I don't know about educational. If you were to write on a test that Rome conquered Spain, and Japan I doubt you'll get a very good grade.

But, on the other hand, the principles of rifles.
 
I knew Spain was past Roman when I wrote it but I was too lazy to change it. I was basically talking about Isabella being the leader, they also never built the Pyramids. :)

I don't aim for the stories to be didactic, but like most writers (I suspect), I'd like to think that if you "learn" anything from the story, it's at a thematic level rather than being overly specific and therefore somewhat trivial. ;)
 
Give Milarqui a scene where he dies running while away from the fight. :lol:
Looking forward to the smell of gunpowder, the screams of dieing and wounded Mongol soldiers, and the pounding of Roman artillery.

Ha, ha, ha. Very funny, mate. Maybe next time Sisiutil could portray you as a carrot that foams and is dropped to the sea, don't you think so? :lol:

Nah, seriously, I'd rather be a victorious soldier/general, marching over those Mongols like a couple marches through the glass.

VICTORY TO ROME!!!
 
I clicked through the link to this in your sig the other day, Sis, and read through the first 11 chapters in one sitting. I polished it off tonight.

AND IT'S NOT FINISHED YET?! Oh, man! I'd assumed that as you'd started writing it last October, all the necessary blood would have been spilt by now. It's like renting a library book to find some vandal's ripped the final chapter out.

Of course, now the horrible realisation that this is still a work in progress has passed, and I can come to terms with the situation; I'm now able to enjoy the remainder of the story along with everyone else. There's no complaint here, just compliments :)

Just tell me you backup your hard drives regularly. If something calamitous were to happen... brrr. Doesn't bear thinking about.
 
I felt the exact same way when I got to the end of the previous chapter when i read this in about August this year. Been subscribed here ever since then for new updates :) Very high quality work here.
 
So does this mean we'll be getting the next chapter sometime in April? :(

Nah, this weekend. I've got the Rifles-era story plotted out and the first couple of chapters written now.

I actually had a picture of a carrot foaming at the mouth holding a gun as a spray for counter strike. Although it was my brother who made it since he's better with computer art type stuff.

Secondly Rome couldn't get redcoats e350tb, I guess Liz could but she's probably hugely technoloically backwards unless she's been giving Ceasar paticularly good sex. ;)
 
the weekend can't come soon enough!!

Came and went, as it turned out. :blush: Sorry for the delay. I got pwned by a non-Civ story idea that wouldn't let me go until I'd written it out.

I'll have the opening part of the next story up early this week. Promise.
