Chapter One: The Start
(I don't own Civilization V)
Spain or the Spanish Empire, is an military and cultural superpower next to the Greater Arabian Republic. Over the years the Spanish has always took on the world, they settle in the harsh deserts, fought against the Barbarians of the west, warring with great foes and defending there lands to the last men, women and child. They purely believe in a unified military nation will protect the civilization from any danger, creating the ideology known as Autocracy. Unlike the Spanish Empire, the Greater Arabian Republic adopted the Freedom ideology, believing the people will united the world by them themselves, making the word democracy a famous word in the south. Spain and Arabia are rivals in this unfair world as they try to fight for domination in either in war, culture, religion, and technology, only one could win this game. Oh forgotten about another superpower but less important, the American Union, a Order ideology civilization with a motto of "Workers of the World Unite!". They are a very hard people living in the cold north, and has always fight against invaders and has the largest metal deposits in the world so far. The World has two continents and few islands and two great oceans, the continent of Terra, the largest (where Spain lives and Arabia) and the small continent of Gaia, a very primitive continent with hardly technological advancements, last are the islands of the Great Ocean and the two islands of the Common Ocean. Anyway the old is in the Atomic Era, also known as the Golden Era to the Spanish people, and soon, changes will come and only one can win, and I intend to win.

Arabia the same but less advance by artillery but more numbers.
1780 AD: Arabia and Persia join forces to try to put down the barbarians in the west but unsurprising the joint forces fail as they only put down a single camp, reason for this is because that the hilly forest region is completely hard to enter and that the barbarians has adopted guerilla warfare with mix technology so that no one can enter the Barbarian Forest.

Spain begins the Atomic Program.
1801 AD: ...
I closed the book slowly and look at my tanned hand, staring at the unwrinkled skin. "huh I haven't change a bit for thousands of years... interesting" I got up and took out another book and look into it while I sit on my silk chair and turn on the electric lamp near me. The book was from the Danish Kingdom, telling of two warrior couples fighting in a war against raging raiders. "Those Danes know how to write a good book~ I wonder if I could order that book in China about that dragon and two horsemen and that princess?". I heard a knock from the door and put everything away and open it. In front of me is an man in dark green cloths that has a long beard that reaches his top chest and short red hair. He stood proudly, as the older man bow a bit and speaking in a very deep voice. "Emperor Richard, The War Council needed your attention I fear that Gaia might needed our help after all, please come at once" His blue eyes looking into mine seriously, that same look when Arabia try to invade Spain back in 200 BC. I nod and quickly walk behind him, the halls are active with many servants and members of the government, many are in a hurry too, I see a man carrying tons of papers and other trying to call his wife on the early twenty style phone. A maid run pass us quickly apologizing very fast to clean up a mess some Honor Guard made accident. I turn to the left to see out the window, seeing Madrid in a buzzed of activity more then usual, tanks and infantry units moving out the city's wall gate, now knowing what might be happening I start picking up the pace to reach by my Military Advisor's side. We reach to a large wood oak door and push it open. I guessed the end is near after all.
War Room
The Large oval shape room held my generals, intelligence ops, and communication center of the entire Spanish Military. The Generals and Commanders are all sitting around a large rectangle table with the two maps of Spain mainland and the other of the world. I sat down on a empty seat as my Military Advisor sat right next to me, I lean forward to see the Celts and Mongolians are in full fledged revolution and both requesting assistant so that means Arabia as well. The papers don't lie, it's on full blue ink, I look at the Generals and my face turn serious. "Everyone, the cold war just turn hot and it's time we test our military capability, I know Arabia will no doubt be involved in this crisis, as they did before in the past. Now I know the 5th Army has been ready for this am I right?" Most of the Generals nodding and the few who do are commanders of the other Armies. "Good I request the newly formed 6th Army to be trained and shipped to the Celts imminently understand General Francisco Pizzaro?" The big bearded man nod. "Good lets get this started" This will be the end of this game.
