I will also be updating it as often as possible, and will continue to do so until the story is done, I don't want to leave ya'll hanging in case you do enjoy it

Welcome to the forums!

Looking forward to the story, and welcome to CivFanatics!

First off is the conquest of Denmark in the early 1400's. Most of the world was busy with wars of expansion elsewhere, and had no time, or want, to help out Denmark when I went to war with him. He was behind me in Science, and had a weaker military then me. And in 1463, his capital finally fell

Spoiler :

Denmark's former cities were Ravencroft (Cap), Duskfall, and Castle Hodge

Next up is Persia and the Shoshone. These two are just south of the Tatsu empire, and have been going to war constantly since at least the 1000's. Both were equally matched, until Persia fell behind in Science somewhere in the 1700's. Seeing them as the weaker of the two, I gifted him some units (all of which were ahead of the Shoshone's units) and bribed him into war. Persia took Agadikia in 1911

Spoiler :

And now, Germany and America. Centered on another continent, these two were at war when the Tatsus first came across them, and have been going at it for a while. America's military used to be weaker than Germany's, but that changed in a recent war, where after they built up their military, they attacked Germany, taking Hamburg. The Tatsus later bribed America into war with Russia, prompting the fall of St. Petersburg

Spoiler :

Finally, the two everyone hates. Egypt and Mongolia have been on the butt end of two world wars each, and both have held strong, barring one Egyptian city that fell to the Mongols. Recently, Mongolia and England have been going at it, after the Tatsus bribed the Mongols to take York. York has been highly contested in recent years, falling to both sides several times

Spoiler :

That's all for now, the story itself will begin tonight; I'm just waiting for a couple more civs to enter the Modern Era. Stay tuned n.n

 

[White Tatsu]

Update, the hotel Internet here absolutely crap. I will update as soon as I get home tomorrow night. Sorry >w>

 

[Arexander]

Seems nice, although Egypt seems to have migrated into Great Britain, for some reason.

 

[Heerlo]

Subbed.

Welcome to the forums, btw!

Well ever since they nationalized their canal...

 

[White Tatsu]

Finally back home, shall post an update when I get settled in

Seems nice, although Egypt seems to have migrated into Great Britain, for some reason.

Britain is no where near a superpower in this game (Unsurprisingly, they always seem to be overrun and booted out of the game before the Industrial era)

Subbed.

Welcome to the forums, btw!

Thanks! Glad to be here

Also, Into the Future totally didn't inspire me to start this story. Nope. In no way

1943 AD. Mongolia and Kathmundu were warring to the north. Poland, Indonesia and Byzantium were having a bloody war in the west. The Ottomans slow destruction of the Zulus in the east. And just like that have been doing since their conquest of Denmark in 1463, the Tatsu Empire sat in the background, bribing these 'world powers' against each other, inciting war after war; and the slow weakening of the powers around the world. Following the rise of a new king in the Empire on 1942, White Tatsu, the Empire finally decided to take a more active approach in their dreams of world conquest. A new age was coming, but first they had to push through the dusk of war and conquest.


It began in 1943 AD when Persia, a long time rival of the neighboring Shoshone approached the new king and asked for assistance in a final push against the Indians. Accepting, the Empire moved a good chuck of it's military down towards Shoshone lands, and by sea, they sent the TMS Absol, Somnus, Asura, and Black. Once the forces were in place, war was declared

Spoiler :

First on the agenda was the sinking of a prominent Shoshone General off the coast of the Capital. Intel suggested he was returning from the Zulu continent across the sea, but it hardly mattered, his ship was no match for the frigate TMS Absol, and was swiftly sunk

Spoiler :

Second was the destruction of any Shoshone military surrounding the capital of Moson Kahni. The Shoshone used to have an excellent military, even rivaling superpowers like the Tatsus and the Ottomans. But after constant warring with Persia, their military was a wreck, and with Persian snipers to the west clearing up far away targets, and the fleet to the east slowly whittling down the rest, and the defenses of the city, the Shoshone military was swiftly defeated, leaving only the defenseless capital behind

Spoiler :

Taking Moson Kahni was relatively easy once the military was out of the way. With only an Artillery unit stationed inside to defend it, and with Persian sniper support to the west, the capital fell in short time, with the siege beginning in late 1948, and ending in April of the next year

Spoiler :

The final hurdle, with the war here anyway, was the final city of the Shoshone, Te-Moak to the south. A slightly smaller city, it was taken in less time than the capital. With hardly anything resembling a military left, the Tatsus broke through their final 'line' with ease, taking Te-Moak in early 1953.

Spoiler :

With the Shoshone war over, the Tatsus fortified their position all over the country, both newly added, and the original homeland. Having learned from constant watch over the rest of the world, they knew that there would be a 'righteous war' against them following the conquest of an entire culture. It was only a matter of time...

That's not supposed to be that year, is it?

Anyway, good update. You better watch out, because Darius might betray you and join in that "righteous war"!

I'm counting on that, though I'm much more concerned with Suleiman across the sea, with his huge freaking continent.


Also, fixed the year, thanks for that

Very nice, although you're missing the image tags in the spoiler.

Oh hey. Thanks, it's fixed now <.>

 

[White Tatsu]

There has been a problem. I can't access any game through mods, I am doing my very best to get the damn thing working, but it's going to take a while (It's also why I haven't updated). As soon as I get the stupid thing working, I'll post an update. Sorry guys

 

[White Tatsu]

After the war with the Shoshone, the Tatsu Empire had a rather surprising period of peace, waiting for a war that never came, fortifying the army and navy regardless, preparing for the next war. First off in the preparation would be the 're-taking' of Belgrade. After a coup was staged several years ago by Byzantium, a spy was moved to the city state, and after a short time, succeeded in staging another coup, overthrowing the Byzantium supporters.

Spoiler :

The war and destruction of the Shoshone would not go unnoticed, however, as a few Civilizations moved to denounce the Tatsus. Egypt, Poland, and Indonesia were the first, followed closely by Byzantium. However, no attack came.

Spoiler :

Across the sea, towards the Polish and Byzantium continent, Persia settled another city; Gordium. White quickly approached Darius, and bought the city from him. Though completely useless in terms of resources, barring some oil off the coast, it would prove as an excellent staging ground and launch point for the eventual war with Poland, however, this was a long ways off

Spoiler :

Then, in 1960, most of the world declared war on Mongolia, having had enough of their warmongering. First was Persia, Byzantium, Poland, Egypt, and England, followed closely by the Zulu Nation, America, and the Ottoman Empire in the following years. Seemed that Mongolia's days were numbered; as Hong Kong was liberated in just ten years...

Spoiler :

Across the ocean, Poland and Indonesia were still going at it against Byzantium. Poland had succeeded in taking Adrianople, and followed through with the capturing of Varna a few years later. Byzantium was slowly falling, now with their capital open from the south, it was only a matter of time

Spoiler :

1975 marked the mobilization of the southern army, a large force of infantry and some artillery ready to siege the Persia city of Susa. Several new bombers were stationed inside Moson Kahni for support. The line was drawn, all that remained was more units coming down to help out, and help secure victory. Defeat was not an option, Susa will fall. Only time was needed, and the Tatsu's had plenty of it...

Spoiler :

 

[White Tatsu]

I'm also going to take this time to one, thank ya'll for your patience, I finally fixed the thing, and updates will be more frequent now.

I'd also like to add, that I will be making this sort of interactive. If you guys have something you want me to do, or a suggestion as to what I should do next, just ask, and I will try and get it to happen n.n

 

[Heerlo]

Glad you got it fixed, and good update as well.
