After many long years of wandering the plains, the vicious Indian warriors decide to settle and spread their "influence" throughout the world. They choose for their first city a spot within the protection of forest with many productive grasslands surrounding.
Several years following, his people spoke of a huge animal who have tusks made of a lovely substance, which the commoners love very much.
They choose as their leader a malevolent warrior whom they call "Ex". Being the lazy soul he is, he declares that he and his people shall never re-settle, and live off this one city they have founded. Every city his mighty armies capture shall be burned to the ground as a sign to anyone who dares confront him.
Ex's first act of business was to choose a research path as designated by his sooth-sayers. They speak of a precious metal called "bronze" which could allow for hardier defenders who wield a weapon they call a "spear"; he is intrigued, and sends his alchemists away to unlock its secrets.
The years droll on, and once Ex had found his armies strong enough (3 warriors), he declares the construction of a barracks to train his warriors like veterans.
A few years later (3350 BC) Ex's alchemists came up with a solution to their bronze woes. Ex sighs in relief and relishes the moment he may train his veteran spearman, personally. He announces that he himself shall begin work on writing a Warrior Code, to be finished in several years.
After hearing of a barbarian people called the "Egyptians", Ex decides that they must be DESTROYED. He demands they attack at once! They rebel, as they describe the existence of a holy defender that wields a long stick of bronze. Ex laughs, "Ha! I can train us those warriors any day! ATTACK!" Out of sheer loyalty his warriors attack the barbarian city of Thebes. They fight honorably, but only end up dismantling the Egyptian spearman, but apparently he still lives.
"WHAT?" Ex yelled once he heard the terrifying news. "They failed? My warriors? INSULT!" He was rumored to have murmured under his breath that he would kill Cleopatra personally, but no one has ever proven such a statement truthful...
Well, basically the big thing is we lost the warrior gambit and we're at war with the Egyptians. I cut off barracks production and madde a spearman, and currently am working on a second. Watch the Egyptians - make peace ASAP. They could ruin everything. We also hooked up some Ivory, so don't worry about happiness. Good luck, ChrTh!!
Oh yeah, 15 turns max, I like to play 10.
Here is the situation:
