40 Civilizations: The Quest for Power

[Yoshiegg737]

Ah, writing that first part was nice. Enjoy!

I didnt ask Pacifist46 beforehand if I could kind of use his character in my story. Hope he doesnt mind, I can always change it if he doesnt want that. Naturally, when I discovered Hatshepsut I remembered that story. First one I read. If you havent read it I highly recommend you do.

You can post stuff now until next part

 

[Civ'ed]

Great story so far

 

[whataboutit]

So all I wanted to say is that this is and will be epic!
Cool storytelling and I have never seen civs SO close to each other..
Waiting for more!

Actually, I've always played Civ games like this so it's rare for me not to see the civ's close together

actually, generally speaking, you can get a fair advantage if you pop a few of these as there will be many minor civs for a really long time, maybe?

EDIT *sigh*.. again sry

(Carbuncle Shack. Enter Pericles)

PERICLES: If my advisor's seem so worn out after meeting all those civs...hmm...I got it!

(Enter Advisors)

MIRA: Morning!
NICOLAOS: Were almost done Stone Tools!
SPYROS: And I'm still tired...

(Enter Pacal)

MIRA: Ahh! A new civ!
PERICLES: No, no. Its only Pacal.
PACAL: Mornin! Thought I might check in on my neighbours!
SPYROS: Yep!
NICOLAOS: Were fine.
PERICLES: So...
PACAL: So...

PERICLES: Did you need something else?
PACAL: Just...wanted to tell you that Korea hates me
PERICLES: O...K then
PACAL: Do you hate me too?
PERICLES: Well...
PACAL: Ah! Heres an idea! So I heard you guys were having trouble with new civs?
PERICLES: So much...
PACAL: You should do what I'm doing! Just have your foreign advisor stand at the entrance of your city and take down all of their information there!
PERICLES: Wouldnt that put more stress on the foreign advisor?

(Exit Mira)

PACAL: Well, atleast you will be free to do other stuff! Like how I am right now!
PERICLES: That idea is BRILLIANT!
PACAL: Thanks! I try.
PERICLES: I wish I could give you some gold
NICOLAOS: You need a technology to give money to people
SPYROS: Why?
NICOLAOS: Who knows!
PACAL: Oh well thats ok. I'm just tagging with my scouts with the free time. Cya later!

(Exit Pacal)

PERICLES: OK! So wheres Mira?
SPYROS: She slipped out a while ago
PERICLES: Lets go find her then.

 

[Yoshiegg737]

MIRA: Whew. I think I'm safe here

(Enter Pericles and Spyros)

SPYROS: Ah HA! Found you!
MIRA: Aaaaah! Noooo!
PERICLES: Come along, foreign advisor, were taking you to a small booth at the front of the city!
MIRA: No! I dont want to do it!
PERICLES: Thats ok if you don't want to record all the new civs...
MIRA: Really?
PERICLES: No! Quick Spyros! The ball and chain!

(Spyros attaches a ball and chain to Mira)

MIRA: Aaaaaaaaaah! HEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!
SPYROS: Haha! No one can save you now!
PERICLES: Quick! Drag her to the booth!

(Exit All)

(Carbunculus City Entrance. Enter Pericles, Mira, and Spyros)

SPYROS: There! And stay there!
MIRA: Help! Let me out!
SPYROS: Heres a pencil and your clipboard! Now get to work!
MIRA: Wah...
PERICLES: Quick! Run away before we feel guilt!

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Carbuncle Shack. Enter Pericles, Spyros, Nicolaos, and a Servent)

PERICLES: Guy's, I have decided to go with our scouts to find new civilizations!
SPYROS: Can I come?
PERICLES: Sorry, Spyros, but you will have the honor of staying here and leading the Greek Civilization!
SPYROS: Woohoo! And I won't have to deal with all the new civs!
NICOLAOS: This will be the best!
PERICLES: Servent! Bring me my best shoes!
SERVENT: Yes sir.

(Exit Servent)

PERICLES: Well, you two, I bid you farewell then
SPYROS: Make sure you stay alive!
NICOLAOS: And drive safely!
SPYROS: Whats a drive?

(Exit Pericles in a dramatic fashion)

(Outside the border of Egypt. Enter Scout 1 and Scout 2)

SCOUT 1: You think all our data has gotten back to home?
SCOUT 2: Gee...I sure miss home...

(Enter Pericles)

PERICLES: Greetings! My friends!
SCOUT 1: Ah! It's Sir Pericles!
SCOUT 2: My lord!
PERICLES: Now, now, no need to get so formal with me...
SCOUT 1: But sire!
PERICLES: Now then, I will be joining you guys!
SCOUT 2: W-w-with us? Sir?
SCOUT 1: Oh what an honor sir!
SCOUT 2: I must give you a hug!
SCOUT 1: Me too!

(Scout 1 and Scout 2 hug Pericles)

PERICLES: Whoa! Whoa! Too close! Too close!

(Enter Hatshepsut)

HATSHEPSUT: Uhh...
PERICLES: Don't ask. It would take too long to explain

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Carbuncle Shack. Enter Spyros and Nicolaos)

SPYROS: So Nico, for what reason did you call me here?
NICOLAOS: Well, we have finished our worker
SPYROS: And what are we working on now...?
NICOLAOS: A firepit!
SPYROS: What nonsense is this!
NICOLAOS: Well...Mira suggested it. She said her hands and feet were numb. Apparently Pericles sent 3 new civs he found to her.
SPYROS: And? Let her hands and feet fall off!
NICOLAOS: But if her hands fall off...then she can't write down the new civs! A-a-and then we have to do real work!
SPYROS: Real work? Oh no! Quick! Invent mittens and build that fireplace ASAP!
NICOLAOS: Y-yes sir! Right away!

