Religion Map
<p style="font-size:13px;">

<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;">The Arabian federation doesn't have a state religion, its dominantly Islamic though. Many branches of Islam though, but I'd say Sunni or Ibadi Islam to be dominant. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg  (talk to Von!) 11:51, 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

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

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)

Industrialization
Due to meeting all of the twelve estabilished criteria for industrialization, the antion to be the first to industrialize is going to be Venice.Meanwhile, other nations (Orissa and China) are close, which ended up on somebody suggesting of having two simultaneous industrial revolutions, one in Venice and other in Orissa, the latter some years after the first.I'm not sure about this suggestion, so what somebody else thinks of this?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:03, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

I think the chart should be updated first. Some of the nations listed are more advanced than the mods give them credit for. Venice and China are both moderators, giving them the ability to edit the chart whenever they earn some points. The rest of us have to sit and wait and beg to get points put up. CourageousLife (talk) 10:16, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

I couldn't agree more, CourageuousLife. In fact, Venice is also a Mod. So, I think there needs to be a massive check before we do anything - and it will need to be soon. Personlly, 2 Industrial Revolutions seems like a good idea to me. Once it gets going in Venice (say 10-15 years), then China and Orissa are both moved up to crimson. Reximus55 (talk) 11:02, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah that current list isn't set in stone, we need to critically evaluate whether it is a fair scoring of nation's ability to industrialize. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 11:18, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

If I may interrupt. Ethiopia has been pushing for each of the criteria, developing a large middle-class, promoting industry, developing general education (Ethiopia's first major goal that was accomplished), expanding industrial potential. There was also my development of the transportation system which spanned some ten years of expansion, and the demand for coal which Ethiopia was producing for a while until I stopped mentioning it. All of my previous post indicated this. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 15:13, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

I have done extensive research on how industrialization started and the general consensus is that Italy and Germany were closest OTL apart from Britain mostly due to class structure and urbanization. The problem there was the individual states where too small and constantly warring. This research also allowed me to pinpoint those 12 points as critical to a nation's ability to industrialize first (Britain OTL would have scored an 11 or a 12). Ethiopia, the Mayans and Persia frankly do not have the urban base nor the colonial reach to begin industrializing first. And while I have tried to update other nation's positions on the chart, other mods and often other players just edit it on their own.

Finally, some nations may be developing schools and a "middle class" but you need a reason for it otherwise it would be metagaming and that would not be allowed (we are very lenient with these and really weak reasons are usually still accepted). Example: Venice's middle class is a result of the heavy trade and banking industries that allow many people to rise to the middle class though the roles of bankers, merchants or even crew on some of the long haul trips to Asia. Scandinator (talk) 15:46, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

As the Mayans, I've accepted the fact that I'm not going to industrialize first. The issue that I'm dealing with is that my potential isn't shown. But, if the Industrial Revolution is going to spread more quickly to China and Orissa because their positions on the chart are higher, then I want all of the points that I can muster. Do you see what I'm trying to say? CourageousLife (talk) 20:59, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

Once again, I completely agree with CorageuousLife. If Orissa industrializes, then its neighbor (once removed) will probably also industrialize more quickly. Also, if Persia is in the top 5, odds are that industrialization will go east faster. Reximus55 (talk) 23:58, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

On the matter of the middle-class, I stated that it was do to a chain effect of more Ethiopians learning do to the expanded education system, lead to them moving to cities to find better paying jobs. This led to the demand for more work, in which industrial centers were built with coal as a major resource to employ more people. This in turn led to the development of a larger road network which made trade easier. Expanded wages and abudant resources from the cities resulted in the growth of the middle-class, which in turn led to the wholesale expansion of major cities throughout Ethiopia. Look at the last two archived games. I urbanized the empire a while ago. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 00:17, May 3, 2013 (UTC).

