Authors note: all the nations are from civilization 3.
It is the industrial age. Russia, Germany, and Zululand are the three most powerful nations. Russia has wiped out India, America, and Babylon, the Russians are now drunk with their own power.
A man dressed in a Russian military uniform walks into the Czar's throne room. His posture is straight and his stride is confident, his name is Ivan Gregorian and his position is the minister of war.
"Sir we have just gotten the reports back from the front, Babylon has fallen. We took the city of Nineveh without much trouble," Ivan stated in a tone that can only come from a military official.
"very good, very good. Everything is working out just right. We will start our campaign against Germany soon."
"Sir don't you think we should destroy France first? They are small and we can crush them like an insignificant bug, Germany is still a powerful nation."
"Nonsense," shouted the czar "Germany is small and their defeat will instill fear into the hearts of other nations and then we will posses them. I declare Germany shall be laid to waste!"
This descision was a grave mistake.
Russia sent a large troop of Cossacks to attack the German city of Hannover, the result was a battle that ended in a Russian defeat. Russia sent more Cossacks to Frankfurt and Hamburg but again they were defeated. Germany retaliated in attack that could only be described as vicious. Smolensk and St. Petersburg fell first. The rest of Russia was taken by the Germans by their superior Panzer tanks. The battle or Moscow was one to be remembered. Germany sent many squads of panzers and infantry men, the Russian Cossacks charged against the Germans only to be met with tanks and infantry men, the Cossacks were slaughtered horses went down the resounding screams could be heard over the gunfire and the boom of the tanks. The walls were assaulted, Germans took them without much trouble the Russian weapons were outdated compared to Germany who already crossed into the modern age. The rifle men were ripped apart by German gunfire, When the walls were destroyed infantry men stormed the city killing all in their path. They stormed the Czar's palace and put about five pounds of hot lead into him. Survivors say that blood hung over the city like a fine mist. This battle was known as the slaughter of Moscow.
What happened was that during the war Germans sought new technologies and worked hard at them. The Germans crossed over into the modern era and their weapons surpassed the Russians.
Germany is now the greatest power in the world. This leaves the French, Iriqouis, and Zulu
