Land of Opportunity (Map Game)

Christoper Columbus discovered America (the Caribbean really) one year ago. Colonial Empires will rise, Colonial Empires will fall. Will your Empire stand the test of time? Can you bring glory and wealth to your nation? Will you join the game?

Rules

 * 1) The game begins in 1493 (the year after Christopher Columbus discovered America).
 * 2) Native Americans start with a far lower technological level than Europeans but can catch up.
 * 3) Mods CAN be players, but if they are bias their mod-hood will be revoked.
 * 4) Historical events and revolutions will still take place as well as less-existent revolts (though you can stop them, possibly) but the revolting nation keeps strong cultural ties and names may be different (e.g. OTL Canada revolts against Sweden but will be called Vinland and speak Swedish).
 * 5) Implausible colonization can be pardoned (e.g. Morocco colonizing the Caribbean or China colonizing Baja California).
 * 6) Knowledge of the West will spread slower to eastern nations, but faster than OTL.
 * 7) No colonizing Africa until 1650. This rule can be changed depending on game progression.
 * 8) I am bad at making maps, so players must contribute (when needed).
 * 9) Mod's word is law unless proven wrong.
 * 10) No excessive Alien Space Bats.
 * 11) If I set something up that is historically inaccurate (e.g. UK existing in 1494) correct me.
 * 12) Grammatical Correctness.
 * 13) Game starts with six players.
 * 14) Map will be updated every five turns (five years).

Vote to kick DeanSims from Mod position (Reasons: Slight implausibility, Rampant breaking of Rule #12, trying to colonize before knowledge was at hand):

'''OK, the colonization thing was a mistake, secondly grammar correctness - that's an insane rule. You try using your phone 24/7 to type on here. It's not easy, and slight implausibility, everyone here is slightly implausible.'''

'''I use my phone 24/7 and I almost never have a typo, and you could always go back and check. You're right about implausibility, but you more than others. Ottoman Caliphate? You realize that would NEVER happen, the Ottomans were Sunni, who believe the Caliph would be elected, and the Sultan would never give up that power. Also, the colonization thin, fair enough, but all you have to do is read the post!'''

'''Mod Event: Knowledge of the New World spreads beyond Spain's borders. Portugal, Morocco and France can now attempt colonization of the Americas. Carib Indians, after their brief encounter with Christopher Columbus, advance slightly in technology.'''
 * China: Emperor Zhū Yòutáng and his advisors pass a series of laws that begin to tackle the corruption within the Chinese government, especially among nobles and the military. He also orders the training of more officers for the Chinese Army, while he begins to prepare for an offensive against the Mongols to the north. Universal education is granted to help increase the literacy of the Chinese people. Establishment of universities in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong begins. A trade agreement is sent to people of Tibet (RNG, please).
 * Tibet D: Accepts the trade agreement.
 * Spain: A colony is founded on Hispaniola, and Christopher Columbus himself, is named governor. Spanish explorers begin to chart and discover new lands throughout the new world.
 * Siam: A large military campaign is launched to finally unite all of Indochina, and a military and navy are expanded significantly, and explorers are sent out into Indonesia to map the many islands.
 * Ottoman Caliphate: The Empire is reorganized into the Ottoman Caliphate. The newly proclaimed Caliph immediately announces the declaration of war against the brown nation occupying Egypt, Judea and parts of Arabia and Ottoman forces land near Palestine, Alexandria and, after crossing the Sinai Peninsula, the Arabian coast along the Red Sea. Ottoman forces soon force the battle of Palestine, taking Jerusalem and the area of OTL Israel in the process. Alexandria is also taken and most of the area around the Nile Delta soon is under Caliphate control. Military continues buildup while the Caliph offers Persia a non-aggression Pact and alliance.
 * Pretty sure that the "brown country" is Egypt.
 * I'm more than sure that no one can take Egypt within one year unless it accepts vassalization or Protectorate status. 
 * They don't own it completely yet, and I'm sure the mods will do something if it becomes implausible.
 * I'd say be plausible on the invasion. I've done it on LLL with the US and it got somewhere. If it's going to be plausible, increase the deaths, mention tough resistance, and heavy pressure on the troops.
 * France: With the news of the newly found lands some of the French leadership begins Colonization, sending an envoy of five ships to cross, one Landing in OTL Guajira and another one In OTL Cartagena, found and in similar way of the Spanish the Sea is mapped though only near the Settlement regions. While this, an alliance is offered England and Spain and military build up is prepared.
 * Scotland: Alliance offered to England. Ships are built and should be ready to set sail within the next year.
 * Sweden decides to build ships to colonise the New World along with Norway and Denmark . Together, the three countries form a loose federation called the Scandinavian Federation. An alliance is offered to France.
 * France agrees on the Alliance with Sweden
 * England: Agrees with the alliance with Scotland and asks to name it the British Alliance. Builds up ships to prepare to settle in the New World . Modernization begins and the army and navy is expanded.
 * Mod: Knowledge hasn't spread to you guys yet. Wait a little bit.

