Hey look, if you’re still reading at part 14, you probably don’t need much of an introduction.

Last episode, we got screwed with by the Incans, spread a little Catharism around the world, and planted a new city. Here we go…

Aaannnddd. Barbarians. Again.
I promise I’m not recycling screenshots. Look- the terrain is different!

We finally found someone else, so let’s negotiate with them and see what it gets us. Meanwhile, we’re spreading Catharism around the world.

Have a Little Bit of This!

Catharism has now been spread to Lisbon, and you’ll notice by the green bar under their name that our influence there has gone up.

Last time we healed up some of our more adventurous dudes, and found jack-nada in the ruins. We’re in the 200s and we still haven’t found another civiliation. My Carthiginians are starting to feel more lonely than Wodin at a strip club.

Taking a Break.

I wouldn’t put it past Sir Idiot Scout Dude to screw up being told to take a nap and get better, but just in case I’ve got a warrior nearby to babysit him.

civv

These Guys Just Can’t Take a Hint.

And we’re about to gear up for the Battle of North Utique, Part IIIIII, with a new barbarian camp having appeared.

 

civv

This’ll Just Take a Second.

I hope. We dispatch our speaman to clean up this mess. “It’s just an archer” he says, hoping not to be channeling his inner Custer.

Can you believe it’s 120AD and we still haven’t found any other major civilizations? Me either. Where the hell is everyone else? I kinda feel like Azz back in the old R&P last year.

Building a Wonder on a Whim.

It’s not going to take too long to build the Terracotta Army, so we’ll throw it in the queue and see what we get. +6 culture is nice to have.