Okay, I did the run down and here is Ethiopia's position on the matter. Ethiopia should have five point more than it does at the moment for reasons that shall be outlined below. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:55, May 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Education: I made it an early priority of the empire to expand education during the early-1600s. Ethiopia was in a close relationship with Orissa and had been expanding generation education to all parts of the empire as part of the modernization program, which had been underway for quite a while before and after the Caliphate era.
 * Resource Demand: Ethiopia had plenty of fuel reserves in the form of coal, and building materials such as wood and iron. As education increased, many Ethiopians; moved into the cities (as I state before and in the game), and this led to the increased demand in raw materials to fuel industrial growth in the cities that were spreading across the empire. I even made mention of the construction of industrial centers in the empire between 1640 and 1650.
 * Transport Capacity: From the beginning of the game to the years Ethiopia escaped the Caliphate's grasp, I made it very clear Ethiopia was expanding its road network, and did so for several decades if anyone  wishes to look. This matter shouldn't even be a dispute since it was basically the one and only thing I worked on over and over again even though I didn't have too long after that goal had been accomplished.
 * Mass Produced Resource: Ethiopia has a huge population of sheep, which has been the deciding factor for the large number of Ethiopians wearing shema, the white cloth that nearly all men and women wore for centuries under it was invaded by Italy (and to a large degree still worn by many today).
 * Religious Freedom (Science & Technology): Most of Ethiopia's scientific development has been in cooperation with Orissa, and even without Orissa, Ethiopia has never mixed science with religion though I've not spoken of the matter much. While this is a sketchy matter, Ethiopia's view on it is that religion is to control the people, not the science needed to make life better. There is a clear line there.

Buddy, transport capacity means a huge network of ports and ships to transport goods... Everything else is fine. But it still is not the 12 that Italia has...

You mean like Mombasa, Malindi. Lamu (the historical Swahili port-cities), Massawa, Assab, Manila, Saigon, Dagupan, Luanda and Port-Gentil? I have plenty of ports. In fact, I have territories that were historically known as major ports. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 16:09, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

Back to the original question-

I think it defeats the purpose of the table if we have two or three nations indusrializing at the same time. Better to just do one

CourageousLife (talk) 22:17, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

It makes plenty of since given that Britain had the resources to other nations didn't. Having multiple nations industrialize at the same time at different periods sounds pretty fair to me. And back to the matter of Ethiopia, I do have the ports, so does that not mean I get that point along with the other four as well? Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 22:50, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

I think it is highly unfair to have multiple industrial revolutions happen at once. Hailstormer (talk) 23:09, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

The purpose of the chart was to pick one winner CourageousLife (talk) 23:09, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

Then you'll have to choose Venice then since it took over most of the globe and destroyed Persia recently. However, that doesn't do anything to solve the problem with the other nations that have met all of the requirements, albiet lower that Venice. You have China, Orissa, and hopefully Ethiopia (provided you actually put it up there given my statements), and then Brandenburg and Rome followed by everybody else. Surely we get to kept our points right? Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:14, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

Industrialization spreads geographically, not by points CourageousLife (talk) 23:17, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

Wouldn't that be just as unfair as the multiple nations industrializing at once? Why would Orissa have to wait for industrialization to reach its borders while Russia far below it gets to industrialize beforehand? Orissa had made industrial successes than Russia, yet because it isn't close to Venice it has to wait for a nation with less development to industrialize first? Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 01:26, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

We (Collie and I) have decided to allow Orissa to industrialize one stage after Venice. It quickens the process in Asia dramatically and Ethiopia is likely to be Yellow or Light Green. Scandinator (talk) 14:52, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Why should Ethiopia industrailize that fast? There are other countries that are closer geographically and have more points. CourageousLife (talk) 19:49, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

IN any case, I would like to know when the Industry map is comming out...and when the industr table will be made...I know industry is set to be soon, but I find it unfair that the top 3 nations are all mods, who can put up points  whenever they cose, and the rest of us have to wait...I'm not accusing anyone of anything other than not realy paying attention to anything but their own nation(oh god that came out wrong)...what is better I guess is not paying enough attention to other peoples natinos...ya...that's better...please update industry table before industry map please...so that all doubts as to the validity and unbiasedness of the table and map be put to rest.-Lx (leave me a message) 21:01, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

