Principia Moderni (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, is a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming dynasty in China--1420 C. E...The House of Hohenzollern have become the Electorates of Brandenburg--though most of the power in the Holy Roman Empire still lies with the Habsburgs, Joan of Arc has defeated the English at Orleans, the city of Tenochtitlan is founded by the Aztecs, the Timurid Empire has united Central and West Asia, and the Yongle Emperor sends out Zheng He to voyage westwards. It is a turbulent era, in other words, an era of change, and an era in which power is cemented.

 * Naples uses the funds from the reparations from the Swedish war to repair all damage they recieved from the war. They use the extra (that would have gone to fix the boats, but Sweden did it for them) to expand their army. They focus on the forces trained to defeat colonial uprisings. Speaking of colonies, Naples expands both of their colonies by 400 square kilometers. Ricasolia is getting closer and closer to being connected between the two parts, and many think that soon it will be contiguous. Meanwhile, Istoias expands northward along the east coast of Madagascar by 400 kilometers squared.
 * China honors the new deal with Manchuria and increases military presence in Manchuria for the protection of China's new vassal, while recycling the troops in Aztec lands with some troops from China. Lines are resupplied and the Chinese make considerable gains against the Aztecs this year. By the end of this year, the last Aztec Emperor is killed and the Aztec empire surrenders.
 * Checking the third archive. Turns out I had destroyed the Aztecs last algorythm. Check the very bottom. I was just making a new algorythm before I noticed it.
 * In the Commonwealth, new King-Emperor Frederick II is angry that the Swedes refuse to hand over control of the Netherlands, instead offering back territory that already belonged to the AGC. However, he offers to only take Friesland and Groningen, allowing Sweden to keep their major ports. Meanwhile, Atlantis expands by 25*50 sq km, making it officially larger than Neue Brandenburg.
 * Look you gained East Oldenburg which was meant to be Swedish and also Prussia; a compensation of 2 million kronars and the free rebuilding of your navy to 1690 standards. Is that not enough??? All I get of you is only Jutland and a bit of Holstein... and check the map!AGC.png
 * The Vietnamese continue their campaign of military expansion. They request that the Swedes accept the Anglo-German terms, as they are much better than anyone in Sweden's position can expect.

 * Swedish king Charles X states enough is enough and rejects the AGC territorial claims. He asks Frederick to recheck his atlas before making false claims. The AGC is already getting the same amount of territory off Sweden to compensate for Jutland and also 2 million kronars and a complete refitting of their fleet. Sweden asks AGC also not to go into Dutch areas. Sweden and Denmark embark on military expansion. Asgard is expanded by 2300 sqkm.

The Danish spend the year bringing the colony back into civilisation and order from the civil disorder and tribal system that had developed.
 * Russian Tsar continues to improve the military bringng in European Generals to improve training and makes a new, European Style Uniform for the troops, but in green, and sends cossack forces to capture more of the siberian steppe, hoping to control it by 1700(HOPING). More to come

 * France has no problem. It will be ally of Sweden anyway.
 * Venice continues to upgrade its military by building the wall however just at the end of the year the original plans are cut down so that the construction can be finished next year while the walls will not be as impregnable as planned they will provide a decent defencive structure.
 * The Incas continue to upgrade their military and expand their homelands. A great Incan general begins to settle the quarreling tribes, by killing their leaders primarily, or by burning their villages. The new leader rules by an Iron fist to regain control of the Incan empire.

 * The Persian government, aiming for a widespread empire, increase the size of their army and prepare an invasion of the Indian States.
 * Katimon expands west along the southern coast at 1000 sq km. Bi Hloa expands east along the south coast at 500 sq km. Hanthawaddy upgrades its economy, repairing the damage over the past several years. A new fleet of merchant ships are built by the government and sold to wealthy nobles, leading to the creation of the first private companies in Hanthawaddy. The new age of art and literature begins to show signs of bringing about a more individualistic and Western outlook on life.

1691

 * China sends supplies to the former Mayan and Aztec lands for rebuilding. Most of the military in the area is sent back home, while others decide to volunteer to be part of the growing militia. In China, a party for the military is thrown. The heavy support for the military and a wave of nationalism strikes China, boosting the economy. This boost is what saved China from going into a financial crisis due to the long war.
 * Russian Tsar Peter I Hires European Generals To Train New Russian army in the modern style. Russian Cossacks succesfuly Capture All land west of Baikal(one of the main reasons being sparse population, and I have been expanding here for a long time). Russian Schools. Russian Tsar Peter Founds Moscow State University(starts building) and Hires Isaac Newton to be a proffessor in the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Academy is to be a separate institution than the University. Russian Tsar Peter sets out to improve the overall Russian way of life and Bring it up to European standards.

 * The Venetians finish the smaller wall and upgrade their infantry again by increasing the ammount of nobles and therefore the army. Cinque isole gets an influx of settlers and expands 1550 sq km.
 * You aren't allowed to just take over another user's nation like that, without at least bringing it up on the talk page. If Kunarian really did request you take over his nation, you should ask permission on the talk page first.
 * Naples expands their military, creating a whole new force designed for land combat and occupation. As this force is being built, both Istoias and Ricasolia are expanded 400 square kilometers. When the force is finally done, they assemble outside of the city of Brindsi. Angelo goes to the city and looks over the new force, and he is pleased. He then goes to back to the house of a nobleman nearby. However, as he enters is room, a servant woman pulls out a throwing knife and hurls it at Angelo's neck. The king is killed by the attack, and the assassin leaps from a window. From examining the dead body, the Neapolitan officials realize it was really a man in disguise, and he was of North African descent. A sorrowful and enraged King Carlo VI later announces to his allies that they determined that the man was from Hafsid Tunis. He wrathfully declares that the Muslim Hafsids struck down his father because he was a Christian monarch. Naples declares war upon the Hafsid sultanate, regretfully informing their allies in Algeria that they must concentrate all their forces upon annihilating this nation that dared to strike down their king.
 * Persia declares war against Kashmir and begins to siege the capital. The Kashmiri armies fight off the Perisan Army, but outnumbered and outpowered, they fall to Persian forces. In a few months, the Persians take over the capital, along with half of Kashmir. The remaining part holds on against Persia.
 * I wish it was that easy, but we've got an algorithm for war. To add to that, taking an entire nation in one turn is very implausible. I'll plug in an algorith for you against Kashmir ASAP, though. CrimsonAssassin 22:31, October 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * O.K. I am very sorry. I will revise my move. Thank you. RandomWriterGuy 22:39, October 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * As Minister of War, I help with/do the algorithms and you have annexed 27.7% of Kashmir. If you attack them again in another war within 100 years you will probably be able to overthrow them.Scandinator 12:48, October 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * The king James I of France transform the algerian territories under his autority in the Sultanate of Algeria, ruled by the sultan Suleiman, who was allowed to rule the vassal state, if in exchange allow the french control, the christian missions and respect the rights of the christian people in the Sultanate (the king of France will do the same with the arabic people in his realm). The half of the algerian territory is given to Burgundy. The colony of Malouinas is expanded 2000 sqkm. The prince Jeanne convince the king James to send troops to support the neapolitans against the Hafsids.
 * The Algerians have not been fully conquered as due to Naples leaving. You can only annex 18% therefore the total is 31% which does not meet the required target of 33.3%. 
 * Commonwealth King-Emperor Frederick II decides to accept the Swedish terms simply to avoid another round of war with the Swedes. He accepts the French trade agreement but says that he cannot assist in Algeria because his troops are just finishing a war of their own. More settlers begin to move into Prussia as it becomes a part of the nation. Neue Brandenburg expands by 10*50 sq km.
 * Sweden and her vassals send aid and supplies to Persia, France and Naples. Denmark and Sweden continue military expansion.

 * The Vietnamese declare war on the Irish after an Irish warship sank a ship containing an important diplomat on his way to Vietnam's local allies. The Irish had continued to kill any shipwrecked Vietnamese sailor found on Irish territory, and this incident was the last straw. With Venice occupied with their own problems, the Vietnamese take the opportunity rid themselves of their Irish issues. The massive army created for the Persian War is deployed to Furansuchou to invade the fanatical theocratic Irish dictatorship.

1692

 * The Vietnamese army makes landfall in Ireland and begins the invasion of the theocratic dictatorship. The Vietnamese send an ambassador to Persia to try to solve the diplomatic issues gathered over the last 15 years.
 * China will accept the deal in exchange for eastern Khasakstan. However, they offer a strong economic alliance with Russia. Meanwhile, rebuilding in Dōng guǎngchǎng (Mayan/Aztec colonies) continues.make it west changitistan and we have a deal. Il post a map before 5:00 EDST(-4h UTC)...so 9:00 UTC? I will probably post it...before 5:00 EDST(Eastern Daylight Savings Time)
 * Sounds good. Where do you want the split? OTL borders?
 * Here's a first draft of the map. Its prety much liek OTL. you can change some stuff, and the west part is purely for teh conveniance of having Kazakhstan and Russia Proper attached by land.
 * Looks great. However, the area touching the Caspian Sea is pretty important. If I give that area up, could you send me some tech when the industrial revolution hits (Beijing in the red area of the industrial revolution spread map)? I'd also like to propose a military and economic alliance.
 * as long as its only beijing because of very increased trade. and alliances accepted.
 * DealDivision_of_Stuff_copy.png
 * France expands Haiti 2000 sqkm. The sultan Suleiman and the king James send troops to support Vietnam, and asks the vietnamese and hanthwaddian help in Algeria.

Though I do not conquer the whole Algerian territory, the territory under my control undergo the changes I previously mention.
 * Sweden and her allies attack Ireland in support for Vietnam. Unfortunatly a Swedish navigator made a mistake and lands in Scotland which is promptly invaded by part of the Swedish army and its allies. The remainder of the army reaches Ireland and attacks the Irish. Holaand expands by 2300 sqkm. New Denmark expands by 50 sqkm.
 * It's not Scotland, is Ireland.
 * ​Before advancing anymore throughout Kashmir, the Persian army occupies the conquered area to search and destroy any resistence. To prevent uprisings in the area, the Persian government passes a law that gives religious and racial tolerance to everyone.
 * Start with religious tolerance. Religious equality is unheard of.
 * I am very sorry. Thank you.
 * Hanthawaddy exemplifies a transition into a more individualistic lifestyle as a large number of Mons in cities begin to purchase other buildings as property, submitting many to servitude. Bi Hloa expands east by 1000 sq km, and Katimon north by the same amount. Some people living in Toeh Ngoa Nyoing become concerned with overfishing near some towns, and thus, several laws are enacted governing when commercial fishing can take place.
 * Neapolitan troops seize the Island of Malta from the Hafsids, and use it as a stepping stone as they attack the Hafsid nation itself. They send a naval fleet to begin to bombard Tunis in order to take the seat of the Hafsid government. The Tunisian fleet is weak and easily destroyed by the fleet from Naples. Troops land in Hafsid territory in order to launch a massive land attack and cut Tunis off, but they are unused to the terrain and do not advance very far. They thank Sweden for their aid in the war, and state that they do not fight in this war due to a desire for territory. Therefore, they will not take all of the conquered territory, and will give some to any Christian allies that aid them in the war.

