Bow to your king.
Excellent story, cannot wait for another update!
780 A.D.
Military Advisor- Master, our spy in rome has come thru for us and acquired maps showing military unit locations. It did cost a pretty gold piece though.
King Gudea- If we know the locations of all those numerous legionaries, then it is worth every gold piece.
Military Advisor- Here are the forces Caesar was using against Shaka. There are well over a 100 military units in this picture.
Military Advisor- There are also a few units that have entered Hannibal's territory and are on their way here.
King Gudea calmly sat down on his throne, rolling this information over and over in his mind. He sat there for a long while saying nothing, with a smug smile on his face.
Military Advisor- You do not seem very concerned about this, my King. Need I remind you that our forces are weak when compared with Caesar's.
King Gudea- I am well aware of our situation, but it will take a long time for the bulk of those Roman forces to get here. Let them waste their time trudging half-way across the world.
790 A.D.
As Sumerian forces approach the traitor-filled city, a number of gladiators spill out of Berlin. The end of General Naram and his supporters is close at hand.
Ali Ibn Rabban- I have looked over all this knowledge on inventing and it is very intriguing. We may be able to construct an inventor's workshop, like the one that Cleopatra is having built.
King Gudea- Get with the domestic advisor and she will have one of our cities start on it.
King Gudea- Filling the treasury with more gold is always a good thing. And before I fund any research into a...what did you say? Gunpowder? You will need to explain to me exactly what it is. By the way, what's with the funky hat? (Gudea attempts to hide a chuckle)
Science Advisor- It helps me to think better. You should try it.
King Gudea- Nice try, but I think I'll wear my crown.
810 A.D.
King Gudea- Excellent! Take them straight to the colosseum and make sure there is a hungry lion waiting, for each man we have in custody.
830 A.D.
Science Advisor- We should study Astronomy next, to enable us to use the stars for navigation. With this new ability, the crusader fleet will be able to safely sail across the sea.
King Gudea- So, we will now be able to go anywhere?
Science Advisor- Our ships should still avoid the deep ocean and stick to any established sea lanes.
750 to 900 A.D.
Foreign Advisor- Sir, we have a few agents that have infiltrated other nations and there are also a couple that have been caught.
Foreign Advisor- We are now on very poor terms with Arabia and even worse with the Zulu. Shaka decided to declare war when he caught our spy. Not too long after that, another spy did make it thru the battle lines successfully. The Byzantines were willing to help out with Shaka, for a small bribe. Once this alliance ends, a spy will be sent their way also.
King Gudea- When we have spies in Byzantium and Arabia, then we will no longer have to worry about accidentally triggering a war. We will then be receiving secret information on every nation in the world!
Foreign Advisor- I have here a list of recent wars and alliances that you should be made aware of. You will notice that the smallest nation in the world, the Ottomans, is involved in all four.
King Gudea- With only 6 cities left, it looks like Osman might fall by the wayside. Oh well, that's just too bad!

