Oh! I thought it was "unrestricted leaders".
mod was Road to war here
Hatshepsut looked at her three main advisors and sighed. They had been bickering for days about where to settle down and raise a civilization. Hatty raised her hand, and instantly all of the talking, yelling, screaming, punching and gnawing between her advisors stopped. "Okay, can you tell me again what the hell you're yelling about?"
The military advisor, Brutus Scin, quickly said, "We should settle further north, near the sea. We will have decent production, the ability to build a navy, and we can take out our rivals, the evil Arabians quicker."
Hatty nodded, and said "Logical, violent, evil... I like it. Orion, your view point?"
Orion Starr, the science advisor, stuttered, "Your h-highness, w-we should settle i-in place, were w-we are n-now. The abundant f-floodplains allow m-more growth, and the stone and m-marble near b-by g-give us production a-and commerce t-to g-get a head-start in science, and c-consturct The Oracle f-faster. R-right?"
Hatty nodded again, and said "I like it... now, go home and take a shower. You're sweating like a dog."
"W-we h-haven't invented sh-showers yet, m-m-ma'am."
"GO!"
"O-okay..."
"Anyway, Christen, your turn." Hatty turned to look at Christen Vishnu, the Religious Advisor, who was already standing up.
"My liege, we should settle west, towards the desert, the holiest land know to both man and gods. Besides, a vision told me that the abundant floodplains are nothing more than poison."
Hatty began cracking up. "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Orion, we're going with your idea... Orion?"
Brutus spoke up. "My liege? His body just washed up outside. Apparently when you told him to take a shower, he jumped in the Nile."
Hatty suppressed a giggle, and said "How sad. Anyway, we settle here!"
Christen scowled, and said, "You'll regret this..."
Hatshepsut the 1st was found in her palace, dead, five days later. She had died of eating poison crops, grown near the Nile. When Christen Vishnu was asked for comment, he just said "I told her so."
That was an enlightening view on the civ military, and absolutely hilarious. On a related note, I actually used a chariot in the year 2015 during my "blitzrieg" (thanks to it, Saladin's size 14 city was mine on the first turn of the war) Difficulty:warlord