I would lose my capital and industrial heartlands. No way am I not getting a 10. Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:18, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

no were not going to kill you Scan, just weaken you. youl be around when done, its not your capitol though, so no LoD, were taking a valuable port, not your capitol. Your not gonna be destroyed though, were just fighting to weaken you, you dont get 10s. you get a 5. DS|Fear the Mutated Dean Sims Bomb, Fear It 16:20, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

And this is a preemptive strike becasue you would do the ultiamte destruction to us, so we can also have it as 10, so shut up and be happy you got 5. NO ONE is getting a 10 DS|Fear the Mutated Dean Sims Bomb, Fear It 16:22, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Em no. It would be 5 is you invaded Mataram or my colony. You invaded my mainland. Hmm, if its not survival, what is it? Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:32, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Pre-emptive invasion of heartlands is still an invasion of the heartlands. If China was to annex LA and SF would that not be 10? They are the largest centres for the US on the West Coast similar to Constantinople for Italia. Also Lx, you have been expnding into Siberia till 1700. Thus your military and economic score are not counted and only expansion is since doing all three is regarded as multiple turns. You are only allowed one action per turn and in the priority that they go into the algorithm. This priority is expansion>military>economic>infrastructure. Your score is therefore -14 or -15 for expansion. I reckon that we should lay off the poor algorithm and let Kogasa or Collie whom are neutral mods, take over it.

No it wouldnt be 10, there not taking thewm over, just taking bits.

Why are you talking about dividing in the algo? The rules make absolutely no mention of this.

'''For a coalition algorithm, all of the nations that have declared full-on war would have their own algorithm section (with them being the leader, their nation age and military buildup, etc.) The real change is for the results. Then, all the nations on each side would be added up together, and the winning side gets to take territory from each nation. However, the nations that do better on each side would get more, while nations that did really bad may be temporarily occupied.'''

I based this attack on these rules, and if they are being disregarded and or are wrong, then this whole thing is extremely unfair. Hailstormer (talk) 20:41, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Also let me just mention a few things highlighted in my chats with some of the players: Anyway, yeah, just my 9 pence - <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 00:16, May 15, 2013 (UTC).
 * Since when was development scores (military, economy and infrastructure) done as an average of coalition leaders? I thought you only did averages of nation age, location and motive as averages. I mean nations in a coalition will have differing nation ages and locations and their reasons for war differ too. But development scores as well? This sort of defeats the purpose of a coalition as say if a strong nation is helping a weak nation against a medium nation, then they'll be equal in an average regardless of the stronger nation's much stronger power. E.g. if USA joins a war to protect the Philippines from Japan, then the scores will be averaged to be equal disregarding the USA's dominance over Japan because it is dragged down by Philippines.
 * Development scores have not been divided by the other side
 * Expansion scores seem to be incorrect
 * Recent war scores seem to be incorrect
 * Bonuses for population and high land haven't been given
 * If players don't agree to cancel this war then I recommend building a table to easily display each nation's individual scores so we can recognise mistakes easier
 * If players decide to cancel this war and return to the status quo, then each nation will have a recent war penalty just no land will change hands.
 * If both players agree, then possible changes to the status quo could be agreed upon. E.g. Rome wants to take Constantinople and Italy wants Persia, then they could agree to swap the lands and we act in game as if they were seized in war. Note that example is bad but it was the first thing I thought of :P
 * If players withdraw from the war, then all they can lose is war reparations. Unless you manage to convince them into giving you something else and they agree as well.

Several issues with the algorithm. The military and economic scores need to be divided by each other. The Orissa-Italia coalition has a +10 population bonus and a +5 larger colonial empire bonus. Leaving the scores at 23 for the Koori coalition and 54 for the Orissa-Italia coalition. The war has to last 5 years and then all leaders on the Koori coalition collapse.

I don't think its fair that you can lead in a war and then bail if you think you are losing regardless if the other side allows it or not. It's like France declaring war on Germany in WWII and then saying in May 1940: "Sacre bleu, the Germans are winning, can we have status quo ante bellum?" Scandinator (talk) 14:26, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Heck no, I like this war! Why do the losers always whine and complain about the score and this ditch the conflict when they lose? You picked a bad side and you lost. Get over it. Select another nation and just start off over. And to Rex and Callum, the war is over, your nations can't join in the conflict. Besides, the mods locked the algorithim already. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 15:00, May 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Exactly. In the real world, there are no algorithms. You fight it out to the end and then you find out who's winning. In the 1700s, anyone who dropped out of the losing side of a war had basically disgraced themselves and deserved no respect. Not to mention that we have troops in almost all of you countries.

The rules also weren't updated, weren't clearly defined, as well as the fact that there is no precedent to this kind of war. Besides, we shouldn't be bickering about it when it's Collie's decision anyway. CourageousLife (talk) 18:51, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

So let me see if I can understand this. Now that you've lost, all of a sudden you want to "update" the rules? There was appearently nothing wrong with them when people were taking territories all over the place with little problem, but since your nation is at risk of getting annexed, you what the rules to be fixed? And I seriously don't understand how much clearer "Wars can only be retconned if all players involved agree to do so" can be. And there have been many other wars similar to this one. Need I remind you of the war between the Holy Roman Empire and the Caliphate? In that conflict, the losing side said the rules were broken and had to be "fixed", while the winning side said there was nothing wrong with them. Different wars, same bulls**t. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:36, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Please try and be professional about this, because everyone's additudes are flaring up. The fact is that if there is going to be a retcon, the winning side will not consent. The decision whether or not to retcon the game will come from Collie, the only person with the power to override the rules in these circumstances. CourageousLife (talk) 19:54, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

I will. But I believe the whole idea of retconning the conflict solely because one side made a bad decision which would result in the loss of the nations is total unfair for the winners, all of whom entered with the same knowledge of the win or die situtation of fighting another group of players. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:58, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Not all of the nations entered with much previous thought. Even though I did declare war on two nations, I was dragged into a gigantic war with other nations who, regardless of whether I declared war or became neutral, would automatically declare war on Normandy and proclaim it a vassal or annex it.It's kind of unfair to the losers as well, when I am being invaded by Wales who may or may not have more of an advanced military than I, but I would never know because this algorithm just piles up the nations in one giant block. With that said, even if Wales had the smallest military in the world, them being apart of the winning coalition autmatically means they can annex whatever they please. Cookiedamage (talk) 20:02, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

It wasn't a bad decision when looked at in the perspective of the old rules. It got complicated when the rules were not the same, and it went downhill from there. It's not like we declared war because we wanted anything from the other side. Some of our more radical members *cough couch* maye have had their own motives, but most of us were fighting because we needed a solid trade group, and one of our members felt threatened.

Well, if you use the old algorithm for all future wars, then all the countries lost in this war because of the messed up algorithm now would be lost in a totally unfair situation. You might as well keep the current algorithm, for a while at least, or make a totally new one.

I'm not saying that we will necessarily turn back to the old way of using the coalition algorythm.i was just saying that this way has been proven kind of flawed for such cases.it seems to work well on other kinds of wars, but it can't handle well wars with too much leaders.what will happen later, is uncertain.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:55, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

So will the war continue for now?Cookiedamage (talk) 21:00, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

I refer back to one of my 9 points made earlier: in coalition algorithms have development scores (military, economy and infrastructure), recent wars, expansion and motive done as a total of the scores for each one of coalition leaders. Don't do an average. Keep using an average for nation age and location, but nothing else.

I mean nations in a coalition will have differing nation ages and locations and their reasons for war differ too. But development scores as well? This sort of defeats the purpose of a coalition as say if a strong nation is helping a weak nation against a medium nation, then they'll be equal in an average regardless of the stronger nation's much stronger power. E.g. if USA joins a war to protect the Philippines from Japan, then the scores will be averaged to be equal disregarding the USA's dominance over Japan because it is dragged down by Philippines. It also fairly represents the intentions for each coaltion leader in the war for joining a side.

I think it should be established that withdrawal should only be possible in wars where the winners are receiving less than 5% of the land and it is a coalition war or only winners can withdraw from a coalition war. Why? Because it's just plain metagaming for losers to withdraw in fear of losing so much.

