Chapter 368 The Chessboard of Civilization (5)

There is no difference between the classical era and the ancient era in Romney’s view.

But for the far end of Romney’s chessboard, there is a world-shaking difference.

This is different from Romney’s earlier encounter with the Qin Kingdom represented by Qin Shihuang, the two city states, and a bunch of barbarians.

There are more than ten civilizations gathered here, including Greece represented by Pericles, France represented by Catherine de Medici (Catherine for short), Egypt represented by Cleopatra, Norway represented by Harald, and Fei Spain represented by Lipe II, Aztec represented by Montezuma I, Macedonia represented by Alexander III (abbreviated as Alexander), and the Netherlands represented by Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Marie (abbreviated as Mary), etc. total eight Civilizations are mixed together.

The fighting and diplomacy of these eight civilizations is extremely exciting.

Among them, Norway and Macedonia, which mainly attacked wars, had already developed cavalry and began to attack several other civilizations on their own initiative.


Greece and Egypt chose a military alliance and used chariots to intercept the cavalry.

Four countries including France, Spain, Aztec, and the Netherlands fought in a melee.

To the west is coastal Norway, and to the center is Macedonia near the inland lake.

Greece is between Norway and Macedonia, and Egypt is at the southern end of Macedonia’s inland lakes. Because of the military alliance, when Macedonia attacked Greece, Egypt was also using a paddle boat to fight with Macedonia, helping Greece to draw Macedonia’s attention from the southern flank.

France and Spain are sandwiched between Norway and Greece, so in the war between France and Spain, Norway also participated in the melee.

Aztec was at the southwestern tip of Spain and used a dinghy to cross the Norwegian coastline with the Netherlands at the southwestern tip of Norway.

On the whole, it’s a mess.

But the mess has also given birth to rapid technological progress and overall development.

For example, Macedonia has researched the political philosophy of the classical era, Greece has researched historical records, and France has comedy and poetry.

Norway, Egypt, and Spain have military training, theology, and historical records.

Aztec and the Netherlands developed games and entertainment.

These are all inspired by the political system, driven by the death and construction of war units.

But none of this has anything to do with Romney.

Romney was just in the process of building the tenth construction worker when he was fighting in the west.

Yes, when he had seven cities, thirty military bases, and two battalions of temple knights.

Romney chose to build construction workers with all his strength.

He is ready to develop all the resource grids covered and increase the number of citizens at full speed.

Romney has been exploring for two months now. He knows that the number of citizens Ascension will rise, and the output and production capacity will follow Ascension.

Then the speed and time of building units will be shortened.

This increase in efficiency will further promote the construction of the city, that is, the construction speed of the shepherds.

The so-called sharpening of knives and not chopping wood by mistake, the seven cities made every effort to increase the size, and soon Romney completed the resource development of the whole territory.

It was also at this time that Romney began to build the fourteenth shepherd (all cities plus seven), and the first quarry grid was discovered by Erha under his banner.

It was three hundred miles away, on the edge of the desert.

The desert is outside the river corridor formed by the two mountains, and the north and south of the two mountains are unexplored locations.

After Romney discovered the quarry, he controlled Erha to patrol the surroundings.

Sure enough, Romney found six barbarians here.

Like some kind of special guarding resource, Romney didn’t use General Erha in the slightest. He blasted six barbarian tents and scattered barbarian units.

After that, they occupied these big tents separately to form new military bases.

When the shepherds built by Romney’s most fringe Xianyang began to rush to the quarry, Romney won the third battalion-level unit of the Knights of the Temple.

Without merging battalion-level units, Romney felt that battalion-level units with scattered activities were better to use.

After all, the surrounding environment still has large shadows, and Romney needs to use enough vision units to explore these shadows.

Soon, the shepherd went to the valley corridor to the northwest.

And the city unfolded beside the quarry and river.

“New city, please name”

This new city no longer automatically gets a name.

“The Eighth City”

Romney thought for a while, he didn’t want to bother thinking about the city, so he named it with the number of his eighth city.

The eighth city was built after Romney named it, and the ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth cities were also developed at the same time.

Except for the eighth city next to the quarry in the northwest, the other six cities are located in the center of Romney’s known exploration area.

After owning a total of 14 cities, Romney’s civilized forces’ productivity has been greatly improved.

At this time, Romney can produce 14 construction workers in two days.

In twelve days, fourteen shepherds can be produced.

If you build a soldier unit, you can get 14 ordinary soldiers in three days.

At the same time, Romney’s political philosophy was also completed.

This also marks that Romney can choose a new whole.

From the previous city-state government, Romney can now choose one of three from classical republic, oligarchy, and dictatorship.

Originally, I didn’t understand the difference between the three regimes, but when Romney was about to search for information in the city, three different attributes popped up and appeared in Romney’s mind.

“Classical Republic, all cities +1 housing, +1 livability; +15% great man points”



“Oligarchy, all land melee, cavalry, and naval melee units have +4 combat power; +20% unit experience points are obtained”

“Dictatorship, for every municipal square building, diplomatic area part-time job, and palace in the city, all output is +1; when building wonders, +10% productivity”

It’s very clear.

The classical republic was obviously used to build civilization and develop society, which can be seen from +1 housing and +1 livability. Although the great man points are currently not sure what they are used for or what they can do, they are also related to accelerating the development of civilization.

The oligarchy is a direct demonstration of the expansion of a certain kind of foreign conquest. After all, the attribute of combat power +4 has nothing to do with peace.

Dictatorship is somewhat difficult to judge, and Romney has not yet figured out the value of the spectacle, so he directly ruled out the dictatorship.

So, in order to accelerate the development of resources, Romney finally finalized the use of the classical republic system.

After all, the +1 housing and +1 livability can increase and accelerate the acquisition of citizens in every city. The higher the number of citizens in each city, the more productive it is, and the more it can develop the development potential of civilization.

Thus, on the tenth day after the beginning of the classical era, Romney completed the leap from the city-state government to the classical republic.
