The world is a hard, dark place and you have many treacherous enemies. Only the greatest of leaders will be able to guide their people to survival and dominance. But you are great and you were born for this purpose. You have toiled and trained for this responsibility and now you will take on the challenge. As leader of your people you must show wisdom in choosing your course, discretion in dealing with powerful enemies, courage when war becomes inevitable, and intelligence in waging that war.
A clever leader knows that there are more ways to win than with swords and spears. Technology will make your society strong and your soldiers more dangerous. Economics will make your people rich and your armies well-equipped. Diplomacy will help you build powerful allies.
The world may be full of treachery and risk, but it is also a land of opportunity for those shrewd enough to exploit it.
Your civilisation is small but your people have room to grow. They need only a leader who can take care of them and who will guide them wisely in treacherous times. The era you will lead your people through begins at the dawn of human history and carries on through to future ages. It starts with primitive stone weapons and cave paintings, and ends with futuristic fusion bombs, combat robots and artificial intelligence.
Should you choose to take on this challenge and be worthy of it, then the world will be yours!
"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."
- Winston S. Churchill