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Constantinople Entrance. Enter Pericles, Scouts, and Justinian)

PERICLES: So...right of passage?
JUSTINIAN: I havent invented that yet
PERICLES: Open borders?
JUSTINIAN: Havent invented that either. Have you tried asking Franco?
PERICLES: He doesnt have that either
JUSTINIAN: So I guess your stuck here until we invent something that will allow you to cross our borders?
PERICLES: I guess so...
JUSTINIAN: Darn it we have company! There goes my Friday night!
PERICLES: We can do something for Friday night!
JUSTINIAN: Allow me to remind you that I am a man
PERICLES: Ooooh! That Friday night!
JUSTINIAN: Have you heard that Greece is in anarchy?
PERICLES: What? What for?
JUSTINIAN: Apparently, whoever you left incharge has adopted prophets
PERICLES: Prophets?
JUSTINIAN: Apparently your people are in anarchy because they refuse to believe that the world will end in 2012
PERICLES: All the more reason to stay in Constantinople!
JUSTINIAN: So...you dont want to go back home and check up on it?
PERICLES: Not at all!
JUSTINIAN: Dang it!

MIRA: But more importantly, my news!
SPYROS: Well? Spit it out!
MIRA: The Indians! They-they-they died!
SPYROS: And...?
MIRA: And what?
SPYROS: How did they die?
MIRA: Well they were just walking...their settler...near our city...then suddenly a Mayan warrior! Boom! And they all were captured! The Indian civilization is no more!
NICOLAOS: Well, that means there are 39 civilizations left now
SPYROS: Anything else you needed to tell us?

SPYROS: Ah ha! I knew it!
NICOLAOS: Quick! The sleeper dart!
MIRA: Aaaaaaaah!

(Carbunculus Entrance. Enter Mira, Suppiluliuma, and workers)

MIRA: New civ?
SUPPILULIUMA: Nope! Were here to build an embassy! We have the go ahead paper from Pericles right here.
MIRA: Embassy? What do they do?
SUPPILULIUMA: Embassies basically are they passage between nations. When an embassy is build between nations, they can accept open borders and the nations will be closer together. But both sides can see the opposing teams capital city and spy missions will work more often!
MIRA: Who runs the embassy?
SUPPILULIUMA: Why, the foriegn advisor runs it.
MIRA: WHAT?!?!?!?!

(Enter Nicolaos)

NICOLAOS: Quick! Run over here! She will bite you!
SUPPILULIUMA: Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

WORKER 1: AAAAAAaaaaagh...(gets bitten to death)
MIRA: Rrrrrrrrrrraaaaaawr!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUPPILULIUMA: Just help me build the embassy so we can get out of here!
MIRA: *knaw* *knaw*
NICOLAOS: Quick! Shes biting through the chains!
SUPPILULIUMA: Run for it!

(Meanwhile, in Constantinople. Enter Pericles, Justinian, and Scouts)

PERICLES: So did Suppiluliuma finish the embassy?
SCOUT 1: I believe so
SCOUT 2: Positive
PERICLES: Then lets head over there to ask for open borders
JUSTINIAN: Leaving?
PERICLES: Ayup
JUSTINIAN: It's been a pleasure.

(Forest outside Spain. Enter Suppiluliuma, Pericles, and Scouts)
PERICLES: So I presume the embassy building went smoothly
SUPPILULIUMA: May I make a suggestion about your empire?
PERICLES: Yes?
SUPPILULIUMA: You know, whatever your foreign advisor is doing?
PERICLES: Mmhmm?
SUPPILULIUMA: Make sure she never does that again
PERICLES: Did something happen?
SUPPILULIUMA: No! NO! Nothing at all! So? Open borders?
PERICLES: Deal

SCOUT 1: Do you hear something?
SCOUT 2: Yeah, I do!

(Enter Wang Kon from behind a random tree)

WANG KON: Hi!
PERICLES: OMG!
WANG KON: Are you surprised to see me?
PERICLES: I'm more surprised that you jumped out of a random tree!
WANG KON: I wish to give you weaving for agriculture!
PERICLES: You don't have agriculture? NO WONDER your city is so small and pathetic!
WANG KON: What?
PERICLES: Oops, I let it slip!
WANG KON: So...do you want weaving or not?

NICOLAOS: Uhh...we don't know who built it actually...
SPYROS: Then find the Stonehenge and take that city!
NICOLAOS: YES SIR!

(Exit Nicolaos)

(Enter Hatshepsut)

HATSHEPSUT: If you do not cower down right now, I will kill you!
SPYROS: In case you didnt notice, your in MY palace
HATSHEPSUT: Your right! I didn't notice.
SPYROS: So what do you want?
HATSHEPSUT: An embassy and open borders. What do you think?
SPYROS: And who excatly is gonna build this embassy?
HATSHEPSUT: I could go by the rumors and force your foreign advisor to do it!
SPYROS: (cowers down to Hatshepsut) No! Please! Anything but that!
HATSHEPSUT: Hah! You cowered down to me! Don't worry I have workers outside.

SPYROS: I hope Pericles is still doing well
NICOLAOS: The scouts are constantly sending us info on all the new civs, but no news from Pericles himself
SPYROS: You dont think hes...
NICOLAOS: Been grabbed into the sky?
