Now where were we? Oh yeah, more Persian-killing.
Unfortunately, while we're busy with the Persians, the Huns have begun encroaching upon our territory. We'll have to kill them eventually.
Of course, as you can see in the picture, Aberpanapopuma has huge tracts of lands, so they're not
that close. We'll still have to kill them, though.
We research Sailing and can build Galleys. Unfortunately, we can't upgrade canoes into galleys. I've started researching archery because that's a requirement for Bison Riders.
Meanwhile, the Maori convert to Christianity.
This Hun decides to hang around in our territory. We can't really take him on without several units thanks to his defense bonus.
But on to more pleasant matters: The conquest of the Persians.
First we batter down their defensesThen the Neanderthals attack and slaughter the atlatlistsLet's give the macemen some practice by having them mop up Pasargadae burns. We salt the city, burn the women and rape the fields....Yeah, we're still getting the hang of the whole pillaging thing. Invention ain't easy, you know.
Oh look. Now Persia is Christian too. Even though they founded Hellenism.
We finally have fish.
I put signs on the two ruins. I'm spelling from memory so I might not spell the name correctly, but who cares about Persian names anyway? OK, Persians obviously, but they don't matter.
Ooh, we can build a new culture! I wonder what they can do?
In any case, this is what I'm actually going to build.
Looks like an Aztec hunting party.
A diverse diet is a healthy diet.
I have a bad feeling about that chunk of Persian culture to the East. It shouldn't be there, unless...
Also pictured: The Persians getting a lucky event. The doomstack is chilling out next to the ruins to heal up.
We could build galleys now...
But let's build this instead.
Looks like I was spot on. Damn you, Frederick! The doomstack will have to take a detour!
It's lightly defended, but a lone macemen can't take it alone.
I remember some people wanting to become Ambushers. I can't remember who they were so please post again, or for the first time for that matter, if you want to be named an Ambusher.
We captured these two workers during the sack of Pursegaudium and right now they're just following the army, since I don't want to send units to escort them somewhere else.
Oh hey, another culture that we can build!
We have sight of the new Hunnic city. It's lightly defended, so I'm going to start recruiting a second doomstack in Aberpanapopuma.
Also, I'd just like to note that I really like this map. There's fertile land at the south coast, but mountains block most of the wind and thus moisture from the ocean and form a desert to the north of us.
Well then, time to take Tarsus.
That was easy. Let's end the update here, 7700 BC is a nice number. I also updated the world map! It even includes the path of the second violent migration.
