The Kuril Islands and Kamchatka are under Japanese control again ever since the end of the Sengoku Era back in 1609. Also the expansion in Kamchatka needs to be added as I've been expanding there for a long time now. -Kogasa  2013年2月27日 06:37:56 (JST)

Every single one of the changes pretaining to russia, and all other user-made changes to their nations, I presume, have been reverted to about 10 years ago. map mods, please, please use the latest bloody version of the map for your changes...all of russian land has been reverted about 20 years, and russian colonies have not expanded a single bit, in fact, they got smaller. I will put up my changes via photoshop. PLEASE USE THE LATEST OLD MAP FOR A BASE' YOU CAN PHOTOSHOP OR EDIT OR WHATEVER THE NEW CHANGES ONTO THE NEW MAP...THIS IS GETTING REDICULOUS. Caps lock there was to get attention, not to yell, people seem to listen just a little tiny bit more when its caps(not all that much though).-Lx (leave me a message) 21:52, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

I concur. I keep fixing my country and occasionally others because the map is continually the wrong version with the wrong expansion and borders and whatnot. CourageousLife (talk) 21:55, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and for some reason, my novorossiyan colony is expanded, but canada isnt, that is odd...anyways, I will fix my russia on the map...russia colonies and add the colonial expansion, because me no truse the mods to do russia colonies...since they ignored them in the past...-Lx (leave me a message) 22:07, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to know as a final decision by the mods as to whether or not the Novogrodian expansion in Texas is implausible or not, because I don't think it is. Airlinesguy (talk) 22:57, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

A: Anyone can edit an algorithm.

B: I didn't edit it.

C: I only used Vinland in wars in North America.

D: New Georgia is in Canada. This war is in Africa.

Do you see where I'm getting at, anon?

You have to the time thing:

Portugal can get 16,6% of Gujarat.

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.

Discussion
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)

Well, yeah. It'll help me abolish serfdom and destroy the caste system. And people might say a democracy solves the castle system, well look at India - its a democracy yet the caste issue still runs riot...

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)

Join the crowd, lol.

Although I don't plan on leaving the game anytime soon. Hope to see you again later!

Brandenburg's colonial empire is vastly larger than the Manchu one. Also, the Indian nations should not be anywhere on this list, and the upper class is pretty big in Venice.

@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)

Scan, could you give some basic definitions for these categories? (i.e. what resources could be mass-produced? How do you establish religious freedom in the sciences?) CourageousLife (talk) 16:09, 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.

One last thing: did Britain really have any form of general education whatsoever?

@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.

Austria has an alliance with me so i think it shouldn't be counted

there was Government change, Burgundy is Now a Constitutional monarchy, also why does luxembourg gets the 1.5 if it didn't either revolt or anything Sine dei gloriem (talk) 00:08, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Agreed, Luxembourg has had a 1.5 multiplier for a while and any revolt (which I didn't see happening) has gone over for a long time.

Anyways, what is it with the House of Luxembourg's recent extreme expansionist wars? Fed (talk) 01:09, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

@Sine your post doesn't count. It was after the new turn was posted.

@Fed Just this turn I had a revolution. And Luxembourg has never had a war since this one.

Sunni Caliph
I say, after the end of the previous caliph, a new one should be elected. A council of Sunni Muslims will be held Alhambra to elect a new caliph.

If I've messed anything up, please say so now. If not, I wish to vassalize this annoying nation. Took me close to a century and a half, but I finally did it. Adal is mine. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 21:22, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

So, I fixed a few things. You can expand your military and your economy, but you can only include one in the algorithm. After that, you divide the strength of the aggressor by the defender. Apart from the population, which Collie will have to look up for me, the rest is fine.108.214.113.122 21:47, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

That was me btw.AP (talk) 21:48, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Awesome. Thanks AP. Also, I expanded the military, economy, and infastructure at the same time after the invasion of Travancore (I believe more than 15 years ago). Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 22:41, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Man, how can u only get 1.8%? Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:11, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

I look at it an shake my head. I upgraded my military, economy, and infastructure 15+ years straight. By only my military is shown to have been upgraded. Should be close to 30%. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 19:19, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

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. Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 20:28, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * In order to not make them too easy to defeat. We were having this kind of problem before hand.without a NPC bonus, one could, say, invade France while it was inactive and topple their government, theorically.Anyway, the number difference falls more into having more advanced technology.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 22:01, February 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well there should be two forms of NPC bonuses. One, a strong NPC nation gets them, while some backward African/Indian nation doesn't. [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imp (Say Hi?!) 15:56, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I put the correct number in (61), and got 35.4%. May I annex Adal now? Also, which is more beneficial; vassalization or annexation? Vivaporius: "I don't need a slogan" 15:34, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

How are you calculating this? you only would get 35% if you got 100 points or so.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 15:44, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Ok. But how many pixels? :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:48, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

Bijapur is on the western coastline of India right? I'm using the 1600 named map to know which this country this. Well anyway Bijapur has 2,379 pixels. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 11:13, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

It is the country right below Gujarat.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:04, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, i just got lucky!! :) So the no of pixels I can claim is 20.7% of 2379.

So, I can claim 492 px of the country. Hmm... :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:46, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I would like the bright blue area next to Orissa (thats a priority), and I would also like however many pixels I can get on the coastline in bright blue. Thanks :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:54, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

War finished, with 20.7% of Bijapur in my control. :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 07:46, February 25, 2013 (UTC)

Question
Colonies can expand into unorganized areas, yes?

i assume you are talking about areas on civil disarray.Yes, but your expansion will be halved (if you expand 2000 sq km into a certain area, it will be counted for the map as 1000 sq km.)--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:00, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

So by how much can they expand? Does it have to fit with the normal colonial rates? Imp told me it was 15000sqkm.

 * Yes.it has to fit.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:06, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure a main country can expand into unorganised areas by 15,000km. But I think it might be different for colonies... Imp (Say Hi?!) 00:50, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

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)

The coalition can get only the set amount unless Burgundy agrees to give more than that.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:08, 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)
