One of the odder advisors the Queen had was Smellincoffee, whose personality quirks were poked fun at by most of the others. Smellincoffee's first time as high advisor to the queen is memorable.
In 2270, he took the oath of office, and immediately departed for other lands, as to assess the diplomatic situation. He returned to the queen, addressing her politely, and told her his concerns. "The Romans have some fanstastic weapon that propels a pointy stick a long distance. They said they would trade this for our knowledge of burial rites. The people led by
Hiwatha are in the same situation.The blessed Aztecs are lead by a glorious leader whose name is Montezuma. He also knows of this weapon, not to mention he has this thing called "the Wheel". He does not have a written alphabet. Most troubling, they don't even bury their ancestors. I proposed a deal with them, and they accepted."
------------------------------
Trade Alphabet to the Aztecs for Warrior Code, ten gold, and a worker. We still maintain our monoply on Ceremonial Burial.
2230: York worker done. Fortifies. Worker in London done roading. He and the slave start working ona mine. Rename exploring worker near Roman turf to "Cabot". Rename conscript
warrior exploring coast into Dr. Livingstone. Rename curraghs into the
Jolly Roger and
Prince of Wales.
2190: Archery contest; no clear winner, as no one knows how to fire the things correctly yet.
2150: Dissent over Smellincoffee's reign sees some settlers leaving London.
2110: Dr. Livingstone is ambushed by Illyurians. The brave doctor smashes them upside the head with a cuneaform tablet and wins the day. Cabot stumbles upon some Iberians who
lament the cruelties of Caesar. They trade maps with us. hoping we will someday kill off the Romans with some sort of horse that requires ivory.
2030: Burgundians send us troops.
1990: Our people celebrate the last decade of the millienum.
1950: That Burgundian fellow is killed by barbarians. I feel a French joke coming on.
1910: We notice some elephants near Rome.
Found Nottingham on the sea. The Romans are uppity-- they discovered how to turn bronze into some silverish metal. Big deal. Rocks are silver, too. Our advisors think it's valuable,
though.
1870: We inform our people that they need new calanders.
1790: We inform our navy to update their maps.
The Prince of Wales apparantly sunk following theirs. Apparently the seafaring people of London didn't like that; they run
Smellincoffee out of the town. Another advisor- who was seen giving money to several of the rioters- assumes the throne.
Guess that ivory will compensate that, I haven't started near ivory on C3C yet so I'm eager to finally see Zeus in action.
I doubt that I've even realised it...
well, let's see what I can do.
