Admiral Kutzov
Idiot Emeritus
Once upon a time there was a boy. He had a "special" friend that nobody else could see. His friend's name was Igor.
One night, after attending the local football game, the boy came home and went to "sleep". Igor, however, wasn't tired. He went digging in the fridge and found a "certain element" called beer. Well the beer smelled nice. It tasted nice too. So, igor had another. That one smelled nice and tasted nice too. So, he had another. Igor briefly diverted for a trip to the loo to shake his sword (whatever that means) and then he had another. You get the picture.
The Igor found the boy's prized computer had been left on. In all of Igor's life, this had never happened. The boy had always been very careful about turning the computer off and putting it where Igor couldn't find it, but, tonight, the boy was "tired" and went to sleep without putting away his toys (Aesop write this down, maybe you can get a fable out of it).
Igor was fascinated with the pretty colors of the computer so he decided to change things. He changed Groningen to a settler, wasting 12 shields in the process; he changed Eindhoven to a duct; and he changed The Hague (is that like an ancient crone?) to a settler.
Being a simple idiot, Igor had no idea what he had done. So he watched lots of pretty boats sail around twice. Being simple, Igor decided that watching the boats wasn't enough so he decided to sell engineering to the funny man called Mao in the fur hat. The funny fur hat guy was so pleased that he gave igor 3gpt, 27g, and some useless trinket called Monarchy.
Igor then watched the pretty boats sail some more.
In 290AD, Igor decided he need some more money to keep up the research (whatever that is; it sure wasn't anywhere near as big as his spear). So, he sold the Republic to the Maya for 45g.
This game wasn't nearly as fun as it was the first time, so Igor watched the boats some more. That was getting boring so Igor decided to press the button marked "B" on the toy, thinking it would make the growling polar bear appear. The bad bear failed to appear, but a new city popped out, like a bun from an oven. Igor called the new city iron delft since he thought that meant brainiac. Then igor went for another one of those beer thingys.
In 330AD, Igor sold dyes to Pachutti for 120g. igor was really tired of that pink color so he popped a GH and lo what to his wandering eyes should appear but three vandals. Igor killed one cause they were mean.
Mean pink guy came calling in 340 and demanded Igor's lunch money. Being simple, and wishing to preserve the internal harmonics of the world, Igor caved to the big bad pink bully.
Then Igor drew a picture.
Igor spent lots of time on his picture but he wasn't happy with the result. He wondered if a "jester" could explain how to resize?
Igor was very proud of his playing so he decided to let everyone else see it
he who shall not be named shall eventually be destroyed

Ip?
Playing now (and I'll be making that trade, btw).
Well, 2 of the 3 cities I settled were in Igor's positions anyway...
