The year is 1520 AD. Barbarian hordes rage against the northeastern-most cities of the empire. The solomn war generals are pushing their few Keshiks hard to hold the line. It wasn't always like this.

Once, Mongolian Keshiks were as the sea. In those far-gone days, foreign powers existed. They are no more, unable to withstand the Horde's once-mighty wrath.

The scribes failed to ascertain much from the ruins left behind of either civilizataion. The Horde was that complete in its rapid and destructive rampage. It is only known for sure that their were two, in addition to the Mongolians.

One lie in the eastern lands of the continent, and was dealt with first. This civilization had access to iron, and Kublai Khan flew into a jealous rage at the revelation. Such was their fate.

To the south was a much more prosperous people, at least for a time. The opposing king's arrogance at founding a city within a month's ride of the Mongolian border sealed their fate, so it is said.

The few Mongolians who dare to speak out will say without hesitation that, yes, Kublai Khan is mad. And yet, his absolute power persists.

He talked about two other civs and there are roads to the east. So I guess there were two other civs earlier.....
But which ones?? and why didn't you keep the cities??
 
Boomerangs... Mongols? :confused:
 
Boomerangs... Mongols? :confused:
I see what you did there.

However, shouldn't it be:
:confused: ?sgnaremoob...lognoM


Also, I think that he was intentionally vague about the other two Civs, although it might have been more interesting to know whom he has wiped out, if only to know which of the remaining Leaders are not out there (since they are already dead):

About all that we know is that the one to the east had access to Iron while the one to the south founded at least one City near to a Mongolian City. The rest, as they say, is history.


Good start so far! It will certainly be interesting to see how boomerangs will play a role in the story--will the Mongolian empire collapse in upon itself in a frenzied rage of horror and destruction? Will the fury that they unleashed be returned ten-fold by the next Civilization upon which they declare war? Or will the Mongolians simply settle on this world's version of Australia?
 
Subbed, very good start. also hasnt anyone see that the continent looks like a Boomerang.
 
I noticed... but I somehow didn't make the connection :lol:
