Radioactive Tide (Map Game)

Radioactive Tide is a map game where Humans never went into technological dark ages and advanced much faster due to this, advanced civilisations found a way to pass on their technology and scientists that would have died before making a discovery were not. This caused humans to reach a peak of technology at around 1300 AD but unfortunately not long after humans managed to almost destroy themselves completely. Luckily however the earth survived albiet a little radiated and scarred in places. Now humans reappear on the surface and once more begin their struggle for dominance through military, economy, politics and technology using the rediscovered technology of times past. The lessons of the past have been forgotten and the humans of the present need you to lead them into the future. Only time will show who is worthy of earth.

Game
The reason the game starts in 336 is because the year 1 represents the year the first survivors started re discovering technology and 336 represents a time when technology can no longer be rediscovered and so must develop naturally, the technology of the year 336 is ww1 however flying machines are not yet discovered and there are other technologies hidden in there too.

336 Summer
''' POST YOUR NATIONS BEGINNING AND POSITION SO THAT I CAN ADD TO THE MAP. '''
 * Empire of New Albion: A group of survivors reinhabit the ruins of the city of Nova Londinium (OTL Boston). They declare the existance of the Empire of New Albion. They crown their leader Emperor John I with a simple iron circlet. Their first action is to re-establish control over the nearby farms to grow the food needed to survive their first winter. They also start cutting down the trees that had swallowed a good portion of Nova Londinium in the centuries since the city was last inhabited.
 * The Outback Colonies: The Maxamad tribe in Australia signs a charter with nearby tribes, creating a unified nation out of these tribes. While small for now, each main tribe's territory becomes a province. That being said, each of the three main tribes has a specialization. Maxamad is the head tribe, Newton is a tribe close to the ruins of an old-world settlement and therefore the technologically advanced tribe, sharing its knowledge with the other tribes. Theren is the war-tribe: they provide the military for the nation. While there are other tribes, these three tribes are the head members of the assembly and represent a portion of land near their tribes.
 * Japan: A large group of refugees and survivors gather near the Bombed out shell that was once Kyoto the level headed Japanese agree to elect an Imperial family and draft a constitution along with a reconstruction plan that includes the reuniting of the home Islands under one flag.
 * The Greater Isles: A holy man turns up in a large village (OTL Dublin) and begins preaching that salavation is needed or all the people shall burn in hellfire. Many people ignore him but some follow him. The holy man goes to several more large villages and preaches there all the while his congregation grows larger.
 * Federation of the Rio de la Plata: Some native american tribes create a oligarchic republic in the estuary of the OTL Rio de la Plata. This civilization developes a new organizative system based in three classes: Lords, plebeians and slaves.
 * Greater Slavic Confederation: wandering Slavic peoples find the city of Moscow and its Kremin, comtaining many wonders and technologies. They find a map of the nation once called Russia.
 * Nebel-German Confederation: The Nebel-Germans are finally united under one leader, known simply as the Fuhrer. He joins all of the seperate Nebel-German states into one confederate union and prepares it to compete with the other German states of the smog fields (OTL central europe).
 * The American Federation: Several large tribes in (OTL Illinois) band together and create The American Federation. It is a constutional monarchy. The leader is King Charles I who acts like OTL President but with slightly more power and isn't elected. There are representatives from all of the tribes of the nation who act like OTL Congress, called The House of Tribes. The American Federation makes their capitol in the ruins of OTL Chicago, they name it New Chicago in honor of it's former name, they vow to restore it to it's former glory. They start by chopping down trees in the nearby forest, makeing farmland and planting crops and fishing in the nearby great lake.
 * Federation of Hind-Bharat: In a meeting with warlords and dictators of former India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and of northern Mynmar, the Federation of Hind-Bharat is formed, out of the sheer need to survive. A leader is elected out of the meeting, effectively becoming the head of Hind-Bharat. First matters of agriculture is discussed and sutiable places to farm are chosen from rudimentary maps. Matters of an army are also seen upon, with all armed forces of former territories being merged to form a formidible army which was equipped with rifles and newly discovered machine-guns in the ruined cities of Dehli, Karachi and Islamabad. Calenders found by one dictator show, the date being shown as 1304. It is decided that the annual calanders will show 1670 all around the Federation, encorperating the 336 years since the first warlords appeared.

336 Winter

 * Empire of New Albion: Following the harvest the New Albionites send a scouting part to search for other civilizations in the area. They manage to find a significant settlement in the old Dutch city of Nieuw Amsterdam. They find that the Nieuw-Amsterdammers have not harvested enough food for the winter. The New Albionites, having harvested more than enough food from their farms, agree to give the Nieuw-Amsterdammers the food they need to survive the winter. This allows the two groups to form a bond of friendship that promises to stand the test of time. The leaders of the two groups sit down to the age-old tradition of Thanksgiving, which comes with announcements of the establishment of the new Republic of New Netherland. They draw up plans for a road connecting the two cities, but settle for a naval trade link until the road can be completed. The New Albionites spend the rest of the year repairing the old city walls of Nova Londinium.
 * The Outback Colonies: The lost city of Griffith is discovered by an Outbackan dig team. Though much of the technology is broken down and the buildings are decaying, it is the first of the seven 'Enlightenments of Australia'. An ancient Australian manuscript is found in a rusted safe.

It contains a vast library. King Charles immedialty orders several scholers to look over and note the texts. One thing found is a map of an old country called The United States of America, The King and House of Tribes vow to restore the country's former glory and more. The crops are brought in and more wood is cut. Walls are being built around the city out of stone salvaged from the old city.
 * Japan: Japan scavanging food, weapons, and Ammo from the ruins of Old Kyoto which they use to expand to Biwa Lake using it to supply fish and water for there ever growing population most Japanese welcomes the interm goverment with open arms and those that dont are delt with

 * Nebel-German Confederation: The Nebel-Germans start to upgrade their infrastructure, damaged by centuries of war. Their Fuhrer commands a huge economic upgrade of many of the factories they have been using for the last few decades.
 * Federation of Hind-Bharat: Fuel is discovered in barrels and is helped to power up the first car discovered. Scouts are sent to the south to incorperate more territories to the Federation. Scouts manage to get to Bhopal and it is officially incorperated into the Federation as it is leaderless. More expiditions are sent to Multan and Faisalabad, all leaderless and incorperated into the strong hand of the Federation. Crops are harvested and it is proven to be a good year. A railway-station is discovered and a diesel engine, still having fuel is powered up and it leads them to Amritsar, a city in the Federation. A new way has been discovered to travel from Dehli to Amritsar to transport various things.

 * Empire of New Albion: The New Albionites begin the processes of recoving the territory south of Nova Londinium, with the intention to link up with the New Netherlanders to the south. The New Albionites recover a sizeable amount of ancient firearms from the local headquarters of a mysterious organization known only as the "National Guard". When they officially found their army they name it the New Albion National Guard in honor of the legendary organization. By now the road to the New Netherlanders has been built, and has become officially garrisoned by National Guard soldiers until the day when New Albion's borders lie flush against New Netherland's. The road has mostly remained unnattacked by the bandits lurking in the surrounding areas mainly because of the fear the name "National Guard" strikes in the hearts of the highly supertitious bandits.
 * The American Federation: The American Federation finishes war building walls around New Chicago. The Americans discover an old armory from some mighty force. They aquire a large amount of old guns, artillery and ammo. With these weapons The Federation expands east into OTL Indiana.

 * Nebel-German Confederation: The Nebel-German's continue to upgrade the economy with another large influx to the industries.
 * Federation of Hind-Bharat: More diplomats are sents to surrounding areas to convey the message of being able to become vassals of the Federation to get support from them.

More farmlands are set up and former major cities attract attention of the Federation and it is decided that all trees in the city will be cut down. Major industries in the ruined city are restarted and industry in the other cities are repaired to be restarted.

337 Winter

 * Empire of New Albion: The New Albionites spend the otherwise useless winter months attempting to recover any usable technology from the city of Nova Londinium. Among the various finds are a pair of wireless telegraph devices found in an old building. They place one of the devices in the top floor of the tallest building of the city. They connect the device to the city's fledgeling electrical grid, and rig a primitive antenna to broadcast to the other device. They sent the other device to New Netherland as a way to better coordinate their plans with the New Netherlander authorities.
 * The American Federation: The American Federation starts to develop its own electrical grid from examples found in ancient technology, they set up wires and poles over the nation and set up electrical plants powered by coal. They found a great surplus of coal in a huge depots around the state. King Charles and The House of Tribes realize that the coal supplies won't last longer than a couple of years so they create a speacial commity of scientists to help either create a new source of electricity or salvage a source from the ancients.
 * Japan: In order to connect with Japans ancient and glorious past the Emperor reestablishes the samurai warrior class and symbolically declares Edo (tokyo) the capital of Japan.
 * The Greater Isles: As the holy man's now known simply as the Prophet disciples continue to preach their followers grow.

