For 3300 years the poor people of Chaos ... er, Theory ... er, Whatever have been subjected to warmongers and whippers and pranksters and surrender monkeys. For 3300 years they've crouched nervously in their rooms, wondering what cruel fate had in store for them next. Is it any surprise that the people have begun to look for solace in external forces? That maybe there was a being of luminous power that could be their salvation?
Well, even if they haven't, they're about to feel the Holy Hand of All Heck as ChrTh the First takes the bench.
And may God have Mercy on their souls!
Oh wait, that's the point!
Situation Assessment:
We have no faith (although to be fair, if I had lived in Chaos I probably would've gone Atheist a long time ago ...). Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism have all been founded. Buddhism has been founded by Genghis, Hinduism by Elizabeth, and it is unknown who has found Judaism (I'm guessing either Genghis or Liz since the founder has not converted). We do have Open Borders with Liz and Genghis, so that's good as it makes it more likely our people can find faith.
In terms of tech, we're wicked behind in the religious techs. I'm tempted to preempt Alphabet, but since it will allow us to grab the religious techs far more efficiently I decide to stick with it.
Our cities have also turned inward, changing their names to Comfort, Solace, and Holy Terror. Solace realizes that a granary before obelisk is freakin' stupid because we need copper to smite our enemies of the faith (whatever it turns out to be). Comfort is not growing ... and the people realize that a library may help them find their faith, so they gladly give their lives to hurrying its construction.
Our military is not equipped to spread our faith (whatever it turns out to be). These may turn out to be my major focus this turn.
Turn 1 -- 675 BC
Comfort: Library > Granary
Holy Terror: Warrior > Library
Oracle BIFL
Turn 2 -- 650 BC
Barbarian nears Comfort ...I thought one of the ten thousand warriors wandering in our territory would've dealt with them
Turn 3 -- 625 BC
Mercy in Killing defeats Barb Warrior.
There are barbs
everywhere.
Turn 4 -- 600 BC
I love tree hugging kills a Barb Warrior.
Holy Terror sacrifices 25% of its population to finish its library so it too can search for a new faith.
Turn 5 -- 575 BC
Barb dies attacking Solace.
Holy Terror: Library > Warrior
Open Borders with Cathy
Turn 6 -- 550 BC
Barbs threaten Holy Terror...I'm hoping Liz's Warrior attempts to take them out...
Confucianism FIDL
Turn 7 -- 525 BC
Liz sucks. Her warriors run. Fortunately the Barbs die attacking Holy Terror.
Holy Terror: Warrior > Settler
Vicky converts to Confucianism, so we know she has Code of Laws.
With all the barbs about, I send a warrior to guard our worker pair.
Turn 8 -- 500 BC
Turn 9 -- 475 BC
Cathy demands we cancel our deals with the English ... um, she doesn't tell us which one
... since both English have a religion, I say NO!
Turn 10 -- 450 BC
Solace: Obelisk > Granary
Barbs approach Solace ... will hopefully die attacking next turn.
Well, that was a heathen set of turns. Unhappy with ChrTh the First's inability to bring light unto the masses, the masses burn him to a crisp. They rename their cities in the hope of purging his memory from history, but signs point to the fact that they may not succeed...

- my personal fav. With regards your immoral question - I would think that you should give yourself a wedgy - now that would be a great prank. You are just lucky I am at work and I cannot rename the cities (again).
I have a favour to ask though - for those of you whose sigs don't mention which role you're playing, could you either add that to them or post it when you post a turnset? It makes lurking more fun (and fractionally less confusing, heh)
