 * How in the world did Dakota get so big so fast?
 * They attacked and annexed Ute lands. Scandinator (talk) 23:37, December 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * I still think that this Ute conquest is unrealistic.even up to the 19th century, the Northern american tribes never subjugated each other to that extent.or, couple that with the fact that there are no traction animals on the area, so managing a empire becomes more difficult.or the fact that the Lakota have no centralized government.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 21:23, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * My genoan colony in east Cuba is missing. Bauglir Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All (talk) 21:01, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 *  Isn't it is East Hispanola??Scandinator (talk) 23:37, December 16, 2012 (UTC) 
 * The outpost in East Hispaniola was a failure​, most people left and went to Cuba, so the big one is the cuban, the one in East Hispaniola still exists but its smaller than the map shows, and in the game is little more than a town with a few slave plantations. Bauglir Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All (talk) 20:32, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alodia is a full-fledged part of the Caliphate now, not a vassal state. Fed (talk) 23:39, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Before you point this out today or tomorrow, i forgot it too for 1555.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 21:24, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Collie why didn't you use the map I uploaded for 1550 then? Why do you always do this and never use the maps which other people have uploaded and made? VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 02:25, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because i always forget to check them.Ah, and your rendition of Akmola on the latest map fixing doesn't seem right, as according with this map, Akmola doesn't control its own capital.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:03, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay I expanded Akmola a bit more. Also did Vinland and Sumatra changes too. Note I just added the Vinland expansion event because the last time I did it, it seemed to be forgotten so I've just done it again, that's why I went back & added the mod event.

 * Where's Manchuria's New Harbin colony? The Manchurians should have a dot of territory in OTL Sonora based around the port of Guaymas. Yank 20:37, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, I didn't know where this Guaymas was, so i put the colony on Baja California.Ah, and the 1000 sq km figure is to be divided among the colonies, not to be used simultanously by two colonies.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:49, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd still like it placed where it's supposed to be on the next map. Also there should be another Native Antillian country roughly in northern Indiana. Yank 05:03, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * I ddn't add this country because i didn't know where was Indiana, as i'm not American.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 12:51, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * You do know that both of those problems could be fixed by simply looking at a map? Yank 15:33, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Neither Nuovo Brescia (accidentally called Nuovo Padua a couple times) or Nuovo Firenze are shown on the map. One is on the East Coast of Lake Nicaragua the other is in West Papua (whereever in Papua, I don't care) Scandinator (talk) 09:20, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * I added the one in West Papua but Lake Nicaragua is surrounded at all sides so I can't add that other colony of your's ~Von.
 * Did algorithm but was too lazy to calculate how long the war would take, but I had taken 37% at max. Enough time has elapsed in the game for me to annex it anyway. Please merge the Khosut Khanate with China. CrimsonAssassin (talk) 15:49, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * I fixed this ~Von.
 * I don't seem to find the (revamped) colony of New Alexandria; it's on eastern Sulawesi. Fed (talk) 05:20, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Its there, I've added some more expansion. You may need to zoom in a fair bit to see the colony. ~Von

1565 Map Issues


 * The Satomi clan annexed the Ōtomo clan back in 1561. The Ōtomo clan was located in Northern Kyushu. -Kogasa [[Image:Symbol of Natori, Miyagi.png|23px|border]][[Image:宮城県.png|23px|border]][[Image:Flag of Japan.png|23px|border]] 2012年12月29日 06:42:24 (JST)
 * I've included a link to the wikipedia article on Guaymas here. now there should be no exucuse to get the location of my New Harbin colony wrong. Yank 19:53, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Iroquois and Mecklenburg conquered by Brandenburg. Altmark by Saxony. Austria in personal union with Brandenburg.

