Chap. 8 - Greek Expansion

Somewhere in ancient Greece...

Alexander: Alright, this is taking sooo long...
Shotgun: I'm sorry, sire.
Alexander: Sorry, my foot-

Slap!

Alexander: OW!
Christos: I thought you wanted us to be sorry about your foot
Alexander: Ugh... What's for dinner?
MoreEpicThanYou: Fresh... SPAM!
Alexander:
MoreEpicThanYou: Well... we could eat not-so-fresh spam...
Alexander:
MoreEpicThanYou: Ok, OK!
Shotgun: Sire, there is a leader here to see you...
Alexander: Send him in, maybe he has something besides FISH or SPAM!
Christos: I can't find any trades.

A tall dark man with a beard walks in.

Saladin: Greetings, Alexander! May the heavens bestow upon you an empire only slightly less glorious than mine!



Alexander: I'm sure you'd love that... now, would you like to have some fish?
Saladin: I'm not too big on seafood.
Alexander: Aww...
Saladin: GTG.

Saladin leaves...

Alexander: GTG? Text talk?
Shotgun: IDK...
Alexander:

Shotgun: Sire, a man who calls himself Tokugawa asks for your presence.
Alexander: Send him in...

Tokugawa does a backflip into the building.
Tokugawa: (muffled talking)



Alexander: You can take off the mouth-thingy.
Tokugawa: Hey man, want peace?
Alexander: I guess?
Tokugawa: Radical, dude. Catch ya later...
Tokugawa leaves...

Alexander: Ok, please tell me something good for a change!
Shotgun: Saladin wants open borders...



Alexander: Sign him up. I can march though Arabia and get to Egypt easier!
MoreEpicThanYou: Epic plan!
MantaRevan: We discovered Priesthood!



Alexander: We need a religion...
MantaRevan: Don't look at me.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Brandon Herren: Umm, what's that beeping noise?
General Olaf: I dunno...
Topsecret: It's time for us to leave...
Strodon: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Topsecret: See ya later!

What IS that beeping noise?

 

[MantaRevan]

"Alexander: We need a religion.
MantaRevan: Don't look at me."

Sweet.

Chapter I can't remember what 9: Newspapers and The Oracle.

Aldo Raine: Sire, I am here to report that we have completed one of the greatest accomplishments in all of human history!
Alexander: Pass the salt.
Aldo Raine: Well, we, the Spartans, have finished the... Newspaper.
Alexander: NEWSPAPER? Newspaper, the greatest achievement ever?
Aldo Raine: Sire, calm down! Here, take a look:

Spoiler Newspaper :

1440 BC - The Greek Journal - 1280 BC

Corinth Founded! - 1440 BC​

Spoiler :

Corinth was founded today. The mayor, Sir Eat-a-Lot, thanked everyone for their hard work and especially thanked the women for cooking so much food! Also, rumor has it those salad loving Romans have sent a settler somewhere up north.

Roman city pushing cultural limits! - 1280 BC​

Spoiler :

Caesar has outraged the Greek masses! He had the gaul gall to found a city right on our borders! Some Greeks, especially Shotgun and MoreEpicThanYou, are pushing for war soon!

Aldo Raine: So whadda ya think?
Alexander: We still need a religion.
MantaRevan: I hate sacrifice...
Alexander: So... have we got any wonders completed?
General Olaf: Nothin' much... just The Oracle...
Alexander: Which technology did they give us?
MantaRevan: Monarchy, naturally!
Alexander: Good, now that I'm king, we need a portrait of me!
MantaRevan: Here ya go -
Alexander:
MantaRevan:
Alexander: We gotta go now...
Strodon: But Fredrick said we could trade...
Christos: Trade? TRADE? TRADE!
Alexander: Gotta go... what IS that beeping noise?

YES! GO CAESAR! Kill those greeks with your legions!

 

[brandon.herren]

Flip the Roman City!!!

 

[hoplitejoe]

That city in Russia must be killing you in maintenance.

 

[thecaesar]

That city in Russia must be killing you in maintenance.

Now where have I heard that before...?

 

[topsecret]

Now where have I heard that before...?

Crushing Russia is all part of THE PLAN!
Oops, maybe I shoulda kept the plan secret

 

[thecaesar]

Woot!

 

[christos200]

Once again great update.

 

[topsecret]

Hey guys, no time for an update right now, but I'll give you a photo

 

[MoreEpicThanYou]

This is why I chose Military Advisor.

 

[topsecret]

This is why I chose Military Advisor.

There's more
I just didn't show da next picture

 

[thecaesar]

Sparta seems to have died.

And also Rome has iron. Praets! WOOT!

 

[MantaRevan]

Sparta seems to have died.

And also Rome has iron. Praets! WOOT!

You're fanatically roman, aren't you.

 

[topsecret]

Sparta seems to have died.

And also Rome has iron. Praets! WOOT!

I gave it away to someone because of maintnence, to pay for my anti-Rome Military

 

[thecaesar]

You're fanatically roman, aren't you.

Nooooo!

Anyways, Christos makes up for it by being even more fanatically Greek.

And I am being Qin Shi's advisor in this one, because the AI Caesar just can't compete with any competent player. But Qin the super-REXer has a chance.

 

[MantaRevan]

I thought perhaps I could be fanatically Japanese, but I decided against it, particularly since my avatar goes so well with my name

 

[topsecret]

My next game will be as Rome on RFC
New Image:



Notes: This is our swordsman crushing a Roman archer
Yes, I'll try to update soon...
Don't worry Aldo, I renamed Corinth - Sparta.
