Talk:Principia Moderni (Map Game)

War Algorithm
An updated algorithm can be found on the rules page

Location goes by capital city.
 * at the location of the war: 5
 * next to the location of the war: 4
 * close to the location of the war: 3
 * far from location of the war: 2
 * other side of the world: 1
 * Antarctica: 0

Tactical Advantage

 * attacker's advantage: 1
 * high ground: 2
 * Note: A country receives high ground if:

1) Its capital has a high topographical prominence, meaning it is surrounded by areas of significantly lower elevation. Even plateaus count, but it must be so that the enemy has to climb the mountain to capture the capital.

2) For countries being invaded from the coast, they get high ground if their capital is 300 m or higher.

3) A country invading via sea does not get high ground.

4) A country gets high ground if their capital is more than 300 m higher than the capitals of the neighboring countries.

5) A country invaded from a bordering country, and its capital is 500 m higher or more.

Strength

 * each country on a side of the war: L for leader (+4), M for military aid (+3), S for supplies (+2), V for vassalization or subordination (-1) and then W for withdrawal (-1). So a list of belligerents read like China (L), Zhuang Warlords (MVW), Japan (M), Korea (MW), Hawaiian rebels (MV), Mali (SW), creating a score of 13
 * country has developed military: 1 for each turn dedicated to military or military technology in the last 15 years
 * expansion: -1 for every turn used for expansion in the past 10 years

Motive

 * motive is life or death (country's sovereign existence is threatened): 10
 * motive is religious: 7
 * motive is social or moral: 6
 * motive is political: 5
 * motive is economic: 3

If there are multiple motives, the one told to the army will be selected.

Chance
0 to 9 points will be awarded to each person based on chance. Factors will be the opponent's edit count (on Althist's main articles) and the precise time when the country declares war or acknowledges the other's declaration of war. The product of the non-zero digits of the time by UTC (0:00 yields 1) will be written as a percentage of the opponent's edit count at the exact time of the declaration. If the resulting number is less than one hundred percent, the reciprocal is taken. The result is multiplied by pi and the hundredths digit is the amount of points that person gets (e.g. 123.8377% yields 3). The algorithm is online for fairness, but I will be the moderator.

Other

 * Countries in civil disarray are able to resist invasion by a factor of 1.5. However, they may not take territory in another country.
 * If X countries attack another country, they have to take 100X/(X+2)% of their opponents' territory to facilitate a full government transplant.
 * Expansion into countries not fully united is multiplied by 1.5, but it does not affect how well the country fares in war if it wins the war.
 * Stability bonus points as calculated by the stability moderator.

Stage 3 - huge factories near cities, massive urbanization, mass use of railways, steam powered ships common, electricial experimentation

 * All of Russian territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Swedish territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of French territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Hungarian territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Persian territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Prussian territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Chinese territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Hanthawaddian territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Bharatian territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Korean territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Nipponese territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Vvietnamese territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Incan territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Itsaygahian territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Neue Brandenburian territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Spanish territory + colonies, vassals & puppets
 * All of Napolitian territory + colonies, vassals & puppets

Stage 4 - airplanes and cars, decrease in the factories near cities, more urbanization but focused on towns, electricity used in cities

 * None

Discussion
I have one complaint: according to the list of what you need to do to advance, to get to stage 3 you need to open a rail link. However, for Naples, a nation with large amounts of its territory in islands, and with a significant portion in Africa, and the land being primarily a peninsula, it makes more sense for them to invest in steamships prior to investing in steam trains. So making the first functioning steamships should count as well as making the first rail link. LurkerLordB (Talk) 22:30, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah Nippon is in a similar situation due to all the islands, but I'm just going to do both but with more focus on steamships than trains. Of course I'll do some train lines but steamships are more relevant for Nippon, VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:11, February 14, 2012 (UTC).

I see your point. For Nippon and Naples ONLY, I accept a sea route operated by steam-powered ships.Scandinator (talk) 08:39, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

What about electricity? we have to assume that something like the voltaic pile eventually was discovered?i mean, already is 1818 and nothing about it.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 07:58, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Stability
2.5*Number of digits of population*Time

Time is:


 * 1) Number of years ruled / 10.
 * 2) Plug into: x^1.25/1.25^x.

