Talk:Principia Moderni (Map Game)

War Algorithm
An updated algorithm can be found on the rules page

Location goes by capital city.
 * at the location of the war: 5
 * next to the location of the war: 4
 * close to the location of the war: 3
 * far from location of the war: 2
 * other side of the world: 1
 * Antarctica: 0

Tactical Advantage

 * attacker's advantage: 1
 * high ground: 2
 * Note: A country receives high ground if:

1) Its capital has a high topographical prominence, meaning it is surrounded by areas of significantly lower elevation. Even plateaus count, but it must be so that the enemy has to climb the mountain to capture the capital.

2) For countries being invaded from the coast, they get high ground if their capital is 300 m or higher.

3) A country invading via sea does not get high ground.

4) A country gets high ground if their capital is more than 300 m higher than the capitals of the neighboring countries.

5) A country invaded from a bordering country, and its capital is 500 m higher or more.

Strength

 * each country on a side of the war: L for leader (+4), M for military aid (+3), S for supplies (+2), V for vassalization or subordination (-1) and then W for withdrawal (-1). So a list of belligerents read like China (L), Zhuang Warlords (MVW), Japan (M), Korea (MW), Hawaiian rebels (MV), Mali (SW), creating a score of 13
 * country has developed military: 1 for each turn dedicated to military or military technology in the last 15 years
 * expansion: -1 for every turn used for expansion in the past 10 years

Motive

 * motive is life or death (country's sovereign existence is threatened): 10
 * motive is religious: 7
 * motive is social or moral: 6
 * motive is political: 5
 * motive is economic: 3

If there are multiple motives, the one told to the army will be selected.

Chance
0 to 9 points will be awarded to each person based on chance. Factors will be the opponent's edit count (on Althist's main articles) and the precise time when the country declares war or acknowledges the other's declaration of war. The product of the non-zero digits of the time by UTC (0:00 yields 1) will be written as a percentage of the opponent's edit count at the exact time of the declaration. If the resulting number is less than one hundred percent, the reciprocal is taken. The result is multiplied by pi and the hundredths digit is the amount of points that person gets (e.g. 123.8377% yields 3). The algorithm is online for fairness, but I will be the moderator.

Other

 * Countries in civil disarray are able to resist invasion by a factor of 1.5. However, they may not take territory in another country.
 * If X countries attack another country, they have to take 100X/(X+2)% of their opponents' territory to facilitate a full government transplant.
 * Expansion into countries not fully united is multiplied by 1.5, but it does not affect how well the country fares in war if it wins the war.
 * Stability bonus points as calculated by the stability moderator.

Stage 3 - huge factories near cities, massive urbanization, mass use of railways, steam powered ships common, electricial experimentation

 * Japan
 * Naples
 * Austria
 * Hungarian puppets/independent colonies/colonies/vassals
 * Napolitan puppets/colonies/independent colonies/vassals
 * Vietnamese puppets/colonies/vassals
 * French puppets/independent colonies/colonies/vassals
 * Chinese puppets/colonies/vassals
 * Labrador
 * Bharat
 * Bharati puppets/colonies/vassals
 * Japanese puppets/colonies/vassals/independent colonies
 * USA
 * Hanthawaddy
 * Hanthawaddian colnies/vassals/independent colonies/puppets
 * Manoa
 * Brunei
 * Afghanistan

Stage 4 - airplanes and cars, decrease in the factories near cities, more urbanization but focused on towns, electricity used in cities

 * Russia
 * Hungary
 * Egypt
 * Finland
 * Finnish colonies/independent colonies
 * Northern and littoranean China
 * Caliphate
 * United Principalities
 * Greece
 * Persia
 * Russian puppets/colonies/indeoendent colonies/vassals
 * Swedish former colonies

Discussion
I have one complaint: according to the list of what you need to do to advance, to get to stage 3 you need to open a rail link. However, for Naples, a nation with large amounts of its territory in islands, and with a significant portion in Africa, and the land being primarily a peninsula, it makes more sense for them to invest in steamships prior to investing in steam trains. So making the first functioning steamships should count as well as making the first rail link. LurkerLordB (Talk) 22:30, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah Nippon is in a similar situation due to all the islands, but I'm just going to do both but with more focus on steamships than trains. Of course I'll do some train lines but steamships are more relevant for Nippon, VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:11, February 14, 2012 (UTC).

I see your point. For Nippon and Naples ONLY, I accept a sea route operated by steam-powered ships.Scandinator (talk) 08:39, February 18, 2012 (UTC)

What about electricity? we have to assume that something like the voltaic pile eventually was discovered?i mean, already is 1818 and nothing about it.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 07:58, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Stability
2.5*Number of digits of population*Time

Time is:


 * 1) Number of years ruled / 10.
 * 2) Plug into: x^1.25/1.25^x.

So take the current United States: 9 digits in population. Ruled for 235 years. Thus:23.5^1.25/1.25^23.5*2.5*9 = 6 points



Graphical representation. Red is 6 digit in population, green is 7 digits, blue is 8 digits, and yellow is 9 digits. The horizontal axis is years and the vertical is bonus points.

Due to the vote, in which every voting player agreed, this system will now be used for all nations (however, some changes have been proposed based upon industrialization) LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:54, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Algorithm Results and Moderator Revolts
The new equation for gains from war algorithms is (p)*(1-1/(2x)), where x is the number of the years the war goes on and p is the amount of territory determined by the algorithm ((y/(z+y))*2)-1 where y is the winner's score and z is the losers). So if your war lasts one year, you only get 50% of the territory, but if you let the war last five years, you get 90% of the territory.

For mod rebellions or rebellions for new players who want to join, a specific area will be selected. For new players, it has to be a specific ethnic, regional, or national area, but for mod rebellions it will depend on the situation (i.e. for homogenous countries). The algorithm will continue normally, except the territory "owned" by the rebellion will equal half the disputed territory. If the war is a tie, the rebellious country may choose territory from 1/2 of the disputed area.

Stability vote
Since the table is still not up, though its been promised for months, and since whenever Scandinator does promise a deadline, he partially fills the table up and then abandons it for weeks on end to become outdated, I have come to the conclusion he will never get it done, and thus the stability system will never work. Since whenever I attempt to simply bring this up he always makes excuse after excuse and delays for month after month, I am hearby just going to bring forward the motion to a vote to go back to the old system, which we could find out own stability and did not require all algorithms to wait for one player to come up with a number which we have no way to verify whether it is true or not. Voting will end this time tomorrow. LurkerLordB (Talk) 22:33, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

You sicken me! CrimsonAssassin 16:01, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

The Thing is that Population and industrialisation, one of the greatest factors in warat this point in history, will not be taken into account,so add some sort of bonus in the algorithm(like a populaiton ratio bonus(10:1 ratio, nation with more gets 10 point bonus), and some sort of industry bonus, Scan is taking too long, and return to the old table or system would be easier. -Lx (leave me a message) 16:27, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

The old stability system factored in population (the equation used the years of the government's existance and the digits in the population as variables). For the industrialization thing, if you can think of a bonus, you can propose it. LurkerLordB (Talk) 21:52, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Oh right, I forgot about eh multiplication that we got rid of. For industry, perhaps we could have the stage of industrialization, multiplied by the poplation ratio to get a bonus, or simply the industrial stage(or difference between industrial stages)Squared as a bonus-Lx (leave me a message) 01:39, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

or if they are equal, the industrial stage squared+the difference in years worked on industry(railways, telegraph systems, factories, industrial tech, etc...) in the past 10 between the warring nations(up to a 5 point bonus), making the maximum industrial bonus 21(4*4+5), and the lowest right now is 9(3*3+0)-Lx (leave me a message) 01:44, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Well, 24 hours have passed, and everyone is either in agreement or hasn't voted. Therefore, I hearby declare the new system null and void and a return to the stability curve hearby in effect. Lx, you should make a new section for "Industrialization Stability/Algorithm bonus" where we can discuss new ideas for that. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:48, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Industrialization bonus for war
For industry, perhaps we could have the stage of industrialization, multiplied by the poplation ratio to get a bonus, or simply the industrial stage(or difference between industrial stages)Squared as a bonus

or if they are equal, the industrial stage squared+the difference in years worked on industry(railways, telegraph systems, factories, industrial tech, etc...) in the past 10 between the warring nations(up to a 5 point bonus), making the maximum industrial bonus 21(4*4+5), and the lowest right now is 9(3*3+0), or we could just use the difference for all of the ones(not only if there is a -Lx (leave me a message) 14:14, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Thoughts? I guess I can make this a vote.

Discussion
I think that this only may be used by wars among player nations.A example of what might happen is if hypothetically, Russia, after updating their industry or similars for five consecutive years tries to invade the southern Shwaili state.given that the AI didn 't post, we will have to put their number of updates a 0. their bonus scores then become like this: SSS: (1x1+0)/R: (3x3+5).- SS: 1/R:14. This, if done correctly, can give a big advantage over industrially weaker states, specially if they are AI.somebody remembers when we used larger numbers for stability, the player nations came to have larger stability numbers than what could ever be acheived by a AI, and then we procceeded to invade such nations (Mameluks, Ottomans, Inca, Hafsids, maybe others). to avoid this to happen again, i think that we should use this bonus for wars among player nations, and not AI-plaayer nations, as i said before.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 16:50, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Or we can use a different system for the AI, and have their color be the Industry, but remember, in history, the European States dominated because of their Industrial Power, and the fact that the industrial armies of The Brittish and the french went up against the industrialy and technologicaly weaker nodal/nomadic states.

I know both nations have vassals and allies and whatnot, but none have posted that they are entering thus far from what I can see, so add them yourselves.

Old Russian colonies support france because they have to. Russians dont realy like it though, but the fracturing party after Mehseryakov's demise will not be good to Charles-Louis in the end.

The French took control of all newfoundland up to Saglek Bay.

This wasn't supose to anyone to take any territory, in fact, I wasn't even planning to use algorithms until you create one. The Franco-russian union will fall, but I don't know what to say about the rest. I would like to have Furanchesou, but, if I must give you a part of Haiti, I prefer it the way it is. If you want territory, you can take it over, is your right, you made an algorithm, but you can't demand any territory from Russia. --Galaguerra1 03:59, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Nippon's vassals & puppets I don't think would get involved as they are only really leaning towards this side because Nippon is forcing them. The Commonwealth won't be participating in the war on either side too. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 15:16, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

I will agree to witdraw all territorial claims, and the world returns to satus quo ante bellum. I still insist that the Franco-Russian-Italian union be dissolved, at which time I will sell Furansuchou to the post-Imperialist Frech regime.

I already agreed with Galaguerra that the Italian portion, at least, would become free very soon after the war (this basically means all pre-war European Neapolitan territory, plus Tunisia and Pahang).

No. The entire French side is on the verge of collapsing into revolutions and smaller states, there's no way they could win, especially since with all the people withdrawing the algorithm difference will become huge. LurkerLordB (Talk) 00:32, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

But Persia can keep control of Vicia, since I never really had anything to do with it. You can say the Incan remnant of the population decided they liked the Persians better than the Neapolitans. They'll still be heavily Catholic though. LurkerLordB (Talk) 00:35, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

Please note that my current Shogun is a bit of a tyrant, he's going to be on the French side and try carving out an even larger Nipponese empire by attacking Sweden in the South Pacific, Vietnam's Taiwan & New Lithuanian vassals (as well as blockading the straights of Malacca to stop Vietnamese aid reaching Europe), and Brunei too. However eventually Shogun Iemochi will be overthrown in a coup by the pro-emperor politicians and clans. There will then be a civil war very similar to OTL Boshin War, and the pro-emperor people will set up a new provincial government to rule Nippon until the civil war is over. The Tokugawa forces will be forced into retreat to Kamochatoka, where they will stay for a while, supplied by their Russian allies; but will fall when the Russians stop supplying them.

Scramble for Africa
Songonese scientists are coming in with breakthroughs with cinchona bark (native to OTL Ecuador) as treatment for malaria. As in OTL, this will be one of the main factors to kickstart the exploration and conquest of the interior of Africa. The technology shall become widespread and ready for use throughout the Americas in 1871. The technology is free to use by any European power or colony in 1875, and it is ready to use anywhere else by 1880. Thus, expansion in tropical or marshy areas will be multiplied by 1.5 until otherwise decided.

However, keep in mind that in order for the 1.5 multiplier to apply, you cannot create major settlements except along the coast (i.e. Mozambique, Senegal, etc.) —this is known as indirect rule, for the purposes of our game. This keeps the culture of the interior intact. If you wish to create settlements in the interior (i.e. South Africa), the 1.5 can not apply —this is called direct rule. You cannot mix and match.

More information: if your technological level does not include steamships, then you cannot benefit from the 1.5 multiplier. Also, you are advised to stay along major bodies of water. There is a reason why areas with major rivers were the most sought after in OTL. Do your research!

Make decisions wisely and let the Scramble Begin! Detectivekenny (Info; Talk) 03:06, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

I see no reason why Europe should be allowed to start 5 years early, as many East Asian nations, such as China and Vietnam, have huge colonial empires as well.

Contrast that with the Northern African colonies, New Songhai, the South African colonies. I'm saying at most Vietnam will also be included but not Nippon, China, Bharat, Persia and Korea; nations which have not ever expressed interest in Africa and have been more focused on the Americas till now. Maybe they can get a South/North America bonus? NOTE: Sweden has no interest in Africa at this point in time so this comment is on a neutral base.

Notice its the players with EUROPEAN nations opposing changing this? And so what if you haven't had a colony in Africa for a long time? You could say that every time someone sets up a new colony somewhere different. Giving the bonus to just European nations is just biased; I mean are you saying that one of the small German states or Balkan nations has more of an advantage/right than China, Vietnam, Nippon or Bharat in colonizing Africa? The bonus should be based on industrialization or strength of nation: after all not every European country in OTL had African colonies --VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 15:52, April 19, 2012 (UTC).

Sweden cannot take any territory from Russia unless LxCaucassus agrees, as the algorithm was between Vietnam and France, and thus, only France can be forced to lose any territory.

That colony is Russian. Lx you need to pay more attention. Its the one in the Andes. Scandinator (talk) 00:17, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Ou yay! then send all of Russian Vassals and stuff to the aid, and the Colonies dont have much choice, thats Novorossiya, South Africa, Poland-Lithuania-Belarus(personal Union), Kazakhstan, The Iroquois and Armenia. That Sould do it. that would be 13 extra points, I guess...and if its in the Andes, I am pretty sure that it would count as High ground(becasue of the andes mountains being incredibly high), bit Heck, I'm not an expert about the geography of south America. Also, If a colony is being attacked, then I would assume its life or death, and the attacker would not get the Life or death motive(I know I tried to do this, but every time I declred war on Poland its because the throne of Lithuania was "Claimed" by poland...I know that' no better, but every time It was reduced to political motive, so this should not be an exception).-Lx (leave me a message) 00:21, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

and BTW, where is ONguayal anyways? I thought that colony was french...We were the same colour...and If I did get it its probablhy becasue of a tach or land trade, I did not establish any colonies, and did not aid in the war against Hanthawaddy, so...I did not think its mine...-Lx (leave me a message) 00:28, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Onguayal is the country which is in the Bharati colour (although I think that is wrong as it is a semi-independent state). I think it is the French colony (sorry Gal, but I really need a link to the sea), because that is what Gal told me and so did Lx. :/ Imperium Guy 07:30, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

I'l sell you the southern outlet to the sea, but I want to keep most of that land. I've worked hard to expand that colony, and you passed through mine, took the country I was planning to invade (Onguayal) without asking me, and then attacked me when I jsut helped you to obtain that land and didn't protest when you took it. I want at least make all that effot worth and keep most of the land. You'll have an outle to the sea and a way to expand south. --Galaguerra1 17:43, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

When you put it that way, it makes me feel bad. I will agree to your request, but on three conditions (the latter two are silly): I get the southern potion of the colony as shown on the map, cricket is made your official sport and you alert Bharat when you invade Aisac-Loirenne, so we can send you all the supprot we can muster. I think the conditions are not bad and although I might take quite a bit from your colony, you have to see I agreed to negociate and you retain the northern portion of you colony (I would have won otherwise). :/ Imperium Guy 17:59, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

O.o, sorry, I might have exagerated. I accept your terms. The next decade I will probably invade Rhineland, so I'll make you know.