1494
Mod Event: Egyptians manage to fight back heavily (used RNG for severity +1 for defending homeland, structured algorithm will be put together soon), and manage to reclaim all the Nile Delta and parts of Palestine, but Jerusalem  itself is not taken. Knowledge of the New World spreads farther: the Ziyyandis, Hafsids, Hanseatic League, and England can now colonize the New World.
 * Ottoman Caliphate: The Ottomans launch, another offensive from Palestine, and with heavy casualties due to Egyptian resistance but manage to take all land north of the Sinai Peninsula while Ottoman forces link up at Suez after Ottoman forces retake the Delta. The Ottoman Army also reaches Mecca and through bitter fighting and casualties takes the holy city and all land south of Mecca previously controlled by Egypt. The Caliphate is also divided into several provinces, Anatolia, Candar, Rumelia, Byzantine, and Slavenia. Egypt is offered a deal ceding all land east of Suez to the Caliphate in return for Caliphate forces aiding Egyptian expansion west and south.
 * Caliphate Province of Slavenia: Troops are sent to fight Egypt.
 * Caliphate Province of Rumelia: Troops are sent to fight Egypt.
 * Caliphate Province of Anatolia: Troops are sent to fight Egypt.
 * Caliphate Province of Candar: Troops are sent to fight Egypt.
 * Caliphate Province of Byzantine: Troops are sent to fight Egypt.
 * Ottomans offer this peace treaty, ceding everything east of the Sinai to Ottomans while in return Ottomans will aid in Egyptian expansion into Africa and sign a full alliance with Egypt.
 * Egypt (RNG): Accepts.
 * Spain: The navy is expanded. A colony is founded in St. Augustine, FL, and southeast Cuba. the Spanish also expand into Morocco.


 * Spanish colony of Hispaniola: the colony is expanded
 * Mod: I'm not sure what you mean by "expand into Morocco". You can invade Morocco but as it exists currently it is a sheikdom and a civilization currently about as advanced as the Europeans, so no colonizing.
 * PMod: Though you can always launch a war against them. Also, can I update current map to look as it should By 1493?
 * On the old map, it looked like Spain had a dot in Morocco. Sorry for any confusion. 
 * Portugal: Military is expanded. News of the New World is heard, and Ships sail towards the route of Spain, but a storm knocks them off, and they land on what is OTL Long Island. A colony is set up there. Spain is asked for an alliance
 * Siam: Invasion of the Malayan peninsula is undergone with 50,000 soldiers with its navy (two galleons and three galleys), and due to its small size Siam marches across the peninsula and invades their capital (read Talk Page) and manages to conquer, until this point the Siamese encountered little resistance, and this was explained when Malacca pulled all their troops back to their capital (Malacca), and conquer it with great success. Explorers return from the Pacific and Indian Sea, bringing new maps and knowledge. China is asked for an alliance.

 * Let's discuss the map on the Talk page.
 * France: Another Colony is Made in OTL New Orleans called in the Same way and and outpost is made in OTL Panama called Nouvelle Nantes, the colonies in Northern Colombia are expanded along the coast between each other. The military is built up as so does the fleet and the alliance offer to England and Scotland still remains while Spain is offered an alliance as well.
 * The Ming Empire launches an offensive against the Mongol Armies to the north, hoping to destroy the long-time enemy of the Chinese. Meanwhile, a trade agreement is sent to Siam and Joseon. The Emperor orders the increase in funds to anti-corruption agency, transportation, and research/development. Universal education is passed by the emperor and all classes of society from peasants to nobles are allowed to attend either an all girls or all boys school.
 * Siam D: We accept the trade agreement
 * Joseon (RNG): Declines trade agreement.
 * England: Agrees with the alliance with Scotland and asks to name it the British Alliance. Builds up ships and makes a settlement in OTL Quebec. Modernization begins and the army and navy is expanded. Asks Scotland a plan of sending two fleets, one to the New World and one to China. Also, asks Scotland for a joint invasion of Ireland.
 * Scotland: Accepts the British Alliance. Prepares militia for join invasion. four New Fleets are under construction (two for national defense, two for exploration). Accepts the French Alliance. Several Dozen Muskets are made.

