Talk:Colonial America: 1600AD (Map Game)

Welcome to the talk page for Colonial America: 1600AD, below you can find the rules for the game and the maps as well as the sign-up for the nations. There will also be sections for suggestions and complaints as well as a general section for discussion of things such as alliances, political goals, land claims and such.

Rules

 * One Turn = One Season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall).
 * If your edit is not seen as plausible at all, it will be edited or deleted.
 * Each player gets only TWO actions a turn, actions can be things like declaring war, exploring, building a fort, etcetera.
 * All Maps are to be edited on paint, saved as a PNG and edited to a standard.
 * Don't ruin it by using cliches or by describing things dully, keep it interesting but also easy to read.
 * Record all the changes you make.
 * The Game starts in 1600 and ends in 2010
 * You may not edit another players turn without their or my permission, if you have a problem with someone's edit, contact me on my talk page here.
 * Remember to take things slowly.
 * Make sure to put important people, places and things in bold when you make your edits to make sure they're noticed.
 * Turns will be taken in alphabetical order.
 * If you make us wait for your turn to be over past 2 days you will be replaced. If you have things that would make it so you cannot do this you can hand over your colony to me until you come back.
 * Have fun and play nice.

Maps


Maps are the most important part of any map game, thus one must and will be posted at the end of every set of 4 turns.
 * Fully expand and copy the latest map when you make your map, be sure to read what has happened.
 * All maps must be saved as a .PNG to preserve image quality and for ease of editing.
 * Post maps as thumbnails from the area right below the section name.

Countries
You can play as any country that is reasonable (example; Afghanistan or South Africa would not probably be able to colonize the Americas or sustain colonies). Some possible Countries or Nations that are suggested are already listed.
 * Britain
 * Denmark
 * France
 * Germany/Holy Roman Empire
 * Netherlands
 * Scotland
 * Spain/Portugal
 * Sweden
 * Russia
 * Iroquois Indians
 * Plains Indians

Suggestions
since you have a of the world with plenty of colonial powers, should we just call this 1600: Colonialism, or can we only colonize America? Destroyanator 04:20, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
