I was going to put this up as an edit, but thanks to ilduce's bringing of a new page (and in the spirit of a certain milestone), I'll just make it it's own post.
And awaaaay we goooooo.....
So what were we doing?
Oh right, making an army.
In a few turns, my very first Tanks rolled off the assembly line. I decided to christen them (despite being Jewish) with the names of characters from HBO shows.
If you're wondering why I'm getting 600 gold per turn it's because I got the Mali to trade me for crabs. Mansa must REALLY like Dungeness.... And if you're wondering why half my city garrisons are still made up of archers, it's the reason I asked for all the gold.
I eventually built another Tank, which was put under the command of Lieutenant Sal. They would be supported with a mobile artillery. Considering this fearsome force all but unstoppable, the Egyptian high command sent them south to an island containing a pair of Spanish cities (If you weren't aware, I was at war with the Zulu and Spanish).
Now, if you know a thing or two about Deity-level ai's, you might say, "Are you crazy? Sending 4 units to attack?! Thats suicide!!1!
"
Well boo hoo for you.
Lukily, Isabella was actually to only person on the map I actually matched the capabilities of. This, combined with a little generosity from the Random Number God (who was appenrently trying to make up for the first game
), meant that I was actually able to take my first city.
This conquest was enough to actually propel me up a notch in the rankings system.
As I celebrated my first victory over the Deity ai, I was contacted by the Celts. They had decided to demand military technology from me.
I responded how any good-natured gentleman would do, and declared war on her.
Now, some of you might be saying "Why the heck did you just declare war on ANOTHER Deity!?" To this I say, "BLAH BLAH BLAH STRATEGY STUFF BUH BLA BLUH BUH."
C'mon guys. I have 3 whole Tanks on my side. What could POSSIBLY GO WRONG???1??"
For those who forgot, this would be my third war. Mansa Musa and Red_Spy2 (with all her clones) were busy fighting Shaka and Isabella. Radiation levels from the dozens of nukes the Mali had fired off didn't seem to be any hindrance to Mansa's advancing soldiers.
With half and island taken, a (mostly) modernized military, and an ego the size of East Texas, the Pharaoh set his sights of the remnants of Isabella's island empire. Can Copaczin take the fight to Isabella even farther??? Will there be any repercussions from declaring war on the Celts???? Am I going to use the question mark gag again????? The answers are, in order, Yes, Yes, and I promise this is the last time. So there.
And awaaaay we goooooo.....

There is a slight problem you had with your story:
According to you, your fighting 3 wars, this is true. However you said your fighting Shaka, Isabella and Boudicca, when your actually fighting SALADIN, Isabella and Boudicca...

I think the screenshot is from a different date than my commentary. whoops
Shaka eventually backed out, and Saladin joined in, just to clear that up.

The Sudetenland is, I believe, an area in the Czech Republic with a large German population. It was part of Germany but taken from them after WWI.
