Before i started, I adjusted the tax rate to maximise income with out decreasing turns till complete.
2110 B.C. - As preperations come to completion, Emporer Waco orders the 10,000 or so citizens wou wish to relocate to take the north road out of town and not to turn back. Rome shifts production to spearmen. Taught the weel to the Egyptians for 107 gold.
2070 B.C. - The wrethced Germans from the north attack our warriors NE of Rome!! The Germans are defeated in a bloody battle by our glorious army, and for their bravory, Emperor Waco promotes them to veteran class.
2030 B.C. - Veii has completed it's spearmen and begins to build settlers for further expansion. The workers near Veii continue to work on infrastructer there so as to promote further growth. Antium is founded north of Rome in a location picked by the Emperor himself, much to the disgust of his advisors (hey, it has production potential down the road. So sue me!). To celebrate it's addition to the Empire, the people of Antium train spearmen, as strange as that may sound.
1990 B.C. - The Emperor has the "spearmen in training" in Rome drop their spears and pick up shovels, for they will instead become workers of the land. With the few years of training as spearmen under their belt, this just become the most powerful group of workers this side of Sparta!!
(in other words, nothing exciting happened this turn).
1950 B.C. - Feeling a road to Antium a necessity, Waco orders the workers @ Veii to begin a trek to Antium to...well...build a road.
1910 B.C. - Waco is interrupted during his afternoon feast by his cultural advisor to be told that the French have begun building the colossus. The advisor is beheaded shortly thereafter. No one interrupts the emperor during a meal. On an expitition north our archer discovers the villiage of Hamburg.
1870 B.C. - A Greek archer approaching Antium is attacked by our warriors. We are beaten and Waco orders that no one ever speak of it again, or face sudden death.
1830 B.C. - Our veteran warriors avenge the life of their fallen comrade's while wiping another smug Greek army off the map
1790 B.C. - Having left Antium unoccupied to finish the campaign against the Greek archer, the Bismark felt it necessary to move their own archer next to the city. Feeling Antium is too important to loose, Waco offers a peace treaty and gives up 120 gold. Hopefully this will deter the Germans from further advancement on our cities.
1750 B.C. - The Germans head east, leaving Antium alone. As if on cue, Antium's spearmen are completed, and Rome complete's its worker. Rome begins training a chariot, whose mobility makes them a good scout.
1725 B.C. - Ahh...Lutetia has finished it's temple of worship. They have been ordered to build a settler for...well...you know why. Waco contacts his old flame in Joan De Ark and asks her what it would cost for her to teach him writing. She said 180 gold and contact with the greeks (in the old days, all the kid had to do to get a favor from Joan was...um...nevermind). After a few bottles of fine roman wine, the kid asked for Iron Working. She gave in for contact with Egypt and 90 gold (she's so easy). With the horses we have, the kid felt it necessary to work on horse back riding, well, just because.
1700 B.C. - Zzzzzz....moved some troops...Zzzzzzzz.
1675 B.C. - <See above>
1650 B.C. - Veii has completed settler, they will now build a worker.
1625 B.C. - Cultural expansion in Lutetia. Settler and spearment head east from Veii to colonize new territory. Peace treaty with Greece. We also receive contact with babalon (man they are a backward people). Babalon offers contact with Persians for pottery, Waco counters with 13 gold - they accept.
1600 B.C. - <See 1700 B.C.>
1575 B.C. - Archer built in Antium. They will now comence with a temple.
1550 B.C. - Our warriors searching SW of Veii come accross a Barbaric villiage and are given orders to stand down. Waco feels they are no threat as of now and will be dealt with in time. First it is necessary to explore.
1525 B.C. - Cumae is built east of Rome. Spearmen are being built there for no particular reason. Ahh... a road to our only Iron source has been compleated triggering Rome to begin production on an elite group of warriors developed by Waco himself - Legionary. "It's gonna get ugly," the kid is heard saying.
1500 B.C. - The Greeks are buiklding Collosus and the French have begun the pyramids. Woo Hoo!! A goody hut!
MAY 11, 1500 B.C. - It was a cool spring nite, the sun had just set, and Emperor Waco decided to retire early that nite after a long day of fishing on the Po river. A brisk breeze flowed in through the widow, pushing the curtains into the air, whilst the moon purged its light between the trees, laying a blanket of shadow creatures over the room where a ruler of men slept. These creatures swayed in the wind, as if to strangle all who presided within. At a moment late into the night, a tresspassor crept in through Waco's chamber, barefoot, so as to make no noise. In his hand he held a knife. He steped closer and thrust the dagger into the Emperor's throat, so he would not screem. Twice he thrust it into the kid's chest. Waco never awoke. The knife which before glistened in the moons light, now cried the blood of an empire. An Empire with no leader. Rome would also cry that night, for who would lead her...Only time will tell.........
Summary - well, we have legionary now, and should start building them so we can start our conquest. The area West of rome has a horse and an Iron, and we could probably fit at least 3 cities over there. The road to Cumae should be completed in great haste. We are at peace with everyone as of now, and should so remain untill we build enough legionary. First off I would look the the west to colonize. But that's just my opinion.

, maybe this in addition to why Paris was left unguarded will remain a mystery forever.