'''Mod Event: The Young Turk movement begins early in Turkey and spreads into Persia. Knowledge of the New World spreads farther, Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, Aragon, Egypt and Mali can attempt colonization. Siamese ships discover the northern coast of Australia. Carib, Amazonian, Huron and Incan people advance in technology. Incans can now smelt bronze and Hurons manage to steal some guns from the Portuguese. Carib natives are not enjoying the presence of the Spanish and launch a raid, killing about a third of the population in their Hispaniola colony.'''
 * Spain: Aragon becomes part of the Spanish Empire. Colonies are founded in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and  the Bahamas.
 * Hispaniola: colony is expanded.
 * La Florida: colony is expanded.
 * Cuba: colony is expanded.
 * Siam: Returning troops from the Malaysian peninsula return home, numbering about 45,000 and then meet up with more soldiers, now numbering about 80,000 they march to Khmer to aid in the unification of Indochina (needs algorithm). More explorers are sent to the Northern coast of Australia and begin mapping it. A massive improvement of infrastructure is undergone, to connect the nation with a spiderweb of highways. China is asked for an alliance once more, and colonists are sent to OTL Balabac.
 * England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance and sends in more troops to Dublin in preparation for its military campaign against Ireland. Builds more ships and settles in OTL NewFoundland, Labrador and Boston. Manchester, Canterbury and York are modernized. The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of a man-of-war. Plans for an all out invasion of Ireland and asks Scotland to join.
 * Scotland: Scottish ships have Landed in OTL Nova Scotia and Colonization begins. Scotland will be fighting alongside England and its allies as part of the British Alliance. Preparation to colonize a large section of the eastern coast of the new world is underway and a possible empire may or may not be sparked out of this.
 * France: Expeditions into Central America are started and a colony in OTL Nicaragua begins as well as one in OTL Brazil Easternmost Tip and one last colony is made in the mouth of the River Saint Lawrence, The Colonies expand and the military is built up, Spain is asked for an alliance as well as Austria and Burgundy, and the First French Explorer crosses Panama and reaches what is referred to as the Neptunic Ocean. England and Scotland are asked for a Non-aggression Pact and the First Exploring Campaigns begins in the Pacific Coast of Colombia, with an expedition to the Magnificent empire in the south as some tribes tell the Explorers.

Mod Event: Knowledge of the New World spread farther''. T'he Ottoman Empire, Persia, Prussia, Russia  can attempt colonization. Amazonian, Caribbean, Huron, Seminole, Inuit, Cherokee, Incan, Aztec, and Mayans advance in technology. Aztecs and Mayans can now smelt bronze and make weapons and armor from them, and the Incans begin smelting iron. Amazonians offer the French a trade agreement, Sicily and Sardinia begin to revolt, demanding independence. French explorers meet the Incans.'''


 * Siam: The colony in Balabac expands and controls the small island it rests upon. Colonists are sent to OTL Quezon and OTL San Jose de Buenavista. Invasion of Khmer continues (needs algorithm) . An alliance is asked for with China, the navy is expanded, and explorers are sent farther into Indonesia and northern Australia.


 * Scotland: Most of OTL Nova Scotia is claimed under the name "New Scotland". Preparations to invade Ireland are made and a third fleet is added to the Scottish home navy. Asks England to have Ireland partitioned after the invasion.


 * I'm just going to point out that "Nova Scotia" literally translates to "New Scotland."
 * Exactly :p


 * Sweden starts a colony in OTL Lake Maracaibo. The colony begins to expand.


 * By the way, Daxus, your algorithm is done and you gain 15% of Khmer lands. However, you can continue the war until 1500 and then you could annex the Khmer empire completely.
 * That's what I meant, I just thought I would need continued algorithms.


