40 Civilizations: The Quest for Power

[Yoshiegg737]

(Uruk. Enter Pericles and Advisors)

PERICLES: Guys, I have decided to convert to Hellenism
MIRA: Awesome! Our own religion! But...
PERICLES: But?
MIRA: Many other nations are founding their own religions. Theres about 3 new ones now
PERICLES: Where are they?
MIRA: Suppiluliuma founded one, one was in an unknown city, and the last one...
PERICLES: The last one...
MIRA: Was founded by Pacal...
PERICLES: Thats horrible!
MIRA: But! He hasent converted to it yet. Hes sticking with our religion for...who knows how long
PERICLES: Well, atleast hes on our side for now. Nicolaos, start spamming Oracles
NICOLAOS: Oracles...
PERICLES: They spread Hellenism
NICOLAOS: I see!
SPYROS: Who are you planning on converting?
PERICLES: Since there are a lack of religions in the east, I'll send one to Capac and the Inca's. Then, I'll give one to Justinian and try to make Jona convert.
MIRA: Your giiiiiiiiiiiirlfriend
PERICLES: Shut up!
NICOLAOS: Uhh...about Justinian...
PERICLES: Hes founded a new religion?
NICOLAOS: No, he founded a city ontop of the ruins of Seoul
PERICLES: Darn, he beat us to it.
SPYROS: While we were spamming Oracles...
PERICLES: Oh well, our economy was bad enough

(Carbuncle Hut. Enter Pericles and Spyros)

SPYROS: Hey did'ja hear?
PERICLES: About what?
SPYROS: Pacal converted to his own religion but we got Justinian and Capac on our sides
PERICLES: Good! Our civilization is thriving now!
SPYROS: Yeah! Were sitting at second!
PERICLES: If you will excuse me now...
SPYROS: Whoa! Where you goin?

(Paris. Enter Joan and ???)

JOAN: No...it...can't be you!
???: Oh? That's not a nice way to talk to me
JOAN: You should have died years ago!
???: But I didn't, and here I am. I heard Pericles was headed this way
JOAN: Pericles...agh...no...you wouldn't!
???: I understand he has left my gift to him in your possesion?
JOAN: He...got me to analyze it
???: I see...
JOAN: You...you can't do anything to him, please!

GUARD: Lady Jona?
JOAN: Ugh...even your calling me that now?
GUARD: I'm sorry. Are you ok?
JOAN: ...
GUARD: What are you going to tell him?
JOAN: I can't lie, I just can't tell him everything

(Enter Pericles)

PERICLES: Jona!
JOAN: That's not my name
PERICLES: Yeah, whatever. So, can I have the information on that letter?
JOAN: The one sent to your b-brother?
PERICLES: Voice crack!
JOAN: Ugh!
PERICLES: Yeah, the one sent to my brother Thomas
JOAN: Isn't your brothers name...
PERICLES: Idle chit-chat is not important! Wheres the letter!?
JOAN: Right, the letter (hands Pericles back the letter) we couldn't tell much about it...
PERICLES: But?
JOAN: It was written by the leader of a civilization
PERICLES: One of the leaders?!?!? Like you and me?
JOAN: Yeah...
PERICLES: What else did you find out?
JOAN: Well...I found...ah...nothing else
PERICLES: Alright...so a leader of a civilization is out to kill me...uhh...my brother?

O.o

Giglamesh deserved to die... for settling such a poor city!! Settling one tile south would make the city river-side, coastal, and at influential culture, you would also have stone and marble!!

Oh well. Good going for your early war! I anticipate completely insane diplomacy, and fascinating rebellions in the distant future!

Actually, the picture doesn't show it too well, but 1 south is a corn field.
And yes, diplomacy does get crazy once there are almost 7 different religions flying around.

Despite the fact that the "Next Update" says next Friday, I ended up with some time to do an update now. Hurray! Only it won't be the whole update. I'll probably finish it on Sunday
Also, the Christmas CFC is made of win

[Yoshiegg737]

(Uruk. Enter Pericles)

PERICLES: Advisors? Where are my advisors? Wh.....at are these...things?

(Enter Mira)

MIRA: Oh! Hiya master!
PERICLES: Mira! I've made our next plan!
MIRA: Oh, ok. I'm busy right now
PERICLES: With what? Does it involve these...black boxes here?
MIRA: Yeah! Nicolaos invented this black box thing. It can play a song really loudly!
PERICLES: And what do you plan to do with that?
MIRA: Play Gilgameshes theme 24/7!
PERICLES: No
MIRA: But why..................
PERICLES: Becuase that's insane!

(Black boxes suddenly start to play Gilgameshes theme)

MIRA: Woohoo! I love this song!

(Enter Spyros and Nicolaos)

NICOLAOS: Alriiiiiight it works!
SPYROS: Yeah!

(Enter Pacal)

PACAL: DANCE PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Everyone starts dancing except Pericles)

PERICLES: No! No dance party!
MIRA: Don't be such a party pooper!
PERICLES: ...fine you can turn of the music in 3 hours
MIRA: I can't do that
PERICLES: WHY NOT?!?!?
MIRA: Well...we havent invented the off switch
PERICLES: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArgh! Nicolaos!
NICOLAOS: What?
PERICLES: Invent the off switch!
NICOLAOS: I cant hear you!
PERICLES: I said...!

(Enter Huayna Capac and Justinian)

HUAYNA: Everybody DANCE!
PERICLES: No! That was not what I said!
JUSTINIAN: Now THIS is a Friday night!
PERICLES: Urgh...I haven't even told anyone my next plan!
SPYROS: Is it to make more black boxes?
PERICLES: No! Were gonna spread our religion!
MIRA: And this music?
PERICLES: Aaaaaaaaaaaargh! We are not spreading this music!

(Enter Lincoln)

LINCOLN: Heeeeeeeeey! I can hear this awesome music all the way from Washington!
PERICLES: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Carbuncle Hut. Enter Pericles and Advisors)

PERICLES: OK! Nicolaos, please stop falling asleep
NICOLAOS: zzz
MIRA: He stayed up all night trying to turn off the music
SPYROS: He will be fine later on
PERICLES: Good, good. Mira, I heard you had news for me?
MIRA: Yeah, Darius died
PERICLES: His civilization is no more?
MIRA: Mmhmm!
PERICLES: So, who captured his city?
MIRA: Uhh...we don't know. Our scout died in the battle for Uruk
PERICLES: Our scout? Why didn't someone tell them to retreat?
SPYROS: It was part of the battle plan to lure away one of Gilgamesh's spearmen
PERICLES: You sacrificed our scout?!?!?
MIRA: That's so sad...
SPYROS: Well we can always build a new one
PERICLES: Ok. We will do that next. Nicolaos? Write that down
NICOLAOS: Zzzzz
PERICLES: OK. I will write that down

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Carbuncle Hut. Enter Pericles and Peter)

PETER: Hi Pericles, I hate you
PERICLES: Good to know
PETER: Despite the fact that I hate you, I'm requesting you attack Mansa Musa
PERICLES: Oh, ok
PETER: Well, fine!...Wait...did you say ok?
PERICLES: Yeah
PETER: Woooooot! I don't hate you anymore!
PERICLES: Ah...good to know

(Exit Peter)

(Enter Spyros)

SPYROS: Ooh! A war? Shall I get the Light Swordsmen ready?
PERICLES: No need, this is just a war to get into better relations with some leaders. I have no intention of attack the Malinese
SPYROS: Darn it! That's boring!
PERICLES: I'll see if I can get Huayna onboard. His worse enemy is Mansa anyway
SPYROS: Can we attack them a little?
PERICLES: Fine, a little
SPYROS: Woohoo!