1693

 * The Vietnamese conquer the Irish capital of Dubh Linn, and the remainder of Irish reistance collapses. The Vietnamese put the Irish High Chieftain and the rest of the Irish ruling elite on trial for the numerous crimes that lead to the Irish War. They also find evidence of scores of hideous crimes inflicted apon their own people. All of the people on trial are convicted and sentanced to death by hanging, which is carried out on the anniversary of Venice's disgraceful interferance with the rightful outcome of the war. Most of the Irish national government is executed to prevent a potential Venetian-backed coup from taking place. The members spared by Vietnam are the ones who expressed regret for their government's numerous crimes. These people have agreed to exile in any one of the Vietnamese colonies as part of their punishment. Most chose the Vietnamese Carribean colony due to its tropical temperatures.
 * Naples sends word congratulating Vietnam on stopping the rogue Christian nation of Ireland. Meanwhile, they continue to send forces to Tunisia to avenge the death of their beloved king. King Carlo VI states that the Crusade has already begun, and these wars against Algeria and Tunisia are the battlegrounds. He swears that the Hafsids will fall, even if it requires Naples ending the current war and building up their military for a second war. Unlike the Persians in Kashmir, religious tolerance is no aspect of this crusade, and mosques and Qu'rans are burned by the Neapolitan forces in their rage, with thousands of civilian casualties. They seek to avenge the Muslims' murder of their king upon the religion. Just want to make sure that everyone knows that I am not some crazy anti-Muslim, just the Neapolitans in this game are.
 * Naples can annex all of the Hasfids.
 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth declares its support for the Vietnamese invasion of Ireland, as truthfully the Commonwealth has wanted to do the same thing for a long time. In the North, the Scots become more warlike as their major enemy falls, and in Northumbria there are fears of a Scottish invasion which are luckily unwarranted (for the time being). The Commonwealth military is built up in case fo Scottish invasion.
 * Swedish parlimentary officials are horrified when thry hear of the accidental diversion of part of the fleet. However as reports arrive on the Swedish victories in Inverness and Loch Ness the tension disappears. In Ireland, Swedish troops land in the north and south. Belfast and Cork fall to Swedish forces. Sweden asks the AGC and France to help take out the rogue state of Scotland. Sweden proposes to split the British Isles in this manner. Sweden is shaken by the sudden unexpected death of Queen Ulrika Eleonora. Sweden however still manages to expand Hodlaand by 2300 sqkm and Denmark expands New Denmark by 50 sqkm.
 * The Vietnamese give the Swedes a counter-offer they will recognize the Swedish claim to Scotland in exchange for Swedish recognition of the Irish claim to all of Ireland. ^They offer to purchase the territory Sweden took in Ireland for a very generous price, as they had basically conquered Ireland before Sweden invaded.
 * Deal. Only if you help me take over Scotland. Also the AGC can receive all of England if they help.
 * I've pretty much allready conquered Ireland.
 * Hungary continues to update its military in general, including the garrisons on Újfundlandi and India. Meanwhile, Greece also updates its navy and army,fearing a Napolitan invasion.Neos Preveza expands 650 sq km.Öböl expands 500 sq km, and Ezsák-Afrika expands 1550 sq km south. Meanwhile, Greece severes diplomatic ties with Naples.Protstantism grows on Hungary.
 * Itsaygahi encourages the efforts of Natchez, as it expands along the Mixxixxippi. Itsaygahi itself expands northwards, into OTL Maryland,
 * China amps up its military, setting up a huge army near Khosut upon learning of a final surviving Khanate. Meanwhile, rebuilding efforts in Mayan/Aztec colonies continue.
 * James I of France lead a campaign expanding the colony of Haiti 2000 sqkm. The sultan Suleiman sends ambassadors to negociate with the Pope nad other christian communities a post-war status of tolerance and mutual respect after the crusade. The prince Alphonse asks Vietnam to purchese the territory of Rochefort (he asures the vietnamese respect the laws that they establish there, and the non-christian citzens of the territory will be freemen). Also asks to Naples a tiny part of the hafsid territory for the cooperation of the Sultanate of Algeria (I supported you, but it did not appear in the algorithm), France will pay for the lands that Naples give to Algeria. Is created a parliament, a permanent government conference, which is formed by the House of Peers (nobility), the House of the Faith (clergy) and the House of the Plebeians (elected leaders of people's assemblies and rich people of the cities).
 * I will add you to the algorithm, as this war is far from over
 * The Perisan government prevents any more inasions on Kashmir so that the military can be updated. It asks for military aid from Russia and China, and signs a non-agression pact between the two nations.
 * Am I doing this wrong? Please tell me.
 * Yes. you should dedicate more turns to update your military to then invade and conquer the country succesfully.
 * I am very sorry. I will change my previous move.
 * Russia falls into celebration as Ivan IV's daughter, Anna is born. Peter prepares for the trade of territory for an unusual demand for a great tech advancement when it is proven(this came from chinese astrologers that convinced the emperor to add this to the agreement in exchange for loosing control of the caspian sea). Peter starts planning for a great in cognito voyage to europe which will later be known as the great embassy. Peter Continues modernizing the russian army and their weaponry, improving their tactics and hiring more generals to train a conscript-based army. PEter Orders a complete overhaul of the Russian Navy.

1694

 * The Vietnamese send most of the army in Ireland to Scotland, where they provide as much asistance as possible to the Swedes. This is done in recognition of Sweden's asistance in the Irish War. The sole condition of their involvement is that Vietnam gains the territory taken by Sweden in Ireland.
 * Hungary joins the Hafsid War, and try to get some territory on OTL Libya, centered on the city of Tripoli.the plan is give the territory to Greece after the war is over.However, Greece does not joins the war.instead, updates its navy, still trying to avoid a possible Napolitan invasion.most of its warships are placed on the Morean coast.Hungary also sents a message to Vietnam, declaring that it will support it on the war against Ireland, in trade for the Irish colony on the island of Újfundlandi, which is seen as a obstacle on the objective of claiming the whole island to Hungary.Hungary offers a alliance to Denmark.the administrative control of the colony of Neos Preveza is officially given to Greece.Öböl expands 600 sq km west, Uruguay expands 1150 sq km south and north inland, and India expands 1000 sq km inland.
 * Naples: With the Hungarians and Swedes attacking the Libyan portion, and the Franco-Burgunidan-Algerians invading from the west, the Hafsids are forced to divide their forces in order to combat all of these foes. This allows the Neapolitan generals to surround the city of Tunis, and begin the seige of the Hafsid capital.
 * China's military is mobilized to the Khosut/Chinese border, though not sent into Khosut. The Khosuts know practically nothing of this. In September, several hundred cannons are brought to the lines. Meanwhile, rebuilding in the Mayan/Aztec colonies continues.
 * The Sultan of Algeria is focus in end the last rebelions in his territory (I need someone to finish the algorithm) and sends troops to support Persia. James I travel to Rome to talk with the Pope about the invasion to Egypt after the war against the Hafsids and Zyyynids. The prince Alphonse travel to Greece to talk about a possible alliance. The french-algerian army builds up its military.
 * France can annex all of Algeria.
 * Persia foritifes the eastern border next to Kasmir to prevent suspected Kashmir invasions.
 * Hanthawaddy sets up a settlement at OTL Ishigaki at 50 sq km, which would be a major point on the route to the northeast passage. Hanthawaddy explores the Kuril Islands and the Sea of Okhotsk, giving each of the Kuril Islands Mon names. During the year, the Raja of Toeh Ngoa Nyoing dies of double pneumonia and is succeeded by his son Hkun Maha Doing.
 * After a russian naval ship encounters the Slaver Hanibal, The Russian navy persues it and pushes it into an iceburg, becaue of it not wanting to get caught, and the russians just wanting to know who or what it was carrying. 300 of the slaves on board were rescued and emidiately transported to Novorossiya, and after being well fed, and given proper treatement for whatever injury or desease tey had recieved were given a chopice: live in Russia and its colonies(one of them situated in africa) or be returned from here they came. about 35% of them returned to their homeland, and the others decided to live in protection by the anti-slavery Russians, 50% of those who decidced to stay were transported in luxury to Afrikanskaya zemlya and the others in luxury to Russia proper, where they would later decide where to go. Peter I decrees that only modern europeans ships may be used in the russian navy, save the koch and any ship the spetsnaz wishes to use. After hearing about the mon names of the kurils, the russian tsar sneds the Mon Emperor a letter with the writen declaration of his father's clame to the Kurils and Shalin, along with their russian names. Peter decides to reshape the russian navy, and starts decomissioning the old ships and replacing them with new ones. Peter orders this: For three hundred and tewnty five of the finest galley ships to be made, to the european style, and they should be armed with the newest guns and mortars, with the crews armed with musketoons. Retraining of the army along with cossacks capturing siberia continues.
 * Sweden has captured Northern Scotland and the royal family but the nobles in York still resist. Sweden switches tactics and defends currently gained territories. Meanwhile Denmark and Sweden expand their militaries and Thorlaand expands southward also Hudson Bay by 2300sqkm.

1695

 * Naples celebrates the fall of Tunis, for the besieged Hafsids in the city finally have run out of food and were forced to surrender. The Hafsid king and many other government officials are executed for conspiracy to assassinate King Angelo. The victorious King Carlo VI declares that the Hafids have forfeited their right to rule over land. In memory of the martyred Angelo, northern Hafid lands are taken and turned into the Neapolitan puppet-state of Tunisia. The western lands are given to the Sultan of Algeria, Tripoli and the surrounding areas are given to Greece in hopes of easing tensions with that nation, and the eastern areas are given to Sweden.

France continues build up the military technology. One of the sons of the king James, Jean, duke of Noyon, is ordained, and the king asks for his naming as Archbishop of Avignon (enclave of the Papal States in France). The french state, and the Sultanate of Algeria "in apologies for its heresy and cruelty" and "hoping the mutual respect and acceptation between the catholicism and the islam" donate huges quantities of money to the christian chruch, and vassalship to the Papal States, and pay annual taxes to the church (at least, a 5% of the total annual gains of the two States).

 * France insists to Vietnam to sell Rochefort.
 * Hungary will give support to Vietnam in trade for the Irish colony on OTL Newfoundland.

 * Lithuania, Livonia and/or Kazakhstan can give you suport- Lx'

Meanwhile, King Carlo begins to prepare for the eventual Crusade. He sends word to France that the Mamluks are the only prominent Sunni Muslim nation left, and that the Shi'a in Persia and Itsaygahi are not a threat. He states that they should work hard for the next decade, preparing their militaries for the invasion of the Mamluk Sultanate. He adds that they appear to no longer be able to rely on Venice to help them in the war, as they have ceased to be active in foreign affairs. The Pope begins to divert money being sent to the church by Algeria to strengthen the division of the Catholic Church in the Crusader state of Jerusalem

 * you have a colony in California?i thought that it was Joseon who had one in California.unless that you annexed it when it went inactive.
 * Where is the colony??? It's not on the external territory page. If it is the one directly south of mine, Denmark was gonna claim it this turn.
 * It's on San Fransisco Bay. I founded it as an outpost years, if not centuries, ago. I'm just returning to it because I have another colony to found. And last thing I heard Joseon's colony is in Oregon, and not California.
 * The Commonwealth has the colony in California.
 * The Vietnamese colony or the Joseon colony?
 * Sorry, I'll rephrase that. The Commonwealth has a colony in California. OTL Eureka.
 * Yes but it was just a trading post, not a colony. Creating the colony takes one turn. And it doesn't make sense for a colony to immediately expand 1400 sq km. There is not enough resources yet. -DK
 * France is building up its military, creating new military orders and new technologies. James I sends word to Carlo IV, his brother-in-law, asking three things: 1. For petition of the sultan Suleiman, he asks the respect of the native tunisian religion under the mentorship of the Sultan of Algeria. 2. The sending of missioners to the non-christian lands of the French colonial empire. 3. The permition to start himself the war against the mamluks in a decade. Also, the french insist that they weren't annoying with the vietnamese and they just want the land of Rochefort again, with no agression, and the king is open to a negative answer and no decleare any hostility to Vietnam or its empire. The sultan of Algeria send words to Persia and Itsayghi asking alliances for a new world where the Islam and the Christianity live together in peace and friendship.
 * Naples, which has no problem with Persia and Itsayghi, for it was the Mamluks they fought in Cuba and the Hafsids who struck down their beloved king, somewhat accepts. However, King Carlo VI states that he will let the Tunisians practice the Shi'a branch of Islam, that of the Persians and Itsgahi, but not the Sunni branch of the Hafsids. He agrees they should prepare for an eventual crusade.
 * More Islamic Tunisians arrive to Tripolitania, following the Napolitan decision of making Christianism the official rligion of Tunisia.While Greece stays in alert, Hungary returns to updating its military.In the start of the year, Géza declares support for Vietnam on its war with Ireland, although the war is mostly over.the garrisons on Újfundlandi invade the Irish colony on the island.Dél-Afrika expands 500 sq km.the southern settlement on Újfundlandi és a Labrador expands 400 sq km, Öböl expands 750 sq km inland, and Eszák-Afrika expands 1050 sq km south and north.Hungary asks for a alliance with Denmark once again;

His son Charles XI succeeds him at the young age of 15. Denmark's ruler Chistian V starts to behave suspiciously. Unknown to Sweden, Denmark offers Russia, Naples and the AGC alliances to take down the Swedish domination of the Baltics.

1697

 * Naples sends more money to the church, as well as large amounts of money from the conquered Hafsids. The Pope accepts some of this money; however, large amounts are redirected to the Catholic Church of Jerusalem. This results in the Church there being the wealthiest and most powerful group in the state, even stronger than the Venetian merchants that dominate the city. They accuse the Venetian nobleman who was given rule over the city of heresy, and he is tried and jailed by the Catholic Inquisition. As Venice is silent, the Catholics ask King Carlo VI of Naples to appoint the next ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the southernmost Crusader state. Carlo appoints a trusted friend of his, making Jerusalem a puppet state of Naples and an ideal launching point of the Crusade.
 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth is found to be urbanizing (but not nearly to the extent of industrial revolution) in the latest census. Preperations are made to defend the Indian colony after repeated border incursions from the Mughals.

 * China bombards more cities heavily. While this act would normally be condemned by humanitarians, the Mongolians are generally seen as evil and must be eliminated. The Fifth Mongolian War is highly popular among Chinese citizens.
 * Upgraded persian armies, combined with the efforts of Russian, Lithuanian, and Livonian armies, successfully defeat Kashmirian armies in eastern Kashmir. After this, the Kashmirians are forced to accept Persian rule.
 * The king James of France offers to the king-emperor of the Commonwealth an alliance. The french army is still improving itself. The king of France asks again for the designation of his son, Jean, as Archbishop of Avignon. The Parliament approves the freedom of the Algerian people to practice any religion they want, but the military service is obligatory for at least ten years, except to the Christians and Schmittists (recognized in this realm, not in France, where the military service is obligatory to them). The Sultan accepts this temporary. The Islamic and Schmittists french start to be concentrated in the colonies and the sultanate of Algeria.
 * Jean is appointed Archbishop of Avignon and head of the French branch of the Catholic Church
 * The Commonwealth accepts the French alliance, although to remove confusion if France goes to war with any of the Commonwealth's other allies (Naples, Papal States, Russia, Hungary, China, Denmark) the Commonwealth will remain neutral or side with their older ally.
 * The Russian Tsar Peter I decides to have a portrait done(the one seen on the Russia page) before he starts his journey, the portrait will later be sent to the Anglogerman Emperor-King as a gift. First he visits Hungary, where he reafirms his alliance. Then it is for to France, where he is visiting in cogneto. HE spends most of his time in voyages of simple ships, and pops by venice to learn great shipbuilding skills, which he then sends to Russia's navy shipbuilders.

Overhaul of navy continues along with the training of a professional army. Novorossiya expands its borders along the shores of the atlantic by 1500km north and south. The Army general mentioned by Venice by the name of Efgeni Davidov meets Ovchenko, who emidiately decides to take him in and work with him on his steam project.

Peter Wants the first Russian University to be amongst the best in Europe. Ivan is left to rule for what seems to be a 3 year trip. More Strelets unsettlement grows with their power resieding. more and more boyars are getting angry about peter ditching the Russo-byzantine tradition for more European Russia. Some try to conspire with the strelets agaist Peter. In Peter's Absence, Ivan signs the Law on the Militia. This law states that in wartime, any able-bodied man(not onlyu the 20-30 year old conscript) is elegible to serve in a temporary army or "militsiya", where you are taught to use a firearm, listen to orders, and sent on the field of battle. This means that if enemy is advansing, then Russian People closest will retaliate and arm themselves with flintlocks and fire away as militsiya units! A new Russian Census is scheduled for 1706 by order of Ivan. IN late winter Ivan Catches a serious flu, which has many complications due to already his alredy things. and is bedridden untill june 1698.

1698

 * Naples' king Carlo VI sends many Neapolitan Schmittists to Istoias, resulting in the swiftly growing colony having to expand by 650 square kilometers further along the southern coast of Madagascar. Many of the banished Schmittists had actually fled to Naples from the rest of Europe, knowing that Naples would take send them to Istoias where they could worship in peace. Meanwhile, he also orders the colony of Ricasolia to expand by 900 square kilometers in an attempt to connect the two halves of the colony. In Tunisia, there are some Christian and Schmittist converts by the Tunisians, However, the majority of the Tunisians that convert convert to Shi'a Islam, as it is closer to their native faith of Sunni Islam. Although there is still discrimination against Shi'as, it is far less than the amount toward Sunnis, and in fact even less than the amount toward Schmittists due to Naples not wanting bad relations with the Itsaygahi or the Persians. Unfortunately, King Carlo VI does not live to see the end of this year, as he falls off of his horse and breaks his neck. He has no son, so his daughter Queen Lucentia is crowned monarch of Naples, Protector of the Papal States and Jerusalem, and Overlady of Tunisia, Ricasolia, and Istoias.
 * You only have two colonies and two vassals.the 1550 sq km is the maximum of expansion for all the colonies (the expansion of all the colonies, in total, may get up to 1550 sq km.), not for each colony.
 * I have 3 colonies actually, but I forgot that Jerusalem was a puppet state and not a real colony so I will change that when I have time
 * I am trying to say that your total expansion amounted to 62 px (3100 sq km), and this only would be possible if you had 8 colonies/vassals.your minimal number with four colonies/vassals would be 1550 sq km, but it an't 1550 for each colony.1550 is the total to be reached by the expansion of all the colonies, as i said before.
 * I knew that, I had counted Jerusalem and then put a 3 instead of a 2 in the calculator, resulting in 1550 being half of the number
 * James of France congratulates his niece the Queen Lucentia and the entire family (King James, Archbishop Jean, prince Alphonse and princess Leonore) travels to Italy to see her coronation. With relatives of himself ruling in Naples and Burgundy, the king starts to feeling in confidence to ask the promotion of Jean to a cardinal. The french army still been improve. The king James asks a new allaince and trade-pact to the Tsar. Also, If the Tsar sends cossacks to teach in the french military schools, France will send knights and algerians to teach the europeans and arabic tactics to the russian army.
 * The Pope says he must wait for a while to promote the brother to cardinal, perhaps on year 1700, as it is the turn of the century and a symbolic time? Or maybe right before/after the Crusade, so he can lead the faith in that battle?
 * The king thinks is fine when the crusade start.
 * Neos Preveza expands 1100 sq km north and west.Öböl expands 600 sq km southwest along the coast.the settlement of Mezei Nyúl expands 1050 sq km north.Greece continues to update its miltary.the remnants of the Irish colony on Újfundlandi are conquered.after the death of Carlo VI of Naples, Constantine XII, the king of Greece, offers a non-aggression pact to Queen Lucentia of Naples.
 * Stability points are up. If there are issues or questions please direct them to my talk page under a title of (Your nation) PM. Also please update the numbers of vassals and colonies on the external territories page, it was a pain going though the map searching for tiny specks... Scandinator
 * Peter I continues his voyages. After completing his job in Denmark(nearly completing I should say) He receives news of a Strelets Uprising in Moscow. Peter Quickly rushes to Quell it but it is already been quelled by the time he got there by his generals.

Peter's Navy is overhauled completely and peter ceates the 4 Russian Fleets. The Baltic, Pacific, Black sea and Northern Fleet(althouth his one is mainly consisting of Koches, very very useful). IN December, Togeterh With Evgeni, Alexandr Ovchenko has a great Eureka! He inadvertantly invents the Piston! He thinks about how to intergrate Piston technology with steam for the next year or so. more to come.
 * As the troops in the Khosut Khanate are recycled with more Chinese troops, the lines are resupplied. Meanwhile, more cities are built in the Mayan/Aztec colonies.

1699

 * Naples: Queen Lucentia orders Ricasolia to be expanded 1000 square kilometers, and Istoias expanded 550 square kilometers. However, all of the money that has been used to do these expansions came from the nobility, and the ultra-conservatives are against a woman ruling over them. Duke Biondello di Sicilia, the nephew of Mario di Sicilia, the queen's grandfather's brother in law (he is nephew by blood, not marriage) is seen by many as the real power behind the monarchy, and his political enemies unite with the conservatives and the money-strapped nobles. Many nobles revolt, led by brothers Roberto and Marco Fuzzoli. However, others stay loyal to the crown, resulting in a civil war called the Insurrezione Nobile,
 * You can send aid to either side in this war if you want, but know that I will control the outcome of the conflict, as it is a civil war.
 * The Vietnamese expand New Vietnam by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese declare support for Queen Lucentia in what is swiftly turning into the Neapolitan Civil War. They do this because they feel that Lucentia is the true heir to Carlo VI, given that she is his own flesh and blood and not a power-hungry nephew. They also give their support because one of the greatest rulers of Vietnam was the Empress Hồ Kim Anh, who had also faced a sexist insurrection against her authority. The Vietnamese Emperor Tôn Thành declares that they will supply whatever Lucentia needs to stay in power.
 * The Anglo-German Coommonwealth sends more settlers to Wolkenland. The national cricket championship is held, with newly acquired Hamburg being the champion. More coconuts are brought back from Neue Brandenburg, as their juice becomes a delecacy. Construction of the Maidenhead Palace continues. The Army is increased in size.
 * Alexandr Ovchenko invents the first piston steam engine in late June. Or at least design it, what is left to do is construct it to prove that it works and show it to the Tsar. More Urban Booming occurs in Moscow. During his trip up north into the Baltics, peter orders to stop and contemplates the view of the place where the Neva river meets up with the baltic. He thinks about building a city there, a new Capital for Russia. With a final gush of wind blowing in hi face, he decides on one thing, and orders that a great city built in that spot, a great pot city, a great new capital. A capital by the name of St. Petersburg. Russian Military expands as it is trained more efficiently. Strelets corps continue to not be as powerfull. Peter I Seeks a chance to prove his new and modern navy. Meanwhile, to Accomodate New Mon settlers, the colony of Canada And Novorosiya expand each by 1500 km. Peter Decides to stop using the old byzantine Calendar and start using the Julian Calendar, thus making the Russian 1699 the shortest year in Russian History, spanning only from september to January, when it is planned to have new Year celebrations for the year of 1700, the turn of the new Century.
 * The French royal army is expanded with the new corps of local police in the coloneis and an autonomous branch in Algeria. To protect the Pope, the king of France invites him to come to Avignon, while the prince Alphonse travels to Naples to fight the rebel menace. He attempts, above all, to secure and retake the islasnds of Corsica and Sardinia and the Papal States. Also, french troops of the police colonial corps are sended to the neapolitan colonies to avoid any attempt to join the rebellion from local leaders. Meanwhile, the sultan Suleiman send troops also to support the neapolitans in Sicilia and the southern peninsula.
 * The Indian States agrees with the plan from Persia and form with Persia into a new country- Persia-India.
 * It is totally unrealisitc for all remaining Indian states to all join a foreign nation at once. If you want to slowly absorb them through means other than conquest, you can have maybe 1 join every several years until after a couple decades you get them all (The Mughals should take longer than the rest, as they are more powerful). But no claiming an entire subcontinent in a single year
 * Persia establishes trade and economic relations with the Indian States.
 * You cannot take multiple nations in one turn! Take one every 5 years or so. Also, what Arab states are you talking about?.
 * Much better. After several years, you may be able to turn them into vasslas. Like I said, maybe 5 years for each one, that could be enough time (although taking breaks would always be good)
 * Hanthawaddy faces rebellion and crop failure during the year. Many Mons choose to migrate to the Russian possessions in North America and Katimon, where the lifestyle remains intact. More Mons settle in Bodhivati, because of a new interest in the lifestyles of the islanders, which although simple and apparently primitive, appeal to the desire of Mons for greater happiness. A Basque settlement is created on Bodhivati, created by those fleeing Turmoil in Spain. Thus, Bodhivati expands north 700 sq km. Bi Hloa expands east 1200 sq km, despite less demand for slaves than usual.
 * Stockholm is surprize attacked by the Danish forces. Danish shipbuilders attach canons onto the Danish submarines which will eventually sink the sub but not after doing tremedous damage. The harbourside palace is destroyed and Charles XI escapes but is injured in the attack. Many ships are destroyed in the harbour and hundreds are dead in the resulting chaos and fires. Meanwhile Danish troops seige Malmo. Sweden sends pleas for help to their allies. Denmark requests Russian, AGC and Hungarian help. Meanwhile New Scandinavia had still been expanding and finishes the year with 2750 sqkm expansion.
 * Russia will support denmark, even If I think that I shoud invade I am asking you if we should mabe start The Great Norther War(not Wars)? I am asking you if you are OK with a Full scale invasion of Sweden. If you are it shall start next year.
 * Go ahead and invade.
 * Neos Preveza expands 650 sq km north.Újfundlandi és a Labrador expands 1200 sq km, 800 sq km inland on the central part, near OTL Ungava Bay, 400 sq km on its southern settlement, and Dél-Afrika expands 700 sq km north and west.Meanwhile, because of its alliance with both countries, Hungary stays neutral on the Danish-Swedish War.However, unofficially, gives more support to Denmark.Hungary also gives support for the loyalists in Naples.Greece stays neutral and continues to update its military.
 * China offers help to the Hanthawaddian disaster. In December, the Century Celebration occurs in Beijing. Thousands of people flock from Eastern Asia to attend this event. Inventions are shown off, culture is shared, and the largest firework display of the time occurs at the end.

1700
''' From this year onwards the stability points will come into effect. Bonus algorythm points are also in effect. You can view them and the rules for them on the Talk Page. I will update the table every Wednesday at 4:00 pm (AEST) and Sunday at 3:00 pm (AEST). AEST stands for Australian Eastern Standard Time. '''

''' A mega-quake strikes in the Cascade Mountain range devastating the colony of New Denmark. Tsunamis destroy most of the colony and hit Hawaii, Japan, Kamchatka and the Swedish colony of Asgard. Expansion in these areas is halted for 3 years as reconstruction occurs and expansion for New Denmark is halted for 15 years. '''
 * Perisa declares war with Armenia. The Persian Army, as well as its Northern Indian and Arab allies attack the Armenian border.
 * You may not realise that Armenia is a puppet of mine, war on them=war on me( notice I have 40 bonus algorithm points, as you only have 15). Sincerely, Russia.(sorry denmark, I have to deal with Persia first. I'll send you lots and lots of units and aid)
 * You may be able to get what you want in armenia via Diplomacy with Russia you know. -Lx(aka Russia)
 * Fine I am sorry, I will reverse my move.
 * Persia declares war on Shahrzur. Persian armies, with their Russian allies, invade the Shahrzur border. Diplomats from both countries come to Naples to see if Persia and Russia can gain some help from them.
 * Queen Lucentia of Naples states that she finds the Persians to be much superior to the Arabic Shahrzur. However, she is currently putting down of rebellion within her own nation. They are winning though, so it should not be long until they are reuinited, and are able to help Persia. Naples proposes that the two nations begin trading, as it will help both of them.
 * Sorry to keep correcting you, but currently Shahrzur lies between Persia and Kurdistan. They are the same strength, so conquering Shahrzur should be just as easy. If the war lasts for a while, you may get Naples' help defeating Shahrzur as well.
 * I am sorry, I will recorrect my move.
 * What bonus points?
 * Stability Bonus points
 * The Vietnamese expand New Vietnam by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese declare support for the Swedes, and will give them all the support they can give and still maintain official neutrality.
 * The Civil War in Naples continues to occur. However, with the help of their allies, Queen Lucentia and Duke Biondello manage to fight the Fuzzoli brothers, restricting their mainland territory to the Eastern Papal States and Salento. The Neapolitan national forces begin to march into Salento, and Count Roberto flees to his brother Marco in the eastern Papal states. Duke Mercutio of Sardinia is still at large. They send word to Persia, telling them that they will bring the Crusade to that nation if they continue to fight the Christian nation of Armenia.
 * Hanthawaddy's economy levels after two years of weather and riots. However, many farmers continue to face hardship and famine. The rice crop is more successful than the previous year, but other farmers attempt to grow wheat in the region. Bi Hloa expands east along the coast at 1500 sq km. Toeh Ngoa Nyoing expands east along the coast from OTL Murmansk at 700 sq km.
 * James I of France dies, and Alphonse I is crowned king of France and colonies. The son of princess Leonore (she gave birth to him two months after the die of his fiancé in the Second Algerian War), Jean, is recognised by the new king as a member of the Bertrand family and heir to the throne. Meanwhile, Malouinas colony is expanded 2000 sqkm. France continues sending aid to the loyalist party in Naples, and offers its protection to the Papal States until the end of the war. The duke Samuel of Brittany and the sultan of Algeria continue invading, respectively, the Papal States and southern Sicilia to secure the neapolitan territory. In Paris is created the Royal Council, formed by the king of France (currently Alphonse), the sultan of Algeria (currently Suleiman), the Archbishop of Avignon (currently Jean Bertrand), the duke of Brittany (currently Samuel Boissieu) and the president of the Parliament (currently Guillaume Dubois); this council administrates and coordiantes the policies of the Kingdom of Frande, its colonies and the vassals (currently, the Sultanate of Algeria).
 * Sweden asks for help against Denmark.

 * Russian Student Alexandr Ovchenko Invents the first piston steam engine and presents it to the Tsar. Peter takes emidiate interest in the topic and more urban booming occurs. Peter orders People to think of ways that this new invention can be employed to better Russia. Subsequently, St Petersburg continues. Peter sees a great opportunity to prove his new army and navy. Peter Declares War on Sweden, jouning Denmark's side of the Conflict. Russia hopes that The Anglogermans and the french will do the same(ok, if scandinator wants to do an algorithm its his choice, and if he wants to dictate the outcome of this conflict he is free to do so without an algorithm, it is his Dano-Swedish war after All, or should I say the Great Northern War!).more to come.
 * The Chinese emperor works on the urbanization of China. This massive project will result in the expansion of Beijing, Shanghai, and several urban areas. It will affect not only mainland China, but also the colonies in Central America. During this period of economic expansion, the GDP rises sharply and a wave of nationalism and pride sweeps the nation, as opposed to the incident that ended the Ming Dynasty.
 * Burgundy expand in the north of Cote d?Ivoir 1500 km
 * Sweden counter-attacks heavily against Denmark with Norwegian and Swedish army groups. The Norwegian branch of the navy destroys the Danish one in the naval battle of Malmo. The Danish troops there lose their supply link and surrender. The Swedish navy attacks Copenhagen harbour but encounter no resistance. The ships sail straight in and discover the Danish king died at the end of the previous year after starting the war. With the chaos of war a heir couldn't be easily found and without a king the resistance to Swedish attack was not able to be organised. The Swedish take advantage of this and launch a full scale invasion of Jutland at the end of the year. Documents relating to the location of New Denmark are found and ships leave to conquer or destroy it. Asgard is rebuilt and Thorlaand expands 3050 sqkm south. Sweden asks for Napolitian, AGC and Chinese support against Russia stating that they are the agressor in this conflict and have broken the Treaty of Tallin!
 * China announces support for Russia, its ally, though some question the moral motives behind Russia's attack. CrimsonAssassin 22:40, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * SO I dont get it, Are you going to make an algorithm or dictate the war? Either way I only invaded because you said you were fine with it and basicaly allowed me to do it. Anyway, I want to know if you want to set a result yourself without making an algorithm or make the algorithm, now that Russia is involved the result will mabe change?LxCaucassus
 * Yes, I'll make an algorythm but the outcome is decided for Denmark. Also Sweden remainds China it was they who helped China against Hanthawaddy in their time of crisis.Scandinator
 * Well, I am only aiding Denmark.LxCaucassus
 * Denmark was to be annexed by Sweden at the end of a Swedo-Danish War which was meant to take place in 1690 but then Russia attacked Sweden as Sweden take to control Northern Europe. Denmark is to be annexed and no longer play a part in this waras they were unable to place a new heir on the throne, but as the Treaty of Tallin was been broken Sweden will inevitabily fight Russia again on the battlefield, (also a possible reason for this is Sweden is the closest resource area to St Petersburg).Scandinator
 * Naples cannot help Sweden, as they are having a civil war.
 * Russia Continued: the Russians send land support to Denmark, and Peter Himself with his generals take command of the scattered danish forces. The Russian Navy is tested for the first time and its outcomes are higher than expected, winning the first naval battle of the Russian Tsarist(soon-to-be imperial) navy, the battle of the finnish Gulf.

1701

 * In Naples, the civil war has come to a close. With the help of their allies, the Neapolitan royalist forces easily occupy the island of Sardinia. Duke Mercutio attempts to flee on a ship to Spain, but his vessel crashes and the rogue duke is killed. Meanwhile, the Fuzzoli brothers have almost been defeated, and are driven to a small corner of the Papal States near Venice. However, right before the Neapolitan forces attack, Marco Fuzzoli does something totally unexpected: he offers to sell his Noble_Inssurection_Finish.pnger, Roberto, to the Neapolitans in exchange for his portion of Italy becoming free. Duke Biondello laughs at this offer, asking why Naples would trade away territory for a single man. Marco then reveals the bombshell: Roberto Fuzzoli had let the Hafsid assassin that murdered King Angelo into the nation, hoping that the Mamluks would aid the Hafsids, resulting in the Neapolitan government falling and letting him take Naples as its new king. However, when the Mamluks stayed still and the Hafsids fell, Roberto had to rely on a clusmy rebellion as an attempt to gain power. Marco then tells Duke Biondello that if they don't let him take that small part of the Papal States, he will let his brother escape into Venice, where he will never be brought to justice. Knowing that they must catch this horrible traitor to bring justice for the martyred Angelo, Queen Lucentia agrees to this request, creating the small independent nation of Fuzzolia but capturing Roberto Fuzzoli, who is excecuted for his horrendous crimes. The name of Fuzzoli has become a curse in Naples, and other members of the Fuzzoli family chane their last name to disassociate themselves with their most hated kinsman.
 * Can Naples help? Russia broke the treaty of Tallin.
 * How exactly did Russia break the Treaty?
 * Sweden had complied to all the reaty stipulations. Sweden was dealing with an unprovoked Danish attack untill russia launched and invasion of Finland
 * Greece and Hungary update their militaries.the reforms on the ports of Vlora and Durazzo are completed.Öböl expands 350 sq km.Uruguay expands 800 sq km northwest, Újfundlandi expands 750 sq km, Neos Preveza expands 450 sq km and Dél-Afrika expands 400 sq km.
 * Sweden defeats the remaining Danish troops in the Battle of Aarus. Meanwhile Finnish and Estonian naval groups blockade the Gulf of Finland and cut supplies to the Russian troops in Denmark. Many surrender to the Swedish army but small groups fight on. By the end of the year all Russians in Denmark are either captured or dead. Meanwhile the Finnish border holds but there are rumors of a possible Swedish invasion. New Denmark is found in a state of chaos due to the recent tsunami and the colony begs for Swedish help, it becomes the 7th colony of Sweden. The Swedish King Charles XI at the youang age of 19, reconfigures all of Sweden's tactics and prepares to hold the long Finnish border. However, Estonia decides to attack and manages to bombard the construction sites of St Petersburg. This triggers Charles XI to configure his plans and launch a full scale attack on the Gulf of Finland islands. A wise strategist, Charles remarks how strong the Hanthawaddians are and offers peace to the Kola colony and the continuation of the treaty should Sweden win. New Scandinavia is expanded by 3050 sqkm with war refugees most notably the Danish royal family who are exiled to the colony for eternity.
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese look apon the Russian betrayal of Sweden with disgust, as they had willingly broken a treaty they had signed themselves. Most Vietnamese experts determine that the best that Russia can get is the restoration of the status quo, and the best Sweden can get is a tiny fragment of Russian territory.
 * The Persian government signs trade and economic pacts with Russia and China. Russia and China promise to help modernize the technology of Persia and help improve it's armies. Meanwhile, Persia manages to eliminate Shahrzur armies at the capital.
 * You can't say what China and Russia do and do not agree to.
 * The swedish supporting troops, named the name of the Legion of the King Henri, under the command of the duke of Brittany are sended to support the attack to St. Petersburg. Alphonse I asks Naples to don't join the russian side, but support the swedish side. The sultan of Algeria declares support to Sweden and asks help to Persia-India (if the persians declare war to Russia, we will win, and you'll can annex Armenia as you wished for).
 * Don't false promise him that. I doubt you would win by enough to conquer enough territory to take all of Armenia.
 * You're right. Anyway, it's a possiblity. I apologie with RWG.
 * I will not participate with Russia in its war against Sweden nor participate in it. All I want is to conquer land my allies (Russia and China) did not conquer. And that is that. (I don't want to go through any more confusion or critizism)
 * I don't know Russian/Persian politics, but I do know that China does not have an alliance with Persia. BTW: China is helping Russia because of a deal (strong economic and military alliance), if anyone is questioning their motives.
 * An insurrection in Hanthawaddy is tied to a group of Bengal Muslims, who wish to fight the oppression of the upper-class of Mons. While the insurrection is quickly crushed, some of the royal family begin to speculate that the Hanthawaddy-Bengal union will not last much longer. Bi Hloa expands east along the coast at 1600 sq km, and Katimon expands north at 700 sq km.
 * Burgundy expand in the north of Cote d?Ivoir 1500 km. The burgundians observed the european sittuation and now were absence of the politics of Europe.
 * Naples announces that they will not be joining the Great Northern War on either side.
 * The urbanization of China continues. The economy rises steadily as cities continue to flow outward, into the country-side. During this year, Chinese artists that had come from rural areas make their presence known to nobles by creating beautiful works of art. An elusive artist known only as Huàjiāis one such artist. He creates elaborate paintings in the homes of nobles before being hired by the Emperor to paint a tapestry in the Forbidden City. Unfortunately, Huàjiāis killed on his way to the Forbidden City by a jealous artist. However, his less than one year of fame makes an incredible impact on Chinese art. Historians generally agree that this is the beginning of the Great Eastern Enlightenment, a period in which several artists and philosophers are greatly recognized for their work.
 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth declares their support for the Russians and Danes, honoring their alliance. They place their armies at the disposal of the Russians. In preperation for war, they build up their military once again. The young King-Emperor Frederick II becomes the first Commonwealth ruler in years to be able to lead from the front. He commisions a new road-building program to allow for troops movement.

''' A famine hits India and weakens the states and colonies there. No expansion can occur on those colonies for the duration of the famine - 3 years and algorythm scores are decreased by 10% due to malnutrition and low morale. In North America a smallpox epidemic hits halting expansion for Itsaygahi and all areas in Quebec and Ontario. Newfoundland is unaffected. '''

''' Apologies to everyone. I tried to calculate trade routes via a current world map at around midnight on Thursday night and ended up horribly confusing everything. I redid it with a Principia Moderni map which I printed and it turns out I missed heaps of trade routes... Every nation except Itsaygahi got at least 1 more and most had at least 3 I missed. I promise I was not biased in any way and if there are questions, feel free to ask on either the PM talk page or my talk page, also I added the fact that several nations have set up shop on the African side of the Med.Scandinator '''
 * Persia signs economic and trading agreements with China, hoping to establish an alliance. Meanwhile, with the capital of Shahzrur captured, all the Persian army needs to do is upgrade it's troops to take down the rest of the country.
 * Russia agrees to economic arangements after Russia is done wiht the war with sweden. Russian Tsar Peter asks for help agianst sweden in the war. Russia reminds them that Russia helped Persia destroy Kashmir and Shahzur.

 * Note: Újfundlandi is affected by smallpox. You can only expand on Newfoundland.


 * I'm already referring to expansion on the island.i usually use "southern settlement" or "central part" to refer to expansion in former Labrador, combinded with Újfundlandi és a Labrador.
 * Russia asks for Hungarian aid in the northern war
 * China opens some trade routes with Persia, though they are somewhat limited, given that they are a rebellion from a former Chinese ally. In the meantime, the Great Eastern Enlightenment continues to open the hearts and minds of the creative citizens amongst the Chinese. Another wave of exploration is planned for the purpose of updating the somewhat outdated, though commonly used, Chinese World Maps.
 * Russia asks all its allies to join in war with Sweden. Russian Armies, blinded by a blizzard suffer a devestating loss at Vybrog aking to OTL's Narva. The Lithuanian Armies are turned to for Sweden's conquest, allowing peter to recuperate his forces. Lithuania begins fighting. Peter Uses his new galley fleet to blockade Lithuanian Coast. Russia asks Hungarian Assistance in the War.
 * Riots intensify in Hanthawaddy due to the famine. Chandrajit responds as usual with force, but also begins to see benefits to diplomacy with the rioters. Chandrajit sends emissaries to help set up a Mon-allied Ryukyu kingdom, to help solidify Hanthawaddy's power in East Asia. Hanthawaddy upgrades its economy and road system to improve communication and figuratively remove the divide between Burman cultures and Bengal cultures. Bi Hloa expands south at 2000 sq km. The Mon colonialists view OTL Yos Sudarso Island as unnecessary strategically or economically because it is just one huge marsh, so instead the colonists annex land on both sides of the Salat Muli, which separates the island from the mainland. In order to adapt to local settlement patterns in the mangrove swamps, extensive work is done to create a new style of ship that can navigate the marshes easily. Also, new styles of architecture are mastered, with wood bridges between different buildings in a village.
 * France expands Malouinas colony 2000 sqkm. The haitian local council of government offers trade to China, Hanthwaddy and Itsyaghi. The Sultan of Algeria offers, again, an alliance to Persia and a trade route. France is trying to reactivate the old pacts and trade with Vietnam.

 * Swedish troops capitalize on the russian loss at Vybrog and invade Lithuania. Charles develops new tactics for the Swedes that result in major victories against the Livonian, Danish and Lithuanian armies. Thorlaand expands southward by 3050sqkm.

1703
''' This year is a year of devastation. The famine worsens in India causing the southern states to enter civil disorder. Smallpox cases in North America however slowly ease but expansion is still halted. Twin earthquakes hit the Papal States in L'Aqualia causing 15,000 deaths in the region. Kanto, Japan is devastated by and earthquake and tsunami with 5,000 deaths and to wrap it all up; Netherlands is hit by a storm surge with 5,000 deaths. '''
 * Naples has totally recovered from their civil war by now, as the actual damage to Neapolitan infrastructure was thankfully slim. Queen Lucentia wishes for her kingdom to be the perfect Catholic nation, so all of the Jews are sent to Jerusalem and the Schmittists are sent to Istoias, which is expanded by 1550 square kilometers. Meanwhile, Duke Biondello wishes to reduce the number of Sunni states that could help the Mamluk Empire to a minimum, so he orders Neapolitan forces to sail to Persia to aid them in conquering Shahrzur.
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese government responds that, as Algeria is a French vassal state, they are automatically included in any deals with the French. The Vietnamese, with their forces returned from the Second Northern War, declar war on Shahzur as part of their efforts to leave the tensions with Persia behind them.
 * Peter is able to rebuild his army and launches an attack on sweden, while they are occupied primarily with the Lithuaninas, the Strelets Corps sitting around in moscow are once again put into active duty and are permitted to keep their beards and clothes. Peter creates various ranks for his Army(not strelets). Peter intensifies the building of St petersberg so Russia can hava a fortress on the mouth of the Neva river More of a city is being built near the Petropavlov fortress. more people die building it as it is on a swamp. He uses Swedish POWs to buld it too. Peter plans to move the capital there soon and make Petersburg the Versailles of Russia. Peter is able to make segnificant advances into places, but not many. the lithuanian army, however suffers as Riga is lost, but Russia makes gains in Finland. Peter Thinks of reinforcing the Lithuanians. The Danish armies under peter's control are nearly defeated in the long siege of Copenhagen, but with Anglogerman aid, are able to keep the Swedish away, but at a high price of nearly 60% of them dying. It is predicted that the Danish will not survive another siege. Peter devides Russia into 10 governates, and gets rid of the old duchy system, with the uesd being the subdivision of the guberia(governate) and peter abolishes the Boyars, putting in place the dvorianis as the Russian nobles. Meanwhile, the peple not fighting in the war move to cities. the uses of the steam engine. A steelsmith in Russia named Dubrovski decides to utilize the steam engine to easier smelt his things, many more follow in the same path.
 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth finds itself engaged in yet another war with Sweden, as its troops are battling alongside Russia's in northern Denmark. A naval blockade of southern Sweden is enacted, while it is decided that for the duration of the war, military governors will control the northern provinces in place of feudal leaders.
 * France builds up its military. Algeria sends aid to Persia. In Paris, is build a well to provide water to the entire city. The life conditions in France and Algeria are imrpoved. The slavery is practicaly ended, the obligatory military service just is apply to the sunni muslims, and last five years, the schittimists are majority in Malouinas and New France.
 * Sweden crushs the Russian military in an ambush in Finland. The Danish army is destroyed in a bombardment of Copenhagen and the city falls. Estonian troops occupy Riga and the main Swedish army rushes down through Lithuania. The Swedish craftsmen who rebuilt the AGC navy were able to sabotage many ships to sink easily under canon fire and the new AGC navy is sunk. Lithuania's navy surrenders as they find themselves cut off from any friendly ports. Charles orders the Scottish nobles to help the Netherlands in their flood crisis. Charles reconfigures his tactics yet again to confuse the Russian generals. Sweden asks for Burgundy, Naples, the Vietmanese vassal states and Persia to help in the Great Northern War
 * I think maybe we should make a rule that if a country is losing or barely winning a war, they shouldn't be able to just make up enourmous military victories. Sweden is 'losing' the war, albeit by only one, and yet in one year they destroyed the fleets of both the Commonwealth and Lithuania as well as conquering Riga.
 * I should be winning but I'm not allowed to edit the algorythm due to Lx's interference and Lordganon's ruling...Scandinator
 * Greece and Hungary continues to update their militaries.Meanwhile, under economic interests, Hungary officially revokes their laws that expelled Jews from the country, in 1349 and 1360.slowly, the jews start to resettle in régiók more south of Lodomeria, in which the edicts of expulsion were not enforced, allowing Polish jews to settle in the area after the conquest of the Polish part of poland-Lithuania.Újfundlandi expands 2750 sq km inland on its main island.Hungary and Greece support Russia on its war against Sweden, as it is seen as a continuation of the Danish war.
 * China's infrastructure continues to improve, along with the GDP. The Great Asian Enlightenment has inspired voyagers to paint their ships with elaborate designs. One such ship is discovered to have a leak and is, instead, used as decoration in a restaurant that the Emperor frequently visits.
 * Itsaygahi comes out of the years of stagnation under their old senile king, and new Queen Akrim sets out a plan for recovery. Many cities are abolished, their dense population seen as to blame, and many new towns are established.
 * The Great Northern War puts Persia between a rock and a hard place. Both the Russians and Swedes helped Persia's ambitions. Because of this, Persia would not attack either nation. They demand both nations come to an emergency meeting in Tehran to discuss the issue. Meanwhile, from their port at Bombay, the Persians built massive military and trading navies inspired from designs from Russia.
 * When I said the third sentence, I am dead serious. Both Sweden and Russia come here to renegotiate. Russia helped me conquer Kashmir and Shahzrur, and Sweden helped me conquer Kashmir and prevented Vietnam from attacking me. You have driven me crazy because you are my allies and I can not fight either of you. Please, reconsider you actions and tkae part of this meeting. (I can not put this in the talk page since someone banned me from there).
 * When in doubt, wait it out.
 * No one banned you from the talk page. They simply said that you were to use the talk page for out-of-game stuff, like calculating wars and changing rules, not for in-game stuff like asking for trade routes. You can ask them to come to negotiate, but you can't demand them to. The war is being planned to last until about 1710 anyways, because I think that was how long the real northern war lasted.
 * When did you take over Bombay?
 * You know what, I'm going to get ride of that Bombay stuff. it has caused so much confusion so far.

1704
''' The smallpox epidemic ends but the famine continues in India. Refugees surge into the European colonies, Persia and Hanthawaddy in search of food and a stable place to live. '''
 * Russian Troops, regaining conciousness from past defeats, reinforce Lithuanians, and in a Rush retake riga in a month-long siege. The Russian forces, along wiht Cossacks and Strelets, using new orders, and learning from past mistakes drive into Estland, wining a large string of Battles, the Russian Forces successfuly push all Swedish troops out of Russia, St petersburg is half complete. Magnus Stenbock is captured as a POW and is sent to a Russian POW camp in Siberia. The Russian Navy bombards Stockholm, and copenhagen is once again put under siege. It is unknown how long the city will last.
 * Naples is joyous, for Duke Biondello di Sicilia has married Queen Lucentia Entori and is now king Biondello Sicilia-Entori, although Lucentia is still technically the head of the nation. King Biondello orders that the military be strengthened, in preparation for the coming crusade against the Mamluks. He sends word to France, Burgundy, Hungary, Sweden, and the other nations involved in the Crusade, stating that as soon as the northern war is completed, they should attack the Mamluks. Meanwhile, Queen Lucentia continues her policy of sending the Jews to Jerusalem and the Schmittists to Istoias. However, Jerusalem cannot expand as the Mamluks are in the way (another reason for the Crusade) and Istoias does not expand due to a conflict with a native tribe of Madagascar. Ricasolia is expanded 800 square kilometers to try and connect the two halves however.
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese cease all trade with Russia and their vassals for the duration of the Second Northern War. The Vietnamese reasoning is that Russia caused the war by interfering in Sweden's private matters, and the Vietnamese do not want to associate themselves with these warmongers.
 * France and Algeria are seriously considerating abandon the war or change their side. Alphonse asks Vietnam, again, to sell Rochefort to France (you can choose a price to pay, and I'll see if I pay it). Malouians is expanded 2000 sqkm. The archbishop Jean asks to be named cardinal. Alphonse visits China to talk with the emperor and inciate diplomatical relations with his country.
 * Jean is named Cardinal by the Pope

 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth's remaining ships return to England, and the navy is mostly rebuilt as English shipyards have been hardly touched. The Commonwealth sends supplies to its colony in India, as well as increasing its military presence for a possible invasion of the Netherlands (with Russian support). Finally, the road building program continues.
 * Sweden smashes apart the Russian and Lithuanian armies in Estonia and lays seige to St Petersburg yet again. Meanwhile forces in Lithuania ravage the garrisons there and seize the majority of Lithuania. Charles XI reconfigures the Swedish military tactics and blasts the AGC and Russians out of Denmark. As AGC is still a Swedish ally Sweden promises their king not to invade Germany proper if they do not continue assalts on Denmark. Thorlaand expands 3050 sqkm southwards to New Scandinavia. Swedish diplomats in Tehran wait for the Russians who never arrive, showing the Russian relectance to accept the peace process.
 * Under pressure from a Swedish diplomat in Hungary, Géza officially declares neutrality on the Northern War.However, Greece stays on Russia's side.However, no armies are sent, since they will have use in the future.Both countries (Hungary and Greece) update their navies.the reforms at the ports of Sinope and Trebizond are finished.Hungary sends resources to India, and újfundlandi és a Labrador expands 2750 sq km inland on is main island.Meanwhile, the administrative structure of Újfundlandi és a Labrador is reorganized, with the coloy being divided into 31 comitati (ispired on the Hungarian comitati, not related in any way with those).
 * China donates weapons and troops to the Russian front. The explorations of the world begin. Expected to end sometime next year, the exploration will update the world map. Meanwhile, the rebuilding of the Mayan/Aztec colonies enter the final stage.
 * Persian troops finally destroy the last Shahzrur armies, forcing the region to come to Persian control. Meanwhile, its newly-bult modern trading navy declares trade with Hanthawaddy.
 * Naples is happy to have helped defeat the Sunni Shahrzur, and tells Persia that they will be glad to trade with the Persians as well

1705
''' The famine in India finally disappears. However thousands of displaced peoples swamp the European colonies, Persia and Hanthawaddy. The Indian states will remain 10% weaker on algorythms due to widespread malnutrition for the next 10 years.   Stability is updated. Hungary is the most powerful nation on the planet and has achieved stability of 1500!! China is the second most powerful nation followed by Vietnam.Scandinator '''
 * Persia establishes trade relations with Naples. This causes more ships to be built. Meanwhile, the Persians squash troops in several battles in Shahzrur.
 * Naples uses the money from the extra trade to increase their military, in preparation for the upcoming Crusade against the Mamluks. They send word to France, that as the leader of the Crusade, they should pull out of the conflict between the northern nations and focus on eliminating the greatest threat to Christianity. Meanwhile, Ricasolia is expanded by another 800 square kilometers, as many of the natives are converted to Catholicism. Schmittism and Islam both have slight pulls there, but Catholicism soon overwhelms the native religions.
 * Alphonse I of France builds up the military technology of the kingdom. Both, Algeria and France, abaonden the Northern War and asks the counstries for peace. Haiti and Algeria obtain representation in the Parliament, and New France and Malouinas are able to appoint their governors by referendum.
 * King Biondello sends a message to France, asking what year to begin the Crusade. He suggests perhaps 5 years, in 1710.
 * King Alphonse is agree. He asks the northern countries to fin a peaceful solution to the prblem before that year.
 * The Pope calls on all Christians in the war to turn away from the violence against fellow Christians, for it is against God to fight others who believe in Jesus. He calls on them to heed Persia's call for peace.
 * Question: Are you still sending Sweden aid, supplies. etc? Please do as the war is nearly over and Sweden is winning. You do not have to always send troops.
 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth offers an alliance with Persia. They open up the possibility of the European and Asian nations with Indian territory attempting a joint invasion of the Mughals to divide it between themselves (when the current troubles end.) Public opinion in the Commonwealth is still anti-Mughal, and the King-Emperor does not believe Persia could completely conquer it on their own (due to a low stability score). Meanwhile, the road building program is concluded. Finally, once again the once all-powerful Commonwealth Navy is smashed by the Swedes, meaning that it is now necessary to rebuild once again.
 * Hanthawaddy upgrades its economy, while at the same time battling Indian refugees. Many are Hindu or Muslim, forcing Emperor Chandrajit to be lax on the non-Buddhist taxation. Hanthawaddy creates a settlement at around 61.167 N,172.509 E, on Natali Bay at 100 sq km, to be governed from Ishigaki. Chandrajit hopes it will become a major stop-off on the Northeast Passage during the summer. Bi Hloa expands south along the south coast at 3000 sq km. Hanthawaddy supports an invasion of the Mughal Empire to destroy Muslim influence in the region. Hanthawaddy plans to annex much of the area historically sacred to Buddhism.
 * China declares 100% support for an invasion of the Mughal empire and 'may join in on the fun'.
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese once again announce that they are cutting off all Vietnamese trade to Russia until the Second Northern War is over. The Vietnamese send hundreds of thousands of Yen in aid to Nippon in face of the recent tsunami. The Nipponese take the opportunity to replace the destroyed traditional paper housing with much more durable structures based of designs from Vietnam and even Europe. Most of the European-styled houses are where the descendants of the mostly French, Hungarian and Russian merchants who decided to settle down in Nippon.
 * Sweden launches a mass invasion of Russia from Finland and take territory up to 210 km (31 px) from the Swedish border at the widest point in the north but they only advance 35 km (5 px in the south). St Petersburg falls to a victorious Swedish army and the ruler of Lithuania surrenders to Charles XI after the devastating blow Sweden struck in the Battle of Lithuania. Troops seize Russia's Crimean holdings and secure the Gulf of Finland. Charles offers to start peace talks directly with Peter in the city of St Petersburg where the new builders are constructing the city to the Russian design with one change - Russian POW's. Sweden secures the new borders and heavily fortifies them. Thorlaand is expanded 3050 sqkm. Meanwhile in Stockholm a decision is made to improve the road system across the nation to improve accessibility for merchants and troops alike.
 * That is way too much territory to take in one year. The war is set to last for another 5 years, so you could take all of that territory over the course of several years, but taking out all of Lithuania, taking out St. Petersburg, taking Crimea, and still managing to secure these borders and expand your colony simply couldn't happen in one year at this time, the armies wouldn't be able to move fast enough.
 * Hungary continues to update its military.Meanwhile, small-scale rural exodus start to happen.it is mostly seen on Ultraylvania, where the cities of Kolozsvár and Temesvár grow.Uruguay expands 2750 km inland north.Meanwhile, at request of the Greek king, Hungarian military presence on the Tripolitanian theme increases, in case that the Swedish troops on the neighbouring colony will invade Tripolitania.with heavy military presence of Greeks and Hungarians, the Tripolitanian theme start to become coloquially known outside of it as "stratiotikós theme".Meanwhile, gold is discovered on Öböl.by the third time, Greece asks Naples for a non-aggression pact.
 * Peter, using scorched earth tactics is able to nearly starve the swedish army in lithuania, and decides to take the helm in an all-out counterattack on sweden, He first attacks his beloved st petersburg, crushing the sitting swedish force that is living there. Charles is forced to flee as peter proclaims that he will not take such insulting demands, and will not give away any Russia, white, little or great. Peter is able to once again control the city and his generals lead the way in retaking kiev chrimea. Russian forces afvance upon poltava, where there will be a glorious battle. Peter launches a naval offensive on riga and brings every one of his russian fleets to the Baltic sea. Peter attacks stockholm while swedish troops were there and bombards all roadwork he sees. Russian forces push Charles nearly to Poltava.
 * As the Chinese infrastructure continues to improve, the ships return and the cartographers put together the information from the world maps. The new map will become standard on all Chinese vessels by 1710. Meanwhile, China's army mobilizes in preparation to lead an assault against the Mughal and Rajput empires.
 * The villagers of Yemen unite to form a similar-minded people, aiming to receive independence of the nearby empires. Many diplomants are sent around the world, asking if any of the countries would agree to form a geographical independence of Yemen, ruled by Prharmha Al-Yousif.

 * The townification of Itsaygahi continues, as large cities devolve into smaller, multitudinous towns. This actually increases the population and economy, as it replicates the successful system of the Charter Ports. The northern border of Itsaygahi is fixed to the Ohayo River, for now.

