Irrational Incans

[Demi_Neophyte]

Irrational Inca-Reign of the Pachacuti Family
It was the dawn of a new world.
The nomadic peoples of the young Earth had learned the secrets of farming, and with this knowledge their nomadic lifestyle was slowly ending.
It was in this "Agricultural Revolution" that the Incan Empire would be built.
​

"We are truly blessed to be here to see this glorious day wherein we, the mighty Inca, have created a permanent settlement for ourselves and our children to live in."​

The Incan's young leader, Pachacuti, was truly overjoyed to see what he thought would cement his family, and his people, as the greatest tribe of former nomads this planet would ever see. The Incans knew that they were not the only nomads who had planned to make use of their new discovery they did, however, believe that they were the first and most important of these nomads.

"To spread the word of our great achievement I have ordered a group of our people to create an "Alphabet", and then a code of writing rules so that all the tribes of the world may learn the glory of the Inca!"​

It is said the cheers of the Incans could be heard across the continent and, according to some accounts, the world.
The Incans mourning several years later could also be heard from far away as their Original Leader, Sapa Pachacuti, died of a mysterious illness.

One hundred and fifty years after Cuzco was built, a group of Incans mapping the surrounding terrian found a group of nomads who, after learning of the great town of Cuzco, made a flag for the Incans and waved it above their camp, Tiwanaku, declaring loyalty to the Inca. When word of this development reached Cuzco the Incan tribal leader Cuz Pachacuti, Sapa's great-great grandson, declared this the start of an Incan "nation" and waved a replica of their flag over Cuzco; fifty years later, the citizens of Cuzco would build a palace for their leader, and a larger replica of the flag was hung in it.

​

In the year 3650 the Incan "scouts", as they were now called, found a line of light green flags northwest of Tiwanaku; they instantly realized these were a "border" similar the ones around Cuzco and Tiwanaku. In another 50 years the Incan scouts meet a group of people who called themselves the "Greeks". The two quickly mastered the basics of each others languages and arranged an exchange: the Incans thaught the Greeks about the art of Masonry for knowledge of Bronze Working and 10 gold pieces.

​

"Who says I can't kill some of these treacherous Incans?"​

Pachacuti The Bloodthristy, a distant descendant of Sapa Pachacuti, was perhaps the most feared of the Incan's earlier leaders, and was best known for the many mass executions he performed during the rebellion of Cuzco.
He would live the longest of the Incan's early leaders, dieing at the amazing age of seventy, more than twice the Incan average lifespan at the time. It was around this time that the decline in the Pachacuti family's mental health became most obvious to the general populace, and would lead to the "minor adjustments" in their government later.

Fifty years after the rebellion had been quelled the people of Cuzco, perhaps wishing to avoid similar incidents, extended their borders; as they did this they found a peaceful tribe of Saxons, who taught them a Warrior Code.
Far away from Cuzco, the Incan scouts found another tribe of Saxons who gave the scouts maps of the area, these maps mentioned a dark red border to the north and the west of Athens. It was also at this time that the town of Tiwanaku created a team of "Chasqui Scouts."

In another fifty years the scouts made contact with the Roman Empire, they agreed to teach the scouts their alphabet for knowledge of pottery. Fifty years later a group of people left Cuzco planning to form another city whose borders would connect Cuzco and Tiwanaku. The Chasqui scouts proved their worth by locating yet another Saxon tribe which taught the pratice of Ceremonial Burial.

​

It was in the year 3000 that the group of "settlers" found a suitable location to build the town of Machu Picchu, in this same year the Chasqui found a warrior who pledged loyalty to the Incan Empire.

In 2950, the Incan Empire was named the seventh happiest nation in the world:

​

The Chasqui also made contact with Babylon in 2950, although they had nothing new to give the Incans.

Critique is welcome since I'd like to know how well I've been going so far.

Cuzco's not going to be very productive, but on the bright side it will grow well for the early expansion phase. Other than that I think I doing well so far.

Irrational Incans
The Incans had surely become a nation, for as each day passed their glourious people had slowly spread out across their land and they began to realize that the other tribes would surely follow their example by spreading out as well; in spreading out they would eventually meet and then where would they expand to?
The Incans begin to fear the possiblity that their neighbors would begin to see themselves in a different light, a light that made them appear more powerful and worthy to live than the Incans. Surely if their borders were to meet they would attack the Incans, they would enslave the Incans, and surely they would force the Incans to fight other tribes for them.
This fear would lead the Incans to spread faster.

"If we are spread far and wide, our 'neighbors' would have to admit our superiority!" The Incans leading family, the Pachacuti, would foster their believe that other tribes were hostile, and in doing this, they would lead the Incans down a bloody road to prove their greatness.​

In the year 2850 BC, the Incan city of Tiwanaku created another Chasqui scout; they would build the last Chasqui in 2270 BC. These Chasqui scouts are worth mentioning as they find two things that would start the Incan's fear of other tribes. In 2710 BC, this Chasqui scout would find a second Greek city-state, Sparta.