 * France: Th e offer from the Amazonians in Nouvelle Terre Vertes (New Green Lands) is accepted, the colonies expand, while the expedition group returns to the Panamanian colony, telling stories of a Great Civilization in the south. While this, military is built up and the city of Nouvelle Orleans becomes the Capital of the New Colonies north to the Spanish. While Nouvelle Marseille (OTL Cartagena) becomes the Capital of the ones south to the Spanish colonies. Another colony is made in OTL Rio de Janeiro and OTL Nueva Esparta Venezuela.


 * Holy Islamic Caliphate: The two tiny nations separating the Caliphates lands and quite easily conquers them, annexing them. Caliphate forces then invade the Crimea and prepare to invade Wallachia. T he Caliphate establishes a colony on Canterbury in Australia while a colony is established in OTL Charleston Harbor, and it is named New Antara. The Caliphate also invades and occupies the little remnants of the Byzantine Empire and annexes it, moving the capitol to Constantinople.
 * Caliphate Province of Slovenia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Rumelia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Anatolia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Candar: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Byzantine: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Mod: No. So far only Siam knows of Australia and their knowledge is limited to rough maps of the northern coast. The Byzantine Empire was annexed in 1453, and the Crimean Khanate is your vassal.
 * England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and sends in more troops to Dublin in preparation for its military campaign against Ireland. Builds more ships and settles in OTL New York, Philadelphia and Halifax. Manchester, Canterbury and York are modernized. The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of a sloop. Plans for an all out invasion of Ireland and asks Scotland to join.
 * Mod: Portugal got there first.
 * Spain: Spain continues to build the navy. Spain blockades the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, and only lets vessels of Catholic nations through. Troops are sent to Sicily and Sardinia to put down the revolt. Colonies are founded in Venezuela, Panama and Santa Elena.
 * Hispaniola: colony is expanded.

Using and typing on my phone is not easy, especially when I keep getting edit blocked and have to retype everything. (DeanSims: Talk) 03:18, February 4, 2013 (UTC)===1497===

1497
Mod Event: Knowledge of the New '''World spreads, Oman, Yemen, Gujarat, and Vijayanagar can attempt colonization. Knowledge of strange landmass to the south of Indochina spreads to Khmer, Dai Viet  who can now attempt colonization. A French ranch has a problem when a herd of horses break out and run in the direction of the Incan Empire. The Incas, Seminoles, Carib, Yurok, Cherokee, Huron, Sioux and Inuit advance in technology, the Mayans and Aztecs can now smelt iron, Huron discover masonry. ''The Carib natives launch another attack, destroying the Jamaica colony and damaging the Hispaniola colony once more. Contact with the Seminoles and Spanish occurs, and it is not hostile, Amazonians begin being integrated into French colonies, bringing their religion and culture with them. Rebels in Sicily and Sardinia grow in numbers.' 
 * May I say, how could the Incas get horses if my nearest colony is in Panama, and their northern frontier is in Ecuador? I mean, maybe next year or in 1499. After all, the horses would need to cross a lot of jungle to reach them. Sine dei gloriem (talk) 23:02, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll edit it, but I would like to point out horses run FAST.
 * Siam: Conquest of Khmer continues. Colonists are sent to OTL Manila, OTL Palawan, OTL Darwin and call the land New Siam. Buddhist missionaries are sent to the Malayan Peninsula, and a Buddhist monastery is opened in Malacca. Scientists begin researching gunpowder and the printing press. Schools open with mandatory grades 1-4.
 * Balabac Colony: Develops and population increases.
 * Philippines Colony: Expands and develops.
 * New Siam Colony: Expands and develops.


 * Holy Islamic Caliphate: The Caliphate annexes its Crimean Vassal and it becomes a province. The Caliphate invades the four or five little states (needs algorithm) in the Caucasus and plows through them easily, annexing them . Caliphate forces then invade Wallachia (needs algorithm). Charleston is expanded. The Caliphate begins to settle the Arabian Peninsula and troops begin to conquer it.
 * Caliphate Province of Slovenia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Rumelia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Anatolia: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Candar: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Byzantine: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Crimea: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Caucasus: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Charleston: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Judea: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Mecca: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Caliphate Province of Hejaz: Troops are sent to fight.
 * Mod: First of all, without wars (algorithms) you can't annex anything - not even the two small states from 1496, neither the Caucasus and second, as far as the Ottomans know, Australia doesn't exist. However, you can try to put colonies in Somalia and the East African coast. My advice is that if you want more scoring, make more vassals instead of annexing them.

