PART THREE:
The (Extremely Bloody and Drawn-Out) Spanish- English War. (And….you know…..other stuff
In 375 AD, the English Empire, under the emperor Matthias was asked by Julius Caesar (Prepare fourth round of Salad in jokes) to convert to Buddhism. Matthias wasn’t going to convert, but, at the sight of a huge Buddhist riot with a whole lot of people rubbing bellies, Matthias decided to convert, like all the other European powers. (The fact that Julius Caesar said it brought everlasting life probably didn’t hurt, either. Remember, Matthias IS 4375 years old. That’s a lot of candles. :lol

) Also, for some reason, someone did a census and revealed there were one million people in the English Empire. (And that was AFTER all the illegals were deported.

)
In 425 AD, the archer regiment stationed at London was ordered to move to Paris. They were unhappy at first, but, after hearing Paris had good wine, they hopped aboard the HMS Serapis and sailed away.
In 450AD, Cyrus arrived at London to try to negotiate open borders. Mainly because he presented no fear of renewal of the Salad in jokes, his request for open borders was denied and he was sent away in shame. Also, the researchers had come back with the secrets of Construction. They were not fat anymore (Physical labor

) and showed Matthias how to build huge Coliseums to entertain fat Buddhists by killing off prisoners (Very warlike Buddhists.

). Matthias then demanded that they start on figuring out how to ride horses. Mainly due to the fact that horses didn’t like to be ridden, this had never happened before.
In 475AD, the four HMA swordsmen battalion is mobilized from Paris. They board they HMS Galley Fleet, and sail for the previously scouted final French city of Orleans.
500AD was a danger for English units in Paris. Two warriors came near the city, but were apparently scared off by the archers. EYEWITNESS REPORT: “As they came close to Paris, the inhabitants, who were mostly English, started throwing salad at them. After being pelted by lettuce, the fat warriors retreated.”
In 520AD, the HMA Swords Regiments arrived near Orleans.
In 540AD, the HMA regiments attack and sack Orleans. It is destroyed and salt placed on its farms, so nothing could ever grow again.
560AD was a busy year in the English Empire. Paris realized the stupidity of rioting against the clearly superior English. Resigned, they then started on a Barracks. Both London and York finished their markets and spent pounds spending and spent pounds walking. (Haha. I made a funny.

