700 A.D.
The Carthaginians and Romans, which are both located directly east of Sumeria, have declared war. Caesar and Hannibal had each sent a delegation demanding that they be supplied with ivory for free. King Gudea has denied their 'request', which has caused the hostilities.
King Gudea- Move all of our knights and several swordsman armies over to confront Carthage. Attacking the Hittites again will have to be delayed.
Military Advisor- The military moves will taken care of immediately. After the Roman declaration of war, an elite legionary unit had approached Erech Forest and was threatening some workers there. One of our elite swordsman groups confronted it and was defeated. We soon found out why the lone unit was so proficient in battle. It was being led by the Great Leader Claudius. A newly-trained knight was sent out, finished off the legionary unit and executed Claudius.
Foreign Advisor- Sir, we have heard from several more spies.
Foreign Advisor- Unfortunately, the spy we sent to Persia has been caught and Xerxes is obviously very displeased.
King Gudea- As if we didn't have enough going on.
Military Advisor- This is nothing to worry about, my King. The Persians are weak and should be held off easily. On the other hand, our spy in Carthage says our armies are of only average strength when compared to Hannibal's.
King Gudea- Maybe Carthage will be willing to talk peace, once we raze a few of their cities. Then, maybe we can turn them against Rome. Hannibal has been our 'shield' in the past and surely he can be bribed to do it again.
710 A.D.
Science Advisor- I suggest we learn a way of passing on our knowledge to future generations, by developing an education system. Hopefully Cleopatra will then trade her ability to take newly discovered concepts and inventing ways to put them to use, for this new education system.
King Gudea- Yes, I have heard of a Leonardo character that Cleopatra is working with. She is erecting some kind of workshop for him, in which he can build and design his odd devices. Seems interesting; I will have your funding increased.
Before King Gudea had finished speaking, the military advisor hurried into the throne room with a big smile on his face. As the science advisor left the room, the news that King Gudea had waited so long for was revealed.
King Gudea- Naram must be hiding somewhere in the west. Find him!
720 A.D.
Military Advisor- The Military Academy has finished training it's first army.
King Gudea- Good! Have it outfitted with some veteran knights and send it towards Carthage.
730 A.D.
Foreign Advisor- Great One, we have received a message from General Naram. They no longer wish to be known as Sumerians and are calling themselves Germans. He and his followers have founded a town, just northwest of Babylon.
King Gudea- I want those traitors killed, as soon as possible!
Military Advisor- Several knight units are moving in that direction, even as we speak.
740 A.D.
Science Advisor- Sir, I have great news! My good friend and colleague, Ali Ibn Rabban, has made a major breakthrough and has developed the new Education system all on his own. Now that the common man can be educated, the populace is treating Ali as a hero. The citizens of Ur have begun construction on a university and are dedicating it to Ali. A university is where a person can go to learn and study a wide array of subjects, and become more educated.
King Gudea- When time permits, bring him before me. I would very much like to speak with him.
Foreign Advisor- I have attempted to trade our knowledge of Education for Cleopatra's knowledge of Invention, but she would have nothing to do with it.
King Gudea- Oh well. We will have to research it on our own.
Military Advisor- Master, our forces have moved into Carthaginian territory and will soon attack Leptis Minor, lol and Riza.
King Gudea- I will have the domestic advisor look at our current maps and decide on some new town locations. Destroy those settlements you mentioned and then hold the area.
Military Advisor- Your wish is my command.
