I Thank you for trying to expand my colonies, but you still have them too small. You ignored any expansion I made them do before I started any big thing. I asked you politely to stop mapping russia. Is that too much to ask? You ignore the fact that I own those three states(even 25% would be more than what you put witch is nothing). I own "Samara", "Komi" and "Syktyvar"(and yes, I use quotations to denote their "existance"). Syktyvar the city does not exist and is the capital of the Komi Republic OTL...where Von copypasted all his names...and Samara was founded OTL in 1585, a decade after the great superimplausiblevendettabalkanization of russia, therefore should not have existed ''in the first place. ''And honestly, who heard of a city being founded as a military outpost, that city was a mere military outpost...an outpost!!! who hears of an outpost being a capital!(unless of course the population is so small that I can easily goombastomp it just by sending 50 000 army to its capital with little to no resistance and say bow or die) Also, my small expansion east was completely and utterly ignored. Also, what justification do you have of making the Island of Novaya zemlya its own nation. really? how could you plausibly do that? NOBODY LIVES THERE(except a phew small naval outposts) !!!

 * you still did russia's novorossiya wrong...but I am inclined to like what you did with kanada, but its still too small. my Kanada is less St Lawrencey and more clumsy and diagonal.

i know that with this i can take between 25 and 30 % but not sure how much would war last, and by the way i want the war to last enough to take the 33%, so could some mod  (AP - COLLIE OR SCAN) to please finish this algorythm for me, For the Record ap THIS IS NOT A RECONQUEST ATTEMPT, all i want is some more land and my colonies back

That's exactly what a reconquest war is.AP (talk) 02:17, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

i mean not a reconquest of the netherlands just of the colonies who are a mix of burgundian dutch and some italians i don't really care that much for the netherlands Sine dei gloriem (talk) 02:22, February 3, 2013 (UTC) could you fix the algorythm please

The Netherlands were formed in 1593 after they defeated you in a popular revolt so they get a multiplier. I counted 10 turns of military development but one of them was during the war so it didnt count.AP (talk) 02:33, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Also, the Netherlands has two autonomous regions since two countries formed a federation-like country: Flanders and Holland.AP (talk) 02:36, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Yank chill, its my own civil war and i very recently controlled the Ottomans and Crimeans, the Ottomans/Romans as main nation and Crimea as a vassal, I can therfor control both the Ottomans and Romans. And why do you constantly keep calling just me out? (DeanSims: Talk) 20:27, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

As long as you do something to stop the Muslim rebels then you get it back. But Crimea has rebelled away, it is no longer your vassal. When your nation changes religion so suddenly, the other religions are going to rebel away because they want to be in charge.

Thanks Von. Now to harrass people to update the territories page... Scandinator (talk) 00:16, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

I can name a series of problems with that map's names. fist off, let me thank you for trying. Second, I killed kazan in a war, third, none of my wars make sense if this is true(aka, all algorithms are wrong, and I should have one more easily), fourth, odonsk was founded in 1595, almost 20 years after the supposed balkanization of russia, fifth, syktyvar was founded in 1723 by Peter the Great, and there were settlements in that region near 1680, sixth, the modern capital of nenetisia was founded around 1930. in that region, the only people that would realy live in the 16th century, except perhaps 5000-6000 Novgorodian soldiers around a military outpost, would be the nomadic samoyeds, who would likely have the same relative independance as the first nations did in the americas at this time and around the mid-1600s despite foreign claim on the territory. The Nenets only number in the 40 000 today, after acute population booms, so I woyld place tehm at 5000 people. I do, however, doubt that there would be cossacks with permanant settlemetn around kuban prior to 1696(modern kuban cossacks founded). seventh, Samara was a military outpost built in 1586 by russia for the sole purpose of protecting against nomads, eighth, I doubt that the tatars would be seperate from Kazan, since it was the last true tatar city to exist, and the largest tatar city to exist today, and would have likely been the center of tatar culture if this were to happen, ninth, I believe that the city of kazan would be cituated in the confines of state "syktyvar" or "samara", and the "kazan khanate" would not even have kazan. tenth, the city of syktyvar is the capital of the komi republic, and would be in its confines, according to the map, the problems with that are already stated...sould I continue-Lx (leave me a message) 03:15, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

idustry? If you mean economic development & military development, remember that you player nations get 2 points for each year of development and NPCs only get 1 point for development each year. Hence 1 is half of 2. The NPC built up its development for 5 years for each development type, meaning it got 10 points for military, economic & infrastructure development each. This 10 is then halved to give you 5. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 14:35, February 6, 2013 (UTC)

I wouldn't say it has become a backwater, no mod events have established it as one. But seeing how it used to have a large empire then it lost it all, it still has that capacity for empire so is still strong. Besides those are the rules and we can't just change them and only follow them where it does us a favour.

