Principia Moderni III (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, was a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming Dynasty in China - in 1400 C. E, a turbulent era; in other words, an era of change; an era in which power is cemented. The first game was perhaps the most successful map game on the wiki in terms of length, finishing without dying and plausible expansions. However, it did have its problems, and has now finished. The second game, instead of being a worthy successor to the first, was marred by over-expansionism, feuds between players, ambiguity in the rules, which often caused controversy on wars between player nations, over-competitiveness, and overall inactivity of the moderators, but was nevertheless successful in reaching the Modern Age. And thus, this third installment has been created. Welcome to Principia Moderni III!

''' The game will start at 00:00 UTC in 1st of February.Do not post turns until then. '''

''' With Europe recovering from the ravages of the Black Death and the Middle East pulling itself apart in war, the Ming Empire stands as the mightiest nation on Earth. Its rule is unsafe though as they are surrounded by hostile Mongol tribes and the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty to the north, Japanese pirates to the east, Timur and resentful tributary states to the west and an unstable South East Asia to the south. Only time will tell if China can maintain its position. '''

''' Japan remains in the middle of a civil war with rival daimyos and the shogun clashing forces across the country. In present-day Korea, King Jeongjong of Joseon abdicates in fear of an attack by his ambitious younger brother, Taejong. Taejong succeeds to the throne. Prince Parameswara establishes the Malacca Sultanate in present-day western Malaysia and northern Sumatra. Child emperor Trần Thiếu Đế is forced to abdicate as ruler of Đại Việt in favour of his maternal grandfather Hồ Quý Ly, ending the Trần Dynasty and starting the Hồ Dynasty. Hồ Quý Ly subsequently changes the country's name to Đại Ngu. '''

''' India remains a battleground as Hindu and Muslim nations clash with each other. The balance of power may fall to either side depending on what happens next. Although with the recent Timurid sack of Delhi and the crippling of the Delhi Sultanate, the balance may tilt to the Hindus. '''

''' Henry of Bolingbroke crowns himself Henry IV after successfully deposing Richard II the year earlier. One cause of Richard's unpopularity had been his reluctance to continue the war in France. Henry is aware of this and plans to resume hostilities, however he is plagued with financial problems and declining health. Henry IV of England quells the Epiphany Rising and executes the Earls of Kent, Huntingdon and Salisbury and the Baron le Despencer for their attempt to have Richard II restored as king. The deposed Richard II of England dies by means unknown in Pontefract Castle, likely from starvation. '''

''' England becomes confronted with repeated raids by pirates that heavily damage trade and the navy. Some advisors begin convincing Henry IV to use state-legalised piracy as a form of warfare in the English Channel. Privateering campaigns to pressure enemies without risking open war also become an option. '''

''' The French respond by using French pirates, under Scottish protection, raiding many English coastal towns. In the meantime Charles VI of France continues descending into madness and an open conflict for power begins between his uncle Philip “the Bold”, Duke of Burgundy, and his brother, Louis, Duke of Orléans. '''

''' The regime change also prompts action from Scotland, which begins raiding northern England. Many begin fearing an all out invasion. In Wales, Owain Glyndŵr is declared Prince of Wales. He begins the most serious and widespread rebellion against English authority in Wales since the conquest of 1282–3. Henry “Hotspur” Percy, son of the Earl of Northumberland, leads English incursions into Scotland, leading to the English occupying Edinburgh in Scotland, but so far failing to capture Edinburgh Castle. '''

''' The princes of the German states vote to depose Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia as Holy Roman Emperor due to his weak leadership and mental illnesses. Frederick, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg is declared as a rival to Holy Roman Emperor Wenceslaus. However, Frederick is murdered shortly after. Rupert III, Count Palatine of the Rhine, is elected as Holy Roman Emperor. '''

''' The Italian Peninsula is dominated by Naples and Milan while the Papal States sit as a neutral buffer zone. Meanwhile the rich trading nations of Florence, Venice and Genoa are struggling to maintain their footholds in the East Mediterranean Sea against the armies of the Ottoman Turks. With the new threat of Timur, these Christian nations may need to help the enemy they know against the enemy they don’t. '''

''' Timur defeats both the Ottoman Empire and the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt to capture the city of Damascus in present-day Syria. Much of the city's inhabitants are subsequently massacred by Timur's troops. Timur conquers the Empire of The Black Sheep Turkomans (Qara Qoyunlu), in present-day Armenia, and the Jalayirid Sultanate in present-day Iraq. Qara Qoyunlu ruler Qara Yusuf and Jalayirid Sultan Ahmad flee and take refuge with the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I. Timur plans to invade the small Christian kingdoms and to expand his empire across Anatolia and to eventually conquer Mongolia and China. '''

''' In Eastern Europe, the standoff between the Ottomans and the Romans at Constantinople continues. Emperor Manuel II continues his journey across Europe, seeking aid against the Ottomans. France already responded, and sent three ships and 1,200 men to defend the city. '''

''' Across the world, global climate cooling begins the decline of the Mississippian great city of Cahokia and the Anasazi civilization in OTL Colorado. Both great civilizations begin sending scouting parties to determine the extent of the bad harvests. The Kanem Empire and Great Zimbabwe in Africa also begin to decline with Lake Chad, the source of power for the Kanem, shrinking and drying up. '''