1706

 * Naples prospers in this time, fully recovered from the civil war. Queen Lucentia believes this fast recovery to be due to the Neapolitan colonial empire. She has many more settlers sent to the island of Cuba, bringing slaves with them. This massive influx of new population results in Ricasolia expanding by another 1550 square kilometers. Naples signs the non-aggression pact with Greece, confused as to why Greece became so afraid of them all of a sudden. Jerusalem, which feels threatened by the Muslim nations surrounding it, agrees to the alliance with Greece.
 * Russian cities continue to be populated by more and more people wanting to use the Steam engine. one of the largest places this is happening is Moscow, Kiev, Penza, and Archangel. Certain people looking for newer and more eficient way to make fabrics seek to improve the textile buisness. more steelsmiths start using the steam engine to make their work easier.(insert war stuff here)
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese turn the once backwater town of New Hanoi into the grand capital of the colony. Russia continues to be extremely unpopular with the Vietnamese, as Vietnamese citizens burn effegies of the warmongering Czar Peter for his tyrannical policies. The trade once bound for Russia is rerouted for Sweden, as most traders are sympathetic with Sweden's cause. This is accomanied with an increase of the flow of arms and soldiers bound for Sweden to help defeat the land-hungry Russians.
 * Yemenese people are currently discussing if they should support Sweden or Russia. They decided that they will support the nation which will show most of peaceful characteristics, and will support Yemen more. Also, Yemen has finished the recruitment of 25'000 troops, and this is the current army of Yemen. Yemen has now begun building lots of roads, connecting main villages and cities of Yemen. Some people are protesting against the alliance with Russia, therefore, Yemen demands Russia to stop all the wars against european nations. Yemen also begins working on the urbanization, founding of the new cities.
 * Due to its support on the war against Sweden, Greek trade with Russia increases.Hungary continues to pdate its navy, while the road system starts to be reformed.Öböl expands 2750 sq km towards the littoral, from the inland.
 * Sweden retakes St Petersburg in a brilliant manover where the troops lured the Russians to of the city and into an ambush. Sweden engages Russia in the largest battle in the history of the world - to be recorded as the Battle of Poltava. The entire Russian army is destroyed and survivors scatter in all directions. However the victory came at a heavy cost, the Swedish army is on its last legs after achieving the pyrrhic victory. Charles orders a retreat and all Swedish troops leave Lithuania. Sweden however mantins a foothold on Livonia, the Estonian Islands, St Petersburg and much of OTL Eastern Finland. Sweden sends the offer of peace yet again and offers to only take Livonia, Estonian Islands and OTL Eastern Finland with joint Swedo-Russian war over the area around St Petersburg. Swedish diplomats attempt to establish an alliance with the Yemenis and send supplies of fresh water and a magnificant fur cloak to the Sultan should he ever wish to visit Sweden and her Northern European territories. Sweden heavily fortifies its border with Russia and offers to go into peace talks with Russia in neutral Naples or Hanthawaddy. Thorlaand is expanded 3050sqkm eastwards towards New Scandinavia.
 * Yemenese sultan accepts Swedish offer, and hereby leaves the alliance of Russo-Yemen, joining the Swedish Alliance. Yemen also thanks Sweden for the fresh water and the fur cloak and sends a trade offer: Wheat for Fur. Yemen will stay out of the war for now, but promises to declare a war on whoever declares war on Sweden from this point.
 * Russia can offer much more than sweden, i can even conquer one of your neighbors for free then give the rerritory i gained to you to get rid of Peter III in 1763! If you support me You will have industrialization by 1760 instead of 1800, if not you will have it only on 1800

 * Naples and the Papal States support the idea of peace talks, whether they be in Naples or in Hanthawaddy or some other nation
 * Your post is contradictory and the current algorythm states you are losing
 * you got chance wrong buddy and me loosing depends greatly on wether or not to count hungary.
 * you are being ridiculously implausible. The best you can do is either a stalemate or a very minor victory. Your fortunes are too dire for you to kick out Sweden out of Finland. I thought you learned your lesson about plausibility, but it seems I was wrong.
 * I kicked sweden out of Russian Karelia and push them to the border, i didnt take finland not at all, youre mixing up 2 different things, I didnt kick andbody out of any nation -Lx
 * and remember how the 2 fronts in the war: the St peterburg front and the poltava front, Russia, with its peterburg troops can push into finland, but i'll chang it so that sweden temporarily still controls livonia 
 * Russsia War: The Russian miliary takes part in the largest battle in history; Poltava. The Russian Generals manage to break the swedish spirit and victory is proclaimed for mother Russia as the Russians chase the swedes oput. the heroic words of peter: When you fight, remember, It is not for Peter that you are fighting, but for the country given to Peter. Peter Is able to scatter the Russian army in order to ambush the swedes on theri retreat. Poltava is marked as the greatest victory in Russian history, and peter lead the charge, being shot three times, once on his horse, once on this hat, knocking it iff, and once more, the bullet stopped by the metak he wore over his heart. this story spread far and wide, making people believe that God himself has shown favor to Peter, and that he is more than likely to win. The swedes are ambushed at minsk on their retreat and nearly obliterated, the spetsnaz seting off many black powder bombs along the way. Karl only narrowly eskapes with his shot leg. In st Petersburg, the builders go on a rampage, killing every swede they see, and the Russin army is summoned and pushes the swedes into estland. Peter refuses to accept Karl's humiliating terms, St petersburg is finaly finished after the senate house has been built, although it still needs work, It is acceptable for a capital. Peter proclaims his new city the capital of Russia. The Russians and cossacks manage to push the Swedes out of RUssia, Ukraine, Belarus and Karelia by the end of the year.

 * Persia attacks the Swedish colony in India with their new modern navy. They manage to blockade the colony from contact with Sweden. Within a matter of many months, the colony falls to Persian hands. Meanwhile, Persia declares a temporary cease-fire with Shahzrur so that the army and navy can be expanded and improved.
 * You need an algorythm for the attack on the colony.
 * I have changed my mind about this discission. First of all, when I checked the site, I realized that Russia lost and Sweden is now attacking and slowly defeating me. The reason I invaded Swedish India is for a strategic attack on Sweden, but the war ended just when that move wsd made. I did not know about this till I realized the war was over and that I am being invaded. I decided to eliminate and cancel my move. (This will also be said in the talk page).
 * Persia declares a cease-fire with Shahzrur so that I can focus its invasion in India. Persia also recognizes Russia's defeat in the war.
 * Naples wishes to be a stronger nation, and Queen Lucentia rules that to be a strong nation, they must have a vast colonial empire. She orders Ricasolia expanded by another 1550 square kilometers to try to unite the two halves of the colony. Some slaves are taken from Tunisia, from the Sunnis that refused to convert either to Catholicism or Shi'a Islam. Most by now have converted to Shi'a, with some becoming Catholic. The slaves that are taken are sent primarily to Ricasolia, to work on the Sugar Plantations. There is talk of taking slaves from Madagascar, but the Schmittists are opposed.
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese continue to supply the Swedes with arms and soldiers for the ongoing Second Northern War. There is enough anit-Russian sentiment to supply an almost endless supply of Vietnamese volunteers for Sweden, but not enough to actually get Vietnamese involvement in the war. The Vietnamese continue to send aid for the seemingly endless disasters striking Nippon. Most Vietnamese and Nipponese authorities wonder what they have done to solicit such punishment.
 * Russian Troops push the Swedes out of lithuania and Livonia. . The Russians agree to peace talks in Naples. St PEtersburg is declared the capital and Russia is declared the Russian Empire. Russia asks sweden to sign a 1-year temporary ceasefire to discuss in Naples.
 * A bit hard to declare a city your capital when it is in the middle of a warzone?
 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth offers an alliance to Yemen, as an ally of Russia. King-Emperor Frederick II decides to raise a larger army in England to fight on the continent. However, negotiations begin with Sweden (negotiations which are obviously going nowhere).
 * Yemen is not an ally of Russia anymore.
 * Sweden agrees to the ceasefire in the North but reacts to the Persian invasion of Swedish India. The Scottish and Dutcch navies land in Bombay and destory the Persian fleets. Swedish troops on those ships directly attack the Persian coastline and then invade. Sweden's terms for peace are the Estonian Island, Livonia, Karelia, OTL Finland and parts of Northern Lithuania. (total around 2% of Russia). Thorlaand expands eastwards by 3050sqkm with thousands fleeing the new frontlines. Diplomatic talks are held in Rome to discuss the future of Livonia, Estonia, Finland, Lithuania and western Russia.
 * Yemen has finished building the infrastructure at their main cities. They also form an agreement with Hanthawaddy: They will receive special rights for the ports and incense trade. Yemen also agrees to allow Mons in Aden to practice Buddhism, and a possible marriage of the royal family of Chandrajit and the Yemeni royal family. Yemen has started massive recruitment for the Yemenese I Army and begins building a port at Al Ghaydah, which is planned to be the biggest port of Yemen.

Öböl expands 2750 sq km inland and southwest.

''' A famine hits Prussia starving thousands. Refugees from the war also sap the remaining Prussian food resources and now flee into Germany straining the AGC food stocks. Due to the continuing war between Russia and Sweden, and their failure to reach a compromise, revolts occur across Finland, as the Finns rise up against their Swedish and Russian oppressors.' Due to the fact that the Russians and Swedes have been arguing over the result of the war for so long, they are unable to stop these revolts from becoming successful. As a result, both are forced to Peace with the Treaty of Rome '''
 * Naples expands their colony of Ricasolia by another 1550 square kilometers to attempt to connect the two halves of the colony. Meanwhile, the Neapolitans recognize the new Finnish state as being legitimate, and hope that Russia and Sweden will not attack it. By now, almost all Neapolitan Schmittists are in Istoias, and almost all Neapolitan Jews are in Jerusalem.
 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth finds itself a largely defeated nation in 1708. The Commonwealth is both defeated by their eternal enemies the Swedes, and dissapointed with their failure to hold their own. It becomes necessary to attempt to modernize the army quickly. It is hoped that with an economy geared for the military, no new colonies, and no new wars, the armed forces can successfully equal that of the powers around them by 1718.
 * Due to near economic colapse, peter is disapointed in how this turned out, although he is relieved that swedish forces will have to cross finland to reach the imperial capital of St petersburg, he is not happy about the revolts. he feels like the AGC the need to modernize Russia more. more steam engines are used in Moscow, as more people migrate to cities, the population augments to a predicted record. many soldiers are able to fend off the finns from St Petersburg but have lost territory en masse and are not happy. Denmark capitulates and agrees to be annexed by Sweden. However, the house of Holstein-Gottorp maries into the RUssian Royal family as peter I's son Alexi(they will soon have a son, future Tsar Peter II). Peter changes the laws of succession and puts the tsar in charge of whom he wants as his sucessor. Peter, after the death of his first wife marries first crowned empress of Russia Catherine. Sweden and Russia become bitter Rivals, enemies even, as each blames the other in the creation of the finnish state that they both Resent.( I suggest that nobody fully capture finland before 1809 and nobody touch finland untill 1759 to fully implement the punishement) It is considered a miracle that Russia got to keep Archangel.
 * The Finnic uprising has raised questions about Charles Xi's leadership. The nobles are greatly unimpressed and demand an immediate attack on the Finns however Charles manages to stall them. Sweden starts to retrain its battered forces and recruit new men. Thorlaand is expanded by 3050 sqkm. Certain strange contraptions (steam engines) found during the war are brought back to Stockholm and are studied.
 * Russian Soldiers manage to take control of the major ports iga, but not many and most of the land they hold is bordering the sea. and military and naval bases in these aresa, although the final condition of them is not certain. Peter,reinforces the Russo-Finnish border in case of attack.(now that is a better way of saying you found steam engines, I mean, st petersburgh was just built and could not have them)
 * What is iga? 
 * I think that he forgot the "R" in "Riga"
 * Naples states that they will go to war to defend Finland from the overly expansionist Swedes
 * The Peace Conference will happen in the next year. It is organized by Yemen. Russian and Swedish leaders are invited to be present, to confer the peace conditions. Yemen has started to connect their city roads with village roads, and begins to plan on the new imigration ideas.
 * It is already happening in Rome
 * Ah. Haven't noticed that. Alright.
 * Hungary recoginzes the new Finnish state, while, since Denmark surrendered, Greece withdraws its support on the war, as the war already ended.after the siginign of the non-aggression pact with Naples, trade with this nation and Jerulaem increase, as relations with Naples are estabilished again.the Hungarian navy is upgraded.the 1708 census reveals that after the Hungarian defeat against Venice and the loss of most of the coastline, thousands of Croatians that lived on the littoral fled to the inland, and most settled on the regions of Croatia and Sclavonia, especially on Zagráb.more than fifty years later, Zagráb is the 7th biggest city on Hungary, according to the census.Újfunflandi és a Labrador expands 900 sq km on its southestern settlement, Neos Preveza expands 950 sq km, and Öböl expands 900 sq km south.
 * Persia declares war on Sindh Kingdom of India. Like the invasion of Multan before, the famine weakens the army, causing the kingdom to be conquered in a matter of months.
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km, The Vietnamese also reluctantly recognize the newly independant republic of Finland. They recognize Finland's potential as a buffer state, as they have become fed up with the constant feuds between Russia and Sweden. The Vietnamese help to set up the Finnish Republican Army, as the newly founded state needs protection from its hostile neighbors. Vietnamese financial aid is sent to Finland to create new schools, banks and any other resources needed for the groundwork of a permanent Finn nation to be established.
 * After months of offensive political actions against Yemen and Sweden, it has been decided, by them, to leave the Swedish alliance. People of Yemen are confused with the alliance-hopping, but the sultan doesn't do anything with it. The roads are still being built to connect the cities with towns and villages. Many yemenese people have died already from the hard work, and the sultan has personally visited some of their relatives.
 * Hanthawaddy begins modernizing its port facilities, especially Chauhhpiu. The city grows by several hundred people during the year, and has become a popular tourism destination due to its distinct style of architecture that combines Indian, Chinese, Mon, and Rakhine architecture. The wealthy owners of much property in the city are able to afford horse-drawn coaches throughout the city. A great work of literature is written during the year known as "The Tale of Nai Lo" describing the life of a nobleman in Chauhhpiu. Bi Hloa crosses the Torres Strait, annexing the islands in the strait, and continuing on the the Australian mainland for a total of 2000 sq km. The Mons see the Torres Strait as necessary to control Pacific trade, especially en route to South America.
 * Several Tibeten colonies become vassal states of China. Roads and towns are constructed, along with trade routes with Hanthawaddy and Vietnam. Meanwhile, more trade routes are proposed with Persia.
 * Countries don't "join" other countries as vassals. Countries "join" confederations where they are guaranteed maximal sovereignty. Beside, Tibet is several kingdoms, not a single state. You can vassalize a few of them but it has to be coercive in some way or other. Politics isn't a clean process.


