Not sure exactly but I'm certain Zara's attitude will get himself killed! I'll go fish through the thread to find the changes:
matthewthegreat: Placed fallout around Aksum; free settled great scientist in Gondar
Fetch: Made Willem declare on mad; give willem a large stack of doom on mad's borders, gave mad some longbows for defense
Diamondeye: Removed 1 pop from five of mad's cities, transformed into five great artists -- on Willem's land mass! Also make all Napoleon's cities renowned
Joshua368: Mad's entire continent transformed into tundra and ice; gifted mad Sid's Sushi
BakingTheArt: Created a second holy obelisk barb city, this time on an extremely fertile island offshore between Ethiopia and Portugal and guarded with infantry
asder2: Pulled back ice, put the sea into mad's lands, and "unleashed a part of his hordes against thee"
apenpaap: Made some Oromo warriors turn traitor(?)

Zra Laugh's at the gods futility to stave off the ethiopian people, and sees his avenue to victory! Very soon, the Gods shalt be overthrown and Zara shalt be seen amongst the world as the truely mighty leader (yet human) there is...
Got teh save. Starting the game!

And Zara makes ONE final visit to the gods.
"You have thrown many obstacles in the Ethiopian path, but you SHALL NOT win over us. The path to victory HAS BEEN OPENED, and the entire world is about to see your impotentancy and complete failure. Tremble oh mighty gods, and beware the final blow from Mighty Zara, even though it might take some time!"

Oh, what?! I wanted to do a Divine Intervention in the next round... for the finale... it was going to be a great twist for Mad too!

Too Bad. Zara has had enough of the meddling gods!
Update coming up, for better or worse!

Paranoia!: Destruction of the Gods!
Zara awakens once again to find a dismal land. Ice, Tundra, A massive Barbarian army and navy at his southern door, an Irate Dutch Father, and some strange man selling raw fish. Zara can handle most, but the Fish saleman has driven him over the edge. He makes his plans to rid these malicious and evil gods from the world once and for all!
However, Zara has ALOT on his hands at the moment!
A major stack of Dutch soldiers at his doorstep (the SoD was OK but the 8 damned trebs were a killer, literally!). An overwhelming Barbarian fleet, and a very large force threatening us.
What is Zara to do!!!
First of all, we utilize that bonus wonder we got.
Then we start drafting and whipping some rifles. We also dropped the science slider to 0% for that gold to upgrade what forces we have.
We also were gifted 5 Great Artists which are overseas. we coraled the mighty singers as far from Willem as possible for eventual pickup! Justinian and Joao we very entertained while they politely listened to them and kept them safe. I do not know if the gods realized this but we have yet to get a Great Person, those artists were the first! We also were patiently awaiting the GE from Christo. Does this perhaps show one way we are going (plus a very stronge Sid's).
But what about everyone's favorite subject, WAR!!!
First the Barb navy was pretty lame, and Willem did a number on them. Apparently he hates pirates more than ethiopians despite the -43 diplo penalty (My gods, that was excessive).
Next the Barbs from the Guezz city. we slaughtered them, apparently CG and drill promoted rifles are too much for knights/swords/crossbows! Zara on the other hand was an issue
I was certainly curing out the gods after that, and it generated some extra posts from me!!!
Durign this time Joao put a big smackdown on Napolean causing him to capitulate and thus ending the French war. Immediately after
And peace was approved which helped us alot considering Will wanted a city for peace! The irony is just great, using the AP to the get the pope to determine the gods shoudl stop screwing with ethiopia!!!!
At this point I got serious about winning before the gods did anymore damage. I proceeded with a 2 prong attack, teching electricity/radio/mass media while waiting for the GE to pop out which I planned to use to rush the UN. The otehr attack plan was an aggressive late game cultural game utilizing Great Artists, and I got ALOT on my own in addition to the 5 freebies!.
So we got peace
Changed civics
I stayed with theocracy only for diplo points with Justinian.
And took care of dealing with anymore potential Willem attacks
I road this until near the very end when I realized some of my allies had "Enough on their hands" and decided to get out of Dodge!
Meanwhile I was determined to get some cities back
Ghuzz will STAY Ethiopian for eternity now!
And after dropping a few culture bombs and preparing for the UN
I must thank the gods for having the Dutch declare war on us thus getting some additional diplo penalty points against our friends!
Now we very nearly stole a fast victory.
Except the French we not members I really did not want to bother gifting a caravel with a missionary to him.
We still managed to make a few trades, getting communism from Ramesses
And stupidly I swapped to State Property forgeting about Sids. I turn later I swapped back to Free MArket.
By the way, Sid's was only spread to 2 other cities, the ones I was focusing on GPs and culture.
Finally
We saved him at one of the cutlure cities, awaiting his time to construct the UN.
We made some other fillin trades which I will not bother with. Sufficient to say we got to infantry and railroad for defense!
And while we popped alot of GAs, we did get a GM which we used to start a Golden Age!
Once we got Mass Media we used the GE
Unfortunately we had to wait another 20-25 turns to finish it and it was a race as Willem also had Mass Media (he also got all the modern wonders).
At this point I added my own "Divine Zara Intervention" which I swore I would. Justinian declared war on Joaoa causing us to declare on Justian because of DPs. I realized I neglected that aspect once I got the UN under construction so I reloaded the last autosave just before and dropped all the DPs!
And at the same time
And just what do the gods think of that!
We then popped a second GE which we used for creative constructions and more culture just in case the UN idea fell apart.
And after sweating out the race with Willem
Finally, UN built and slider goes to maximum culture!
To Be Continued.........................

PAranoia!: Destruction of the Gods
And the results of the first chairman vote
Now the million dollar question, will that hold up for a diplo win vote...
I have already had to refure getting involved in the war already!
OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the world get's to gether to listen to Zara
As Zara talks to the leaders of teh World (yes even the French and Dutch listen now) he tells them
The gods are the bane of man's existance
Man is merely the plaything of them
Man does NOT need them
Man MUSt turn their backs on them
And the world turned their backs on them, casting down their statues
They scorn the Goddess of the early Barbarian invaders\
They scorn the God of the Arts
They Scorn the God of the rains
They scorn the God of Gossip
They Scorn the God of the Sea
They scorn the God of War
They Scorn the god of the Earth
They Scorn ALL of the gods!
Zara tells the people that Men shall be ruled by men only, in charge of their own destiny! The people of earth look towards their leader who is not a god!
THE END!

RECAP!!
First of a big thanks to all the gods who participated and helped make this a great RPC! I believe this may have been one of the more popular based on the number of views and whether it was more popular than Joao or Sury only time will tell (I will send out another poll when I finish the series). I hope all my god frineds enjoyed hte tounge and cheek back and forth as I think this fit in very nicely with the RPC flavor!
As far as my usual wrpaup on "Why We Won" and "The RPC Rules" Perhaps I will let teh gods answer those questions! I will say one thing though, the gods really did help out with one major change that really won teh game for us
The Christo Redentor!
THAt saved us from Willem by allowing us to revolt to the needed civics and produced the GE points for the UN.
Thanks to all who followed this RPC!
I have not decided on the nest one as I am unsure if I want a simple low key game or a rip roaring war-fest.
EDIT: Just remembered I was going to replay the Russina Spy again, so that's the next RPC!
