Good Story.

Right off the bat, I finish an archer in Yerushalayim, and start a granary.
While exploring the southern portion of Afrika (As the Carthaginians called it), they met a dark-skinned people named the Ethiopians, led by Zara Yaqob. Hannibal had heard about people like them, they were used as slaves in Rome, Greece, and many other Empires. They were small, young and proud. But Hannibal foresaw sour relations due to Zaras state religion of Judaism.
A granary is finished in Utica, and they start a cothon.
Hannibal was confused. The formal names for two important cities were Qart-Hadash and Yerushalayim. But in local accents, they were pronounced Carthago and Jerusalem. Thinking the original names were tongue-twisters, he renamed them to the local terms.
An archer is in Carthago, start Settler
Years after the start, Hannibal traveled to Parsa to try to negotiate peace. But, Xerxes son, Darius, was more irritated at Carthage than his father, thus not accepting to speak.
Feeling threatened, Darius moved one of his Immortals into Carthaginian Territory near Babili. Hannibal wanted to prove their name wrong, and sent an axeman to destroy it. (What I never understood is WHY IN THE GOOD EARTH WE LIVE ON DID SID MEIER MAKE THE IMMORTAL MOUNTED! I MEAN SERIOUSLY! I ALWAYS PLAYED AS PERSIA, THEN I GET CIV 4, AND IM LIKE, WHAT THE CRAP IS THIS? Point being, dont ruin immortals, make them foot spearmen, like in CiV) Anyway, the Immortal is killed, and we get a Great General, Eugene of Savoy! Yah! He is renamed Numid Barca, who somehow survived when his cavalry was destroyed, and traveled to Carthago. There, he took personal control of the Archers defending.
Due to this, we get peace with Persia. We also trade open borders with Rome.
The Next Turn, however, Greece fails at life, and Civ, falling into a civil war. And I get OB with Persia. And peace with India. (Why was I at war again?)
Nothing much happened after this, except lots of city production, such as Granary in Jerusalem, start Barracks; Barracks in Rusadir, start Granary; Walls in Athenai, start Stable; Barracks in Barca, start Granary. End of Update.

Story is as good as ever but why are you still doing screenshots the hard way?

I'm not. I hit printscreen, then go to screenshots afterwards. Then put them on Photobucket.

Why do you have masses of white space around each shot then?

you should update your RFC when you finish this story... then you'll get your melee immortals
Haha, yeah. That always pissed me off, Immortals, if mounted, were on chariots. Not riding on a horse wearing a burka.

I like the new ones. Especially since archers changed to defense, Persia counters them well.

Oh. I have the one shipped with BTS.

Nah, much too lazy. Besides, I find that I don't play much Civ anymore due to school.