I think Saxony should be allowed to join. I agreed to help Italia in 1701, which was the same year they really realised the Koori had declared war on them. I won't gain anything tangible from the war, but I do want to prove to Italia and Brandenburg that I am a steadfast ally who will assist them whenever they ask. So, could I either be added to the algorithm, or, if that can't be done (I do realise it is a lot of work with the algorithms), can it be aknowledged that I am on the Italian-Brandenburger coalition?

Some of this map is ridiculous, how on Earth does Ethiopia control eastern Turkey? Why would they want that land?

Why does China want New Zealand, which I claimed beforehand? Why does Germany want the land it has? Why does anybody want anything? I want the land I claimed, and I don't need a reason why. I claimed it first. And Orissa is the most powerful member of the coalition, as it has more territory, more resources, and better technology, hence the reason Imp gets to draw the map since he was the de facto leader of our side of the conflict. I picked New Zealand and eastern Turkey first, Imp got what he wanted, and so on. And using the same matter of reasoning and you yourselves have, should China expand into Central Asia where little resistance can be found? Surely there is plenty of unclaimed territory for that. If you didn't make your claims before we did, then that really isn;t a matterof concern for me. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 01:20, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Viva the rules still stay that the outcome of an algorithm can be disregarded if its considered implausible. Can you also request why on earth Ethiopia wants Eastern Turkey for me. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 01:32, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Because I'm a major colonial empire. Because I sent my troops to fight in a war you were going to lose. Because I helped win that war and waste a war point on it I planned for something else. And simply because I want Eastern Turkey and earned it fairly. That's why. Flag of the Hurian Federation.png Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 13:45, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * You should try to take something else. Not to mention you're not very high on the "major" colonial empires list. Venice, Portugal, China, Germany, and Orissa pretty much dominate that list, followed by Russia, France, and Arabia.
 * 19:18, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not choosing anything else. I won it. Besides, I have more vassals and colonies than both Russia and Arabia combined, and more than China by itself. So unless you have something better to offer me, then I'm sticking with my choice. Flag of the Hurian Federation.png Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 21:25, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Its still out of character Viva, there is no logical reason for Ethiopia to want this land. It is also very uneconomical for them to control too. You wanting it isn't a plausible reason, this is still just an alternative history simulator, and you still have to think what your country wants and how it would benefit it. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:37, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Why isn't it logical? Germany gave no reason for wanting any of the territories it wanted. Cyprus IRL was too weak and poor to even form a real military force, and yet it has a colony in Africa twice the size of the island itself. It never stated any actual reason why it wanted to build a colonial empire, yet when Ethiopia did, I was still prohibited from colonizing Madagascar, which was right next to Ethiopia. I was told I pushing it by even having a navy. Europe can colonize or take over whatever they want, Asia and colonize and take over whatever they want, yet when Ethiopia has tried to do anything of the sort, I've have to scale mountains and fight tooth and claw just to make the initial effort to attack or colonize. You guys keep coming up with excuses and pulling made up rules out of your collective behinds even time I try to build a colonial empire. Japan is weak and primitve compared to Ethiopia, yet it was a colony in North America. Ethiopia tried to establish a colony in South America, and I was shot down with the mods saying I could tick off Portugal and France. Three decades later and Japan  I'm sorry, Cyprus has the spot I tried to colonize. WTF!?! I'm not giving you a reason or economic report on why or how I want or can sustain the vassal, since I've never seen anyone else have to explain why. Flag of the Hurian Federation.png Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 21:44, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * If I mentiond even a few words as to why I want/need Georgia and that small bit of Australia, I'd be screwed. Cyprus is backed by some of the largest powers in Europe. Japan never fell into isolation ATL is is up to date with the world's military technology. Also, You have to round the tip of Africa and then cross all the way around South America to reach that area you wanted to colonize, while Japan crosses the Pacific in one fell swoop. Even though the Pacfic is riddled with storms and stuff, Japan is built of off the survival of that.
 * 22:43, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * You mean in the same way every European country has to travel around the tip of Africa just to get to their massive colonies and vassals? And Ethiopia was backed by Orissa, Bavaria, and Portugal, all very large and crediable powers, when it attempted to start its first colony. And just like Japan, Ethiopia too never fell into isolation, yet everyone seemed to forget that fact. Flag of the Hurian Federation.png Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:22, May 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * And he is supported by me, who - I might add - is industrialising with Venice. It is completely absurd that Ethiopia does not get a chance to flex its muscles while a country like Cyprus establishes colonies all around the world (no offence to Airlinesguy, you really have played really well in game, lol). He needs crop growing areas and the last time I checked, that area in Turkey is pretty good for crop growing. :P [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 23:27, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Indeed. And until those resevoirs are completed, Ethiopia is still at risk for famine. Flag of the Hurian Federation.png Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 00:08, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, YOU of all people keep forgetting how badly the Caliphate screwed you up. I concede that they screwed up Russia too, but Scandinavia saved them, and Cyprus meandered total devastation.
 * 00:12, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * This is 1706. Not 1583. Get over it. Flag of the Hurian Federation.png Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:10, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * And what? Let me put it this way. I'll use Cyprus as my example. After the Caliphate, Cyprus was 3. You were one. 223 + 3 > 223 + 1
 * 02:18, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * And Orissa, a major power at the time, helped rebuild Ethiopia after that, plus the Caliphate didn't destroy everything as they themselves used the technology and infaustructure left behind. Over the 123 years, a very, very long time, Ethiopia got its strength back, much in the same way Russia, Germany, Japan, and China got there strength back over half a decade in OTL. The invasion only served to give Ethiopians a reason not to be underprepared as they were when the Caliphate took over, and thus did everything in their power to expand and conquer when and wherever possible. They built even bigger warships, greater armies, and stronger fortifications. The Caliphate only helped to make Ethiopia stronger by forcing its populace to build better and greater. Your point has only served to reinforce my own. Flag of the Hurian Federation.png Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 03:00, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Because your point makes complete sense...
 * 03:09, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't want a full economic report Viva, I want a few simply reasons to why you want it. Or why anyone would want it. Especially you who have to sail all around Africa and then through the Mediterean to get to Eastern Turkey - hence if you use it for crop growing, much of the produce will spoil during the long journey at sea. Though I do agree with your point on Cyprus over-expanding. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 15:30, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, I do get your point, Von. However, what business does Germany have in the area. Venice, its understandable - same with Russia, but Germany? You need to see it from our point too. And who cares what Dean said. No nation is going to willing give up their territory, surrendering or not. [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:21, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, now that I've had a good night's rest, allow me to explain plainly. I don't trust the Arab Federation all that much, and need support in the region along with the resources it can provide, food and minerals included. It is also to help serve as a trophy piece to allow Europe to recognize that Ethiopia is a colonial power worthy of respect, being the only African nation with the power to enforce its will in the Middle East. Plus, I think it to be a fair trade. You got to keep Madagascar, so I get to keep Eastern Antolia. Plus, Italy, Cyprus, and Rome all have to make the same round trip just to get to their own colonies in the Indian Ocean, so why would Ethiopia not be able to do the same? That and the fact that Ethiopia is much closer to the vassal by land than by sea. And Imp is correct on his point as well. Flag of the Hurian Federation.png Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:49, May 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Again I agree, why does Germany want this land? Its too far away to be used for crops, Germany has no historical interest in the land, etc. It should be independent for go to Venice or Russia. Also Dean giving up all that land to Cyprus was a falacy. I think that should be disregarded and it goes to Venice. For the simple reason that you don't give up land like that in real life and also the Cypriots with there all ready massive colonial empire would struggle to control this much more densly populated region. Also your idea of a fair trade is a little invalid as you having Eastern Antolia and Comchellak having Northern Madasgcar aren't really directly related. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 12:47, May 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yea, all Von has to do is go south by sea, lol. But oh well, atleast Ethiopia is taking steps in the right direction, so that is good. And thank you Von, for explaining my point. :D [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 14:52, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

Also, Ethiopia might be be behind others, but he has one of the main victor of the war backing him. So he gets a bit of Turkey. As I go not get much from the Koori, and the Persians suddenly revolt, I'll be laying claim to colonies of other nations who lost in the war.

