: Yeah it reminds me of my Call of Duty "The Big Red One" Very realistic and I love it!


250 Post!!! w00t :woohoo: :dance: :band: :beer: :cheers: :clap:
 
keep it coming man...please! :ol:
 
It sure is very fashinating to read this story and imagine what it would look like in real life.
 
I just started reading it and i love it. maby you should pitch the idea to hollywood for the first game movie of Civilization lol.
 
Yes Yes please I want to read more, I re-read it again and im even more hooked :D
 
Could you post some photos of the world so that I can understand where the different countries are in relation to each other?

I agree with what everyone else so far has said; good job.
 
anyone know the mod he is talking, or a similary mod that basically only adds new civs, not much new content. It sounds interesting to play a mod that has the civilizations actually fill up the map. I know there is one (i think civ gold) that has over 50 civs (something like that), but that seems too crowded.
 
What they all said. Just found this story today.

I must agree that some pics of the world would be appreciated.
Mainly though, keep posting!
:)
 
Hello again folks. Sorry for abandoning the story. I lost interest in it for a long while. It wasn't until recently I saw that many of you continued to read it and make comments on it that I decided to go ahead and continue it.

To those asking, there are no pictures for this game. I did not take any during its play. This is strictly a text story.
 
- Malinese Return –
1914​

May 19, 1914
Africa – Kumbi Saleh

Lucius and the rest of the Roman forces had held a strong grip over the capital city of Malinese. Like most of the Roman troops, Lucius had become complacent and settled into a routine.

“Hey Lucky,” began Valerius as the two strolled down one of the many streets of Kumbi Saleh. “You think the Malies will come back? We did take their capital after all.”

Lucius just shook his head at Valerius. “No, Val, I don’t think the Malinese will attempt to retake their capital. Their army was here and we destroyed it when we took this place.”

They were quiet as they rounded a corner. Perhaps as a slight precaution, but still neither unslung their rifle from their shoulder. “Still, it’s been over a year. Surely they’ve scrounged up some bodies somewhere to throw at us, don’t you think? In fact, I bet you they return.”

“It’s possible, but nothing to worry about. They won’t have the combat experience we have, or the superior military training the Roman Empire provides.”

Valeriusl shook his head but was quickly interrupted by the sound of an explosion. The two threw themselves behind a pile of rubble as small amounts of debris fell upon them. Valerius smiled at Lucius and offered him his palm. “I win the bet.”

Lucius shoved his hand away. “I never took you up on it.” The sound of whistles began screaming throughout the city as sergeants and lieutenants called in their squads. Lucius and Valerius got to their feet and ran for the location that had been established as their squad’s barracks for the duration of the stay in Kumbi Saleh. As the two burst through the door of the ruined building that served as their barracks, distant cracks of guns began to sound.

“What’s happening, Sergeant?” asked Valerius once they were inside. Lucius jumped over to a window and looked out it.

“Don’t ask me,” replied the squad sergeant. “All I know is a mortar hit the one of the buildings on the interior of the city. I pulled out my whistle to start getting all you boys back in here.”

“Here comes the Lieutenant, Sarge,” said Lucius from the window. As the Lieutenant came into the building, Lucius backed away from the window and stood over near the Sergeant.

“Sergeant, the Malinese are advancing on the city. They only had a single mortar unit that was taken out abruptly by our machine gunners.” There was a cheer from the gathered squad at the good news. “Unfortunately, the building they hit housed this army’s commanders. The General and at least two of his aides were inside. I was sent over here to by a Major to get you guys over to the southern entry of the city.”

The Sergeant nodded then turned to the squad. “You heard the Lieutenant, let’s get going!”

The previous enthusiasm was gone now upon hearing of the loss of army command. Hopefully someone who knew what they were doing would get things organized. Right now though, that wasn’t a concern for Lucius. His duty was to head south with his squad and-what? They hadn’t been given any orders after that. Someone down at the southern entry had better know what was going on.

As Lucius and his squad reached the southern edge of the city, he was suddenly reminded that the war against the Malinese had not ended. The landscape was in ruins once again. The debris that had been cleaned up by the Roman troops was now replaced by more.

Lucius quickly dove behind a half-wall just sitting out in the open. All around small arms fire was going off, accompanied by an occasional machine gun nest.

“Lucky, they’re coming in at 11 o’clock!” yelled Valerius as he dove down next to Valerius. Valerius quickly popped up briefly and fired a few shots toward the advancing enemy. Lucius leaned out the side and fired a couple before bullets began to spring off their cover.

“That’s a ton of infantry, Val!” yelled Lucius over the sounds of the battle.

“No kidding!” The gunfire on their position died off and Valerius poked his head up again and fired off a few rounds before ducking once again. As Lucius was about to lean out, he paused.