The dark
It is 1880 and based on current colonization speeds by 2012 we will still have "unexplored" areas. I'm saying we really need to speed up all colonization. Scandinator (talk) 01:12, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

I agree, I'm having Dravidia expand Kongo as fast as I can into the Congo basin area, but otherwise much of Africa and parts of South America will still be "unclaimed". LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:38, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Here is my proposal: we have a African, South American,and Australian division conference for the next two turns after this one (1881 and 1882), in which the black areas are divided up. After which, colonial expansion within a nation's colonial claims from the conferences are not bound by colonial expansion, only by plausibility (like normal expansion). Also, expansion within grey areas within Africa and South America are still limited by the colonial expansion, but are treated as if they were black. Expansion in areas not claimed by your nation, and grey areas not in Africa or South America, would still follow the standard colonial expansion equation. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:47, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

North America? I propose Hungary hosts it as it is in a central location. Scandinator (talk) 08:35, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

If we have two positions, then one of the conferences should be solely for Africa and one for solely South America. Thoughts? :D Imperium Guy 11:05, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

No, Hungary accepts the part of host. explaining the recent events: i was thinking on a way to get Serbia to be independent, as i said that some nation would break off of Hungary in this century.as you know, is Serbia.i got to the conclusion that it will be promoted to a autonomous government on the model of Itsaygahi, but it later, will declare independence.the Albanian movement already stagnated, and will stay like this for some time, but by the time that this emnds, Serbia, Diocleia and Albania wll become something like autonomous provinces, on the way that you saw in Itsaygahi/Tsalagi. eventually, Serbia declares independence, and annexes Diocleia.Albania stays like this until the decolonization proccess begins, when the province will lose importance, and in some time, will also declare independence.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 16:00, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, ok. i think that was me misreading it. But beware, I how have the oppotunity to establish 2 more colonies, so I will be establishing them. It just depends on what areas of Africa I could colonize. :D Imperium Guy 17:37, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

I got it. Maybe by the 1890's, we can establish one colony per year and expand them in rates like 1000000x1000000 sq. mi. or other stuff. RandomWriterGuy 22:40, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

 * Well in OTL, nations had many colonies. Why can't we do the same thing. RandomWriterGuy 14:01, April 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Then we are going to need new rules for expansion. and your proposal, concerning size of expansion, is way off.in one year you could expand one trillion square miles, according to your calculation.this is impossible, even in real life.if you disregard the multiplication, and expand one 1 million square miles, in 10 years, you could annex more territory that the Mongol Empire ever held at it's peak.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 17:18, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

Recent German moderator events
I crossed out Scandinator's recent German moderator events, due to the fact that they are implausible, potentially biased, and another moderator agreed. Here, I am stating my reasons for crossing out this event, as I feel moderator events should only be removed if a good reason is given.

Berlin and Silesia are rising nations, their governments would have the strong support of people who are grateful to be pulled out of decades of civil disarray. There is no way that they would suddenly just collapse and implode like that, since they had been doing so well and expanding for the past several years. The German people are tired of more than 40 years of civil war, anyone who wanted to pull them back into that chaos would have no support. It is clearly implausible

The reason I am bringing up the subject of bias is that, just after Scandinator makes a new German puppet state whose goal he clearly states is to reunite the German area, he has the few rival states which could unite large portions of that area collapse all of a sudden. To me, this implausible event seems to quite plainly be an opportunity for his German puppet state to suddenly swoop in and unite northern Germany. As he has shown a great interest in this area before, and there have been instances in the past of Scandinator being accused (by me) of misusing moderator powers in this area.

I personally think that it is unethical for moderators to be causing moderator events in areas which their nations are interested. If I had posted the event in which Itsaygahi broke apart, and then the very next turn launched a major attack from one of my nations into Itsaygahi, it would clearly have been me using my moderator powers to weaken my foe. If I had caused the Kongo nation to suddenly implode and go black on the map, right before I established my Dravidian colony there, I would have clearly been misusing my moderator powers. Unless the event is historical (like a natural disaster), no moderator should use moderator events to weaken areas in which one of their nations is attempting to expand in, especially if said event is implausible. To do so is unethical. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:37, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

This actually kind of reminds me of the Persian unrest incident. I mean, Scan cannot do it without evidence. In fact, he put it all there without proof, just like right now. SHould we bar him from non-disaster mod events? RandomWriterGuy 01:41, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

However, as this is somewhat expanding into Brandenburgian claimed lands, they will pay Brandenburg a fee for this, and they will always help Neue Brandenburg in any wars if they are able and they will never fight against them.

USA:

 * Claims most of OTL Columbia

Finland

 * Finnish colony of Käwäshiro claims sliced parts of OTL Eastern Colombia, all of OTL Venezuela, and parts of OTL Brazil (that border Venezuela, and bit more into OTL Brazil itself but not too much, just more slices)

Onguayal

 * Onguayal claims will be for it and Manoa. It claims most of Northern and Western Brazil already not occupied.

Uruguay

 * All of OTL Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay which are still not occupied.

Hungary

 * Magyar Dél-Amerikaban:Territory of OTL Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Right to attack and conquer both Jê nations.

Persia

 * Most of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezula, and Colombia (not the places already claimed though).

Incan Colombin Republic

 * TRUE_BORDERS.png of OTL Brazil not occupied, but since no one has updated my borders for 5 decades+ now, i own at least 1/4 of unclaimed Brazil, I also claim the Incan homeland, which I doubt will be reatekn, but I do wish for the Vuzco region, a 20 mile radius around Cuzco extending to unclaimed Brazil. Here is the ICR's REAL BORDERS AS A RESULT OF OVER 60 YEARS OF EXPANSION and no one has updated them on the map, which is insulting.
 * Dean, 65,500 sq km is only 1310 pixels on the map. That is your true area, 1310 pixels. The one on the map would be like 1.5 million sq km. ~Imp

France

 * The coast between both hanthawaddian colonies, that little state near the japanese colony and an extension that allow the colony to have a border with the vassal of Onguayal.
 * That isn't a Nipponese colony anymore, it declared independence and is the USA, who have already claimed most of OTL Columbia, which includes that little state. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:29, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I knew it was independent, I don't know why I put "colony". Anyway then, I claim the territory until I reach that state, you can keep that.
 * Fine by me VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 10:50, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Vietnam

 * Vietnam's South America colony claims the territory of the three OTL Guyana colonies.
 * New Ruthenia (New Lithuania's South America colony)- a thick strip of territory from Vietnam's South America colony to Persia's.
 * New Tainan (Taiwan's South America colony)- The unnannexed area in between Uruguay and the Chinese Incan colony.
 * Are you talking about Fjordlaand? Thats a former Swedish colony.

Neue Brandenburg

 * All of northern OTL Brazil not already colonized (I would be willing to divide it with ICR, but I think native states should be able to get preferance over nations with a power base elsewhere).Zagoria 04:45, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Africa
Starting map for Africa. Please do not post new maps until it has been confirmed what your claims will be. The present condition of how Africa stands.

Dravidia

 * The Congo basin (OTL Democratic Republic of the Congo) plus having the sole rights to attack and conquer Ndongo (the nation to the South of Kongo) and the remains of the Kongo nation

Persia

 * Angola, Zambia, Southern Congo, Mozambique

Istoias

 * All of the island of OTL Madagascar.

Hungary

 * Namib: The territory between Namib and that southern gray nation (south of Ndongo), and the sole rights to attack and said gray nation.
 * Ezsák-Afrika: all the territory separating Oroszlán (the colony located on OTL Sierra Leone) from that colony on OTL Guinea-Bissauan territory, and some territory on northern Mauritania.
 * Dél-Afrika: OTL Orange Free State and Transvaal, sole rights to attack and conquer Zululand and Lesotho.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 15:06, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Vietnam
Yank 18:22, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * East Africa- South Swahili kingdom, the various African states west of that kingdom, and the African nation directly west of Vietnam's East African colony as it stands today. As well as all the territory in between.
 * Kenia- Bale, Puntland, and the unclaimed OTL Eithiopian and Somali territory. Claims Eithiopia and Sennar as client states (will do so next turn).
 * New Samogita (New Lithuania's Africa colony)- OTL Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

Bharat

 * Bharat claims OTL Nigeria and Niger and the uncivilized land in the interior which no nation has managed to get their hands on.

Russia

 * South-West and South Africa, Kongo Nations.(south africa, nambia, botsawana, Angola(Unclaimed), West half of Dem. Rep. of Congo, westernmost Zambia
 * Dravidia already has a colony that has taken much of Kongo, and it is about to take over Ndongo. You can take the ones to the north, but not into the Congo basin.

France

 * The territory between Nouvelle-Gascogne and the korean colony in the south, and territory enough to expand the rest opf the swahili lands, the two african states that would border that territory, and a half of the state that has a coast in the Malawi Lake, and the west coast of that lake.
 * The six states in the north of Songhay, Akon would expand until it borders Guinée, and Ginée would absorb the six states east of it.
 * France-Bharat_Africa_Deal_(PM).pngBharat has already claimed the "6 state" area.
 * I'm not talking about that six states, I'm talking about the small ones near Songhay, the colony I already have there.
 * I think that is OTL Nigeria, and I have already claimed it. Looks at Bharat's claims for Africa.
 * I already ahve colonies in that territory, you don't, I think my claim is stronger. If you want a post there, may be I can give you the bigest state and some more land, around the size of OTL Cote d'Ivoire and Togo?
 * I already have a colony in the area. I have map to see if we both can agree on the borders.
 * You have a colony there? Then it msut be recent, as it doesn't show in the map. Anyway, I have two colonies, both old and with a long history, and a vassal, and historical claims in the region. Sya me what your current colony is and I'll make another map of my proposed borders.
 * Well, ou can ahve that you showed in the map, but the rest is mine (France, Caliphate or Seminole), as I claimed above.

Spain

 * Spain claims OTL Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Morocco

Seminole

 * The state that was formed fromt he former itsaygahian colony and vassals would beocme a seminole protectorate.

Arabia

 * Adal will absorb the former UAA states, and expand until it borders the big state south of Egypt (if Egypt doesn't claims it, then I'll absorb it) and Kenia.
 * Absorb is probably not the right term to use, since Ethiopia Senar, and Bale are very anti-Islamist and won't go down without a full-out war.
 * Ok, "absorb" isn't the right term, but I still claim those lands.
 * I'm thinking on making Ethiopia proper a vassal. i didn't claimed here because i didn't had a idea of how to put it here.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 07:14, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * And do you think that Vietnam will allow Adal to touch their client state? They'd sooner start a war than allow that.
 * You claim the unclaimed somalian territory and Puntland, so you'd be bordering Adal anyway, your objection doesn't make sense. I have been more time in that lands, and, from the three of us, I'm the one who has dedicated more time into the state I have there. Egypt hardly makes any move, and Kenia isn't that old as vassal of Vietnam. I've always worked hard in the Caliphate and its policy, so it is a more developed antion than Egypt or Kenia, and colonial expansionist, so it makes sense to me that they be the ones who take that lands.
 * To be fair, both Ethiopia and Bale and Sennar will much greatly favor Vietnam than the Caliphate, as they hate Muslims. Furthermore, Vietnam has already shown interest in Bale, which your nation hasn't. Also, Galaguerra, you are lying about the situation, as Kenia was a Vietnam vassal for many years prior to the Arabians vassalizing Adal, and Kenia has been expanding a great deal, so you cannot say they are not expansionist. Vietnam also made their claims first in this conference. All of my nations are going to back Vietnam in this conference because they clearly have a stronger claim in this area.
 * Bale is a former UAA state? I really thought it was the southern swahili kingdom that you wanted. In any way, I wasn't talikng about Adal's influence in the region, as I have been trying to influenciate the reigon since the UAA's fall, and also when the UAA existed, spreading muslim propaganda when it was in disarray. If you want so much that lands, then we just divide them, the north state for me, the southern for you, and we split the two in halfway. There's still th eproblem that they hate muslims, but are the governments. I rembemr one of those states was a persian vassal (I think), and their neighboors of the muslim sphere of influence, so at least there msut be a muslim faction in them.
 * None of those states was a Persian vassal. Ethiopia was mostly Ethiopian Orthodox save for a Schmittist minority which was destroyed and driven away. Any Muslims would have fled too Makuria and Sudan (which Makuria defeated and absorbed) were Muslim mostly, and any Christians were converted or fled. Sennar was part Muslim and part Christian, the Muslim part joined Makuria and the Christian part is independent, any minorities in those areas switched halves. Bale followed traditional religions when they first got absorbed by the UAA, and then were converted to Christian. Adal was Muslim, and Puntland is.
 * Fine, keep it, but then I'll keep the black territory in OTL Ethiopia and the two states on Somalia (ones is puntland, what is the other?)
 * The small one is called Aden, it was half Yemenese, half Ethiopian.
 * Algeria will expand until it border Morocco and absorbs the four states not absorbed by France, so I let space enough to Canariae to expand, at least he wants not to expand (If he doesn't wants that territory, I'll take it).
 * Which ones? there are nine states there:Wolof, Jennes, North Timbuktu, South Timbuktu, Timbuktu, Gao, and another state bordering it, Takrur, and East Takrur.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 10:06, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * The ones which border that little state in civil disarray.
 * Then there is Ashanti, Gao, Jennes and Wolof.
 * Libya will expand to absorb the two remaining west africans tates until it reaches the border of the current hanthawaddian colony and all in rect line.
 * Nouvelle-Patagonie will keep its current size, except there's any unclaimed territory availible to be claimed.

Brunei

 * OTL Mauritius, Reunion, and the Seychelles.

Neue Brandenburg

 * Part of OTL Namibia (note, I already have a small colony there). However, I would be willing to trade my claim (and colony) to other nations in return for territory/technology/trading arrangements.

If were discussing this again, I'd like to say that Finland has the same claims as in the Rotterdam Conference (and this also extends to the Shogunate of Kōshi, they claim all of the OTL Sulawesi island and small islands around and off the Sulawesi Island) -Kogasa 13:54, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

The Persian colony I think is Bharati as I think it might have been conquered. The two states are aboriginal but should be under Bharati influence as we helped create them (read Hindustan and Naya Bharat posts for up to around 20 years into the past to see what I mean). The two states will also expand but will only take up a bit of extra area from the Empire of Australia, not much. :D Imperium Guy 14:50, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

Also sweden was not able to take part in the St Petersburg Conference due to a state of war between Russia and Sweden.

Editing past turns
Seriously everyone, if there is a new turn up, edit that one instead. There will always be an active turn at the bottom of the page, so you should never have to edit a past turn. I'm sorry if you like going at the very end so you can reply to everyone, but you know, someone has to go first, and you can reply to the events at the beginning of the next turn. I'm just going to start to undo edits to past turns other than moderators cancelling some implausibility we missed or someone fixing spelling. Again, to repeat, there will never be a situation in which there is not an active turn at the bottom of the page. LurkerLordB (Talk) 23:28, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

How this started?--Collie Kaltenbrunner 15:45, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

This started in 1883. I invaded Persia to rid it of the Capilate and protect the eastern hindus. Imperium Guy 07:54, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

Should Persia be counted as the leader? I mean, they're jsut surrendering to Bharat, is the Caliphate which is fighting to keep the country in the union. Maybe this should be treated like the swedish succession war, so I have the help of the muslim factions and Bharat has the help of the hindu factions in Persia. If Bharat wins, I'd like to keep the muslim part of Persia, as it wuld be too hard to control for the hindu government anyway. It could become a vassal of mine or just be still controled by RWG, so he'd control two persian states, the one in union with Bharat, and the one in union with the Caliphate. --Galaguerra1 16:50, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Well, here is what I will get from Persia. I will annex the eastern portion and have a puppet government while you keep the western portion as they are too fundamentalist to convert. I think RWG have a hard time editing two Persias, lol. :D Imperium Guy 20:16, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

There's only one thing that Vietnam wants. They want to annex Adal and the unclaimed areas in between to Kenia. They have no other territorial ambitions.

Yank 22:18, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

This sin't a war agains thte Caliphate, but Persia. This isn't even an algorithmic war as RWG already decided that Bharat was going to win. I should keep Yemen as a vassal of my own as they are surely muslims. --Galaguerra1 03:20, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

If RWG wants me to win, then I think I'll get all of Persia and push the Capilate out in its entirety. :P Imperium Guy 07:54, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

But its implausible. Persia would break into muslim rebellions. Is best to give me the muslim lands (at least the oens you can disregard). About the religious and cultural policy, RWG hasn't done anything in the game but implausibilities. I hope he's wise enough to give me this. --Galaguerra1 17:20, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

There should be consequences for every nation fighting on the losing side.

Yank 20:10, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Yank. :/ Imperium Guy 21:20, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

That's not how the system works. We must do the most plausible thing, and I still think that this is gonna be troubeling for Persia in general. I've already lost this war, I have no problem while I don't lose any land (or claiming), I just think that the most plausible thing is to give me that territory. --Galaguerra1 21:37, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

If all of Persia joins Bharat, large portions of it will break away in moderator revolts. LurkerLordB (Talk) 22:02, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

I have changed my government. These problems should not occur. Also, Persia is not fighting Bharat. They are trying to rid of themselves from the union. It should be the Calpihate Bharat should be declaring war on! RandomWriterGuy 23:19, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

I've asked for peace, and also offered a way out from the colonization problem with Vietnam. I hope we can be in peace now. But, RWG, I must say that have a liberal government won't do anything but turn the things worst, as the muslims (still a majority) are fundamentalists. I suggest you to create an independent country, that would be fundamentalist, but still under your control (not like a vassal, but like the way we control our former coloneis in America that are now independent), and a small state in the province of Kashimir that would remain in union with Bharat. That's the only way you won't lose territory.--Galaguerra1 01:27, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

RWG, you could have your government at the highest stability it could be at and having such a large fundamentalist Muslim area falling under a very strongly Hindu government would result in revolts. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:36, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

I am willing to give the Capilate the western portion of Persia to keep in their dynastical union while the eastern will become part of Bharat in a dynastical union as well. There map here says how Persia will turn out. West Persia will become a muslim state while east Persia will become a hindu state. Deal? Imperium Guy 11:55, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

I'd agree. though you should talk RWG about this, as you're planning to take territory not just as a union, but directly, form Persia. --Galaguerra1 16:32, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Being split is really the only option for Persia at this point I'm afraid, they have a huge religious divide at this point. LurkerLordB (Talk) 21:16, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

So does this go through? :/ Imperium Guy 21:30, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

I am not agreeing with all of this! No divided country at all! I will give Hindus equqal rights so that the split does not occur! RandomWriterGuy 22:05, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Your nation is quite literally in civil war over religion right now, they aren't going to trust each other to stay united. If you had posted something in response to other people's posts and not ignoring them, a problem of yours that you need to address, then you could have given one side a major advantage. Perhaps, if you only give up some territories to Bharat (like half of what would break away), you could keep control if you didn't join with the Caliphate (or, vise versa, give the caliphate a few territories and then manage to keep control of the rest of your nation if you didn't have Dynastic union with Bharat) but jumping between dynasties of opposing religions creates this sort of situation. LurkerLordB (Talk) 22:13, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

How about giving Hindus some rights then? RandomWriterGuy 23:04, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

RWG, don't you understand? This is not gonna fix by gicing the people rights. There's a wa rin Persia on religious fundamentalism, and the fundamentalist know as much about "rights" as the ancient spartans knew about democracy. This is the only option. You accept the splitting of your country and keep controling the two parts, but separated (one in union with Bharat, the other one in union with the Caliphate), or the moderators begin splitting your country into several warlordships and Imperium and me invade the rest to tkae as much land as we can from Persia. --Galaguerra1 02:39, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

FINE. By the time you agreed to a split, I wasn't even here. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TOLD ME THIS EARLIER?! OMG! NOW YOU GOT ME INTO BIG TROUBLE! I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS! RandomWriterGuy 04:29, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

They were stating that there were becoming more and more Hindus in the East while the West was becoming more and more fundamentalist Muslim for years and years. The fact that you ignore other peoples' posts in this game is your own fault. LurkerLordB (Talk) 10:43, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

I was aware of the Hiindu conversion! I did not think what the result would be! RandomWriterGuy 23:37, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

How will the persian colonies be divided? Vicia is mostly catholic, and, as Imperium hasn't sent missionaries to the colonies, I supose the amazonia one is muslim, or russian cothodox (if established during the time in which Persia was ruled by an orthodox Shah). The former hanthawaddian colony must be of some eastern religion. Yemen is obviously muslim, so it remains in union with the Caliphate. The persian australian colony is close enoguh to the bharati colony to be influenciated from it, so is probably hindu or at least will subject to a conquest.--Galaguerra1 17:19, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Kazakh Revolt discussion (moved from main page)
I am very pleased to see that this is what I had an edit conflict with...and I mean that in a very sarcastic way. I try to post my response only for it to be in an edit conflict with "russia has more revolts becasue we did not respond to kazakhstan!" I come on to try to fix the kazakhstan thing(they were a seperate nation that I let do anything they wanted and treated very good, i dont understand why they would protest in the first place, especialy with much "russia is good" propaganda everywhere, also with the troops they send consisting almost always of volunteers), and my edit is in conflict with other minorities, to witch I have granted many rights, to come out in protest. that make no sense, especialy since russia has a very good track record of not having many protests or revolts in russia(during this time frame, there were only 3 major ones as i recall, 1905 revolution(witch was becasue everyone wanted contitution), the revolutioin of 1917 and the small pugachev insident. -Lx

You didn't respond for three turns to the Kazahk revolts, not counting the time you responded after the turn was up. In any case, your current edit was done past the time, and as was announced on the talk page, I am going to start enforcing this rule. You had several turns before this to protest any implausibility or unfairness of the revolts. Furthermore, multiple nations have been encouraging revolts and sending propaganda into Kazahkstan The event stands, and your late post has been deleted as per the rules and the announcement. If you are on the wiki now, why are you not editting this turn, as it is currently active? -LLB

I dont realy like editing before mod events becasue I want to react to them, and I dislike missing turns. And My post was in edit conflict with a mod event. simple. I assume that by this time tommorow, there will be a mod event for the turn, so that I can edit, this one happened to be early. that is one reason i edit later, i cant realy go on untill perhaps 7:30 or 8:00 most of the time for extended periods of time and i want to reply ot mod events, that dont usualy get posted at the begining. I gave powers to the Governates of russia, I gave them power over ceratin aspects of eduction(language) and culture, what else do you want me to do???? massacre them to instill fearful obediance??? from my 1880 post(the first mention of kazakh minor revolts):"Russia sends out anti-Persian-union Propaganda and propaganda that views the russians as the harbingers of freedom and democracy to the people of Kazakhstan, with the small price of having to support russia's military at all costs." I did respond to the situation, and in 1883 felt the need to remind that I actualy did respond to the situation. -Lx

'''Generally, I put up events soon after or with the heading. You should edit whatever turn is active at the time. If Scandinator puts up some event later than the main ones come up, you could always respond the next turn (before the next wave of moderator events come up, so I'd see your response below and factor that in). Just because Kazakhstan revolted now doesn't mean that war is the only option, if you send counter-propaganda you could probably cause people who are Christian or moderate Muslim or otherwise Russified to revolt from the Kazakhs and regain part of Kazakhstan, at least the northern half -LLB'''