 * Why should Orissa stop expanding when Venice and Germany are still carving chucks of territory out of the world? Orissa is a colonial empire, never have I read in any history book where a colonial empire stopped expanding. Even when it was weakening, the British Empire continued to do what it could to secure new lands until it was boxed in by other powerful empires.

Clear Russian Victory. Russia can take at most ((72/109)-0.5)*2*100% = 32.11% of the Kuban territory. Russia is able, with a 3 year war, to take 32.11*0.833= 26.75833% of Cossack territory. What pixelage that is is beond me...

France has right to 32,2% of Toulousain territory.

with the 11,1% and 14,5 % gained from the first two wars, the war can last one year, in order to topple the Toulousain government.

Okay Dimurats you're joining right? And note with my algorithm, if it hasn't got a plus or minus sign then its not been done in the algorithm yet (e.g. strength). <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 00:36, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

Yes the peaceful nation of Comchellak that hasn't started a war in its 116 year history of being an Arabian vassal has now cut loose! <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 00:50, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

How does Wales has -7 in recent wars?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 08:57, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

-4 from the war against Leinster and then -3 for that big world war thing. I went through his past posts to make sure. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 11:40, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

I also want to know why they've now got +7 for their tactical advantage score, They get +5 for the larger colonial empire and thats it. When your fighting a nation halfway across the world in your colonies, then the height of your capital won't matter. Especially when I'm trying to capture this one colony of his and nothing else. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 11:52, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

No idea. the supposed "2 for high ground" was here before i edited the algorythm.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 15:48, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

It should only be 3 years for Leinster's war. We started it in 1707, and it ended in 1709. Anyway you look at that, it is 3 years. Also, for the Great War, we declared war in 1702, and our involvement as a leader (vs York and Normandy), ended with the Yorkish capitulation in 1704, which is only 2 years. '''It should only show 5 years, not 7. '''Reximus55 (talk) 18:53, May 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * No on the algorthim you clearly state that the war lasts for 4 years. If it lasts for 3 years then you wouldn't have been able to overthrow Leinster. Your results working out proves that. As for the great war I've re-checked your posts for the time and seems I got the number wrong. Your right its 2 not 3. But the Leinster war was still 4 years, so thats -6 recent war score. There is also your war against the Koori's in 1704 <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:55, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

We should also have a number of infrastructure points, somewhere around 6, since we have had years of building and construction of infrastructure since 15 years ago, 1695, which is when I began playing as Wales. Finally, our form of government hasn't changed in 200 years, so we get a +5, not -5. This needs to be reflected in our score, so I will added 6 points to infrastructure. Reximus55 (talk) 19:01, May 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * You can only gain 1 point per year for either military, economy, expansion, war or infrastructure. You have 6 years of war and the remaining 9 years you mention infrastructure in 4 turns. So thats then 5 points to split between military or economic development.


 * And your government did change because the Dutch invaded and forced a union in 1692. That was a change in government. In fact you declared an empire in 1705 so that should really be the last government change. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:55, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

<Cough cough> Vassals cannot lead wars. They can only lead if the main nation is in a coalition algo with the vassal. Imp (Say Hi?!) 21:27, May 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * No mention of that in the rules page Imp. Not to mention there is no reason why a vassal can't do its own wars. It makes less sense that they can't. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:55, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

Anyway at the moment the algorithm makes no sense, the recent war score is confirmed to be 6. So that means Wales has 9 points to spread over military, economy and infrastructure. Infrastructure was mentioned 4 times by Wales in the last four years so that leaves 5 points to split between military and economy. So what is it going to be? I've fixed it in the most logical way: +4 infrastructure, 3 for military and 2 for economy. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 22:07, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

A break
So, I will be away from this Saturday to next Sunday. Just a heads up so my nations do not fall apart through Mod events, lol. I might ask someone to post for me, if I can. So yeah. I'll be back son enough though, lol. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 21:30, May 23, 2013 (UTC)