So take the current United States: 9 digits in population. Ruled for 235 years. Thus:23.5^1.25/1.25^23.5*2.5*9 = 6 points



Graphical representation. Red is 6 digit in population, green is 7 digits, blue is 8 digits, and yellow is 9 digits. The horizontal axis is years and the vertical is bonus points. Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 01:36, October 31, 2011 (UTC) {C}{C When you archive the page again,please don't remove this section. i need to remind how the stability curve is done.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 20:15, November 25, 2011 (UTC)

Due to the vote, in which every voting player agreed, this system will now be used for all nations (however, some changes have been proposed based upon industrialization) LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:54, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Algorithm Results and Moderator Revolts
The new equation for gains from war algorithms is (p)*(1-1/(2x)), where x is the number of the years the war goes on and p is the amount of territory determined by the algorithm ((y/z+y)*2)-1 where y is the winner's score and z is the losers). So if your war lasts one year, you only get 50% of the territory, but if you let the war last five years, you get 90% of the territory.

For mod rebellions or rebellions for new players who want to join, a specific area will be selected. For new players, it has to be a specific ethnic, regional, or national area, but for mod rebellions it will depend on the situation (i.e. for homogenous countries). The algorithm will continue normally, except the territory "owned" by the rebellion will equal half the disputed territory. If the war is a tie, the rebellious country may choose territory from 1/2 of the disputed area.

Stability vote
Since the table is still not up, though its been promised for months, and since whenever Scandinator does promise a deadline, he partially fills the table up and then abandons it for weeks on end to become outdated, I have come to the conclusion he will never get it done, and thus the stability system will never work. Since whenever I attempt to simply bring this up he always makes excuse after excuse and delays for month after month, I am hearby just going to bring forward the motion to a vote to go back to the old system, which we could find out own stability and did not require all algorithms to wait for one player to come up with a number which we have no way to verify whether it is true or not. Voting will end this time tomorrow. LurkerLordB (Talk) 22:33, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Please note that I sympathize with Scandinator being too busy to work on the table. However, if you are too busy for months, too busy for the entire forseeable future, then you are too busy for the job. LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:19, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

You sicken me! CrimsonAssassin 16:01, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

The Thing is that Population and industrialisation, one of the greatest factors in warat this point in history, will not be taken into account,so add some sort of bonus in the algorithm(like a populaiton ratio bonus(10:1 ratio, nation with more gets 10 point bonus), and some sort of industry bonus, Scan is taking too long, and return to the old table or system would be easier. -Lx (leave me a message) 16:27, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

The old stability system factored in population (the equation used the years of the government's existance and the digits in the population as variables). For the industrialization thing, if you can think of a bonus, you can propose it. LurkerLordB (Talk) 21:52, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Oh right, I forgot about eh multiplication that we got rid of. For industry, perhaps we could have the stage of industrialization, multiplied by the poplation ratio to get a bonus, or simply the industrial stage(or difference between industrial stages)Squared as a bonus-Lx (leave me a message) 01:39, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

or if they are equal, the industrial stage squared+the difference in years worked on industry(railways, telegraph systems, factories, industrial tech, etc...) in the past 10 between the warring nations(up to a 5 point bonus), making the maximum industrial bonus 21(4*4+5), and the lowest right now is 9(3*3+0)-Lx (leave me a message) 01:44, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Well, 24 hours have passed, and everyone is either in agreement or hasn't voted. Therefore, I hearby declare the new system null and void and a return to the stability curve hearby in effect. Lx, you should make a new section for "Industrialization Stability/Algorithm bonus" where we can discuss new ideas for that. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:48, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Industrialization bonus for war
For industry, perhaps we could have the stage of industrialization, multiplied by the poplation ratio to get a bonus, or simply the industrial stage(or difference between industrial stages)Squared as a bonus

or if they are equal, the industrial stage squared+the difference in years worked on industry(railways, telegraph systems, factories, industrial tech, etc...) in the past 10 between the warring nations(up to a 5 point bonus), making the maximum industrial bonus 21(4*4+5), and the lowest right now is 9(3*3+0), or we could just use the difference for all of the ones(not only if there is a -Lx (leave me a message) 14:14, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Thoughts? I guess I can make this a vote.