The Prophet sends many of his disciples to the south of Ireland which is mainly leaderless and in a state of anarchy.
 * Federarion of Hind-Bharat: More diplomats embark on their mission to connect areas with the Federation. Some arrive in the former state of Rajasthan, where they find it in a state of chaos. People welcome the chance to be assimilate into the Federation. The cities of Jodhpur, Jaipur, Udaipur, Ajmer and Kota are added into the growing Federation. The vassal of Indus can now be linked up with the Federation and is quietly assimated into the Federation with the leader joining the Federation Parliament in Dehli. Others arrive in the former state of Uttar Predesh and the offer of the vassal is offered with the offer being hard to refuse. Railway lines are used to transport equipment to cities in the south and to the north as well as into Bangladesh and the factories are restarted. More farmlands are created and wood production soars with more areas of the capital and other cities of the Federation.

338 Summer

 * Empire of New Albion: The New Albionites and New Netherlanders continue to expand to fill the no-man's-land between their two countries. The New Netherlanders, with the aid of the New Albionites, search for a legendary treasure that is supposed to lie somewhere under the city. They find it in the vault of a long-destroyed bank in the heart of the city. They split the amazingly massive treasure with their New Albionite allies, as it is larger than they can possibly use. It takes months for the New Albionite share to arrive in Nova Londinium by boat, as they do not trust the road's security enough to use it for such an enormous treasure.
 * The Outback Colonies: Several tribes join the Outback colonies, bringing in more technology. The Griffith Dig Project goes well. Records are kept and a map of the new outback is compared with the artifacts of ancient Australia. Meanwhile, several herbs for medical uses are rediscovered. Mortality from spider and snake bites decrease.
 * Republic of Las Vegas: In Las Vegas three tribes (the Omertas, the Chairmen, and the Whites) are united by a single person named Robert House. He unites the three tribes into the area of former Las Vegas. They form the Republic of Las Vegas.

He quickly organizes the excavation of the Las Vegas ruins. They find several hundred $100 USD bills, they mistake them for bandages and use them as such. The Republic of Las Vegas begins to expand finding various settlements such as Primm, Goodsprings, and the Hoover Dam.
 * The American Federation: The American Federation heres word of a great tribe to the south in old St. Louis. King Charles sends regards and some fish to them to start good relations. The Federation exands alittle west into Iowa. The Americans discover a huge reserve of gold and the king spreads part of it to the people, while keeping the rest in the national treasury.

Industry starts to provide jobs to the unemployed and Quetta is addmited to the Federation. Many new suburbs are built in Dehli and other major cities from the wood chopped and house-building material produced from industries. A duo of twin brothers, Kishen and Kunal Sharma, build a prototype aircraft using sheets of rubber and an engine powered by rare fuel. It manages to take off and flies for 15 seconds before in crashes in a tree. This gives hope to the brothers in being able to connect remote parts of the growing Federation. An expidition runs into former oil fields in Rajasthan and pipelines are soon layed to connect the field with all major cities in Rajasthan and Dehli. This gives the Sharma brothers hope and more prototypes are built.

338 Winter

 * Empire of New Albion: The New Albionites mount another expedition for Old World technology. They rediscover the riuns of the local oil fields, and garrison the with National Guardsmen, along with the engineers to get them up and running. They start work on a pipeline to take the oil to both New Netherland and to New Albion for fuel. They start work on an oil refinery in a small community on the outskirts of Nieuw Amsterdam. The oil will provide a vital fuel source for the Old Word vehicles discovered in their territory, and provide life-saving heat for both New Netherland and New Albion. The new community is to be called Fort Orange, after the royal house in the legendary homeland. The New Albionites plan to mount an expedition to the south to verify rumours a community of Old World Swedes discovered by a New Albionite ship that went off-course.
 * The Outback Colonies: An old gas station is discovered along an abandoned road. The Outback colonies use the gas to power cars found in ancient Griffith garage. A car is powered up for the first time in centuries. This allows the Outback explorations to move faster. Dozens of new tribes are discovered and several others join the Outback colonies.
 * Republic of Las Vegas: The Republic of Las Vegas attacks the settlment of Goodsprings and Primm. They are quickly over-whelmed and forced to join the republic. The Las Vegan armies find the Hoover Dam to be occupied by a heavily armed cult group that believes that their leader is a god.

