Warlord
This is the first time I've posted a story I made from one of my wars in Civ 3. I went for a more history book type thing, and not the novel like stories I've been seeing here lately. Please dont laugh if it sucks. 
The Carthaginian and Korean War
1830 1904 (74 year long war)
The Koreans in the 18 hundreds were a clean, peaceful, and industrious people. They had a small military and relied on China for overall protection. The Koreans as a Monarch state had much corruption in the southern part of their vast but rural country. In 1805, the Korean Monarchy was overthrown and replaced with a weak Democratic state which was so fragile, when the Carthaginians and the Chinese signed an Embargo pact against the Koreans; their economy fell into a dark abyss. The people overthrew the government a second time in 1830 and Korea reverted back into a feudal state.
The Carthaginians seeing the weak Korean government was trifled by anarchy and famine; they moved troops into the south of Korea and started seizing roadways to slow down trade and Imperial troops when attempting to calm a civil disorder.
The Korean government demanded Carthaginian withdrawal immediately or war would be declared. The Carthaginians refusing to leave caused Korea to attack. On 1845, the Korean Feudal Military seized the poorly defended Carthaginian colony, Carthago Novo, on the boarder of China. That same year, they drove the Carthaginian military out of the southern country and invaded two north Carthaginian cities, Nora, and Cadiz.
In 1850, with still no extreme response from the Carthaginian military, the Koreans seized a neighboring Carthaginian colony to previously captured Carthago Novo, known as Sulcis. In Sulcis, the Koreans were surprised to find 3,000 captured Chinese laborers who were later given back to China. China, just finding out about this, immediately declared war against the Carthaginians along with their ally, the Byzantines. The Byzantines did little to help with the actual war effort until the later years of the war except seize remaining colonies on the Chinese-Korean boarder. That same year, the Carthaginians launched a massive Infantry campaign against the south-western boarder of Korea comprising of almost 30,000 soldiers!
The Koreans launched a somewhat smaller counter-campaign of 18,000 soldiers to fight the rampaging Carthaginian hordes. Doubled by quantity of troops but far more superior, the Koreans fought and drove the 30,000 army to the west. An estimated 8,000 enemy troops were killed but the Korean army lost 2,000 of their own. The 22,000 Carthaginians broke apart into three smaller groups. Group A, the largest group, estimated at 15,000 people, traveled into the Central Korean wetlands in hopes of taking nearby city, Taegwon. Group B, the Middle sized group of about 5,000 people fled back into South Carthage. Group C, the smallest group of about 2,000, fled to the South east.
In 1855, the tables turned when the Koreans lost a dramatic defeat. The Group B and C met back up with one another and moved north, they recaptured poorly defended Cadiz and heavily fortified themselves there. Group A was ambushed in the southern Korean wetlands. The 15,000 troops were pushed westward and an estimated 7,000 enemies were killed. The Koreans would have considered this a victory knowing the fact that they didnt even lose 2,000 troops except for the fact that the west was poorly guarded. On 1860, the remaining 8,000 of the former 30,000 troop war effort traveled south of the Korean city, Taejon, and recaptured Nora. After Nora, 4,000 of the 8,000 troops moved north and captured Korean city Sokcho.
In 1865, the Korean army retook Sokcho, 1,000 of the remaining troops in Sokcho fled south into Nora. Five years later, Chinese troops had crossed the Korean country and had invaded Nora killing the remaining 5,000 of Carthages super 30,000 troop regime. The Korean military then started heading south into the heart of the Carthage peninsula.
In 1875, the Chinese and the English cooperatively invaded Cadiz. The English gained the city and Chinese troops continued to move south. Five years later, the Korean military seized Hardrumentum and continued to move south to Oea. On 1900, the Koreans seized Oea and the Chinese cooperative forces captured both Sabratha, and Rusicade. In 1902, realizing all hope of winning the war was lost, Carthage surrendered to Korea.