1570 Map Issues

I fixed a few problems with Nippon-koku: -1565 - Miyoshi clan was annexed by the Satomi -1567 - Yamana clan merges/annexed into Satomi -1569 Rokkaku and Mononobe clans victory. Ashina clan is split between both clans. -Kogasa 2013年1月03日 06:59:32 (JST)

i hereby claim my Expansion of the last ten years, as if you see in the last maps i have not expanded in the map despite my post always stating in them my expansion, and aswell the two colonies One in Northcarolinian-Georgian border on the Us and one south to the Scandinavian one, i also claim my 10 Years of expansion on them since 1560 when i founded them after 50 years of my last legitim Colony in 1510 when i founded my two colonies and the expansion rates have been this ones '''"colonies expand neu antwerp 750 sq km venizela 500 sq km Antilia expands 750 sq km, Argentium 500 sq km Brasilea 750 sq km Nouvelle Dijon expands 250 sq km and Nouveau Charlesopolis 250 sq km, the Anarcadier expands 250 sq km."

Infrastructure doesn't count for your score unless you are the defender.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 22:40, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Are you sure? Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 22:49, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Yes.it's even on the rules.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:07, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

And plus, your capital is pretty much in the other side of the world, the chance for NPC's isn't random (is the number right after your number), and your score can only be 3 on motive, because you aren't defending your ownteritory, and fighting to help an ethnicity on their nation is pretty much implausible, since it is an native nation, after all.their motive is 10, as you already had shown pretensions of annexing them before, and all the other motives that give 7 do not apply.and, your ages are pretty much the same, as the formation of the Haudenosaunee and the last government change of Brandenburg happened on the same timeframe.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:28, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

OK. I'll fix the math in the morning; I'm going to sleep now. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 07:17, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

OK I'm doing this all over again. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 23:18, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Again, you did the economy wrong, the Haudenosaunee appeared in 1458, so it was more than 100 years ago.And there ain't no way their motive can't be 10, counting the precendents.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:44, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

No, it's five. I'm trying to get as much as possible, not all of it. And these advantages are becoming really implausible. How on earth can native tribes fight back armed Europeans? Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 07:26, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Well, in OTL, the Haudenosaunee themselves survived until the 18th century.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 09:39, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

I also might be absent from today until tuesday, or it is thursday? i always confuse these the day before wednesday.but don't worry, the map will be ready before 1570 ends, and i already told AP to take my place on posting in case that i can't access the internet there.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 17:53, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

The day before wednesday is tuesday. Also I can do the map if you want. You'll probably want to update your colonies yourself mind you, so take the current updated map for 1565 and upload it for 1570 with your colonial expansion on it and I'll do the rest. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 18:46, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

I think you need a leader, else the military development scores and the economy scores can't be done.i assume the leader would be likely Rumelia, ain't it?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 17:39, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

I'd say Rumelia would be the leader. Fed (talk) 17:51, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah Rumelia makes the most sense.

Also wouldn't relgion be the reason? The Mahdi wants to spread Islam rather than gaining economic resources.

Also thank you very much for making the algorithm I was dreading doing it. --VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 18:42, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

The HRE states are missing. I'll add them. And can all the Caliphate states always give M or S in a war? Sounds kind of ridiculous... Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 18:55, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

That is a bit ridiculous, considering that most of the turns by the Caliphate in 1566 are "builds up its economy/military", with no word of being involved in the war, yet their names are still in the algorithm. ChrisL123 (talk) 19:21, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

What he said. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 19:34, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

The Byzantium side has a larger colonial empire(Scandinavia, Venice, etc). Not to mention the penalties for recent wars on the side of the Caliphate. Isn't there penalties for having 3+ wars at once(Byzantium, Morocco, Adal, etc).AP (talk) 19:46, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

No you misunderstand the algorithm, its colonial empire of the countries which are fighting in the war only. So only the colonial empires of Byzantium and Caliphate are considered.

And the wars being waged at the same time are being done by different provinces of the caliphate so that stuff don't apply. Its the same as penalizing Venice for a war fought by Brandenburg just because they both in the HRE. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 22:22, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

We're talking about the leaders here. And you guys don't have a colonial empire, just an empire. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 22:25, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * No you fool, we have colonies in Africa, 4 colonies to be exact. Socotora, Chomellak and two in South Africa. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 14:11, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

 * Yep. Airlinesguy (talk) 00:16, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

On the other algorithms, the coalition's colonial empire was considered. The penalties make no sense because there should be a hefty penalty for fighting a 3 front war. Wouldn't that be a bit difficult for anyone? And that example made no sense because the Caliphate is a single entity with provinces while the HRE is a loose federation of sovereign states.AP (talk) 01:17, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Byzantium are not fighting in a coalition. And my example makes perfect sense if that is how we've been treating the caliphate for the past 100 years. Please read the rules and check past examples properly before applying them to this case. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 14:11, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

You need to add the other russian states to the allies list. They're being invaded so they'll be fighting too. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 22:58, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

WOAH! I leave for a couple of days, and when I come back I'm being ANNEXED? The Royal Guns (talk) 20:56, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

A) Since Poland and Novgorod are also leaders, you must count their population- AND ANYWAY ours is 8 digits.

As a result, you also have to count their military development and Economic development, and Infrastructural development.

Next, our motive is 10, because you have more than sufficeint power to annex us- as you just proved.

Baltica will be aiding us, as they are part of Russia and a player nation- add another M, if not L.

And shouldn't half of Europe be supporting us? The Royal Guns (talk) 21:01, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

You guy's haven't posted for a while so I doubt your development scores will be anything to shout about. Secondly, Europe isn't supporting you because they've got their own wars to deal with. Regardless, you'll be independent again in 1575 (a mere 6 years away) so stop moaning; plus then you'll have most of Russia/eastern europe flattened so it'll be easy for you to conquer them.

Basically keep quiet for a while & you'll have you territory back and more soon enough giving you a chance to unite Russia under your exclusive control as you'll have the prime position to take over all of Russia yourself once all the new Russian states gain independence from the Caliphate in 6 years. Remember this is our empire we're breaking up in 1575 so make it quite hard or easy for you to pick up the pieces. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:55, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Russia is annexed into the caliphate in 1570 as the war started in 1567.

Results
Imperial victory. If the leaders want land from Bavaria, they get ((38/(38+29))*2)-1 = 13.43%, and the length of the war will need to be determined.

Discussion
Bavaria's government did not change, many reichstag members, as well as the royal family, were secretly Kappelist. (thank you for setting up the algorithm scraw, i'm not good at it.)

i should have a plus for infrastructure as I built it up too, it wasn't just the militaryAndr3w777 (talk) 01:01, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

No, you were fighting to leave the HRE, and they're fighting to stop you. Not sure what that would mean in terms of motive scores, though. ChrisL123 (talk) 22:29, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

The reason is immaterial it is still a fight for my life, as per rules it should be a 10 I've not broken law in succession, it is in the treaty and our constitution if they refuse, I've not done anythingAndr3w777 (talk) 22:43, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Similar to what I said above, leaving the HRE and becoming part of the Kappelist league would be a change in a government but it'd be a popular revolt so you have to multiply your final score by 1.5. Therefore it'd be life or death because your new non-HRE government is fighting to stay out of the HRE and retain its current kappelist independent government. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 22:56, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

The Imperial's motive isn't to destroy their nation though. Their purpose is to stop the Bavarian government from leaving the HRE. Likewise, Bavaria's motive is an independence war. I believe the right motive is Defending (fighting to defend territory you already own, +5).

i suppose for the ske of arguement it can be anywhere between a 5 and a 7. Since it is merely a protectionist war, this succession to be clear, has been planned, and does not directly involve Kappelianism as of yet.Andr3w777 (talk) 01:45, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

The Caliphate
Let me make something perfectly clear. I don't think the Caliphate's recent actions qualify as jumping the shark. Thatt happened a long time ago. To refrence the Nostalgia Critic the Caliphate jumped the shark then went back to shoot it in the balls, raping it, eating it's flessh, consuming it's soul mounting it's head on the wall and then doing the same to twelve more sharks just to be sure. When the hell are we going to decide that enough is enough? When the entire European continent is worshipping Allah? I would get off their backs if they just stopped doing implausible things. At this point they've become serious competition with the Mongol Empire at it's prime for the largest land empire. It just pisses me off how bloated the dammned Caliphate is getting. It was to big ecades ago, and it's definitely too big now. There need to be consequences.Yank 03:48, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

What he said. All the way.

Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 03:50, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, I have enough with this nonesense. I've been posting the same thing aagain and again since the damned Great Holy War and you're still calling us the progenitor of all implausibility. We have been planning this for ages, and it'll be "enough" when the Mahdi falls down and the Muslim armies die or flee to their area in chaos.

You would get off our backs when we were 2 square kilometre enclaves in Crusader land because for some reason you have a huge bias against everything Muslim.

Nothing at all close to "competing with the Mongol Empire", since, as you could see if you opened a map of the time, we're barely larger than the damned Umayyads but you still call us a source of implausibility even though you have a HRE that can actually unite, and (this is especially ironic), a group of what at the time was a bunch of barbaric tribes worse than the Mongols at their worst colonising America. Fed (talk) 04:20, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

First of all, the HRE had everything planned since the NINETEEN SIXTIES of Principia Moderni. Also you guys expanded at the same rate you are now before this "Mahdi" came.

Hell, I had no problems whatsoever with the original Caliphate. The you guys gallioned into the Balkans, Persia, India, and Central Asia.

You're way larger than the original Umayyad Empire. Look how far you people moved into India and Central Asia.

The HRE could have united OTL. Problem was, there were several problems that happened OTL along the way that didn't happen ATL. Also, who else is going to colonize Europe? Venice had capabilities. That said, they used them in this game. Brandenburg? That's the might of Spain kicking in. Nothing else to say, because we're the ONLY ONES colonizes in the Americas. (Oh, Burgundy? That's your OTL France in South America.)

Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 04:29, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

The Caliphate cannot last more than a decade without a major collapse. You all gave me an estimate of 35 more years about 35 turns ago, so they need to start collapsing now. LurkerLordB (Talk) 04:30, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

What Yank said basically sums up what's wrong with the Caliphate(graphic, but effective). Fed, look at the next map and you'll see the implausibility of the Caliphate's actions(IE CONQUERING RUSSIA, Adal, Morocco, half the damn Indian subcontinent, almost all of Central Asia. You guys are so implausible that you guys are going to border the German states and Scandinavia! If this was real history, you guys would have lost-- hands down. BUT since their isn't any penalty for having a 4-FRONT war and the fact that an algorithm decides the fate of a nation, you guys get away with it. All your planning is a thinly-veiled way of getting away with straight-up implausibility.AP (talk) 04:36, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

The only people to historically conquer Russia were the Mongols. You are not in any way, shape, or form, the Mongols, nor do you resemble them and their sheer power. End of story. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 04:42, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and not to mention that they like to divide areas into smaller and smaller provinces in order to get more military strength on algorithms. For example, Dulkadir, Trebizond, Karaman, and Candar could all be amalgamated into the Anatolia province but they keep them separate to get that extra +3. The list goes on and on...AP (talk) 04:43, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Russia, the Indian provinces, and the Anatolian ones will all revolt the next turn. Remember, if the result of the algorithm is implausible, it can be blocked- what should have happened with Russia. The Caliphate is going to collapse into a bloody mess for the next ten years because they are overextended like crazy. LurkerLordB (Talk) 04:52, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

For heaven's sake. 'Do you even read what I write? or do you pass it off as "oh those crazy Moslems are being evil and writing implausibilities again"?!'

The DME has also have everything planned since the start of PM2. Hell, I proposed the Mahdi to happen before 1500.

The wars in the Balkans are OTTOMAN, India is partly an inheritance of sorts of somebody who left the game and partly due to helping our ally. If you notice, Bengal won more land than us, but sure, because they can be influenced by Europe they are perfectly fine.

The Umayyad Emirate also controlled Central Asia, and it doesn't matter since Yankovic, complaining as hard as he possibly can, told us we were starting to beat the bloody MONGOL EMPIRE. Which is not at all the case. But sure, as you said, either we aren't the Mongols or we are, and since Yankovic says we are the Mongols, then I guess we can take over bloody Russia. And plenty of countries have BEAT Russia in their own land. Do "Poland", "Sweden" and "Crimea" ring any bells?

I don't mind Europe colonising America. I mind the Incas converting to Christianity and the Manchu tribes randomly becoming an empire more organised than China and colonising America. That is as implausible as the Caliphate, but since it either a) didn't affect European players or b) helped them, OF COURSE nobody complained. Since we're complaining about the Balkans and India, I feel I can complain about this too.

The HRE could have united in OTL? sure, with a 1170 AD POD and no Reformation.

I gave you an estimate of 35 more years 35 turns ago. I gave Von an estimate of 1500 in 1470. I'm lousy at math.

We are expanding tenfold because, y'know, we're in a short phase of mad expansion that follows collapse. In OTL we've lost? Really? because as far as I can see,         .

Dulakdir, Karaman and Candar are not part of the Anatolia province because in-game they have their own dynasty and out of game it leaves Dean with less provinces than the rest of us. Trebizond's separtae because 1 it's Von's and 2 it's mostly Greek.

And I get Russia and India, but the Anatolian provinces revolting make no fucking sense at all. But sure, that point of view comes from somebody who plays a Muslim nation, so it surely costs a tenth of yours.

Fed (talk) 05:00, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

First of all, I am neither George W. Bush or another racist white person. I have no bias against you guys just because you're Muslim.

That said, Bengal is in India. For Pete's sake man, the damn Caliphate is based out of Turkey and Arabia. India? Funny. Over 50%? Hysterical.

The Umayyad Caliphate DID NOT  PLACE ITS NORTHERN BORDER IN KAZAKHSTAN . They hardly made it past Uzbekistan.

Also, you guys are larger than the Umayyads. The lack of Spain is made up by Turkey, the Balkan, Transcaucasia, and oh, what's that? Oh yes, ' KAZAKHSTAN. '

Also, your revolution is not like the ones listed. (And checking all those links was very annoying. Try to avoid that in the future.) The Mahdi was the existing Caliph. Do not name Alexander the Great. That psychopath did inherit his throne, yes, but he got stopped in India and Central Asia. And Africa. (No Ethiopia, see.)

Also, I think just because it's Von's is no excuse for it to stay apart.

Anatolian revolts? I have to agree on this one. A little farfetched. Less farfetched than the sheer size of the Caliphate, though.

Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 05:14, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I meant Balkan, not Anatolian, for the revolting provinces, sorry.

The Caliphate's expansion, other than Russia, is not super-implausible more tham standard map game fare. However, they've had their expansion, and now its time for their collapse. Yes, you gave me an estimate of 35 years 35 years ago. Now those years are up, and it is time for the Caliphate to implode. The higher the pedastal, the harder the fall... LurkerLordB (Talk) 05:24, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

You seem to be George Bush, since you all seem to be perfectly free to be as implausible as you damn well wish but we can't do anything.

That said, the Caliphate is based out of Turkey and Arabia. Alexander's Empire was based out of Pella. Trajan's Empire was based out of Rome. Charles V's Empire was based out of Vienna. Persia? Egypt? America? Funny. Over 50&? Hysterical.


 * sighs*. AGAIN. We ARE larger than the Umayyads, but YANKOVIC. TOLD. US. WE. WERE. OF. THE. SIZE. OF. THE. MONGOLS*

I'm not avoiding something I use to prove my point, thank you very much. Alexander the Great got stopped where he stopped having knowledge of the world. Was his army not scared, tired, and going into lands they didn't know, they would've gone farther. The Mahdi's army is not scared, is not tired, and knows Europe.

No, but dynasties and being of a different culture are.

Less farfetched than the Soviet Union. Or the British Empire. Or the modern United States. Or Napoleon's Empire. Or Charles V's Empire. Or Charlemagne's Empire. Or Belisarius' Empire. Need I go on?

The Balkans also make no sense. LIKE A THIRD OF THE ARMY IS PLACED THERE. Another proof that people don't pay attention at what the Muslim provinces post.

AGAIN. I gave you a standard of 35 years 35 years ago. It went wrong because I am lousy at math. My previous estimates? 1489, 1492, 1500, 1511. Does that mean that the Mahdi should've rosen in any of that dates? Because I'll be glad to edit him in. Fed (talk) 05:27, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not Yank. That alone derails your entire argument. The Soviet Union rose from the Russian Empire. Less territories, in fact. US today? What about it? Napoleon's Empire? Puppet states, not direct annexation. Besilarius? Wait, who? Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 05:32, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

You're on Yank's argument. Just because you're not him doesn't derail his argument. You agree with his argument, and we apparently being larger than the Mongol Empire even when somebody that is not blind and can see a map can show you its not the case.

Fine then the Russian Empire. the US today is a HUGE state that arose out of lucky accidents and events in which it did the right choices at the right time. Napoleon's Empire still hugely spread. You know you can search on Wikipedia for stuff? Belisarius was a general who almost restored the Byzantine Empire to the Roman Empire's extension. Is he implausible too? Fed (talk) 05:37, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

All of those examples grew either far less rapidly and as much as the Caliphate has, and several of them have had far more advanced technology as well. Your previous estimates have shown that you've delayed the collapse for about 80 years. It's time for the Caliphate to go.

And stop making baseless racism accusations against anyone who questions you. LurkerLordB (Talk) 05:38, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I said you're not the same size as the Mongol Empire. What's wrong with you?

And what Lurk said is exactly the rest of my argument. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 05:40, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Excuse me? What's wrong with me? and the "fuck them" in Andrew's chat? Don't talk like that to me again.

And YANK said I was. I was replying to Yank. I have repeatedly stated that we are larger than the damned Umayyads and that the Mongol post was adressed at Yankovic.

I'm not making baseless racism accusations, I'm stating that since in the game we are "evil moslems" you don't read my comment.

Far less rapidly? Is Alexander's Empire, or Napoleon's, or Hitler's or Belisarius', all of which lasted twenty years, risen more slowly than the Caliphate? Did a two year conquest of the Aztec and the Inca, itself only thirty years away from the discovery of America, last more than an 80-year process? the math doesn't make up to me.

And I've delayed the collapse 80 years? No, all those estimates show I don't know how long would the Caliphate take. Because really, otherwise it would've been a 5-year thing with no sense. We told you something and know you're clinging on to it even though I've told you again and again that was not an estimate and was wrong since our math was off.

Fed (talk) 05:45, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Fuck them also being let them get screwed; aka Russia. You're getting a little confused here...

And who said you were "evil Moslems" other than yourself?

Also, we are not counting the present Mahdiate, as it is simply a direct extension of the Caliphate formed however-long-ago it was.

Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 05:49, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Well, since context is not the easiest thing to get out of a text, fine.

Nobody I grant, but you are still not reading my post. I assume it's because I'm arguing for the Mahdinate. If that's not the correct thing, fine.

And I am also counting it. The Caliphate has lasted about 80 years, so it's taken a lot more to reach its current form than any of the empires have.

I'm going to sleep now, but could you all please take a look at my argument and read the whole point? Because I've been repeating some things since in-game decades ago and that's what's been annoying me to no edge. Fed (talk) 05:53, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Like all of those 20-year empires, the Caliphate will fall. Furthermore, you cannot equate a Spanish conquest of a native nation with those of the Caliphate. You fail to realize the severity of your implausibility. Think about it. Russia is enough to convict you; then you add in Adal, Morocco, Ethiopia, Byzantium, Central Asia, India, the Syriac plot to invade Cyprus, the Algerian plot to "invade Europe,ETC and you get the grand prize for most implausible map game move. My point being that the Caliphate is way overdue for collapse.AP (talk) 05:55, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I am going to say this ONCE.

Cut the arguing.

And, for the record? SS is correct.

Lordganon (talk) 05:55, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Anyone using gratuitous profanity in this argument like what was posted in that chat will get suspended, it has no place here, and that's the final warning.

When will your math be right? It was wrong 80 days ago, it was wrong 70 days ago, it was wrong 60 days ago, it was wrong 35 days ago, why should I believe that it is right now? Can you give me a definite date, very soon by which it will suffer a violent collapse, either by the players or by moderator events? Otherwise, I'm destroy in in the next several turns. LurkerLordB (Talk) 06:04, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

*Sigh*

Why do you think we bothered to make the Caliphate page so detailed? You people have had access to the Caliphate/Mahdi plans since the beginning of the game and the long discussions about the plans. Doing all of this now and claiming ignorance is your own fault, especially when you've been commenting on our planning page about our plans. You've known all along that the (who started to rule in 1566) was going to rule as the prophesied redeemer of Islam who will rule for seven, nine or nineteen years. His army thinks that he was sent by God to conquer the world and that in 1575 or so the world will end so they are going to fight like there is no tomorrow thinking that they are fighting for God's own general.

It ends in 1575, as should the world should have ended sometime between 1573 and 1575. When it reaches 1576 the feelings that the Mahdi is a fraud will reach boiling point and he will be discovered to be so. The Muslim armies in disarray will collapse and all of the conquered people's will form their own independent nations and Islam will collapse as the bulk of all Muslim's will have their faith spat out as the Mahdi stuff turns out to be lies. So yeah 1576 will mean no more Caliphate. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 13:16, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I have one question, and one question only.

When Russia comes back in 1575, can we get the *1.5 bonus now? Since we're leading a revolution? Please? The Royal Guns (talk) 21:08, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah when the player states which gain independence from the Caliphate from 1575 onwards, then those nations will be new nations but it'd be a popular revolution. There will be a lot of new states and much territory in civil disarray though so you won't get back all of your former territory back straight away. No large empires will gain independence from the Caliphate as the various ethic & cultural groups will not give up the chance to be their own independent nation without a fight. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:32, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Why did your Mahdi plans take so long to occur? I had been operating under the assumption that your plans would happen earlier, and I had given you multiple warnings months ago that the Caliphate was nearing collapse. Why did you fail to carry out your plans soon enough?

But anyways, I'll give you 6 more years, but by 1576 they need to be seriously breaking up (in a damaging war way, not a way that lets a bunch of powers form from the ruins), or I might snap and destroy the Middle East via asteroids or something.

LurkerLordB (Talk) 23:55, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Seriously? Europes players are just pissed because thet dont want to get there rearends beaten into the dirt. They didnt seem to mind doing it to the Caliphate earlier in the game? And ss abd other guys swearing? I thought you guys said only "immature" people do that. Double standard guys.

I'm planning for the Persian/Turkish states to be broken up into dozens of small little successor states, so there is no worry of an empire from ashes there. Von basically explained our argument. However, as a general form of internet-respect, can we all agree to read each other's post before arguing. It cuts a lot of unnecessary arguing from whichever side. (This applies to more that our current scenario with the Caliphate.) Also, to correct the terminology used, the Caliphate is no more. The Mahdiate, which is now in place, is to fall at given time.

There is something wrong with the algorythm.Adal is in civil disarray.as such, the amount of territory that you can take is multiplied by 1,5 and in the part of how much you actually get on the war, you drop the "2 x years" part.And Adal's nation age score shouuld be -5 because there had been 12 years since the last government change.It still doesn't change the fact that Adal is annexed.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:25, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

And shouldn't be Ethiopia's Adalese war be counted as a recent war?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:35, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Again minus 1 or 2 points, still doesn't change the fact Adal is annexed. Besides it'll be independent again within a decade.

