Losers.

Priceless! Absolutely priceless!

For this turn, I will give special story bonuses to stories about religion. I want you guys to come up with interesting and unique religions.

Eh... But I want my religion to be like not unique, can I just write a story about it being not unique?

Amusing update indeed.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

So, why do the Elamites rule Babylon and vice-versa?

 

[jalapeno_dude]

Eh... But I want my religion to be like not unique, can I just write a story about it being not unique?

I suppose so.

@Iggy: There was a reason... hold on.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

You made a mistake on the map?

 

[jalapeno_dude]

Ah, I see what happened. I added the countries to the map, then did stats later. The description in the update is correct, but the map doesn't reflect that. Hold on for five minutes while I fix it.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

Everything should be fixed now. Really...

Probably about as long as I had to search to find ancient kingdoms on the Arabian Peninsula.

Since you're starting late, you can use another spending point on military.

Ah, so we finally meet. Yes, trade has been most profitable between us. By expanded more, what exactly do you have in mind?

@jalapenomeister, what happened to Syria? And...is it ok if I use that extra point in my next orders? I had a feeling I was forgetting something

Oh wait, you said you banked it, nevermind...

Appearances can be decieving. But if you want to discourage me more...

Brittania

OOC: Do you know how long I had to search for an ancient kingdom in Britan?

Given that the name is "Brittania", I can't imagine very long. *ducks* Seriously though, why not go with something like Cativelliauni...

 

[jalapeno_dude]

@NK: In 1800 BC, it's incredibly hard to find people in England. Even the celts hadn't shown up yet! There's something called the Wessex culture, which was rapidly displacing something called the Beaker culture, and that's about it....

@Azale:

1. Read the last sentence of the Egypt section.
2. Look at your stats.

 

[erez87]

Expansion map for this map and where the new ciyt of Cyrene should be. I'll PM orders later.

 

[jalapeno_dude]

I know that. I've done many NESes too...

But usually I pick the closest nation to the time in the NES.

Of course I'm not. Just that after a while and no word in the forum, minds begin to wander.......

Try a hour and a half ;]. All I saw that existed around this time period was, as JD said, the beaker culture. Since that isn't really anything, I left it alone. And since "Cativelliauni" doesn't exist for (sure) another 1950 years, I decided against it. To me "Brittania" refers to any group on the isle, not a specific civ.
