Divine Intervention Resurrection I: The Wrath of Khan

[ilduce349]

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!! Hold on, who the hell destroyed 4 of the praetorians guarding the coast's new my city?????????????????????????????
They will pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ravus_Sol]

They were hell minions? Sorry i assumed they were barbarians, they didn't have any names to indicate they were anything but barb warriors.

euugh I was trying to cast Ravus as a hidden god who couldn't do divine interventions, all the changes i made to the map were indicative of past empires and mortal chain of events. If you'd mentioned that i'd made a mistake and i would have edited my post. Could you not come up with any other way to retcon it without blaming the Ravus God and saying i was doing some convulted plan to make the units hate toaism. Please? I only did that edit to balance out the god-war you were having, Ravus the character was not involved.

 

[ilduce349]

K, I Will change my story.

 

[ilduce349]

They were hell minions? Sorry i assumed they were barbarians, they didn't have any names to indicate they were anything but barb warriors.

"So to ensure your victory, I give you my minions from hell"

"What is that?"

"It is 200 000 people. However they have no weapons their only power is their shear size. They will follow you to the death."

As I don't no how to put signs in the game like you and the other gods are (pathetic right?) The only thing I could do was name all of them, and I didn't want to name 40 warriors to hells minion #1, #2 etc.

 

[ilduce349]

I researched CoL and I founded Islam. WHAT?

Since Confusism all ready has a holy city and you where the first to get code of laws you still got a religion

 

[Ravus_Sol]

Spoiler NFNE :

Yeah i know, my mistake for rushing.

As for the pratorians i think it has something to do with america going to war with the kahn. i think some american and mongol units were on the same island so when they declared war they got shifted around. then when kahn or america founded the city with the settler they got shifted around even more by getting pused out of their borders....

so they may still be around. Somewhere.

 

[ilduce349]

Checked, no cities, but that probably makes sense

Edit, replaced the c in checked with a capital C because Arakhor was complaining

 

[Arakhor]

Hasn't anyone heard of using spoilers? Ilduce, please don't fill half your post with punctuation or capitals, as it looks thoroughly juvenile.

 

[ilduce349]

as everyone was complaining earlier on, I try my best to do it now. But looking at my two previous posts, I see no punctuation error, but that could just be my dyslexia

 

[NinjaCow64]

Could you guys do your edits soon? I would really like to play.

@iduce349: I think that two of your pretorians are underneath my Settler! It was really weird, when I declared war on Lincoln my settler and other units were moved to other areas. It moved the pretorians underneath my Settler. Shouldn't that kill the settler? Weird. Also, could you move my Settler back on top of the Copper? It makes it impossible to build anything good!

What? are you saying the crazy thing is the americans reappearing or being able to choose religions?

The Pictures aren't in chronological order. Well, not the last two anyway. It may have seemed like the Americans had resettled but they hadn't, it was just the order of the pics. I didn't have Choose Religions on, that's why the Islam thing is so weird.

Here is the save:

They were back on the hill. Still a nice view, undoubtedly, but somewhat tainted by recent events. Oh well. Snefru didn't seem to mind that much, except when he was dwelling on ill-informed ideas of justice. Like now.

"It's not fair, Geoff!" he exclaimed, stabbing his staff into the ground as he walked. "Who gave them the right to use my sheep! Eh?"

The dog stayed silent, knowing that the anger would pass soon enough, and all would be well again in due course.

"It makes me sick! I feel so angry I could... I could stab that rock with the staff!"

And he did. An admittedly mundane act, but with dire consequences. As the staff hit the ground, there was a steady crescendo of rumbling, distant at first, the louder, until -

"What the?!"

Water came sprouting out of the ground, then another sprout, and another, each one jetting high into the air. Then cracks began to appear, the rumbling got louder, the ground was giving way...

"Run!"

***********************************************************

It was over. The shepherd and the dog stood on the brink of the new shoreline, looking at the damage that had been done. The mountain had collapsed; releasing the river that flew from its body out, flooding the land. Most of the sheep had perished.

"Er, Geoff, tell me I didn't do that."

"You did that, master."

"That's not what I said..."

"But that's what you did."

"Oh no, I'm not having this, you'd need godlike powers for that."

"Ah, well, yeah, that's the problem. You are a god."

"Yes, I know, but really, you'd have to be a proper full-on god with powers and stuff for that!"

"You are a 'full-on god with powers and stuff.'"

"You're taking the piss.."

"Listen to me, master! All that crap about you being the Divine Shepherd is true."

"But... Don't say that, Geoff, that was just a game! Messing around! Bit of a laugh!"

"Oh, every bloody time... You're a god, Snefru. You just keep forgetting it. You find out, and then you forget, find out, forget. You'll forget about this eventually, and the we start all over again..."

"Why would I forget that I'm a god?"

