PM4
Hello here!

My name's Nathan, I'm a mod in PM4 and the previous player of Ethiopia. In order to be exact for nation expansions, you would have to post an edited map of the expansion on the talk page of PM4, using a simple software such as Paint or Gimp. That way, the map maker will know exactly how much your expedition found. Make sure you read carefully through the nation page and previous turns to understand your current position. If you have any questions, let me know!

RE: PM4
Hello,

Another mod gave you the strike, because you do not plausibly have direct communication with that particular nation. When you send diplomacy to nations in Africa, the Middle East, or Mediterranean, make sure that you specify how that envoy is sent. Other places, like Russia, are not plausibly accessible.

Let me know if you need anything else, Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  03:57, September 10, 2017 (UTC)

"What happened?" well, nothing bad for your information lol. I united the Coptic and Catholic theologies, so now the Coptic Pope is equal to the Roman Pope and part of the same Church. I also fought off a combined invasion of multiple Muslim nations, which caused me to lose the Sinai peninsula. I focused on modernizing the army, but never made any kind of navy except within the Nile River. So yeah, that's pretty much it.

It's one continous history. So everything was as I left it when I last posted in 1750. Of course, some things have changed since 1750, like the ruler's name, and you are free to change that (although imo Goliath is not the kind of name a person would willingly choose). However, you can't retroactively change aspects of the nation that are more significant, such as the government, etc, but you can change them in later turns if you have plausible reasons.

The Jaffarid Sultanate owns the Sinai right now. You might be able to beat them, but its more likely you are evenly matched. Its even possible you could buy it off of him. Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  21:12, September 10, 2017 (UTC)

I know, that's always the case with Ethiopian names. However, Goliath was a villain of the bible. Some biblical names used by Ethiopian emperors normally are Joshua, John, David, and Matthew. Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  21:45, September 10, 2017 (UTC)

Hey, no biggie,

Just describe in your turn what is done about the military in that particular year. Plan in advance how many years should be used to expand the military and what should be done each year at a time. There is a section on the rules page that shows how to calculate the maximum military you are allowed to have given your population and government (you are an absolute monarchy). Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  01:43, September 11, 2017 (UTC)

Last I had the military was about 300,000 (i think). It should be about 60-80 years behind European technology I believe. Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  02:32, September 11, 2017 (UTC)

PM4 Egypt
So as you know im in the process of trying to help you but im also in a pickle since its just alot of people for me to contend with. But generally i was hoping to secure some sort of condominium with you in Egypt so neither of us can lose it and in the future i can build the Suez canal and try and move beyond that. Generally though we need to co-ordinate cause im in the middle of fighting Arabia too and cant focus down like i usually do, plus i dont have direct access to Egypt without a major troops landing (which i sort of have in Benghazi) So im kind of hoping with Benghazi i can land a larger force. But if there is possibility of you getting a big force north to distract as much as possible i can run an army up from the north and gut the Core

Gonna have to be more and longer. Without me you get pushed back down south significantly. -Feud

You will still have Ethiopia after the revolution. If you don't want to keep Ethiopia you can change nations.

Ethiopia treaty
Colgan,

I'm not sure what you were trying to accomplish, but the Second Treaty of Cairo was for the Third Arab-Ethiopian War, which ended in the 1740s. You have no right to change it because it's over and done decades ago. The treaty relevant to your nation is the Treaty of Baghdad.

Re:Incans
Colgan,

You may not add the Incas because they didn't exist until the 12th century. The first state in South America was Tiwaniku, which was founded in 500 AD. The only states in America that exist in 100 AD are in Central America (unless you play tribes) Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  02:11, October 4, 2017 (UTC)

RE:PmIV revolt
I'm afraid I don't understand your question. You have free control over entities within your nation, and some control over your nationals in other nations. You cannot directly cause a revolt in another nation, only influence them as a separate nation. Everything else you have to ask a Mod for.

Hey Colgan Dog! Age of Authority has just begun! make sure to add your turn asap and remember, always have fun! ;)

Yay!

Hungary Response
So pretty much Hungary's main mining export is bauxite which makes aluminum. That mineral isnt in major use for more than a century which makes it useless to you. Outside of that you have a modest amount of coal which means Hungary industrializing in a major fashion is also out. Your just moving too quickly with things your trying to pull off. Im the giant power to your south and it took me nearly 300 years to get to this point. I didnt do it overnight. -Feud

Re:AoA

It's difficult to say, but roughly 200,000 is my guess Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  23:44, October 17, 2017 (UTC)

Don't panic jk

Look for the dropdown arrow to the right of "edit". The third option down should be "Rename".

Once you rename, the original name will automatically generate a redirect page to the article by its new name. Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess  00:48, October 19, 2017 (UTC)

come onto chat a sec
lets discuss terms and write out proper treaty. With Blood and Iron (talk) 05:14, December 14, 2017 (UTC)

i suggest we start from scratch. im sorry for the super aggressive demeanor. we can refresh talks and do them proper tomorrow ok. Im used to super aggressive surroundings so yeah. my apologies. With Blood and Iron (talk) 06:13, December 14, 2017 (UTC)

can you please just abandon the chaku and paraguay consetions? i already own them if you try to push for them ill be forced to go to war with you and we can easily be allies instead of enemies With Blood and Iron (talk) 01:55, December 17, 2017 (UTC)

you have plenty of southern land to expand into. the chaku region i legally control the chaku region and im willing to enforce those claims. The present borders borders on the map are what im willing to settle for anything further north is not acceptable. this is my final offer otherwise ill puh my claim further south With Blood and Iron (talk) 04:38, December 17, 2017 (UTC)

ok im glad we worked this out. With Blood and Iron (talk) 04:59, December 17, 2017 (UTC)