)Also, mounted researchers arrived in London to prove they had discovered Horseback Riding. Matthias immediately got a huge horse to make him look more regal. After about five minutes, when people stopped being amazed and found out that the horses smelt like….um….well….poo, Matthias angrily stated “Idiots! You brought a smelly horse into the Imperial Palace! Guards! Find me new researchers!” The old researchers later founded the first racetrack to bet on and became rich. The new researchers were ordered to begin finding out how to cast metal into weird shapes. Meanwhile, London began to work on two horse archer regiments to invade Spain, mainly because she founded Buddhism and made everyone rub each other bellies. Meanwhile, York, happily ignorant of this plot, began to work on a London-style lighthouse.
In 640AD, the triumphant HMA Swordsmen regiments returned to Paris and were cheered by the humble masses.
In 680AD, York had finished its lighthouse and, now that it had become aware of the plot against Isabella, began working on two horse archer regiments.
In 700AD, researchers clothed in metal arrived in London to announce the finishing of Metal Casting. Despite the fact they wanted to start some modern art thing, (and were ignored) they were forced to write a Code of Laws that would officially forbid public art, among other things. Meanwhile, a horse archer at Paris was sent to scout Isabella’s defenses. They were formidable. Meanwhile, in London, yet another person claiming to be from heaven (at least this time he was sent by the Buddha) named St. Paul was born. He was sent to Paris to go to sleep. Also, Saladin returned and provoked even more Salad in jokes, thus causing the creation of the first known “joke book”. He traded by the idea of one king for the ability to cast metal. Once Matthias found out that Monarchy was just “I’m a king. You’ll obey me”, he got mad and threw Saladin out of his palace.
In 740AD, London finished its two HMA Horse Archer regiments, which had both been sent to Paris. London began to work on an archer regiment for defense, for the warriors were inventing polo by sitting on horses and whacking fatties, (amazingly) provoking anger among the populace.
In 760AD, the archers were finished and put an end to “fat polo”. London started on a Forge, which, somehow, would make London produce stuff faster.
In 800AD, the researchers arrived in London to prove they had finished a Code of Laws. (Excerpt: 6: No one shall be clothed in any way deemed unusual in a public place.) They were shown an odd toy Matthias was given with a lot of odd circley thingies. Matthias called them “Gears”. He had his researchers begin working on building huge buildings using these gears.
In 820 AD some hobo went to all the great civilizations. He then proclaimed that the English Empire was the 8th largest army in the world. Matthias, in an angry rage, had this spy brought to him. He was then hung by his toenails and paraded him around the city. He was later thrown in a dungeon for the rest of time. York also finished its two HMA Horse Archer regiments and was sent to Paris. York then started on a forge which would somehow improve production.
In 960AD, London finished its forge. Somehow, this improved production. Matthias had yet another idea “Let us begin on a massive tower to go to heaven and converse with Buddha. BEGIN!” It was to be called “Chichen Itza”, as it was supposed to be called Chick Za, but due to the fact Matthias sneezed and the name caught on, the Chichen Itza began construction.
In 980AD, Parisians had finished the barracks. Due to the fact that Buddhism was prominent in Paris and they had monks, Paris started on a Buddhist monastery to please the angry fat monks.
In 1000AD, after the predicted apocalypse didn’t happen, causing people to “recalculate” it to 1500 AD, York had finished its forge. York also started on a huge bronze man called the Colossus. Also, a Great Merchant named Pytheas was born in York. He attempted to research Civil Service, and had a heart attack just before he finished, amazed at the inefficiency of the government.
In 1010AD, researchers had arrived with a robot that moved with gears to prove they had researched Machinery. Even though it went on a psychotic rampage that almost killed Matthias, it was decided it was still a good idea. They decided to finish the efforts of Pytheas and started on Civil Service.
In 1020AD, the researchers returned to say they had figured put Civil Service. All they had to do was look at Pytheas’ papers. Matthias then said “What if we used Civil Service to other people. Hm… Let’s call it Vassalage. Researchers!” The researchers scurried off, confused at the whole idea of vassals and vassalage.
In 1050AD, the three HMA swordsmen regiments and an axeman regiment were all updated to macemen. After some brief resistance to Modernization, it happened and everyone got over it.
In 1110AD, York had finished building the huge bronze man which was called The Colossus, thus inspiring the adjective “colossus”. They began to work on 5 macemen for the invasion of Spain.
In 1130AD, researchers arrived again with the secrets of vassalage. They also reported that somehow it helped them make huge bows. Matthias decided to have them work on convincing small groups of merchants to unite and form guilds. Wondering what a guild is, and how fatties would unite, the researchers left.
In 1140AD, London had finished the Chichen Itza. Despite being saddened at the thought that they couldn’t reach Buddha, it did look pretty “cool”. They started on 4 macemen for the eventual war on Spain. Meanwhile, Parisian Buddhist monks held a celebration, as their monastery was finished. Paris, following the lead of York and London, started on a Library to hold the many books of the French.
In 1170AD, a Great Engineer named Archimedes was born (for some reason) in London. Though he had some good ideas such as a fountain, he was put to sleep until he was needed.
1200AD was a year of upheaval in the English Empire. Matthias made everyone his vassals through Vassalage and officially made himself a king, and established Hereditary Rule, just in case he was assassinated.
In 1270AD, Cyrus came to London. The English Empire was rather powerful, and Cyrus asked for Open Borders. Matthias agreed, mainly because Cyrus was stronger than him. York had finally finished its 5 HMA Macemen Regiments, which were all moved to Paris. York started on three longbowmen to protect the cities. The warrior still in London was updated to a Macemen for national defense.
In 1280AD, researchers arrived in London to prove they had discovered Guilds. Somehow, this allowed them to build an armored horseman called the knight. Matthias was still unhappy at the lack of power of the gods he had. Then he had a fourth idea “Hmm…. If my society is totally based on the gods, then they MUST give me power, right? Researchers!” They researchers scurried off with orders to make a society based on religion. Meanwhile, London had finished its four Macemen regiments. In York, Zhang Quian was born in York and went to sleep as there was no money to be made.
In 1300AD, the powerful English Empire declared war against Isabella. Celebrations broke out throughout the Empire. Units were mobilized all over the area to attack.
In 1330AD, a regiment of Longbowmen arrived in London. This was cause for celebrations as it prevented the archers from shooting fatties.
In 1340AD, the researchers returned to announce they had discovered Theology. After Matthias studied it, he waited, but felt no special power. While angrily walking down the street, he saw a scientist playing with an odd substance. As the scientist looked away, Matthias set it on fire (hehehe) and it exploded. He took the slightly charred scientist to his researchers and told them to find the secret of this magical chemical, which he called gunpowder, because the scientists name was Gun (don’t ask).
In 1350AD, the Spanish iron mines were pillaged by a roaming horse archer. This was a cause for celebration, for it prevented Isabella from building more units. Also, a longbowmen was assigned to Paris and arrived in 1350.
In 1360AD,York had started on the needed addition of five knights for the invasion, which was holding at a stalemate outside Madrid. London also started on three knights.
In 1370, a HMA Horse Archer regiment pillaged the horse pasture. This prevented the Spanish from building any more pesky horse archers.
In 1380, a new scientist was born in London. He was named Ernest Ruthford and quickly became known as a Great Scientist. He built an academy to teach others his knowledge.
In 1410AD, Qin Shi Huaung (weird name)asked for Open Borders. As he did not look threatening, and we was Pleased with Matthias, we agreed and he got his plan, while Matthias plotted to use his technological advantage.
In 1420AD, Paris had finished its lighthouse. It began a courthouse, which (apparently) was a place where a fat guy with a wig looked a fat criminals and made decisions based on the Code of Laws. In other news, three people were convicted in Paris today of making public art.