 * France expands its military. The king Alphonse and the sultan of Algeria are disposed to pay a part of the war spending if Russia helps them in their industrialization process. The sultan of Algeria asks Persia and Yemen for alliances and to not help the mamluk in the uncoming crusade. Also Algeria will help them both in the industrialization process. Again, France asks Vietnam to sell Rochefort. The schittimists are now 1/8 of the total french population in the empire. Muslims are emmigratin into France and Haiti, and several quantities of non-christian are joining the army. The obligatory military service is abolished and France recognises the right of the muslims to practice bigamy marriages in the colonies (not in the continental french territory). Sorry, my computer didn't let me edit before.
 * The Vietnamese set up negotiations for the sale of Furansuchou, as the colony is officially called. The Vietnamese delegates hope to create a solution to suit both the French and the Vietnamese. They insist, however, that any deal made must be followed to the letter or the deal is scrapped.
 * Yemen accepts french alliance offer. Formal Alliance is now formed.

''' The famine worsens in Prussia and thousands are dying due to hunger. Anger spreads due to the AGC's lack of care for them. '''


 * NVM, problem fixed
 * Americans: keep in mind that the new turn will occur at 7 EST rather than 8 EST due to daylight saving time.
 * The Vietnamese expand their New Vietnam colony by 76*50 sq km. The Vietnamese continue to supply the Finns with resources in exchange for a trade agreement. This has the potential to be the start of a very profitable relationship between the Finns and the Vietnamese.
 * Naples expands their military, in preparation for the Crusade that is planned to begin next year. King Biondello travels to the Neapolitan Puppet state of Jerusalem and begins to bring soliders there. He will personally lead the Neapolitan soldiers in the war. Believing that it is injust to wage war for territory's sake, he states that he will only expand Jerusalem's territory, not conquer vast new tracts of land. He will not stand in the way of others doing so, however. Ricasolia is expanded by 400 square kilometers to try and connect the two halves, while Istoias is also expanded by 400 square kilometers. They also send aid to Finland in helping the Finns set up their own nation and protect themselves from Swedish and Russian expansion.
 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth continues the program of building up the armed forces to a modern level. Huge amount of resources are devoted to this, making the famine-stricken populace angry. The Commonwealth recognizes Finland, but declares that their historic alliance with Russia remains intact. They urge other nations not to ally with the deceitful Swedes, who have betrayed them twice before. (By the way, this is just a propagandistic channeling of public anger away from the government. Don't take this as a resumption of hostilities).
 * Sweden blockades the rouge Finnish state. Sweden and Scotland expand their militaries. Sweden aids convoys of food to Prussia and but only manages to relieves the famine only a little, however a major boost in the Prussian public opinion is seen. Thorlaand expands eastwards by 3050sqkm. The strange machines are worked on by Sweden's best minds but no breakthroughs are made.
 * The Vietnamese declare that a trading relationship has begun between Vietnam and Finland. The Vietnamese request that Vietnamese trading vessels sent to Finland not be interfered with. Regardless, many merchant ships are now accompanied by military escort. The Vietnamese Emperor states that the situation in Finland wouldn't have happened if "Sweden and Russia settled their issues diplomatically instead of squabbling like spoiled children".
 * Persia stops its military campaigns so it could be able to strengthen, modernize, and develop the army. It has asked Russia to give it modern military technologies.
 * Yemen has finished constructing dirt-paved roads connecting their cities with villages and towns and they now begin a massive recruitment process for the Yemenese II Army and Yemen State Protection Unit, for internal protection of their citizens(AKA Police, but not yet modernized, and not well-trained).
 * Finland begins to build up their military so that they are remain independent and to better protect themselves. Finland also asks for an alliance with Vietnam.
 * Queen Lucentia of Naples sends a proposal for an alliance with Finland
 * Finland gladly accepts Naples' offer of alliance.

 * Russia sadly accepts the fact that they lost control of Finland, but still aknowledges that they can take it ovefr in a year-long campaeign due to its population. Russia sees a great purpose in FInland, and asks finland if they can have an alliance. Russia sends a Candidate for the Tsar of Finland from one of their old Karelian Boyars and negotiate keep the lands of the Ladoga Lake and parts of karelia to help connect Muramansk and Russia. propoer blockaded by Finns. Russia offers a very lucious bribe of 150 000-300 000 rubles to Finland for these areas if they accept.PEter begins another one of his reforms establishing the senate instead of the boyar duma. Russia manages to sieze all of courland, filling in the holes left behind by the swedes. RUssia also manages to annex pskov back(the little part of Russia that estland has). nobody occupies the estonian island so nobody is sure witch nation owns them.
 * Finland refuses to gives up its lands, but will allow Russia to pass through Finland freely in order to get to Murmansk or they can just simply sail there without going through land at all. Finland though accepts Russian alliance, but only if Russia does not try to take over Finland or anything of that sort.
 * In witch case I have another proposal I wish to discuss in private, but not now. -Lx
 * Itsaygahi vassal Natchez continues to expand north, aiming to reach the Great Lakes. For now, they continue to follow the course of the Mixxixxippi River, though a few settle the Ohayo River. Elsewhere, the deconstruction of the large cities is completed. Bizarrely this turns political development backwards, with noblemen and princelings gaining more power at the expense of the former city-burghers.
 * This year, Hanthawaddy officially combines the colonies of Bi Hloa and Katimon into the colony of Ngainkeh, from ngenkep meaning "heart" in the Erub dialect of the Mer language spoken on the OTL Torres Strait Island of Darnley. The new settlement on the north peninsula of Australia is renamed Incinao, and expands south at 1800 sq km. Hanthawaddy continues facing rebellion, but nevertheless Hanthawaddy manages to expand further into the southern part of the Mughal Empire, taking some of the major towns. Many Mons begin migrating to the area from the northern regions in order to find better land.
 * China continues to urbanize and expand its military. They announce plans to combine their Baja colonies with the Mayan/Aztec colonies sometime in the next few decades, though they also want to capture more land in Asia as well.
 * Alphonse I creates more schools and medical centers in France and Algeria. He builds up the country's military. Beyazid I, sultan of Algeria until this year, after his father's death during a campaign against the berber barbarians, starts to introduce changes in the Algerian cult of Islam, like more freedom to women and non-muslims. The schittimists in Malouinas are starting to create new institutions to the religion, and are introducing in their own cult rituals of the Islam and the Christiandom. The uncoming crusade now is a retake of the holy land (Mecca and Medinah) to the muslims, who will name his Sultan as Caliph of the Islam. If Yemen helps France in the crusade, the Sultan of that country will be named Amir al-Mu'minin (Emir of the Faithful), the second title in importance in the islamic religion after the Caliph.
 * Sorry if it seems China is expanding a little to quickly in Asia. They did have a period of doing this in OTL and I also wanted to change China's shape from the same old shape it's been for most of the map game.
 * THANK YOU! I hated that strange shape with the giant panhandle, it looked awkward.
 * You wanna finally take over Tibet according to our treaty from hundreds of years ago?
 * Yes please. And yeah, my friends kept saying it looked... phallic.

''' The famine worsens in Prussia. Thousands are dead and refugees flee into Germany. Around 30% of the Prussian population is dead and mass public unrest develops in the region as the AGC government has done nothing to help. '''

''' Stockholm is hit by a plague outbreak. '''
 * Naples and the Papal States send aid up north to Anglo-Germany, to help them deal with the horrible famine.

Peter Modernizes his army. More and more steelsmiths and otehr workers begin to use the Steam engine for faster and more efficient stuff. A weaponsmith in Penza discovers a way to make very good and efficiant rifeling in mass quantaties using this slightly modified engine. his name is Alexi Gritsai. the technique is showed to the Tsar and he imediately falls in love with it and labels it top secret. the reliability of this method, named Penzovskoe(or Gritsaiskoe) nareznoe oruzhenie[in english Penza(or Gritsai) Rifling]. Gritsai is charged with producing enough to farnish the spetsnaz with rifels. Peter and his consort Catherine are crowned as Emperor and Empress consort of all the Russias. Peter changes the style of adress to H/HEr Imperial Highness and posseses now the title Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias, tsar of Lithuania.
 * Naples's diplomats to Russia and Finland suggest that showing the Finns a map would help negotciate what they ought to buy.

 * The king Alphonse I of France declares the war to the Mamluk Empire and sends his troops to invade the Sinai and the northern Egypt. The muslims french allies (mostly algerians) go to fight for recover the Holy Land in the name of the self-proclaimed Caliph Beyazid, who goes to war in company of the duke of Brittany and the Archbishop of Avignon himself, who creates the Order of the King Robert III (he asks the Poepe to declare Robert III a Saint). The schttimists, who rule in the colonies of America also send aid and troops to the invasion, while other troops conquer 2000 sq km in Malouinas for the French Empire. Alphonse asks for help to his second-cousin, the Queen Lucentia, and Biondello in the invasion of Arabia. Ambassadors in Constantinople asks greek help in the invasion of Alxandria. France also asks swedish and burgundian help in the war. The Caliph asks for help to Yemen (in exchange, he will declare the Sultan of Yemen Emir of the Faithful) and Persia to defeat the "usurpers of the Holy Land".
 * King Biondello leads the army of Israel across the Jordan river as they begin the Crusade against the Mamluk Empire.

 * Eldwolf was a quite hotheaded user who threw a temper tantrum when we told him he couldn't annex more of Portugal, despite the fancy war resulkt algorithm tellin g him he would get only a tiny percentage. He later went on a rampage after the head honchos decided to temorarily ban him. He anonomously vandalized the talkpages of the TSPTF and this map game, and replaced the map game page with his own hateful ranting. He ended up get banned pretty much permanently for that tantrum. In short it was a case of "good riddance to bad rubbish". 
 * Oh. Ok.


 * I'm confused! This isn't the 1990's! At this time no nation would put on a major aid program, especially an area which still has a relatively low population, like Prussia! This is before industrialization, so the transport of food and supplies on a huge scale would be extremely difficult!
 * The Anglo-German Commonwealth sends troops to crush a popular uprising in Prussia, which is still only minor. The Swedes are warned not to attempt to coerce revolution into the Prussians. An alliance is asked between the Commonwealth and the Finns, in case of invasion. Finally, full scale developement of the army is continuing.

1711

 * Naples' Queen Lucentia urges Sweden to cease blockading the Finns.
