Imperial Europe 2 Map Game

Imperial Europe Map Game 2

I'm just trying to restart this map game

1. Exploring a new territory and colonizing it takes 1 turn.

2. Invading a new territory takes 1 turn, you can have multiple fronts but it should take slower.

3. Be reasonable about invasions, you aren't going to take over the country of Russia in 1 turn, plus a bigger country might be able to defeat you, especially if well connected.

4. Map changes from Europe to world (opening up colonization opportunities) after the first 10 turns.

5. 1 turn a day! 1 turn equals 1 year gametime.

6. Inactive users become neutral, unable to oppose invasion. (Still be reasonable when it come to invading them, they're not just going to bow down, only take the right amounts of land)

7. Treaties will be left up to you, remember to loudly proclaim at the sheer unfairness of treason when it occurs, we could all use a laugh.

'''Take notice! At the begining (1400), Europe will be intentionally massively subdivided, your country should start out smallish.'''

Current List (This will change when we get a map, just a pre-game estimate)

1400

 * The Ottomans invade the White Sheep Turk's territory.


 * Brandenburg invades some of the small states in order to gain access to the sea, but west of Denmark.


 * England expands the army, expanding the acceptable ages in the army further and giving the troops much greater amounts of training. English citizens begin to wonder about a "United Kingdom" of the two British isles. British government ignores the wonderings for now, and instead decides to increase trade between them and the other nations on the British isles, and builds many new ports along the coast of England, creating areas for a soon-to-be expanded fleet to dock.
 * The Portugese go to war with the inhabitants of northern Morocco and successfully take over the territories.
 * The Horde expands north. The military is expanded.
 * The Kingdom of Munster, in Ireland, successfully conquers the Kingdom of Connacht, also in Ireland.
 * Aragon expands Into Foix

1401

 * Munster continues to expand in Ireland. Hearing news of this "united kingdom" concept in England, Munster responds that Ireland shall never consent to join an English empire.
 * Aragon, seeking to establish better relations with it's neighbors, requests an alliance with Castille and Portugal. They also expand into Navvare
 * The Portugese expand their colonies in Morocco. The king of Portugal starts gathering resources from Morocco and sends out diplomatic missions to it's neighbors in Europe.

1402

 * Munster has by now expanded to all of Ireland save the pale, and reformes into the Confederation of Ireland. The Confederation begins a massive military buildup.
 * England increases its military presence in ireland significantly, due to the large irish army. England declares war on Scotland because of a so-called border infrigment. Many are skepticall about this, but a large portion of the English army goes out to war. Southern Scotland is captured, but the Scottish army wins a series of battles farther north, leaving England with only minor land gains and tyhe Scottish very angry.
 * The Horde continues to move south.
 * Portugal starts creating embassies and the people of Portugal begin to move toward a republic style of government. The city of Lisbon gains plenty of resources and begins creating more high lifestyles for the people.
 * Aragon expands into africa
 * Where in Africa, also how far, still please lets not make this another Imperial Europe Map Game 1. I need to know in case I have to change the map.

1403

 * All Players: Please make a country profile on the Diplomacy Page.
 * Ireland builds up its army immensly. The Irish Pale, longing to join Ireland, sees a serious uprising. The English garrison, although stretched from the war with Scotland, manages to barely put it down. Heavy-handed English soldiers cause even more outrage among the populace of the Pale.
 * The English rush troops over to Ireland, reenforcing the garrison. This causes Scotland to advance almost to the pre-war borders, but a well timed English counter-attack sends the Scottish reeling back. The English are unable to exploit this victory with manpower low. Engand resoleves to hire thousands of more troops, and with a year or so training they will be ready to fight. The English fleet is expanded again, and they move to blockade Scotland. English transportation is improved, with more roads connecting cities.
 * The Ottomans finsih conquering the White Sheep Turks.
 * The Portugese Annex their Morrocan territories as part of the Empire of Portugal. They also expand their cities in Morocco.
 * Aragon significantly beefs up their army. They also launch a surprise attack on Castille, looking form a common border with Portugal and increase trade. They capture the capitol within 4 months, and the rest of the nations descends into chaos without their king. Aragon easily defeats all the little fiefdoms, and merges Castille with Aragon.
 * Sicly, after building up its millitary for quite some time (sorry for not making my edits saying this, but I forgot about this map game) begins to plan its invasion of Naples. After some discussion, the plan is put into place: The First Phase-Attempts to divided Naples both politically and population wise. The Second Phase-After the First Phase, millitary forces will be sent in to help "Return balance and help prevent anarchy from taking over." The Third Phase-Afterwards, a fake goverment would be put in place in order to make it look like the goverment of Naples had been restored and overall Naples would belong to Sicly. The plan preperation would be complete by next year.

1404
Map Time! Add your changes!
 * Aragon begins to get better relations with it's neighbors, especially Portugal since it is a bordering neighbor. They also significantly beef up their navy and army.
 * The portugese strengthen their army and attack Granada through their expanded Moroccan colonies. Since Granada is not controlled by Aragon and the Islamic forces needed to backup Granada have been defeated in the conquest of Morocco Granada is easily taken over by the Portugese and their superior navy and military.
 * Ottoman forces invade the Timurid empire. The invasion is only partly succesful, with the Ottomans taking some lands from the Timurids but they take heavy casualties in the process
 * The Horde expands north and the military is expanded.



1405

 * Irish forces suddenly storm the Irish Pale. English forces in the Northern Pale are completely routed and forced to retreat south. The southern strongholds will take years to starve out, although fortunately England's conflict with sotland will prevent most reinforcements to arrive.
 * Siclys plan to take over Naples which began one year ago is finally complete and all land claims and territories of the Kingdom of Naples are unoffically part of Sicly.
 * The Ottomans win more land's against the Timurids, taking Baghdad. Ottoman forces march north as well, taking the Timurid's northern lands.
 * The Portugese expnad the moroccan cities and send out ships into the Mediterranian. They strengthen their army and send more diplomatic missions into Europe.
 * Aragon expands more west into Morroco in Africa.

1406

 * Irish forces manage to take the Southern Pale. All of Ireland is now under Confederation control.
 * The last of the Timurid Empire's lands are annexed by the Ottomans. Trebizond is also conquered. Meanwhile, the Ottoman's began to use cannons and they deploy the hand cannon to many of their missle troops. A navy is built up as well.
 * Lusting for a larger expansion of territory, the Hapsburg monarchy opens relations with Burgundy under promises of an alliance between the two "equal" nations. Issuing a large recruitment order of knights and squires, the Austrian army is rebuffed with a much larger roster, including a large construction order for trebuchets and catapults. Cannons are also tested, and a small experimental batch of them is ordered for manufacture by the Archduke. Using this new formidable army as a persuader, the neighbouring Small States accept "unity" within the Archduchy and it's borders expand. Austrian spies and cohorts begin working within the Burgundian court, hoping to persuade the Duke into a political unity between the two duchies.
 * The English King tries to rally the people to take back the pale, but is stunned to see that the populace in on the Irish side. The king gives up on Ireland for now, and focuses his attension on Scotland. The bockade starts to take effect, and the Scottish armies withdraw to the north to regroup. English armies relentlessly follow them, hoping to destroy the Scottish army. England continues to devolop the navy, making it one of the most formidable in Europe. The population of England expands, and the populace begins to wonder what a "united kingdom" of the two isles would be like. The English king promises that by the end of his reign, the isles will be munited. Many are speculative about this statement.
 * The Horde moves north and the military expands.
 * The king of Portugal dies and a new King comes upon the throne. This King begins what is known as the Portugese revision and starts to change the absolute power given upon the noblemen. He esablishes an early parliament. More Diplomatic movements are sent out through Europe
 * Aragon expands more in Africa, eastward this time. They are trying to be the leading power in africa.

