Algorithm Template
Because the current algorithm looks like s***, I've taken it upon myself to do the players a favor and create an algo template that is more becoming of a map game of PMIII's caliber. Enjoy. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 18:40, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

Color Key

All regions are shown according to their plurality religion.

Catholicism is yellow; the Western Church nations are shown in dark gold, and Catholic states whose churches function independently of the Roman Church are shown in pale yellow. Ludwigism is shown in bright gold. Eastern Orthodoxy is orange; Oriental Orthodox sub-branches are burnt orange. *Reformism is red. Sunni Islam is lime green, Shia Islam is forest green; Ibadiyya Islam is dark green, Assafi Islam is bright green, and Paganistic Islam is mint green. The Mastorava is teal blue, Hinduism is sky blue, and Buddhism is dark blue; the Bon religion is pale blue, and Mongolian Buddhism is grey-blue. Confucianism is purple, while Shintoism is violet. Other "pagan" religions are pink; the Mesoamerican pantheon is light pink, the South American pantheon is hot pink, the North American pantheon is fuchsia, and the African pantheons are all dark pink. Other religions will be added as needed.

Notes Issues and Discussion
 * Added coloration for the Mastorava, Assafi, and Paganist-Islam sects.
 * Switched pale yellow from Sedevacantist to independent-Catholic.
 * Venice is still "Catholic" for the time being, but it will be shown as independent-Catholic when the Venetian player announces that his church takes orders from him instead of Rome.
 * Ayutthaya and its vassals are now Buddhist.
 * Tartary and its vassals are now Mastoravic.
 * Added Ludwigism Blocky858 (talk) 00:45, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Spain has expanded in south africa, and buenos aires, has expanded kongo, and Morocco, and has conquered part of the Mayans. Please add this to the map MS

Scratch the mayans being partly conquered, they were outright conquered. Also Mapuche were taken by Spain, and their color needs to be moved to OTL Sau Paulo in Brazil as im moving them since me and Sonar are at an understanding. -Feud

Australian Aboriginal Tribes
European nations were not allowed to come into contact with the Aborigines of Australia until the 18th Century, this made Australia pretty much undiscovered. I think the Aboriginal tribes were controlled by moderators by now, which is why most of Australia is black which I think signifies unexplored areas. Now unlike the Europeans, the Aborigines however do know a little about Australia and where what tribe is settled so would it be possible for me to utilize this map of Australia? (I'll edit it so as to unite the northern tribes into Marrikuwuyanga)

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2cfphle&s=8

- RexImperio (talk) 10:56, May 5, 2014 (UTC)

Black signifies areas which are in a tribal, non-state-like form of government, as the Aboriginal groups were prior to European colonisation. You'll notice that on the map, the Marrikuwuyanga are light grey, to signify that (thanks to mod events) they are essentially an organised, state-style government (although still quite underdeveloped). After you've played as the Marrikuwuyanga for a while, it will be coloured in a distinctive colour to show that it is a player-controlled nation. You'll notice that around where Sydney is otl, there is a dark grey section of land which represents the Tharawal, who are semi-organised, but still essentially tribal.

A much better and more accurate map is this one from the ABC's Indigenous site.

The war will not be taking 12 years, nor will Banu Sulaym have *1.5 - the first revolt happened 25 years ago. Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:38, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

12 year war between a major regional power and a bunch of disorganized rebels who have no serious weaponry (like artillery, etc).

2/10 would not call plausible.

(Also, before you draw up comparizons to the Vietnam war, the Viet Cong and the NVA were heavily armed, outnumbered the US troops, were extremely well organized, had huge amounts of popular support, knew how to fight in the terrain, and were supported by the OTHER major world power).

Resignation
Sorry everyone, I have not been able to post for the last week or so due to an illness in the family, and with exams and everything coming up I do not have the time to post. I think it is best that I take time off and resign from the game. I will probably be able to come back in about 50 turns or so, as a different country of course.

I have one request: please do not chew up and spit the Ottoman Empire up in less than a decade. The Ottomans at this time were at a high point in their political and territorial influence, and it is unfortunate that I will have to miss out on this. Obviously they're destined to fall, but at least try to be plausible about it (I remember my nation was taken over in less than one turn last game, lol.)

Hope to be back soon. Good luck to everyone in Arabia, may you give the Europeans a hard time--just don't attempt to create another Caliphate ;)

I think the troop numbers are probably about right. Remember the tribes they are fighting are stone-age bands (I don't mean that in a derogatory way, it's just a fact). Callumthered (talk) 02:06, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

Exponential population growth
After some random discussion on the chat, I wanted to know what formula is used to determine the growth of population.

I mean, it could increase by a few percent every year, but as far as I know it should be this

Pt=P0*e^(r*t)

With Pt being the current population

P0 starting one

e being... well e

r growth per year

and t being time.

I wish to ask the mods, what is the % of r for nations?

Sky Green 24 15:15, May 9, 2014 (UTC)

Depends on the nation and the time period.

Any algo for population would be either very innacurate or ridiculously complex, so I don't think there's any point.

The mods will correct implausible population growth. Think about 1% for this time period (not counting additions, of course- for instance, my nation has expanded quite a bit over the last 40 years, which is why it's population has doubled.

Even if you did happen to denounce Christianity in your nation, the Muslim zealots would still be infuriated by your alleged freedom and tolerance for the heathens. Upon further inspection however it's clear that you never actually did denounce Christianity, in fact in the turn right after the assassination you claimed you were converting to Orthodox.

Sorry but the Russians may not join this war, they would need to wage their own war on Scandinavia and as they are 1. Russian and this is an HRE war not a Russian one. 2. They are located on the Eurasion front and not the Eastern European front. Russian forces would need their own algo against scandinavia as well as their own war. This is non negotiable.

I believe that this war isn't separate. We declared war as a direct result of the war in Germany to aid our allies against a mutual enemy. I don't see why we would make a separate algorithm. We basically made two and put it in one, using the new fronts system that you yourself pioneered. If you don't want us to use that then remove it from the rules, but we will follow the rules and use the front system. Fritzmet (talk) 22:09, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

For one, 10,000 troops are coming from Hungary - so less points there. Plus, Hungary will be an (M) too, so this algo needs to be changed. Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:30, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

Not that I'm involved, but we need to define "non-lethal". As the one who wrote that motive section, I meant that the difference between the scores is less than the lower value. To put it in another sense, winner/loser is less than one.

Course, I defer to Feud here.

Is it really possible for Scandinavia's vassals to send support to the Russian front? And why are they listed as fives and fours when their capitals (including Scandinavia's) are a thousand miles away? It's also impossible for Scandinavia to send 50,000 to both fronts, let alone 60 or 70. Scandinavia also clearly has four vassals, and Bremen should at most be 9, not 10. Also, what's with all these 5 motives when at most they should be three?

I haven't got to the Russian algorithm yet, as that may be removed, but I fixed some things in the German one. Mscoree (talk) 00:25, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

Let's start out by saying that Ms deserves to be impeached for starting this powder keg when he not only knew that one of his cronies wanted to attack me, but for subsequently having nations under his own watch (Brandenburg and Bohemia) attack me. Ms is a corrupt mod. I have pointed this out time and again. Not sure why other people haven't listened to me. Secondly, the other nations on my side need to be added. Andrew said that Albion, Wales, Scotland, and Brittany are supporting me against the Germans. Netherlands and all of her vassals have declared war as well. Prussia and Mazonia also need to be added. All of these guys are leaders. Hungary is aiding me with troops, as is the Byzantine Empire. There are the sides of the war. Sigh... Bananananananana BAT-CRIM 03:02, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

MS didn't start anything. He made an event that was later removed anyway, so its involvement is irrelevant. Austria isn't even involved, nor are his "cronies" (although every time you disagree with someone that definition grows). Based on the behavior I've seen from you this evening I'm not sure who the real bad mod is. You spent all this time insulting, harassing, and "acting drunken", to the point where Feud and everyone else in chat had to ask you to stop. And now the algorithm is locked for the night until you can calm down thanks to your immature behavior. Overall this is not the behavior I'd expect from a moderator, let alone an admin, and I recommend you spend the time this algorithm is locked to actually take a step back from things, lest you make things even worse for yourself. Fritzmet (talk) 03:09, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

^^ Plus Albion's support and the Neth. will be added tomorrow. Cookiedamage (talk) 03:11, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

Note how I said Brandenburg and Bohemia. Not Austria. I don't think you know what I mean by cronies. As explained MANY TIMES, they are people who follow Ms constantly, not people I disagree with. I spent absolutely zero time harassing anybody. The sorts of insults I flung were, to be honest, earned and deserved due to peoples' inability to actually read. If you think that was bad, you are not going to like LG. I was, to be honest, being an ass. The algorithm is locked because Ms is biased and you people think I'm biased. It's to prevent a shitstorm. If you would read into a situation instead of just scratch the surface, you would know this. I know your reading comprehension is not top-notch, however, so I'll sum it up. Fritz, you're wrong about everything that you said. Bananananananana BAT-CRIM 03:22, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

 * Third, there's almost no possible way Crim can have 70,000 troops fight on the Russian front. His entire army might, and that's a big might, be 70,000 strong, which comes out to around 3% of a population of 2.5 million, which I doubt Scandinavia has. The prospect of using the entire army numbers for a single front, when it can't possible accomplish, is insane.

I'm sending 10 dragons to aid Scandinavia, +10 for each dragon (jk). But as far as I've read on the 1498 turn, Novgorod is attacking to aid Hamburg (Motive: Aiding an ally), which doesn't really seem like a good reason to break a treaty. But anyways, another thing is that I don't see why the rest of Russia would suddenly rush to aid Novgorod in aiding Hamburg. And furthremore, Scandinavia is in some trade/military alliance with Albion and Netherlands. So no matter how the war ends most Russian nations would have issues when it comes to trading with the west.

This algorithm needs a lot of work. Mscoree (talk) 02:15, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

Ok, so I have gone ahead and taken care of a few things. Firstly, you messed up the location. You would get a 4 and he would get a 5. You get a 14 for 5+5+5-2-2+3 for nations per side.

Then there are development scores. According to the NPC bonus, the NPC gets dev. scores for each year not in a war, so they get 20 years worth of dev. 7 years go into infra., 7 towards econ., and then 6 into mil.

You do not get high morale seeing as your chance is under 4. Furthermore, I'd assume the other nation would have support in defending the motherland. I had a mod's ok to do this, but all decisions can be debated, in theory. 02:46, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

Read the rules Rex. For the 20 years, the scores are then divided by 2 and rounded to the nearest whole number. The military score will not be 14, but in fact 4. Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:55, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

And I am having serious worries about the counting ability of some. Imp (Say Hi?!) 16:58, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

^ Same. I'm not sure what you're counting, Rex.

