The tale of Sparta <Alexander's Fall

[conquer_dude]

It was 4000 BC. The dawn of civilization was spreading through world, and a group of nomads decided to settle down. Greek, they called themselves. It took them a while to find a name for thier city. After many arguments, a young man named Alexander chose the name of Athens. He also chose the name. Greece, to name their Empire.

A year later Alexander was chosen to become the Emporor of Greece, and at the same time, he met the Romans. It was war at first sight. Once he heard the Romans demanded Metal Working in tribute. Alexander declined at once and the Romans declared war.

A few years later Athens settled a group of militias, and they headed torwards Rome. There were about 1000 soldiers garrisoned in Rome and about 900 attacking.

The 900 Greek soldiers stormed into the city. Cries from Roman citizens rang throughout the attack. The Field Marshall leading the Greek attack was killed instantly from an archer to the head.

A man named Hallomin took the marshall's place, since he was a General. After another hour of fighting, he called the retreat. The Greek soldies were exhausted. They only had 50 soldiers remaining, while the Romans were weakened to about 150.

Hallomin and his soldiers returned to Athens. Alexander was enraged. He was dissapointed at the poor leadership of the marshall and of Hallomin. He instantly ordered Hallomin to be executed in the worst possible way. A month later, Hallomin was executed by laying on a table and being smashed by the biggest rock in all of Greece.

At the same time, Athens lost 12 of the soldiers that returned home alive because of their dangerous wounds.

UPDATE

A few years later Alexander noticed that the Romans were plotting something huge, because none of his envoys had said anything about them. So he sent an envoy begging for peace, but that envoy was refused and beheaded.

Alexander knew they were going to attack ever so soon. Alexander grouped up five men to choose their new general. After hours and day of showing their skills, Alexander chose a young man named Alind and ordered him to group an army.

Alexander's wise men discovered Bronze Working, so Alind's army became a massive army of legions.

A year passed and Alexander wondered if the attack was ever going to take place. By now, Athens had sprawled to 100,000 people, and now with an army of about 20,000 legions.

Another year passed and Alexander began to focus on growth issues. Athens was a sprawling city of 150,000 and more nomadic groups were finding this city and becoming citizens. Alexander became worried because the city was going to starve if he didn't act quick, so he gathered a group of settlers to irrigate around the city. Next he would order his citizens to build a granary to store food. Alexander had forgotten about the Romans and the attack was coming sooner than he thought.

A half year passed, when Alexander sent out an envoy to the Romans. A few weeks later the envoy came running back stricken in terror. He had seen a good 100,000 roman legions and phalanxes coming torward Athens. Alexander instantly ordered all the men citizens to grab any kind of weapon, even a wine jug to fend off the Roman attack.

Alexander was very foolish not to think of a counter-attack because he seriously could have put some damage in their system coming right down the road. He ordered to bring the group of settlers irrigating into the city and order construction on the granary to cease and let the women flee for cover.

One day later, the war horn rung round the Earth and the attack began. Bloodshed was everywhere. Some women citizens that were still not garrisoned for cover yet were killed. After rounds of heroic fighting for Greece both sides were leveled to about 20,000 men. Rome had reinforcements behind them. About 15,000 Roman soldiers came in with reinforcements. Alexander all male children 12 and older to fight. Cries rung from all over the city. The Romans did not retreat. They fought to the last man standing. The Greek legions had heroicly fought that day. With Athen's population knocked down to 60,000 people, mostly women remaining. Alind had survied the attack, but took a big blow to the back of the head with a sword. Alexander rewarded all of the remaining people who fought to the death. In the honor, A complete new city-graveyard laid where the soldiers died. Many love ones of the deaths moved to the graveyard and built their houses there. Soon, it became a city, named Sparta.

Alexander was somehow pleased.

UPDATES MAYBE TONIGHT FOR SURE TOMORROW

Player's note: The Romans did actually attack me one square outside of the city, so that's where I built it.

 

[conquer_dude]

Quick update: I made a huge one this morning but the internet crashed on me!!


Alexander was pleased with the soldiers that had fought, and he was pleased with Sparta. Sparta had become a great economic center. And Athens had finished its granary and Alind was working on an army of cavalry and chariots.

Alexander was starrin off at Sparta in the distance that he did not realize the Roman envoy step into his room. The envoy asked for peace, but Alexander refused in furry. He ordered his servants to stick a note he had written into a dagger and stab the daggar with the note into the envoy's back. So they did. Alexander also ordered one servant to go with him in case the envoy did not make it back alive because of the dagger. The note Alexander wrote was cruel to Ceasar, and Alexander was pleased.

A week later another envoy entered his room. He was in awe at the envoy, for he was not white, he was a black man. He treated him like a god. He offered him a little of all the resources he had.
"Lord Shaka of Zulu wish to see you" The envoy said.
Another black man covered in wonderful golden clothing entered the room.
"I greet you Alexander. I Lord Shaka of Zulu. You wish to see army, we show, but we give peace."

"I will accept your peace treaty if you do one thing. If you help is with the war with the Romans"

"We will for 100 gold"

"Agreed"

So Alexander sent off a servant to guide Shaka to the Romans.

Note: I'm not being racist or anything. Sorry if I offended anyone.

 

[trada]

Nice story.

Will Shaka help? Or will he just take the money and run? Fun stuff.

And you aren't being racist so dont' worry.

 

[conquer_dude]

About two years later Alexander was taking a trip to Sparta, when an envoy came running behind him losing all of his breath. He said that there is a traveler with important news waiting in his room and he wanted to seem him instantlly. Alexander turned around and walked quickly to his palace without word. He had heard gossips about these people, and he had no clue what was going on.

An hour later when Alexander reached his palace the traveler gave him his news.

"Lord Alexander, ruler of Greece I bring you great and horrible news."

"Yes?"

"Emporor, The great news I give first. We have information that two weeks ago Shaka of the Zulu, your ally, captured the city of Rome."

"Great news, my friend! Let us celebrate!"

"No my lord, you have forgotten the bad news."

"What is it?"

"Shaka's empire has grown to the largest empire of my recordings after this capture. Even though the Romans are left down to one city. Shaka has declared peace with Rome, and Rome tricked Shaka into going to war with you!"

"I don't believe your filthy lies! Leave now! I can't believe you!"

"It's true, Alexander. It's all too true."

Alexander was enraged! He foolishly formed a quick army from Athens with out training, and Alind was to lead. Hear ordered them to attack the city of Ulundi, a Zulu city.

So, before one month Alind had an army of 10,000 chariots and calvary, their best uniots to attack Ulundi.

More later.

 

[trada]

Nice work bro.

 

[conquer_dude]

Thanks for the comments trada, I will probably update tommorow.

 

[conquer_dude]

Well... A little late but here goes.

Alexander realized he had made a bad move, but the 10,000 units continued on torwards Ulundi. A few days later the troops reached Ulundi and the raid began. It was about 10:00 at night, and Alexander made them do this late for a reason. He new there weren't enought troops to attack at day, so the chariots and calvary silently entered the wall-less city of Ulundi, and burned more than 3/4 of Ulundi's buildings, then they left and headed home, taking only few casualties because of accidents with the torches, but that only happened to about five guys. So, all this happened in less than ten minutes, and Zulu people soon woke up at 10:15 PM to see their roof filled with smoke and possibly their feet or any spot of them on fire.

Alexander was pleased, but Shaka was not.

BTW cheesy banner isn't it?

Whipped it up in paint in less than two minutes.

 

[conquer_dude]

Two months after the raid on Ulundi a Zulu envoy came into Alexander's Room begging for peace. Alexander made a very foolish mistake to say "no" and behead the envoy. For little did he know that Shaka had an unberibly large army less than 50 miles to Athens.

At the time, the Greeks became quite interested in explooring and navigation. Many ships were built, and many explored. Few came back if they tried to pass over too deep of water. One tireme that was exploring, discovered this Zulu army right by the coast. The explorer in the ship sailed back as fast as he could to note Alexander.

Alexander became worried, ever so worried. He ordered a group of citizens to form a small community of 1000 and be ready to exit the city at all times, at all costs. They were to leave through the opposite side of the enemy. Alexander also ordered all of the soldiers there possible to fortify the best they could. He moved many units from Sparta into Athens. Alexander decided that he was to stay and fight for the attack, for he knew that he would die or be captured if he stayed and sat around at Athens.

The next day, a man on the tower of the gates to Athens spotted the army coming. People cried, women yelled. Alexander ordered all men and boys twelve or older that was not forming into the group of settlers, to grab any weapon to help fend off the attacks. Alexander ordered Alind to stay and fight. If it got to dangerous he told him to leave with a few citizens into the wilderness on the cliff. If Alexander died, Alind would become the new leader.

An hour later, the attack horn rang. This was the horn heard all around the world, as calvary, militias, legions, phalanxes, knights, chariots, men working catapults even yelled at the sight of the Zulu arrows from militias storm over the walls of Athens. 100 Greek soldiers fell that time. Alexander ordered all of the Greek archers to give a "good" response to that. Then, the gates to Athens broke loose from Zulu catapults. Greek soldiers jogged slowly outside of the gates in anticipation, waiting to loose their heads. Alexander and Alind were the last to get through the gates. Both armies stopped, each about half a mile away. Then, once Alexander reached the right flank of his army and Alind on the left, he saw Shaka facing Alexander, and Alind facing the Zulu head general. Shaka yelled, and units charged Alexander kept his army still.

"Let them waste all of their strength running, while we sit here and gearup for battle... FOR GREECE!" Alexander yelled.

"Yaaaaaaaaahhhh!" Came his army's reply.

The Zulu army consisted of about 500,000 and a little more, while the Greek army only had about 300,000.

Eventually, before the units hit, the settlers left off, with more than 1000 people, to found a new city to the east, the opposite side of the attack.

Now, the units hit, Alexander stood fighting off all of the enemy Zulu that approached. By the first five minutes, the Zulus were knocked down to about 400,000 and the Greeks 250,000. The Greeks were fighting heroiclly. When Alexander met with Shaka, he was determined. He stared Shaka in the eye and looked at him fiercly.

"Why you-!" Alexander shout as his sword met Shaka's. Shaka had one sword and a sheild, but Alexander had two swords. Alexander fought and fought with Shaka. He flung his swords above him blocked, and almost stabbed. He swush with one sword on the left and right of Shaka and knocked his sword and shield out of his hand.

"Stop, this is my fault, this was my battle." Shaka said as an archer aimed at Alexander.

Alexander had both of his swords in an x on Shaka's neck. Then before he knew it, three arrows jabbed Alexander's side, and three got his horse. He fell along with his horse, and died on contact.

Shaka came to win the battle and ordered his units to burn the city of Athens. And so it happened. Athens burned to the ground with the loss of many civilians, almost 1,000,000.

The group of settlers that set off were too late and were killed.

A few remaining citizens from Athens, (about 6 of them) ran up a cliff covered in thick forest, and looked down at the remaints of their hometown, and sounded the second horn, which was also heard round the world. After he blew the horn for a good ten seconds, he ran into the forest. This man that blew the horn was Alind.

Excellent compositions I must say. I would love to see an epic movie about this one day.

Shouldn't this be on offtopic so it could get more viewers??

 

[conquer_dude]

^Gotta point there. But the moderators would move it probably.

 

[conquer_dude]

Update. Woohoo!

Alexander has died. Alexander has died. Athens has fallen. Athens has fallen. We of Sparta will be next. We of Sparta will be next.

This was a common chant in Sparta since the loss of Athens. The Greeks had been nocked down to 250,000 people, all remaining in Sparta. But they lost no hope. They never would. Not even if the reached their total deminse. Especially Alind, who had ventured off into the forest with a tiny militia of three folks and a couple more citizens ready to found a camp. Alind had gone beyond his knowledge.

A month later he returned to Greece, he was in Sparta. A palace was ready and built for him. He ruled the scientific discoveries, everything. He ordered a new kind of government to be discovered. A moth later his scientific leaders came back with the secret of Monarchy.

Alind agreed with the rules of monarchy and thought that it was rather interesting. King and Queen he thought. But he had no queen. He was to find a wife pronto then order the government switch. He found a lovely lady, with the name of Zephrona to be his wife. He found a general named David, and he built an army of nights. Alind held a ceremony for the marriage, and Greece became a monarch.

The best thing that had happened since the victory on Ulundi back in the good old days, Zephrona bore a son, and therefore they named him
Alexander ll after the wonderful leader.

A ceremony was held, but, they soon found out this joy would end soon. Alind had made a big mistake. Too much fun and ceremony had left his mind of military.

Has this gone unnoticed?

