Principia Moderni IV (Map Game)

Ming China, Ethiopian Empire, Hundred Years War, Western Schism.... that's right, it's finally back, the long awaited fourth dispansation of that immortal series, welcome to Principia Moderni IV! Starting in 1400 AD, this is the dawn of the modern world and the tail end of the Middle Ages. The Renaissance is just kicking off in Europe, while England and France are locked in the last gasp of the Hundred Years War. The Protestant reformation is just starting with Jan Hus in Hungary. The Ming Dynasty is dominating East Asia with the largest navy in the world, comparable only with the colonial empire of Venice and the budding navy of Portugal. The Muslim world is still realing from the invasions of Turks and Mongols, with the Caliphate resting in the collapsing Mamluke Egypt and the Ottomans on the rise in Anatolia. The Aztec and Incan Empires are on the rise in America. It's a time for old endings and new beginnings. Make it count.

The first game was the most successful on the wiki, leading all the way to the modern day with mostly plausible posts and little controversy. The second game reached almost to the modern day, but failed do to a plethora of ASB events and moderator bias. The third game was much more worthy of the first, almost running into implausibility but climbing back into a shining glory by the end. Riding on the latest reforms of map games since the end of PMIII, this is the most logical next step in that evolution. Remember above all other rules: have fun. :-)
