Berlin: Worker - Axeman X 5 - Barracks - Axeman - Settler
Paris: Warrior - The Great Wall
Rome: Warrior
Madrid: Warrior
Tech's: Bronze Working - Animal Husbandry - Agriculture - Mysticism - Masonry - The Wheel
Frederick looked out on the plains of Eurasia, there was a smell in the air and a sound of animals. PIGS!! Inhaling deeply he then decreed "We shall settle here", it is a matter of vigorous debate whether it was truly the pigs that led to Frederick's decision to settle. One thing was for certain, the man who answered to the name DMOC probably had the most weight over the final position of what would be known as Berlin. Claiming the knowledge of mathematics (the Germans were far off of this strange language of numbers) he pointed to the hill, promising great conquests by settling on it. Frederick, hungry for power. Took his advice:
Once Berlin was up, a worker was started whilst the scout went to collect tributes from the other local settlements. Although Frederick had told the scout to collect a suitable tribute and then to move on. Smoke could be seen from the hills of Berlin, with the scout suspiciously sooty on his way back with the tribute. He was warned not to treat the other settlement so severely, but to no avail. Furious, Frederick sent the pyromaniac to scout out distant new lands, "hopefully" Frederick thought "he wouldn't be back". More pressing matters were at hand anyway, namely:
Ahh Louis soon to be the dead "handsomest and best-dressed ruler in the entire history of the universe", once the worker was completed he was sent to hit a rock with a pickaxe, whilst at the same time our scientists who were little more than men with pickaxe's themselves learnt the secrets of creating people with even bigger axe's.
Things continued like this for a while, the worker hit rocks until they became mines whilst axemen were trained in the art of hitting humans with them. (you kinda aim for their head and hope for the best.) Leaders from across Eurasia sent scouts Germany's way, Frederick assured them of peace, their emissary's went on their way. Ignorance is bliss.
Germany learnt the ways of Animal Husbandry, which if nothing else gave the worker which the people of Berlin had used so much resources training something else to do. The crops to the north were still untameable however so the scientific men started looking at ways to use it better. Whilst the small army of brutal axemen grew, Frederick looked at the resources his people were using.
He decided to keep this set up at least until the Pigs had been tamed. A few years later (75 to be precise), Lord Mcauley payed complements to the glorious wealth of the German Empire:
Whilst the axemen kept on coming:
Frederick leaned back in his copper palace, life was good. It was about to get even better:
Suffice to say Louis tiny force of warriors were no match for their axe wielding counterpart's. Paris fell quickly, and with it so too did Louis, but not without one last surprise.
Frederick had never really cared for the famed Stonehenge, it just seemed like another bunch of rocks to him. It seemed to keep the people reasonably happy during their annexation though, so although he would never personally visit the rocks himself. The culture cultivated by the great stones, was welcome.
Whilst the rebellions in France were being quelled by the power of the rocks, the axemen were making progress:
Soon enough the fierce axemen of Germania were outside the walls of Rome, a peculiar man was protecting the city ready to shoot the barbaric axemen with strange wooden sticks called arrows. At the same time Isabella was getting a bit too big for her boots:
The fighting was fierce, apparently when these "arrows" hit you. They hurt quite a bit:
So one of our axemen was sleeping with Rome's plentiful supply of fishes, but this was no time for rest and re cooperation. Isabella had done the unthinkable, she had planted a garbage settlement right where Frederick didn't want a Garbage city. So the cleanup team was sent in:
And the biggest gaffe in the history of Germania began, seeing the empty city with those famous rocks Isabella's warrior took the opportunity to take Paris. Obviously Germania's now infamous thugs were not far behind him, showing his true colours. The Spaniard discarded the honourable ways of the warrior and ran for the hills, its safe to say he was not of this world for much longer.
Whilst the weaker thugs went to Rest in Paris and to make sure the people there didn't have any "bright" ideas. The other bigger thugs went to sort out Isabella once and for all, sleeping with the fishes would of been a welcome fate for Isabella. Unfortunetly, the perfect coastal city was one off the coast. So instead she was sleeping.... well..... somewhere else.
With Madrid under the German banner a peace settled over the land, Frederick sat back in his copper palace observing his domain, and he thought it good...
So Europe has been tamed through a good axe rush, I've posted my unit builds for Berlin and the other cities once they were under my control plus what I researched and in what order in this round. My big question is what to do with the settler that will be ready next turn, if we make comparisons to Neal's game, France had enough time to construct a city near Denmark, should I settle there? Or should I Move and settle near Poland to block russia? Thank you for reading this far if you have, and if you haven't no thanks to you.
P.s. I realise how long this can take to write up Neal, big props to you for all the effort you have put into the King of the World series.