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Carbuncle Hut. Enter Pericles and Mira)

MIRA: Pericles!
PERICLES: Yeah?
MIRA: The iron is ours! We can now build Light Swordsmen!
PERICLES: Isn't that Spyros's job to tell me?
MIRA: Oh, that wasen't the news I was gonna tell you, I just thought you might have wanted to know that first from me
PERICLES: Oh. Ok.
MIRA: Anyway...MY news! We have our very first ally!
PERICLES: Ally? You mean...
MIRA: Someone we got to Friendly status
PERICLES: Is it Pacal? I did get him to convert to Hellenism a while ago
MIRA: Nope. It's that French girl
PERICLES: YES!
MIRA: Huh?
PERICLES: Ah...I didn't say anything
MIRA: O_o. Anyway, after we spreaded Hellenism there, apparently she worked very hard to convert them to Hellenism
PERICLES: It's because they believed in a religion that wasen't going nowhere
MIRA: It looks like your religion tactics are working!
PERICLES: Uh...yeah...tactics. Look, go tell Nicolaos to keep building those Oracles
MIRA: On it!

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Carbuncle Hut. Enter Pericles, Spyros, and Mira)

MIRA: Pericles! Good news!
PERICLES: Yeah?
SPYROS: Huayna Capac declared war on the Germans! Then they captured Hamburg!
PERICLES: That's terrific for us! If we can get an oracle to Hamburg, Huayna won't even consider converting to another religion
SPYROS: I'll tell the oracles to hurry. We also have another Oracle headed to the Netherlands. And Montezuma converted to Hellenism
PERICLES: Great! Everything is going according to plan!
SPYROS: Yet somehow, Hatshepsut is miles ahead of us in points!
PERICLES: Thebes must be a grand city
MIRA: We should visit there sometime!

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Thebes. Enter Pericles and Advisors)

MIRA: Wow! This place is sooooooo much better than our city!
PERICLES: Eh
MIRA: Can I move here?
PERICLES: No you cannot move here!
NICOLAOS: It's so peaceful in here!

(Enter Celtic Warrior)

CELTIC WARRIOR: Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! (Kills people)
SPYROS: Should we go bash that guys head in?
PERICLES: No, its not our war
SPYROS: I think he's headed this way
PERICLES: I see he is (Kills Celtic Warrior)
SPYROS: You know I wanted to do that
PERICLES: You have to be more decisive

(Enter Hatshepsut)

HATSHEPSUT: Pericles! Can I ask you something?
PERICLES: No, I'm not joining you in your war
HATSHEPSUT: What makes you think I was going to ask that?
PERICLES: I just know
HATSHEPSUT: Well that was not what I was going to ask! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
PERICLES:
HATSHEPSUT: What the heck?
PERICLES: I dunno, I just felt like using that smiley

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Carbuncle Hut. Enter Pericles and Advisors)

NICOLAOS: Pericles! We have begun our road to heavy swordsmen!
PERICLES: Good! If we can get there first, our army will be unstoppable!
NICOLAOS: We've begun to research the tech that will give us Swordsmen, a step up from the Light Swordsmen
SPYROS: So? Who will we attack first?
PERICLES: Don't have that planned yet. Someone without iron or horses so they cant fight back
SPYROS: I'll look into that

(Enter Huayna)

HUAYNA: Pericles! Please join us by adopting Monarchy!
PERICLES: Ok
HUAYNA: Ok?!?!?
PERICLES: Yeah
HUAYNA: Wow that was amazingly easy!
PERICLES: Yeah, it's better than what we have right now, but I was too lazy to switch
HUAYNA: O_o
PERICLES: Anything else?
HUAYNA: Yeah! I can't wait for the new dance party in Uruk tonight!
PERICLES: What dance party?
MIRA: Uh oh!

(Exit Mira)

PERICLES: I thought you dismantled those black boxes!
NICOLAOS: Turned off...not dismantled
PERICLES: Well I want them dismantled!
SPYROS: You should learn how to dance!
HUAYNA: You should get one of those dance games for the XBOX Kinect!
PERICLES: XBOX Kinect?!?!? Were in 2000 BC!
HUAYNA: Time warp!!!!!!!!!

