The New & Improved Map Game (Map Game)

The newest version of the Map Game and The New Map Game. It actually starts out with a fairly historical map of 500 A.D.

The Rules
Just like the original Map Game, a turn is a year

Take your turn by writing a bunch of random events, then edit the map (Microsoft Paint, FotoFlexer, Adobe photoshop, of any other photo editor will do, but we recomend Pixlr)

Don't be ridiculous! (i.e. Finland cannot dclare independence and then invade the entire world, all in a year)

'If you don't have a map to show for your new edit, it will be deleted! or a map will be mad based on the stuff you wrote'

This will stop whenever it gets too crazy

Please leave comments on the talk page!

WE WILL ADD MORE YEARS ONCE WE GET THERE!

One other person must go again before you take a turn!

PLEASE, make the pictures more consistent. it just looks weird

If you have a problem with a post, rather than changing it, post a bit on the talk page about it, and the community will decide.

664

 * Prussia invades north into the Scandinavian peninsula and makes many major gains. The Fire-bombs and early planes are seen as the reason why.
 * Catalonia builds it's own firebombs and planes, and secretly develop percussion primed breachloaders and swarming tactics.

665

 * France invents a new tatic: blitzkrieg, a Prussian named tactic. The tactic emphaizes using planes and fire-bombs, combined with a large swarm of troops, against the enemy. Field-cannons and missile-launchers are to be used especially.


 * The Russian Empire builds a whole-pile load of fire-bombs. They now have more then 15,000 of them, compared to 10,000 for France, 5,000 to Prussia, and 2,000 for Catalonia.


 * Russian scientists make a major breakthrough: tanks. The Russians invent the tank as a sort of rolling machine, equipped with missile launchers and heavy field-cannons, with it's own small fire-bomb launcher. The Russians make sure no one else finds out. They root out any potential spies, just in case.

666
Catalonian engineers build the first rifled cannons, and invent the first cartridge rifles. They are careful to be secretive. They also begin training in Bliztkreig tactics.

Prussia develops a new, cheap, way of developing steel and begins to find ways to put this to military use. Also, by now Prussia conquers most of Scandinavia and begins developing Blitzkreig tactics.

667
Russia reaches the Pacific Coast, and are now a strait away from OTL Alaska, then undiscovered. They also annex OTL Sakhalin, the Kurkil Islands, and the long strip of OTL Russia that tips with OTL North Korea. The Russians also invent the first cartridge cannons, but in secret. They adopt the Blitzkrieg tactics themselves and improve on it. The Russians are very secretive, making sure nobody finds out about the Russia Fighting Krieg.

The Russian verison of Bliztkrieg is:


 * Tanks are to be used to squeeze in enemy forces, while planes are to be used to bomb enemy positions and weaken morale. A large number of troops, then attack the enemy, supported by cartridge cannons, steam-powered cannons, missile-launchers, and rocket-launchers. Field cannons are to be used to bombard enemy defenses. Civilians are to be terroized by bombing cities using the missile launchers. Soldiers are then to come in to the city, kill the men and children, and take civilian women.

668

 * Prussian spies find out about this new Russian tactic and put it to instant use against the remaining Scandinavian forces, also Prussia begins making its tanks and planes out of steel.


 * Catalonia improves on the Prussian steel process, and begin powering their vehicle with oil. They also begin building their own tanks.

669

 * Russian spies find out about the rifile cannon, the Prussian-Catalonian steel process, and the cartridge rifles. Russia immediadiately begins churning out large amounts of rifile cannons and cartridge rifiles. The Russians also begin making Prussian-styled steel at alarming rates.
 * With Scandinavia conquered, Prussia begins to worry about the threat of Russian invasion.
 * Italy declares war on Prussia after the invasion of Bavaria and the attack on France.

Russia promises Prussia it has no intentions to invade. The Russians rule OTL Finland, most of OTL Poland, OTL Lithuania, OTL Lativa, OTL Estonia, OTL Russian Federation, most of OTL Ukraine, OTL Belarus, OTL Tajikstan, OTL Kahzakstan, OTL Krgystan, OTL Uzbekstan, OTL Turmenistan, OTL Georgia, OTL Armenia, OTL Azerbajan. The Russians say there are satisified with their present land.

Catalonia annexes the rest of Hispania, by popular demand.

Berlin is completed and Prussia and Russia sign a treaty in Moscow to promise to support each other in case of foreign invasion.

Catalonia begins industrializing the rest of Hispania.

Meanwhile, Emperor Yemenvy of Russia dies at the age of 65, having reigned as both king and emperor of Russia for 39 years, and is succeeded by his young 18-year old grand-daughter, Elisabeth, who becomes Elisabeth I of Russia. Elizabeth will reform Russia and rule with greatness.

Prussia has stopped the Italian advance and has begun to counterattack.

Catalonia offers France an alliance, in order to protect against the Prussian-Russian agression. France, who still hates Catalonia for their defeat in two wars in the past century, declines, and signs a alliance with both Prussia and Russia instead.

Dark red in the map repersents Prussia

671
Empress Elisabeth I of Russia issues the Decree on Western Styling. The Decree forces all Russians, including the nobles, to wear French, Italian, and Prussian clothing. Russian men a2nd nobles are ordered to cut their beards. Marriage by arrangement is abolished, replaced with marriage by choice. Elizabeth also grants women the right to a education and the right of custody of children.

Catalonia expands it's navy. it now has almost twice the number of ships as the French Navy. they also build the first aircraft carriers. Catalonia builds massive fortifications on the Pyrenees.