Discussion
I think that this only may be used by wars among player nations.A example of what might happen is if hypothetically, Russia, after updating their industry or similars for five consecutive years tries to invade the southern Shwaili state.given that the AI didn 't post, we will have to put their number of updates a 0. their bonus scores then become like this: SSS: (1x1+0)/R: (3x3+5).- SS: 1/R:14. This, if done correctly, can give a big advantage over industrially weaker states, specially if they are AI.somebody remembers when we used larger numbers for stability, the player nations came to have larger stability numbers than what could ever be acheived by a AI, and then we procceeded to invade such nations (Mameluks, Ottomans, Inca, Hafsids, maybe others). to avoid this to happen again, i think that we should use this bonus for wars among player nations, and not AI-plaayer nations, as i said before.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 16:50, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Or we can use a different system for the AI, and have their color be the Industry, but remember, in history, the European States dominated because of their Industrial Power, and the fact that the industrial armies of The Brittish and the french went up against the industrialy and technologicaly weaker nodal/nomadic states.

I know both nations have vassals and allies and whatnot, but none have posted that they are entering thus far from what I can see, so add them yourselves.

Old Russian colonies support france because they have to. Russians dont realy like it though, but the fracturing party after Mehseryakov's demise will not be good to Charles-Louis in the end.

The French took control of all newfoundland up to Saglek Bay. Ungava is all of Newfoundland which was not taken.It will be referred like this on the future, because after the war, The Newfoundlandians on the main island will form a government of their own, and will not recognize the Newfoundland Ungavan state, and they won't recognize the island state neither.think of Taiwan/China.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 07:26, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

 * 2) I want Haiti, or just a portion of it.
 * 3) I want a portion of Russia's Novorossiya colony.

This wasn't supose to anyone to take any territory, in fact, I wasn't even planning to use algorithms until you create one. The Franco-russian union will fall, but I don't know what to say about the rest. I would like to have Furanchesou, but, if I must give you a part of Haiti, I prefer it the way it is. If you want territory, you can take it over, is your right, you made an algorithm, but you can't demand any territory from Russia. --Galaguerra1 03:59, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Nippon's vassals & puppets I don't think would get involved as they are only really leaning towards this side because Nippon is forcing them. The Commonwealth won't be participating in the war on either side too. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 15:16, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

I will agree to witdraw all territorial claims, and the world returns to satus quo ante bellum. I still insist that the Franco-Russian-Italian union be dissolved, at which time I will sell Furansuchou to the post-Imperialist Frech regime.

Yank 23:40, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

I already agreed with Galaguerra that the Italian portion, at least, would become free very soon after the war (this basically means all pre-war European Neapolitan territory, plus Tunisia and Pahang).

Is it possible that the war would end in a stalemate instead? RandomWriterGuy 19:19, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

No. The entire French side is on the verge of collapsing into revolutions and smaller states, there's no way they could win, especially since with all the people withdrawing the algorithm difference will become huge. LurkerLordB (Talk) 00:32, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

But Persia can keep control of Vicia, since I never really had anything to do with it. You can say the Incan remnant of the population decided they liked the Persians better than the Neapolitans. They'll still be heavily Catholic though. LurkerLordB (Talk) 00:35, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

Please note that my current Shogun is a bit of a tyrant, he's going to be on the French side and try carving out an even larger Nipponese empire by attacking Sweden in the South Pacific, Vietnam's Taiwan & New Lithuanian vassals (as well as blockading the straights of Malacca to stop Vietnamese aid reaching Europe), and Brunei too. However eventually Shogun Iemochi will be overthrown in a coup by the pro-emperor politicians and clans. There will then be a civil war very similar to OTL Boshin War, and the pro-emperor people will set up a new provincial government to rule Nippon until the civil war is over. The Tokugawa forces will be forced into retreat to Kamochatoka, where they will stay for a while, supplied by their Russian allies; but will fall when the Russians stop supplying them.

Scramble for Africa
Songonese scientists are coming in with breakthroughs with cinchona bark (native to OTL Ecuador) as treatment for malaria. As in OTL, this will be one of the main factors to kickstart the exploration and conquest of the interior of Africa. The technology shall become widespread and ready for use throughout the Americas in 1871. The technology is free to use by any European power or colony in 1875, and it is ready to use anywhere else by 1880. Thus, expansion in tropical or marshy areas will be multiplied by 1.5 until otherwise decided.