Agh, I forgot that about the Location.

This new rule is extremely stupid; it allows for Vivimpires once more.

I'm fixing it.

Furthermore, as the rules clearly state, NPCs don't get support unless the mods say so in a mod event.

Possible Treaty-breaking penalty
In the recent war, two non-aggression pacts were broken: Novgorod->Scandinavia, and Prussia->Hamburg. Issues (especially the Novgorod one) were raised on chat, ranging from "they can't do that", to "they can break the treaty". Either way, I believe this will set a dangerous precedent, therefore, I'm suggesting a penalty be put in place if a nation breaks a non-aggression pact. The amount will be up to the mods.

Futhermore, other nations would stop respecting a nation, an effective death notice for some time in the future.

I assume we're just going to add a subtraction in the algorithm. Another alternative would be to have some sort of revolt if a nation does it twice within a certain amount of time. I think it should also be dependent on the level of treat. Breaking a trade agreement or something minor should be no effect, and maybe from a minor war (less than a certain amount of points in the previous algorithm) can have a lesser affect than a major war. Just some ideas there. Mscoree (talk) 14:47, May 12, 2014 (UTC)

A points hit in the algorithm could work, and for repeat offenders, possible revolts. It is a logical step, there are several games like EUIV that illustrate the instability of breaking a treaty, not to mention OTL instances in which the aggressor nations were looked on with distrust following the event. I don't think penalties should exist for breaking something minor like a trade agreement or cancelling diplomatic relations, only if they break alliances and Non aggression pacts.ALLONS-Y!!,Basically, RUN!! 14:50, May 12, 2014 (UTC)

Agreed. Probably something like this:
 * Minor Agreements (Trade, Relations, etc): 0
 * Minor War (Victory less than 15%): -1
 * Major War (Victory over 15%): -2
 * Second Offense within current reign and/or ten years (Of either of the last two): -4

The numbers may be tweaked, but I think something like that makes sense. Also possible revolts, apply as needed, for two or more offenses, and of course the general distrust other nations will surely feel. Mscoree (talk) 18:20, May 12, 2014 (UTC)

or the nations could get an automatic "War not Supported by People" in their motive? with stacking in the past 15 years?-Lx (leave me a message) 00:02, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

Editing Past Turns
Hey, guys. Something that I noticed that was happening big time during the last major war: people editing past turns. We used to crack down on this hard in Principia Moderni II and I'm not sure why we aren't now. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why a user may want to edit a past turn. However, it's up to a user to make sure that his/her post remains on the page. Mods will help you out on this, but it ultimately falls on your shoulders. During this war, I saw people posting in turns that were over, adding things to their posts or even adding posts in general. We allow a window of opportunity after midnight UTC to add or edit your posts. Let's stick to this window.

We are going to start cracking down on this again. Apologies to anybody who was unclear on this rule.

Thanks,

Bananananananana BAT-CRIM 19:20, May 12, 2014 (UTC)

As it stands, nobody is allowed to edit a previous turn after 06:00 UTC (about midnight in some areas). However, since many may not have been able to make their edit before that time, some go ahead with it either when they wake up, or when they have the time (since many of the players have jobs, at least I hope they do). So it truly depends on the situtation of the player. It would be up to the mods to figure out the time tables of each player, and depending on their circumstances, I can possibly see some allowances to the rule. But like I said, it all depends on the individual player's circumstances. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:28, May 12, 2014 (UTC)

The accepted norm since Lurk cracked down hard on past turns' is you are allowed ~1 hr after the end of the year to post. Not much more. Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:24, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

Uhh... not to nag, but for some ~1 hr after the end of the year is 3 A.M. What I would like to suggest is that for players with that issue, they are allowed to post their turns 'till 6 A.M. UTC, but aren't allowed to declare war, offer treaties, trade agreements etc. if they post after the new turn starts Sky Green 24 15:24, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

May i have Michigan?
I would like Michigan as a nation soon, after it gains independence. Is this alright? In the mean time, with the mayans dead, i would like to be the Vatican City again. May i?

There will be no jumping around to different nations. The rules technically don't allow it, unless the user's first nation is destroyed. Once you commit to a nation, you cannot change. If you're waiting for a nation, you may not sign up as another nation in the meantime, you will just have to wait. Cour *talk* 21:44, May 12, 2014 (UTC)

Location
Look, I'm not trying to be annoying about this- and it works fine for now- but this kind of "location doesn't matter" attitude is what led to the Caliphate and the Vivimpires (no offense intended, Viva; it's just the common lingo). At the present moment, Castille could probably annex the Fusahito Theocracy, or at least get a percentage north of 33%.

However, I do see some of the reasoning for the switch from multiple of five, so instead let me suggest this:

Location is done in PENALTIES, of power of two. Alternately, multiples of four. Thoughts, anyone?
 * At Location of War: -(2^0) = -1 (You still have to move your troops, after all)
 * Bordering Location of War: -(2^1) = -2
 * Near Location of War: -(2^2) = -4
 * Close to Location of War: -(2^3) = -8
 * Far from Location of War: -(2^4) = -16
 * Other side of the world: -(2^5) = -32
 * At War: +20
 * Bordering War: +16
 * Near War: +12
 * Close to War: +8
 * Far from War: +4
 * Other side of the world: +0

I have to say, it matters less right now, but in the next couple of centuries- especially in the 1600s and 1700s, before industrialization- location implausibility will become huge.

23:04, May 12, 2014 (UTC)

The Caliphate was, besides Ethiopia, completely contiguous and only declared war on contiguous states, so no, that doesn't support you, but I do see a need for distance to become a factor. Being able to lead a war half a continent away should be made harder. A continuous penalty of one though wouldn't make sense, as it would basically make participation a 9. Saamwiil, the Humble 02:21, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

The penalty system is much better/plausible/makes sense. The invader is the one that has to deal with transporting soldiers, resources, provide shelter thus it would be simple to say that the invader must suffer penalties. But that's only my opinion

~ RexImperio

I prefer the penalty option. The defender will always get a minus one- but hey, they have to move their troops too; and the attacker can get a -2 at best, since they still have to move across the border.

20:59, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

I think the penalty system is fine, but somebody who can conceptualize math better should make sure that the lower overall scores will not mess up the algo formula for results. 23:31, May 14, 2014 (UTC)

No, I calculated. It still will not be possible to get negative scores, unless you are attacking from the other side of the world with absolutely no development- which would never be done, of course. To completely forestall that, participation could be raised to 15 for both sides.

23:39, May 14, 2014 (UTC)

Teraty-Breaking Proposition...and something more
as you guys know, History is not all sunshine and butterflies, and, sometimes, despite some nations' best intentions, and learders' competance, sometimes politics, intrigue, and downright bad luck ruin crops, spur religious fundamentalism(decrying the governement as sinful, and detatched from devine will), or simply rival politicians looking for vengance(I'm looking at you Congressman Underwood). so I hereby propose that a system, combining ruler age, political family/dynasty, reign length, war outcome, warmongering, treaty-breaking, and base "revolt risk" and perhaps more to combine to a chance to have a negative mod event hit every nation, and, if not dealt with, be headed for full-on rebellion.-Lx (leave me a message) 01:24, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

100% agreed. Bfoxius (talk)

Questions
1) Is there a certain limit to the number of wars that may take place in let's say '10 years'

2) I have seen some people expand 1000-4000km while some expand 50km. Any particular reason for the difference?

3) How do we know which nation has a stronger military or economy other than the point system? I mean if a tribal nation and a nation in Europe develop their economy each turn, they'd end up with equal points..

4) If one army uses gunpowder weaponry whilst another uses swords, where one the algorithm would the former gain a bonus?

5) When PvP wars end and one nation gets 33% 34% land from the opponent, will the loser have all of his land annexed? Or to show plausibility and also role play; will a treaty be formed?

~ RexImperio

1. There isn't necessarily a limit, but at the same time you need to make sure it's plausible. Having too many wars will bankrupt your nation and heavily lower your stability. Having more than two in a decade, especially expansionist/offensive wars will likely collapse your nation.

2. Details on how fast you can colonize can be found on the rules page. Some nations can expand faster than others, and older colonies can also expand faster. This again comes down to plausibility too, meaning even if a nation is allowed to expand say 5000 sq mi, it doesn't mean they can/should expand by that much constantly.

3. This is something that is often criticized about the algorithm. For the most part anyway a nation that has a higher quality military will feel that effect somewhere else in the algorithm, such as number of troops.

4. That currently isn't accounted for in the algorithm, but perhaps that can be a new addition soon.

5. If a nation gets 34% or higher in an algorithm it means they topple to enemy government. From here you can theoretically do whatever you want, such as annex all their land, but in practice for plausibility the gains have to make sense, and the attacker must be capable of actually taking that particular land. Either way a treaty is usually formed.

Anyway, I hopes that helps to answer some of your questions. Mscoree (talk) 18:00, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, it was indeed helpful - RexImperio

'''Actually, no. '''Technology IS factored in, as a country with better tech will have a much bigger economy, population, and thus more troops, etc.

When industrialization comes in, that'll grant a multiplier.

Discussion
Imp will come and fix things ~Andrew

I would seriously like to question the plausibility of Albion deciding to launch an unprovoked, amphibious, 90,000 man invasion only two years after they were involved in a full-scale war. Really think about it, would the populace be ready to launch an invasion so soon? I think not. I am that guy (talk) 03:52, May 14, 2014 (UTC)

Revenge has caused a lot of wars OTL. Its the same ATL. Imp (Say Hi?!) 13:20, May 14, 2014 (UTC)

We all just got done got done with one of the largest wars in PMIII, we all lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and now he wants to invade unprovoked only two years later? And he wants to do it in some D-Day scale amphibious invasion? There's no way any country would launch an invasion like this after only one year of peace, its insane, it's not smart economically, it's not smart politically, it's not smart militarily. Any reasonable country would wait years, wait for the people to move on from the last war, wait for his military to fully recover, and wait for his supplies to recover. I'm not saying he can't have his war of revenge, I'm saying a war of revenge after only a year of peace after the largest war he's been involved in is crazily implausible. I am that guy (talk) 13:36, May 14, 2014 (UTC)

Not really that implausible, Scandinavia is ruled by an implausible ruler. If he is, for example, as eccentric as Louis XIV, he could pull a move like this. Of course it would further hurt the Scandinavian economy, influence the trade in that are and stuff like that.

