Justinian: We're doomed! Doomed! There is no way Adrainople can fight off Longbowman! There archers!
Anna: We're only a few turns from Feudalism, so our archers won't be that way for long.
Justinian: They'll be dead before then!
Theodora: Dead? Five archers can hold off Longbowman....right Belisarius?
Belisarius: They have a 100% boost in strength due to the city, promitions, and the hill it was founded on. Five should beat about thirteen.
Theodora: We need that city for our economy to survive.
Justinian: LEt us see if he Wang Kon will want peace.
Wang Kon: Come to grovel at my feet again, eh? Well, I'll give you peace if you keep grovel and:
Justinian: Fool! No peace, I will never bow to someone not of my faith!
Wang Kon: Fine. But remember, I offered you a way for peace!
Belisarius: The Battle is starting!
Justinian: I'm going to have Anna take many screenshots so-

Justinian: Well, as long as we get Sankore.

Belisarius: We won!

The villians of the world: Joao, Wang Kon
Justinian: How goes the religious subjugation of the Dutch?
Theodora: Bad. We couldn't find Amsterdam and we've so far spread Christianity to minor cities
Anna: If that isn't bad enough, we are WAY too small for this stage of the game. We only got 6 or maybe 7 cities.
Justinian: WHA! We're Doomed! DOOMED! We can't recover from Anti-Rexing, its consistently incurable!
Belisarius: More bad news: Korea is raising the peace rate 5 gold almost every other turn!
Justinian: The evil three turn swordsman spam!
Anna: Joao and Willem have been keeping us afloat!
Belisarius: WE've got to something dramatic.....
Justinian: I think its time I came up with another brilliant plan. The Englands are Christian, right?
Theodora: The English are Christian, and Joao has converted to Buddhism. Cyrus has founded Taosim
Justinian: Predictible chap.... Even better...... I think its time we sent in the spies!
Belisarius: SPIES! We don't do espionage, man!
Justinian: We "do" religion....these will be religious spies. For the Byzantine Grand Plan, the first Phase calling for complete Christian spread!
Justinian: Our spies will infiltrate four heathen cities of Byzantium and Dutchland and spread the great religion. Constantinople will be the brick that break the Buddhist back, sending in one missionary! Bye-Bye Buddhist neighbor! ALl for the measley, covered cost of 31 gold! We will send Willem into a revolution he can't ignore! Who knows, maybe he'll build some missionaries!
Belisarius: LOVELY.....now to the important stuff, a wayward Korean has given us:
Justinian: To Adrianople whil-

Justinian: I went over to Willy, and he'll convert for 155 gold.
Anna: Are we going to do it?
Justinian: Heavens no, he'll convert anyway!
Theodora: Are we doing it too?
Justinian: Yes. We convert now! Phase 2, full speed ahead.

Theodora: We're now Christians!
Belisarius: We razed a barb city.

BelisariuS: But east of Constantinople isn't safe! It is where Hannibal is invading. Speaking of him, he is our only major threat as Kon's failed attack on our westernmost city failed.
Theodora: Well that is great but we have a visitor!
Charlemange: Adopt Vassalage or die.
Justinian: I'm spiritual, so I huess that couldn't hurt.... but while I'm at:
Anna: Good enough deal, it should allow us to conquer korea, as their army has not teched in military.
Belisarius: Well, Hannibal is sending a more medieval stack at us...we'll lose some good me there!
Justinian: WE're Doomed DOOMED! That thing is huge!
Belisairus: Yes...but Leonidas should preserve us to kill the Phonecian nother day.
Anna: Maybe at Industrialism.....
Justinian: Or sooner. Byzantium will strike hard and Hannibal will rue the year he decided to attack us
Thoeodra: We attacked him first, remember
JustiniaN: Yes, but we bought peace and he attacked again. It will look okay in the history books.....

Well, no new update today. I haven't played further in this game, and the story as caught up to the present. Next update is Friday at the earliest, for now (as I have my first Prince win in my reach in a Carthage game no less)! By then, I should have been able to retell some interesting happenings. If you haven't noticed, I updated the Table of Contents. For now, I'll respond to a few questions:
When you add an attachment, open the thumbnails and click on the desired image that appears in the drop down menu. It should show that image when you submit your reply.
Which is why I go by views over posts

I played today until the 1850s. The Byzantine (actually lack thereof) ship is sinking, and I'm the only one onboard. I am the world's ONLY inland nation, which means no colonization of the New World. The Byzantine Grand Plan had a 'minor' target change, and while I won great plunder, I plummeted technologically. Joao completed Broadway, (With a GE) while I was on Steam Power. Friday I will post two saves, one before my invasion of England, and the other at the story spot. I hope you, the readers will play some of them and salvvage the disarray I"m in. Expect updates on Wednesday and Friday. This story will be back on plan this week.

Justinian: WE'RE doomed! DOOMED! Theodora is in Adrianople!

Belisarius: And if that same leader hadn't made me a figurehead.... ( A negative one at that)
Justinian: And MAYBE if that same leader had chosen better advisors....
Belisarius: Then maybe we wouldn't have this problem!
Anna: I would normally be fine with this, but we need tht city for the research and wealth!
Justinian: So, this means mans peace with Carthage? Never!

Bad news......remember how I said I was going to post saves......I was wrong. You see, as I was doing it, the folder became corrupted 
:
So, POOF! Just like last time..... Luckily, I managed to have overlook to move 1 file post-war, and one file pre-war when I moved everything. The second one is almost 1 turn before the war, I saved for a wonder, THe secon was saved post-war, in the 1700. I'm not going to risk posting these. I don't want to lose these files too. That will make my urge to throw this computer across the room slightly more unbearable.
I don't know the how it happened...one moment I was moving files, the next thetre was a problem., I close that window go into the folder again and it says the file isn't there.