Can you please do the algorithms?
 * OK, Charleston as in South Carolina, as in North America.

We will pay you, Spain, to allow us access, we beg you.
 * I'm just going to point out this is 21 years after the death of Vlad the Impaler, so I wouldn't recommend invading Wallachia because at this point the Ottomans were afraid of the Wallachians.
 * Another issue, the Atlantic is closed to the Muslims except for Morocco. Spain is now blockading the Gibraltar Strait and your colony will fall unless you make them change. Also, for the Spanish, Panama is pretty much mine, and which part of Venezuela?
 * ​I'm colonizing some part of those which have not been claimed yet. If Panama is implausible, then just scratch it. 
 * My advice to you is to become an ally of the Northern African states or vassalize them. Then you can move troops and ships through North African and sail from Morocco. I, as France, would help you, but at least as far as I know, it could raise some revolts that I don't need.
 * Or you could try to break the blockade. At this point the Ottomans are pretty tough and in a few decades invade Austria.
 * MOD: An unexpected result turned out. The Ottoman Caliphate lost with 36% of its land being taken by the Dulkadir Ramanadanids which means that the Ottoman Empire collapses, to avoid further implausibility, Daxus, Civil War and New Byzantine Empire and Sultanate of Rum? Also the Caliphate of Mecca.
 * Are you suggesting that the Ottomans die and several countries spring out of it?
 * Well, that's more likely than their getting annexed by a country the size of Portugal. So, three years of war, then in 1499 civil war in which the Byzantines and other groups re-emerge and the Balkans and Anatolia end something like this. 1500-Ottoman-fall.png
 * Very well, I flipped a coin so this will be carried out. For the colony in America it will become an independent city-state.
 * Very well. This, people, is the reason I don't go to war too often in map games without being a coalition war, or without being ready for the war. 

Please don't destroy me. I'll stop expanding and you can remove all posts after the Egypt treaty.
 * Inca: Horses are used in the military and the army increases. An explosive black powder is found in one of the horses saddlebags, and production begins to see if it can be used for weapons. Horses also aid in expansion deeper into South America . Explorers discover the Panama colony and ask its owner for trade and an alliance. Research into casting metal begins.
 * Mod: Horses haven't reached you yet, and there is no way in hell that the Incas can produce it at this time, not to mention the horses escaped from a ranch and wouldn't have any packs on them, and for the love of the Four Crown Princes use grammar!
 * ​The Scandinavian Union continues to expand its colony on Lake Maracaibo and establishes a new one in OTL Rio de Janeiro.
 * Mod: People, read other people's posts! France colonized there last turn already.
 * England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and sends in more troops to Dublin in preparation for its military campaign against Ireland. Builds more ships and sends a fleet, similar to Vasco Da Gama's that will hopefully land in China and Siam. Manchester, Canterbury and York is modernized. The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of freight. Begins invading Ireland. (Algorithm please)
 * British Canada: Expands and increases the technology in the settlements, starts trading with the Indians.
 * Mod: I really don't know what you mean by "modernize" because at this time Europe was still a tick or three less advanced than Asian cultures.

'''Mod Event: Knowledge of the New World spreads farther. Siam, Khmer, and China can attempt colonization '''. Knowledge of Northern Australia spreads farther.  Vijayanagar and China can attempt colonization . '''Ottomanistan becomes self reliant and makes trade with the Seminoles. ''All native Americans advance in technology, Inuit discover masonry and Huron discover bronze smelting. ''Due to their close proximity in South America a Swedish-French-Amazonian culture emerges. Escaped horses reach the Incas. Sicilian and Sardinian rebels ask for foreign assistance and pity.'''

'''in the Anatolian Peninsula the war the Ottomans started continues without success as the Dulkadir and Ramadanids troops hold the Ottomans as the War continues and the Sultan of the Dulkadir continues convincing the Sultan of The Ramadanids to Fight against the Ottomans. While this, some revolts occur in the regions of the Balkans, in the once regions of the Bulgars, Serbia and Parts of Achaea'''.