Stars Over Paris
Hey, I was wondering if I could help out on your timeline of "Stars Over Paris". I have some ideas, mainly a "Kingdom of America" which would form out of the thirteen heavily inhabited british colonies after the English Revolution. These thirteen colonies would be hard to conquer for the sparsely populated New France so they would probably remain independent. The King would flee from England to these colonies and they would become their own country, probably allying with the French against the Britannic Republic. The Britannic Republic would likely develop its own colonial empire (and maybe the Americans would as well). With no Napoleonic Wars, this means Spanish Colonies Become Independent a different way or not at all, the HRE survives, and the various revolutions caused by Napoleon never happen. Monarchy likely remains a deciding force in world politics into the industrialized world but war technology doesn't get as advanced without the American Civil War (or an equivalent to it).

ok so here is what i specified. you keep saying we are splitting the concession which we are not. I have from the start said i will recognize what is shown on the map which is more or less otl division of the chaco region, but i need you say that you recognize the borders as shown on the map in the game. It is that simple. I control that area and i will not back out of the area i control. I am willing to live in peace and prosperity with you as my neighbor but you need to recognize that the current borde as shown on the map is the border that is final. also i want you to agree to freedom of navigation of the Revierre de Argente region. once you have accepted those two points we can begin discussing trade. we do not have a formal agreement or treaty i have not established a trade agreement you at all. i am not being confusing i am stating clearly what i want so please respond directly to my request .With Blood and Iron (talk) 06:05, December 20, 2017 (UTC)

type you accept on the turn so we can move forward next turn we can start working out a treaty to determine things. With Blood and Iron (talk) 15:20, December 20, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Map game
Colgan,

It is generally preferred you have more experience on the wiki before making a map game. If we have too many map games at once, admins will start shutting them down. Otherwise, it isn't a problem.

Re:Russian America
I can't thank you enough for being interested in the Russian America timeline. Though I must insist that you read the Editorial Guidelines:editorial guidelines:0 before doing so.

That being out of the way, you have a very interesting idea here. The concept of an Aboriginal state and an Independent Tasmania are very intriguing to me.

However, I feel obligated to ask &mdash; Why do you believe the POD of this timeline would be more favorable to your suggestions than compared to OTL? By that, why do you believe a larger Russian Empire and a Russian colonial presence in North America would be a good catalyst for having such an altered Australia?

I'm not too knowledgeable on Australian history, so you may know something that I don't. But from my prospective, I highly doubt the Russians would give the British and British colonists any trouble in Australia (at least no more than what Australia faced in OTL in general).

I will be more than happy to have this conversation with you and to explore the possibilities within the timeline. But only if it's historically possible (given the POD).

I look forward to your response. -- 00:10, January 12, 2018 (UTC)


 * I do appreciate your enthusiasm for an Aboriginal state. Unfortunately, I highly doubt your scenario here would work here.


 * Russian relations with the native groups were mostly on a case-by-case basis. The were on good relations, while the  were somewhat negative (and this ignores the  in the Caucasus).


 * Secondly, I highly doubt the Russian Empire would have any desires in Australia. It's too far off of Russia's travels and 100% dominated by the British (who I highly doubt would give the Russians an inch in the area).


 * In all likelihood, I foresee the British being more "protective" of Australia than in OTL. Within a 50 year period (1780s-1830s), the British lost the, "do nothing" as the Russian Empire moves into the Pacific Northwest, and lose to the aforementioned Thirteen Colonies. In effect, the British lose their standing in North America. With Australia being their only safe haven (aside from South Africa... later on), I could see the British acting more swiftly to any threat to its control. The British did this in OTL when the French considered claiming Western Australia (which would only be exacerbated ATL).


 * All-in-all, I don't see how your Aboriginal angel could feasibly work here (sorry to say). That being said, your suggestions have given me an idea which may be more workable and allow some of your ideas to flourish.


 * With the British being more "active" in Australia, combined with the fact that transcontinental nations (such as the United States and Canada) don't exist as they do in OTL, this may contribute to the Federation talks of the late 1800s being less successful than OTL. It was during this same process that New Zealand gradually moved away from Australia. Western Australia nearly did the same.


 * The scenario I suggest is that Western Australia and Tasmania simply feel more compelled to stay out of an Australian federation (a la New Zealand) when the process was happening. Tasmania not joining the federation may be an issue (given its proximity to Victoria) and will need to be looked into. I'm sure if we could get a -esuqe Premier of Tasmania during the time, that would help them out.


 * As for Western Australia, perhaps they'd be more keen on an Aboriginal state within their boundaries (something of an Australian ). But this is speculation and will need to be looked into. -- 04:14, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

Um...

The Russian Empire abolished serfdom years before the Emancipation Proclamation.

Secondly, the Russian Empire was the only European power (OTL) to have fully backed the United States (while the British and the French were partially okay with the Confederates). This bond would only be stronger here. -- 18:02, January 12, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Sorry to have burst your bubble. -- 18:13, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

You begin to pick up things the more you hang around in the historical community. ;P

As for Australia, I'm still reading more about it and other scenarios possible. As of right now, I'm not too sure about the scenario I previously suggested (but it's still too early).

While it is still feasible to have Western Australia move towards independence, I'm not completely sure about Tasmania (at least from what I can see). The residence were overwhelmingly in favor of federation (#1, in fact). I will still need to do more reading on it.

As for the Aboriginals, I'm also having second thoughts. From what I've been reading, virtually all of the Australian states were monsters during this time. Like I said before, will need to do more reading. -- 18:33, January 12, 2018 (UTC)