In 2630 BC, the Inca would make contact with a tribe called the Hittites. Like Rome and Greece, the Hittites would give knowledge to the Inca, Mysticism and 10 gold would become the Incan's if they would teach the scout Masonry and Warrior Code; the Inca, believeing the Hittites would never be seen again, like the many other tribes their scouts had found, accepted.

Then, 80 years later, the Inca met the Indians who gladly gave the Inca a slave and some gold for the Incan warrior code. Another 80 years later, the Inca would recieve the concept of Wheels, from a small tribe.

By the year 2430 the Incans would realize the need to build a military as they witnessed a group of strange white-clothed people, attacking the Indian capital, being savagely beaten by an Indian warrior. The seeds of fear had sprouted.

Another period of mourning would come for the Inca as people in Cuzco died strangely, the scientists called it a "disease," the Incans mourning would be short-lived, however, for in the year 2270, forty years since the floodplains were found to cause disease, the Inca had developed a form of writing. Not long after they had learned to write, the Inca began research of their past, which cause them to question the purpose of being alive. At this time another group of Incans would go out to from a town, although this time they were from Machu Picchu. Forty years after they set out, another group left Cuzco with the same goals.

Finally in the year 2150 BC, the Incan's fear would blossom, just as tradgey and grand acheivements were discovered. First the Incans would know tradgey as their scouting team (the normal one) was attacked by a group of the white-clothed strangers who had been hiding in the Indian forest he had tried to pass. By the time the Inca learned this they had been celebrating the founding of a fourth Incan city, Ollantaytambo, and the collection of twentyfive gold pieces from a small Ananazi tribe. Finally, just forty years before the founding of Corihuayrachina, the Inca met a powerful group of people called the Celts just south of Cuzco.

The Inca would soon begin to fear the other tribes as they now knew they were surrounded on all sides by them. It probably didn't help that the Pachacuti family had resorted to incest to keep the bloodline pure.

Okay looking at the minimap, I'd say its a pangea.
So it's: Pangea/Normal/Temperate/Regent

I'd like to get some kind of comments about how I could improve. Like if I'm doing anything wrong with production or if my narritive could use improvement.

There will, hopefully, be another update before Sunday, but since I haven't been playing that far ahead, it could be next Monday or so.

hmm pretty good story for now

"We were caught off guard as the mountain seemed to explode. The heavens themselves rained fire, and smoke choked many a powerful warrior. All in all, we were lucky to have survived."
In the year 2070 BC, a team of Incan warriors would witness a volcano eruption; as this occurred seemly after they met the Celts, they took it has an omen that the Celtic people, and possibly any people who had settled beyond their territory, would bring death and destruction to the mighty Inca.​

It was in the same year that the Inca met a tribe of nomads that rode on the backs of horses. The Inca were amazed by this feat of bravery and excited as the tribesmen taught them this secret.

Fortune would smile upon the Inca as they made contact with the English, a group of people who had discovered a way to forge weapons out of Iron. The Inca were pleased that the English would give up this knowledge, they would have just kept it to themselves.

In 1870 BC the Inca finally started work on their military and foriegn relations. First, Ollantaytambo and Tiwanaku built the first Incan curragh and a spearman group. Second, a Chasqui scout would meet a settling team from a land called Scandinavia, and the Incan people sent out teams of diplomats to create "embassies" in the capital cities of Greece, Rome, Scandinavia, Babylon, and the Celtic Territory. Forty years later, the Inca would be given the first piece of literature by an Illinois tribe.

In 1750 BC, a handful of Incans, called "philosophers" by the other Incans, started to write books about the purpose of life. From these books, the current despot of the Inca, Pachacuti the Orderly, formed a code of laws. Many of these laws were considered sinister by the populace, who responded by begining research of a government where the Pachacuti family would not have absolute power, a "Republic," at the head of this research was the Pachacuti family's former science advisor, Sinchi Roca.

Only twenty five years after they had started this research, the Inca were taught about Mathematics and Polytheism from two groups of nomads.

This turn of events inspired the Inca to sell some of their technologies for gold to support another embassy. In 1700, the Inca sold Ceremonial Burial to the Vikings for ten gold and the Greeks for a slave. They sold Mysticism to Babylon, and the Celtic Territory for ten gold each. Then the Inca sold Horseback Riding to the Hittites for twenty five gold. Using the funds they had recieved the Inca built an embassy in India.
Twenty five years later the Inca were taught about map making, then in 1625, Machu Picchu and Cuzco each built settling teams. At the same time the Inca made contact with Portugal, and sold them horseback riding for ten gold.

In 1600 BC the Celts started work on a great building called the Pyramids, obviously to frighten the Inca. In response over the next fifty years the Inca founded the towns of Huamanga and Vilcas, then built an embassy in Hittite. In 1450 BC, the Greeks would start work on the Oracle. It was also at this time that Sinchi Roca made a map of the world which divided the Incan empire into four quarters.

Spoiler :

He then labeled it Tahuantinsuyu, or Land of the Four Quarters.