"You, er, must. Out of shame. The embarrassment of being the Divine Shepherd will get to you eventually, and you choose to forget it."

There was silence, and nothing left, except the blank face of the Divine Shepherd looking out over the water.

Spoiler NFNE :

Flooded a bit of land next to Karakorum.

Hi assuming I’m not too late to the party this is my first intervention.
Although I would appreciate some help with my edit for this one so could someone edit these changes in for me.

Spoiler NFNE :

• 
  A peice of grassland is turned to Jungle somewhere between America and Khan
  A Landmark there entitled "The Borehole Cluster"
  Marble, Stone and gems to be placed around "The Borehole cluster"
  Add more jungle all over the planet.

It was Dark. The moon shone over the sleeping plains. The star and moon light illuminated the grass and suddenly there was a movement. The turf started to move, like it was being pushed up from underneath. Out of the soil a clawed hand, like that of a Lizard’s, came up above the ground.

------------------------------------------------------------
A Previous Cycle

Scientist peered into the box. It was lined with a rare metal compound known only to be found in the foothills around Madrid. Bursting through the door stepped a woman. Like the other scientists she wore a white lab coat but they all knew her. She struck fear in their hearts. It was Isabella. Queen of all the Spanish peoples.
She too peered into the box.

Inside sat a lizard a green one roughly 1 meter long. Its eyes flickered with fear. From the outside it looked merely like a trapped Lizard but that showed nothing of its former glory.

It was the lizard. Lord of the Jungle. Chosen of the North, scourge of the south. Slayer of many foes. Ally to the high emperor Montezuma and God of the King Brennus. He was a God and the most earthy of all the gods.

To his followers this was good as he was in touch with reality and the problems of everyday life. But to his enemies it was also good. For he was the easiest god to kill.

The mighty queen Isabella looked complacently down on the quivering lizard. 'How pathetic' she thought 'that a god should be so mortal as this'. "Kill him," She said "Make it a long and painful death."

"The God-Slayer is ready, Ma'am." said a nervous scientist.

"Slowly," She said with growing malevolence "Very slowly."

Slowly a liquid filled the container. It was a solution made from the same thing that lined the box and slowly the liquid seeped in. As soon as it touched the lizard the poor thing rived in pain but fortunately for it did not take long. A chameleon spy, one of the lizard’s agents, sent a poisoned dart into the chest of the god, giving him a dignified and quick death.

The Underworld.

The Lizard stepped forward. The gates closed behind him. He swore he would escape.
------------------------------------------------------------------

The Claw emerged out of the ground. "WE ARE FREE" It shouted. "WE ARE LIZARDMIND." It had a habit of addressing itself in the third person. Mainly because it spoke for a greater collective consciousness. 'Reunited,' It thought 'Reunited with the Junglemind.' It had a more pressing matter to attend to. As it moved Jungle sprung up around it and it began to cry out once again. "Revenge, Revenge is what we need. We will destroy-kill the witch-queen. She will die. We will make Ally. But who." It mused in a similar manner for a few more minutes then suddenly "Wait" It said "We Sense other old enemy. Not good we will revenge him too. Then before he could continue scheming a chariot went past, then another and another. The lizard ducked for cover but it was too late and was crushed. It died. In another part of the world another lizard's mind was suddenly filled with the Mind of the God (Such is the advantage of being an all powerful member of a mental collective hive) the god looked and the body it now inhabited. It was a gecko 'How quaint' he thought briefly. Then he screamed in anger and rage into the sky: "KHAN, KHAN, KHAN." Realizing how cliché that remark was and decided instead to go back to scheming his vengeance.

[ilduce349]

Ilduce looked at the world, things where improving, that villain Lincoln was killed, his head situated outside the khans tent. He was unpleased. Confucianism was a worry, and he still was still living in this stupid cave.
A few problems had risen. The Settlers he had given life to where under constant fear. The barbarians were getting closer, and as a result they could not build a city. Time was running out, he gave the people bronze, so they could build a defensive army. The settler was still worried, they where trapped on a desert island with 8000 barbarians pursuing them. He decided to remind them of their quest by marking the route to his city.

Meanwhile the barbarians tribes where attacking the khan. He decided to show them a better place to attack. He hated the English, they believed in Confucianism, which preached that he was the devil. They deserved to be punished, but the gods would not allow it. He traveled the lands looking for small barbarian tribes, he gave them weapons, and told them where to attack, it was up to them now.

Spoiler :

A few changes
added a lot of clam up north
got rid of all the barbarians on our continent and moved them to the english lands, replaced the unit from warriors and archers to be axeman and preats.
added a bronze where the settler is
I didn't do Roberts changes because I was to lazy

I would appreciate some help with my edit for this one so could someone edit these changes in for me.

I'm not at my civ computer at the moment so I was asking if someone could edit the save for me.

 

[Ravus_Sol]

He can't post a save as he needs someone else to do his edits.

