40 Civilizations: The Quest for Power

(Carbuncle Palace. Enter Pericles, Jona, and Advisors which also includes Spyros)

SPYROS: Yes!
MIRA: But what exactly are you advising?
SPYROS: Who knows! I’m still an advisor!
PERICLES: What’s our war plan, Hatshepsut?
HATSHEPSUT: Huayna Capac has 6 cities. Washington, Berlin, Mecca, Tlatelolco, Hamburg, and (their capital) Cuzco.
PERICLES: Ashurbanipal is going to take care of Tlatelolco because it’s right beside him, right?
HATSHEPSUT: Yeah. And Justinian was going to take Cuzco
PERICLES: Where does that leave us?
SPYROS: Everyone said that since our army is so awesome, we’ve been instructed to take down Washington, Berlin, Mecca, and Hamburg
PERICLES: What?!? Are you kidding me?
NICOLAOS: I think there’s a point where you get a little too much reputation
JONA: We can assign your great general, David Dixon Porter, to take down Washington. Then I can take whatever soldiers are well and take over Mecca
PERICLES: Terrific!
HATSHEPSUT: I’ll take the army inside and take down Berlin!
SPYROS: And I’ll take the armada and capture Hamburg!
PERICLES: I guess I’ll over see the entire war as its happening
NICOLAOS: I can join you on that
JONA: Is that everyone?
PERICLES: What are you going to do, Mira?
MIRA: I guess I’ll...stay with you?
PERICLES: Do you want to do something else?
MIRA: NO! No! I’ll speak with you about that later.....
PERICLES: Fine by me
SPYROS: Let’s get our army and head out!
NICOLAOS: Be careful!
PERICLES: Yeah!
JONA: Aren’t we always?
PERICLES: No
JONA: What?!?
PERICLES: Uhh...I meant...uhh...bye!
 
Where did you get all the cool features from? Are these just from the normal RoM release? Or is there also a submod involved? Great story! :)

:) All included in the original mod. Before the finale, I added new leaders and civ's and changed some graphics but that's about it. Maybe that's why my save crashed...
 
(Washington. Enter David and a Greek Army)

DAVID: Well...here I am...my first speaking part...my final battle. It feels strange that I have to do this alone

(Enter GGPericles)

GGPERICLES: Are you the great general David Dixon Porter?
DAVID: Uhh...yes! And you are...?
GGPERICLES: I’m the great general leading the French army! My name is Pericles
DAVID: You! You must be the great general born in Paris alot of chapters ago!
GGPERICLES: Indeed I am
DAVID: Wow! It’s a great honour to meet you!
GGPERICLES: No! The pleasure is all mine! You’re the great general who won all those Greek battles, aren’t you?
DAVID: Well...yes I am!
GGPERICLES: Then it is a great honour to work with you
DAVID: T-thank you!
GGPERICLES: Shall we take this city they call Washington?
DAVID: YES! LET’S GO!
GGPERICLES: I’m right behind you

(Hamburg. Enter Spyros and a Captain)

CAPTAIN: General Spyros! We’ve landed in Hamburg! Are you going to give the orders to attack?
SPYROS: Yes! I’m going to go on deck to get the troops in order
CAPTAIN: Before you do that, we picked up a stowaway
SPYROS: A stowaway? Who is it? Throw this person into the water!
CAPTAIN: I don’t think you should throw this stowaway in the water
SPYROS: Why not?

(Enter Mira)

SPYROS: Mira? What are you doing here?
MIRA: Pericles let me stowaway on your battleship!
SPYROS: Terrific! Even more reason to throw the stowaway overboard!
MIRA: Spyroooooooooooos...
SPYROS: Sorry! But look! A battlefield is no place for you!
MIRA: Why not?
SPYROS: Because! I don’t want you to get hurt!
MIRA: I’ll be fine! It’s not like I’m a soldier or something! I’ll just be in the medic tent or something!
SPYROS: This is not a place for you!
MIRA: Bleeeeeeagh! I’m not leaving!
SPYROS: You are the most stubborn girl I have ever met!
MIRA: And you’re the most annoying guy I have ever met!
CAPTAIN: Come on, you two, just kiss already
SPYROS: Why are you still here?
CAPTAIN: This is entertaining!
SPYROS: Wow...I feel pressured to do something now!
MIRA: I’m fine with it
SPYROS: Alright, fine

(Spyros kisses Mira)

CAPTAIN: Woohoo!
SPYROS: Your STILL here?!?
CAPTAIN: I’ll go on deck to prepare the troops, then.

