Principia Moderni (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, is a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming dynasty in China--1420 C. E...The House of Hohenzollern have become the Electorates of Brandenburg--though most of the power in the Holy Roman Empire still lies with the Habsburgs, Joan of Arc has defeated the English at Orleans, the city of Tenochtitlan is founded by the Aztecs, the Timurid Empire has united Central and West Asia, and the Yongle Emperor sends out Zheng He to voyage westwards. It is a turbulent era, in other words, an era of change, and an era in which power is cemented.

1780


''' A devastating earthquake shakes Persia. 200,000 are dead in and around Tabriz. Bavaria declares independence from Brandenburg, along with Prussia.Meanwhile, the Saxonian forces obtain a decisive victory over the Brandenburgian forces near Magdeburg.inspired by the recent events on Saxony, revols against Brandeburgian rule grow in western Brandenburg, espacially on Westphalia and Rhineland. Meanwhile, in the Indian subcontinent Bharat vassalizes the two small nations that it practically surrounds, Gondwana and Bidar. '''

''' I changed the event concerning the AGC, as the process of breakup should take longer than just three years.assuming that Scandinator posted the events, you yourself said that it would be complete in 1797.and it still is 1780. '''


 * Industrialization continues in Hungary.The economy grows.Egypt updates its military.Meanwhile, Newfoundland continues expanding, and Magyar Dél-Amerikabán expands 2750 sq km inland.
 * Nippon continues to expand into Karafuto as the war rages on. The Shogun is also deeply offended by the Tsar's claim to Karafuto/Sakahalin island and the Chishima/Kuril Islands which are not only part of the Nipponese nation but they are populated by Nipponese citizens. Nippon ask Finland to do something about their Union parter Russia and get Russia to remove her claim to Nipponese controlled territories, and former Nipponese controlled territories. Meanwhile Chamoru manages to conquer all of her neighbouring tribes and assumes complete control over the Mariana Islands. Kamochatoka expands too by 800 sq km. Emperor Go-Momozono dies too, and his adopted son from the Kan'in branch of the Imperial family ascends to the Chrysanthemum Throne as Emperor Kōkaku.
 * Finland will do whatever it can to convince Russia to stop claiming Nipponese Islands.
 * Russia claimed them before you entered the game... Tsar Alexi was in power from 1645-1678. but fine, We can strike some sort of deal. I will relinquish claims as long as I can be assured that Nippon does not attack Russia from those Islands...and that Russians are free to settle as they love the landscape.
 * Nippon agree not to attack Russia from Karafuto or the Chishima islands (Sakhalin & Kuril islands). Russian citizens are also allowed to emigrate to Nippon and become citizens too. Nippon also thanks Finland for their help with this issue.
 * Finland continues to build up their military, and continue to build and improve some infrastructure. Industrialisation also continues throughout Finland. Finland also expands Hyvinkää 250km inward and expands Kōshi by 250km. Finland tells Russia very kindly to stop claiming Karafuto and the Chishima Islands as theirs and focus on Evenkia that they can take over and also tells Russia to take the Arctic islands above them (like OTL Servernaya Zemlya and New Siberian Islands) before someone else does. Meanwhile a few more Shinto shrines are built in the colonies, and a new small port is also built.
 * I think you need to send Lx a message on his talk page, as he appears to not be reading over Nippon's posts well enough. Also, it shouldn't take so long to take over Karafuto, you could probably reign over the whole island by next year.
 * ​Turan continues to work on its military.Turan offers a deal to Russia asking for the Caucus region and Kazakhstan(we are willing to pay the price to re-unite with our Turkic brethren). Could someone please do the war algorithym.
 * Most of the Caucasus is Armenian dominated, and the main minorities would be Georgian, Persian, and Kurdish, not Turkish. Also, who are you going against in the war?
 * Well, there is an Azerbaijani population in the Caucasus... But the main reason I want the Caucasus is because it gives me access to Kazakhstan. And my war is against Bulgaria.
 * But you don't even border Armenia, not even by sea border. With the new stability and results algorithm, I want Scandinator to do the first new algorithm so I have an example to go on.
 * I didn't see anything new. Anyhow, it is the whole Caucuses in my intrest, and I have access to the Black sea...
 * Naples: Industrialization continues, with Cambio di Pablo's experimental factory being a great success, and a couple more factories, scattered about the nation, are in planning (although it will take a few decades before they make a significant portion of Neapolitan products). Urbanization continues as well. Istoias grows 2000 square kilometers as the people there begin to move northward. Naples recognizes the independence of all the nations that have broke away from Anglo-Germany, and recognizes the Itsaygahi dominance of Wales under the condition that Itsaygahi not destroy the religion of the Welsh people.
 * Madoc's army seizes control of the West Country, and Bristol is opened up to more Itsaygahan soldiers. The 'Indians' become a frequent sight in the West Country and South Wales. Meanwhile, Owain's army of Welshmen seize Merseyside and the Border Country area of England. Charter Port Princes and Marcher Lords place their sons as governors and administators of Welsh provinces, marrying them to Welsh noblewomen. The nation is renamed the Union of Cymbria. Itsaygahi solidifies its control over Cymbria. The Isle of Man is seized and turned into an Itsaygahan colony. Madoc's cousin Chanrak takes the place of governor of the island, and exercises a deep level of influence on the mainland. Elsewhere, the colony in West Africa is expanded.
 * Persia sends relief teams to the disaster zones and asks for Russia and China to help the people. The colony of New Tehran expands by 10x40 sq. mi. Expeditions throughout the island and the Amazon continue. THe expedition to Singapore is a sucess, having finding a successful pit stop. With their job done, they return home. The military and navy continues to be expanded and upgraded. They send diplomats to France-Sweden, proposing a co-op invasion of Srivijaya.
 * Naples will help Persia too, as long as they can get some of the territory as well. Remember, with the new result equation, the war should last at least 5 years so we can get all of the territory
 * Sure, let Naples join (you hearing this Naples?)
 * Naples, hoping to gain a new colony, as it has been almost 50 years since their colony of Vicia was founded, sends aid to Persia to help them recover from the earthquake, and promises help against Srivijaya in a future war.
 * Russia continues its Settlement of Siberia. The Russian Governement officialy makes torture ilegal. The enlightenement is starting to grip the people of Russia. The Rural populace start having large families, as it is now well known that many go into the cities to try to make a living. a roadwork project begins in russia. the Great Transcontinental road finished construction. Aid is sent to Persia in the form of money and certain soldiers. Russia, Lithuania, The Iroquois, Armenia, and Kazakhstan all petition Turan to abolish Slavery and Enslavement of Christians. They ask that Turan look towards russia, and econom without slaves as inspiration. RTOZhD starts building its first rail line in the Pacific. Meanwhile, RZhK is not doing as well, as prices soar. Reaserch on a new Train engine starts. Afrikanskaya Zemlya expands by 9000km.
 * The Vietnamese and Taiwanese continue to expand their militaries in preperation for the upcoming war.