OOC: Just some more story.

In the heart of his green citadel the Lizardmind plotted. The warmbloodevilphsycopathicwitchqueen would be defeated, the warmbloodkhan would be punished and the warmbloodedfauningcapitalistpigdogpublican would also be humiliated.

This Article of the Encyclopeia Lustrinia on the Lizardspeak naming system could be helpful.

It is widely known by scholars of Lizardspeak that the names given by lizards to members other species are often more like descriptions usually starting with the creatures Blood (E.g Warmblood/warmblooded or Coldbeing/Coldstream). For example a famous relation was that between a lizard called Geckogreentail and Warmbloodmontezuma. Here it can also be noted that the lizards do not use this principle when referring to other reptilian creatures or when talking about themselves, this could possibly be because of the strong psychic bond between all jungle creatures as covered in chapter 8. Another curious thing about lizard naming is that names are often affected by how much the naming lizard likes the person. This name is then passed on to all other jungle dwellers along with the strong sense of dislike. Therefore it is easy for the Jungle culture to make enemies. A good example of this is when the lizards first encountered warmbloodedfauningcapitalistpigdogpublican. This encounter took place when warmbloodedfauningcapitalistpigdogpublican picked up a lizard by the tail and shook it. though there was no real implications to the entire lizard race a bad impression was formed of warmbloodedfauningcapitalistpigdogpublican because of this.

Another Article of the Encyclopedia Lustriania will also be produced here to reveal the nature of the Lizardmind and a bit about the Junglemind.

The Junglemind is the Lizardspeak word given to the giant communal conciseness shared by all of the Jungle creatures; from the mighty Daragow tree to the humble Grebe-beetle. This psychic bond (As described in section 1) provide almost instantaneous communication and impeccable efficiency. There is also a large Importance placed on a single consciousness in the mass of thought. That of the Lizardmind. It is said that the Lizardminds body is not that of an earthly creature but that he is a great lizard holding a seat at the Parthenon of the gods. It is said also that his seat resides next to that of the God of trees and the god of the fishes. His usual manifestation though is that he puts his consciousness onto other lizards he is most commonly known to take on the body of a "Basiliscus basiliscus - The Common basilisk" This is rather large green coloured animal with amazing strength.

During the 5th cycle the person known as warmbloodevilphsycopathicwitchqueen discovered a way to kill a god. She did not, of course, have the power to catch a god who did not spend any of their time on the earth as she could not catch something that was in the heavens. She did however find a way to block out the Psychic field that connects all the jungle and also serves as the way the LIzardmind travels. She managed to catch the Lizardmind and was therefore able to kill it. This has lead her to being one of the only mortals to slay a god. It is unknown as to what has happened to the Lizardmind now although it is commonly accepted that it languishes in the underworld guarded by Pavlos god of the underworld.

That last fact is now (as you have probably guessed) obsolete. The Lizardmind has escaped from the underworld and now reigns the empire of the Jungle once again.
------------------------------------------------

A message appeared to the gods.

All of them heard it and it sent a shiver down most of their spines. To think that what was once a peaceful and calm being could be turned to such anger and rage, it was distressing. But it was possibly the first being to return from the underworld. That was a concept few could comprehend.

FOR THE GODS ONLY (But of course if a god wishes to then they may say what the letter entails to the Mortal as a reward or act of trust)

Spoiler NFNE :

If you aren't a god please don't read this it would mess up my whole scheme

Spoiler NFNE :

I am serious. Don't read this unless you are a god. If you are a mortal that is not participating then I may be lenient. MAY.

Spoiler :

Greeting fellow Gods.
I Return. This message is a warning to you and to your petty Warmblood friends on the planet below. I return for my vengeance my revenge. She tasks me. She tasks me, and I shall have her! I'll chase her 'round the moons of Nibia, and 'round the Antares maelstrom, and 'round Perdition's flames, before I give her up! From Hell's heart, I'll stab at her. For Vengeance is mine. Mine to give to whom I will. You should fear for your petty friends.
A clump of resources I have created. This will be Khan's punishment I'll do far worse than kill him... I'll hurt him. And I wish to go on hurting him. Any advance made on these resources will result in the utter devastation of the settlement. I will make sure he pays this price by sending him a quaint device the Warmbloodedbrownclads call a letter. He shall lose and I shall leave her as she left me – as you left her – marooned for all eternity at the center of a dead planet. Buried alive...buried alive! For I am Lizardmind, God of the Jungle and REVENGE.

For the Mortal Warmbloodkhan.
We are the Lizardmind, we are a god.
We give you precious stones.
A place we call "Borehole Cluster".
Have a nice time.
We know you like precious stones.

Lizardmind

I am going to be away for the next few days. I will try to play on Monday afternoon (GMT +10). Could you guys finish the edits by then? And could some one please do Robert's changes for him? That would be great.

Happy Editing