(Berlin. Enter Hatshepsut and a Greek Army)

HATSHEPSUT: Preparations are complete!
GREEK RIFLEMAN: General Hatshepsut! There’s an army headed straight towards us!
HATSHEPSUT: But that army isn’t coming from Berlin!

(Enter Montezuma and an Aztec Army)

MONTEZUMA: Hey! It looks like you’re the one leading the attack on Berlin!
HATSHEPSUT: Any reason you came here?
MONTEZUMA: To help you, of course!
HATSHEPSUT: :hmm:
MONTEZUMA: Alright! Alright! Do you wanna go out with me?
HATSHEPSUT: Seriously?
MONTEZUMA: Yeah!
HATSHEPSUT: Well...! I don’t know...
MONTEZUMA: Comeon...! I’m the lovable psycho!
HATSHEPSUT: You were pretty tame in this game
MONTEZUMA: I was in the sham wow commercial!
HATSHEPSUT: No you we’re not
MONTEZUMA: Are you doing this on purpose?
HATSHEPSUT: Yeah
MONTEZUMA: So...
HATSHEPSUT: Maaaaaaaaaaybe after the war
MONTEZUMA: SCORE!
HATSHEPSUT: On second thought...
MONTEZUMA: Hey! Let’s start this war shall we?
HATSHEPSUT: Haha. Right!
BOTH: CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!

(Mecca. Enter Jona, GGPericles, and David)

GGPERICLES: We captured Washington, can you handle the rest?
JONA: Of course I can!
DAVID: But our army is down to 35% of its original power! You’re going to die!
JONA: Of course I won’t!
GGPERICLES: M’lady...please listen...you absolutely cannot die! Pericles cannot live without you!
JONA: That...is none of your business...
DAVID: You both have come so far! Don’t throw it away now!
JONA: But...we need to capture this city! For world peace!

(Enter Deganawida, Masinissa, and a GIANT army)

MASINISSA: Hey! You don’t think we were just going to let you Greeks handle the war yourselves!
JONA: Wow! That’s a huge army!
MASINISSA: A combination of Deganawida’s death stack and mine
DEGANAWIDA: If you die, Pericles will probably suicide or something
JONA: No way!
MASINISSA: Enough chatter! How about we capture this city and complete the world peace?
DEGANAWIDA: Sounds good for me!
JONA: And let’s make sure none of us dies, shall we?
DAVID: Now there’s something we can all agree on!

(Carbuncle Palace. Enter Pericles and Nicolaos)

NICOLAOS: His cities have fallen like dominoes!
PERICLES: Except one
NICOLAOS: What?
PERICLES: Cuzco is still alive
NICOLAOS: Shouldn’t have Justinian taken care of that?
PERICLES: Yeah...something is wrong over there
NICOLAOS: Are you going to...?
PERICLES: Yes. I’m going to go check it out. I have a bad feeling about this
NICOLAOS: I’m going too!
PERICLES: No...stay here...I know something is wrong and I have to do this along
NICOLAOS: Well...best of luck, sire!

(Cuzco. Enter Pericles)

PERICLES: What happened here?!? Why are the entire Byzantium army and Incan army dead?!? All of them! Not a single person alive!
SOLDIER: (groan)
PERICLES: You! Are you alive?
SOLDIER: It was horrible! A spirit! A spirit I tell you!
PERICLES: Where’s Justinian?
SOLDIER: He...he went inside! I pray to you...run...RUN...RUUUUUUUUN! (Dies)
PERICLES: My...my father...it’s a good thing I brought my Ghost Slayer! I’ll follow your final words and run into the city!

(Incan Palace)

PERICLES: Justinian!
JUSTINIAN: Uuuurgh.....
HUAYNA: MUAHAHAHAHAHA! You we’re foolish to enter this palace!
JUSTINIAN: I...thought we were friends! Why...why won’t you give up your warlike ways and accept peace?
HUAYNA: Perhaps Pericles may know
PERICLES: You’re not Huayna, are you?
HUAYNA: The real Huayna Capac died years ago! Because I killed him!!!
PERICLES: Who are you really?
HUAYNA: I am your grandfathers, sons, sons, father!
PERICLES: That means you’re my father?
HUAYNA: I said it with more pizzazz!