woohoo:



What’s with the banana?)
In 1470, London researchers discovered how to use gunpowder. They were ignored until they shot the public artists, thus leading to joy and fame. Matthias, after “accidently” shooting some advisors, advised that they figure out how to make writing easier. He called it “alphabet”, for no apparent reason.
In 1490, an archer was killed outside Paris. This was a tragedy, but it weakened the invader so that it couldn’t attack Paris.
1500AD was an odd year. After the predicted apocalypse didn’t happen (again) a Spanish horse archer attacked Paris. It was killed easily by the longbowmen in the city.

Also, researchers arrived singing (ABC, it’s as easy as 123, I’ll tell ya know now, do re mi, ABC etc.). After Matthias “removed” them to get better singing researchers, he told them to work on a large story, which he called literature.
In 1505AD, York finished its five HMA Knight regiments. The exhausted city was even angered at the sight of odd public art. Thus, York started on a courthouse to preserve the Code of Laws.
In 1510AD, the researchers returned saying “Yet do I fear nature; It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way” and after they were kicked out for saying words no one knew, and the new researchers arrived, he told them to put the odd words to a series of sounds, which he called Music.
In 1515AD, London finished its three knights, which all got on the boat to Madrid. London started building a series of walls to keep fatties in and to prevent people from invading it.
In 1525AD, York had finished its courthouse. Since they had now caught all the criminals, they decided to build an updated market called a “grocery”, were you could get food in larger quantities. Meanwhile, London had built its walls just in time, as a bunch of Londoners attempted to roll out the city. Though they were shot, they probably would’ve continued rolling, but they crashed into a wall and stopped. London was now totally sealed. Due to the fact London had sooo much extra food, they decided to build a huge pot, which they called a “granary” to hold grain (and some other stuff

).
1535 was a monumental year in the English Empire. After learning from officials (aka: spies

)that foreign diplomats believed that the English were barbaric, Matthias authorized Operation Trader. Diplomats went to China and Russia, both seeking technology. In China, the diplomats got Drama and Philosophy for Gunpowder with my new best friend, Qin Shi Huang. In Russia, they got Engineering and Compass for Guilds and 100 gold. Catherine was mad once she learned that guilds were just a bunch of merchants working together. (Hehehe….

) In London researchers had arrived, announcing (and playing) music. Matthias hit one of them with a “guitar” for using it poorly. Matthias then went to write down who it was so he could be arrested. But his stylus broke. Going to the market in London, he saw a thin piece of bark, and realized, that, when wet, it could make a great writing tool. He bought it and ran back to the palace, announcing that it was called Paper and that the researchers needed to find out how to write on it. The sad (and one dazed) researchers trudged away. (It wouldn’t be an update without me saying trudged

)In Madrid, the HMA armies launched one huge assault on the city defenses. Despite losing eight regiments in the ensuing battle, Madrid was taken, and the Spanish Empire was killed.
