This my first and perhaps only time I will spell and use grammer better~D (look, it's showing the now!!!)

Anyway let's get on with the story:


PART 1: THE START
It was 110bc, the mighty Roman empire was flourishing quickly and conquered many provinces. They conquered almost the whole west, and learned so much that they knew about the whole world. Most of this knowledge was learnt from the conquered lands. The Carthaginians for example showed the Romans how trade and flourish with their trading skills and showed the Romans the power of elephants and....... well, you get the idea.Anyway I could talk about the expertise of the Roman empire all night long but no, I shall get to the point.
Most of this fame and glory wouldn't have been so great if it was not for a great soldier which I shall tell you now.

PART 2: THE HERO
The first person I shall tell you about is Manius, a street rat. He was tall and had a body built like a tank and had a roar so loud it was like having 50 voices screaming extremely loudly in your eardrum. his claim to fame was when the roman army was needing a sneaky fellow to spy on Eygpt. The street rat signed up instantly. He was sent to a general who interviewed him.
"Now, what's your name and where do you live?"
Asked the general in a rough voice. "Sire, I am called Manius and I have no home, I am a street rat." Answered Manius.Manius gulped hoping that the general wouldn't dismiss him because he was a street rat. "Street rat,you say?" said the general. "Yes." said Manius. "Do you want to know a secret?" "Yes." "I am a street rat as well as you. Did you know that?" "No" "I'll let you in but don't mess about, the army will be all over me because I was meant to train you." "Ok"

Manius left the room. He was sent to Eygpt and was brilliant at the mission, Manius brought back a wealth of information. He was then sent to Legion XI and fought his first battle which I will tell you now.


Right, that is enough,More tomorrow.What do you think?

You could create a new thread there rather than waiting for mods to move it..
Have you seen Rise to Glory, Wonderland posted his story here and I told him to repost it in the Mead Hall and the mods were fine with it, I think.

Haha Craterus, my Scythian epic is currently only on paper. I'm gathering material from my savegames every turn to write... It gets a little boring if you just write about which general moves where in what year, fights what battle, yanno? I have to think up nice justifications like hidden conspiracies by Macedon and Thrace to split Scythia between them, sorta thing.

My epic is also going slow, I have muchos muchos lecture notes to type out and essays to write, so Scythian epic on hold. (But daily game sessions not on hold. Not yet. Things haven't yet deteriorated to that stage :-P)

Part 3 continued,

PART 3:BATTLE




There was a clash of swords and spears as they charged, arrows and javilins raining above them.Many screamed in pain as a huge flaming firepot landed on them(could have beem worse, you know, could have been a flaming pig!~D )
"Damn it!Right, fire!"cried Manius. "Ready?fire!" Many arrows and javilins and huge firepots landed on the Eygpts and killed a many thousand of them, IN ONE OR TWO VOLLEYS!"Hahahahahahahaha!!!Thank goodness they know how to make mummies! Mhahahahahahahaha!!"thought Manius.(what a cruel man!~D) Manius was cocky and charged into the Eygptian's infantry.In a instant Manius's horse was killed and Manius was on his own..... what will happen? Find out later.

I elaborate my story too, of course, otherwise it is little more than a campaign write-up. Strangely, my story has/had I don't remember a conspiracy about Parthia and Germania planning to pincer Scythia and divide the plunder..

Check out the Mead Hall, the first installment of my story is in there..

Continueddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd..... ...........................

Manius slashed at a soldier's neck. "Di..................ctttt!" screamed the soldier."help!!!!"Manius cried,"What a general, going right into the heat,stupid idiot!"thought a officer."look! Manius is trapped!Help him!Charrrgeeeee!!" cried his bodyguards.Just then a volley of arrows were flying at Manius."I'm done for.... unless I cover my head with my shield and swing my spear around to keep the soldiers......yes! that's it!" thought Manius.he did so and it worked! A 100 soldiers were killed by friendly fire!This cleared the way for Manius to get the hell out of there! The battle was won as the brave Romans killed the rest(the 100 kills came in handy!) The soldiers cheered for Manius and cheered and cheered and cheered.He was blessed by the gods! And so he was premoted as Dictator and general and lived a live of killing,burning,leading and war... happily!
He was the best! but no one lives forever... as you will see....


PART 4:DEATH



80 years later, Manius lied on his deathbed."Son,"he croaked"will you continue my work?""yes,yes I will,father""Son,i................"

Manius died that moment. his son, Brutus, wept for a hour, then, he got back his strenth and so continued Manius's work.Brutus continued his life like Manius like that lucky (and very very jammy) escape, that happened the exact same way to Brutus.How he led his life in detail.... well that is for another story, my dear readers.....

that is it... the end of the story. did you like it?

Ps i had to put the last parts here... I'm getting more views in the singleplayer theard