(Huayna Capac’s face begins to peel off like in those horror movies)

PERICLES: You...you are my father!
GILGAMESH: Your friend killed my mortal form, but no matter...because I am even more powerful as a ghost!

(Gilgamesh transforms into a gigantic humanoid made of dark clouds. He then smashes through the wall and destroys the palace. Pericles falls to the street)

PERICLES: Oof!
GILGAMESH: You cannot kill me! Not even with your ghost slayer! I am far too powerful!!!

(Pericles removes his sword and leaps at the giant monster. Gilgamesh picks up a house and hurls it at Pericles, missing by an inch. Pericles leaps onto a housetop only to have the house he was standing on fly away with a large gust of wind. Pericles lands on the ground, dazed. Gilgamesh forms lightning with his arms and flings it at Pericles. Pericles rolls out of the way, but just barely. Gilgamesh picks up another house and flings it at Pericles, but this time, Pericles has a plan. As the house flies towards Pericles, he jumps on top of it and leaps towards Gilgamesh. In one quick motion, he stab’s the monster square in the torso with his sword. But nothing happens)

GILGAMESH: HAHA! FOOL!

(Gilgamesh grabs Pericles and removes the sword)

GILGAMESH: You have to stab me in the head! Too bad you are now going to die before you can do that!
JONA: Actually... I thank you for the information!

(Jona comes out of nowhere and leaps at Gilgamesh’s head. In one quick motion, she stab’s his head.)

GILGAMESH: NO!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
JONA: Overconfidence will never get you anywhere

(Gilgamesh begins to flash rapidly. Jona lands back onto the ground and catches Pericles when Gilgamesh releases his grip on him. Gilgamesh screamed then disintegrated. Each dark cloud fell off his body until he was no more.)

PERICLES: Jona! Your...your...
JONA: Alive? It’s a good thing he wasn’t watching the ghost slayer when he flung it away
PERICLES: I’m...so glad to see you...
JONA: Haha! Don’t do that dying speech, you look fine

(Pericles stands up)

PERICLES: Well! I thought I could do a dramatic ending!
JONA: I prefer a happy ending
JUSTINIAN: Hey! That was AWESOME!
PERICLES: You’re alive?
JUSTINIAN: Of course I am! Why wouldn’t I be?

(Enter Spyros, Mira, Nicolaos, Hatshepsut, Montezuma, Ashurbanipal, Masinissa, and Deganawida)

ASHURBANIPAL: I captured Tlatelolco
MASINISSA: So...does that mean it...is finally all over?
DEGANAWIDA: Look at the people standing around you! It looks like we are the surviving leaders of this!
PERICLES: From 40 to 6
MIRA: Pericles, Justinian, Montezuma, Ashurbanipal, Masinissa, and Deganawida
JUSTINIAN: YEAAAAH! We won a world peace victory!
SPYROS: There’s no such thing as a world peace victory
ASHURBANIPAL: There should be
PERICLES: I suppose we can all relax now
MONTEZUMA: Let our guards down...
MASINISSA: We have a form of trust here, right?
ALL: Right!
NICOLAOS: Hey, I just realized that you never mentioned Jona as one of the final civilizations!
DEGANAWIDA: Did she survive?
JONA: Of course I did! We just decided to combine the Greek and French empire
PERICLES: Pretty easy decision considering half of my population was French already
MASINISSA: To celebrate this grand occasion, let’s all get drunk!
MIRA: I complain that I’m underage
DEGANAWIDA: Seriously?!?
MIRA: Well...I became Immortal at 17 so...
SPYROS: Alcohol kills!
MIRA: Yeah! What he said!
MASINISSA: Fine, fine. Let’s all just go party at Pericles’ place
ALL: YEAH!
PERICLES: Wait...what?

(Exit all except Pericles)

PERICLES: I didn’t agree to this! Come back here!!!!!

Pericles leaned back in his chair, content with himself. He felt weird to retell his life history but Jona had insisted to.

PERICLES: And after that...was when we had you

Of course, Pericles was telling this to his 5 month old daughter, Boudica. Boudica clapped her hands loudly and smiled. Jona walked over and picked her up.

JONA: Well...I guess it’s time to see her go?
PERICLES: I guess so...