Look, I gave them the south in my other post that got deleted. I already got into a rythm of at around 8-10(1-3 hours after UTC 00:00 depending on the DST) to edit because mod events werent always posted right when the year started, and generaly, that was the leniancy with witch you were able since when i started playing, it will probably take a week or so to ajust. and I wouldnt think that the no edit would be this "nothing after 00:00" and whoever posted the mod event where large scale revolts happened, "they will fight to the death" kind of implied that if I dont go to war, they will seperate, so it was in a way implied that war was the only option. I dont want to leave the things I edited for this turn, and, please, just put this stuff in the talk page so that it doesnt clutter up the space where people post their turns...i dont want them to be dragged into my issues. -Lx

They swear they will fight to the death, but that doesn't mean that they all will be unified. You can keep your post this one time, and I will be more lenient this week as long as your posts don't contradict anything posted. -LLB

Scandinator's Actions
This must be the fifth or more time in which I have been forced to bring up Scandinator's actions upon this talk page. I swear, that one way or another, this conflict ends now. Although this is sparked by Scandinator's recent actions, this has been a distrubing trend I have noticed across this entire game. Scandinator controls other peoples' nations, controls NPC nations, creates moderator events, abuses his multiple nation set-up with freed colonies, and is generally implausible for a sole purpose: to seize territory. Only three players have ever been suspended off of the entire wiki for their actions in this game, and Scandinator is one of them, again, because he was trying to seize more territory than plausible and not cooperating with other players to do so.

Recent instances: As can be seen, Scandinator has abused his moderator powers, his multiple nations, and he has been implausible and controlled other nations in his quest to gain a gigantic empire. I do not want this turning out like Imperial Europe 2, where he was given free rein. Thus, I am going to have Germany and Finland revolt from Sweden due to the fact that his recent violations were concentrated in those two years. This is plausible, as mironationalism is on the rise in Eurasia, and Russia has sent propaganda into these areas in attempts to turn them against Sweden.
 * Controlling Finland, a nation that belongs to another player, and having Sweden totally conquer it in a war in which Finland was not even the nation which would, by the algorithm, be forced to lose territory,
 * Controlling Russia, a nation that belongs to another player, and having the Russian military carry out the implausable genocide of 50% of the Finnish people.
 * His uncooperative behavior in the Constantinople conference, where he has demanded implausably large amounts of territory, attempted to seize claims established a century ago, and angrily attacking Lx for the past St. Petersburg conference. When confronted about this, he ignored my posts and responded in a mocking manner.
 * He ignored my moderator event in Germany which stated that Berlin was opposed to Swedish power to establish control over it without an algorithm, as has the entirety of his expansion into Germany been.
 * In the same vein, he earlier created implausable moderator events to try and destroy Berlin, obviously in an attempt to have his German puppet state take control over all of Germany.
 * His attempt to make a puppet state which just regained independence rejoin with its former nation, something that would never happen.

However, I do not feel that Scandinator can be trusted with a moderator position any longer. We cannot have a moderator whose posts have to be frequently crossed out due to implausibility or rules violations. We cannot have a moderator whose moderator events have repeatedly shown signs of bias. We cannot have a moderator who has brought the Wikia administration down upon this wiki. Thus, I now make a motion to remove Scandinator from his moderator position on this map game. Per precedent, Scandinator is not allowed to vote in this vote, and only moderators can vote (although normal users can comment in the discussion). LurkerLordB (Talk) 21:56, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Comments/Discussion (anyone)
If Scan does lose his moderation spot, I'd like to put myself forward as a candidate to be a new mod. I have previous experience in map game modding, am a TSPTF constable and most of my time at the moment on the Wikia is playing this game. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:32, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Well, Sweden is also compromised by a lot of other ethnic minorities too. Is it possible for them to revolt as well? RandomWriterGuy 23:36, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Yep it should be but that'd be a mod event. Also its a mod only vote RWG, its clearly stated above in the last paragraph of Lurk's explanation of why this is happening. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:46, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Currently I am limiting the revolts to areas where Scandinator has committed the violations. I expect that eventually in the future, Flanders and England will break free. LurkerLordB (Talk) 23:58, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

I dont think we need more mods, because If Scan is "demoted" to normal user, there will be 7 mods, and this will make it better becasue ther will always be a majority one way or the other if all the mods vote(in past games I have shown enthusiasm for odd numbers of moderators). -Lx (leave me a message) 02:09, May 4, 2012 (UTC

I quit. I'm in a highly stressful environment in real life and I dont need this crap after every thing I've done for PM. I could argue with you LLB but you only seem to see my bad side. Kogasa can take all the areas mapped in green. Germany MUST reunite. Flanders goes to France. England goes to Vietnam with the hope of uniting the British Isles. Denmark will be highly independent but maintains close ties with Germany. IEC and Asgard to vietnam/Taiwan. New Sweden to China. Fiji to Solomon Islands to Nippon. rest of Wonderlaand to Fjordlaand, which will rejoin the ICR. Tasmania to Spain. Thorlaand to Collie's Quebec nation. Hawaii to Joseon.

Also dont forget the anarchist movement in the 1890s to 1910s. I've helped to get you guys started. So long! Scandinator (talk) 08:13, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Also I will be starting a new map game in January. I have learnt a lot from PM and will create it without PM's flaws in the algorythms and colonial system.Scandinator (talk) 08:16, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Also IE2 was due to redmelldo's actions. He was going to take Europe in a few turns and I tried to match him and everything went out of control. It was also my early days on the wikia and there was no-one on the map game telling us it was implausable. Scandinator (talk) 08:22, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, i remember that before you and Remedello entered, the only person playing there was me, and by the time that you both entered, i already had gone inactive.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 20:50, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

If you would rather quit than admit that you have been playing unfairly, I cannot stop you Scandinator. However, you cannot demand that Germany reunite. Also, your division of your colonies is a bit implausable, the Alaskan ones would stay independent or would join Russia, they have no ties to Vietnam, and it is clear that you simply excluded Lx out of spite. Furthermore, if the ICR gains that amount of land, they will collapse into total civil disarray and be forced to withdraw. Since the vote is unanimous agaisnt you, you will be removed from your moderation position regardless of whether or not your ragequit is final. LurkerLordB (Talk) 15:27, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

yes, Especialy since that if sweden was on the verge of colapse, russia would go in and take the baltics, the Kola and Karelia(that is now part of Sweden, not FInland), and help create 4 Seperate Finno-Scandian States, Finland, Sweeden, Denmark, and Norway.

I am not ragequiting, I've just given up. Everyone seems against me and I just don't need such a drain on my time if I'm just going to get persecuted here. I had a load of plans including creating the USSR (Union of Scandinavian Socialist Republics) and have the famous Iron Curtain speech. Russia does need the land in Alaska, he'll just invade Kogasa's Finland portion and then Denmark. Vietnam was always close to Sweden. Scandinator (talk) 23:41, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

I was there, ready to stand firm against all opposition to support Sweden. I was building up a huge navy so that Sweden and Bharat together could dominate the high seas against the Russians. Come back, and I'll make sure that our domination goes ahead. Imperium Guy 13:04, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Map Issues strikes back
As specified above, the french southern outlet in the peruvian colony should be part of Onguayal. Persia's both aprts should be colorated as the countries the joined (or may be the Caliphate should be colorated brown, to distinguish from the rest of less important former french colonies). The southernmost mississipia state should be colorated light green,a s Isloque and Haiti are, as now is a puppet. Songhay and AKon should be united, as they're no longer a colony and a vasal, but a single colony. Libya and Algeria, as no more separated, should be also one. Yemen should be at the Caliphate's colour.

As far as I know, all of Madagascar's coast is now part of Istoias. --Galaguerra1 21:31, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

There's also the fact that "East" Persia needs to be recoloured in Bharat's colour as they are a Bharati vassal/client state. Also Sweden's Asgard colony has been annexed by Taiwan.

Expansion
Since he had so many conflicting claims and no one could make a map, I gave up on the claims idea and just posted a moderator event saying that expansion in all wild areas is now tripled (with expansion in the tropic wild areas still also recieves the additional 1.5 modifier as well) so that will hopefully allow us to create realistic colonial empires over the next two decades.

Spanish colonies of Australia (Bharat-Castille War)
Since Spain declared war on me for taking over its Australian colony ages ago, and since broke up, do I get its remainder Australian colonies? It declared war in 1887 and then broke up, so I don't know whether I need an algorithim to take over its colonies as I don't know if I need one against Castille. :/ Imperium Guy 13:11, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

I'll do an algorithim anyway to show how the war would end up. Imperium Guy 13:40, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Castille
Total: 38
 * Location: 1
 * Tactical Advantage: 0
 * Strength: Castille (L): 4

 * Stability: 25 (13.5^1.25/1.25^13.5*2.5*8)
 * Participation: 10

Result
Bharati victory. Bharat can take ((82/82+38)*2)-1=77% of Castillian territory at best. The war is going to last 2 years, so that makes (.77)*(1-1/(2*2))=58%, enough to topple the government and take its colonies. The remaining state goes to France in exchance for a French colony.

Wait, Onguayal is a vassal or a puppet? because if it is, then Manoa is a puppet, then you lose one point for each puppet state you have.at my calculations, you have three.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 16:00, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

And Collie, Onguayal is the one which can establish colonies (which reminds me...). But whats the difference? :/ Imperium Guy 21:26, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

That we estabilished some time ago, that you can have a unlimited number of puppet states, but you lose points on a algorythm for each one you have.I assume that Kerala and Orissa are puppets.if they are vassals, then Onguayal is a puppet.Manoa certainly will be counted as one.Either way, you will lose two or three points.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 06:19, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

I put V for each one, losing one point while two V's for Manoa cause its a vassal of a puppet. I think I kinda get what you mean and I will say Jaffna and Orissa are vassals of Bharat while Onguayal is under a puppet government but can merge with other nations and establish puppets. :D Imperium Guy 08:22, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

I have two solutions to this problem. Either Tangiers slowly converts them into Christians or they establish freedom of religion. I could have it that the Tangierans don't care as long as their Catholic faith remains undisturbed.

Bharat agrees to the sale of Castille to France and is happy to recieve portions of their colony. They however do not agree to the Capilate giving so much land and would like a fairer division. :/ Imperium Guy 17:59, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

THis is a colonial conference, is not fair. The Caliphate will receive that amount of land (except for Tangiers and Morocco), and I still don't think the moroccan could convert to christianism, as Tangiers is the catholic republic sorrounded by islammic fundamentalists. Freedom of religion seems to be the better thing, but there will still be people who dislikes this. I'll make a map. --Galaguerra1 21:00, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

I just want more land for Bharat, not anyone else. Please remember all nations act with their own interests at heart, not anyone else and there are very few expections (for me supporting Dravidia at all costs). Here is a map of what I want in the claims. :P Imperium Guy 21:25, May 13, 2012 (UTC)

I have had colonies in Africa for centuries now, and most people there is muslim and ethnicly influenced by the french. I have stronger claims, and I think is implausible that every country gets an equal part in such a partition. The Caliphate is imperialist, and while you have colonies almost everywhere, the Caliphate just has the algerian-libyan colony, that is older than any state that currently occupies India. The Caliphate just has the storngest claim on Africa, by culture, antiquity, influence, etc... Also, I assume you jsut didn't realize that, if we follow your map's proposition, the Caliphate would have no room to expand anymore and you would be free to keep colonizing all of Africa. --Galaguerra1 00:47, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

It would not be implausible to suggest that the long-lasting Vietnamese presence in part of Morocco could have resulted in large amounts of Christian converts in the rest, especially once the recent Spanish and Hungarian colonies are factored in. Meanwhile, the Caliphate already has a lot of room to expand in, it will be hard enough for them to take over all of that territory. Plus, they can always attack Darfur, and expand into the area south fo Egypt. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:44, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

I support the WWI. Something huge like this would be great. Doctor261  (Talk to Doctor261) 14:23, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Of course, due to the alliance system, half of the wars between player nations have become Worldwide wars already. We had several problems with colonization:
 * 1) We should have given European/Asian/African nations a huge bonus when first colonizing the Americas due to the diseases
 * 2) We should have not tied expansion to the number of colonies, as this made it so nations would have lots of small colonies instead of a few large ones.
 * 3) We should have given larger bonuses than the ones given, *1.5 does barely anything, *15 would have been better.
 * 4) We should not have had so many NPC nations randomly appear in South America and Africa, as that just increased the difficulty of expansion

LurkerLordB (Talk) 15:19, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with the fourth, first and second.this c ould be done from 1540 on, but only in North America, true, and not only appeared nations (the inland Namibian nations, Muisca, Ge nations, the lakes nation), but they also expanded out of control (such as Manoa and Onguayal), some came out on the wrong place (Zululand).However, i disagree with the third.is already difficult to keep up updating such numbers with all those bonuses, a "multiplication by 15" bonus would make mapmaking impossible.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 17:15, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Well, expansion will generally spped up after 1910... :/ Imperium Guy 16:12, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

A good solution in other map games would be to have colonial expansion be tied to the time a nation has owned the colony, so older colonies can expand faster. A slight increase in expansion rates would help as well, as would huge bonuses for colonizing the Americas and large bonuses starting in 1870 (larger than just the *1.5 thing). An additional problem with the colony number thing was that if a nation gave any of its colonies independence, it sacrificed colonial growth. Quite honestly, the number of colonies would not matter at all in real life. LurkerLordB (Talk) 16:25, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Or maybe China, as they are collapsing presently. Ethiopia has fallen quite a bit too, but it's been too long for anything to arise from them. Hanthawaddy restabilized as Bengal too short a time ago. Spain has been divided and humiliated, but they seem too weak to do any damage. Same for the remnants of Turkey currently being ruled over by Greece.

Also I have a map of about 1450 I made for another game, which can easily have a few things changed to be 1450 in real life. LurkerLordB (Talk) 17:11, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with only making it after this one is complete.--Collie Kaltenbrunner 17:16, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

OK, I have a map, I only have a few questions first: LurkerLordB (Talk) 18:00, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) How should city-states or small states be portrayed? Nations like the Mayas, the Irish, and the Swahili are not unified nations, but are "civilized". Currently I have them the same as civil disarray, but I want to know if they should be kept as the dark grey, made black (like other tribes), or given some other designation.
 * 2) Should there be labels on the main map? Currently I have labels, but I could make a version labelless if needed. Labels do look messy and can interfere with coastlines, but currently we have a lot of "X nation invades the small country under it". Should we have both labelled and unlabelled versions (labelled being updated less frequently)?
 * 3) (assuming that we will have a labelled version) Should major unorganized tribes have labels on the map?
 * 4) What constitutes an organized, developed nation or small states? Would the various North American natives be counted, or not?

Definitely, though I am debating whether to be China or England.

