Dangit, beat me to it. Watching for a save to edit. 
Jury-6
Chieftain
For millenia, Jury, god of all that is righteous and true, stood by, watching the upstart mortal civilizations forge their existences on the world given to them, lightly pressing his influence upon matters of decree and due process. He, in his august wisdom, preferred passivity and a steady hand over self-imposing methods of godliness. But affairs had gotten out of hand. The Persians were fast falling out of favor with Jury, and action had to be taken to restore balance.
Jury was largely approving of the scholarly path the Persians chose to take, often favoring the advancement of the fine sciences over indulging in new methods of bloodshed. Unfortunately, this pursuit of reason had been overshadowed by the hand of King Darius, who, not satisfied with the power of his own kingdom, looked to the Zulu in envy of their superior knowledge of metals and weapons-forging and stole them in a large, expensive effort to make them his own. This thievery of pioneer knowledge could not go unpunished, especially since it seemed the King's greed had not yet been sated, as his spies had been redeployed to Zululand.
There they camped in the rugged hills of Nongoma. They scavenged to feed themselves, looting the land of the Zulu just as they had done and would continue to do--would, if not for justice. The land churned ever so slightly and sent a torrent of rocks down the hillside, breaking the thieves' legs, so as they could no longer scurry about, and crippling their hands, so as they could no longer clutch their spoils. Helpless and robbed of their own functionality, the men were found by Zulu traders who, with no knowledge of their grave crimes, gracefully took them in to care for them.
But the deed had been done, and Darius would be looking to capitalize on his illegitimately acquired secrets. With new smelting techniques being adopted throughout Persia, iron was set to be the new gold of the kingdom, and the beginning of a massive mining expedition was already underway to tap into a rich series of veins identified near the western coast of the kingdom. Darius, however, would not see his plans come to fruition, and the payment for his crimes would be immense disappointment, for with each striking of the pick, the iron peeled away, now brittle as shale.
But the most disgusting offense perpetrated by the King was his treatment of those who lived for nothing but to see his vision made reality. Jury had long before seen that the implementation of slavery was more or less an inevitability given the ambitions and natural philosophies of the mortals. He largely tolerated it in strict moderation and restraint. But King Darius' recent exploitations had far crossed the bounds of tolerance; tens of thousands had perished in grueling labor, worked until their deaths under abhorrent conditions. What for? So that the King could raise an army and bring conquest to the southern isles.
Jury would see that Darius lose just as many slaves once again. An ambitious royal road project, the largest the kingdom had ever undertaken, had been in progress for years to adjoin Persepolis with her distant newfound colony, Parse. Thousands of slaves were always involved in the operation, often accounting for nearly half the entire Kingdom's workforce. As of late, the project was fast-approaching the eastern sands, where legions of wild horses still roamed freely at the forest edge. All progress halted the morning a veritable sea of horses descended from the east upon the slave camps. In the ensuing chaos, some attempted to mount horses and escape, a prospect that proved surprisingly attainable as more and more horses fled into the horizon with riders, offering no protest. The King's soldiers were helpless to stop the mass exodus, and within an hour, the road had no one to continue it.
Satisfied with his actions, Jury still wondered if Darius had the insight to learn from his mistakes, or if he would simply go to greater lengths to recover his kingdom's losses.

The Fall of the Eleventh
The Chaos warriors shivered in the cold night air. They were watching for the tall riders with spears, all cloaked in blue. They had stood there for a long time now. The warriors were waiting. When the *Immortal* had gone out of sight they would move. Slowly, through stealth they moved, closer and closer to the Persian lands.
This was a special trip. The swords that Chaos had given them had been left outside, and a freak storm of acid rain had come their way. The wapons had dissolved by morning. No, this time, they would use bows.
Chaos himself knew what would happen, but he wasn't letting on yet. The storm had filled two valleys near the borders of Persia with water. In about a century the water would be poisonous, and no nearby cities would be safe. And now there was a way between the landmasses...

So in 50 turns I need to...
Raise an offensive army of immortals to capture the Chaos people, the oppressed barbarians, and the city of War (1 Longbow v. 4 immortals!) while meanwhile retraining a workforce and creating a half-decent defensive network.
...Okay, this is doable.
Update tonight at 6 EST

Talquash Looked down upon the Mortal realm once more. He saw that an oracle had finally been created in his honour, and he smiled. He looked to two of his followers, and spake thus: 'Go Ye unto the City of Persepolis, and dwell in my temple there. Ye shall bring my words unto the People, and teach them of my ways. And one of ye shall speak of their lives, and what they shall do with their lives, and the other of ye shall speak of the world. Ye shall bring the wisdom of the stars to them, as I tell it to you, and ye shall be Known as my Humblest of Servants. And Ye shall in this way be exalted above all others.'
The two beings went down from the realm of stars, into the plane of Mortals, and arrived in the Oracle of Persepolis. And one went out to reassure the people, and told them much of their lives, and Improved them. The other Remained in the Central Chamber, and she communicated long woith her God.
And when she first left the Chamber people were amazed, for she knew exactly where all around her was, despite the Cloth she had laid across her eyes. And her God sent her to the Miners in the North, and gave her words for them. She spake unto them for a time and left. And behold, when the miners Returned the next day, they were laden with Silver, for She had told them Precisely where this Star-Cousin lay. And the People of Persia Rejoiced at their newfound Wealth.
---------------------------------------------------
One Day the Oracle came to the palace of Darius, which was strange, for she had not gone before to the Leaders of Persia. And Darius met with her, and asked what bought her to the Palace. Her awnser was simple. 'The Stars have bought me here.' And with this most Unsatisfactory awnser, Darius asked Why she had come to the Palace. 'My God has spoken to me. You have built the Temple He Desired, and now he asks that you help me in my work. I must go to Parse.' And with these words said, she left.

At least someone is on my side!
I just took a peak at the save, and realized that the Bridge was blockading the City of Silence and two Zulu cities!
I also saw that my iron near the capital was gone.
Update in ~2 hours.

I'm sorry everyone, but I've had a sh*tty day today and I don't have the time nor patience for a full length, detailed update, so I'm just gonna say what I did and post the save.
-Completed road from Persepolis to Parse
-Moved Oracle to Parse
-3 Immortals outside of War killed (I did not attack, they did, and they were defended by longbowmen and a nameless horse archer, no War)
-Killed Bowmen
-Declared war on Shaka, razed one small city and captured a border city with iron
-War going pretty poorly
-Demon 3 faded into the fog of war
I did this turnset poorly, and probably should have waited tomorrow so I could cool off from today, but I guess there's no turning back now.

It's only going to be for tonight, but I don't have much time tonight. It's only one time.
When I'm not so stressed out and feeling so crappy I'll make a proper update, but for now this is all I got.

Again, I'm sorry about the jackas*ish post.... I was walking to school today (2 1/2 miles) in subzero weather, I have frostbite on the tips of two toes and a bad cold. It's not a great explanation but it's been a sh*tty day.
@Mosher Sorry for your bad day, happens to everyone, it can't be changed.
Update:
Darius was over looking battle plans when Red Spy entered the room. In a cheery voice he said, "You did it, now land access to the twin islands, remember to take mine, even though i cant tell you which one. Also you got mail."
Just then a messegener ran into the room with a paper.
The letter said, We have met the enemy and they are ours. Early today, a strange man said he was sent by some, Red Spy, and to lead the forces. Our commander was injured so we accepted. He said he was Red Soldier, and led us to a Zulu camp. We defeated them quickly, with little causlities, with the man killing Zulus with a sharpened shovel. We are outside one of there cities and ready to attack.
