Hello and welcome to Stranger in a Strange Land, a narrative story set in the game Civilization IV. For those who don't know and remember (which is probably everyone at this point), a few years back, I attempted to write a narrative story about an immortal, amnesiac wanderer, who found himself...

Chapter 1 He heard the sound of waves nearby. Soft, peaceful, and soothing. While he couldn't see his surroundings for now, it was clear that it was a bright, sunny day, and there was a cool, gentle breeze. It felt... nice. Almost like he could just lay here forever, feeling the breeze, hearing...

For those who are wondering, I've decided to change the way I'm writing this. I'm going to wait to update again until I have written all updates in the prologue, then I'll come back and upload one update every week. I've been under some crap the past week or so, and I apologize for that. I don't...

Well, I got delayed in my writing of this update (I totally did not sleep until 5 PM...), so unless I get ultra motivated in the next couple of hours, this week's update should be out tomorrow. Oops. :blush: EDIT: Or not. *Sigh* I was almost finished writing the update, when my computer crashed...

Well, I certainly belong in this group, if my only finished story took about a year and a half to finish! :p

It's going to be a while. Keep in mind a couple of things. First, I'm writing it as if it's a book. Second, the backstory of the Next War mod talks about the fall of the One World Government or whatever it's called - and we haven't even reached the part of the backstory talking about its rise...

Chapter 4 (Prologue) - The Great Asian War (Part 2) The nuclear explosion of Harbin signaled to the entire world that the worst fears of most were about to come true. Across the world, militaries were put on maximum alert, people began to flee to bomb shelters, and the world began to wait for...

Next Chapter incoming soon; just got to proofread it a couple of times.

Thanks for the compliments! I appreciate it. :) And I do plan for this to be the only nuclear war in the story (at least in the background, when we get to the game itself... we'll see :evil:), and I plan on it not being world-endingly destructive. You'll see what I have in mind soon enough.

Apologies, but the update for this week will not be today, but should be out within a day or two. Maybe I'll update it for July 4th. We'll see.

Another North Carolinian? Welcome, from your friendly neighborhood Charlottean! :D

Off topic, but congrats on your 1,000th post! :)

Chapter 3 (Prologue) – The Great Asian War (Part 1) While it had many names, with some calling it World War III, the Soviet-Chinese War, the Second Great Patriotic War (mostly Russians) and some especially religious people even calling it the End Times, the name for the conflict that began on...

Thanks! There's more where that came from, I promise you that. I'm just getting started.