TL;DR He can do it, it's just not a smart idea. Sky Green 24 14:35, May 14, 2014 (UTC)

Technically I didn't lose much but a little bit of resources in the last war. Revenge, as imp said, is a powerful motivator. Politically it make more since for me to have a retaliton strike than to wait a decade then do it. My troop strength and economy were largely uneffected. Yak and I were probably the only to nations involved that didnt get demolished economically and actually emerged somewhat ok. As for the population arguement, when you've pissed off an entire nation of people they dont listen to reasonable arguements, they want their payback.ALLONS-Y!!,Basically, RUN!! 16:11, May 14, 2014 (UTC)

ASB collapse of the Philidelphi
Moved from gamepage:

'''A freak storm causes several ships to collide in the canal, blocking it off. To further complicate things, large amounts of sand is dumped into the canal by the winds trapping many more ships. This incident closes off the canal with repairs expected to take at least a decade. It also calls into question the feasibility of the canal itself as yearly dredging costs seem to be higher than the benefit to the Alexandrians.'''
 * I'm sorry, but nature just doesn't work like that. A canal is a massive national project, and the idea that a "freak storm" could destroy a heavily reinforced man-made canal is both implausible and impossible. Canals are designed to weather the assaults of nature, and go so far as to cut into the land. No amount of sand will ever be able to shut down a 120 mile long canal built into the land. Even when the canal was purposefully blocked by Nasser in the 1960-70s, the Egyptians had to sink whole ships just to block off portions of the canal. Plus, that region is very stable weather-wise. Your not going to have any major storms in that region since there isn't enough cold air in the area to interfere with the warm air cells that blanket the region. So no storms unless you can plausibly explain the climate and geography that could permit such an event. ~Viva


 * 'Tis slightly different, however, there is the hydroelectric dam in Egypt that is being slowlyblocked by sand, because a flaw in the design of the architecture. A canal in 1500 A.C.E. is bound to have plentyof arcitectural flaws, not to mention the lack of the support of modern equipment.
 * Yeah, another negative mod event :/ Could you (preferably signed) explain how ships would collide due to storm. I presume that many of the ships would dock when they see a massive storm coming (especially if its someting they have never seen that bad before). I just dont really understand this event. If the storm is really that massive shouldnt it effect a lot more than just Alexandria.
 * This event is somewhat BS. Yes, it IS possible for a storm to wreck a couple of ships as they pass through the canal, but it's highly unlikely, and it would take just two or three other ships to pull said ship out of the canal. Total repair time: one week. Plus, what, ten years because if it's non-European it can't succeed? Ebul Mosslems must die? ~G

My personal opinion is that it IS somewhat ASB. 22:17, May 14, 2014 (UTC)

If the mods want to punish Alexandria (which would be the only explicable motive) then they should attack the nation, not the Canal. The Canal was already ruled plausible, and therefore any attempts to destroy it due to plausibility should be stopped. 23:47, May 14, 2014 (UTC)

And destroying a plausible canal implausibly is NOT the way to go.

I think you've punished Alexandria enough, anyway- they just had a rebellion.

00:02, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

I feel like it might be meant as a punishment for all eastern mediteranean countries, as we have just formed a trade alliance, with the intent of setting up trade ports along the african coast. Stephanus rex (talk) 01:23, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

I doubt that it is in order to punish you for the alliance, however, the consequences of the canal being blocked are damage to the economy of any nation that trades in Asia. I don't quite understand why anyone would want that, especially since most of the mods own nations that depend on the canal. Sky Green 24 13:18, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

Blocking it like that is ASB by itself - destroying it, completely and utterly ASB. Lordganon (talk) 13:20, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

I do not support the blocking of the canal, which as desribed by others above, is ASB. My nation, as well as many from Europe, have come to rely heavily on the canal for trade in Asia, which would otherwise be a long and very expensive venture.ALLONS-Y!!,Basically, RUN!! 15:57, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

ASB as Hell
<p style="margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"> '''Pirates block the Strait of Malacca and any access between the Asian mainland and Sumatra. As soon as supplies for the Thai soldiers shrivel up, the recently oppressed populations of four different kingdoms conquered within ten years by Ayutthaya launch an open rebellion. Even Aceh rebels against the Thais. The six rebellious kingdoms have near universal support and are essentially in a state of total war. (+10 in the algo) (Undoubled scores: 10, 10, 10)'''

'''Ok, this is some GIANT Bullshit. Firstly, Ayutthaya has one of the largest fleets in the world. Pirates would be smashed to pieces in a week. Next, Aceh? They've been rules by Ayutthaya for nearly 50 years, and they weren't oppressed; we vassalized them by MARRIAGE. Tualng Bawang and Selebar both have many of their nobles in Ayutthaya, and all the noble's children, AND are tied by marriage to Ayutthaya. Who's leading this rebellion? Next, there is no reason for the peasants to rebel- nationalism doesn't exist yet, and frankly speaking, we're of the same culture and general religion. Aru and Siak have basically been rebuilt by Ayutthaya. Their economies revolve around AYutthaya. Furthermore, they too have their children in Ayutthaya. Basically, only Pagaruyung and Sunda can plausibly rebel, and NEITHER would have access blocked off by this ASB "closure" of the Straits. '''

This is MAJOR BS. Ayutthayan law ensures that the nobles of all Kingdoms under Ayutthaya must have their nobles send their children to Ayutthaya for education. Admittedly, this doesn't cover Pagruyung and Sunda, but it does cover the two stable nations, whose relations with us were sealed by marriage. Aceh makes NO sense, it's like Texas revolting today because they weren't always part of the USA. No reason other than HEY LOOK WE WERE ONCE PART OF MEXICO THAT WAS FUN. Aru was basically rebuilt by us- they were extremely disorganized before be basically built their economy ground up. They rebel, they all die of starvation in week two. Siak, basically, same thing.