1407

 * The Kingdom of Sicly is quickly becoming an economic and millitary powerhouse; the aquiring of Naples millitary gave Sicly the power needed to defend itself from invaders while ecnomic reforms have helped mold the lifstyles of Italians. Recent data shows that the average Italian living in Siclian controled territory live in a middle-high average house and/or a High average house. Also, the introduction of the Middle class among the population have reduced the amount of poor living in the Kingdom of Sicly. Sicly begins to expand its millitary and ecnomic power and influnece among nearby nations.
 * The Republic of Venice establishes colonies along the Dalmatian Coast from Bosnia to just above the Peloponnese. in addition, they require that all of their citizens who don't already serve in the military spend 2 months out of the year training in the militia, all of whom are equipped with either pikes or crossbows. the Doge also establishes artillery corp, who train in the use of primitive cannons, and research how to improve them.
 * The Horde moves north, touching Muscovy.
 * Aragon asks Sicily for a complete military alliance, sending much gold and silver as a gift for the king.
 * Austria persists it's diplomatic strategem with Burgundy. After a string of interlocking royal marriages, the Duke of Burgundy agrees to a personal union between the two states, in order to support each other during these tough times. The Austrian order of siege weaponry and cannons is completed, and on testing the Austrian generals are so please they order the construction of a hundred more for their armies. The Hapsburgs also opens up relations to some of the larger small states of the Holy Roman Empire, effectively making them their puppets by the end of the month.
 * England continues to attack Scotland. In the summer the English troops are laying seige to Perth, but a lare Scottish counter-offensive pushes the English to just north of Glasgow. The English king sends small attack parties to Ireland, severely underestimating the Irish and gaining nothing from the fighting. The routed English return home. England 's industrial power, although somewhat small, starts to expand slowly, causing more profitable goods for trade to be made. The English people call for an end of the war against Stocland, but the English king convinces them that they have almost won.
 * The portugese spread eastward and southward into Africa in their moroccan territory

1408

 * Venice expands it's Dalmatian colonies, and spends a large amount of it's treasury expanding its navy and merchant marine, especially in the carrying trade. tehy begin to utilize corned powder and bagged charges in their cannons, so they require less metal, and fire much faster.
 * Margeret of Denmark is deposed and executed by her adopted son, Eric of Pomerania. His first act in office is to bring the massive (if uncoordinated) Scandinavian military to bear upon it's main trade rival, Novgorod. By the end of the year, Novgorod itself (and the Baltic coast) is under Scandinavian control. In other news, Norwegian shipbuilder Alexander Hagluunds begins experimenting with copper-plating a ship's hull.
 * English armies make a breakthrough on the Eastern coast of Scotland, catching a Scottish army's flank and decimating it. English forces secure the cities of Perth and Dundee, while continuously advancing foreward. The strain of getting suplies to the English armies begins to tell, however, and they are exhausted. English forces attack and capture the Shetland Islands from the Scottish and plan on taking the Orkney Islands to the south next year. Te war against Scotland gets more unpopular as the people start to rebel, but the breakthrough quiets the critickes for a while.
 * Aragon begins to get better relations with it's neighbors. They ask for total alliances with both England and the Kalmar Union. They improve their transportation greatly and begin providing protection for merchants that travel through. Their navy is famous for it's efficiency, and many merchants hire it to protect their ships. This rakes in Aragon much money. They also improve their military by requiring by law that all male citizens, and women if they want must join the army at the age of 20 for 3 years.


 * The Horde declares war on Muscovy. They push the Muscovians back several fronts.
 * Portugal copies Aragons military expansion and allows women to join the army. They also expand their navy.

1409
'''So, Scotland is now a weak KU puppet state... if you say its a province, you can't be serious. Plus, Scotland and the KU had an alliance at this time in history. Who are you, and what have you done with BoredMatt?'''
 * Venice continues to expand it's Dalmatian colonies by offering free land grants to those who settle there. many Italians from various Italian states settle in Dalmatia along with the Venicians. in addition, several colonies in Tripoli and Algeria are set up.
 * Ireland offers peace to the English king, and continues to keep the Pale's ports open to English ships. In the meantime, the Confederation is more organized. It eventually takes the shape of a republic of nobles. Plans are drawn up to Invade Brittany.
 * Aragon offers an alliance to Venice and to Ireland. They recognize Ireland as a state, and hope for better relations with them. The navy is also improved dramatically.
 * Venice accepts Aragon's alliance request, and suggests that they divide North Africa between them, along the border of OTL Tunisia. they also suggest that the Aragonese and Venician navies should takepart in joint exercises, to promote working together.
 * The English king doesn't want to accept Ireland's offer, but his advisors make the agreement for him. trade starts to fluroush between Ireland and England, much to the anger of the king who wants to see the isles united. Meanwhile, English troops contain the Scottish to the Scottish highlands. The blockade has forced many citizens of scotland to flee. In two years the Scottish should be totally destroyed. England continues to build up its navy, and creates large ports on the peices of territory that England owns on Europe itself. The English fleet is now very large an d England makes plans for it to become one of the world's most powerful fleets in a few decades.
 * Portugal invades Sardinia. They conquer part of the west side and depose the Sardinian leaders of west Sardinia. Portugal also hires German and Moroccan troops to attack more of the Sardinians. They promise the Germans aid.
 * Sicly's continue's to advance it's navy and amry and also begin to allow trade agreement's from foriegn nation's.
 * A state-sponsored naval expedition by Rolf Emmerson (a wealthy trader and pirate; often both at the same time) takes the Scottish fleet by suprise in The Minch and routes it. Faroese troops under the Duke of Sundsvall lands in the Highlands and defeat the king's forces in several battles. Scotland is now nonexistant. In the east, the armies of the Union plow through the last truly Russian settlements in what was once the Principality of Novgorod. Due to Union support of Komi and Karelian tribes against the Russians over the years, Komi chiefs as far west as the Cheshskaya Gulf and as far south as Katlas swear fealty to the king of the KU.

'''Haha....That was me, as in BoredMatt 23:01, January 20, 2011 (UTC). Yes, I betrayed Scotland ;D'''

'''Guys, I was invading Scotland, and you came in. I still have the southern two-thirds of it'''

'''Ya, I know, I'm making a map. We just swooped in like vultures and stole the remains. Michael Douglas 23:07, January 20, 2011 (UTC)'''

As a way of compensating, you could overrun Normandy and take it back from france...Michael Douglas 23:14, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

That sounds like fun ):) Roguejedi 23:15, January 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * The Ottomans capture the last of the Timurid lands. The Ottomans enter a time of peace.

1410

 * Ireland launches a suprise attack on the remains of Scotland, capturing most of the Western Isles, which they begin fortifying. Rolf Emmerson and his army arrive in protest, but in reality they had no power or claim in that region. Ireland accepts the foreign alliance proposals.
 * England, having secured the southern two-thirds and the eastern coast of Scotland, has almost united one of the isles. All that remains of Scotland is divided between the KU and Ireland, a tiny portion of the whole island. England continues to build its navy, making it very formidable. They ask Ireland and the KU to give theri parts of Scotland to England in return for gold. England also fortifies their new gains, cutting of the foreign corner of Scotland through a seris of forts.
 * The KU declines giving back Scotland. The fleet is expanded, primarily in the Atlantic. The army consolidates their position in Russia, while troops take a small sliver of land from the Finns to connect Unionized Russia with the Union at large. Skaggens Odde is fortified as is the Great Belt.
 * Aragon accepts Venice's saying to divide north Africa. They expand their colony in North Africa southward, but they soon encounter the Sahara. They stop abrubtly, and they begin to experiment with ways to get across it or just go around it.
 * Venice expands it's colonies in Dalmatia and North Africa. A large Vencian army and naval force attacks the Mamluk Sultanate. thatnks to their highly trained pikemen, skilled navy, and improved cannons Venic wins several battles against the Mamluks, capture the Nile Delta, besiege Cairo and send several raiding forces down the Nile.
 * Portugal expands more into Africa and begins trade with Ireland. Irish traders soon begin to enter the ports of Morocco. Soon little Irish settlements emerge in Portugese Morocco. The Portugese also send ships down the west coast of Morocco.
 * In order to increase stability in the newly loyal Burgundian state, new Austro-Burgundian regiments are formed and placed along the borders of France and the HRE. The Hapsburgs halt their political machinations in the HRE and begins planning for an invasion of Hungary, in order to absorb it into the Holy Roman Empire and increase the Hapsburg domains. As such, Austria begins to research deeper into the art of cannons and siege warfare, including cavalry. Austria recruits five new cavalry regiments, specially trained for the Hungarian terrain. Austria also opens up relations to Venice and Aragon, hoping to increase their mutual interests with a military alliance between the three nations.

1411

 * England continues to soldify their gains in Scotland, and expand trade with Ireland. New, faster ships are built that can go much farther than normal vessels but have almost no fighting capability. England sends these ships down with around one thousand settlers to south-central OTL Morocco, and start a small colony there. The English king asks Portugal and Aragon for an alliance, saying: "We are all powerful nations striving to do what is good. Let us unite to focus our efforts and help each other along this wrong road."
 * Portugal expands its cities and annexes Sardinia
 * Ireland gains knowledge of gunpowder, and starts to upgrade its military with this knowledge. Ireland is increasingly a seafaring country
 * The Venician invasion of the Mamluk Sultanate goes increasingly well, as the Venicians quickly capture Cairo, and establish fortresses along the nile to protect their shipping routes. they also capture much of the coast, the Sinai, and build several forts in southern Israel.
 * Austrian spies are sent over the border into Hungary, and they quickly map out the Hungarian terrain nearest Austria as well as their tactical and military capabilities. The Hungarian army is large, but poorly trained compared the new advanced training of the Austrian regiments. The Austrian generals are hoping to take the Hungarians by surprise, and gain enough ground to dig in and whittle the Hungarians down enough to gain their westernmost provinces. Austria also opens up relations with Venice, requesting an alliance and a deal to divide Hungary between them if the war is succesfull. Three new regiments are recruited and sent to the Austro-Hungarian border, where they take up strategic positions.
 * The Ottoman Sultan Mehmed I calls for an army to be assembled to take the Holy Lands for the Ottoman empire. Thousands of peasants volunteer for the Jihad, along with 40,000 professional Ottoman soldiers. The jihad goes very well, and since most of the Mamluk army is fighting Venice, they Ottoman army meets very little resistance. By the end of the year, all the Mamluk territory in the Holy land is captured, and Ottomans across the empire celebrate when they figure out Jerusalem has been taken by the Ottomans. Sultan Mehmed still allows christians and jews to go to Jerusalem. Forts are built all across the empire's borders, and roads are built to make traveling easier. The Ottoman Navy is modernized and expanded.
 * The KU continues to fortify their Russian lands, while harbors throughout Iceland and the other Unionist islands with ports on the North Atlantic are expanded and improved to handle the larger fleet. The Baltic Fleet greatly increases in size this year as King Eric asserts his claim to Pomerania and Mecklenburg, absorbing both into the KU.
 * Aragon calls for a Crusade against the Ottomans to take back the Holy Land and restore Jerusalem. They also invade the Mamluk Sultanate and conquer all of it's land West of the Nile.

'''Map Time! Add your changes!'''



1412

 * Uh Sorry guys I don't know what happened, but for some reason we're scattered editing.
 * The Ottoman's began to send it's armies down to the Holy Land, though they are somewhat confused by the fact Aragon would just randomly invade the Holy Land. The Ottoman Navy attacks Aragon's Navy, which was sending troops to the Holy land to recapture Jerusalem. The vastly superior Ottoman ships easliy sink the majority of the enemy ships, though a few escape.
 * Uh, I never sent ships to attack you. I was callining for a Crusade, not launching one. Also, how are your ships "vastly superior"? I have been bulking up my navy and army for several turns, while you have sat twiddling your thumbs and conquering people.
 * Oy, England, I have a proposal for you. If you addopt the "Republic of the Nobles" type government of Ireland, which only means altering the Magna Carta a bit to limit the kings power (he seems to be pushed a round a lot anyway) Ireland can unify with England and I'll move on to Florence.
 * Venice continues to consolidate it's control over Egypt, and begins to invest some of Venice's wealth from control over the spice trade to rebuild and improve the Egyptian infrastructure. most importantly, they build a large port at the small town of Suez, and connect it to the Mediterranean by a huge road. this greatly enhances Venice's profits from trade in the East.
 * Portugal gathers up its soldiers and hires Irish, Moroccan, Sardinian, and German mercanary units to help in what will be Portugals first invasion of France through its territories above Aragon. In this first invasion with a huge army they conquer the area along the Bay of Biscay and start to march up to Bordeaux. The French crown begins to fight back with the strength of its army. Portugal transports food and goods up to Its territories and soldiers. They also hire pirates to pillage French ships. This wastes a lot from the Portugese treasury.
 * England accepts Ireland's proposal and alters the Magna Carta accordingly. The English fleet and army moves to France, where they invade from the north. The reson for the massing up of troops in the English lowlands is now evident, as England launches a massive attack from the north while Portugal is attacking the south. The French army is almost all in the south so England is able to, after a long, costly battle, capture Paris, which strikes a huge blow to French morale. Metz and Nancy are captured by the end of the year. England offers to use its large fleet to destroy the French one so Portugal can spend less money on hiring Pirates. Meanwhile, the king is estatic at uniting the British isles under his reign and declares a national day of celebration. Many people move to the African English colony, and it is expanded along the coast.
 * The KU continues to fortify Scotland and improve their port facilities in the North Atlantic. The main army moves through Karelia, defeating the Kajaani and Hous tribes. The fleet is expanded again, mainly in the Atlantic.
 * The Republic of Florence joins the Republic of Genoa and the Republic of Milan into a personal union. It becomes known as the Florentine Confederacy.
 * Aragon expands it's navy considerably.