Alright, I've been getting really lucky with the goody huts; they put me far ahead of the other civilizations. I wasn't keeping track of how many turns I played here, if you counted you would see it's twenty-one turns. Other than that I'm not sure there's much to say here, I think I'm going to slow down on the peaceful expansion about now and start building up a halfway decent military, so far my military consists of a couple spearmen, Chasqui scouts, and a some warriors I got from the goody huts.

 

[Demi_Neophyte]

Not much happened in the next twenty turns; so I went for twenty five turns. The only thing worth mentioning would be my discovery of a new continent and two more enemies. (only made contact with one as you'll see)

In the fifteenth century B.C. an Incan curragh reached the Indian border; the Inca had begun the search for new lands, a place they would be safe from their neighbors, and in order to continue their journey they knew they would need the assistance of India, whose borders had expanded much more than the Inca had ever expected, thus the frightened generation made a deal which would be the first of its kind in world history.

This peace loving generation of Inca, and their close descendants would make liberal use of these "Rights of Passage" deals in the following 575 years of Incan history signing the deals with the Greeks in 1350, the Hittites in 1250, and the Romans in 1150.

In the year 1000 B.C. the Incan despots fell from power, this fall from grace was begun as far back as in 1350 when the town of Machu Picchu attempted to kill Mont Pachacuti. The Incan military made its power known to the world as they slaughtered the roiting masses, allowing Pachacuti to escape back to the capital city.
Twenty five years later, the Hittites, and the Indians would start the construction of an all-knowing Oracle to help them avoid such rebellions. On the other side of the world the Vikings had begun building a grand bronze statue, modeled after their new spearmen, to scare their people into obedience. The loyal Incans in Cuzco laughed to themselves at how weak the Scandinavian government must be to need such a thing for its people to remain loyal. Their laughs intensified when it was learned that the Portuguese completed it only twenty five years later.

1200 BC saw the founding of Vilcamba, one hundred years later Vitcos would be founded. Then in 1075 BC the Pachacuti Vid made it illegal for the Incan lower classes to leave the borders, which meant the Inca could no longer expand, this was the last straw which caused the populace to riot like never before. Throughout the next seventy five years, Incan soldiers were beaten by the unstoppable mobs of Incan citizens, government officals vanished only to be found dead in the forests and plains by the cities, and eventually the Incan military tired of being sent to their deaths against the massive mobs. The soldiers joined the citizen's revolt and finally the Sapa Pachacuti was left with no choice, but to surrender his power.

It was after the formation of the Incan Republic that contact was made with a strange backwards tribe called Persia. The Inca saw the Persian the same way as they had seen the Hittites so long ago, and thus they gladly gave up their knowledge of mysticism for a mere ten gold.
The last important event of this 600 years, and the first great act of the Incan Republic, was the founding of the Incan English embassy in 975 BC, the same year they met the Persians.

[Demi_Neophyte]

In the year 775 BC, the end of an era was fast approaching.
The Incans were coming to realize they could not retreat from their neighbors, and as such they began to build up their military.
At this time they only hoped to protect themselves, but with each passing day the populace was slowly beginning to understand how far they had fallen from their glory days under the Sapa Pachacuti.
They were discontent, they wanted to relive their glory days, and most importantly they were beginning to resent their fearful way of existence.
Slowly the proud Inca had begun to move toward violence and resentment against their neighbors.​

775 BC saw the advent of a new object in Incan society, a strange little object which was like a lump of gold. The Incan people began to use this "coin" to purchase services and items, abandoning their barter system.
The Inca noticed that none of their neighbors made such objects for their own citizens, as such this was considered a great acheivement of the Inca which would never be matched by another.

In 670 BC, contact was made with the Ottoman Empire.
The Inca were delighted to find the Ottomans were backwards and had no gold.
Twenty years later the Inca learned that the Portuguese found an extremely talented priest in one of their temples, and thus had proclaimed this priest "The Oracle" and built him an extravagent temple.

The Inca were truly amazed by this revelation, and they resented the Portuguese for having such a remarkable person in their land.
Nevertheless, the Incan Senate sent a list of questions to the Oracle, and in 590 BC the Inca recieved the Oracle's statement:

"If the great and mighty Incan Senate were to build an embassy in King Henry's hometown of Lisbon, and sign a right of passage with him, I feel it would bring many a blessing on the Incan land."​

Thus in 590 BC the Incan-Portuguese embassy was constructed, and a right of passage was signed. The Inca could see no benefit in this, and began to resent the Portuguese even more, vowing never to consult the "Oracle" again.

Despite the fact that the Inca had been tricked by a Portuguese zealot, the Inca learned the science of construction in the year 570 BC. Sometime after it was discovered, the Inca had transformed their entire architecture and founded the town of Andahuaylas.

Forty years later the Inca formed embassies with the Ottomans and Persians.
They also signed a right of passage with the Ottomans to explore their territory.

In 490 BC, war was on the horizon.
An Incan curragh returning from Persia sank; although the Incan Senate insisted that it was because the sailors had ventured into the dangerous sea, the Incan populace believed it had to be India's fault. The Inca wanted to punish the Indians, but to do so they would have to go through Greece and Rome.

The Incan people were pushing their leaders to war, and they even had plans for the army:

Although they may not have been the best laid plans...
