Adrian Nastase out!
400 to 440 A.D.
Domestic Advisor- Supreme One, the town of Incense Rapids has been founded in former Hittite territory. We are now supplying the Sumerian populace with 3 local luxuries. The military advisor informs me that fortifications are being built around the incense, to protect from Hittite attack.
King Gudea- Procuring the incense was one of our goals in this war. The next goal to meet is burning the Hittite capital to the ground!
Gilgamesh, freshly changed from his spying clothes, enters the throne room and bids Gudea to come out onto the palace balcony. Looking down from there, the two witness several of the newest swordsman units, marching off towards Hittite territory.
Gilgamesh- No other city in your empire trains swordsman as quickly as Ur does. The barracks here is very efficient.
King Gudea- I toured the barracks recently and was very impressed. I am very happy with our military, all except for this General Naram. If he doesn't fall in line, he himself will be fighting in the arena.
As the newly-trained swordsman units marched into the distance, King Gudea and Gilgamesh reenter the throne room and are greeted by the science advisor.
Science Advisor- My King, the wisemen of Egypt have entered a new level of enlightenment, due to their Great Library. They are studying things that are way beyond us. We could get one step closer to them by trading for the knowledge of Currency.
(Egypt enters the medieval age)
King Gudea- Good, get with the foreign advisor and tell him to complete the deal.
Foreign Advisor- We have acquired Currency, Great One. The marketplaces the domestic advisor has been begging for, can now be built. I have some even better news- Hannibal is finally willing to talk and has agreed to peace.
King Gudea- Now we can concentrate on the Hittites and start to pound on them!
450 A.D.
Domestic Advisor- Arabia has erected a spectacular garden sanctuary, containing all manner of trees, vines and flowering plants. The massive garden dominates the center of Medina.
Military Advisor- Sir, a skirmish outside of Kuara Grassland has produced yet another great military leader.
King Gudea- With all the sword armies we now have, if we don't smash Mursilis into the dust, then we are a sorry bunch!
470 A.D.
With all the defenders of Kuara Grassland now healed, they begin to march towards the nearest Hittite towns. Any wandering Hittite forces are bypassed in favor of attacking settlements.
490 A.D.
Foreign Advisor- The Carthaginian forces that were in our territory had been heading back east, but have now turned to the south. The have redirected themselves towards another threat- the Ottomans.
510 A.D.
Science Advisor- We have gained knowledge of Monarchy and you may now truly by King! Before we can move forward with further research, we must also know the secrets of the Republic government. You've said this government type will not be utilized, but it does lead to more advanced knowledge. What shall we do?
King Gudea- I do not like being behind Cleopatra in knowledge, so you had better get to work and garner this useless knowledge.
Science Advisor- This will be a long and expensive process, unless you are willing to consider an alternative.
King Gudea- Speak up. This had better be good!
Science Advisor- One of our sage's had a fantastic dream, after smoking something he found on a hillside near here. He dreamed of this great leader on another world and he ruled an empire, much like your own. This leader, who was named Tupacius, had a crafty way of gaining advanced knowledge. He utilized a vast network of diplomats and spies, that would secretly procure scientific knowledge from neighboring empires.
King Gudea- This sounds interesting! What do I need to do?
Foreign Advisor- Sir, I have taken the liberty of contacting your diplomats in Babylon. They say all the Babylonian officials are constantly distracted by their war with the Hittites. They may be able to slip in and obtain the knowledge of The Republic. All they need is around 800 gold to bribe a guard to look the other way.
King Gudea- I'm convinced. Do it!
Foreign Advisor- We have succeeded! I bet this secret operation was a lot cheaper than having to research that knowledge.
King Gudea- I'm glad it worked. I wouldn't want to cause an incident and trigger a war, at least not yet.
Science Advisor- I think we should direct our studies towards the knowledge of Feudalism. It just may lead to a way of quickly erecting a support-free barracks, in any city we conquer or build.
King Gudea- Wow! That sounds great. Well, what are you waiting for, get to it.

There are so many units, I am usually afraid if a few AI units get into my territory.

Well, that's probably because you use lighter defenses. But on this mod, Takeo needs them.stocktracker said:

Oh yeah, the swordsmen are Man-At-Arms from AoE2. Just figured it out.

That is a palace art file I found in vanilla civ. There is an palace for each of the cultures. In
![[civ3]](/images/smilies/civ3.gif "Civ3 Icon [civ3]")
, in the city screen, you could click on an eyeball in the upper right-hand corner to get a birds eye view of the city. I think that is what the art is intended for. In looking at that picture again, I noticed a goof I made. The swordsman were downsized a bit to look more realistic with the palace, but then I forgot to downsize the chariots and enkidu. The enkidu look about 8-feet tall, compared to the swordsman.

The swordsmen look like the Man-At-Arms from Age of Empires 2, or Age of Conquerors.
But it looks cool.

Actually, men at arms look more imperial and in the civ they look a little more barbaric.