Oh, and let's not forget; PIRATES? REALLY? Ayutthaya has one of the LARGEST navies in the world. Maybe Castille and China have larger. There is exactly ZERO plausibility in a group of pirates- even a FLEET- doing this.

Also, this would affect the Dutch too, as they took part of Sunda in exchange for their aid.

00:14, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

ALSO, if you lot actually READ any of my turns, you'd see that I made revolts of my own without mod prompting? I had a giant civil war, then another three rebellions.

My point is, I agree, a rebellion is plausible in the conquered states. But in Aceh? It's been a Ayutthayan vassal for 50 years. It was never once oppressed. Not once have Ayutthayan troops marched into Aceh. Aceh was sealed with a MARRIAGE. Aru? The state with no economy, no infrastructure, no central government, where I spent 10 years stabilziing it and basically built it from the ground? What are they revolting against, pray tell? Prosperity? Peace? Because people HATE those. Siak? Sure! It's not like we basically fought a war for them! It's not like we tripled their economy in 20 years. I mean, gosh! Why would ANYONE like being rich?

Furthermore, I'm of the same culture as ALL of these nations. Just saying.

Basically, this is some of the most meta-gaming Bullshit I've seen since the GCC.

00:49, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

I second Scraw's motion, and I do think all of those states revolting at once is a bit much. Escalation over time is theoretically possible, or the rebels could become powerful enough to make siginificant progress, but all those states revolting at the same time seems a little unlikely.

"<font color="#AACC99">This is not your grave  but you are welcome in it. " 01:22, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

For the culture, I'm sure that we can agree that Ayutthaya is a muslim country, right? Because it has the same culture as Aceh, and the rest of its empire. I think we can also agree that, in Ayutthaya, Thai cannot be spoken, because it's a Tai-Kadai language; because Ayutthaya has the same culture as its vassals, they speek some sort of Austronesian language. I think history shows that Muslims LOVE to be ruled by Buddhist, and Buddhist love to rule over Muslims as Myanmar has shown. But that is irrelivant, since Ayutthaya IS a Muslim country, as the majority of their population would suggest, who by the way, have culturally no reason to revolt. Saamwiil, the Humble 01:34, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

I have to admit, the event wasn't plausible. Many waged numerous wars of expansion, and didn't snap like a Kit-Kat. China, Rome, the Mongol Empire, and Spain are some examples. Any rebellious they faced, even large ones, were dealt with quickly, violently, and successfully, and their empires went bacck to sleep so to speak. Just because you think quick expansion leads to destruction, doesn't make it a fact. Napoleonic France was only crushed with the aid of the Russians. The British were spent by the war expenses, and they lacked the manpower to take on all of continental Europe, which was under Napoleon's control. Only when the Russians, who had to manpower to get involved supported the Fifth (or was it the Sixth?) Coalition to defeat Napoleon, that France fell. Same with Nazi Germany, it was only once the United States got involved that Hitler was defeated, as the Soviet Union was quickly exhausting its manpower to fight Hitler. So quick expansion does no correlate to quick collapse. It's only when the leaders fight the wrong enemy during a current war on several fronts that collapse becomes evident. Rome was expanding all of the time, but it was always fighting on a single front with one or two enemies. Only in the late empire when Rome was fighting on multiple fronts against multiple enemies did it collapse. Same cannot be said here. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 03:26, May 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * The invasion resulted in the beginning of the sixth coalition. And after thinking about it, I have to agree, his has been aggressive, but I think he hasn't quite overexpanded just yet. But, if this was EUIV, there would be a coalition comprising of half of SE Asia against him due to his aggressive expansion (Gotta work on coring your new territory Guns ;) ).

Talk about vastly overstating the strength of pirates. Lordganon (talk) 12:39, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

I agree that perhaps priates aren't the right vehicle to start this event. Maybe a rebellious general/army instead? Either way you need an event, considering you've been expanding exponentially into hostile and disorganized territory, and have aggressively expanded through conquest several times in the last decade. Mscoree (talk) 14:32, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

This isn't 1970s Africa. Generals of this time didn't just "rebel" for no reason, and rarely did when there was much glory to be won from winning in wars such as these. In fact, you rarely, almost never, hear of a general breaking from his government during an series of conflicts, as they could gain much power from fighting for their government, instead of against it, especially given that there were many active armies that could be sent to deal with him. The only time a general rebels is typically during peacetime, when no other forces can stop him. And LG is right on this one. These are pirates for Christ's sake. Not the godd*** Locust. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:06, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

Ok, Can I make a suggestion?

Instead of randomly nations who have existed under Ayutthaya PEACEFULLY for 50 years, let's do this.

Each of the four conquered nations- Selebar, Pagaruyung, Tulang Bawang, and Sunda revolt. No one else.

Are there ANY objections to this?

