[RFC] Rome: Eternal Empire

Oh. I didn't realize it was supposed to be "The Power Of Love" because it didn't really seem to fit the meter... It was fun anyway, though. LOL. How did I not notice this story before? I usually lurk like crazy in this subforum!
 
Hello everyone! Welcome to a long-awaited installment of the most epic story on S&T, Rome: Eternal Empire! Anyway, here it is!

We begin looking at the ships near Madrid. They will now begin to go to Ponta Delgada and bombard it.
Portuguese Man: Bomb... Ard? OH NO! HOW DARE THEY BOMB MY WIFE!
Wow, the Portuguese have weird names.

Here's the situation in East Europe. It will be under Russian control... sound familiar?
Civ4ScreenShot0028.jpg

I have decided that most of my Mexican Central Epiclandian cities are worthless and a waste of money and stability.
Central Epiclandian Citizen: Hey! I'm not worthless!
Roman Soldier: Repeat that, please.
Central Epiclandian Citizen: Umm... I am worthless and 100% disposable.
Roman Soldier: Much better. I can't wait to leave this worthless place.
After a lot of searching, I found someone who I can dump my cities on... Washington!

American Central Epicland! Also note how much money I'm making.. I might actually be able to research Medicine by the end of this update.
Civ4ScreenShot0030.jpg

Dang, I'm still collapsing. Time to boost my economy.
Civ4ScreenShot0031.jpg

Fine Roman wines are very expensive.
Civ4ScreenShot0032.jpg

And fine Roman fish costs almost as much. Anyone want some $250 crap crappie?
Civ4ScreenShot0033.jpg

Fearing a collapse, I'm moving my military away from cities so I can hopefully quickly recapture my colonies.
Civ4ScreenShot0034.jpg

BUUUUUURN! I think that's the first time I've ever burned a city in this story. :eek:
Civ4ScreenShot0035.jpg

WOAH! I have overdrafted my cities...
The People: The power of drafting is an evil thing...
Me: ENOUGH SINGING! *points gun*
Civ4ScreenShot0036.jpg

I'll need to move troops out of France, too.
Civ4ScreenShot0038.jpg

Well, THAT was unexpected! Now that the Germans have been exiled to Scandinavia, I think I should try to end this war.
Civ4ScreenShot0000-2.jpg

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Presenting the Roman Province of Germany Scandinavia!
Civ4ScreenShot0001-1.jpg

The Incans declared war on me. Oh, well. I bet I'll be able to vassal them without trying.
Civ4ScreenShot0002-2.jpg

Because of my defensive pact, Spain is helping me. I'll let them take a few cities, then swoop in and vassal the Inca's.
Civ4ScreenShot0004-1.jpg

Time to recall all of my troops back to Rome.
Conscript 1: Yay! We get to go back to Rome!
Conscript 2: Yaaaay. We get to go back to the city that's so miserable that it takes forever for it to get anything done.
Commander: *points gun*
Conscript 2: Um, I mean we get to go back to the happy city of happy happiness! Yay!
Civ4ScreenShot0005-1.jpg

Wow, the Independents are really rising here...
Civ4ScreenShot0006-1.jpg

Wha... Did one of my biggest allies just collapse? :eek:
Civ4ScreenShot0008-1.jpg

As you can see, Iberia is now divided between Portugal and me. Now that I don't have Izzy to dump Portugal's cities on, I've decided to end the war. On the bright side, Barcelona is actually a good city now.
Civ4ScreenShot0009-2.jpg

Stupid cheap Joao! If my empire wasn't about to collapse, you would be dead now.
Civ4ScreenShot0013-2.jpg

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA? I defeated the Second French Revolution just before World War I started, and now just as the war ends? :mad:
Civ4ScreenShot0014-2.jpg

Here's France. Why didn't Paris revolt to the Dutch?
Civ4ScreenShot0016-1.jpg

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! I! AM! NOT! COLLAPSING!
Civ4ScreenShot0018.jpg

Well, here we go again! FAT, ATTACK!
Civ4ScreenShot0021-1.jpg

*sigh* How can barbarians exist in the um... enlightened 18th century?
Civ4ScreenShot0022-1.jpg

Then again, dog soldiers make for great target practice.
Civ4ScreenShot0023-1.jpg

Here's the world.
Civ4ScreenShot0024.jpg


Up next on Rome: Eternal Empire: The Third French Revolution, and (possibly) World War II! (Me, Germany, Babylon, Mali, and Russia VS Portugal, Inca, and France.)
 
Great update.
 
another French revolution?
so much for giving up all the time...
 
Where the next update is going to be??

Also dont take over france. Its not worthy to spend your army for 2 cities that always rebel. Instead make the french a vasal state.
 
Because of this story getting mentioned as an "excellent comedy story," there shall be update!
It's action-packed, involving useless vassals, Canadians, colonization, and avenging a death.
Plus, Stalin appears. I no longer have a girlfriend :mad:
 
Created a communist rome!!
 
Sorry about double posting, but this is awesome: Eternal Empire is now beating Destruction of History 2 in viewcount! :woohoo:
 
:eek: When on earth did this get so large?
 
I have no idea.

Also, we are beating An Iberian Love Story, and are 400 views away from beating Celestial Bureaucracy.
 
Great so far METY, can't wait for your next update!
 
Because of my recent honorable mentions and view counts, you get a new update.
Also, I have actually made an update when I said I will! When's the last time THAT happened?
Devoted Fans: YAAAAAY!
Lovesick Fangirls: You're so epic and good-looking, MoreEpicThanYou! *dreamy sigh*
Me: Thank you, ladies. :D
Without farther ado, here we go!

We begin by looking at the FAT people, and the fact that Napoleon won't talk to me. Does ANYONE realize their inferiorness?
Civ4ScreenShot0000.jpg

I FINALLY have Medicine! Not only can my cities actually build something other than units and Wonders, more observant fans have probably noticed that I've been researching it for the last few chapters.
Civ4ScreenShot0002.jpg

Longbowmen? Really?
Cavalryman 1: WOAH! What is that thing?
Cavalryman 2: It's like a myth!
French Commander: HOW DARE YOU INZULT MY ARMY! FIRE ZE ARROWS!
Cavalryman 1: Whatever. Let's just kill them. Maybe we can bring the weapon back for scientific analysis.
Cavalryman 2: And what's that "arr-row" thing?
Civ4ScreenShot0003.jpg

HORSE ARCHERS?
Cavalryman 1: Just when you think you've seen it all...
Civ4ScreenShot0004.jpg

Well, that was easy, as usual. This is the 4th time I've captured this city... :eek:
Civ4ScreenShot0006.jpg

Non-capitulating idiot. If only he could see the scoreboard...
Civ4ScreenShot0007.jpg

I have decided to start colonizing North Africa because some of the spots are good and they're in my stability zone.
Random Citizen: THE MADNESS IS STILL HERE! COLONS!! ;;;;;;;!
Civ4ScreenShot0009.jpg

Another day, another unfair deal... in my favor.
Civ4ScreenShot0010.jpg

I actually forgot about the Incas. They usually don't stay mad THAT long...
Civ4ScreenShot0011.jpg

Apparently. Napoleon has studied how to kill me.. from a book by Roman spies. He now thinks that to kill me, he must bow down to me and say the magic words, "I capitulate."
Civ4ScreenShot0012.jpg

Is it possible for a single Dog Soldier to bring a Cavalry's health THAT low? :eek:
Civ4ScreenShot0013.jpg

Cavalryman 1: Wow! More of these "Ar-cher" things! Do you know what the best thing about them is?
Cavalryman 2: What?
Cavalryman 1: They make great target practice! *fires*
Civ4ScreenShot0014.jpg

Now THAT's more like it! Maybe it's because of that book, though.
Civ4ScreenShot0015.jpg

Wha... did Portugal just DoW me? They must really want revenge for the Germans...
Civ4ScreenShot0016.jpg

This happened 1 turn later. FEAR MY EPICNESS
Civ4ScreenShot0018.jpg

France only has 3 tiles... Talk about useless.
Civ4ScreenShot0020.jpg

Don't we already HAVE open borders?
Civ4ScreenShot0021.jpg

I founded Carthage on the ruins of the old one. I should've had this city centuries ago.
Civ4ScreenShot0023.jpg

Ooh, a Congress! That means more cities for me... and more pics for you. Everyone wins!
Civ4ScreenShot0025.jpg

I really, really hate it when that happens. How?
Civ4ScreenShot0026.jpg

Did someone say FREE support! GIMMEGIMMEGIMMEGIMME
Civ4ScreenShot0027.jpg

Here's my slightly small North African Expeditionary Force... but it seems we might be late to get to the target.
Civ4ScreenShot0028.jpg

Coming (hopefully) soon, the Second Congressional Update! Yes, this is a Multi-Part Update!
Civ4ScreenShot0029.jpg
 
Great update!!
