*** For everyone wondering why my photos look slightly different it's because I'm using the most current version of Flavorful BUG, which contains many improvements to the diversity of the Civilization. I am also using Blue Marble, another MOD which makes the terrain appear more realistic. This will continue throughout the game, and the appearance of things may change slightly as I will be updating before each game. ***
A powerful wind blew off the shore, causing the trees to sway, and then bend under its power. It signaled the beginning, for on this day the first city of a Powerful nation was born. The wind continued down the river. This river lost its force and as it continued it became slower and caused the vast plain on which it flowed to become flooded, and lush. On this place, the village was born, and they called it Kyoto.
A lone warrior crouching in the reeds, ready to protect his home, felt this wind, and knew it signaled great things. This was the Divine Wind which would protect his people, and guide them to glorious deeds! The warrior, named
Kazuki, slowly made his way through the flood pains, and entered the village that was his home. Today was an important day for the city, for they would be selecting a new Warrior from the ranks of the young men, and the Elders proclaimed they had a major announcement about the future of the village.
He entered the village, thinking if the city had walls one day; it’d be much more secure. Standing away from the rest of the population slightly, he leaned against a cherry blossom tree, and watched the last of a small play before the leader of their people approached the raised dais, and turned to the people. “Today, we embark on a great journey! No more will we all be required to search the forest for our food. One of our own has discovered a way to make the food grow where we wish! It shall take time to adapt to these new ways, and understand and learn them fully, but it shall be worth our toil in the end!”
As the crowd cheer, the Leader stepped from the dais, and with a small nod of his head motioned Kazuki to him. “Kazuki, you must explore the borders of our lands. There have been rumors of other places like this, but wanting to take what is rightfully ours. Defended our land, and ensure our children’s children shall have land of their own.” Kazuki nodded once, and without saying a word, turned and headed off towards the north…
(Turn 1)
Set Kyoto to warrior. Growth in 11, Agriculture in 10, and warrior in 8. Any Suggestions on what renaming convention we should use Ruff? I’m going to go with “Random Civ name” of “city”, unless someone wants to change it... so you may want to sync up your Renamers for this one.
