There's also the problem of summerwork drastically cutting down on my writing time. At this rate, I might not get an update done til the end of summer.
I still have to update the Master Map for the Caliphate (which will surely take a long time) and make the reports (which will also take a long time). Meanwhile I'm trying to write a program to help me working on the reports, so it gets easier and faster to make these. So you're actually giving me more time 
Don't worry, take your time. If you feel some of our other writers in the Caliphate could have some info about the term to make their own sidestories, feel free to give them that info, while you don't have time to make the official updates.

What sort of book, if you don't mind me asking?

It's the story of a woman named Molly Clifford, and of a man named Jim. Jim works to close places like soup kitchens, and Molly takes him to meet the people he is hurting to hopefully change his ways.

It'd be quite a twist if Jim promises to change but turns out to be a jerk anyways and takes down he soup kitchen while people were actually inside it XD .

Finally everything is up and running. I will post my story soon.
Congratulations! There is no bigger pleasure then to start a game you feel it's balanced, and then in the end your state is a lot into the future compared to any other nation on your world, and consequentially you're its overlord. I still remember my last Emperor game, and I have no idea how many years have passed since it. If I dig on my old pc, I may find a date.
It was a victory on the style of yours, but I don't remember the details anymore (although I probably have the last savegame). I was using the Zulu. From that victory onwards, I started playing on Immortal. I suffered a lot on Immortal until I finally got my overlord victory on it and started playing on Deity. But I didn't get back to play Emperor ever again.
You know that this game is telling you to try a harder setting right? The AI is completely incompetent against you in that game. I always interpret this style of victory as: Yeah, I've beaten this level, now I should try the next one.
You are a player better then expected to all the AIs. Even winning an "equal" war, there is no equality in a bunch of Modern Armors vs a Massive sized army of Infantry, Cavalry and Cannons. The numbers may tell there is a balance, but a nation which is able to train Modern Armor divisions is far more capable to win a war then the one which is stuck in Infantry, no matter its size. The size is probably helping to stagnate it, rather then to improve it.
Overwhelming numbers don't count for much when the enemy has shiny armor. Its really too bad that the game doesn't take numbers into account. You could throw 20 inferior units at a superior and not even damage it. Since the game will simply calculate it as them individually attacking, one after another, with no real cohesion. I guess its inevitable being a turn based game.
At the same time your units are dieing in battles they had less than 5% chance to lose. In which case it would have made more sense for them to succeed but have taken a massive amount of damage. So much so that they couldn't really afford any more 'victories' like that.

I once used cheats on the lowest difficulty.
Okay, maybe more than once.
Okay, maybe every time...

Ha losers!
Flashes back to first game in which he did not even know how to build improvements. Flashes back to surprise barb stacks he has deleted in WB and tendency to use WB map view to locate best city spots and add resources not in vicinity.
Shh, no one needs to know that.

I used to do that... then I realized that I was being unfair, so I started adding resources and generally improving geography for the AI as well.
THEN I realized that I was ruining for myself the exploration part of the game... so I stopped.
In the meantime, I guess I also became somewhat better at the game, so I didn't really need to do that anymore.
Still, that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy making elaborate scenarios in WB from time to time.