1413

 * The Florentine Confederacy invades the Duchy of Savoy. Resistance crumbles, and Savoy becomes the fourth Republic of the Confederacy.
 * The Union expands their fleet and Scottish fortifications as the army rolls through Slavonia up and into Lapland. Rostock's port facilities are expanded considerably as it becomes the new base of the Union's Home Fleet.
 * Venice continues to develop Egypt, and invests more of it's increasing profits from the spice trade into expanding agriculture in Egypt. Egypt soon provides Venice with much of its grain, and Venice and it's other colonies begin experiencing a population boom thanks to the cheap egyptian grain. Venice also builds a series of powerful, cannon armed border forts along it's land borders in Italy, and expands its navy.
 * Under the rule of the former Counts of Zollern, Brandenburg builds up its army and navy, creating ports.
 * Actually the KU annexed both Pomerania and Mecklenburg since King Eric is from Pomerania :/....Brandenburg doesn't any ports except for Hamburg (not even sure if they had that OTL)
 * Apparently, Hamburg was a Free City. Okay, then Brandenburg annexes Hamburg (instead of what they were planning)


 * Aragon expands more into Africa.
 * Portugal begins to monopolize wine trade within France as it sends more attacks into France and onto its roads. Soon Portugal has control of the southern part of the major highways of France. This process kills many Portugese army men and women, but leaves behind elite surviving troops which are then promoted to generals and top ranking officials in the war. Portugal expands its navy in order to defeat France and compete with the large expanding navies of Venice, the Ottomans, and Aragon. This drains Portugals treasury.
 * The Ottomans start to amp up their navy considerably, also their army is made stronger as well. They ask Aragon for forgiveness, and offer them the Holy City of Jerusalem, but wish to keep the rest of the Holy Land under their control. They also offer Aragon an alliance.

1414

 * The Florentine Confederacy invades Provence, managing to conquere it within the year. Florence now offers Sicily and Aragon alliances, to secure its new empire. The wars have negatively impacted Florence's trade, and several measures are taken to ensure that the Florin remains the nomial trade currency of Europe.
 * The Ottoman Empire invades the Jalayrids, conquering them in just 4 months. Ports are built along the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
 * Portugal atempts another attack on France and wins the battle of toulouse and marsielle.Portugal strengthens their navy in a naval battle in the gulf of lions. They lose this battle, but come back with a better naval tactic and naval weapon. Portugal controls all of south France.]
 * The Horde begins to take Muscovian land.
 * Aragon accepts the Holy City of Jerusalem. They also accept the Ottoman's alliance and sends many gifts to the Sultan. They hope for better relations in the future, and begin to open up full trade relations.
 * Sicily agree's to the alliance and continues to improve its ecomony,infrastructure, and millitary.
 * Venice purchases Hungary's land on the Adriatic. they expand their colonies in Dalmatia, Tunisia, and encourage immigration to Egypt. Thanks to immigration and the Venician encouragement of Christianity, almost 15% of Egyptians are now Christians. Venice expands it's navy in the Red Sea, and expands south into Arabia from the Sinai, in order to secure shipping lanes in the Red Sea.
 * A small force of Faroese troops and Borderer mercenaries lands in Greenland. By the end of the year, the European-settled areas are under KU control. The fleet is expanded, as are port facilities in Iceland and Greenland.
 * Brandenburg sends a fleet westwards into the Atlantic.