Great update!So much image editing in this story!!!
830 A.D.
King Gudea- Can't wait to get there. The animal trainers are giving me the honor of releasing the lion's myself.
The roar of the crowd is deafening as they voice their approval of the executions. One by one the traitors are dragged to the ground by the hungry lion's. With having no weapons to defend themselves, the affair is over with quickly. Naram and his followers are no more.
834 A.D.
The Knights Templar continues to train it's special warrior-knights and sending them to a port on the coast. At Port Dabrum the fleet is being assembled that will carry the crusaders over to Babylon.
860 A.D.
Domestic Advisor- A massive cathedral has been completed in Egypt and it's beauty is without parallel in this world. It boasts a giant mural across the ceiling that took four years to complete.
King Gudea- She deserves something like that! Her own beauty is without parallel and...uhhh...oops was I talking out loud?
870 A.D.
Domestic Advisor- Sir, the enthusiasm and excitement of conquering our enemies has died down; the Sumerian population is back to being just content with their situation. This is also reflected in the fact that production & commerce have gone down across the empire.
King Gudea- That level of fervor and zeal could not last forever. But, those who experianced this special age of Sumeria, will remember it the rest of their lives.
871 A.D.
King Gudea- I want you to begin hiring all the mercenaries that are available and have them gather north of Bad-tibira.
Military Advisor- Mercenaries? Our forces are more than holding their own. Do we really nee-
King Gudea- Just do it! There will soon be a special task for them to perform.
Military Advisor- It will be done, my King.
873 A.D.
876 A.D.
King Gudea- It sounds like this substance has great potential. Unfortunately your funding is going to be temporarily cut off. So you and your colleagues can take your time and get it right. For the time being, most gold will be used to pay overtime to our citizens, so that city production in outlying areas will be finished quickly. Also, we will be hiring many mercenaries and they don't come cheap.
Science Advisor- We will bring you updates from time to time on our self-research.
890 A.D.
Military Advisor- Roman forces are beginning to show up in force, at our borders. We are holding them off, but their numbers are increasing rapidly. Are you going to use the mercenaries that are being hired?
King Gudea- No, hold the mercenaries back for the time being. We have drawn the Romans in close enough. It is finally time to contact Hannibal.
Military Advisor- Has that been your plan all along, to lure all the Romans into the midst of the Carthaginian cities? Then make an alliance with Hannibal?
King Gudea- Yes, it was. There will be chaos with the two armies in a mass melee, and soon we will toss the mercenaries into the mix. This should be very entertaining!
900 A.D.
Foreign Advisor- Great One, our offer of an alliance has been accepted by Hannibal. He did not demand as much as before, for some reason. Maybe he was distracted by all the Roman legions in his land.
King Gudea- Yes, Hannibal definately has his hands full. I would pay handsomely to have a front-row seat at this engagement!
940 A.D.
Military Advisor- Master, we have hired 57 mercenary groups. Shall we continue to do this?
King Gudea- Yes, hire every mercenary you can find.
950 A.D.
Military Advisor- Sir, our forces were moving in to attack the Hittite city of Kummani when Egypt beat us to it. A lone Hittite longbowman escaped from the city before it was captured. A knight was sent in to finish off this longbowman and witnessed this.
King Gudea- Cleopatra has a few armies of her own, eh? Keep an eye on them and inform me if they attempt to enter our lands.

Military Advisor's War Report
820 to 980 A.D.
Military Advisor- Sir, the war with the Hittite nation is going quite well! We have razed six of their cities, Egypt has captured one and their Great Wonders have been torn down. There are just two Hittite cities remaining on the mainland. When our forces arrived at Tyrana, several ships sailed out of the harbor and then out to sea. We believe that Mursilis was onboard one of those ships. He has moved his capital to Aleppo, out on the Hittite Isle, cause his flag is now raised over the city.
Military Advisor- The battle of Tyrana was a bit costly, but there was a bright spot. We lost 6 swordsman units and a knight unit taking the hilltop city. A sword unit that did survive performed quite miraculously by taking out a fortified veteran pikeman!
King Gudea- Glad to see some of our older, obselete units still making an impact on the battlefield. How is our situation with Rome?
Military Advisor- The Romans began to arrive around 857 A.D. in small numbers.
870 A.D.
Military Advisor- Their numbers began to gradually grow.
890 A.D.
Military Advisor- It was at this point that you bribed Hannibal to join the fight.
910 A.D.
Military Advisor- Our spy in Rome managed to procure some more military plans. It looks like Hannibal does have his hands full and has lost one of his cities.
960 A.D.
Military Advisor- Even with Carthage assailing them from all sides, some Romans are still getting thru.
King Gudea- Begin to outfit the mercenaries with the barbarian clothing that I had made for them. Also, give them access to a couple of ships that have no Sumerian flags or markings on them. We will send them out to sea and then they will come back in from the north, by the Carthage city of Cirta. It will be as if they are arriving from their frozen northern lands.
Military Advisor- That is a good plan, my King. The preparation will begin immediately.
1000 A.D.
Military Advisor- The Roman legionaries have been greatly diminished. Their numbers peaked at around 170 units and are now below 100 units.
King Gudea- There are probably many losses due to this war, but Caesar is most likely now training medieval infantry to take the legionaries place.

Did you mod that into the story?

Yes. Originally had planned to have a whole civil war where the entire nation was split in two. But, it got to the point where too much else was going on and several other nations were pretty powerful, so I settled for what you have seen in the story.