 * Religious forces in historically Muslim lands have never really revolted under Muslim leaders. Often because they would have been crushed by the more fanatical Muslim forces, or because early Islam and the Islam of this period, stipulated the care for non-Islamic peoples. So a revolt against the Muslim population wouldn't happen. Flag of the Hurian Federation.png Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 01:07, May 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ayutthaya is weirdly designed, sort of like the American states only a little more autonomous (that's OTL, too). Muslim areas would have Muslim leaders, who in turn would be loyal to the Kingdoms as a whole, and the same for Buddhist and Hindu areas. Religious tolerance is pretty high- I dealt with that several decades ago.  13:27, May 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * Is a coordinated rebellion plausible? Generally when a bunch of disparate nations revolt, they end up fighting among themselves - especially if, in this case, they're culturally and religiously different and historical enemies. Krasnoyarsk (talk) 18:43, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

I used the collective +20 for all categories instead of multiplying it by 7 which would yield 140. I also refreined from editing the population and troops section, though I would assume that the revolters would have more, as they are a majority of the territory. Saamwiil, the Humble 16:35, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

I believe Aceh was removed from this due to its closeness to Guns nation or something. I Believe that the Rebels still maintain the upper hand though Guns would lose these nations

Can Guns claim some things?

Kedah, Padang, and Srivijaya are literally part of AYutthaya. They're not in Sumatra. They should be removed too.

Aceh, as Feud said.

Neither defending homeland nor religious would apply for motive.

Number of troops, dealing with these guys, Ayutthaya is pulling out all stops. 90,000 troops, at least. And assuming we still have control over my nation (if Kedah and Padang are revolting, I imagine basically the rest of Ayutthaya should be too, just for plausibility), I outnumber the other guys.

Also, NONE of those nations were among the four conquered nations the revolt is about. Those should be added, and many of the current ones- specifically the four which are actually part of AY\yutthaya- taken off.

Tactical advantage doesn't get subtracted, IIRC. But IDK.

Ayutthaya's population (assuming we retain control over Kedah, Padang, SV, and Aceh) should be 16 million.

The combined population of Aru, Siak, The Majapahit, Selebar, Tulang Bawang, Sunda, and Pagaruyung would be on the order of 10 million.

They, as the mod event specified, get TEN each, undoubled. Not twenty.

Asumming control of Kedah, Padang, SV, and Aceh, I still control the Straits of Malacca.

Just as a note, if you take away those four, you should (just plausibly speaking) collapse my whole nation. In such a case I will be glad to move to another nation. I would, however, prefer that not to occur. See, in Ayutthaya, basically, the central King had power over the lesser Kingdoms and principalities- hence the name the "Kingdoms of Ayutthaya" rather than the "Kingdom of Ayutthaya". In fact, at many points in Ayutthayan history, lesser Kings performed coup de etats and took over. All of those four have been part of Ayutthaya for many generations, so if they revolt, then they're doing it not because they don't want Ayutthayan oppression but because they see an opportunity for self-rule. In such a case, practically every lesser Kingdom would be doing the same thing. Hell, in this state of general uproar, that might be the most likely thing. If you do rule it so, don't bother with the algo, just collapse Ayutthaya into it's individual states, and I'll take something else. I hear tiny little German states are nice this time of year. :D

Sincerely, and appreciatively, 23:07, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

Any way, if a mod could inform whether my nation is being collapsed for doing something done hundreds of times OTL without consequnces (:D), I'll get to either crushing this revolt or looking for a new nation.

Anyone? Feud? Punkin? Andy?

23:34, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

As a fanatic of the Ottoman Empire, I can tell you that the last thing you'd want to do, in the long run, is give large amounts of local autonomy to people of different cultures within an Empire. Even the Arabs, of the same Sunni Islamic religion as the Ottoman bureacratic elite, eventually had the urge to revolt. This would apply here, coupled with the fact they ARE of a different religion. Drawing from the United States, it's not necessarily the amount of time a country is apart of a nation, but rather the feel that makes it a core. The South way apart of the United States for about 100 years, but even after that time, many did not feel they were apart of the Union. India had been apart of the British Empire for a long time, they definately didn't want to stay with them. And finally people like power. They will revolt.

So, its that time of the Game again, and I believe it is time to name the new world. Since Amerigo vespuci probably will not be an exploerer this timeline, I suggest we all propose names for the Continents, and Vote on them. So, let's begin.-Lx (leave me a message) 21:11, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

Wasn't the term "Hesperia" thrown around somewhere? Cookiedamage (talk) 23:09, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

Hesperia was my recommendation for the collective term for both coninents, like "The Americas" otl. According to the event (which interestingly, I didn't make), a German mapmaker began using the name on his maps. This doesn't necessarily make it the universally accepted name, but it goes some way to making it official-ish. The two individual continents have not been given names in mod events (but I think we came to the conclusion that Borealia was a good name for NA). Callumthered (talk) 23:30, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the names were already decided upon on the moderator page many days ago. Mscoree (talk) 23:11, May 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, shoot I am that guy (talk) 23:16, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

The agreement was that Hesperia would be a general term for both and then primarily a term for South America, while Borealia would be used for North America. The moderator event established the first into use, and over time the two would develop as the official names. Mscoree (talk) 23:33, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

The Names were in fact already agreed upon and when it was presented to the Chat they seemed okay with Borealia and Hesperia. those are the Official/Unofficial names

