That State in Russia (YS)
Yeah No. I saw your message on Nuke's page, and that state will not be happening - purely becauase it is under a few feet of glaciated ice. Anywhere else, it is HRE's territory. Imp (Say Hi?!) 13:01, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

Who is calling ASB on the state? The makers of the Russian Republic? Read the talkpages of the articles in question. You will find that me and Ms agreed to the Russian Republic and the HRE fighting over Moscow, with the Russian Republic losing out and being forced eastward.

And yes, the ice is that south. Imp (Say Hi?!) 13:08, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Caesar of Rome
Sure, I could use a bit of help, thanks!

What I had in mind for the country so far is that Poland-Lithuania sort of drives the Russian influence out of Europe, helps to drive out Ottoman influence in Europe over a century or two after a -type religious conflict, and "take over" Russia's title as a protector of Slavs, eventually helping the Balkans be free from Ottoman rule. You can read my Sandbox if you would like to see what else I had in mind thus far, especially concerning religion.

I can't wait to see your work. ChrisL123 (talk) 21:01, April 19, 2014 (UTC)

The Royal Tank had original singed up as Cuba, PR, Spanish Sahara (Reo do Oro and Ifin City) and the Philippines. As I expanded the colonies list I automatically added his name (Caroline Islands and Palau). Today I realized I missed off Spanish Equatorial Guinea. As Spanish controller it should be yours, Caroline Islands and Palau are reallocated to you.

And finally I add in YOUR name-
 * Spanish Equatorial Guinea (colony of Spain): [[Image:Flag of Russian Alaska (HR).svg |40px|link=User talk:Octivian Marius]] OCT MARIUS, HAIL HIM  [[Image: Flag of Italy (Federalist Italy).svg|40px|User talk:Octavian Marius]]

Hey Octivian
I'm glad you liked Franz's World and the article (my only hope is that this place does not end up like another Alternia). As for your piece on youth in AH/map games, I would love to post it on my blog. I don't know much about either topic (being in my 30s and not having ever played a map game) so it would certainly be educational. If you do find someone to collaborate with I could then publish it. Keep me posted. You can also reach me at ahwupdate at gmail dot com. Mitro (talk) 23:22, February 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * Awesome. I look forward to reading it. Mitro (talk) 18:21, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

Axis vs Allies: Renovated
I'm a good reputation player, because I had played too many map games before. I'm allowed to choose a bold nation with over 1000 edits in Axis vs Allies: Renovated?

AvA Nation Request
Hello Oct

I want to ask to be allowed to play as Great Britain in AvA:Renovated. You know me a bit now, and I feel like I've made a lot of steps forward and I think I can take on a big nation. Its your decision however, so if you disagree that's alright. I hope to hear from you soon

Re:Inkscape Help
Glad to hear you downloaded Inkscape. I wouldn't call myself a god, more like a map nerd with too much free time. That said, I would love to help you out.

In general, I would say to play around and see what works for you, as different settings work for different projects (flags vs. maps). As tutorials go, I highly recommend this masterpiece by Upvote. She did an amazing job explaining things than I ever could.

As for Wikipedia... yeah... that's me. Can't said if the current version is mine, but I certainly was the one who first uploaded those maps. A lot of my early work is still floating around there, though they would likely be out of date by now. -- 17:20, May 17, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm very happy that you like the tutorial. I'm sorry to say that I don't have any in regards to COAs and flags. Though as a personal rule of thumb, I just play around with different ideas until I find something that works for me and my available resources. I'm also very happy you like New Kamchatka's COA. ^_^


 * Your recent uploads look excellent on my end. They look like they came off of Wikipedia and the like. -- 04:38, May 18, 2016 (UTC)

Sea Dragons
I  saw your question in the chat,

In the short term the Philippines is lost to the Spanish forever and the Ming Dynasty is frustrated in dealing with more piracy problems. In the long term a culture is created with many pirates from China's southern coast attempting to make a new business farther south, disrupting China and the European colonial empires. This is a challenge to China's Confucian governance and society. A new Golden Age of Piracy of Asia blossoms in the 17th century, meanwhile due to economic changes and millitary problems the decline of the Ming Dyansty accerlates

For example: The famous Japanse invasion of Korea is intially more succesful than OTL due to a larger pirate activity the Japanse took advantage of, Japanese fought the Chinese in two fronts instead of one in both Korea and the Phillpines. Ming China eventually crushes Japan more than OTL but a great cost, in the meantime Japan with a more shaming failure falls back into civil war.

Ming China instead of being overwhelmed by the Manchus entirely will break up into competing states, further destablisizing the long traditonal of beaucratic rule based on Confucian morals. The different warring states will use pirarcy aganist each other.

Meanwhile Chinese exert a greater influence in Southeast Asia, with some indiviual pirate created nations putting a challange to European colonial nations. More by acciadent than by intent Chinese and other asian nationalities will play a greater role in exploring Oceania and the Pacific.

Re:Venusian Haven Ideas
I suppose a more agrarian lifestyle could be adopted for many of the Venusian colonies. But as a suburbanite myself, I find such a move [personally] hard to comprehend. I will need to do some more reading on this.

Given that Cassini gains independence by today, it wouldn't surprise me that some form of Cassinian nationalism would've already been created by today. This likely would also be the case for all Venusian nations, BTW. As for how far it would go, anything is possible.

Keep in mind that I'm open to differing designs, I've been partially set on the COAs of both Cassini and Kennedy incorporating a shield which shows their flags. In the case of Kennedy, the flag (and shield) are based on the personal shield of the Kennedy family (similar to Washington, D.C.). I'd also see Cassini's COAs having heraldic similarities to those of Bosnia and Kosovo. So long as these features are kept, I'm more than open for expansion/deviation when it comes to the final form. Do you have any suggestions? -- 19:20, May 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh? Do forgive me. My intention was not to impede you in any manner, rather I intended to narrow down some ideas. Regardless, I'd love to hear what you had in mind.


 * Now I really need to read up on homesteading. In regards to free land, it was already headcanon that this would happen all across Venus. So thank you for giving me a name to further research this. But yes, a Homestead Act for Kennedy et al. seems most appropriate. -- 19:46, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

Wow! I actually really love this idea. To incorporate Origin into the COAs. Lovely. ^_^

Yes, some maintenance will be required, but you did an excellent job nonetheless. Though if you don't mind me adding, shouldn't Orion's Belt be included within the green field? Or was this another maintenance issue? Please keep up the great work. -- 21:22, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

Before I forget, there is a trick you can do which can help you out here. If you were to use my vector file for Cassini's flag (instead of a PNG), you can use this trick to allow the flag to fit neatly and seamlessly into the COA border.

When selecting the blue field, you can go to the "path" button (at the top of the program) and selected "simplify". This will turn the blue field into an editable path which you can mold. Using the "edit nodes" tool, you can add and move the boundaries of the blue field to fit neatly into the COA border you have. I do hope this helps you out. Let me know if you need more help. -- 21:28, May 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * In regards to Orin's Belt, I don't believe you need to worry about keeping the stars in alignment with the number of provinces. This is more of an American thing than a European thing. The EU flag is more for appearance than representation. There's also the fact that the current provinces are only WIP and (most certainly) not going to be the only ones. Hope this helps. -- 21:31, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

Forgive me, but shouldn't Orion's Belt be made up of three stars?

Also as an addition (I'm not too sure what you originally had in mind), but if you wanted to add supporters and a ribbon to the COAs, I'm more than open to that. I'm not saying this is a requirement, rather an option of you were interested in it.

Other than that, looks excellent. Feel free to add it. -- 22:54, May 23, 2016 (UTC)