(Exit Huayna)

PERICLES: The heck?
SPYROS: Time warps are fun!
PERICLES: Aaaaaargh!

(Enter Huayna)

HUAYNA: Oh by the way, I killed Frederick
PERICLES: That's ok, I didn't like him anyway
SPYROS: And I dislike his theme song

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Carbuncle Hut. Enter Pericles and Spyros)

SPYROS: Pericles! I checked out the army in Thebes!
PERICLES: Well?
SPYROS: It contains 2 spearmen and 2 archers
PERICLES: That's really sad
SPYROS: I know
PERICLES: Hatshepsut will be our next target, prepare the swordsmen
SPYROS: Yeah, ok.

(Enter Mira)

MIRA: Pericles!
PERICLES: Yep?
MIRA: A Malinese warrior is blocking our spread of Hellenism to Amsterdam!
PERICLES: Then go make peace with Mansa
MIRA: That easy?
PERICLES: Yeah, we have other war plans
MIRA: Yay! Also, we had an oracle sent to Berlin
PERICLES: That should keep Huayna on Hellenism

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Carbuncle Hut. Enter Pericles and Spyros)

SPYROS: Pericles! Suppiluliuma has died!
PERICLES: By?
SPYROS: Montezuma killed him
PERICLES: Which Suppiluliuma died?
SPYROS: One of the Suppiluliuma's
PERICLES: Awesome! No more double civ glitch!
SPYROS: And since there are only 30 civs left, including us, all of the data on the right side of the screen is complete
PERICLES: So it shows all the civs now?
SPYROS: Yep, yep
PERICLES: More convinience!

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Carbuncle Hut. Enter Pericles and Advisors)

SPYROS: Our unit spamming is going well, we currently have 2 Light Swordsmen, 2 Catapults, and 2 Vultures
PERICLES: We can build Vultures?
SPYROS: Our command in Uruk allows us to build Sumerian things
PERICLES: Cool!

FAST BAD NEWS INTERMISSION!​

My civ suddenly crashed, and I havent saved since making peace with Mansa. As a result, everything that happened after that may not happen. I will edit the previous posts accordingly.

Sorry!

EDIT: Major Changes:

Suppiluliuma still dies
Julius Caesar does not declare war on Montezuma (So Montezuma still has Tenochtitlan)
Some begging for free techs didnt happen
Churchill didn't capture the barbarian city (yet?)
A revolution did not happen in Russia

That's about it. I'm now trying to cheat and get Ashurbanipal occupied with another war

EDIT EDIT: The last of the changes:

Holy Romans took the Barbarian city
Brennus doesn't annoy me every turn
Ashurbanipal does not declare war on Hatshepsut
Everybody hates the Siamese
And I didn't get the great prophet I really needed

EDIT EDIT EDIT: And! Russia still lost Persepolis to Native America. But this time, it was because of Rebel Groups

 

[Yoshiegg737]

(Thebes Entrance. Enter Pericles, Advisors, and Joan)

JOAN: Hey Pericles, wanna attack someone?
PERICLES: That was what I was thinking...but go on
JOAN: I wanted to attack Hatshepsut, care to join me?
PERICLES: Hah! I was just about to declare war on her!
JOAN: So it's settled! Let's tag team her!
PERICLES: If you havent noticed Hatshepsut's amazingly bad defence and my super trained warriors...
JOAN: What if I haven't noticed?
PERICLES: Don't give me that
JOAN: Alright...so you will probably get Thebes before me
PERICLES: Yeah, you don't have to declare war on Hatshepsut
JOAN: No, it's ok. We can declare war on her anyway
PERICLES: You sure?
JOAN: Yeah!
PERICLES: Heh...alright.
MIRA: Good luck!
NICOLAOS: Make sure you guys don't die!
PERICLES: Just how much faith do you have in me?
NICOLAOS: Please don't make me answer that, sire

(Move to Thebes. Enter Pericles, Joan, Spyros, and Hatshepsut)

