1725 AD
I'd just left Povertys' Pub and the long liquor filled debate on whether to keep the city of Opis or do a little ethnic cleansing. Our cannons were blasting off all the while destroying the defenses of Opis.....
In the meantime our "Yenarii Tempest" Frigate reached the Mayan coast. Most of the 3rd Armada had taken refuge in the city of Quirigu, some how the city sounded just right for the cowards.
While I was finishing up my orders for our Frigate scouts to keep the ships in our site, word came from the Harbormasters, our Privateer "Taoist Heathen" had been sunk by the English.
1730 AD
I arrived at the camp when we began our usual barrage of cannon fire. Somehow the Longbowmen defending the city were able to destroy an entire Cannon Division! Our men must have gotten a little too bold seeing as we hadn't lost a unit in Operation Steamroll thus far. It was quick work after that.
....As I was approaching the city still undecided on if I should raze her or not, I saw a lone man walking into the city. He was tall, long white beard and had a very tall walking stick. He looked full of purpose. I rode up along next to him and offered him a ride into the city. He accepted and told me he'd walked all the way from his hometown of Warfire, he was Tipu Sultan, he told me, A Great Prophet....
1735 AD
....Cyc and Furiey were pulling into the city as I arrived. Cyc was congratulating the men of his division for the great victory in Opis. I hadn't taken my eyes off of old Tipu for one minute and he was standing atop a supply wagon. We pulled him down, can't have him inciting the populace. He told me of plans God gave him to build a Shrine for the people of his faith. Furiey mentioned Shrines could bring in gold for the economy.
I wasn't totally sold but Cyc and Furiey agreed with him so I said the hell with it. Lincoln is gone, we can save the razing for our enemy Justinian.
The Aretan Riflemakers were pumping out arms at such a pace that an invention was spawned to revolutionize production....
The Generals were given permission to oversee production while the nation still remained at war. This spawned an idea amongst the Generals that if they controlled the production and also the people they could create a war machine. Thus began the conspiracy against Representation.
1740 AD
The 3rd Armada, a fleet of 3 Frigates and 4 Galleons, entered the deep waters and I ordered a full scale naval attack.
1745 AD
Edorai finishes our first Infantry Unit.
1750 - 1755 AD
The Generals conspiracy has reached its final phase, they have derived the idea of a police state. Ruling the people with an iron fist. This would increase production of military units and suppress anti-war sentiment.
Reports came in just before I officially removed my Supreme Commander pins. Our first Ironclad engagement off the Incan Coast was a success, now they are off for a Naval Blockade of the Mayan east coast.
I will leave all of the gameplay topics for the new PF that takes power. Post any special requests for screenies.