“Hey, you hear that?” he asked of Valerius.

As Lucius strained to block out the sounds of the battle, he did hear the low rumble of an engine. “Sounds kind of like an airplane.”

“Yeah, but there is a noticeable difference.” As the two discussed the possibilities briefly, a large boom sounded and a nearby building exploded.

“What the hell was that?!” yelled Lucius before leaning out momentarily and trying to get a peak at what was the source of the mortar. What he saw made him freeze in position. Advancing on their position was a treaded car. It had a massive cannon on its top which spoke again and woke Lucius from his mortification.

“Where the hell is the crew that is firing that cannon?” asked Valerius as another building nearby exploded.

“I have no idea. Whatever it is, it is moving on the city and our rifles are just bouncing off its armor.”

Valerius quickly began tearing equipment off of himself and setting on the ground. “Lucky, give me your grenades.”

“What? Why?”

Valerius answered only by unbuckling Lucius’s harness that held his grenades. He tied his own grenades onto the harness. Then he untied a boot and pulled the lace from it which he ran through all the pins of the grenades before tying off.

“Voila! Homemade satchel charge. Now, give me some cover fire from the infantry and I’ll get this under that treaded artillery.”

Lucius nodded and brought his rifle up to the ready waiting for the signal from Valerius. Valerius poked his head out once before jumping to his feet and racing toward the advancing enemy. Lucius quickly leaned out and opened fire on the nearest infantry, taking out two quickly. He then focused his fire on other infantry that began to take notice of the Roman soldier running toward them.

Even though Lucius was an excellent shot, he just wasn’t fast enough to catch them all. Two bullets rang out with his own shot and he watched as Valerius fell to the ground. Lucius couldn’t believe his eyes. It wasn’t until a shot of dust from a near-miss that he woke up. He then began squeezing off round after round screaming as he did so until the clip went dry.

The massive barrel of the treaded artillery moved in and focused on Lucius’s position. Lucius jumped to his feet and made a run for it. The cannon fired causing a nearby building to explode sending Lucius flying through the air. He was thrown against the wall of a still mostly standing building, then down to the ground.

Lucius suddenly found it hard to breathe and his ears were ringing. A soldier ran up to Lucius and yelled something at him that Lucius could not hear. The soldier spoke again before grabbing Lucius by his overcoat and dragging him away from the line and back into the city.

As he was drawn away, Lucius spotted movement near the treaded artillery and soon recognized it was a person in Roman uniform. The soldier was covered in blood and seemed to be missing his right arm. The soldier was determined though and chucked Lucius’s homemade satchel charge at the treaded artillery. One of the treads exploded as the vehicle attempted to flip over before coming to rest once more on its now broken tread. The top of the treaded artillery popped open and handful of Malinese soldiers crawled out.

One of them pulled out a pistol and fired at the soldier who had invented the homemade satchel charge. Lucius could only watch in disbelief as his friend was killed again before he was dragged behind a building and out of sight.

Although the Romans were ultimately victorious against this new weapon, they sustained massive casualties as the forces defending the Malinese capital were reduced to nearly 40% of their original strength. The Malinese armored division survived intact although with heavy casualties of their own.

As the Malinese retreated back across the desert, the Roman military command knew they could not let them escape only to return again and cause problems in the near or distant future.

The Malinese armor and pursuing Roman forces played cat-and-mouse for the rest of the year before the Romans finally caught up to them outside the new Malinese capital of Gao. After another bloody battle, the Romans finished off the Malinese armor and then fell back to Kumbi Saleh. It would take a long time for the Roman 1st Army to recover.
 
- Roman Army Air Force Engages Chinese -
1915 – 1919​

As the small, mostly incomplete 2nd Army trudged across Asia toward the Chinese, the Roman recon forces already stationed in India received additional reinforcements. With these new forces and the constant pleading from Asoka for the Romans to do something against the Chinese, the Roman Military Command saw fit to change the objectives of the Indian Recon Force.

Once the latest batch of fighters arrived, they informed the Indian Recon Force Command of the new orders to begin engaging Chinese ground forces encroaching on Indian territory. With the new orders, the IRF began running daily missions against Chinese encampments and forces within Indian territory. Though they struck hard and fast and dealt massive amounts of damage, there were just too many Chinese to successfully strike them all.

Back in Africa, a few divisions of the 1st Army were created from the remnants and newly arriving reinforcements. These divisions were tasked with heading after Gao that had been discovered back in 1914. Roman Military Command knew they needed to knock the Malinese out of the war quickly before they could bring more of those tanks to bear.
 
Looking good, and like Mansa Musa said, "Keep going man!"
