Imperial Europe (Map Game)

1400

 * Scotland turns it's vision north by invading Iceland, the Orkneys, the Shetland islands and the Faroes


 * The Jalayrids invade the White Sheep Turks, trying to retake their lost territories.


 * The Crimean Kahnate sends forces to occupy the Caucasus region, expanding south.


 * Castille invades Maroc, causing Granada to start a war with Castille.


 * The KU counterattacks, driving the Scots off their islands. Due to Scotland's almost nonexistant navy, the KU set up a blockade on the northeastern coast, preventing the fishermen out of Aberdeen and Halkirk from entering the rich fishing grounds of the North Sea, and depriving that area of their livelyhood. They also hire several thousand German mercenaries and put down revolts in Sweden. An alliance with England is proposed.


 * Brittany finds gold and valuable gems. They offer to trade it to France. Due to the infation of wealth, a massive harbor town is proposed. The town of Les voie de l'eau begins construction of said harbors.


 * The Mamluks fall into civil war between western helped and supporter christians and muslims.


 * Muscovy expands to the south, capturing much land from the small Russian states such as Tver and Ryazan.


 * Aragon begins to expand its armed forces. A larger navy and standing army begins construction. To pay for this, Aragon begins to seek new trading opportunities in the mediterranian. A venture to explore the option of spreading into Africa is found favourable, although no attempt to expand southward is yet made.


 * The Empire of Trebizond declares a policy of strict military neutrality as their highly trained, but small army consists of only around 4,000 troops. The emperor begins to focus on trade and gaining wealth through the Silk Road.



1401
'''Where are the borders between Portugese Navarre and Aragonian Navarre? '''
 * Aragon invades Navarre. Resistance is heavy, but futile, and Navarre is almost completely conquered within the year. Aragon, seeing that its tactics are still incomplete, continues to reform it's army. An exploration mission to Africa is planned, to be launched in 1402.
 * Starting to worry about their relations with their Scandinavian and Russian neighbours, the PLC sends ambassadors to those countries.
 * Denmark proposes an alliance with the Commonweath, primarily in order to try to stop the Teutonic Knights from gaining more influence in the region. They also reestablish control over some of the rebellious regions of Sweden opposed to the Union. A small but permeanent navy is built, allowing the KU to retire the hired merchantmen used in the blockade of Scotland and employ a more cost-effective solution to keeping hegemony over the North Atlantic islands.
 * Muscovy continues its advance south, until parts of Muscovy border the Golden Khanate.
 * Brittany prospers with wealth as the new harbor capital is completed.
 * Navarre begs for assistance to England and Aragon.
 * The Jalayirids finish conquering the White Sheep Turks. A civil war, similar to that of the Mamluks', starts between the Arameans of the nation (Christian) and the Turks and Arabs (Muslim).
 * The Golden Horde, realizing the threat to the north, seeks to expand economic trade on the Black Sea to strengthen its power, as well as occupy as much land as possible to the north before Muscovy takes it all over.
 * The Portuguese invade Navarre.

Since when does Portugal have a border with Navarre?

'''I think they have territory just north of it, it doesn't matter as they have an alliance with Aragon, I just want it to be more clear on where Navarre became Portugese and where it became Aragonian. '''

But Portugal has NO land border with Navarre.
 * Scotland issues a formal apology to the Kalmar Union and offers several large plots of land in Perthshire to Queen Margaret personally. At the same time the Scots recrute several thousand new foot soldiers and significantly boosts it's naval capabilities before sending it's troops to the east of Ireland and attacking the English lands and giving it back to the locals, before suggesting an alliance.

1402
Technically we don't leave Europe till 1410, Please don't expand any further in Greenland, it is a very minor colony anyway.
 * Brittany offers trade to France. Brittany also increases their military. They're preparing to join the fight to hold back the Mongols next year.
 * The Golden Hourde offers a Treaty of Friendship with Poland, as well as Trading rights along the Silk Road.
 * Aragon and Portugal divide Navarre between them.
 * Aragon sends an expedition to the northmost shores of Africa. While it was hoped that new wealth would be discovered, this is not the case. Meanwhile, Aragonian merchants begin to increase their shares of Mediterranian trade, including a new trade route to Portugal.
 * The Jalayirid Civil War rages on. However, it is obvious that it is soon to end when, in the 24th of December of the year, Baghdad is captured by the Arameans. It is almost sure that the Arameans are victorious and the Government's troops start deserting. The Muslim Jalayirids are almost certainly defeated, and many nations start recognizing the winner Christian side as the true Jalayirid government.
 * The KU replies and accepts Scotland's apology. They stand down their navy, enabling them to redeploy it in the Baltic, to stave off Teutonic Knight-sponsored attacks by the Victual Brothers. They also accept Scotland's alliance under the condition that KU ships will be able to dock in Scotland's harbors. They also reestablish contact with the dwindling colonies in Greenland, restoring them to crown control. A small but steady influx of immigrants is able to increase the population, and Inuit tribes throughout the island are brought into the KU. Greenland, along with Finland and Sweden, are made Grand Duchies of the Union. The navy is also improved, with a naval college in Stockholm allowing for an influx of well-trained and loyal officers to replace the ex-pirates and merchant captains previously commanding the fleet.
