Bearus I, a mythical leader, some say descended from beasts, took over the growing empire of Rome.
1320 Bear surveys his territory and immediately stamps his authority be telling Elizabeth to remove her puny archers from our borders.
1325 A caravel is prepared to sail for Egyptian heartlands.
1330 Our troops advance on Buto, the only isolated Egyptian city left.
1335 Our caravel finally sets off on the long journey to Egypt caryying 3 legionaires.
1340 Buto falls without the loss of any troops, giving us more supplies of both iron and ivory (need connecting)
. On the downside, Bear is outraged to learn of empire wide rebellion over a lack of entertainment in the old Greek parts of the empire. He grudgingly gives in, but vows to clamp down on the trecherous swines eventually.
1345 Our caravel inches onwards, with more under construction at home. Magnetism, enabling more advances sea-faring, is started to be researched.
1350 Our caravel runs into stray Barbarian galleys.
1355 Caravel emerges without a scratch, now a veteran. Knights build up ready to be moved to the front line.
1360 England makes gains into Egypt, taking the prosperous Alexandria (had no less than 4 incense in its borders!
). However, a world map and navigation are obtained off Germany for world map, banking and 35 gold.
1365 England signs peae treaty with Egypt. Bearus I dies in mysterious circumstances while frolicing with his various concubines
.
Well, that's it. I only played about 10 turns, and it was more about preperation rather than actual conflict. Our caravel is nearly at Egyptian territory, and two more are awaiting to be loaded with knights to join it. Bach's Cathedral was completed by Germany
, so its been switched to Magellan's Voyage.