But I didn't know about the special results rules for civil disarray nations, I thought it was just normal rules or expansion into them. I will remember for the future. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:09, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Well, colonial expansion is possible on those kinds of nations.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:13, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry I should have done this with the rest of the wars Fed started, I missed it out. My apologises. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 00:50, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Why in every Caliph/Mahdi-ate war that you're fighting lately, West Qonyulu is a leader?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 11:34, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Russia, Post-Caliphate
Just saying, I realize that Russia will not be fully intact after the fall of the Caliphate, but because I have the Russian Royal Families collectively staging an insurrection in 1575, gathering allies and what not till then, it will mostly be the Central Asian parts that break away- the parts annexed in the past 25 years- and not so much the parts that we conquered 125 years ago... right? Or the Polish and Novgorodian colonies (which is where part of their Royal families fled to)? So when we get completely freed in 1576, we'll have to reinvade only those parts, right?

The Royal Guns (talk) 20:37, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think the Polish and the Lithuanians will join this federation after this. they had no business being there in the first place, as they were your (Muscovy) enemies.The same goes for the Moldavians and that part of Livonia.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 21:16, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah you conquered them, they're not going to agree to you taking them over again willingly just like they won't agree to a new caliphate taking them over. Same goes for the rest of the territory conquered by the caliphate, no conquered territory will willingly let themselves be reconquered. Hence the Russian Federation and Caliphate will no longer exist. Heck maybe not even the HRE if the Mahdi wins enough wars. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:06, January 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * How this part is going to be? i mean, will those nations be formed by a mod event or something?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:21, January 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * No. Lithuania and area are mostly of RUssian descent, and the Poles have been in our little Federation for nigh on 100 years. Also, the Royal Families all survived and fled to Scandanacia, as well as their respective colonies (well, not Muscovy, they'd have fled to someone else's colonies) where no one can reach them. Meanwhile, I have agents working in Muscovy and Poland to o'erthrow our oppressors, starting in 1575; we'll be revolutionary, but will be forced to make concessions to the people helping us- including, ironically, the Red Hand, who will demand a more democratic government. That said, apart from a few changes to the structure of govenrment, Since the curent governing apparatus has survived, the Russian Federation can and will continue once the Caliphate falls. The Royal Guns (talk) 00:22, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Russia
Alright, How can this happen, I am cut off from the internets in Cuba for thee days and the bloody caliphate has conquered one of the most fortified and well-armed fortresses in the world? The center of the european arms trade, Europe's most intimidating navy, and more firearms per military man than any other nation on earth. I made sureof that. All occupied within three years without my concent and without an algorithm? how can this not be against the rules I am still wondering. The only people to conquer russia were the mongols, and even they did not conquer the Novgorodians, they were too cold and too marshey. What happened to Russia is an implausigasm. I suggest have a mod event have the russian winter kill the invaders...you know, for the sake of historical plausibility, people invade russia=death by freeze...unless of course, you are the mongols, but they are the exception to every rule. -Lx (leave me a message) 07:46, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

I also think that it is implausible, but apparently, they are going collapse by 1576.Until then, you can try to do what the Muscovian player is doing.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 11:30, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

We are collapsing like Collie said, so don't worry. Like Collie said, do what the Muscovian player is doing and you'll resurface fine enough.

And Russia's invulnerability is overstated; sure, only the Mongols conquered it, but Sweden, Poland and the Ottomans have all defeated them. It's like saying only Spain has conquered Colombia, and the mountains are very hard to cross, but it doesn't mean it's impregnable. Fed (talk) 16:02, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

This reminds me that it's 1571.apparently, it was that year in OTL that Moscow was burnt by the Crimean Hetmanate.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:05, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Cool, yes, we've been defeated. Thank you for the *1.5 bonus we'll get, BTW. And I've arranged it such that, with the help of the Red Hand, the Federation shall survive (and what doesn't, we can conquer). What did you think the Red Hand was? Except a plausible method of engaging upon our survival in EXACTLY this case? Come 1575, Russia's back. Come 1576... the Caliphate is gone. So, basically, prognosis; the HRE has ripped itself apart; So has Italy; the Caliphate will collapse; the Federation will easily recover; because of a revolutionary bonus; to beocme the effective superpower of the world; with the ability to conquer most of the Black sea and Eastern Europe; as well as Central Asia; and to form a nation that will last as a superpower to the modern day; overall prognosis; THANK YOU, CALIPHATE!The Royal Guns (talk) 00:32, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