However, keep in mind that in order for the 1.5 multiplier to apply, you cannot create major settlements except along the coast (i.e. Mozambique, Senegal, etc.) —this is known as indirect rule, for the purposes of our game. This keeps the culture of the interior intact. If you wish to create settlements in the interior (i.e. South Africa), the 1.5 can not apply —this is called direct rule. You cannot mix and match.

More information: if your technological level does not include steamships, then you cannot benefit from the 1.5 multiplier. Also, you are advised to stay along major bodies of water. There is a reason why areas with major rivers were the most sought after in OTL. Do your research!

Make decisions wisely and let the Scramble Begin! Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 03:06, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Contrast that with the Northern African colonies, New Songhai, the South African colonies. I'm saying at most Vietnam will also be included but not Nippon, China, Bharat, Persia and Korea; nations which have not ever expressed interest in Africa and have been more focused on the Americas till now. Maybe they can get a South/North America bonus? NOTE: Sweden has no interest in Africa at this point in time so this comment is on a neutral base.

Notice its the players with EUROPEAN nations opposing changing this? And so what if you haven't had a colony in Africa for a long time? You could say that every time someone sets up a new colony somewhere different. Giving the bonus to just European nations is just biased; I mean are you saying that one of the small German states or Balkan nations has more of an advantage/right than China, Vietnam, Nippon or Bharat in colonizing Africa? The bonus should be based on industrialization or strength of nation: after all not every European country in OTL had African colonies --VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 15:52, April 19, 2012 (UTC).

Sweden cannot take any territory from Russia unless LxCaucassus agrees, as the algorithm was between Vietnam and France, and thus, only France can be forced to lose any territory.

That colony is Russian. Lx you need to pay more attention. Its the one in the Andes. Scandinator (talk) 00:17, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Ou yay! then send all of Russian Vassals and stuff to the aid, and the Colonies dont have much choice, thats Novorossiya, South Africa, Poland-Lithuania-Belarus(personal Union), Kazakhstan, The Iroquois and Armenia. That Sould do it. that would be 13 extra points, I guess...and if its in the Andes, I am pretty sure that it would count as High ground(becasue of the andes mountains being incredibly high), bit Heck, I'm not an expert about the geography of south America. Also, If a colony is being attacked, then I would assume its life or death, and the attacker would not get the Life or death motive(I know I tried to do this, but every time I declred war on Poland its because the throne of Lithuania was "Claimed" by poland...I know that' no better, but every time It was reduced to political motive, so this should not be an exception).-Lx (leave me a message) 00:21, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

and BTW, where is ONguayal anyways? I thought that colony was french...We were the same colour...and If I did get it its probablhy becasue of a tach or land trade, I did not establish any colonies, and did not aid in the war against Hanthawaddy, so...I did not think its mine...-Lx (leave me a message) 00:28, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Onguayal is the country which is in the Bharati colour (although I think that is wrong as it is a semi-independent state). I think it is the French colony (sorry Gal, but I really need a link to the sea), because that is what Gal told me and so did Lx. :/ Imperium Guy 07:30, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

I'l sell you the southern outlet to the sea, but I want to keep most of that land. I've worked hard to expand that colony, and you passed through mine, took the country I was planning to invade (Onguayal) without asking me, and then attacked me when I jsut helped you to obtain that land and didn't protest when you took it. I want at least make all that effot worth and keep most of the land. You'll have an outle to the sea and a way to expand south. --Galaguerra1 17:43, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

When you put it that way, it makes me feel bad. I will agree to your request, but on three conditions (the latter two are silly): I get the southern potion of the colony as shown on the map, cricket is made your official sport and you alert Bharat when you invade Aisac-Loirenne, so we can send you all the supprot we can muster. I think the conditions are not bad and although I might take quite a bit from your colony, you have to see I agreed to negociate and you retain the northern portion of you colony (I would have won otherwise). :/ Imperium Guy 17:59, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

O.o, sorry, I might have exagerated. I accept your terms. The next decade I will probably invade Rhineland, so I'll make you know.

The dark
It is 1880 and based on current colonization speeds by 2012 we will still have "unexplored" areas. I'm saying we really need to speed up all colonization. Scandinator (talk) 01:12, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

I agree, I'm having Dravidia expand Kongo as fast as I can into the Congo basin area, but otherwise much of Africa and parts of South America will still be "unclaimed". LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:38, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Here is my proposal: we have a African, South American,and Australian division conference for the next two turns after this one (1881 and 1882), in which the black areas are divided up. After which, colonial expansion within a nation's colonial claims from the conferences are not bound by colonial expansion, only by plausibility (like normal expansion). Also, expansion within grey areas within Africa and South America are still limited by the colonial expansion, but are treated as if they were black. Expansion in areas not claimed by your nation, and grey areas not in Africa or South America, would still follow the standard colonial expansion equation. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:47, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

If we have two positions, then one of the conferences should be solely for Africa and one for solely South America. Thoughts? :D Imperium Guy 11:05, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

No, Hungary accepts the part of host. explaining the recent events: i was thinking on a way to get Serbia to be independent, as i said that some nation would break off of Hungary in this century.as you know, is Serbia.i got to the conclusion that it will be promoted to a autonomous government on the model of Itsaygahi, but it later, will declare independence.the Albanian movement already stagnated, and will stay like this for some time, but by the time that this emnds, Serbia, Diocleia and Albania wll become something like autonomous provinces, on the way that you saw in Itsaygahi/Tsalagi. eventually, Serbia declares independence, and annexes Diocleia.Albania stays like this until the decolonization proccess begins, when the province will lose importance, and in some time, will also declare independence.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 16:00, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, ok. i think that was me misreading it. But beware, I how have the oppotunity to establish 2 more colonies, so I will be establishing them. It just depends on what areas of Africa I could colonize. :D Imperium Guy 17:37, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

I got it. Maybe by the 1890's, we can establish one colony per year and expand them in rates like 1000000x1000000 sq. mi. or other stuff. RandomWriterGuy 22:40, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

 * Well in OTL, nations had many colonies. Why can't we do the same thing. RandomWriterGuy 14:01, April 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Then we are going to need new rules for expansion. and your proposal, concerning size of expansion, is way off.in one year you could expand one trillion square miles, according to your calculation.this is impossible, even in real life.if you disregard the multiplication, and expand one 1 million square miles, in 10 years, you could annex more territory that the Mongol Empire ever held at it's peak.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 17:18, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

Recent German moderator events
I crossed out Scandinator's recent German moderator events, due to the fact that they are implausible, potentially biased, and another moderator agreed. Here, I am stating my reasons for crossing out this event, as I feel moderator events should only be removed if a good reason is given.

Berlin and Silesia are rising nations, their governments would have the strong support of people who are grateful to be pulled out of decades of civil disarray. There is no way that they would suddenly just collapse and implode like that, since they had been doing so well and expanding for the past several years. The German people are tired of more than 40 years of civil war, anyone who wanted to pull them back into that chaos would have no support. It is clearly implausible

The reason I am bringing up the subject of bias is that, just after Scandinator makes a new German puppet state whose goal he clearly states is to reunite the German area, he has the few rival states which could unite large portions of that area collapse all of a sudden. To me, this implausible event seems to quite plainly be an opportunity for his German puppet state to suddenly swoop in and unite northern Germany. As he has shown a great interest in this area before, and there have been instances in the past of Scandinator being accused (by me) of misusing moderator powers in this area.

I personally think that it is unethical for moderators to be causing moderator events in areas which their nations are interested. If I had posted the event in which Itsaygahi broke apart, and then the very next turn launched a major attack from one of my nations into Itsaygahi, it would clearly have been me using my moderator powers to weaken my foe. If I had caused the Kongo nation to suddenly implode and go black on the map, right before I established my Dravidian colony there, I would have clearly been misusing my moderator powers. Unless the event is historical (like a natural disaster), no moderator should use moderator events to weaken areas in which one of their nations is attempting to expand in, especially if said event is implausible. To do so is unethical. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:37, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

This actually kind of reminds me of the Persian unrest incident. I mean, Scan cannot do it without evidence. In fact, he put it all there without proof, just like right now. SHould we bar him from non-disaster mod events? RandomWriterGuy 01:41, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Persia

 * Angola, Zambia, Southern Congo, Mozambique

Istoias

 * All of the island of OTL Madagascar.

Hungary

 * Dél-Afrika: OTL Orange Free State and Transvaal, sole rights to attack and conquer Zululand and Lesotho.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 15:06, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Vietnam
Yank 18:22, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * East Africa- South Swahili kingdom, the various African states west of that kingdom, and the African nation directly west of Vietnam's East African colony as it stands today. As well as all the territory in between.
 * Kenia- Bale, Puntland, and the unclaimed OTL Eithiopian and Somali territory. Claims Eithiopia and Sennar as client states (will do so next turn).
 * New Samogita (New Lithuania's Africa colony)- OTL Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

Bharat

 * Bharat claims OTL Nigeria and Niger and the uncivilized land in the interior which no nation has managed to get their hands on.

Russia

 * South-West and South Africa, Kongo Nations.(south africa, nambia, botsawana, Angola(Unclaimed), West half of Dem. Rep. of Congo, westernmost Zambia
 * Dravidia already has a colony that has taken much of Kongo, and it is about to take over Ndongo. You can take the ones to the north, but not into the Congo basin.

France

 * The territory between Nouvelle-Gascogne and the korean colony in the south, and territory enough to expand the rest opf the swahili lands, the two african states that would border that territory, and a half of the state that has a coast in the Malawi Lake, and the west coast of that lake.
 * The six states in the north of Songhay, Akon would expand until it borders Guinée, and Ginée would absorb the six states east of it.
 * France-Bharat_Africa_Deal_(PM).pngBharat has already claimed the "6 state" area.
 * I'm not talking about that six states, I'm talking about the small ones near Songhay, the colony I already have there.
 * I think that is OTL Nigeria, and I have already claimed it. Looks at Bharat's claims for Africa.
 * I already ahve colonies in that territory, you don't, I think my claim is stronger. If you want a post there, may be I can give you the bigest state and some more land, around the size of OTL Cote d'Ivoire and Togo?
 * I already have a colony in the area. I have map to see if we both can agree on the borders.

Spain

 * Spain claims OTL Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Morocco

Seminole

 * The state that was formed fromt he former itsaygahian colony and vassals would beocme a seminole protectorate.

Arabia

 * Adal will absorb the former UAA states, and expand until it borders the big state south of Egypt (if Egypt doesn't claims it, then I'll absorb it) and Kenia.
 * Absorb is probably not the right term to use, since Ethiopia Senar, and Bale are very anti-Islamist and won't go down without a full-out war.
 * Ok, "absorb" isn't the right term, but I still claim those lands.
 * I'm thinking on making Ethiopia proper a vassal. i didn't claimed here because i didn't had a idea of how to put it here.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 07:14, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * And do you think that Vietnam will allow Adal to touch their client state? They'd sooner start a war than allow that.
 * You claim the unclaimed somalian territory and Puntland, so you'd be bordering Adal anyway, your objection doesn't make sense. I have been more time in that lands, and, from the three of us, I'm the one who has dedicated more time into the state I have there. Egypt hardly makes any move, and Kenia isn't that old as vassal of Vietnam. I've always worked hard in the Caliphate and its policy, so it is a more developed antion than Egypt or Kenia, and colonial expansionist, so it makes sense to me that they be the ones who take that lands.
 * To be fair, both Ethiopia and Bale and Sennar will much greatly favor Vietnam than the Caliphate, as they hate Muslims. Furthermore, Vietnam has already shown interest in Bale, which your nation hasn't. Also, Galaguerra, you are lying about the situation, as Kenia was a Vietnam vassal for many years prior to the Arabians vassalizing Adal, and Kenia has been expanding a great deal, so you cannot say they are not expansionist. Vietnam also made their claims first in this conference. All of my nations are going to back Vietnam in this conference because they clearly have a stronger claim in this area.
 * Bale is a former UAA state? I really thought it was the southern swahili kingdom that you wanted. In any way, I wasn't talikng about Adal's influence in the region, as I have been trying to influenciate the reigon since the UAA's fall, and also when the UAA existed, spreading muslim propaganda when it was in disarray. If you want so much that lands, then we just divide them, the north state for me, the southern for you, and we split the two in halfway. There's still th eproblem that they hate muslims, but are the governments. I rembemr one of those states was a persian vassal (I think), and their neighboors of the muslim sphere of influence, so at least there msut be a muslim faction in them.
 * None of those states was a Persian vassal. Ethiopia was mostly Ethiopian Orthodox save for a Schmittist minority which was destroyed and driven away. Any Muslims would have fled too Makuria and Sudan (which Makuria defeated and absorbed) were Muslim mostly, and any Christians were converted or fled. Sennar was part Muslim and part Christian, the Muslim part joined Makuria and the Christian part is independent, any minorities in those areas switched halves. Bale followed traditional religions when they first got absorbed by the UAA, and then were converted to Christian. Adal was Muslim, and Puntland is.
 * Fine, keep it, but then I'll keep the black territory in OTL Ethiopia and the two states on Somalia (ones is puntland, what is the other?)
 * Algeria will expand until it border Morocco and absorbs the four states not absorbed by France, so I let space enough to Canariae to expand, at least he wants not to expand (If he doesn't wants that territory, I'll take it).
 * Libya will expand to absorb the two remaining west africans tates until it reaches the border of the current hanthawaddian colony and all in rect line.
 * Nouvelle-Patagonie will keep its current size, except there's any unclaimed territory availible to be claimed.

Brunei

 * OTL Mauritius, Reunion, and the Seychelles.

Wasn't this already all sorted out in the Rotterdam Conference? VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 13:18, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

I think so, but Collie put it in so I think you should ask him. :P Imperium Guy 13:25, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe we just need to update the Rotterdam map to show the changes to all that since the Nippon-Hanthawaddy war and the whole Mesheryakovist wars business. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 13:43, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

If were discussing this again, I'd like to say that Finland has the same claims as in the Rotterdam Conference (and this also extends to the Shogunate of Kōshi, they claim all of the OTL Sulawesi island and small islands around and off the Sulawesi Island) -Kogasa 13:54, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Didnt we already do north america in St Petersburg?-Lx (leave me a message) 12:10, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Oh thanks Kogasa! :D Imperium Guy 13:32, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

That conference was a while ago, however, and some nations with territory claimed there have dropped out, and the claims aren't being followed in any case. LurkerLordB (Talk) 13:35, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Just put in some claims. Is this good? RandomWriterGuy 23:43, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Also sweden was not able to take part in the St Petersburg Conference due to a state of war between Russia and Sweden. The Conference seemed to be started to piss off the Swedish as Russia was able to claim large areas of the Swedish claim with no opposition. Scandinator (talk) 23:49, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Editing past turns
Seriously everyone, if there is a new turn up, edit that one instead. There will always be an active turn at the bottom of the page, so you should never have to edit a past turn. I'm sorry if you like going at the very end so you can reply to everyone, but you know, someone has to go first, and you can reply to the events at the beginning of the next turn. I'm just going to start to undo edits to past turns other than moderators cancelling some implausibility we missed or someone fixing spelling. Again, to repeat, there will never be a situation in which there is not an active turn at the bottom of the page. LurkerLordB (Talk) 23:28, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * You've certainly got my support on this matter lurk, its bloomin' annoying because its got potential to ruin everything what is going on in the current turn. Then to make matters worse, they still don't notice everything else the rest of us posted! ¬.¬ VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:33, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Peninsular Pahang
I just realized this, but the mainland portion of Pahang is still the color of Hungary, when the union with Hungary is broken and Italy controls it directly now. LurkerLordB (Talk) 23:47, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Result
Dravidian victory, Dravidia can take ((77/77+26)*2)-1=50% of the nation of Ndongo at best. The war is going to last two years, so that makes (.50)*(1-1/(2*2))=38%, enough to topple the government of Ndongo easily.