1415

 * The Ottoman Empire invades Arabia. The Turks manage to take the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and secure the port of Aden for themselves. They began to trade with Aragon. The Ottoman Sultan Mehmed I offers Venice a trade agreement. The empire's wealth from the Silk Road allows them to continue to build up their navy and military.
 * England secures the captured portion of France, having failed to advance further due to intense French counter-attaks. By now, the English colony in Africa is very large and extends along much of the coast. Colonists start to move deeper into Africa. Trade with Portugal increases almost threefold, with more and more trading ships built in England every year. Trade with the KU also increses, and the reunification of the British isles is doing well, with all but a few Irish citizens accepting English rule and with teh combination of armies and naves, the English navy becomes one of Europe's most formidable.
 * The Horde moves deeper into Muscovy.
 * Brandenburg's fleets colonize OTL New York, naming it Neupotsdam.
 * It is way too early to colonize North America. I oppose this and ask for dates that we can colonize certian areas of the world.
 * You're right. Plus, it took at least thirty years before the first settlement was founded in North America. This is just when its first discovered. One year after discovery, you don't go founding a large colony.
 * Seconded. Shall we say 1450 as a good time for us to begin exploring that way?
 * The Florentine Confederation continues to attempt to regain their former status as trade leaders in Europe. More trade fleets are built, and the idea of an alternate trade route to asia is first proposed.
 * Well, why don't we do North America a little earlier? Maybe 1430? However, I do agree that this shouldn't end up like the first Imperial Map Game.
 * Alright, but can I still keep explorers there? It's not developed, just claimed


 * I think the point was that we dont start EXPLORING until 1450. besides, why would Brandenburg randomly send a fleet of colonists into the middle of the atlantic. seems a bit crazy
 * Well, in the map games I've played, the game ended long before they could even start exploring. Even if they're still alive, it would actually take a year before they could go to North America. For example, in Europe 1100, it will be November or December before anyone can go to America. Ask yourself, is it really a good idea to wait until March or late February before we can go to America? Most likely, people will get bored and leave this game.
 * Venice continues to improve infrastructure in Egypt, Dalmatia and Italy. they expand their trade fleets in the Red Sea, giving them greater access to Eastern markets. in addition, they continue to strengthen their borders in Italy, and expand their Tunisian colony more. they accept the Ottoman trade deal, which gives producers of bulk goods in Italy a much larger market to sell to.
 * I think that we can agree that the "colony" of Neupotsdam is really a building with a flag and a cross. In reality, very few would stay, and very few would have left anyway. If you had no idea it was there, you can't have explored it very well, so you have really no idea of what resources it contains and how its climate is. What probably happened is a Brandenburg fishing ship got lost, landed, planted a flag and immediately sailed back home.
 * Portugal annexes all its captured land in France by finally capturing the gulf of Lions. Trade flourishes between Portugal and Aragon. Because Aragon traded with the Ottoman empire along the silk road the portugese curiousity picks up and the Portugese crown begins thinking about send ships and caravans into the silk road. Portugals territory in Morocco has now been expanded partly into the Saharan desert and Portugese explorers are trying to find a way to navigate through the sandy desert.

'''Hey guys, I'm PitaKang, the creator of this map game. I've been looking at the posts, and I say that you can "discover" America in 1422, and the first settlements in 1436. No more discussion. Sorry, but this cannot get like the original Imperial Europe, with North America being divided into 3 sections before the end of the 15th century.'''

'''Don't bost, PitaKang. You may have made this page, but until you decided to change the rules it was a carbon copy of my game. XD I agree with you though.'''

'''I'm not boasting. I just don't want this to be like the original Imperial, with like 3 superpowers in colonizing America.'''