I'll allow you to compromise and the war can be a draw and things remain the same. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 12:40, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, but if you go into something that it's ten miles normal and then from then on desert you're not going to colonise it. Fed (talk) 17:09, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

Honestly colonizing Australia at the time now is not worth it for any European or Asian country. One, it is too far away at maintainance costs to protect and expand the colony would be a lot higher than in the Americas and Africa. Two, there are very few resources and growing areas. Colonies will need to import food if they start on the West, North or South Coast. Only the South East can host a self sustaining colony and that is after it expands inland far enough. In the meantime they would still need food imports. Scandinator (talk) 10:49, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Scan put it very neatly. Australian colonies can not become self-sustaining until after decades of life support from the mother country. Australian colonisation does not work the same way as American colonisation. In America, you just drop off the colonists and they can build a self-sustaining colony in minutes. And if they do need assistance, it takes like a month max to send a ship from Europe to America. It took a year to go from Europe to Australia in 1788. It would have taken a ridiculous amount of time to get there in 1610. And again, I reiterate the main point, Why Bother when there are sooo many more profitable and closer places to colonise? I am Saxony, so I don't have vested interests in colonies, I merely put this out there because it is completely implausible. The Dutch didn't colonise otl, and they were the colonial masters of the time. Why would anyone else do it TTL? Callumthered (talk) 11:03, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for putting my points more clearly. As an extra example. The Dutch were VERY active in our area but they decided to colonize Indonesia instead as the Indonesian archipelago is so much more profitable and much easier to control trade with than Australia. Also Australia's most valuable commodities have no uses in the 17th century expect for coal and iron. But why bother with a year long journey to transport it back when there are sources in Cornwall, Alsace-Lorraine, the Ruhr and Northern Italy.Scandinator (talk) 12:54, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Austrailia has a lot of desert, yes. But the regions to the southeast are green and fertile, and that's where my colonies are location (around Adeilade and Melbourne). There they were be able to remain self-suffient given the large area of pasture, farmland, and mineral resources, with the addition of fishing waters not far from the sites of the colonies. And generally speaking, whether or not the land is worth colonizing is up to the players and nations. Norway didn't need  a reason to colonize barren Iceland and Greenland, but it did anyway. The same can be said of Russia taking over Siberia, which was barren and had no resources that could be accessed for quiet some time. The purpose of colonization isn't about what land is better or even if its worth colonizing. Its about prestige, who has more of what, and bragging rights. The British colonized Austrailia not for the resource they didn't know about until later, but simply to get rid of the "undesirables" of the home islands. In the end, a nation can make up a reason to do anything, or in most cases, doesn't need a reason at all. If they want it, they can take it regardless of whether it makes sense or not. That's just human nature. We're selfish. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:21, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

You can edit your own algorithms, not anybody else's. You're not a mod, so quit acting like one. And yes, they can since they are a legitimate nation that is under protectorate status. Besides, you used Vinland on several algorithms.108.214.113.122 03:49, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Depending if the war lasts 4 or 5 years, Portugal can get 14,52 or 14,94% of Gujarat.Since Gujarat has 3756 pixels, Portugal thus can get either 545 or 561 pixels.

So, since it would be near impossible to find population statistics for Gujarat on the 17th century, i started to research Indian historical demographics, and comparing Gujarat with the whole of India, i came to the conclusion that Gujarat's population in 1610 would be roughly 4 million people.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 09:56, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

A religious movement
Could I have a new religious movement begin in Orissa? It will be basically based around a simplified version of hinduism. So out of so many gods, we will only have the main three and the god of luck (the elephant god), along with the god of money and good fortune (Laxmi, the elephant god's wife and the reason for Diwali). Would that be fine as we already have a Kreppanlits (or however you say it) movement in Europe? :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:42, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Resignation
While I really hate to do this, but this semester's already too hectic for me to handle, and I doubt I'll be able to play a lot for the next few months. As such, I think it's time for me to retire from the game.

I assume that decades (or centuries if they're lucky) from now, the Papal States are likely to be taken over or reformed in some aspect. All I ask for the sake of the citizens is that they get to retain some of their rights and land (i.e. not being totally assimilated), and that the Papacy continues in some form, LOL.

It's been fun, and I'll pop in from time to time to see how the game's going. I hope to be able to play PMIII, whenever that starts :D. Regards, ChrisL123 (talk) 23:06, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

@Andrew Bavaria is on the list now. General Education is teaching everyone to read and write (including the peasants). Also its only stable constitutional monarchies that can make 10 and I'm not sure if you are a constitutional monarchy...

Yes Bavaria has a constitutional monarchy, the queen heads up the reichstag which is the Bavarian parliament.

