- I started out on a map of Earth, on the North American continent all alone.
- The only company I had to keep my military units at strength were raging
- hordes of barbarains. My first job was to explore N. America and settle cities
- in appropriate areas, spacing them out, just in case another civilization
- happened to land on my shores. After building Marco Polo's Embassy, I was able
- to contact my two rivals and, through the sharing of our world maps, able to
- discover that both the Germans and the Aztecs shared the same continent, Asia.
- I made pernament strategic alliances with them on my first contact, and it was
- smooth sailing from there. Like myself, they seemed occupied with building up
- the cities they all ready had on Asia so they did not appear interested in
- across-ocean settlement. This left me plenty of undistrubed room to expand and
- grow.
-
- After building a certain WOTW (Wonder of the World), its increase doubled my
- capital's production, thus leading the way to many more WOTWs, and sent my
- power and Civilization Score soaring. I was always on the leading edge of
- technology, with the occasional trade of knowledge with the Aztecs. I upgraded
- to Engineers and my cities started producing more roads, railroads,
- irrigation, fortress and farmland at twice the speed as before. Well, this is
- pretty much what happened for centuries to come. When Caravans became obsolete
- by Frieghts, I started setting up trade routes with my allies, 3 trade routes
- to a city, carring assorted goods, depending upon the particular city's
- location. It blossomed, and so did my Democratic government with D.C.J. Quick,
- the President, at the healm.
-
- Finally, when it was announced to me that I would be retiring in 20 years, I
- stepped up my spaceship production (Apollo Program was already complete ---
- so were the maximum number of SS Structuals). I launched it, three years after
- the Aztecs had started constructing SS Structuals to their spaceship, and my
- spaceship would "bolding go where no-one had gone before" in 2019 A.D., just 1
- YEAR before my planned retirement! What a break, after shaving it so close.
-
- After landing on Alpha Centauri with my 40,000 people still all alive, I
- continued to expand my cities and influence to S. America, Japan (where it is
- located in the real world), Australia and the rest of the Pacific Realm. To
- this day, I am still continuing my building today, and maybe one of these days
- I will have a war and eliminate one of my opponents --- but, with World Peace
- still being maintained after the construction of the United Nations, by myself
- of course, and two Democratic and one Republican government in place, we we
- are looking to improve our own civilization's course of life, rather than
- going out and destroying one another.
-
- With the Persians, my power is Supreme and my reputation is spotless. If after
- eliminating one or the other, my reputation would be repaired to it's best
- very quickly, considering I have the Eiffel Tower WOTW. This is my Civ II
- story. I hope you found it interesting and enjoyful.