1781
''' The union between Portugal and Spain is broken, with Spain getting the Australian and Algerian colonies and Portugal getting the former Incan colony and the OTL Tangiers colony. (this means they both go gray) '''
 * Naples prepares its military for the coming conflict. Istoias expands 2000 square kilometers northward along the coast. The first gun factory is made for the preparations for the war with Srivijaya/Malaysia, but it only supplies a small amount of the guns. A small slave revolt occurs in Ricasolia, the only Neapolitan colony that still has slavery, but it is quickly quited down.
 * Turan keeps working on its militar, whilst spreading through Bulgaria. Turan offers 1000 golden lira for both Kazakhstan and Caucasia.
 * Just what will taking land you dont border, even by sea get you? and 1000 golden Lira for the caucasus and Kazakhstan wont work. thats only bout 500 kilos of gold. THe population of the caucasus is mostly cossacks and Armenians and Georgeans. Byt Kazakhstan is turic...but too far away from your borders to make it worth buying.
 * the model of steam engine invented by Herczog continues to replace the old o ne, Meanwhile, the armament "industry" grows.Egypt continues updating its military, and riots against Hungarian rule start on Goa and surroundings.Magyar Dél-Amerikabán expands 2750 sq km inland.
 * Catherine dubs a cossack fortress in the Kuban Ekaterinodar(modern day Krasnodar). Siberian Settlement continues, as it is almost complete, Russains celebrate. THe Far East Gubernia is named and its capital is Nicolaevsk, although Vladivostok is ready to compete for that title, as it is growing larger and larger by the year, faster than Nicolaevsk. It is predicted that IN 1790 the Popultion of Vladivostok will rise to 250 000, more than Nicolaevsk's 240 000. More to come...