Imperium Guy told me that Bharat would send aid. If forget what their vassals' names are. LurkerLordB (Talk) 03:04, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

How this started?--Collie Kaltenbrunner 15:45, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Should Persia be counted as the leader? I mean, they're jsut surrendering to Bharat, is the Caliphate which is fighting to keep the country in the union. Maybe this should be treated like the swedish succession war, so I have the help of the muslim factions and Bharat has the help of the hindu factions in Persia. If Bharat wins, I'd like to keep the muslim part of Persia, as it wuld be too hard to control for the hindu government anyway. It could become a vassal of mine or just be still controled by RWG, so he'd control two persian states, the one in union with Bharat, and the one in union with the Caliphate. --Galaguerra1 16:50, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Well, here is what I will get from Persia. I will annex the eastern portion and have a puppet government while you keep the western portion as they are too fundamentalist to convert. I think RWG have a hard time editing two Persias, lol. :D Imperium Guy 20:16, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Kazakh Revolt discussion (moved from main page)
I am very pleased to see that this is what I had an edit conflict with...and I mean that in a very sarcastic way. I try to post my response only for it to be in an edit conflict with "russia has more revolts becasue we did not respond to kazakhstan!" I come on to try to fix the kazakhstan thing(they were a seperate nation that I let do anything they wanted and treated very good, i dont understand why they would protest in the first place, especialy with much "russia is good" propaganda everywhere, also with the troops they send consisting almost always of volunteers), and my edit is in conflict with other minorities, to witch I have granted many rights, to come out in protest. that make no sense, especialy since russia has a very good track record of not having many protests or revolts in russia(during this time frame, there were only 3 major ones as i recall, 1905 revolution(witch was becasue everyone wanted contitution), the revolutioin of 1917 and the small pugachev insident. -Lx


 * You didn't respond for three turns to the Kazahk revolts, not counting the time you responded after the turn was up. In any case, your current edit was done past the time, and as was announced on the talk page, I am going to start enforcing this rule. You had several turns before this to protest any implausibility or unfairness of the revolts. Furthermore, multiple nations have been encouraging revolts and sending propaganda into Kazahkstan The event stands, and your late post has been deleted as per the rules and the announcement. If you are on the wiki now, why are you not editting this turn, as it is currently active? -LLB


 * I dont realy like editing before mod events becasue I want to react to them, and I dislike missing turns. And My post was in edit conflict with a mod event. simple. I assume that by this time tommorow, there will be a mod event for the turn, so that I can edit, this one happened to be early. that is one reason i edit later, i cant realy go on untill perhaps 7:30 or 8:00 most of the time for extended periods of time and i want to reply ot mod events, that dont usualy get posted at the begining. I gave powers to the Governates of russia, I gave them power over ceratin aspects of eduction(language) and culture, what else do you want me to do???? massacre them to instill fearful obediance??? from my 1880 post(the first mention of kazakh minor revolts):"Russia sends out anti-Persian-union Propaganda and propaganda that views the russians as the harbingers of freedom and democracy to the people of Kazakhstan, with the small price of having to support russia's military at all costs." I did respond to the situation, and in 1883 felt the need to remind that I actualy did respond to the situation. -Lx'''
 * '''Generally, I put up events soon after or with the heading. You should edit whatever turn is active at the time. If Scandinator puts up some event later than the main ones come up, you could always respond the next turn (before the next wave of moderator events come up, so I'd see your response below and factor that in). Just because Kazakhstan revolted now doesn't mean that war is the only option, if you send counter-propaganda you could probably cause people who are Christian or moderate Muslim or otherwise Russified to revolt from the Kazakhs and regain part of Kazakhstan, at least the northern half -LLB
 * Look, I gave them the south in my other post that got deleted. I already got into a rythm of at around 8-10(1-3 hours after UTC 00:00 depending on the DST) to edit because mod events werent always posted right when the year started, and generaly, that was the leniancy with witch you were able since when i started playing, it will probably take a week or so to ajust. and I wouldnt think that the no edit would be this "nothing after 00:00" and whoever posted the mod event where large scale revolts happened, "they will fight to the death" kind of implied that if I dont go to war, they will seperate, so it was in a way implied that war was the only option. I dont want to leave the things I edited for this turn, and, please, just put this stuff in the talk page so that it doesnt clutter up the space where people post their turns...i dont want them to be dragged into my issues. -Lx
 * They swear they will fight to the death, but that doesn't mean that they all will be unified.  You can keep your post this one time, and I will be more lenient this week as long as your posts don't contradict anything posted. -LLB