@Scraw The Indian nations have fulfilled those requirements that they have been listed under. Brandenburg is up there for colonial empire (dunno how I missed it). The "middle class" in the 17th to late 19th century refered to the class of urban-dwellers between the nobility and the peasants. Venice has thousands of traders and merchants in their cities with over 30% of the population in towns and cities compared to ~20% in the German States and less than that everywhere else. The last time Brandenburg's heartlands were attacked and damaged was by the Madhi 50 years ago. Scandinator (talk) 09:17, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

Russia and Scandinavian merchants have formed NETA, the North European Trade Alliance, succesor to RETA(Russo-European Trade Alliance), witch is succesor to the Hanza. NETA maintains strong control over the baltic and black sea markets. Russia has had many scientific advances(although most of them were military and naval in nature to ensure novgorodian market can reach further)...ex. the flintlock, the icebreaker, the rifle, soon the submarine, and universities(the Academy of sciences included) have autonomy from the state or the church if that counts for anything, Russia also pioneered medicine developing a crude smallpox immunization process for the mayans and pioneering human anatomical study..-Lx (leave me a message) 16:47, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

There are several nations that don't have points where they deserve them. Scandinavia and Germany have very large navies and do in fact have the ability to transport the resource, i'm actually not sure about Venice since their navy was annihilated by the Caliphate according to Von. Scandinavia has several scientific universities in the colonies as well as back home. Scandinavia is a constitutional monarchy under the Riksdag and the Queen, Burgundy is one as well. Scandinavia owns the richest farmland in the Eastern seaboard, the Chesapeake and therefore we would be able to mass-produce cotton. Also, the Rajputs and Cyprus were invaded by the Caliphate and Manchuria recently had to deal with a Korean war for independence.''' I would like to further reiterate that any "coincidental changes" in your nation will be ignored as an excuse to get points on this chart. Also to prevent confusion and other crap, only mods may modify this chart'''. AP (talk) 18:38, February 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * The part about the navy does not realy give you a market, however, your participation as one of the elite members of NETA does...you have a market and he hability to market a resource because of the near control of the Baltic sea market and beond with NETA(witch is one of the things i wanted to say).-Lx (leave me a message) 19:35, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

In agreement to everything you said, I must point out one minor error. Sine has some sort of notion that he can always post to the turn four hours after the new turn starts. In the days of Lurk, this would not have gone unnoticed and would have resulted in a ban ages ago. This also means that the conversion to constitutional monarchy does not count.

@Europe: Venice will break the Pope's control over science in a few decades with the heir who is a lot less devout that his father. However it will result in internal chaos and the establishment of the Church of Italy and the Pope fleeing to Venaissin or Trier.

@Lx: Outline how you can mass produce rifles without the production line in factories. Rifles are too complex to make the list for any nation bar venice which has the arsenals with their primitive production lines. But this is also a closely guarded secret so you cant just get an arsenal...

@ Everyone: Points 6-9 are linked. To qualify for 8 you need both 6 and 7 and to get 9 you need 8. Britain also had very basic general education for the peasants to allow them to read and write during the early 18th century and the Turks had general education in a few cities in the 12th century.

Also a pro-business legal system is a set of laws that promote cottage businesses and/or merchantilism. If you are a merchant nation or one with scattered outposts for trade you can obtain that point. Scandinator (talk) 00:36, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

That was part of my question, does the no wars in 50 years thing count as wars being faught in your homeland(i.e. you being invaded and loosing), or does it count for wars you were fighting and you invade another nation. Either way makes sense, because if there was a war within your borders, the land would be ravaged and rebuilding etc... and i can see the other side too, you used resources for war instead of developing and/or lost lived therefore manpower, although, I would think beign invadede would leave a worse impact. So, to simplify, What counts as Wars in your homeland? All wars you participated in, or all wars where you were leader?-Lx (leave me a message) 21:49, February 25, 2013 (UTC)

When did Scandinavia get a pro-business legal system and the division between higher and middle classes? Scandinavia is practically flowing with nobility at this point in time. Also, does coal count as a resource you can use? Because it really will be crucial to the industrial revolution.

Ethiopia has been incrediably supportive of scientific research and progress. Just look at our work with Orissa in the field of science in recent years. After the fall of the  CALIPHATE , Ethiopia's emperor was pushing for scientific reform and progression of Ethopia's technological base (as we were trying to compete with the rest of the globe). Also, Ethiopia has the potential to become a large cloth producer thanks to the grazing lands below the Ethiopian Highlands and expanses of the Ogaden.

And I agree. Seriously, what was the rationale behind providing bonuses to NPCs? Historically, most of the NPC nations were stagnent in all three areas, and Adal was a weak kingdom that had been destroyed by the Portuguese-backed Ethiopians. I mean seriously, when 400 Europeans help wipe out a force of 14,000 warriors, you've got a problem. By the way, Adal collapsed as a nation 1577.

 * In order to not make them too easy to defeat.

Burgundy Gains
So, there seem to be to sides as to what was won in the war. One side says that only several pixels can be taken as gain, because that's how much was won in the algorithm. The other side says that the algorithm was enough to strip Burgundy of it's colonies entirely. Which one is correct? We need to get this settled. CourageousLife (talk) 05:12, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

Ethiopia and You
Now I have to address this matter once and for all, its gonna be long, so Scraw shut up and listen, I'll write for as long as needed. Considering this is the Alternate History wiki, there appears to be little tolerance for alternate decisions in actions made. To put in the words of one user: "Many people claim that if it didn’t happen, it couldn’t happen, or that if it had certain pros and cons they would always stay that way for a person, peoples, or nations entire history, even if certain developments change the entire time frame forever, that no matter what, they are stuck with those problems for eternity, and I personally think that’s a load of, well I wont say that yet, maybe later." And considering that history is ignored for the simplier "Europe is just better" excuse is mind-numbing.

