This is pretty sad that no one seems to like make civ stories for this game. For civ three that was one of the highlights to visiting the forums. I don't know how many people will read this or respond to this, but ill post it for my enjoyment.

Chapter 1
I loaded up my caravel with a pioneer unit and a veteran soldier. My first idea was to find the coast of south america and use it to find the caribean.
finding the coast I continued to sail along seeing some scattered Incan settlements. eventually I made contact with the first indians.
Many turns later I spot islands coming off south america and I start to head for the middle of the caribean. I believe by now, most of the other europeans have settled on the west coast of Brazil or america. Oh well, the spaniards have a better plan. I find this land mass:
and i name it Cuba. I settle my first city and call it Havana. I plan to use it as a springboard for conquests and further colonization. The romans made the mediteranean sea the roman lake, well i am going to make the caribean a spanish lake and the atlantic a spanish ocean. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I eventually met the dutch, and got from them a free borders agreement. I am hoping to keep on good terms with them, because i believe they have a colony ringing the caribean in north america. I don't want to have to battle them or have them start building privateers so i will have to watch out for them.
I keep havana producing tobaco because i need to make roughly 1000 gold to buy horses. I plan to use the horses and my veteran soldier to make a veteran cavalry unit and use it to conquer the americas. so i send out my caravel to explore the caribean a little bit. after sailing back to europe to pick up a veteran silver miner and selling some of my colonial goods, i have a decently detailed map of the islands of the Caribean.
On first return visit back to Havana, I see a french caravel and I make contact. I get a world map from the french for 30gold and my world map. No Problem, because i need to avoid the other civs colonies because later i have to dodge privateers. Why does everyone always want to put the spanish down? Anyways, here is a map of the french colonies so far:
After buying horses and bringing back a free colonist to havana, I convert my veteran soldier into a cavalry and ship him to latin america to explore. The year is 1525. As I make contact with Logan, I see someone else has already made limited contact with him, as I only find one treasure in his cities. After getting decent idea of where most of logans military units are, I position my conquistidor on a mountain facing logans westernmost city, while hiding my treasure (estimate worth at 1800 gold), with the invasion to begin in the year 1531. Here is a map of the territory i am going to conquer:
