I bought part of Carthage from France, it is a coastal area.Trust Me, I'm The Doctor (talk) 23:25, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Still not showing the tiny strips of land that the Selk'nam sold to Wales and Japan on the Northern border. I'd prefer to have those there as they cement the fact that my main nation is not planning further expansion. Commandante Lemming (talk) 17:35, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Also since I'm bbeing a pain and colonized OTL Tristan de Cunha in 1784, that should probably be added. I don't see Tristan on the map but it should be two pixels - that and I was wondering if it should be circled on the map or something to note the existence of Selk'nam land in that spot since it's such a small colony. Commandante Lemming (talk) 02:22, August 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not even sure if the island is on the map.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:13, August 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * I actually looked back way to the beginning of the talk-page archives when the map was being designed and it was mentioned that it should be there (a bunch of islands were discussed at the time) - but it's not there on the graphics. But in theory if we're giving a pixel to 5) km sq land areas, Tristan de Cunha gets two pixels as it is 98 km sq, and there are plenty of other one and two pixel islands that do appear on the map despite being smaller than Tristan de Cunha. If you need, click here for coordinates. Also I'm going to expand that colony to nearbyGough Island (click for coordinates) next turn and that is 91 km sq or two pixels as well.  Commandante Lemming (talk) 16:34, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

WHOA hold on a sec, why is ukraine its own grey area all of a sudden?-Lx (leave me a message) 06:28, August 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * There is a mod event.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:13, August 6, 2013 (UTC)
 *  When I was gone, and I addressed those nationalists in 1784 when I came back(I also had a Ukrainian become Tsar). That event had no basis in the reality of Russia's political system. Novgorod was ATL's first major constitutional elective monarchy, where the people can decide in a veche, the same way they elect Tsars, to have them GTFO and force the THE tsar to abdicate, and all regions in Russia are relatively equally represented in the Duma, and no infringement on culture occurs(well, other than maybe forcing them to learn Novgorodian(they had their own dialect)/Russian, and shoving well, freedom of speech, assembly, truth(press), and dissent down their throats, cause those things are horrible). To Russians, getting elected to a position such as mayor or becoming a member of the Duma, since most if not all members are independent or at most in simple co-operation. If a group of nationalists from Ukraine need to bypass the Duma entirely, not even trying to petition them first(the Duma probably would have allowed them to secede if they kept one economic and customs zone and the same Tsar) and deciding to declare independence, the only logical conclusion is that they are not elected officials and therefore, in the eyes of the majority of both Ukrainians and all members of the Russian realm, not have the support of Ukrainians, tthem not being elected officials and all. -Lx (leave me a message) 19:34, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

The new 1785 map fails to include any of the lands gained by Bavaria and her allies in the past war.Trust Me, I'm The Doctor (talk) 16:00, August 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * This is because there still is no definition of what territories were gained.There is still unclaimed lands.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:13, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Please note that this map shows the division of lands following the Welsh-Dutch war. Also note, the Chile (3000 sq km) and Argentium (5000 sq km) colonies, in addition to Tulpung yr Aber (3000 sq km) and De Mor Tir (3000 sq km) will keep expanding. Thanks. ~Rex

<p style="font-size:13px;">Since Callumthered had asked me what was the situation of Catholicism on Europe, i went to do a coloured map of this.it got big, so now this became a incomplete world map.dark blue represents Kappelists, blue represents breakaway churches, light blue represents Catholicism, light green represents Nestorianism, green represents Islam, and yellow-brownish represents orthodoxy.it is still incomplete.Obviously, this is political too, as some nations will have some state religion, but the population will follow other one.Anyway, i don't know the Arabian Federation's state religion, to start with.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:48, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

<p style="font-size:13px;">Russia has an old novgorodian style Elective Monarchy. The Tsar was a firm believer in Russian unification, and once he gianed the title of Tsar of Minsk through marriage, since he wanted at the least unified russian realm under one Ruler, and he did not want his efforts to be in vain when he died in case his son did not become the next Tsar(elective monarchy) so he had the two Crowns linked, although he kept the title of duke of minsk to his own family, the title of Tsar of Minsk and Tsar of Novgorod and Russia were linked. I find it is good logic, but If that's too complicated you can consider it like an act of union/annexatoin and ignore the part about a seperate Duma being built in Minsk.-Lx (leave me a message) 20:32, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

Industrial Algorithm Modifiers and Industrial Era areas and rates.
I have a proposal to modify the algorithm to put into perspective the colonial wars of the 18th-20th century. An algorythm multiplier would be applied to all wars with the side with a higher stage gaining 10% extra for each stage higher they are. Nations with two stages use the higher when defending and the lower when attacking. Scandinator (talk) 04:59, April 28, 2013 (UTC)



Stage 1

 * The Air Furnace is developed
 * Agriculture begins to rapidly shift with fertilizers and rest years for the fields
 * Chemistry develops in leaps and bounds

Stage 2​

 * Steam Power is developed and water wheels are heavily utilized
 * Various chemicals are produced in large amounts
 * Health care and anatomic understanding improve, birth rates still high but death rates on a massive decline
 * Urbanisation begins on a significant scale

Stage 3

 * Paper mills develop with the tech to produce large reels of paper
 * Cloth factories begin using machines and steam power to increase productivity massively to keep up with population boom's clothing demand
 * Railways appear
 * Some revolutionary rumbles appear

Stage 4​

 * Civilian railways appear allowing easier access
 * Stronger cements are produced
 * Steel and Glass are avaliable
 * A few colonies and nations will have rebellions in this period

Stage 5

 * Ironclads and Artillery become widely used in combat
 * Revolutions by poorer citizens in cities become frequent

Stage 6​

 * Tanks and planes appear
 * Total War emerges with populations also targetted
 * Nationalism appears in larger multicultural nations

Stage 7

 * Atomic age begins a decade before the start of this age with certain nations able to make nuclear weapons
 * Wars between atomic powers CEASE, due to the threat and consequences of nuclear war
 * Colonies rebel for independence

Discussion
I'm extremely confused. Also, I think the industrialization chart should be corrected, as Scandinavia has been vanquished.

 * I don't see no need to remove them, as they have already been removed.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 17:07, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

I like this one better than it's predecessor, mainly beccause there are more divisions here, allowing for a more accurate representation of the country's standing. Albeit, there are a few things that could be amended. CourageousLife (talk) 16:22, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Same here. Much better. And what is confusing Scraw? It is pretty simple to understand once the map is up showing industrialisation levels. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:27, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, it's for the map.


 * 17:16, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

It needs some corrections, as some characteristics are too late or too early for their times.Such as: We should move the appearing of railways to stage 4, and their spread to 5, to start with, After all, when we talk about railways, this implies steam locomotives, necessarily.And, steam locomotives in 1770?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 17:04, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * That isn't too far-fetched. A viable steam engine existed in 1782, it just took a while(about 20 years) before people to realise it could be used for rail transport. A two-cylinder steam engine was invented by a Russian in 1766...it had great potential, and could have perhaps accelerated the development of the steam locomotive by a phew decades(maybe only 10 years to say: put it on a fracking train) but The Empress ditched the designs in favor of a more "Brittish" system(i.e. hydraulicaly cooled that required close water supply...this lagged locomotive construction). So...RUssians could have built locomotives in the 1770s...but the empress wanted to stay close to brittain, and brittish-style tech, so that slowed many things...and because of that, the twocylinder stam engine was scrapped.-Lx (leave me a message) 23:42, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Well, unlike the last game, the East is on better footing with the West, and thus will breed even more competition. I think this is completely fine if you ask me. Imp (Say Hi?!) 19:42, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

I've done the research in the industrial era. For whomever industrializes first, these technologies do not suddenly appear. It is gradual in within each stage. Scandinator (talk) 11:42, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

I would think that, like in PMII, crimson would be a fraction of the main natino around the nation's "heartland/capital" area, and the rest of the nation would get industry red. And colonies would industry get a colour under their founding nations, etc... However, I am worried about the ammount of colours...in any case, I do believe that orange and yellow(or at the least orange) should get planes at the same time as red and crimson...technology and trade would change to the point that...well...those nations could do thema t the same time...-Lx (leave me a message) 18:43, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

I feel like one of these (red, yellow, orange) should be removed. Also, shouldn't Europe (closer to Italy) be receiving industrialization faster than the Middle East?

21:21, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

Not that the map is bad, but I would say that the coast and Dehli should be joined up as they are prime industrial locations. Doesn't really change anything, but it looks nicer, lol. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 21:33, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

The Arabian Federation should really industrialize earlier than its vassal of Baghdad I think. Albeit just industrializing along the coastal regions like Oman and Qatar where the majority of my urban population lives. The Nejd won't see industrialization for many years later. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 00:15, May 21, 2013 (UTC)

China would industrialize quicker than the yellow rate due to their extensive trading, especially with Orissa and Italia. CrimsonAssassin (talk) 17:20, May 21, 2013 (UTC)

I too feel that China should be in orange.

I also find it strange that both Georgia and Austria are in orange while Germany itself is in yellow. Not to mention that Germany was higher than Russia on the chart and closer to Italy than Russia.

21:25, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

Aren't any of these going to be addressed?

17:25, May 25, 2013 (UTC)

I'd so something about it since I'm a mod, but I'm not sure if I have clearance for this map. CrimsonAssassin- "You can't handle this egg roll" 18:20, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

You know, I'll edit it since, not only does it seem like the plausible thing to do, but worst-case scenario, they'll revert it and yell at me a little. CrimsonAssassin- "You can't handle this egg roll" 16:53, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

I think there should be less of orange China, as lots of those areas would be presently unsuitable for industrialization.

22:58, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

It's just a buffer between red and yellow.

CrimsonAssassin- "You can't handle this egg roll" 05:44, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

I like how Germany is on the same level with the Dimurat and Siberia.

23:06, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

As per my post on the page I'd like to propose that the point on Steel and Glass is changed to "Steel and Glass become mass producible". Also I now have both light green and yellow industrial stuffs in my nation so how does this affect my industrialisation? Kunarian TALK 06:54, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Based on precedence, I'd say no, as I've conquered both orange and red territories. I'm in orange, so realistically speaking, I only got red land but no red rights. So I'm pretty sure the answer is that you will not advance.

21:06, July 22, 2013 (UTC)

Nation pages & PM2 awards?
Hey I was cleaning up the PM2 category just now and noticed a lot of the pages (especially for nations) are lacking content. Some pages have lots of content and are fantastic. I'd like to see all of the pages to the same standard and hence I'm thinking we do a PM2 awards to motive people into doing it.

'''Regardless of these awards, all players should update their nation pages so that nation history is easier for other people to learn about. It also helps in building the PM2 world too.'''

But these PM2 awards are just a for fun idea I had, we think up some categories for the awards (e.g. best nation page, greatest war, funniest post, largest nation, etc.) and then we all vote for which player, nation, etc. deserves the award. This game does have many months of content and I think we should highlight this more, and give credit where credit is due.

I was thinking maybe double colonial expansion rates for a year or a small algorithm bonus could be the prizes, which would be given out via mod event once the awards are given out.

What'd you guys think to the awards? Also please do update your nation pages!

--<font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 12:07, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

I'll be doing a full re-write and re-structure of the Venice page in my holidays. I think the algorithm bonus would be good. Maybe out of 5 for a nation's organization, with NPCs assigned the first decimal digit of the chance score divided by 2 as theirs. Scandinator (talk) 12:28, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking just like +3 economic development or something like that, nothing major. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 20:12, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

Alleged PMII ASB - ness
i have seen for a few times already Collie's post about Daxus labelling PMII as asb, taking this idea, what do you find ASB In the game, or that you find odd, that you think would never in any way have happened in OTL after the POD in 1450, i would like to know what you say guys. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 22:47, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

Well Tyrol, a majorly German state, being a French vassal, especially when in OTL they had a much stronger relationship to Bavaria and Austria. I'm still somewhat bitter I couldn't get Tyrol:(Andr3w777 (talk) 02:51, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

What I find a bit ASB was the Koori Union, allowing a massive colony in Australia. Also implausible was the Caliphate, and the exile states in Antillia/Atlantia.

03:10, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

i agree with the koori union, and the caliphate and must to point out the fall of spain, and the ottomans, i mean, both were the strongest nations of europe and the islamic world at their times and the english and french balkanization and later welsh supremacy on britain.

There are a lot of OTL events that sound crazy in hindsight but every now and then you get black swan events. That and I have some sympathy for the Koori - if you make it possible to play tribes, chuckleheads like me will give it a shot, and we kinda have to write our own rules in terms of how to develop ourselves quickly without getting bounced. I know I crafted the Selk'nam strategy only AFTER reading all of the Koori, Apache, and Lakota history - and I still worry about getting dinged on the realism. Part of the problem is I think we don't have a lot of REAL history regarding tribes attempting to aggressively Eurpoeanize before the colonists reach them (which is the key "what if" of our entire game). By the way - I'm happy to accept any input on the conduct of the Selk'nam, as I am well aware of the fact that they have a lot of ASB potential...of course I'm still going to play hard and excecute my plans, but I'm always open to input seeing as past tribal players have been controversial.

So don't worry about it, but some of the more implausible events include: the collaspe of England & the rise of Wales as the dominant nation in the British isles, the Mayan empire still existing, everything to do with the Koori, the Ethiopian colonial empire, the Indian colonial empire, the Cypriot colonial empire, the Caliphate (especially invading Russia), Italy's unification, the Balkans being a series of Italian vassals and other small states having colonial empires (japan, saxony, etc.) <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 11:26, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

When there are less idiots, there are more empires. History showed us that with Rome, the Mongols - even Oman. Plus, if this universe looked at ours, then they would say the stopping of Hitler was implausible, and a small chain of islands becoming the largest colonial power in history lunacy. Its just you viewpoint - and events which youthink will never happen, happen. Koori and Wales are the only two I would say are the worst ones. The Capilate could have happened if there were less idiots in OTL. Here they were - therefore it happened. India has had some good emperors if you know what i mean, lol), and has backed Ethiopia expanding. Ethiopia is like Russia - a developed country gets the chance to expand into the uncivilised lands around it. So critics like Dax should notice these points before commenting. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:46, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

I think Dax, like many others, just criticize because other map games that have come, and done events like PMII have been called ASB, even though the reason of how things came to be are like the ones here, so he is following the ASB standards of this wiki. and Like Von, i find odd cyprus, The maya empire and Englands collapse, though i find italy and germany's unification just a event caused by the Caliphate threat.

Protectorate rules
Seeing how some nations are getting protectorates I think we should make the rules about them clear. As far as I'm concerned they aren't as good as vassals so they should be treated as NPCs in the algorithm, but the protecting nation should always help out their protectorate in any wars they are in and if you don't then the protectorate treaties will end as you failed to protect them.

Extending there treatment as NPCs you can't post turns for them either, and they can only give +1 to algorithm strength scores as (P) and they must be close to where the war is happening otherwise they don't get involved (e.g. Normandy's Mogadishu protectorate can't send aid to Normandy's wars in Europe).Protectorates get a -3 algorithm penalty in all wars due to their reliance on their protector.

They are shown in the colour of the protecting nation on the map so players know if other PNs are protecting them, and also you can only have a maximum of 5 protectorates. If you have 3 or more protectorates you also get a war algorithm penalty of -2 for having protectorates as your military will be stretched trying to protect these far off nations. It'll take a 4 year minimum to establish a protectorate too. You can also then peacefully turn your protectorate into a vassal or puppet after 15 years of that nation being your protectorate. You can do it sooner than 15 years if you like but an algorithm will be needed.

Thoughts on these new rules? <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 18:24, July 6, 2013 (UTC)

I think that this is good enough.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:51, July 7, 2013 (UTC)

Okay and also they should expand like NPCs since players can't post for them and because the protectorate is weak relying on another nation for protection.

I'll add this stuff to the rules page in a few days to give other people a chance to comment on these new rules. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:30, July 7, 2013 (UTC)

Prussia
Okay I'm back but unlike last time (and the time before) I actually have time now to do things. So I was wondering if I could take over Prussia, the user is inactive and it's grey on the map, I'd enjoy creating a rich history as the nation (maybe being a go between for Russia and Germany or something just as interesting) and I'd love to have something to do over the holidays that appeals to my more mechanical rules based side than creative writing I'm doing on other wikias. Kunarian TALK 20:05, July 6, 2013 (UTC)

I was going to invade it as soon as I was done with Napoleon...so, er...you choice. Also Germany and Russia are long standing allies and share the same monarch for now.

Congress of Avalon


Much like the OTL Congress of Vienna, I would like to propose to all leaders of all nations effected by Strellok to attend the Congress of Avalon. There are a few great perks of attendance:
 * See beautiful Avalon!
 * Decide the fate of Europe!
 * Create a new Map!
 * Prevent future Strellokian Generals!
 * Celebrate the end of the Strellokian Wars!
 * Work to prevent the rise of an Eastern Empire!

My propsosed agenda involves: New Map, New Alliances, and New Goals.

New Map
My new Map consists of the following changes:
 * Unification of Welsh Lands
 * Unification of French Lands
 * Unification of Dutch Lands
 * Unification of Brandenburger Lands
 * Unification of Saxon Lands
 * Unification of Bavarian Lands
 * To the Netherlands - Cleves
 * To Switzerland - Sundgau and Strassburg
 * To Wales - Bar/Metz, Mainz
 * To Saxony - Westphalia, Berg
 * To Brandenburg - Munster, Cologne
 * To France - Papal Provence
 * To Italy - Papal Provence

The Rhinish Confederation
The Rhinish Confederation is to be broken up. The idea was a great one, masterminded by Saxony, and they have as such received a large portion of the former Confederation. It is evident from our experiences, however, that the Confederation, when unified, can pose a threat to all of north-central continental Europe. If we allow the Confederation to continue in existence, we risk allowing another threat, another Strellok, to rise up.

Furthermore, the Confederation increases problems caused by vassals, and causes a notable tension between the King-Duke of Saxony and whichever nation moves to vassalize the region in the Confederation. (ie, Luxembourg, Lorraine, Cleves.) This undermining of regional authorities causes the instability in which a Strellok-type general can emerge.

Each nation of the Alliance will, therefore, gain lands in the former Confederation. The idea is to give lands geographically near to the original holdings of each nation.

The Luxembourgish Question - Part 2
Luxembourg is a valuable asset to any nation, It posses a notable land area. It has a sea border with the Brythonic Channel. It has a mixed French and German population, with decent Alban influence near the sea ports.

During the Wars, the primary liberating forces fo Luxembourg were Wales and Brandenburg. The combined navies of these two nations liberated its coasts, and then 100,000 Welsh troops moved to liberate the countryside, from 1757 to the Wars' end. Furthermore, ethnic-French peasants rose up against the Rhinish armies in support of the Welsh invading forces and French forces south of the Luxembourgish border.

Therefore, a 3-way division of the lands would be most beneficial. The Brandenburgers will retain the primarily German Luxembourgish portions of the nation. This will be connected to their mainland, through Cologne. The central farmland, French region shall be ceded to the French. And the coast, already under a Welsh governor, shall remain Welsh following the Wars, since this region was liberated by the Welsh.

Venaissin
Considering the recent decline in the influence of the Papacy, the region controlled by the Pontifical Majesty shall be reduced by a considerable amount.

This is for His own good, especially with semi-hostile Italian interests really closeby. The only terms of this agreement is that the Pope doesn't become a Vassal, Protectorate, or Puppet-State of any nation in Europe, and that, if attacked by a hostile power, all nations will retaliate and defend the Holy City of Avignon.

Discussion
Germany wholeheartedly opposes to the Welsh control of Central Germany (Bar, etc) and also the lack of a hardwon coast from Burgund nearly 200 years ago. In fact, all of Luxembourg is essentially German. Also, the region was not "liberated by the Welsh" who are simply seeking to steal land on the continent. Also I will not unite my lands just because you say so. I have several distinct ethnic groups within it. Also, if Wales get the Luxembourgish coast, which is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of it, Aquitane demands the southern French regions which it intervened in in 1756/7/8. Again, I am very much opposed to most of the Welsh gains in this war. The current Welsh occupation of the Luxembourgish coast is an occupation of German territory, not Rhinish, nor French. This potentially calls for war. You have reduced Luxembourg to a rump state that is smaller than it originally was in 1450, and Germany will not tolerate this. Germany win also not protect Avignon in any case as Germany is not Catholic and has not been for well over 100 years. 00:53, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

to be correct 155 years/turns ago and Your claims in Southern france have no reason as your intervention was to france itself, not Occitania or Papal provence which is vassal to france administrated from carthage, and i agree with you, although not due to Luxembourg being german ( they are Franco-germanic peoples rather than german or french) and even so the point of luxembourg would be that in the case that luxembourg was to be partially given to france it should mean that either the netherlands cede some of flanders to keep luxembourg's coast ,and per se i say status quo antebellum for the allies that fought strellok, and a division of the rhenish land between Germany,France,Switzerland,Bavaria, the netherlands  and Saxony as they were the affect, italia, wales and other involved nations shouldn't gain anything because they were not directly affected by the war. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 02:38, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

My idea behind giving the land in Central Germany to Wales was not to give the land to Wales proper, but the Palatinate, a nation which is in Dynastic/Personal Co-Union with Brython. Also, pegging Wales in with Italia and other nations (ie Russia), isn't fair. Strellok declared war on Wales. King Arthur II himself led a naval battle that eliminated Strellok's navy. He also led a landing in Normandy and an attack on Luxembourg with an army numbering 100,000 when Germany was engaged defending its capitals. We put him on the defensive in the north. Reximus55 (talk) 04:44, July 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Palatinate is already with Bavaria, and has been so for very long.

Switzerland agrees to the new map This is UglyTurtle, Signing off. 04:56, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Where are Bavarian gains, we helped turn the tide of war yet we haven't been given anything??? Bavaria will not defend Avignon, there is no reason as a Germanic Church member we should aid the Papacy. I am opposed to Wales gaining land, and from a Bavarian perspective as a founding member of the Germanic Union, a Welsh occuping force can be seen as an invasion, in which Bavaria and Germany will respond in kind. Andr3w777 (talk) 05:07, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

That is a good point, yet I fail to see where you can gain any lands... maybe Strassburg can go to Bavaria in place of Switzerland, or maybe France will willingly relinquish Tyrolia since they are now distantly connected and you can gain Tyrolia. You border Mainz-Palatinate (Welsh Union), Switzerland, Tyrolia (French Vassal), Strassburg, and Westphalia. I think we can all agree that Saxony was hit the hardest, and therefore they deserve Westphalia. An alternative may involve you trading Slovakia for Austria?

On a seperate note, what occupying force on behalf of Wales do you see? The only Welsh force I know of is the one in Luxembourg, and that one is to liberate the region. If you are referring to the military governor, it is commonplace for a General to assign a Governor of the regained territory during the war to prevent war crimes, and to enforce pre-war law. Reximus55 (talk) 05:54, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Well first of Palatinate is Bavarian, I vasslaized almost a decade ago and annexed to my main nation, it was a part of a deal i made awhile back. you have technically taken it from me through your union thing. i was under the impression that you were refusing to relinquish hold of liberated areas back to Germany, which is what I objected, I have long wanted Tyrol and Straussburg. I can relinquish my claim on Palatinate if I gain those two.Andr3w777 (talk) 06:36, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry about the Palatinate! It has never been on a map that I have seen, so I deeply apologize. I would like to maintan my possesion of the Palatinate, however (if possible). I think it would be more than reasonable for you to gain Tyrol (up to France, not me). As for Strassburg, I think a 50-50 split with the Swiss would be fair. If the Palatinate is truly off limits, I will edit my posts to say Mainz. Reximus55 (talk) 08:24, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

The King-Duke applauds Wales' initiative in beginning a Concert of Europe. Saxony agrees with most of the proposals, but has three objections and one request. Firstly, We wish to gain Cologne (or some other part connecting Saxony with the Netherlands), as we wish to share a border with the Netherlands and not to be entirely hemmed-in by Brandenburg. Sacondly, we wish to be able to allow Anhalt to retain independence (if we want to), as is our right as overlord. Thirdly, Prussia should remain independent. It has contributed to the anti-Strellokian alliance as much as it can, considering its size, general backwardness, and distance from the war. If it is not, then the rulers should be compensated with either the proposed "Palatine" nation, or Anhalt, if the civil war stops. Callumthered (talk) 11:30, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * We thank Saxony for pointing out the effort that Prussia has put into the war and we reinforce the point on our independence. Kunarian TALK 11:54, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Germany (Br.) offers to give that thin piece of land between extended Saxony and the Netherlands.
 * 16:11, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Also, could the Confederation's loyalist Government-In-Exile take up permanent residence in Rhinish Guinea and establish a Boer-style country there? They could be a member of the GU. Callumthered (talk) 11:39, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

'''I have already decided on how this event will end and how the Rhinish confederation will be divided. Wales you get nothing. This discussion is rather unneccessary. I had already put how the Rhine Confederation will be divided between the German Union nations on the Greater Germanic Union page a week ago.''' The other talks about Avingion and stuff however are okay, but the Rhine question has already got an answer a week ago and even longer ago when I was thinking through these events to do with Strellok. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 17:35, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

I do not think that the partition is fair, at least for me. Cleves is located inside Netherlands, and long ago was vassal... Then came the mod events that formed the confederation, taking my 2 vassals: Cleves and Munster, and at the end of this war I have not received practically nothing, since I am one of those affected. I think at least the top of Munster should return to my control. Quashi (talk) 20:21, July 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * I (Saxony) will happily give you the top of Munster. Callumthered (talk) 20:29, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

I, Lithuania, would like to have an alliance with Germany against Prussia. I would like a share of Prussian territory. including the capital of Konigsburg if possible. OOC: I hope to slap. Lithuanian name on Konigsburg.Yank 00:29, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Accepted, this time. Last time I was in a huge war. Sorry.

 * I as Prussia ask for a guarantee of my independence in the form of alliances from Lithuania and Brandenburg. I am shocked to hear of this as we have been allied with Brandenburg and the rest of Germany for a few years now and have sent some of what few soldiers we have to try and assist Germany, including Brandenburg. This is not an alliance against Brandenburg Kunarian TALK 06:41, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Alongside our request for an alliance simply to guarantee our independence, we would ask for an alliance against Lithuania to reclaim the lost Prussian lands, anyone who would join with us may take any amount of territory beyond the area (basically all the teal land) shown in the map as we would simply like our homeland rejoined once more.

 * If Brandenburg enters into an alliance with a foreign power against a fellow member of the GU, Saxony (and Bavaria) will have to consider whether Brandenburg is truly committed to the "stability of central Europe" or whether it is merely committed to its own personal gain. We  sincerely  hope that Saxony will not have to do any such considering, as Brandenburg is a long-standing friend and ally, with morals &c. Callumthered (talk) 11:30, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

 * We joined in 1755. Saxony and Bavaria have understood this, we joined on the terms agreed: That I would convert to the Germanic Church and that I would be open to arrangements towards a protectorate in the future. Kunarian TALK 16:29, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was of the mind that he had been accepted in 1755, hence the objection to an alliance against him. Callumthered (talk) 20:33, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

If you must reduce Venaissin (which is the proper name), then at least allow the Pope control over the holy city of Avignon. It houses the only proper papal residence other than the one the Italians forced the papacy to evacuate in Rome.Yank 00:23, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Pretty sure that was just used in order to Not have to type the more complicated name of Venaissin. That was the name it had when the Papacy was there in the 1300's and its the name now.

I doubt that the current Prussian government could be classified as a revolutionary government. At best it would be -10 for Prussia with the last government change being entrance into the Germanic Union. 05:45, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * No, Government change refers to a change in the whole government not of policy therefore the overthrow of the previous government was the time of the last government change. And the current Prussian government overthrew the previous government and established a type of republic, quite revolutionary for the time most certainly, close to Napoleon (who is used as an example of revolutionary government in the rules). Kunarian TALK 06:41, July 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * Eh, that's taking the definition very far. I'd say it shouldn't count as the definition also includes Hitler. The fact with Hitler and Napoleon is that they replaced their respective governments with something almost as bad. 20:44, July 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Then tell me at least three points that define a revolutionary government. Kunarian TALK 21:21, July 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1: People discontent with old (oppressive in most cases) government.
 * 2: New government is formed after series of uprisings and notions of civil war.
 * 3: New government begins to devolve and seek to set the record straight.
 * That is how your revolutionary government is formed. Most often, it is followed by this:
 * 4: New government falls into old government style and goes on a string of wars (with 1.5 bonus).
 * Your government goes more like this:
 * 1: People decide that they're bored with their old fashioned crusty government.
 * 2: New government declared with relative lack of bloodshed.
 * 3: New government remains stable.

Well, according to Von, you only get the bonus if your fighting against one very primitive nation. Har. If your fighting against several unindustrialized nations, you still don't get the bonus even if you can outproduce them. ChaCha! Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 22:28, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

You get it if your more industrialized then the other nation - e.g. they are stage 1 industrailized and you are stage 2. If you are in a coalition then the majority of the leader nations in the coalition need to be more industrialized than the other side. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 19:41, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

yes, ok, I think I understand that part about coalitions, but that still does not answer my main question(sorry if I was not more clear): What form does the bonus take? I still dont understand what is added or how the bonus is calculated.-Lx (leave me a message) 20:24, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

10% for each stage higher. So 1 stage higher its 1.1 and two stages higher its 1.2, etc. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 20:35, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks-Lx (leave me a message) 22:44, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Von, wasn't Orissa more industrialized than you and Scraw, yet you said that it didn't matter? I can't buy that. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 17:10, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

Because Imp had two levels--red and orange. Both Von and I have orange territories and they were involved in the war, so they cancelled each other out.

15:42, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

You really never pay any attention do you Viva? As I have repeatedly told you, if you are in a coalition then the majority of the leader nations in the coalition need to be more industrialized than the other side. 1 nation out of 9 being more industrialized isn't a majority. Get this through your thick skull already before I ban you. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 14:05, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Von, please. I'm not disturbing the game. I'm not harassing other players. And I'm not disobeying any rules. Right now, the only reason you want to ban me is because I disagree with you. If you try to ban me, it'll just make you look bad. Fair warning. Now in my calmest tone. There has rarely been any case in recorded history where an industrialized nation has been defeated by multiple unindustrialized nations. Britian beat all of India by itself since it could outproduce the Indians. The United States outproduced all of Europe, and as I made clear before, produced half of the world's military supplies and equipment. One nation. One nation out of 54, counting Britian, Germany, Russia, France, and Japan. All industrialized. I rest my case. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 15:07, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

@Scraw. You forget that I was also orange, and that neither you, me nor Von had industrialized. As the rules pointed out, the colors only show who industrializes first and in what order. So they couldn't cancelled each other out since no one but Imp had industrialized. It's like saying the President-elect can start declaring war simply because he's about to become the president, even though the old President is still in charge. Just because his going to be the President doesn't make him the President. Not until he's sworn in at least. Same applies to pre-industrial nations in the game. Just because their going to industrialize doesn't mean they've industrialized. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 15:23, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Ahahaha, this is where you are wrong. You see, since you were on the attacking side, you guys got your lower industrialized levels, which was yellow for you and orange for Imp. Same story for me and Von. So in full theory, none of us had industrialized, as Orissan industrialization was still vastly in its infancy.

Proposed Tribal Vassalization Rules
I wanted to kick start a discussion as a result of the Chono-Huarpe dispute in the Map section regarding the vassalization of Tribes in the black area. I think this may have some potential as a strategy to help close up the black areas quicker (and for those of us playing somewhat isolated nations ourselves) but there should probably be some rules on how to do this rather than just haphazardly inventing new states on the map. This goes to another point, which is that just becasue a tribal "nation" was real (an area of common culture), central GOVERNMENT did not exist among these groups and they first had to be united into a STATE (which we would show as gray areas). It's entirely possible for a colonial power to set up a local puppet chief and centralize his authority, so here's a proposal for how I think it could work.

''1. In order to vassalize a tribe, you must first  use your influence to centralize their government. This takes five years at the cost of half a turn per year, the tribe MUST border either your nation or your colonies (They could also be on the borders of a vassal, but the new state will be a vassal of the vassal not the main nation). If the tribe is placed on the borders of another nation, that other nation has the right to immediately begin influencing the tribe at no cost to them.''

2. At the end of five years, the new state will be placed on the map in a PRE-SPECIFIED location in gray and will be exactly 5,000 sq km in size.

''3. It will take another five years to fully vassalize this new nation, other players are free to interact with this new nation, and it is NOT controlled by the player that created it. (It also becomes a playable nation on the off chance that a new player signs up in the five year gap.)''

''4. Once vassalized, this new nation is classified not as a full vassal but as a "Tribal Vassal." Tribal vassals may expand at a constant rate of 2,000 sq km per year - to a MAXIMUM SIZE of 20,000 sq km.''

5. Tribal vassals may never be merged with colonies, vassals, or your main nation for the duration of the game - and they must become fully independent upon decolonization.

This is a start - but I think it may help us fill in the black areas and populate the map for later in the game. I think it also provides significant barriers against the idea of "vassal dumping" (inventing a large nation right next to another player in order to halt their expansion).

Thoughts?

Commandante Lemming (talk) 16:27, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

I think the tribes should be able to annexed into a colony or nation, I mean this was done very often with the USA, Brazil and Australia to name a few. We also need to make sure that the tribe actually exists and is in the location specified. Maybe we do a new labeled map with the black areas divided into the tribal regions? Or perhaps we allow nations to expand at a greater rate if they are invading a "non existant on the map" tribal nation by penalizing them with a war penalty of -1 in the algorithm? <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 19:54, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

That might work, although I think It would be really hard to make a labelled boundary map with a set list of tribes. For instance, in my part of South American, the "Chono culture" was pretty widespread and there could easily be multiple Chono states. On the other hand, the Selk'nam culture could be lumped in with the wider "Fuegian" distinction along with the Alacaluf, Yaghan, and Huash cultures (despite cultural differences)...OR it could have been subdivided into smaller independent units such as the Ona (who shared Selk'nam culture and language but were not really united with the other groups that shared Selk'nam culture - I ended up using the whole Selk'nam culture but it's debatable).

Personally I like the idea of leaving the black area undefined and letting players place tribal nations becasue it enhances the creativity and randomness of the game (which is why we are all playing a Wiki-based game rather than any number of pre-packaged geopolitical strategy games that we could buy). I wouldn't have been able to invent the Great Haruwin without the randomness, becasue the area likely would have been lumped into a "Mapuche" or "Chono" region.

As for the absorbtion thing I suggested it as a way of ensuring this isn't used as a backhanded way to expand colonies faster than they should expand. I was thinking that if you set up a puppet regime it's hard to fully absorb it, like the princely states in India, or the fact that Lesotho is still an enclave in South Africa becasue the British made it a protectorate rather than absorbing it. That and I think it would make things really interesting later.

Just my two cents though.

Commandante Lemming (talk) 20:15, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

They are still expanding faster than they should but its not their colonies but their puppets. Which is worse because puppets are more useful in the war algorithm than colonies. Plus like you say the debates on where these tribes live is difficult. No I think we should keep it how it is, with mods deciding when a tribe rises up to become a nation. So if players want to mention the tribes they have conquered, they can mention these tribes in their posts. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 09:55, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Could I, say, go to a large-scale war to unite the Chono, although I am not the Chono, thereby making them my vassal? Reximus55 (talk)

Well no because you are not the Chono and they lack a nation state too. You could do your expansion as normal and mention in your posts how your expansion is part of your mission to unite the Chono. But why would the British care that a native populace is now united? They just want their resources and to profit from them. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 17:04, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Well it would be convoluted but not unprecedented to try to prop up a local regime rather than outright colonoization. There aren't a lot of examples of this in Latin American because in real life that was early colonization by the Spanish and they just ran roughshod. However, we're in the 1700s her and talking about Enlightenment-age Welshmen. The British empire in particular, and especially in this historical period, did a LOT of propping up locals and moaking them pseudo-protectorates, both to soothe their own consciences and to keep and established authority with local credibility in place. They did this to great effect in India and later in Southern Africa. It would not be entirely out of character for PMII Wales to attempt something like that in a version of history where South America is still largely unsettled frontier (wheras in the real world I was one of the earliest places colonized) Commandante Lemming (talk) 17:13, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Nation Time
The rules say that colonies can start proclaiming independence as of 1776.we are in 1766 already, so, on advance, how is it going to be?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 19:40, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking of having Scraw's USA-Canada colony declaring indepedence as a sort of psuedo-USA type nation. But I've decided to wait a bit with that. Same situation with the Italian USA colonies too. If one of the players want to do it of their own accord, that'd be great too. If any more large wars happen then I'll use the higher taxes on colonies thanks to the wars as reason for the rebellion. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 19:20, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

You know, I dont see that much of logic about 1776. Other than the "oooh its america". I think that we could have colonies split now, since rebellions have occured before 1776, just not succesfully(mostly slaves). I believe that since it is past 1750, it is reasonable for colonies to succeed in becoming independant...since we already established that just because it happened one date in OTL, does not mean it cant happen earlier in ATL in terms of technology, I dont see why we can't have succesful colonial revolitions before OTL's first succesful colonial revolution.-Lx (leave me a message) 19:32, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

Like I say its probably the next nation with a big colony to be dragged into a big war which mean they have to tax their colonists more heavily. This new Bavarian revolution could start one for example. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 20:01, July 19, 2013 (UTC)

 * I am going to place the first declaration of independence way back in 1745 with the war of Bruneian independence. Now, this isn't exactly the same, but it works very similar to a colonial independence. The one thing I would suggest/advise it this: Independent nations cannot be vassalized by any other nation. This happened with Brunei (which was ok at the time, due to strong history), but in most cases it would be like France vassalizing the USA. Doesnt make much sense, does it? Similarly, I think that after 2 wars with the nation that declared independence, the Mother Nation must relinquish control over their nation. (ie, War of 1812). Also, no Commonwealths until the first World War that we have in the 1900s. Reximus55 (talk) 18:57, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

I was pretty much planning some sort of Dominion system around this time, but Strellok kind of put that on hold. However, this was after I had some sort of unsuccessful rebellion, forcing the government to grant more autonomy. Someone has to be Britain, eh? I'm still searching for a better name, as I don't want to us "dominion" all over again. Also, we need not necessarily have World Wars in the same sense as OTL. After all, we have pretty much already have had two or three wars that have engulfed most of the world.

Selk'nam/Wales Royal Marriage
I posted this on the main page but I wanted to throw it in here so it doesn't fall off the radar - and I want to write on it this year. I'm not going to be a huge fly in the ointment, but I do think that at this point it would frankly be ASB to disallow this marriage based on the values of this timeline. Also, seeing as we're in a less racist timeline to begin with AND we're deep into the Enlightenment, a racial enlightenment at the royal level would be a perfectly natural outgrowth (that and this sort of thing is something I've been very carefully bulding for my whole game).

Wales and the Selk'nam have a deep bond. For one thing, the Selk'nam culture is deeply influenced by the Welsh culture. I'm note sure about language, but I know at least the leaders of the Selk'nam can speak Welsh. (Note to Commandante - Can you post about more Welsh cultural immersion, BTW?) We are huge trading partners, and are really close allies. Also, at least for Praxedes, I am under the opinion that she is not fully Selk'nam, but already part Welsh. Cornelius' great-granddaughter means that there are 8 great-grandparents of Praxedes. As part of the mixing of royal families, which happens regularly in Christian nations, I'd bet 4/8 of her great-grandparents were white, with 3/8 of them being Welsh. This would hardly impact the blood-line, as the child (which is the main concern of most political unions) would be 1/4 Selk'nam at most, while still being predominantly white. Reximus55 (talk) 05:27, July 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * Original protest: " If you disallow this marriage you are throwing out the last century worth of history in this timeline. Consider the following: We exist in a world where India is an industrial power. The Mayan Empire still exists. The Japanese AND Chinese, along with the Indians, are colonial powers. The Atlantic slave trade does not exist. The Spanish colonial empire (which developed a lot of ideas about Native Americans) never existed becasue the Portuguese conquered Spain. The Selk'nam's agressive Westernization has seen them widely embraced by Europe as a Christian nation on par with the rest of Christendom (that being the key to this marriage), and have even been allowed to build monestaries on European soil.  On top of that, Magedeburg has already had a ruler who was half Australian Aboriginal, and the Welsh king lives in a palace built by a Selk'nam architect who was considered the greatest European artisan of his generation.  Thanks to our "butterfly effect", this timeline is SIGNIFICANTLY less racist than OTL (which is not unrealistic based on events). Numerous events have frankly prohibited racism from developing to half the extent it has in the real world, and we CANNOT hold this timeline to OTL cultural moorings that were never allowed to develop in this world. Hence, TO DISALLOW THIS MARRIAGE WOULD BE ASB and in total conflict with history."
 * Commandante Lemming (talk) 03:30, July 22, 2013 (UTC)



I've prepared a pedigree for Praxedes - posted below. Great Chief connections are highlighted in red (She is a direct descendent of David and Cornelius, as well as a great niece of Pius. She has three non-Selk'nam great-grandparents (two Welsh, one Japanese). Her great-grandfather was the Deputy Viceroy of De Mor Tir, whose daughter married the Selk'nam ambassador. So, she is 5/8 Selk'nam, 2/8 Welsh, 1/8 Japanese. Also most Christian Selk'nam aristocracy are proficient in Welsh and Wales has been our primary Europen cultural influence (we are not Welsh immersed, as our goal is to be an independent Christian nation, but the influence is most definitely there, and I have some plans on that front). It is also worth noting that the Selk'nam have also had a cultural effect on Wales - there are a lot of Selk'nam citizens of De Mor Tir as a result of the aborted Selk'nam settlement there - and most Welsh acrchitecture has Selk'nam influences thanks to Rafael.

Erm the Federation and Caliphate won't be leaders in this war, but the Dimurats, Qoyunlu, Levant and Baghdad will be. Also I recommend using the table system that we used in the Great Arab-Ethiopian war of the 1720s as you have done a lot of this coalition algorithm wrong (e.g. motive, the bonuses, etc.).

Also the Dimurats want Germany's Persian colony, The Levant wants the Adana territories, and Baghdad & Qoyunlu will split up Georgia, Armenia and co. between themselves. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 13:52, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

I have editted a few important things. I also completely reject the idea that your government voted to secede to GGU after it had been removed. Therefore, you can't just "elevate" your vassals to states right before a war - the same turn in fact. I have editted:
 * Expansion, rules say, " Expansion: -1 for every turn used for non-colonial expansion in the past 15 years" France, Saxony, and Bavaria did not use up a turn in doing so.
 * Nation Age - Von has said it on Andr3w's talk page. As long as the form of government doesn't change, the nation age doesn't change. This includes revolutionary gov'ts.

I didn't elevate them. Since I was "kicked out" (or seceded, whatever, something happened and I was out of the Union), I restored everything that I had before I joined the Union in 1750. France, Saxony, Bavaria, and the Netherlands all expanded the year we defeated Strellok. I actually lost land. 19:21, July 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually no, Cleves became Netherlands vassal before the war, with a Mond event. And after the defeat of Strellok, I did not win territory, Saxony won my territory but in our subsequent negotiations after the war they gave me part of Munster (that time before was in my power) So not really got expansion penalty. --Quashi (talk) 20:03, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Read the books! That's what I'm doing because I can't stand the suspense...then again...I'll just get more hooked on the suspense...anyway, I decided to start from book one...I must say it gives you much more lore and get to know the characters better...don't start from midway into three, you'll just get confused because they merged/deleted certain characters and scenes and changed things for effect/simplicity. Anyway, back to the point: Do you guys ever give me any breaks? its the second time i go pn vacation without my laptop and the second time im dragged into a war unpreparred because of it...arrgh! I never gave scraw permission to declare war for me or kill my country...mainly because I don't feel ready but anyway, it was the plausible thing to do seeing as Germany was attacked by Barvaria, putting the ally I support on the defensive, not to mention the Duma would have declared the letters fakes and the fact that kaiser=tsar, so fine. And also, Minsk and suur-Suomi are not vassals but in PU, entitling them to +3, Estonia/Eesti is part of Suur Suomi, and most importantly: didn't we agree during the first caliphate war around 1490 that: one player, one leader? Oh, and could you guys not tear Russia appart, or take territory, seeing as I am not able to really manage what happens(Lx from his iPhone thankful for bloody 3G connection)


 * Andrew has promised me that he will not allow anyone to take land from you, as I dragged you into the war. 20:17, July 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's not how the Rules work. All leaders usually lose land. ~ imp
 * I agree, if you're a leader you run the risk of losing land, so Russia and Wales would have to fall into a support role or face the chance of land loss. And Andrew cannot make a guarantee for everyone. Especially when there are multiple leaders on both sides. Kunarian TALK 12:35, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

Hey guys. I am much in the same boat as Lx, since I am going on a vacation for a week now, and then the term begins right after that. As such, I won't be able to post. If I can get a term wherein I won't have any of my land annexed, then I would join the war. (Since I won't be able to control what goes in either way, I think this will be fair enough.) I really feel like I ought to support Brandenburg, since they were unjustly attacked (even if they were conspirators). Therefore, I have opted to send aid but, as I said, if none of my land will be annexed if we lose (ie, Germany makes that promise, and says it was his bad at the end of the war, and his allies were left out of the loop, let them be and the Bavarian side accepts this offer) I will declare war. If not, I can sadly only offer military aid. Apologies: I am sorry to Andr3w777 for further convincing him to join this conflict and Scraw for telling him I will declare war, when I may not be able to assist him (due to the above). If Germany does win, all I can ask for is the Dutch colonies Argentium and Chile (also if the Dutch want an early out) and/or Nuovo Milano and Adal (and if the Ethiopians want an early out.) Thanks for listening, and as I'll be gone, Quashi has agreed to post for me, but Scraw can add that any of my nations declare war if he can promise I won't lost land. <span style="border:3px solid blue; "> <font color="#FF0000" face="Sans-Serif" title="Reximus">Reximus   <font color="#FF0000" face="Sans-Serif" title="Talk">Maximus  09:55, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

 * As a clarification, as I am only one of several leaders. I express my wish Russia and Maya be limited in harm. I gave Scraw the assurance of him retaining Neu Berlin, as that would become his fall-back nation, in exchange if I were to lose, I would retain my Australis colony. I made that commitment and as far as Neu Berlin is concerned, I will stick with it. Russia, Maya, I request be unharmed but cannot make guarantee for such.

 * I am back at a computer for about 1 hour...then i will have radio silence for a week. I would just like to say that I would apreciate that people would not just declare a free for all in Russia...especialy because of size. 1% of russia may be bigger than many nations...I would ask that if territory is taken it be taken from my buffer states(say 20% war loss, territory is from 20% buffers' territory, not from russia propper). I ask no territory be taken because 1. i was dragged into this war and 2. I want to at least be able to bargain for the land lost and not have it be a free-for-all for russia's juicy parts(since, as mentioned before, I will be away from any internets for 1 week. Anyway...since this war has devolved into just a confusing ball of crap, why not just have a pure stalemate with status quo ante bellum, and then use this as a excuse to tax the hell out of colonists than use that as an excuse to have them scream "INDEPENDANCE!"...I'm mainly saying this bcause what, htis war has dragged on for years now? and no clear winner/algorithm non-completed? everyone already took a  -4 hit for war years, lets just leave it at that, shall we? becasue I dont know how much longer it will take for the war algorithm, and I realy dont want to work for many years to wear this off!-Lx (leave me a message) 16:38, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

 * Hey there's no need for that language, I haven't said anything like that to you, and also I have hardly done anything but encourage people to fill in their places in the table and point out that you are specifically trying to force people to leave our side. And Andrew seems to just be thinking negatively, I don't know what you've said to him but considering how much you are playing the algorithm by creating all these 'leaders' and how many people you've told you're going to win I feel that you are taking this a tad too seriously.

Von's proposed peace treaty
Okay seems people are tired of war, so I purpose a peace treaty with a few territorial exchanges which would have likely happened. These are just ideas for what I think would have happened in a real war. Places like Saxon Norway or Mayan Eastern Panama are near impossible to defend, as would Austria and Aquitaine as they are surrounded. Brandenburg's gains in Canada & Czechslovakia are then to make up for their loses in the other places. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 20:08, July 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Saxony loose Saxon Norway to Brandenburg Norway
 * Brandenburg/Luxembourg loses Aquitaine to France
 * France loses their Canadian colony to Brandenburg's colony
 * Mayans lose that thin strip of Panama to France's colony
 * Austria is divided between Italy and Bavaria
 * Bavaria looses northern Czechoslovakia to Brandenburg and Poland

I'd like to contest the cession of Panama, considering almost all of my available military is located in a much closer proximity, as well as the fact that France had other areas to protect. CourageousLife (talk) 21:04, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

I will accept the peace, however as a point of order I'd like to clarify, Czechoslovakia is connected to Bohemia, I will allow the Czechs to go to Brandenburg but not Bohemia as my Royal family if from there. On the map Collie has them as the same, but they are not, I have attempted to correct this in the past but it was ignored. I will accept the treaty on the grounds that Bohemia remain in the Empire.(Von or another mod will be the ONLY people replying to this post.)Trust Me, I'm The Doctor (talk) 23:23, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

If Scraw agrees with it i'll relinquish my territories in Labrador if i gain aquitaine, and Like i said to Scraw, eversince the maya betrayal of 1615 the French colony of Nouvelle bourgogne and Brazilea have been under its own military regime, an entire army made up of the french creole population, hence my recovery of the colony is highly likely.

I'd like to avoid exchange with Bavaria in the Austrian region. Austria is very important to me. However I am willing to give the Tyrol area owned by me to Italy. I cannot give all of Aquitane; I'd like to keep the coastal area.

03:11, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

I suppose Saxon Norway (which is, as Von says, practically undefensible) is a fair price to pay. I kept it for just such a bargaining situation. As it is my only real port (not in a colony) its loss will not doubt cause some unrest in the population, which will add plausibility to the post-war scene. Callumthered (talk) 09:44, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

These are just suggestions, I'm going for the areas which are difficult for a nation to defend like Saxon Norway which would swap hands. So Scraw I think keeping the coastal area in Aquitane is silly, as its difficult to defend and Aquitane is all but destroyed if you give the rest of it away. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 13:22, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

 * They inputted no infrastructure scores into the tables so they must have been updating their military or economy instead (or at war or idle). Remember the military, economic, infrastructure, idle and war leader years add up to 15 as you can only do 1 of these actions per year.

I can understand Dean destroying his nation, that can be allowed.

Freaking Crazy War
So, as some of you might know (or not, let's see who was paying attention), I was not here when the war started, and Scraw was supposed to post for me durring the time I was gone. However, he did not post for me, except to make my nation enter the war on Brandenburg's side. I would like to propose one of two options for my nation so that I can get back on track.

Option 1: Retcon my nation out of the war, since it wasn't my decision in the first place.

Option 2: Allow me to create an event within my nation to take it out of the war and restore it to status quo ante bellum.

Again, this wansn't my fault, and I want a chance to rectify the situation. Thank you.

The Levantine Kingdom and Empire of Qoyunlu have no qural with the Mayans and will accept a peace treaty (we want some war reperations though).

(highlighting this so people take notice:) '''Also I'd like to point out that I've realised that whoever loses the war, who was involved in heavy fighting (this means Bavaria, Saxony, Brandenburg, Prussia, etc.), will have to deal with the fury of their own people afterwards. And it's even worse if a status quo is signed as then all nations involved in heavy fighting will face popular revolt and chaos. This is clearly a war that will shape the Europe and world to come, no matter who wins or loses. The following points only apply to these deep in the fighting nations. The losers will face anger from the common folk, and their perceived weakness will lead to colonial revolts and declarations of independence, it is likely that their nation will be truly torn apart from within rather than from without (or at least a lot of blood will be spilled to keep the current order). The winners will face support and happiness from it's common folk, and their perceived strength will help bind their empire together for years to come, helping them last like the OTL great Britain into the modern era, they shall enter a golden age once the shattered windows are remade and the men return to the fields. Both sides will face a swell of nationalisms. As peoples on the losing sides look to other peoples for blame and their hatred and fury brings the fires of nation state and independent pride into their hearts, their nationalisms will be more localised and not across the entirety of their nations. Those on the victors side will speak of the 'great deeds' of their nation and will speak with pride of their nation the strong, the powerful and the unconquered, their pride and joy will bring the fire of a greater nationalism into their hearts, their nationalisms will be more across the entirety of their nations rather than local. So much hinges on this war, so so much. If one side wins then the face of Europe will change and the rise of new empires will occur, if no sides win then Europe may fall into chaos and those far from the fighting will become the leaders of the world. This is a speech and a point, I think it is great to be involved in this turning point in time and I feel that for years to come people will look back on this vital point that changed the course of history. Kunarian TALK''' 23:42, July 29, 2013 (UTC)

This is why I'd like a status quo. It'll open the floodgates for change and let us try new things. Hell, we could advance the Revolution of 1848 to 1798 if we wanted. We should not fear change. It can be negative and positive. We should embrace change. Change is inevitable.

00:12, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

I officially declare Status Quo Antebellum with the nation of Brandenburg. There will be some that argue, but ultimately I am doing what I believe is best, this war started out bad, on both sides, and has only snowballed from there. Bavaria officially withdraws all troops pending Brandenburg doing the same. If there are nations that object, you may continue to fight, but I will not support you. Enough damage has been done, enough German blood has been spilled. All Germans are brothers. We will attempt to live in peace, and will only attack if provoked. Good Day.Trust Me, I'm The Doctor (talk) 00:43, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * May I say you have only delayed the inevitable now, I know not what Scraw said to you but it is sad you would fall like this. I hope you remember to deal with the aftermath of this properly rather than pretend everything is roses and daisies. You may say German, but your Bavarians say Bavarian and they probably aren't very happy at all losing so many comrades, brothers, fathers and sons and for their government to declare them worthless, not even worth a small concession of land. You cannot buy back people's blood, I should hope you will create chaos in your nation with grace rather than wear blinkers and descend into the ASB of metagaming and pretend everything is fine. At least now my Prussians will know who to blame for the loss of their kin. Kunarian TALK 00:59, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * This is stupid. It is a damned if I do you damned if i don't. If I win, it is so narrow it won't matter. Same if he wins. NOTHING CHANGES. I attacked under the premise of him harming me or Saxony, which I found out through other sources, wasn't going to happen for now, it would evetually, but not now. Bavaria is Germany, Saxony, Brandenburg and Prussia is Germany. We are all German. We speak German, have the same past and religion. Of course things will not be rosey. But what you fail to realise is most of my nation didn't want to attack, again I was gouded into an attack, and was misinformed by Brandenburg's true intentions to Bavaria. That being said. I don't trust him. I am only withdrawing because in the end it changes little in Europe. Trust Me, I'm The Doctor (talk) 01:10, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * This is not stupid. And metagaming is not the way to solve it. And we are not all German, Prussia soon will be throwing off the shackles you metagamingly seem so keen to attach to Bavaria. And Prussians do not speak German, especially considering the differences from OTL and we do not have the same past at all. And let me repeat though, it doesn't matter what you do with Scraw metagaming wise, you need to deal with the fact that you IC roused Bavarian nationalism to an all time high, broke a massively important alliance and fought a bloody war with Brandenburg and in the end declared a status quo. People are not going to be happy, at all. Do you think Bavarians who enjoyed relative stability would want to support a government that took it away and killed their brothers, fathers and sons in a war they ended for nothing? If anything I'd say you'd face a rebellion via the armed forces, and not one you could throw off either. But hey, don't worry because it is your nation and I doubt you will be stopped from being ASB. I think more alarmingly than anything it reveals that you are willing to end a war and betray allies IC because of metagaming. It ruins the game really. Kunarian TALK 01:24, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * IC: Brandenburg accepts the peace with Bavaria on all fronts and withdraws troops from Bohemia and northern Bohemia. These forces are redirected to fight in Austria and Prussia.
 * OOC: I agree with Andrew, I only wish that we could all establish a peace in our time.
 * 01:16, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * IC:that's funny, because as soon as peace is declared between you and Bavaria I'm gone too so those troops can go elsewhere. If one leader can get off scot free, so can I. Rules are being broken by others so shall I.

 * @Scan: France, The Netherlands, Saxony, Bavaria, Prussia, have all agreed to it. I do not think it fair for me to still fight if Italia still wants to. I declared war, Scraw and I both agreed to antebellum, most of my allies agree. So as far as I can see ,it should still be allowed. Just because Italia or The Levant don't want to stop, shouldn't hinder the rest of us, if you want that land, form a seperate war. But I am done with this war. It has stressed me out, and has damaged Europe.Trust Me, I'm The Doctor (talk) 02:10, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

OK, if anyone wants to make peace in exchange for some small areas of land or money, be aware that these things are negotiable. I have already made peace with two of Von's nations, so if there are any other takers, drop a line on my talk page, cause some fronts of the war are really going nowhere.

Italia and Greece are much closer culturally ATL. The Southern Slavs (Yugoslavia) is separate from the Northern and Eastern Slavic groups. Romania and Hungaria have their own groups. Papua has had their replaced by Italian and Japanese (their former culture involved cannibalism) same with the Pacific Islands. Scandinator (talk) 06:55, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

The northern Swahili state is thoroughly Ethiopian after several decades of cultural intergration. The northern Phillipine islands are Ethiopian as well (as Scraw has not wiped out all of the Ethiopians that inhabited the islands for half a century), while those in the south are Indian and Hindu. However, I must say this is a very nice map. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 12:59, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

The Qoyunlu Turks are a different culture to the Arabians, and the Arabians have different cultures within themselves (e.g. Omani, Yemeni, Bedouin) and Baghdad is almost a unified culture too.

The Tatar State is Nor Slavic, it is Tatar, if you look at the religion map, its the muslim state that is in Russia's colour on the regular map. the Tatar State is tatar, not slavic. Also, I guess we could put the northern part of the FDC(Federated Duchy of the Caucasus) as Circaucasian and the south as Transcaucasian...and Baku a mix of both. -Lx (leave me a message) 06:34, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

I wasn't exactly around for much of AP's Scandinavia, but I have a good feeling that he developed them with a culture unique to Scandinavia. Again, just a guess, but I think it'd have its own culture after for long as he played as them. Also, Germany hasn't exactly done a ton to integrate them into their mainstream culture. I'd also argue that Germany has about 2 cultures - Northern and Southern. Even in OTL Germany, this exists (Bavaria/Austria and Prussia). <span style="border:3px solid blue; "> <font color="#FF0000" face="Sans-Serif" title="Reximus">Reximus   <font color="#FF0000" face="Sans-Serif" title="Talk">Maximus  06:44, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Well if we're going to get really technical there's a Selk'nam cultural dot on the South end of East Falkland island as a result of my agreement to sell the place to Wales.

I'm just giving military aid.

22:45, August 6, 2013 (UTC) I can not say I'm surprised, because even though you meant you wanted peace and a treaty of 150 years I imagined something like this, but did not expect it right after this war. Missing fix many things in the altgo, you miss my vassals, and also will Normandy be leading and belive Iceland. I think that Mali can also enter the war. I'll wait to see if anyone else assists me with this stab. --Quashi (talk) 04:47, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Just completed the algorithm for Normandy. It's probably all messed up or whatever, but if anyone wants to polish it that would be great. Cookiedamage (talk) 05:41, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Reversed the Norman algo, since he agreed to drop the war. ~Rex 06:37, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

I added Mali & Warsangali as leaders, and the Muslim bloc nations who are sending military aid to help the Dutch.

I removed Norway, Sweden & Denmark as they're NPCs now since they revolted away so no one controls them.

Also note that the Dutch chance score will be done once Quashi responds in game to the war, the time of that edit will be the one used for the chance score. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 12:17, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

I've added Ethiopia and Germany into the algorithim, as well as given them the industrial bonus as they possess larger industrial bases (and the manpower to fuel them) than the Netherlands and Arabia combined. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 13:44, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Arabia isn't fighting in this war, only sending aid if you bothered to actually read for once. You don't get the industrialization bonus because you are not more industrialized (we are all either yellow or green nations so we have the same amount of industrialization) and you've added those nations almost completely wrong. Also where did Scraw actually say he was fighting in this war? I'll fix this tomorrow. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 16:11, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

There are more nations on the opposing side, with larger populations and factories. I'm very incline to believe that a nation with 30 million people is quite capable of outproducing an equally industrialized nation of one million people. If you bothered to read, then you would have seen this: "Ooh, count on military aid from me, if I can get Luxembourg and Oldeburg!" If you read anytihng in your life, you'd know that if you send military aid, that counts as providing supplies, for which you are added to the algorithim for. Its in the rules - S for supplies (+2). Your providing supplies, thus your in the war. Any politician, soldiers, or two-year old could tell you that. As for the other bit in the rules section: "Military aid is defined as sending some troops to join another nation's forces, not declaring full-on war on an enemy nation someone else is fighting. This would result in a coalition algorithm," its too ambigious, and doesn't explain if that counts in the algorithim or if it is actually part of a coalition. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 17:27, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually, that has to be changed. I am sorry Viva, but only nations that are truely attacking the opposition are counted for other factors such as military development. (M) means that you are sending military aid, and your nation will not lose any land. [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:46, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Well, we just need Scand/Collie's ok on this, and it'll take effect. Thanks, ~Rex

I know I'm not either of those two, but I'm a mod, so I'm not out of my jurisdiction when I say that the algorithm has now been finalized and is official. Its consequences may now be put into effect in the game. CrimsonAssassin- "I have special eyes" 01:21, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry about not remembering you. I just assumed that most of the time, Von or Collie look over algorithims. ~Rex

'''Ok, Quashi. CrimsonAssasain approved/canonized the algorithim. That algorithim, which you are so intent upon changing, was right the way it was. You cannot change it. It was finalized! So, I will return the algorithim to the way it should be. Please do not change it again, or I will have you reported for Vandalism. ~Rex'''

'''The altgo is wrong, you put numbers are not accurate, plus a bonus that is not determined, and thus can not close the altgo.

Crim does not have all the data, although a mod, I want to correct the altgo with complete data.'''

Yeah, sorry, didn't see the bonus. The industrialization bonus has to go. I'm not as good with these algorithms as Von and Collie are. I'm more of a 'keep order' mod. CrimsonAssassin- "I have special eyes" 15:08, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

New Borders
Ok, so here is how the breakdown will go after the War of Brythonic Retribution. Firstly, I have added a map showing only the colors of all leaders, and their subordinates (Netherlands, Warsangali, Brython, Ethiopia, Mahajayra, and Germany).

Here is the division of lands:

Note: Italics indicate possibility of negotiations.
 * To Brython
 * Chile
 * Argentium
 * Nuovo Milano (Horn of Africa)
 * Netherlands
 * Cleves
 * Liege
 * Oldeburg
 * To Ethiopia:
 * Warsangali
 * Kongo
 * Warqama
 * Half of Indonesia
 * Dutch Persia
 * To Germany:
 * Vinland
 * Texas Colony
 * New Zeeland (Puerto Rico)
 * Luxembourg
 * To Orissa:
 * Dutch land in India
 * Half of Indonesia

Nuovo Milano was given to Ethiopia in 1720 by Italia. I thought you were talking about another state, the one below it (the area Mogadishu is located is another one of Ethiopia's vassals by the way). Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:35, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

I would like Dutch Persia, as I have had a long time standing in the region and only lost that footing thanks to Arabia in that last war. I am willing to sacrifice it for Aceh and/or Padang. I also demand Luxembourg, as it was only just taken from me.

00:45, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

You simply sent military aid... I was advised by multiple people to not give you anything. Furthermore, isn't it kind of obvious that the mods do not want you to have Luxembourg? Luxembourg, for even another reason, will be an island in Europe which you cannot access, by boat or by land without traveling through another nation. ~Rex

WTF After all that discussion with Viva? If I don't get anything, you may remove all my territories from the algorithm. I don't care what the mods think about Luxembourg, I've had it since the beginning of the game and I want that shit back one way or another.

02:16, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

But I thought Scraw was in the war the whole time? How do you think we won? And countless nations controlled enclaves throughout history. Look at any map from the 1500-1800s, Germany of all places really, and you'll see what I mean. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 04:54, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

We have come to an agreement. And Quashi has been (illegally) screwing with our Algorithim. ~Rex

Erm hello? I am in this algorithim, so I would like the things promised to me. Such as the colonies of the Dutch in Amazonia. Plus, I would like the Kongo, Viva - please? Scraw getting Dutch Persia - fine with me if my wishes are respected. :L  Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:45, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

I'd be happy to part with Kongo, as for Dutch Persia, I suppose I can give up another holding. And on Warsangali,  Nuovo Milano was given to me by Scan 60+ years ago. Exchanging one vassal I control for another vassal I used to control defeats the purpose of me trying to get it. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 14:05, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

The altgorim is wrong, you will win, but at least be legal Quashi (talk) 14:24, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Not really, I actually had some disagreements. Plus, I also said that there might be other mods that might add. Anyway I don't have much experience on algorithms as I really haven't used them. -Kogasa  2013 August 08, 19:54 (CET)

I see you're completely ingoring the fact the algorithm is wrong and pixel counts and just doing this. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:08, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I wasn't around for that part Kosaga. In any case, I cede any gains to Rex then. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:11, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Whoever.
should either A: stop making mod events or B: get his damn facts straight. I tolerated the ASB weather and the BS revolts in India, but stripping me of my motherland is really pushing it. Scandinavia became Germanicized and Germany became Scandinavified. I'm the Germanic Reich for a reason.

22:50, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

I currently agree, the mod events leading up to a French style revolution, can't reall happen, all our nations have democratized at least marginally, and in Bavaria's case, the monarchy is now little more than a figure head, a national symbol. Despite the fact that Scraw was my enemy, Denmark and the other regions have been in his hands for centuries, they are German.Trust Me, I'm The Doctor (talk) 22:53, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

I do belive that it was Scan, not Yank, who created that mod event. Check the history at 17:52 CourageousLife (talk) 23:46, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Regardless, the mod in question, I request kindly reviews their position, Europe needs to rebuild, not be torn apart again.Trust Me, I'm The Doctor (talk) 23:50, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

Apologies. Regardless, these events are unhelpful for both Scan and Yank, as they are within the target ranges.

23:57, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

I don't mind these events, my issue is when they occur so frequently and when they fail to affect the countries of mods who created them. CourageousLife (talk) 01:18, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

That and mod events tend to be Eurocentric. It's not exactly like I want to be hit with a freak disster but I'm a little surprised that I haven't had to deal with a single mod event since the beginning of the game Commandante Lemming (talk) 01:21, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Well, you can't exactly say that. Remember when the bulk of the mod events targetted the Maya, and the other batch that targetted the Caliphate? Its just Europe's turn now. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 04:26, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I know there was one that created a revolt, and that was a result of Mayan overexpansion. The only other ones I recall were some natural disasters that I was assured were not specifically targeting the Mayans. The ones about the Caliphate, I feel that was more of the mods breaking up a monopoly, plus the Caliphate players had a plan previously to break it up anyway. This is . . . different. CourageousLife (talk) 04:32, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I wasn't around for those, but you're right. Just a bit odd since I've been playing for 100 years. But no complaints. Commandante Lemming (talk) 14:43, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

To me it makes sense, the Scandivians ruled themselves for centuries before you came along Scraw. They are under foreign rule, and German is still not as popular as their native languages would be. Your mere 200 years means nothing. If it did, then colonial empires would never break up which they know they did in OTL. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 10:55, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Same applies for Italy in the Balkans and in Turkey.


 * 18:58, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well duhhhh. They'll be rebelling as well in the future. But Italia didn't just loose a major war unlike Brandenburg so they have the chance to rebel away. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:06, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Also in regards to these mod events... The weather is not ASB, take a look at the effects of the OTL Laki eruption... It cooled the European climates for many years and ignited the French revolution. In addition may of the recent mod events have targetted yours truly and I myself have thrown in several at myself in the past (2 plagues, 2 earthquakes and three revolts). Its unfair to accuse me of unfair targetting since I've done more damage to my own nation than to others and since I've had three revolts in the last several turns. Scandinator (talk) 15:25, August 7, 2013 (UTC) I honestly have no problem with the weather, but stealing Scandinavia from me is pretty much dropping me to the crap level. Not to mention that Scandinavia isn't even very inudstrialized; most of it is light green and yellow, and on top of that they are out numbered. Also the fact that Scandinavia actually just gained territory by fighting in this latest war.
 * I thought Yank did most of the mod events. CourageousLife (talk) 15:34, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

18:47, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Also Germany and Scandinavia are far more interconnected than Italy and Turkey, since Germany and Scandinavia had the same religion even before the war and are part of the same ethnic group. Italy has owned Turkey and Greece for less time than I have had Scandinavia. Not to mention that Italic (formerly Catholic) Italy has no relation to the Orthodox majority Slavic countries (Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, Greece) or the Muslim territories in Turkey, which also have an Orthodox population. If Scan can deem those revolts in his territories unsuccessful, I would like to reserve the right to do the same within my borders. Scan runs vassals, subordinate states in the Balkans, I have a nation, with Scandinavia on an equal level of territory on the mainland.

18:58, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

I don't even know why we need a French Revolution; we already had Strellok.

19:08, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have to agree. We cannot have a reverse French Revolution, doesn't make sense. Sure, later on when you want 1848, but not now. [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 21:10, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

True. In fact, Pan-Germanism is a strong factor in Germany maintaining control over the region. Germanic identity would play a strong role in Scraw being able to keep Scandinavia. Britain and India were two seperate cultures, yet Indians still admired the British for the culture and beliefs, and saw their industrial might as a something to strive for at home. Germany is much closer to Scandinavia and with a very similar culture and background. Scandinavians may not entirely like being ruled by the Germans, but they certainly wouldn't hate them for it. And 200 years means a lot. Many former colonies stil suck up to their old rulers (Mali and France), and idolize them for old times. Germany also has the manpower to dominate Scandinavia by force if Scraw needs to, but it won't come to the point where he needs to use force. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:22, August 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yet there is still a huge amount of resentment in India about the Brits ruling over them. [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:06, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh absolutely. Though I do remember reading about numerous Indian politicians showing respect for the British for their history and prosperity. I'm not sure which ones, but I'm sure you'd be able to name them all (not that many from my memory). Flag of the Hurian Federation.png Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:04, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * And Pan Germanism matters to the Norwegians, Danes and Swedes because? Last time I checked they weren't German. And yes on the whole they will resent the fact that they are ruled by Germans rather than themselves after hundreds of years of self-rule. And 200 years matters little, for example Ireland rebelled away from England, the various lands which the Russian empire & USSR used to rule over rebelled away, and all of the other colonies in Africa and the Americas rebelled away too. The American revolution is probably the best example of this, British colonists rebelled away from their home country even though they had the same religion, ethnicity, etc.
 * They will all rebel away eventually, but losing a big war is a good chance for oppressed nations to rebel away from their masters. Not to mention, being friendly with your previous ruler happens usually when you had a peaceful independence or a really long time to get over a war of independence. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:06, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Proposed Change to Industrial Bonus
I would like to propose a change to the bonus in that population determines whether or not you get the bonus, instead of how many nations actually should get it by weight of numbers (having more industrialized nations on your side that it). My reasons for this are simple. During World War II, Germany was one of the most industrialized nations on Earth. However, it couldn't defeat the Soviet Union despite that since Germany's population was too small beat the vast industrial base and population of the Soviet Union. Even though the Soviets had fewer advanced factories or training, they simply had more factories to work with, and more people to man them all. Eventually, Germany was crushed by a tide of Soviet tanks that were being churnned out in the tens of thousands. The USSR's 200 million people and backwards industrial base, beat Germany's 80 million people and smaller yet more advanced industrial base. Henceforth, I believe that the industrial bonus should be tided in with the population size of the nation using it. Just a suggestion. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 13:50, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

There were many reasons for that. Foremost was the fact that by 1940, the USSR was one of the world's leading industrial powers. Spread out and poor but still an industrial power compared to most of the world. Furthermore was the fact that Germany had huge supply lines to fight in the USSR while the factories in the Ural mountains continued churning out tanks and aircraft and their supply lines shrank. Scandinator (talk) 15:31, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Even before the supply lines broke, and before the invasion of the Soviet Union, the Germans were still having manpower issues. They couldn't produce nearly enough tanks or aircraft to fight the Russians, even though they were technially more advanced and still had strong supply lines. In the end, it couldn't afford the manpower losses that the Soviets could. Heck, if the United States invaded Britain today, Britain's supply lines would service the entire nation. But the US would still will even though it was fighting across the Atlantic. Why? It can afford to build more guns, more ships, and more tanks at the end of the day, and can afford to lose more men, while Britain cannot. Germany had poor logistics yes, but the Soviet Union had to service the same amount of territory with fewer supplies and facilities (Germany still had more rails and ships than the Soviets, and its territory was more densely-populated). My point remains that the Soviet were still industrializing by the time of the war, they simply marshalled their manpower to advance it for the conflict. Its repeated numerous times in every history book about the war I've read. I should really learn how to minimize these walls of text. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 15:49, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

You're completely right also personally I think that there should be an increase to the population bonus as like it or not, it's largely the biggest nation wins the war throughout recent history. Kunarian TALK 15:45, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

I concur. It's not entirely plausible either. I mean, how much of your population can you really have in the military and working in factories at any given time?

15:57, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

But then you cannot have a nation greater than you in population but say two levels below you in industry take you over. That has also never happened. The reason the Indians were under the Brits so long was becasue they were technologically superior (logistics and otherwise). :L  Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:01, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Yup. Industrialized nations can easily conquer vast portions of unindustrialized land (which is why I'm confused as to why Ethiopia can't expand any faster into the black lands). And to anwser your question Scraw, the Soviet Union had 12.5 million soldiers in its standing army throughout World War II, and at the time of its dissalution in 1991, it had about three to five million troops. So that was about six percent of its population in 1945 and five percent by 1991. As for factories, the Soviet Union had 80% of its population in factories in 1980. So to finish, you can have a lot of people in factories and in the military. You don't need millions of people on a farm really, and most modern first world countries get by comfortable with only 2-3% of their population working the fields. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:02, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

You understand that 1900s industrialization is different to 1700s industrialization right? Also the USSR is a communist government with a centrally planned economy. The examples you are using are quite irrelevant to our current situation of 1700s economics and technology, with the largely democractic and/or monarchies which most nations players have are. The industrialization bonus is to make it easier for industrialized nations to colonize non-industrialized nations as without this bonus, nations would have no points to show that they have more advanced technology. Your example of example of WW2 nations was fought between nations with a largely similar level of technology so the industrialization bonus wouldn't come into play, but things like recent wars and allies would, meaning the USSR would win.

Numbers isn't everything, if you have significantly better technology that more advanced nation will win - e.g. Britain vs Zulu or the Darleks invading Earth. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 22:01, August 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * United Earth still defeated the Romulans, even though they had superior technology. :P [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:22, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

I suppose I'll use another example then. During the American Civil War, the North had three times the people than the South, four times the railroads, nine times the factories, and twice as many soldiers. This was in an era that was before the advent of electricity and the era of true mass production, so there is little to take away from it. Heck, even railways existed in the early-1800s, meaning that the economics, though not as rail-reliant as the 1860s, are still somewhat comparable. So the point still stands regardless, that numbers and industry still remain important as more bodies means more production, and more production means more guns, uniforms, and munitions. And on the Zulu, they were fighting a power that had a colony nearby, providing troops and ammuntion to fight a nation that was a pre-industrial power with a population of 500,000-1,000,000 people. The Boers were more numerous than them. Plus, the Zulu were fighting in a small area, and only fielded 14,000 to 20,000 men in the entire war, with the largest battles having no more than 4,000-5,000 warriors. The British fielded 1,000 troops at Isandlwana alone. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:29, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