Pericles had a tear in his eye. He didn’t realize it when he began to cry. Jona came over and hugged him hard, crying as well. Baby Boudica didn’t know what the crying was all about, or the fact that she would never see her parents again for a very long time. When Boudica was born, Pericles and Jona had finished building a spaceship. They were going to use it to colonize far away planets and made the tough decision to send Boudica with the rocket. Pericles and Jona left the palace and walked towards the launch site outside. Everybody was there; Justinian, Masinissa, Deganawida, Ashurbanipal, and Montezuma along with Pericles’s advisors, Spyros, Mira, Nicolaos, and Hatshepsut. There were no better people to be there and watch his baby go into space. Most of them were crying. Even Spyros, who tried his best not to cry and keep a straight face. It was Mira, though, who ran up to them.

MIRA: Are you...sure you want to do this?

Pericles looked down at baby Boudica.

PERICLES: Yes...we’re sure
JUSTINIAN: Dude! You got guts to do this!

It was time. Everyone crowed around Boudica to tickle her stomach, pat her head, whatever they wanted to do to her. Eventually, Pericles proceeded to give her to the astronaut in charge.

PERICLES: You...you’re going to take care of my daughter?
EDGE: Yes sir! I am Edge Pythoda, the person who will be taking care of your baby, sir!
PERICLES: I hope that you take care of...her
EDGE: Yes sir! I will rather die than let any harm come to her, sir!
JONA: I hope that you would sound friendlier
EDGE: I’m very sorry M’lady! I am just very nervous to be talking with you right now!
PERICLES: Well...you should go before I change my mind and keep Boudica here
EDGE: Yes sir!

Captain Edge got inside the rocket. A countdown was sounded and the rocket took off. Pericles watched up at the rocket and realized that this was probably what Jona felt when she watched him take off in that rocket a long time ago. He smiled, because that meant he would see his daughter again.​



PERICLES stayed on earth and continued to build the Greek empire. Eventually, the entire world chose to join Greece

JONA also stayed with Pericles and helped him build Greece

SPYROS went back to their home planet to tell everyone about his time on earth. Of course he couldn’t stay there so he returned to earth and married Mira. They had 3 children and retired in the city of Carbunculus

MIRA lived with Spyros in Carbunculus, taking care of their three children

NICOLAOS retired to the city of Uruk where he lived a peaceful life. He began to write school textbooks later on as a hobby

HATSHEPSUT married Montezuma. They had 1 child who grew up learning how to fight from great general David Dixon Porter

MONTEZUMA lived with Hatshepsut and retired in his city of Tenochtitlan

JUSTINIAN lived a quiet life in Constantinople. He got bored, eventually, and became a singer

ASHURBANIPAL went to live in Thebes. He loved the busy city but, sadly, died from a car accident

MASINSSA retired in Hamburg, where he built his own island and currently lives on it

DEGANAWIDA wanted to see Pericles’s planet. So he flew there and chose to live there.

MANSA MUSA was given the choice to bring back the Malinese Civilization, but he turned down the offer

And they all lived happily ever after (of course)

END
 
Well! I hope I didn't forget any living character for that last bit :D

Now I can begin Choose your own Adventure!!!

Don't forget to post on what you liked or disliked about the story! You liked the plot? You didn't? I must know to make my next story even better!

And don't forget to rate the thread!

Yoshiegg, out

EDIT: Oh wow! I just realized I missed Nicolaos! I must really be sleeping
 
:bowdown::worship::clap::hatsoff::cooool:
Combo x5!!!
Perfect!
 
A little worse than what I expected, but I think that's because of the high expectations that the story created so far.

Anyway, I'll probably (if I have time) read the next story.

Good job.
 
I had a strange dream where Justinian was singing rap songs after I wrote that.

Civ will never be the same

Now if you ever see a Justanian in an AAR you can actually give him dialogue.
 
Nice nice! :D
i liked the end, except one detail.

to world peace it would be better to adopt Secular, wouldn't it? all religions are tolerated in secular civic.
in RoM, from what i remember, the civic atheism actually represents religious opression, so this wouldn't be actual peace, but persecution. (that civic is even 1 unhappy face from religion in city)

that is a opressive civic, i tell you :sad:

Ah yes, your right.
I wrote the ending without my game open since I lost the save file so...I kind of guessed about the civics. I could only remember their names

But...yeah, your right :D
 
Really? No one complained about Hattie marrying the psycho?

well... I guess they're about the same since Pacifist started writing, but still...
 
:bump: :D

EDIT: The following file is only intended for Dhoomstriker. Nobody should really be reading this...as it's edited a year after this post :p
