@ Iggy: If Basket takes so long he's preparing something massive. I'm anxious to read his story...
@ Knupp: Welcome aboard! Oh eh uhm, yes sir! I'll see what can I do with, uh, coffee.
@ Dominus Romae: Great Leaders are NEVER in vacation. They live 6050 years and they never, NEVER take a vacation.
Short, but intense update.
Didn't say that before: I switched to Republic and got a massive -18 cash flow. Urgh.
Then I realize I had Polytheism at 5 turns with 70% Science. I put the slider back to 50, the tech still needs 5 turns, and I get a massive +55 gpt! Scary huge number for so early ages!
Well! The terrible news now:
630 BC
Guess WHAT? Shaka's UNDEADS! And guess what? He declares war! Guess against who? ME! And where damn they came from!
[SCREAM]

As you can see from the pic, if my Legios are still there that means they couldn't conquer my city. I was really lucky though.
I kill those 2 pesky undeads, and march towards Theveste, against the remainings of the Cannibal Empire. Er, of the Hannibal empire. Guess they couldn't be so civilized. Ah, progress.
I move stuff around and pass the turn. Afterall, it's not gonna be so difficult. I just gotta watch out for hidden Impis, er, Undeads to jump out from their darkness to sweep across my boundaries and take undefended cities. Luckily, a garrisoned Legio is a good match against units with 4 attack points.

As I didn't know, Shaka is renowned for throwing to his enemy everything he can throw. Not satisfied of having 4/2/2 Undeads, he thinks it's just not enough and calls to help his friend (?) Alex. Oh damn.
Furthermore, 2 (two) Zulu vessels have been sighted near my motherland boundaries. Hmmm. 2 Galleys = 4 Undeads = Run for cover! = [SCREAM]
Okay. I can support all of this. I can. Shaka, I encountered more hopeless situations that that. This is just not gonna give me a scratch!
Uh.
In my west boundaries of my homeland, I--4 (FOUR) Indian Galleys!
They all want THE HELP, er the HELL OF ME!
Okay.
SOLDIERS, UNLEASH THE HELL!
KILL THOSE UNDEADS!
EDIT: Ohh ohh, couldn't notice Basket already started his new story.
