World On Fire (K-Mod)

Erm...the pictures on the second update are all showing you founding Thessalonica...

Hhmm, not entirely sure what caused that. Oh well. Story up soonish, playing now.

EDIT: Update probably tomorrow.
 
Simba: Well, looks like another day at the grind, what's on my agenda for the day?
Portugawa: Well, it appears that you have just advanced an era by learning your ABC's so I'd say some trades are in order.
Simba: Alright, say, do you know anybody who we could trade with?
Portugawa: Well, the cow-queen could have something maybe.
Simba: Like what? Seriously, she's a cow, they don't have technologies. In that way they are like Canadians!

Radio: I'd just like to clarify the views expressed in this story aren't mine and I have no control over the actions of the main story characters

Portugawa: Did you hear that?
Simba: Yeah, sounded like some guy who spends his weekends pretending he's doing a radio broadcast, what a loser!
Portugawa: Anyways, here comes the cow queen now! Hurry, make the trade!
Victoria: MOOO! Moooooooooomooo. Moo.
Simba: How did you learn Archery? Cow's can't use a bow and arrow! They also have no use for writing as far as I know.
Victoria: Moo. MOOOMOMOOOOOMOOOOOO!
Simba: Ok, ok, fine. I'll make the trade.

Asoka: Listen, buddy, I want your pigs NOW!
Simba: Whoa! Easy fella, I'm sure we can make a deal.

The negotiations ensue

Asoka: So to summarize, I will give you nothing so long as you don't give me the pigs?
Simba: That's right! Pure profit for everyone involved!
Asoka: Where does the profit come in?
Simba: Well, erm... You see, you can sell the nothingness byproduct to other countries in exchange for their nothingness, which is worth far less than ours. If you buy out their stock, you can withhold nothing until the price goes up. Wham-o! You've got profit!
Asoka: Well then, I do like this deal.

Simba: While you're here, let's make another deal, give me all your technologies!
Asoka: Wait, what?
Simba: Fine, you drive a hard bargain, give me all your technologies for the Alphabet.
Asoka: Um, ok?

Simba: Now let's go to Mr. Potter and demand his sorcery!

*Knocks on door*

Simba: You there, Mr. Potter? It's me, Simba.
Gandhi Potter: Listen, I told you-
Simba: I want your magic of folding over the gray metal!
Gandhi Potter: Listen, it's not magic-
Simba: Ah, you're just being modest. Now give me the fairy dust and we'll be on our way.
Gandhi Potter: No, listen, you need a forge-
Simba: Fine, everybody wants to know how I learned my ABC's. I'll just grab this...

He grabs the technology of Iron Working

Simba: ...and here's the Alphabet.

Gandhi Potter: I'm still not magic!

Today would be a momentous day for the entire Simban Empire, revolts spread like wildfire across the land.
Simba: Why are these people revolting?
Portugawa: I don't know what you find revolting about them, but in my opinion they smell like cheese, moldy cheese at that.
Simba: No, that's not what I mean. You're right, but why are they revolting against my empire?
Portugawa: Well, they want new names for their cities, sir.
Simba: Like what?
Portugawa: Well, Olafstan seems popular, and there are others.
Simba: What kind of name is that?
Portugawa: Remember way back when I said something about other people being disappointed if I didn't show up?
Simba: No, could you refresh me?

???2: Sir, we should get Animal Husbandry next.
Simba: Who are you?
???2: I am the mysterious Portugawa, I was forced off my Pangaea and so here I am, I'll be your tech advisor from now on.
Simba: What if I don't want a tech advisor
Portugawa: Well I'm sure some people won't be too happy with me being gone.
Simba: Like who?
Portugawa: General O-, I've said too much
Simba: What? I demand answers!

Simba: So this same General O- guy is persuading people to change my city names?
Portugawa: Well, there are others, dieties in a realm known as CFC. Turns out, it's kinda a big deal for your people.
Simba: Fine, let them change their names, but I don't like it.

Soon the empire changed their names, the capital was renamed to Olafstan, but Simba couldn't figure out where the "Olaf" came from.

Simba: Well, now what?
Portugawa: I heard that you can make a magnetic stick float on water and it will always point the same direction.
Simba: What if I spin around really fast?
Portugawa: It will point the same way.
Simba: Is it magic?
Portugawa: No, but it is magnetism, just trust me on this, have I ever led you wrong?
Simba: How long do I have?

Gandhi Potter: Hey, um, I heard you can fuse bricks together with some kind of gooey stuff, could I have some?
Simba: Only if you give me Priesthood
Gandhi Potter: Why?
Simba: Because it's what you love more than anything.
Gandhi Potter: How did you know?
Simba: I have my sources, now give it to me.
Gandhi Potter: :( ok, I guess I'll get over it eventually.

Thus ends part 5, stay tuned for more cities, more names, more confusion!
 
You'd think Gandhi would take the leap from clay top bricks, right?
 
Today was the day, today Simba would make himself a world power by making his nation a world power. He would expand until it was his bedtime, the secretly stay up and expand some more until the bright light of youthful idealism lay in his limp hand after falling asleep while expanding (which is almost as dangerous as falling asleep while driving).

Simba: Well, sure is a nice day to expand, don'tcha think?
Portugawa: I suppose, just like any other day.
Simba: Well, I want at least two more cities, make it happen Portugawa, and I want them here and here (points to map)
Portugawa: Are you sure about that first one, it looks like it would be better just one tile away.
Simba: Are you questioning my authority?
Portugawa: No, just your intelligence.
Simba: Just make it happen.

Simba: Ponyville, you named it Ponyville?????
Portugawa: Yes, it's what the people wanted.
Simba: Well, the people are revolting, absolutely revolting and on more than one level no less!
Portugawa: But they could be revolting again if I didn't let them choose their name.
Simba: Fine, just don't let it happen again.
Portugawa: I can't guarantee that, sir.

Simba: "Maxwaronia"? What kind of name is that?
Portugawa: I'm not entirely sure they just shouted something about Babylonian Idol, what can I say, I listen to the people.
Simba: You're no fun, always listening and stuff.
Portugawa: Would you like it if I didn't listen to you?
Simba: No, but that proves nothing.
Portugawa: Oh, we also discovered Currency, sir.
Simba: What? I wasn't listening.

Thus ends part 6.
 
During the times when stories weren't being updated, the glorious lands were in a state of anarchy, there was no law to speak of, let alone write of. Then it all changed.

Simba: Hey, I thought it might be a good idea to get a law code written out, you know, to get some order around here.
Portugawa: That's literally the greatest idea you've ever had, congratulations are in order (even though I told you to do this days ago)
Simba: Well, here's what I have so far.

RHpgw.jpg


Portugawa: Seriously, that's it? Just "Don't break the law"? What law are you talking about?
Simba: The law
Portugawa: But there aren't any
Simba: There's this one
Portugawa: It hardly counts!
Simba: Well, the popup with the tech quote came up, clearly I did something right!
Portugawa: You buffoon! They're not supposed to know that we know we're in a story!
Simba: C'mon, the cat's been out of the bag since forever, they know, We know they know that we know that they know ad infinitum.
Portugawa: Whatever, let's just continue
Simba: Oh, by the way, I had some guys found Confu-...Confoo-...Confusheeism?
Portugawa: Confucianism, is that what you're trying to say?
Simba: Yes, but how am I supposed to know how to say it
Portugawa: You can just sound it out, like a slightly advanced five year old.
Simba: You know I only have the reading ability of a four year old!

Simba: In any case, I sent a super-secret spy missionary to scout out our enemies' lands!
Missionary: Confucious says "If you have a missionary but don't intend on playing a religious game of civ 4, send it elsewhere to scout"

Monty: Hey, can I ask you a question?
Simba: Isn't that a question?
Monty: Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry...
Simba: If this is about war, no thank you
Monty: Oh, ok then, I guess I won't even ask.