Expiditions are launched from Rajasthan to a fabled coast in the south using old trains as there are railway lines running south. The lines reach Ahmadabad and Jamnagar, from where the sea is nearby. It is spoken of truely and after talks with the leader of the Southern tribes (who control those two cities as well as another 3 called Surat, Vaddodra and Bhavnagar), it is decided that the leader wants to be admitted into the Federation rather than become a vassal. The Sharma brothers present their upgrded airplane to the Parliament, where the head approves the reaserch into flying craft, seeing their potential of being able to explore new land. The army is upgraded with technologies found such as assult rifles, found when the cities were being cleared of trees, and better machine guns. Industry continues to produce things for house building and the areas recently cleared are the first ones to be completed as suburbs.

339 Summer

 * Empire of New Albion: The New Albionites and New Netherlanders continue to annex the abandoned lands between their two nations. The hinterlands are almost completely annexed. They start using the oil being refined in New Netherland to fuel the military vehicles salvaged from the National Guard HQ.

They attempt to contact people on the inside but are unsuccesful.


 * Federation of Hind-Bharat: The railway project is started, its aims are to connect all areas of the Federation. Another expidition, using old cars found in the deserts, is sent to northern Mynmar and the ruined city of Mandalay is discovered, where the people are living in desperate conditions. It is revealed in talks with the leader that the city of Akyab is under his control. He accepts help and also agrees to become a part of the Federation, stating that his needs cannot be answered as a vassal state. No more expiditions are launched. A new prototye of the airplane, a small triplane is flown. Fuel production increases and the houses project is started in Indus and Quettan cities as well as Rajasthani cities. Cities of Bangla-Utter are not left behind, with the focus more on farming and industry there. For the first time, the industry starts to turn out guns and ammunition for the army. A small frigate is found in the docks of Jamnagar.

339 Winter

 * Empire of New Albion: The New Albionites mount the offensive following a bandit attack on a farm controlled by New Albion. The power of the gangs is broken, and the remnants flee to the southwest. The gang's former capital, the city of Stratford (OTL Concord, NH), is garrisoned with National Guardsmen. It is planned to absorb the community once the lands between New Albion and New Netherland are absorbed by the two nations. Fortunately the gang had been ruling the city by force, and the city's population welcomes the New Albionites as liberators.
 * Republic of Las Vegas: The Las Vegans continue the seige of the Boulder City cannibals. The vault in Las Vegas is breached by the Las Vegans by attaching motar rounds to the door and detonating them. They fine that the vault is filled with pre-war technology. The leaders of the vault agree to come out of the ground and begin a new life above ground. They join the Three Tribes of Las Vegas as the fourth tribe, calling them-selves the Vault-Dwellers. Several members of the community suggest the name be changed to the Union of the Tribes of Las Vegas, the Union of Las Vegas, or the Four Tribes of Las Vegas. The Boulder City cannibals begin to eat the old and the weak. The Las Vegans attempt to breach the walls of Boluder City but they proves to be to tough to break through.
 * Federation of Hind-Bharat:

340 Summer

 * Empire of New Albion: The New Albionites and New Netherlanders continue to expand into the hinterlands in between their nations. The New Albionites begin repairs on a wide road leading to Stratford, which Old World documents call a "highway". New Albionite authorities recover Old World signs designating it Highway 93. The New Albionites redesignate it New Albion National Highway 1, as it is among the first in the new network spanning the area. They begin systematically repairing the old roadways of the area, as this would be a boon to transportation to both New Netherland and the semi-sovreign citystate of Stratford. The new road network is a boon to both exploration and expansion, as it nearly doubles New ALbionite mobility, especially paired with the Old World motor vehicles discovered by New Albion. Scouting parties are soon dicovering many previously undiscovered along these roadways. These communities enthusiastically agree to joining New ALbion and New Netherland, especially when they find out that they had defeated the feared raiders operating out of Stratford.