Why do these things always happen behind closed doors away from the general population, and nobody EVER notifies the general public, EVER. Please try to make a habbit of doing these arrangements in PUBLIC where EVERYONE can be made aware. I have had the...mispleasure...of being affected by these secret arrangelements more than once, and trust me, it is not very pleasant. Please try to notify EVERYONE of any rule changes, agreements, and not just say things like "We agreed" and "consensus" that drastically change half of what is going on because nobody is aware of these agreements. Thank you for your time everyone, and please refrain from this in the future. Also, please dont forget about/ignore agreements made on the TALK PAGE, FOR ALL TO SEE, while following ones made in SECRET on "CHAT" or the MOD PAGE. Thank you for your time everyone, it seems that the topic of this page was already decided, away from the majority and behind closed doors unlike in PMII where everyone had a chance to openly propose names, this was decided on a mod page. Such is life.-Lx (leave me a message) 13:32, May 20, 2014 (UTC)

We should name it either 'Murica or Bob. <font color="#00AAE4">Sky Green 24 14:47, May 20, 2014 (UTC)

Lx you didn't know about it because you seemingly don't read the moderator events (we already said that Hesperia comes into common use), and because the people don't know it in-game yet. Those names come into use because the people doing the discovering named it, and that hasn't really taken off yet. Mscoree (talk) 14:56, May 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * I do read mod events, mostly so that I can see if my nation has been affected to ajust my post accordingly. This, however, was posted while I was...let's just say up north at my friend's cottage and only got to internet at around 20:00. THis technicality still does not adress the wider point I am trying to make: i.e. decisions being made without popular knowledge of their occurence.-Lx (leave me a message)Azarath Flag.png 21:22, May 21, 2014 (UTC)

While it will only take one year to overthrow the government, for the sake of plausibilty (it'll take my troops over 1 year to march through the Zimbabwean contryside) I will take three years, after which time Great Zimbabwe will be split according to my liking and all states will become my tributaries.

Discussion
Here are a few notes as to why Zimbabwe's scores are so low... they were in disarray for most of the past 20 years, and since then they have been expanding militarily (recent wars), which has led to no development scores.

For military size, I took 3% of my estimated population (2 million) and I took 5% of the Zimbabwean population (500,000). 21:47, May 21, 2014 (UTC)

1% is more accurate, at this time period.

22:41, May 21, 2014 (UTC)

Actually, a much higher number is accurate, since only Europe was plagued with the inability to raise large armies. Nations in Africa, the Middle East, India, and the Far East were able to raise tens of thousands of soldiers for a single battle alone since they didn't rely on the feudalistic systems of Europe. This is why the relatively small vassals states in Japan were able to raise as many as many as 25-50,000 men each, while massive nations such as Franch and Poland could push about 15-20,000 men each without destroying their economies. This is also the reason why the almost all of the Sultans of the Middle East could field armies as large as 250,000 men for a single campaign, while the Holy Roman Empire at its height and under the strong rulership of Barbarossa was able to raise 100,000 once time in its history during the Crusades, and later only never raised more than 35-50,000 man afterward. The tiny army syndrome is only relative to Europe, not the rest of the world. Fun fact. Even though the Zulu Kingdom had no more than 500,000 people, it routinuely fielded armies of 10-25,000, about the same as medieval France, which possessed a population of some 15 million people. That's sad. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:05, May 21, 2014 (UTC)

Wait, seriously? Then why was I limited to 1% of my population? I wasn't even remotely European... And I had sources showing my nation raised armies of about 300,000 routinely...

23:37, May 21, 2014 (UTC)

That is actually cool.

I have refrained from putting Zimbabwe as tribal. Is it a tribal nation, I know the technology for both sides should have a large gap between them. Saamwiil, the Humble 02:07, May 22, 2014 (UTC)

Please do not change the algo. All of the points have legitimate reasons. Firstly, the Zimbabweans have been around for only 3 years, all 3 of which they have been in a war and therefore they have not been developing infrastructure, economy, or military. They do not get a 1.5 multiplier because they did not have a popular revolt. Our men are convinced that it is a crusade, as our rhetoric has intensified in recent years and the priests have urged King Esteban to declare the war. The vassals penalty was already levied in the nations age section, as it should be according to precedent. 02:39, May 22, 2014 (UTC)

They have not been in a war. They've been expanding, declaring "war" on smaller kingdoms, none of which are on the map. They do, in fact, get the 1.5* multiplier, as they had a significant change of government. And it does not matter what the clergy feels, the war is for purely economic reasons. There is no way to convince a populace that in three years, a nation centralised only three years ago has found a way to seriously oppress its negligible Christian minority, and out enough propoganda out there to support such a claim as "defending oppressed Christians." Sorry, I do not stand for biased algorithms. Algorithms are algorithms for a reason, if you truly want to implausibly conquer a nation, ask for mod permission, and you can disreard the algoritm, or make it however biased you wish.

Tibet
I've been wondering for the last couple weeks if Tibet is open. As if you look http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_(Principia_Moderni_III_Map_Game)#Types_of_Countries It states that "Countries are disconnected after an extended period of unplanned inactivity (over a week), and only when it is nearly certain that a player will not return.". JB hasn't posted in over a MONTH. I was wondering about this if I could open up Tibet for me and so I could play PM3 finally on a consistent basis. <span style="color:Blue; font: 1.2em Palatino, serif; text-align: center; font-variant: small-caps;">❂ FOR THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA ❂ 19:59, May 22, 2014 (UTC)