I will be Korea again, and I won't let my colonial empire be taken apart by *others* cough cough Vietnam hehe. PitaKang- (Talk | Contribs) 19:58, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to play as Venice, England or even some spanish or arabian state like Castille or Aragon. I think not-unified nations should ave a different border than unified nations and colonies, so we disitnguish them. On alabelled map, we should put the name of major uncivilized tribes to make them "civilizable and playable". Obviously a developed nation is a group of peoples that have somehow a centralized system. The european nations have mostly king and comon institutions. Others like the irish just have periodic alliances during time of crisis. Others, like the League of Mayapan, the mpauche Wallmapu, some asian khanates, are simply permanent or periodic confederations of civilzied tribes that unify under a common institution of even a person during times of crisis. May be not-confederated but civilized tribes should be distinguished from the confederated ones. Such as the League of Mayapan should be distinguished from the rest of not-unified maya tribes.--Galaguerra1 21:55, May 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * So what should the difference be between Civil Disarray, Loose Confederations, Civilized Tribes, City-States, etc.? Specifically. LurkerLordB (Talk) 22:05, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll have fun with Making the Novgorodian State dominate moscow in this new one.-Lx (leave me a message) 22:20, May 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes I would love to Play a Second Principia, Im sad I missed out on all the fun.-Althistoryman11


 * A state in civil disarray is that state that is, in theory, organized, but in civil war, as warlords are struggling for the dominion; Africa is full of examples, a state in civil war would be the same, a state in a succesion war, a state with a provisional unestable government. A confederation is a group of tribes that unite in case of war or share some common institution, like a parliament, and example is the Rouran Khanate in Asia, the mapuche Wallmapu in South America, maybe the Iroquois Confederacy even. City-states and civilized tribes are cgroups of people that are culturaly and ethnicly alike, but are not confederated, usually they have conflcit with each other, the difference is that; while tribes are contered in a cultural core (tribe, family, clan, etc...) and primitive; city-state are just organized states, but smaller, and centered around a geographical/political core, and they have an orgnaized government, a capital and could have colonies and form city-state confederations (like the Aetolian League in OTL Greece). --Galaguerra1 01:12, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * But how would they be on the map? (currently Confederations are marked the same as unified nation-states, and city-states and civil disarray are the same). LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:32, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe different borders. Confederaitons wouldm have a blue borde ror something like that and the city-states and tribes would have golden borders? I don't know, something like that whould work. --Galaguerra1 01:37, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Different borders worked for colonies here, that is true. The unsettled tribes I currently just have as their names in the middle of the black areas. I'll upload the current map as it stands, for 1450.
 * Principia_Moderni_2_1450.png added Manoa and Onguayal for tradition's sake, the first moderator event can be made by them.
 * Also, I suggest we use the format of this game, instead of the Fractured America format that almost all other games currently use, simply because it annoys me. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:43, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * In fact I've invented a system that I think would work, be cause so many times I've seen people arguing about who invented what weapon, or that obtain 500 thousand kilos of gold is a plausible benefit but it doesn't have any benefit in the system. My system bases on points and its used in Orbis Terrarum, the Map Game I currently run with Jaeden CC (previously Burgundy) in the spanish Althist wiki. We have economic points (denarii, though I supose they should be called ducats in this gam, or somethng like that) that are equal to a specific cuantity of gold, and we use them for build up military, trade, aument our expansion rate, fund independent explorers of scientifics (moderator events), fund rebellions abroad, or trade them for investigation points, that we use to develop technology. Does some of you undestarnd spanish? So you could read the system in the page "Puntuación (Orbis Terrarum)". If you don't I'll graldy traduce the system to show you how it works. --Galaguerra1 01:52, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, I also think the Holy Roman Empire should have different borders, as it's composed by many different states and those state could striggle the crown. --Galaguerra1 01:53, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand Spanish enough to figure the system out, I hope it won't be overly complicated (then again, a complicated game could have fewer and more competent players). I'll read up on it. On the HRE, I am going to think of a way, maybe I'll go with your idea with the different colored border, or use dotted borders or thinner borders for the states inside it. LurkerLordB (Talk) 02:03, May 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll end up reprising my role as China. Trying to kill the Mongols will be a challenge with the algorithm, but it can be done. I'd like to go more in-depth with China's interior. CrimsonAssassin 03:43, May 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll play as France. Making a huge worldwide empire can be a challenge, but may be worth it. BTW, for the HRE, is it possible you can take the position (you know, like Charles V)? RandomWriterGuy 04:16, May 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I, as you all know, am an India fanatic so I'll take the Dehli sultanate. However, things won't be like what they seem, and I don't plan to have a mughal empire! ;D [[Image:1.png|23px]] Imperium Guy 08:10, May 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll be Oman in the next game, but whatever happened to making this game into a timeline? <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 10:20, May 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Did you know that Oman actually had an empire in the 18th/19th Century but stupid emperors led to its downfall. It was so bad that there was a communist rebellion in the early 70s. Read the to get what I mean. :P --[[Image:1.png|23px]] Imperium Guy 10:34, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

OK, for the new map, I gave the HRE borders which were blue and grey mixed, and the smaller states inside I gave thinner borders than normal. On the subject of the HRE, would people play as the individual states, or the empire itself? LurkerLordB (Talk) 14:37, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

Individual states. In the vidogame Europa Universalis III In Nomine, the member sof the HRE are independent, but electors can appoint an Emperor and these EMperros can make laws that affect the whole empire, intervene somehow in politics, accept new members of the Empire and appoint new electors. I'm considering to play as England an ghet the throne of the HRE, or even make Venice a members of the Empire. I don't know. But I think I'll decide soon. --Galaguerra1 16:48, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

I read the system on the Spanish wiki, and it seems good, so if you could translate that when we actually make the game, that would be good. LurkerLordB (Talk) 22:00, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

I'd be glad to do so. Thank you. --Galaguerra1 22:27, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

I think I should play as China instead. RandomWriterGuy 22:32, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

Not sure if you're trolling me or being serious. I already called China. CrimsonAssassin 22:47, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

I made a draft of a first post in my userspace: Principia Moderni II. I will make a draft of the rules later so that we can work out all the new colonization and whatnot. Also I am going to update the map (again). LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:20, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

I've decided for England, and Jaeden says me that he'll join as Castille. I'll make a draft for my system. There are some things I need to ask you about it. --Galaguerra1 01:24, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

On the map you missed the iroquois civilization, as it did technicaly have one "Parliment" consisting of the top chieftains of each of the 5(and later 6) nations-Lx (leave me a message) 01:29, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

I will add them, for some reason I thought they had formed later, but I checked and they had definately formed by 1450, though their origins before that are indeed unknown. LurkerLordB (Talk) 01:59, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

Map problems
In addition to the Singapore Islands now being Italian, Vietnam should have annexed all of Andalucia, as they got above the 33.33% chance needed to overthrow the Andalucian government. LurkerLordB (Talk) 20:39, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

"The Tangierans officially annex the lands gained from the war with Andalucia. The new lands, which amount to the westernmost third of Andalucia, are absorbed into the country as the Province of Gibraltar."

1905 post.if he annexed all of it, then where are the other two thirds?--Collie Kaltenbrunner 22:21, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

I didn't see that. I'll remove what I put. LurkerLordB (Talk) 22:27, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Andalucia will remain in exile in Peru, and will agree to stay out of foriegn affairs. DeanSims 22:33, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Acutally, Vietnam did take all of Andalucia afterwards, so all of Andalucia will be Vietnamese by the next map. LurkerLordB (Talk) 21:16, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

And there's the fact that I spelled out the fact that Tangiers annexed the Baleric Islands, which I imagined were divided amongst three fighting factions who each wanted to join one of the three Spanish countries with a Mediterranean coast.Yank 21:45, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

DeanSims and Andalucia
OK, this has caused enough trouble already due to numerous retcons, so I am going to state the situation now: Vietnam has annexed all of Andalucia. Furthermore, DeanSims had no permission to use a second nation when his first still existed (the first whose mere formation was incredibly implausible, and which has been implausible for this entire map game). I am removing DeanSims' control of Andalucia, since it was unauthorized (in fact, Kenny forbid taking a second nation like he did when he tried to do it earlier) and like Yank said was probably just in order to regain part of the Incan territory. Furthermore, all it has done is create retcons and chaos. LurkerLordB (Talk) 21:16, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

Hetalia (Principia Moderni)
There's a show that I absolutely adore. And that show is known as Hetalia. For all those unaware of it, Hetalia is a show that depicts history by utitizing national personifications. In other words it tells the tale of history by making each nation a human character. There would be differences in each nation's personality and appearance. Naples (and later Italy) has never been "useless" (the title effectively means "useless Italy" in Japanese), and Russia would be a saner character than depicted on the show. It would provide a wonderful opportunity not presented in the actual map game. The ability to role-play as your country. And when the map game becomes a timeline it can become that world's equivilent of Hetalia. I think it'd be fun to do. What do you say?
