Alright, here's the update at long last.
Now where were we? Oh yeah, we were going to kill some Persians.
Meanwhile, the Persians apparently intend to raid our territory with a tiny force.
We discover Caste System and switch immediately. It is the just fate of those who are poor and oppressed to be poor and oppressed.
Oh look, the Zebra Trainer! We can't actually use it until we discover Chariotry, though.
Our forces draw near Susa...
The Huron Manlets batter down the enemy's defenses... Somehow.
The macemen then spread out while our Neanderthal Warriors prepare to attack. Those Persians don't stand a ghost of a chance!
I took quite a lot of screenshots of this battle, but it can be summed up in only two.
Suffice to say, we take Susa and raze it to the ground. We didn't have a choice to keep it, since it only had 1 population.
We also start a mob of kangaroos. On a cold, swampy island.
It turns out I underestimated the Persians a bit, and several macemen die as a result.
We finish the Bison Trainer. We need to research Archery to actually use Bison Riders, though.
The little Persian raiding party has reached Popumayapan. I have no worries.
Although we've sacked Susa, Frederick still reigns from his palace in Persepolis.
The Persians attack Popumayapan, like the fools they are.
We research Boat Fishing, and can finally acquire those tasty ocean resources!
Another list proclaims us as the greatest civilization upon this earth, which is really quite obvious.
Our army discovers Pasargardae, a scenic town located near a mountain range, known for its large herds of horses. Will our intrepid band of violent murderhobos be able to defeat the vile Persians and burn it to the ground? Find out next time on "Let's Play Civilization IV: Caveman2Cosmos"!
I forgot to take another world map picture, so I drew one for you instead.