What is the point of doing anything if the mods state that you can't do anything to chance the course of a nation's history. I played Ethiopia with the hope of capitalizing on its many many chances. For one, Ethiopia had early contact with the Europan empires such as Portugal, and was aided in developing its technological base. Unlike many other African kingdoms, Ethiopia was for its time, a modern and well-organized nation, and had actual soldiers instead of poorly armed and motivated warriors. Its had cannon, guns, heavy cavalry, and European recognition of its rule in East Africa (evidenced by Portuguese letters between the King of Portugal and Emperor of Ethiopia). Its religious belief in Christ did much too gain European favor which aided it in surviving many invasions.

Japan and Cyprus don't have to do anything special to expand overseas when in actual historical accounts the Japanese hated outside interaction, and Cyprus was the rump-state of the Turks and Byzantines. The last bit of glory Cyprus had was when it sack Cairo during the Crusades, by it was immediately steam-rolled in prompt retailation that destroyed much of everything it had. The Japanese were good sailors, but never had the European-style ships that allowed for long-range travel. So what's my point? Like Cyprus, Ethiopia's navy was obliterated. But like Cyprus, Ethiopia rebuilt it. And like Japan, Ethiopia never had long-range vessels, but like Japan aquired them through hard-work and research. Just because Japan and Cyprus are better documented than Ethiopia doesn't mean that they were any better.

Now this statement goes for all nations like Ethiopia. They don't have the starting techs or experience to expand overseas, but like any human civilization anywhere on the globe in recorded history, they can develop this information themselves. It's almost ignorant and insulting for the kind of statements made by people on a history wiki, especially an alternate history one, to say that a certain nation can't do something simply because they never did it in real life. That's why we have alternate history. To do what real life nations refused to do or just couldn't do because of problems they suffered. Could Hitler have taken over the world? Yes. Many governments and veterans admit to that fact. Did he? No. Too many nations fought against him and he lost too many crucial battles. But what "if" he won Stalingrad? El Alimen? The Battle of the Bulge?

Now what "if" Ethiopia pursued a naval course instead of a land one? It had colonies before. It was right across the Red Sea like Korea was right across the Yellow Sea for Japan. heck, quoting Wikipedia, "Axum was a naval and trading power that ruled the region from about 400 BC into the 10th century." Even Mani, a Sassanid prophet, he stated that Ethiopia (not Japan), was one of the four world powers during the 3rd century along with Rome, Persia, and China (once again not Japan). Also, Ethiopia was a major trading power. Thus, saying Ethiopia "never" was a naval nation is an ignorant statement to make without having proof to back that up. I don't like having to type this even time someone smudges history. Just do the research (I did), and understand that since this is alternate history, that some things can be allowed. I mean for Christ's sake, we've got a whole gain of nations that never had navies going around building empires.

So you understand my point, I'll compare Ethiopia to a better known empire - France. France was just like Ethiopia. Sucked at seafaring, and rocked on land. Unlike Ethiopia, it was never the major naval trading power during the time of Rome, nor the famed superpower stated by ancient historians. However, it developed its navy many times, and saw its destroyed countless times. However, did that mean that since its ships were destroyed that it technology disappeared? Nope. When it was freed of English rule, France built an even better navy, and expanded overseas. Does this mean they were pushing it simply because they never had a long history of seamanship? No. It simply means that they saw an opprotunity overseas, and worked to get it, just like Ethiopia. I spent a century and a half working on naval technology, but to say that I'm "pushing it" because I'm using said technology is erking.

Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:15, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

I'll have to agree with Viva. Playing as the Mayan Empire is challenging because I'm not allowed to do anything because I'm a native nation. I have had European-level tech for some time now, and have the capacity to handle European ideas on infastructure and education. Recently, I wasn't allowed to enact an education system because 'No one in Europe or Asia had one'. This is rediculous. If I can't have my own ideas and actions not limited by my native heritage, then why play? To let the European players have more fun when they subjugate my nation? I am advanced enough to do certain things that keep getting shot down. I see opportunities, and I go for them, but I have to wait in line because I'm not from the Old World. CourageousLife (talk) 21:35, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

This is to do with plausibility. Why would anybody from your nation want to be educatued? You will first need to change your countries attitides. The mods say there is nothing wrong with schools, but first they need to be implemented in the higher classes and then the general masses.

Viva, let me tell you something. When I started as Bharat in 1830 something in PM, I was a rump state - had no power, no alliances and looked like no future. Yet I changed that. In 150, I took my country to becoming a world superpower. Do not worry, take your time. There is no need to rush into things. Get your alliances straight and keep expanding (you still haven't accepted my alliance).

So folks. Play well, and reap the rewards. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:31, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

Imp, I must agree with you. But I fear this is a recurring theme across all of the wiki. Even in plausible situtations, the mods still shoot down ideas they themselves use them in ways that make no sense or couldn't happen, such as Scraw having Sweden force the USSR to become a puppet state, and becoming a superpower when many larger nations had the same tech but no potential. This isn't limited to just a few games, and I feel that this has to be resolved on the wiki on general. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:58, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

I guess that I'll explicitly state that it's for upper level children in the future, though I thought it was implied. Would you mind unstriking my 1624 post? CourageousLife (talk) 00:05, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

For starters, your argument is built on a logical fallacy. To avoid fallacious thinking i'm going to explain. You cannot possibly use OTL history to justify what you are doing in this timeline. If all your posts say "Ethiopia does X,Y, and Z" then all you've done that year is X,Y, and Z. You have to write things in, give your history flavor and a realistic feel to it. It's not a matter of what could have happened it's "what circumstances led to this." Ethiopia was a land-based empire not because it wanted to, but because it had no other choice than to be one. The point is to plausibly expand to create an interesting alternate history, not a radical step in the other direction. Therefore Australian colonization is a stretch. Even worse is attempting to colonize a crowded south America, which by the way was retconned because you established two colonies within a 50 year period already. I'm tired of repeating the same thing, so i'm going to go because i have real issues to attend to.AP (talk) 03:26, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

AP has made a point. Have you seen my posts? They have an almost in-depth analysis of what is going on. You will need to write more about what is happening in your country. However, that does mean that you will be able to plausibly do thing you want to, becuase you have explained why through your post. So my Raja wants to invade Bijapur again, I stated "the raja was dissapointed and plans another invasion of the country".

And Viva, just trade with me tons. I'll help to bring scientists and ideas to your country in return for coffee and stuff and we ca make like an alliance and stuff :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 07:54, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

I was sure I did that. I explained the Ethiopians felt they had a better future oveseas than in Africa (pre-Caliphate), and that the Emperor declare many things related to such developments in the nation such as modernization. I'd also be happy to trade with you for technology Imp. At least that be the most historically correct action (since Ethiopia and India traded in real life :P). Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 18:44, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure if I took control of your country for 10-15 days, things might get a lot different :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 11:11, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

Church of the Epic People of Wayupthereland
@Everyone: So, this is for me and AP only.

@AP: I was thinking we could have three patriarchs, one German, one Scandinavian, and one other. And each resides in their respective territory. Or in Pomerania, which is ethnically German but otherwise Scandinavian.

Also, I think we should keep the Germanic Church but the call each of the Patriarchs something different.

Thoughts?

I think 3 patriarchs would be confusing and would lead to problems in interpreting doctrine later on. We should have one Patriarch of the Germanic Church, my suggestion on his residence would be in Lubeck or somewhere like that.AP (talk) 05:06, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. What about the name?

05:16, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

Patriarch of Lübeck or Patriarch of the Goths would be good.AP (talk) 06:22, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

OK then, we have the Germanic Church and the Patriarch of the Goths who lives in Lubeck. Sound good?

Btw, when do you plan on joining?

Result
Orissan victory. Orissa can claim 19.5% of Bijapur. The war will last 2 years, and Orissa will be able to take 14.7% of Bijapur.

Combining this with the previous war, 20.7 + 14.7 = 35.4% enabling for the Orissan to topple the Bijapuri government.

You see where I'm getting at with the nonsense NPC bonuses? I'm bringing one of the most powerful nations in the world against a small feudal kingdom and can only take less than 7% of its land.

Isn't the NPC bonus 3 in each category? Why is it 5? Vassals can't lead wars btw, so you have to be the leader with Mysore being an MV.AP (talk) 03:44, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

Gulf Of Mexico Division Proposition
Hi! Because we had a stuff up before, I'm going to do what Lx suggested and I am going to open a proposition thread. I think this will be made up of me, Lx, Corageous and Scan dividing the Gulf, because we are the only ones that have territory there, I think. Anyway, let the discussion begin!

I'll start: Lx, I'm willing to trade you coastline for the ability to continue expanding. Airlinesguy (talk) 11:04, February 28, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, thats prefectly fine, we just need to make a map tha the mapmakers will abide to when they are making the colonial expansions...aswell as actualy expanding colonies in the first place(what actually got us into this mess).

That leaves me with next to no land, however. I'm willing to sell you land to move my colony up next to Venice's or down next to the Mayan Empire so we can partition the land equally, but that gives you a lot more land than I get. Airlinesguy (talk) 22:26, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

The main point of that map was to establish natural borders(i.e. missisipi and the rio grande). everything ele is still in flux..but the best course of action I think is to move cyprus to the rio...save New Minsk cause that russian big city...-Lx (leave me a message) 23:55, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

OK, well I'm not that good at mapmaking, so do you want me to move my colony next to Scan's colony gradually? I can hopefully do that. Then we can partition the land I get right now between you and me. Airlinesguy (talk) 09:03, March 3, 2013 (UTC)

Chinese Dynastic Change
Well, boys and girls, it's almost 1630 and you know what that means... probably. The Ming Dynasty only has a decade and a half left in OTL. The Quing Dynasty takes over and life in China goes on. However, the Quing Dynasty was born of Manchuria, which is not part of China in this game. I've been thinking of how to handle this for some time and I came up with a relatively good idea.

As you probably know, China is in the middle of a golden age. Quite literally in many cases. New methods of spice production, silk production, and shipbuilding, coupled with a very strong and wise emperor has made China a very rich nation. However, all rulers, good or bad, will stop ruling a nation at some point. My plan is that China will be spoiled rotten from this guy. The emperors that come after him will be idiots. People will get fed up and miss the 'good old days' and start an uprising called the 'Guìzú Conspiracy'. After that, China will be ruled by the powerful families that gained their wealth during the Eastern Renaissance. For a little while, China will be an aristocracy. The lower class is going to grow while the upper class gets more and more money (seem familiar?) Well, the lower class is eventually going to say, "what the hell, guys?" and grow more and more discontent before throwing a revolt that will put another dynasty in charge and a stronger emperor on the throne.

The reason I say this is because I saw a mod event detailing a revolt in China and I assumed they were trying to start the end of the Ming dynasty. Decided to announce that I've got it covered and don't worry about it. CrimsonAssassin (talk) 23:18, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

Did nobody notice that somebody taking the whole North island in 3 years, and plus, in the 1600's is highly implausible?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 21:15, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Hahahaa. I know, but I won fairly. I have an idea. Would it be fine for me just to get the coastal area along with the area of my former colony? Now having coastal areas in your control in the 1600s was plausible, cause the Dutch did it, the Portugese did it and so did the Brits. Imp (Say Hi?!) 21:29, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

This is implausible. The British had a hard time with them and your telling me an Indian nation is gonna just walk all over them? Please. And several things were wrong on the algorithm.AP (talk) 00:13, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

The British were outnumbered and didn't know much about the fighting styles of the Maori for quiet a while (5,000 Europeans verus 58,000 rifle-armed Maori is a one-sided fight). By the 1880s, the British could walk over the Maori at their leisure (700,000 Europeans verus 20,000 starving Maori is a one-sided fight). Plus, the British didn't have the political will to wipe out the Maori, given that the British were trying to champion themselves as the "Bringer of Civilization", not the "Destroyer of Worlds". Finally, the rules say he can take over the island, so that's what Imp did. I mean, your to busy trying to copy history rather than like it take its own path. The British didn't defeat the Maori, but that happened in real life. This is alternate history. Orissa managed to bet the Maori because this isn't real life. Just because it didn't happen in real life doesn't mean it can't happen here. You have to stop trying to drag OTL into everything, and trying to force ATL to abide by it. Besides, the British had a lower interest in New Zealand compared to the much larger and wealthy colonies of India, Canada, and Africa. Orissa is closer to New Zealand and can thus devote more resources toward its conquest. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 02:32, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Your statements are invalid, considering the fact that you are comparing an Indian nation to the British Empire in its hey day.AP (talk) 02:41, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

And this is what I mean. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 05:09, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, its not like he colonized all of France, China, and Brandenburg in one turn. He conquered the Maori of the north island. And unlike the British, as Viva said,  pretty much knew what they were up against, and had the men to do it. He didnt conquer ALL the island, shall you remember. Gee Lord! ஆஸ், I wear your Grandads clothes (lk) 11:11, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

The Brits were overstretched. Hell, I have trained armies, and a few thousand cannot hold off the Orissans, who can match their whole population with our army! Plus the Maori are not a nation, they will not get industrialisation and military points. Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:50, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. This is what I was talking about. The British had to pick and chose which colony they wanted to devote more resources too giventhat none of the native populations were all too happy that the Brits were taking over. Thus, colonies such as South Africa and India got more troops to deal with native populations given their relative worth producing diamonds, copper, wool, and gold, while New Zealand got fewer given that it had tiny amounts of nature resources and a tiny European population on the other side of the globe in a relatively isolated position. Only when New Zealand's population and worth increased did the British devote more resources to it. Orissa already has a strong presense in the area, and unlike the British, has the luxury of devoting more resources to one of only four or five colonies in the same area, unlike Britian's twenty or thirty far-flung, over-stretched, and densely-populated dominions across the globe. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 14:49, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

I think that declaring war in tribes is senseless. if you already can expand naturally on them, this is useless, and declaring war will be eventually a implausibilty if you win too much land.but i'm not talking about you personally.what i'm talking about is that all of this could be avoided without that event about the Maoris destroying your colony.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 17:01, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

But I'm not taking the whole island, just the coasts. Could I keep the coasts collie, please? Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:20, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

I was talking that this war and, thus the 1631 event, as the war was caused by it, shouldn't have not even happened in the first place.About the second question, we'll see it later.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:25, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Later as in when, becuase I have not posted in 1632 cause the outcome still remains undecided. Imp (Say Hi?!) 21:26, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

And the war will end in 1633, toppling the Maori... Imp (Say Hi?!) 21:50, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

I see parts of the coast being acquired, but Orissan expansion is going way to fast. Orissan Netherlands and now a Maori that the British coult barely hold in their heyday? In the ''seventeenth century? Without advanced transport? By an Indian nation that does not have enough soldiers?'' 22:15, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Point to be noted - I focus exessively in the region, and I can land more troops than their whole population. I only want the island's coasts, not even the whole thing. And blame the mod event, it forced me to go to war. :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:29, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

I'll say it again. The British in their heyday were overstretched with far more valuable colonies to deal with, and their main area were the soldiers were coming from was all the way in Europe. Orissa is far closer, more populous, and more devoted to the conquest of New Zealand than Britian. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 23:28, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, Britain was distracted with Europe and its more valuable colonies.

But it was the Superpower of the time, and could devote far more troops to a small outcrop than Orissa.

Yes, the main area was Europe.

But they had steam ships instead of wooden boats, so not only would they not be lost in Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean storms but they would be far quicker to arrive in NZ.

Orissa might be closer, more populous and more devoted, but it is weaker and less developed. There's a reason why Patagonia and Oceania remained uncolonised until the 19th Century for the most part. Fed (talk) 23:53, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

^That. And if you make the war last until 1633, you'll only get 13.5%AP (talk) 01:53, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

I hate it, but yeah ships could be a problem. Yet I have already started th war, so I will end it in 1633. And c'mon, +20 for the Maori is just Bull. Imp (Say Hi?!) 07:51, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

War finished, and I would like to say this discussion over please. Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:41, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

I've only just seen this war (I was gone for a week or so) and I'm wondering why we're allowing the colonization of New Zealand when it was discovered in 1642 and only 100 years later did actual trade and ideas of colonizing the islands begin to happen and spread. The Maori are strong, they know their land and Orissa is really overstreached & pushing its look trying to invade New Zealand. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 12:07, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

The rules for the population part of the algorithm actually says nation, not coalition... Also much Venice's work into naval technology and strengthening trade links was ignored. Venice also does not seek to destroy Malacca, merely take the straits. Scandinator (talk) 13:53, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think that you, without your other allies really has a 11 million of population.And, i didn't ignore that work, but you spent 5 years on a war.that takes precedence over the other activites, so they wouldn't be counted.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 19:51, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

Northern Italy (the area which Venice occupies) had a population of around 11 million in OTL 1600s. Italy in total had around 14 million with 2 million in Naples and 1 on the Sicilies. Piedmont became part of France... With a more stable Italy and no continuous Ottoman & French raids and attacks the population would likely be a bit higher in Northern Italy.

Hello...-Lx (leave me a message) 17:15, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Well, i don't know if it was either you or another person that i told about that if you update both military and economy in one turn only one of them will be counted in the algorythm, but now i already said.I don't know what basis did you had on not knowing if you was supposed to give them 0 or 7 in population.not even if you thought that the populations should be divided this would be explained.Anyway, theer population would be 6.7 for that area in this period would be overestimating.but i doubt your population reaches 10 million.given your famine of 1601-1603 didn't happen, i would say you have about 7 million.i don't know where this obdorsk is or if it exists.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 18:01, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Acording to Von, obdorsk does exist, even though it shouldnt(I never bloody founded the city, and even then, it would have just been a small NOVGORODIAN military outpost of no more than 1000 men). But hey, that complaint fell onto deaf ears so i guess it exists since it is all "too long ago" to change anything. Its that small bubble of NPC to the east of Russia in Russian colour. Russia has had 2 population booms in the past 100 years, so yes, I would have, I believe, at least 10 or 11 millions. but enough with that...I have absolutely no idea on how to do NPC bonus...I thought it was 1 point in each category, turns out I'm wrong, so I'll just to 3 points in each category for 15+ year old  NPC from now on and trus the math...I for some reason thought everything was devided, and I wanted to get this thing up as quick as possible(no want any edit conflicts)  and didnt take out any time to think. And I'm not trying to kill sibir completely, I just want to beat them enough to be able to intimidate the tatar state.-Lx (leave me a message) 19:41, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Even with those population booms, 4 million of increase sounds like too much, as you would be almost doubling your possible population.there is still the war agains the Caliphate, which would bring your population down.and there are still doubts if you have arable land enough on your territory to feed all those people. (although this would be actually a good explanation for your expansion, in theory)--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:21, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Most of the Russian land I own is suitable for agriculture. but in the long run, that makes some decent bit of sense...I want more land to grow and whatnot, with the least ammount of war possible. for that I need Ukraine eventually..(.very good exuse for war with the Ukraine actually) or as much arrible land as possible, ukriane has much more population than the east, making them harder to take care of. the tatar state is almost all airable land, but even if I go to war with them, Sibir is still going to be blocking outward expansion. I want the least ammount of wars possible, so whar do I do? delclare war on Sibir, and use military to threaten the tatars into joining my realm as a vassal(and use their land as a result)...and eventualy they get annexed. -Lx (leave me a message) 21:06, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * No you need to conquer the Tatar Kingdom of Kazan, too. This war would intimate them so you could either ally with them (then vassalize them or something similiar after a couple of decades) or invade. Anyway I did the results section in a more easy to follow format. Anyway your best bet is invading Sibir before 1667 as you'd only 5.88% to make the Sibir government collaspe. Then worry about the Tatars in Kazan. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 00:26, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * You almost read my mind. I was planning to take care of Sibir for good in the near future. and I checked pixelcount for sibir with paint.net and they have 19667. I used the magic wand tool and the pixelcount(area) is on the bottom in pixels square. I was thinking more of a 3 year war, so that means approx 26% taken so 7% needed for a hostile takover. I will try and fool tatar state into thinking sibir is completely dead, or mostly dead, because I will take all land on tatar border. Then threatenally w/tribute in grain then vassalize then diploannex them all within the next 30-50 years.-Lx (leave me a message) 18:43, March 8, 2013 (UTC)

Is using the development scores from when he was a NPC is allowed?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:15, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Now that is a good question Collie. There is no real precident on it so it an issue free for debate. But I would say yes. As if he wasn't here then they'd be able to have a bonus but since he is playing now he no longer gains the bonus but his nation used to so he still has it. However it's only like +3 still rather than a player-development score. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 11:56, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

There are some mistakes on that map in terms of territories, e.g. Comchellak is much larger and Arabia own all of the Tanzanian spice islands. But other than that it is good. Also Comchellak is a vassal of the Arabian federation and its full name is the Republic of Comchellak. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 11:46, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Religion Map


Since Callumthered had asked me what was the situation of Catholicism on Europe, i went to do a coloured map of this.it got big, so now this became a incomplete world map.dark blue represents Kappelists, blue represents breakaway churches, light blue represents Catholicism, light green represents Nestorianism, green represents Islam, and yellow-brownish represents orthodoxy.it is still incomplete.Obviously, this is political too, as some nations will have some state religion, but the population will follow other one.Anyway, i don't know the Arabian Federation's state religion, to start with.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:48, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

Russia has an old novgorodian style Elective Monarchy. The Tsar was a firm believer in Russian unification, and once he gianed the title of Tsar of Minsk through marriage, since he wanted at the least unified russian realm under one Ruler, and he did not want his efforts to be in vain when he died in case his son did not become the next Tsar(elective monarchy) so he had the two Crowns linked, although he kept the title of duke of minsk to his own family, the title of Tsar of Minsk and Tsar of Novgorod and Russia were linked. I find it is good logic, but If that's too complicated you can consider it like an act of union/annexatoin and ignore the part about a seperate Duma being built in Minsk.-Lx (leave me a message) 20:32, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

Vassalization Algorithm
Hello, I was wondering if there was a vassalization algorithm. For example, the Somali Sultanate (Cushtic) vassalizing a non-played state such as the Swahili City States. This is UglyTurtle, Signing off. 23:07, March 12, 2013 (UTC) There is no vassaliation algorithm. It's based on power and influence, something the Somali Sultanate unfortunately doesn't have. Instead of immediately vassalizing a nation, help your own nation out and then go and vassalize. Besides, the Swahili have been annihilated.AP (talk) 23:13, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

Map/ Nation Question
Hi guys. I have a question. I just uploaded a map to the main page with my nation Normandy colored in. It was just replaced about 10 mins ago. In the rules it said that anybody could edit the map on behalf of their nation.

I read again somewhere that if I play 5 turns, THEN i'll be on the map. I kinda get why this is. Anyways I just wanted to make sure, but this 'editing on my behalf' thing is only applicable after I get my place on the map, or what?

I have another question, since I'm new, and that is what do I do with dynastic union nations? My nation Normandy is in dynastic union with Brittany, so can I just claim/rule over both nations?

Thanks!

Lx they have capitals, whether you think they exist or not is irrelevent. They exist. Your algorithm is wrong, let me fix it now.... <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 13:59, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

Also mods where do we stand on 3 wars starting at the same time with the same nation fighting, same chance score and what not? <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 14:15, March 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Saying they have capitals doe not grant them capitals. just saying a city existed in the 1600s does not mean it existed. Syktyvar was founded in 1725 or 1723. Period. saying it exists will not change the fact at all that it does not. I care not anyway. I only need about 8% to kill them.-Lx (leave me a message) 22:11, March 16, 2013 (UTC)

And plus, even if their capitals don't exist, they still are fighting on their own territory, and the territory in itself is small enough to award them a 5.This would be the same sitaution as with a horde if they still existed.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 18:09, March 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Now that makes some decent sort of sence. Anyways, it matters not, in 2 years I will have them all goombastomped because of the other 25% in that other war.-Lx (leave me a message) 22:09, March 16, 2013 (UTC)
