Alexander's Quest [Earth18Civs]

[topsecret]

Hi everyone... This is my first story and I decided to start...
Alexander: With me, OF COURSE!
Topsecret: QUIET!
Alexander: Sorry...
Topsecret: No problem. Anyway, here is the game settings:
Map: Earth18Civs
Civilizations: 18
Victory Conditions: All, but we're going for conquest.
And now...
Alexander: HOLD IT! You forgot the difficulty...
Topsecret: The difficulty is Warlord. All tips are welcome except for...
Alexander: ...the fact I know everything?
Topsecret: No. Just no tips from you. Moving on...

The sun rises on the year 4000 BC. Since time immemorial...

​

Alexander: We've heard it 20,000,000 times already.
Topsecret: Fine. So, who do you have for advisors and citizens?
Alexander: Good Question!
Citizen ROLE CALL:
1.Settlers
2.Scouts
3.Vacant
Alexander: VACANT!?!?
Topsecret: I think you need some advisors. Anyway, don't you need a city?
Alexander:ALRIGHT, SETTLERS! Just pull your bags off and they turn into buildings! (I invented those, by the way....)
As Alexander gets the city built, the two scouts decided to go to those hills over there...



To be continued...
And don't forget to sign up as Alexander's advisor!

[Lead Paint]

I am MoreEpicThanYou, war-obsessed military adviser. Great start!

I feel our offices will overlap from time to time, seeing that my diplomatic advice usually consists of 'Declare war on that guy!'

 

[Optical]

General Olaf, Minister of Production signing in!

 

[strijder20]

I am MoreEpicThanYou, war-obsessed military adviser. Great start!

Well, it would be stupid if you are a pacifist military advisor.

 

[SamSniped]

Can I be Leiutenant Aldo Raine, Governeror of(when it comes) Sparta?

 

[brandon.herren]

Hooray for Earth 18 Civs Stories! Looks pretty good so far, can I be Brandon Herren, Cultural Advisor?

Update coming soon...
Yes, you can all be advisors

 

[topsecret]

The scouts climb the hills, unaware that just over that sea is... is...

Alexander: IS WHAT?
Topsecret: You could find out if you'd end your turn already.
Alexander: I guess so, hey... who is that mysterious man walking this way?
Mysterious Man: My name is Shotgun, and I'm here to apply for Foreign Minister.
Alexander: I'll need you to fill out this application, call our office, and wait 2 days so I can go through your paperwork...
Shotgun: WHAT?
Alexander: Of course, if you could avoid (or cause) a diplomatic crisis, you'd be hired right away...

As the two chat, a older man arrives with 20 soldiers and taps Alexander on the shoulder.



Julius Caesar: Hello, Alexander. Care for some salad? I made it myself.
Alexander: Um, no thanks... So, wha-
Shotgun eats some of the salad!
Julius Caesar: You, You, ATE MY SALAD!
Shotgun: Tasty...
Julius Caesar: You know what I'm going to do to you ALEXANDER?
Alexander: No, and I'm not planning to find out...
Julius Caesar: I'm going to have peace with you...
Alexander: Wha?
Julius Caesar: No-one has ever skipped eating my salad and lived to tell about it...
Julius Caesar and his thugs walk away.
Alexander: Shotgun... you're hired!
Shotgun: You think I could get some more salad?

I haven't played past here yet, so please wait 'til I play some more.

 

[topsecret]

Alexander: So... what now?
Shotgun: I advise (being the lowly advisor that I am) that you get more advisors...
Alexander: So how do I do that?
Shotgun: Put up this sign.
Alexander: Who's gonna see that?
Shotgun: You'd be surprised how many people see signs...
Alexander: Fine...
Ten minutes later...
Shotgun: We need workers. My back aches... Oh, the pain, the pain.
Alexander: Hey, who are those people?
Shotgun: I'd say out-of-work advisors...
Alexander: I just hope it's not Caesar again with his crazy salad antics...
Shotgun: Welcome, friends!
Stranger 1: Hello, my name is Stro-
Stranger 3: His name is Strodon.
Strodon:I'm here to apply for Fin-
Stranger 3: He's here to be your Financial Advisor.
Strodon: CHRISTOS!
Christos: Sorry...
Alexander: Strodon & Christos, you're hired.
Christos: But I didn't even apply yet!
Alexander: Your point is?
Christos: I'm a trade minister!
Alexander: GOOD! Your starting wages are 3 meals a day and a bed.
Christos: I-
Alexander: And what is this man's name?
Stranger 2: I am MoreEpicThanYou.
Alexander: Oh really? Let's take a poll from the citizens...
MoreEpicThanYou: That's my name...
Alexander: So now your name is more epic than me?
MoreEpicThanYou: Oh nevermind...
Alexander: Your hired!
MoreEpicThanYou:
Alexander: The only open position left (for now) is military advisor. So, you're military advisor...
Shotgun: You could've done that with more diplomacy...
Alexander: Why? that's your job...

More coming tommorrow!

 

[Lead Paint]

Well my name is Lead Paint, and I was shotgunning Foreign Minister... however it is kinda a kickass name I'll stick with Shotgun for this game.

Shotgun, your wise and courageous Foreign Minister, advises you to kick Caesar's butt six ways to Sunday as soon as the oppurtunity presents itself. He'll only get in the way of your expansion, anyway

 

[strijder20]

Great update.

[MoreEpicThanYou]

Actually, my name IS more epic than Alexander's.
