Insurgent
ALmost all the threads in the forum detail the successes of great empires. This might lead one to beleive Civilization 3 is easy and filled with victory. it is neither. it took me 2 games to understand the game enough to play it decently and while i can now i would rather impart a tale of failure. This is my tale of Rome.
The Temple at Rome
Publicus was careful with his prayers, wording everything so the gods couldn't mistake him. he had sacrificed his prized lamb and imagined that jupiter was somewhat pleased with him. He worried however, hence his presence at the temple. He worried of his family, his health and all the assorted things the comman man of any age must worry about. most of all though he worried for Rome. A mere three cities could be found in this nation which was dwarfed by her neighbor Egypt. what's more these cities were divided. Rome and antium on the southeastern coast with Veii to the distant west having all but declared independence. He took a deep breath as he stepped out onto the road. he cast his gaze skyward at the great Collussus almost completed. His heart swelled with pride to know that only Roman Engineeers could Even dream of such wonders. Caeser had sacrificed growth for this gaining him the reputation of being obsessed with the Roman culture among his people. he passed the message board, a great block of marble upon which recent events were carved, the marble would later contribute to something greater but not untuil it was full. If it weren't for the crowd he would never have looked up. but when he did he saw inscribed in great letters
Alexandria founded on southern coast. Egypt Divides rome in two.
on his way home to his sons, Anthony and Titus he pondered what ceaser would do about this'
