Possible IH: The Dawn of Civilization

[EightDeer]

After reading Vykke's (sadly unfinished) IH, I was inspired to do one of my own. However, mine's going to be a little different. I want to do one about the DoC, but there are a number of candidates. Another major problem is the lack of knowledge about the candidate civs. Most of what we know is based on second, third and fourth-hand accounts. If I do this, it's very likely I'll have to extrapolate, guess and outright invent major parts of the civ in question.

Is there any interest in such an IH?
If there is, vote for your choice of civ in the poll:

[Conqueror]

I don't see a poll

[Stig]

I do

And I voted Olmecs, simply because it's something different, maybe Polynesians would be more cool, but Olmecs are good too

[Conqueror]

Voted Sumer: Priest-King of Eridu, 3400BC

Egypt would be a nice one too

[Kraxis]

I also voted Sumer...

There seems the best chances of political intreague and warfare. Many small states along a fertile region, known to have been at war often enough.

The Olmecs don't appear to have had many strong enemies or even strong friends around.

I went with Egypt on this one. I just like the area, and the unification was an interesting time.

[Gurkhal]

Crete, just to be different.

Although I'll join no matter what theme.

[King Kurt]

China for me - it is a period that is interesting but I do not know much about, so finding out more would be good.

[GiantMonkeyMan]

looks like i'm the only person who thinks india would make an interesting IH

[EightDeer]

Quite a lot of interest for such a small forum.
Right then, China's on top. I'm going to leave the poll open for 6 more hours. After that, I'll start writing the first scene.

The first part should be posted tomorrow, or possibly the day after tomorrow.

[Gurkhal]

How is the first part coming along? Long time expected untill it's posted?
