The liberal
Based on a game of Civilization II Test Of Time
Introduction
Hello =) This is a story based on a game of Civ II ToT I was playing.
The game was Extended Original, random large map, Difficulty: Warlord,
7 civs (includes aliens), Roving bands of barbarians, standard rules.
I am the male leader Louis the XIV of the French.
Chapters are in one hour increments (ie chapter one will be hours 0-1 in the game),
so that I can post this before it's actualy done
.
Enjoy, and when the story's complete (or before, if you like) take the poll, and
give me your feedback
.
P.S. Don't chew me out for a boring story, I'll try to put more dialog into the next chapter
Chapter 1
It was 4000 B.C. when it all started. We had previously discovered Roads, Mining and Irrigation,
and our tax rates had been set to 30%, 50%, and 20% of taxes, science, and luxury, respectively.
2 decades later, we had our first city: Paris. We were already building armies of warriors
to defend our Capital from attack, and creating an alphabet! Our civilization was thriving.
2 more decades later, we had completed out armie, and had built a fort in which our armies
could reside.
Now 8 decades passed without us growing, but just when we had lost all hope, we finished a second,
but meager army.
"Alright men. Our job is to explore the unknown territory around Paris, ang we'll need our
wits about us." They had heard dreadful tales of barbarian raiding parties waiting in ancient
runes to strike at unsuspecting armies.
"But sir, what if we're taken by surprise by a barbarian army?"
"Simple," said the sergeant "we die with honor.". Luckily, he wasn't held to his word.
They went about exploring the continent without incident, while workers at Paris made progress
on what they called 'barracks'.
Soon, we finished our Alphabet and had new choices open to us. Our wise men chose to start work
on writing. After all, what good was an alphabet if you couldn't put it to good use?
Though our king, Louis XIV, said that our funds were enough, he couldn't conceal the truth:
We only had 10 coins. 10, measly, miserable, little coins.
It was then, in 3740, that our army sent out to investigate the surounding country, discovered
a valuable deposit of metal that was worth 100 gold coins! Along with that, the population was
steadily increasing and, acording to travelers, we were the 3d most advanced civilization in the world.
We then built our long awaited, barracks. We could build better warriors than ever before!
And so we did. We told the old warrior unit to go help the other explore, and gave the new ones the fort.
We figured out how to use a pen and paper later, and began to write maps.
Poplation steadily increasing, we decided we would need a new city soon, so we started training settlers.
Ironicaly, as soon as we finished teaching the settler the basics of settling, one of our armies discovered
an ancient civilization that was willing to help us, thusly we founded the city of Tours.
Paris, building it's library, Tours building some barracks (with the old army guarding it),
we sent a settler out to build a road between the two cities. Our armies having combed the entire continent,
we were quite sure our settler would be OK.
We discovered Map making, and started working on bronze working. We found more metal deposits.
It was then that we received word that the French were #1 happiest civilization on the planet!!! We rejoiced then.
We discovered Bronze working and went on to Ceremonial Burial.
The population was groing ever larger, thusly our scientists taking on new pupils, we discovered new advances
faster than ever. We discovered Ceremonial burial. Luckily, we never had to use the knowlage once.
We started work on warrior code, while we started training Phalanxes in Tours, and completed the road from Paris
to Tours! Paris built it's library, and started working on a light house.
It would take far too long to describe the many events that happened in the following years, so I'll narrow it
down and summarize it:
>250 gold in treasuries
>Discovered Ceremonial Burial, started work on Warrior Code
>Built phalanx in Tours, started work on temple in Tours
>Population increase in Paris, population increase in Tours some time ago
>Built temple in Tours, started work on library in tours
>Discovered Warrior Code, started work on Code of Laws, St. Augustine completes epic history:
The most powerful civ in the world, french come in 7th
>New tax rate: 60%, 30%, and 10% of wealth goes to Taxes, Science, and Luxuries respectively
After all of that, which took decades by the way, Paris built the Light House. Our first wonder of the world!
Then we started building our first ship. At the same time, Tours was done with the temple they'd been building,
and started training an archer. I skipped a few advances, so try to stick with me. We deiscovered warrior code,
code of laws and were now working on Literacy. Tours sent their archer En route to Paris, to board the ship,
and the settler finished irrigating the land around paris and went to board the ship as well.
As the ship left port, many, many people were lined along the docks. Some were just saying goodbye, others
wanted desperately to go with them. They watched the ship sail over the horizon, and then it was gone.
They went back to their buisness, going between Paris and Tours to tell tales of what they had seen on the road,
their only comfort was the two sentry guards at the very middle of the road, guarding from all those who may attack.
The End.

If you want the summary I wrote in-game, PM me for it. Or, if it's requested by enough people, I
can post it here. TTYS