 

[Specialist290]

Nope. We're all just rendered speechless while awaiting more.

Keep up the good work! Always love seeing a new Civ story.

 

[conquer_dude]

Well then...

Two years after the loss of Athens Alind was busy with his wife and son, king and queen of Greece. The one thing that they had not been focusing on was military. Do much alcohol sent them off track.

An envoy that Alind sent off to the Zulu lands to see if they wanted peace came back three weeks early, for a strange reason.

"Why, Donathon, your a fast envoy. You're three weeks early. In fact I just send you out yesterday. What news do you bring?"

"Horible news." Donathon said out of breath. "Horible news." He repeated. "The Zulus have a humungus army about 100,000 smaller than the army that attacked Athe--" Donathon was interrupted by Alind jumping up out of his room and outside. The Zulus grew near. Alind ran quickly up to an outpost. He looked out. Indeed Donathon was correct. A massive Zulu army about 100,000 thousand less than the attack on Athens. Alind grabbed the emergency horn and gave it a ten second blow.

Below everyone was running around, screaming, and crying in fear as their husbands and relatives pick up their weapons with fear.

"Alind has a speech!!!!!!!!!!!!" Donathon yelled as loud as possible. A couple of people heard and spread the word, and it eventually grew quiet.

"Thank you Donathon. Everyone, you must stay calm and quiet through this procedure!!!! We have a small city of 70,000 people!!!! We wil not fight the oncoming 400,000 Zulu forces!!!!" Alexander tried to yell so most could hear and spread the word. "Instead, we will gather important belongings and we will leave Sparta, and found a new city far west of here on the Mediterrainian Sea!!!! We will name it New Sparta, and it shall peosper and become the new capitol of Greece!!!! Let this horn that I blow know be known as the first horn, stating our departure and abondoning Athens!!!!"

Duuuuh Duuh Duuh Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh

The first horn sounded, and the people of Sparta departed on their long hopeless journy to the west of Greece. And sometime that night, the raid on Sparta will be a complete disappointment to Shaka.

Find out what happens next in the thrilling series, Chapter 9 of the TALE OF SPARTA. Preview:

After the Greek people depart, a few hours later that night the attack began. But it was no attack. Shaka sends units to go looking for them.

[conquer_dude]

Alas, th Greeks had left Sparta and were on a large, dangerous journey determining the fate of the Greeks. That night, late night, five hours after the Greeks left into the western forests and into the valleys and mountains, the Zulu arrived at Sparta expecting to fight to the death. They were horribly disappointed. The city was vacant, silent. The only noises were of rats and mice scurrying around in the midnight sun, leaving an eerie sound to Shaka of the Zulu.

"The god is here." Shaka said to his soldiers. "The moon god has eliminated the city of Sparta so we can keep our soldiers."

"And so maby he has," the Zulu general came up to Shaka on his horse. "But I do find it difficult to see that there is no blood, no destroyed buildings, no markets or stands still topled over, no bodies, all the fruits for sale are still good." The general said as he grabbed an apple from a stand.

"You are correct general, they have abandoned the city and left many goods here. They just abandoned it. They sensed our presence. They left it no more than one moon ago. Tommorow! We will set in search for them. Go north, men! At the break of dawn, the Greeks will fall!!" Shaka yelled proudly.

Little did they know that north was the wrong direction.

At the break of dawn, after the Zulus left Sparta, the Greek tribe moved farther into the mountains. They took caution of dangers such as barbarians in the valleys and fertile areas. And it was smart that they thought of this.

At 15:000 the Greeks encountered a large barbaric city in the valley of Cros****. Then, Alind realized, a good 40,000 men were coming straight for his tribe.

Alas, as the two tribes hit with the mark of blood, the fighting began. Alind ordered his wife and their children, and all women and children to get back and gather water in a nearby spring to bring to wounded Greek soldiers if needed. Alind bravely stabbed his sword into the heart of the Baarbarian leader, Cominscara. The battle began with soldiers yelling, civilians screaming at seeing relatives get wounded or killed, and seeing other civilians getting killed trying to help the wounded.

Over all, the battle lasted about an hour. The Greeks got slaughtered with a phyrric victory. The Greeks were knocked down to 6,000 people in all.

Alas, as the dead were buiried and the greeks ready to march on and take the barbarian city, the second horn blew.
Duh Duh Duh Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhh
