Introduction

On a distant planet, technology and progress have been cast aside and this world has embraced antiquity in its place. Charge rifles and power armour have been swapped for centurion garb and shield and sword.

And now by pure coincidence, or maybe a guiding hand from above, two twins abandoned at birth have begun their journey to create an empire that will stand the test of time and unify this wartorn globe.

Series Summary

  • Episode 1: The series starts, the colony is attacked repeatedly by Carthage and Germania. A 12 year old called Valentin "Val" Anastasi joins the colony and a prisoner is taken called Erik "Nytro" Nystrom. Carthage attacks again and knocks down everyone, a man in black called Steve "Thunder" Rahja joins the colony. Romulus and Val are captured by Carthage. Carthage attacks again and Steve is captured.
  • Episode 2: A visitor called Tydeus Thrasyllos of Delminion arrives. They are later arrested due to having good animal skill and a double passion (and because the UI broke for some reason). Remus is knocked down so another man in black called Paetus Tol appears. Tydeus is made into a slave so that the mood debuff for not having slaves is removed. Paetus Tol is given the nickname "Not Mike Tyson". Nytro is recruited to the colony. Remus is the first elected Elagabalus of the colony. A wanderer called Kenneth "Ken" Burdette joins the colony. Nytro and Ken end up in a relationship.
  • Episode 3: Ken is elected Elagabalus. Not Mike Tyson is renamed to Tike Myson. A raider called Breixo Turkey is arrested. Nytro and Ken get married. Breixo is made into a slave. A battle between two hostile factions results in one hostile named Turkey Balielou being arrested. After a raid that results in all good doctors being taken out Tike Myson bleeds out in bed.
  • Episode 4: Mr Streamer decides to postpone Build Base in favour of not dying. Carthage raids with two people, one of these dies but the raider Thibron Theramenes the I. survives and is captured. Thrasyllos almost dies of bloodloss, then an infection (they survive the infection by 1%). Nytro is renamed to Elagabalus, Ken is renamed to Neo. Turkey (Balielou) is recruited. Breixo Turkey is emancipated with the idea of capturing and recruiting them, this is voted against by the colony and so Breixo walks away. Mr Streamer removes the ability for pawns to veto actions and arrests Tydeus to recruit them. Thibron is enslaved in their place and renamed to Slave I. Reimus heads out and claims the artefact The Blade of the Sky as nothing is there due to mechanoids not existing, Mr Streamer makes a festival for it. Turkey is renamed to Sigma Draconis. Mr Streamer opens up an Ancient Danger, capturing five people from inside. One is enslaved almost immediately to become Slave II. Tydeus is recruited to the colony, and Reimus is elected to Elagabalus and extends the term limit to become a half year title.
  • Episode 5: Armour finishes researching, but Mediterranean Culture needed to be finished first. Reimus gives a speech to attempt to increase the mood, but it is uninspiring. After this a clique forms of Elagabalus, Neo and Jan Dearos. 3 prisoners are taken on from Athens for the goodwill to help stand against Carthage. Another one of the prisoners from the Ancient Danger is enslaved due to having dementia, they are renamed to be Slave III. Elagabalus becomes Elagabalus so Reimus becomes the religious leader again. A slave rebellion begins and is cut down immediately. Long Blade research finishes, so weapons can now be made for the colony. A slave escape begins and is also immediately stopped, a slave rebellion then begins after this and Slave III is killed in the fight. Raiders attack and a few are captured, shortly after this the prisoner Tara McCoy is recruited to the colony. A random wanderer Harriet Banroro then arrives and is let into the colony. Another clique forms consisting of Sigma Draconis, Neo and Tara. Jan Dearos is revealed to be pregnant with Reimus' child. The Gauranlen tree then dies for no reason. Mediterranean furniture then finishes, allowing for armour to be built for the colony. A raid containing Romulus then arrives at the colony, Romulus dies instantly due to shields being mechanically broken and attacking extremely fast. Neo then becomes Elagabalus.
  • Episode 6: Clothing and armour bills are set up for every member of the colony excluding the slaves. Riesling Bacchus is recruited, plumbing is then researched to help cool the kitchen storage to stop rats spawning. One person is captured from a raid. Aqueducts are then researched as well as a building of latrines being built for the colony. Another clique forms consisting of Elagabalus, Neo and Reimus. Harriet is converted to the Cult of Sol Invictus. The wall is expanded to provide more room for the city to grow, shortly after Reimus' son is born.
  • Episode 7: The land that was claimed is used to begin building a hospital. Outfits are then sorted out to segregate society properly. Jan Dearos becomes pregnant with another one of Reimus' children. Plumbing systems are then set up to provide water for the Villa. A scouting party from Carthage nearly kills the colony fully, but is dealt with without anyone dying ultimately. After this, the hospital is put on pause so that proper colony defences can be built. The colony is then almost wiped out by foxes before a Man in Black appears named Aphthonius Aemelius of Hafnia, as well as this Neo stands back up before being downed again quickly. Aphthonius is then downed. Mr Streamer then reloads the save to before the foxes attacked the colony. A prisoner is recruited and renamed to Diophantus, Jess is renamed to Qyvalar, Tara to Sine Morte and Harriet to Amare Dragonsfox. Riesling Bacchus retains their name, the child becomes Numa Pompilius Reimus. Foxes raid the colony again, this time however they are dealt with without the colony fully dying.