Prussia invades Italy and by the end of the year Rome is under Prussian rule.

France expands it's navy considerably. Aircraft carriers, the world's first battleships, and the world's first submarines are built in alarming rates. The French build without consideration, and they eventually catch up to the Catalonian Navy in terms of size. The French also increase their army size. Soon, France's army was twice the size that of Catalonia's.

672
Prussia finishes up the conquering of Italy, and begins to build up its navy massivly, building destroyers, aircraft carriers, and submarines. By the end of the year their navy is almost as big as France and more than twice as big as Catalonia's. Also, they begin to mass produce bomber and fighter aircraft and create the Prussian Air Force.

673
France builds it's navy even more. With support from both Prussia and Russia, who supply planes, troops, and weapons, the French begin planning a massive assault on Catalonia. This time, the French want to eliminate their century-long enemy.

France and Prussia sign a deal saying that in the case of war, France would invade mainland Catalonia, while Prussia would invade their African colonies.

Catalonia has secretly been building up their navy. they have the same number of battleship and cruisers, more destroyers, and almost twice as many aircraft carriers. they have also signed a secret alliance with the Hungarian empire, and Britain, which has secretly been modernizing for the past decade. Prussia decided it would invade Hugary, while France would invade Britain.

CIS agents manage to steal the plans for the invasion of Catalonia, Hungary and Britain. it send these plans to it's allies, and they prepare accordingly

also, CIS agents convince the Muslims in Anatolia and Greece to launch a Jihad against Prussia. they also supply them with explosives

674
After years of planning, 340,000 French troops, supported by 250,000 Prussian troops and over 130,000 Russian troops, invades Catalonia, from the coast, and from the Pyrennes. This time they will not withdraw. The French and Prussian Navies engage and destory most of the Catalonian navy. Prussian agents in the Middle East are able to convince the Anatolians and Greeks that the true enemies are the Catalonians. Prussian forces then land in North Africa, taking most of Catalonia's territory there by the end of the year.

what the Prussians and French don't realize is that they are being funneled into a trap. the Catalonian Army engages in several perfect retreating actions, then two other armies close in on the huge allied force from either flank, trapping and destroying most of it. the Allies suffer 90% fatalities, and another 9% are take prisoner.

Meanwhile, on the high sea, the aircraft carrier fleet that had been built in secret ambushes the Franko-Prussian Navy, annihilating in with wave after wave of torpedo and dive bomber. cut off from supplies, the Prussian forces in Africa are forced to surrender. The French are now worried. They do not want to lose a third war against Catalonia.

675
As a last resort, the Prussians and French detonate fifteen fire-bombs in Catalonia's major cities and military production faclities. Almost all of Catalonia's major military and industrial centers are destoryed. The new Prussian carrier fleet fights the Catalonia's to a standstill.

CIS plants a firebomb in front of the Imperial palace in Paris. After it goes off, and the entire royal family is dead, the French Republic is proclaimed. France immediately drops out of the war.

676
French royalists re-instate the Empire of France. Their leader, Henry I, vows revenge against Catalonia. His spies almost destory the CIS, and more then 1,000 firebombs are planted in the major cities of Catalonia. All the bombs are detonated, and more then 80% of the Catalonian population is dead.

Catalonia's retaliation, a massive bombing attack with tens of thousands of fire bombs, kills almost 90% of Frances population.

677
France detonates over 15,000 fire-bombs in Catalonia, killing almost all of the people who survived the first fire-bomb attacks. Both France and Catalonia now only have a one-hundreth of the population they had in 670. France has only 100,000 people left, Catalonia, only 33,000. Prussia suffers no such fate, but does provide several steel-plated firebombs for France's use.

Angry that Prussia is supporting France, Catalonia uses the remainder of it's firebomb stockpile to literally bomb Prussia back to the stone age.

678
The Prussians, although weakened, have one last trick under their slaves. They detonate 9,000 of their remaining 12,000 fire-bombs in Catalonia, killing what was left of the Catalonian population. The remaining 3,000 fire-bombs were used to destory the Catalonians in North Africa and what was left of their navy. After this major war, Prussia, France, and Catalonia are de-populated and no longer powerful.

Meanwhile, the Russians had left the war and had signed a truce with Catalonia, while at the same time maintaining the peace with Prussia and France. The Russians signed a non-agression pact with Hungary and assured Britain of Russian protection. By now, Russia has more then 500,000 fire-bombs in pile.

679
In a small village in the Aland islands, formerly of Baltland, a Swedish engineer develops a theory of a wire, turned around a lodestone, produces sparks. He keeps this to himself, and also discovers that fulminate of mercury can be used as a primer in a weapon, paving the way for a rapid-fire rifle. As with the generator, he keeps this to himself, and begins to gather around a small group of individuals seeking independance from various nations, primarily Prussia. Among these is an Icelandic fisherman, Baldur Carlst, who claims to have discovered a land beyond Greenland, where his friends and family have set up a settlement. In order to escape the hellhole of war and slaughter Europe has become, Baldur & co. begin shipping prescreened individuals off to Jungfrulanda. By the endof the year over 500 have been sent of, and many Skraelings have joined up in order to get guns and other advanced technology.

Prussia enter a period of resurgence as new inventive agricultural programs create a never before seen population boom. Prussia also signs a treaty with France, Catalonia, and Russia that bans the use of fire-bombs forever. Finally, word gets to Berlin about the possibility of lands farther west of Greenland and Prussian scientist investigate.
