that the borders to the south are now mostly set out, and that the new focus should be on ordering workers to improve our territory, and settlers to make use of our remaining land. Especially important will be completing our places of worship, as out rivals view us as a particuarly uncouth people.