HATSHEPSUT: Hey guys!
PERICLES: Hey
JOAN: Sup
SPYROS: Awkward...
PERICLES: Yeah...so look at the army behind me
HATSHEPSUT: ...wait...your not...
PERICLES: Oh yes I am!
HATSHEPSUT: What?!? But both of you had a pleased rating with me!
JOAN: Maybe you should watch your back next time
HATSHEPSUT: Why are you declaring war on me?!? Your army isn't even here!
JOAN: I have my...reasons
HATSHEPSUT: ...agh...I have no army
PERICLES: Nice isn't it? ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(War commences. Epic battle begins. End with Hatshepsut's army destroyed)

PERICLES: Hah! You didn't even get my percentage of winning below 90% the whole time!
HATSHEPSUT: Agh...atleast I killed one of your catapults
PERICLES: That was hacked! I had a 93% chance of winning!
JOAN: So are you going to...
SPYROS: Kill...her now?
PERICLES: With you guys watching? Tend to the people outside
JOAN: But...!
PERICLES: I said! Tend to the people outside!
SPYROS: Comeon, Jona, we should leave
JOAN: Don't you start calling me that too

(Exit Spyros and Joan)

PERICLES: So, Hattie, will this be where you die?
HATSHEPSUT: Oh stop it, if you want to kill me just get it over with
PERICLES: Not yet. (Throws the letter at Hatshepsut)
HATSHEPSUT: What's this?
PERICLES: Do you know who wrote this letter? Was it you?
HATSHEPSUT: Me...? No...no it was not.
PERICLES: But how can I trust what you say?
HATSHEPSUT: Then what was the point of asking me?!?

(Enter ???)

???: Bingo, Pericles, your correct
PERICLES: Dangit! Who the hell are you?!?!?!?
???: Your worst nightmare
HATSHEPSUT: Geez, what a cliched response
???: Urgh
PERICLES: (Slashes ??? with sword. ??? vanishes) What the hell?
???: (Reappears) Oh please, you have to do better than that

(Exit ???)

PERICLES: Agh...
HATSHEPSUT: So...your gonna kill me now?
PERICLES: ...no...
HATSHEPSUT: No?!?
PERICLES: Something wrong with that???
HATSHEPSUT: N-n-no! Nothing wrong at all!
PERICLES: Then go. Stay in our empire. Don't make me change my mind
HATSHEPSUT: O...ok...

(Enter Joan and Advisors)

SPYROS: You still haven't done it yet?
PERICLES: I'm not going to do it. Take Hatshepsut to Carbunculus so she can live there
SPYROS: Huh? Uhh...ok...sure!

(Exit Spyros and Hatshepsut)

JOAN: Why the change of heart?
PERICLES: ...
MIRA: Pericles?

NICOLAOS: Thebes dislike you taking over their city
PERICLES: Figures
NICOLAOS: They will likely revolt for another 6 turns

(Enter Mira)

MIRA: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
SPYROS: What now?
MIRA: Another civilization has been taken to the sky! It's so horrible!
SPYROS: Get over it, it happens
PERICLES: So who was it this time?
MIRA: Qin of China
PERICLES: That's good, now Justinian will have more room and will be happier
NICOLAOS: How long do you think Justinian and our other Hellenism allies will stay on Hellenism?
PERICLES: What do you mean by that?
NICOLAOS: More than 50% of the world worships Naghualism now
PERICLES: What the heck? They should be worshiping Hellenism!
NICOLAOS: Even Pacal converted to Naghualism. But he's still pleased with us!
PERICLES: Hahaha...AHAHHAHAHAHAHA!
NICOLAOS: I didn't find my comment THAT funny, sire
PERICLES: It's not that, it's just that we command the most powerful army in the world!
NICOLAOS: Your considering attacking all non Hellenism believers?!?!?
PERICLES: Maaaaaaaybe
SPYROS: Alriiiiiiiiiiiiiight! I'll get the Swordsmen ready!