Siam:  Invasion   of Khmer continues, colonists are sent to OTL Broome, OTL Laoag, and OTL Cabo San Lucas, ca   lling the peninsula of OTL Baja California "New Malaysia" due to both places being peninsulas. Gunpowder is made but it is not nearly as" explosive as that in guns and research continues, a large paper factory is built in Bangkok and a printing press is made. Incas, Aztecs and Mayans didn't have bows. Although they were pretty good technologically, bows were never invented. Also, mustang is so not a plausible name for Incas to name horses.
 * North Philippines Colonies: Expand and develop.
 * Balabac Colony: Loses colonial title and is integrated into the country.
 * New Siam Colonies: Expand and develop.
 * New Malaysia Colony: Expands and develops.
 * Eh.. I don't think Siam should go too far yet. You've barely reached Australia, and I don't think that Siam could be able to cross the largest ocean of the world yet, without Chinese help - maybe in ten years
 * LOL Nope, at this time the Far East was at about the same technological level as the Westerners.
 * Incan Empire: Strange animals are found and are named mustangs. Mustangs begin to be used to transport goods throughout the empire, increase the settling of the rest of South America. They are also used for archers, and these new units are called Mustang Archers, and they allow the military to be built up. Military buildup continues. The Panama colony is asked for wheat and barley seed and some cattle. We offer maize, llamas and tomatoes in return.

I can make up a name for my horses and I can invent a bow, and I'm quite sure they did.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inca_army#Weapons

'''Every native tribe south of the Mexican-American border didn't have bows and arrows, they used javelins, and Wikipedia is hardly a reliable source. Also, I'm booting you from the game because of terrible grammar, implausibilities (due to lack of historical knowledge), changing nations, and uncrossing yourself out.'''

'''There's no rule against changing nations, and grammar is no reason. It's not as if I'm just putting nonsense. And Mustangs is a made up word for the Inca. It's fine. You're mad at me because of the other map games. And Incas had bows and arrows.'''

http://www.localhistories.org/inca.html

It said they knew of them but didn't use them. If they knew of them, then they could use them, so I added them to my military. Checkmate '''The Americans also know of spears, we ain't using them in our military. GTFO out of my game.'''

I love it when I win
 * Spain: Tales begin circulating throughout the empire about cities of gold, and other such fantastic places. The navy is expanded and the blockade continues. Troops remain in Sardinia and Sicily to hunt down any remaining rebels t hat may still be there.


 * Hispaniola: colony is expanded.
 * La Florida: colony is expanded.
 * Cuba: colony is expanded.
 * Jamaica: colony is expanded.
 * Bahamas: colony is expanded.
 * Puerto Rico: colony is expanded.
 * Venezuela: colony is expanded
 * Santa Elena: colony is expanded. A garrison of troops is sent due to the proximity to the Muslim colony.
 * Panama: Colony is expanded. (I didn't know that this area was undergoing colonization when I posted it, so if it is implausible to put a colony there, then just scratch it out.)
 * Panama, I think, is large enough for more than one colony, but borders will be made eventually. Also, the Jamaica colony was destroyed by the Caribs. What do you mean "may still be there"? They have grown in numbers...
 * France: Military build up continues and the colonies expand, a colony is founded at the mouth of the river called the Alba River (Amazonas) as it seems a great position for a colony. While this, an alliance is asked of the Scandinavian Union.
 * Scotland: With News of this New 'Australia' Land, ships are built and some of the best explorers around are sent to find/explore/colonize. Colony in North America has expanded.
 * S.S. Mod: No, read the damned mod event.

1499
'''Mod Event: Knowledge of the New World spreads farther. A ll nations but Zulu and Great Zimbabwe can colonize the New World.  Knowledge of Australia spreads farther.  Gujarat, Joseon, Ainu and Satsunan  can attempt colonization. Abdul Alhazred, a Sufi missionary, arrives in Ottomanistan and converts most the population but Sunnis who care little for Sufism leave. Ottomanistan offers Spain a trade agreement, Seminoles, seeing that their attacks are working with little backlash, attack and destroy the Puerto Rico colony. All Native Americans advance in technology. Huron and Inuit can now smelt bronze. ''Native Americans are hit by a terrible plague and 30% of their population dies, and 15% of colonists die.  Sardinia and Trincaria declare independence as the Isles of Italy.'

'''Next turn one lucky nation will be hit by the Series of Unfortunate Events! (RNG Event)'''

Mod: Colonies are NOT expanding, there is a plague.
 * Spain: Troops are sent to attack the rebels and put the Mediterranean states firmly under their control. Troops are also sent to the New World to protect the colonies and destroy the "heathens." The Spanish begin killing and enslaving all natives that refuse to convert to Catholic Christianity. They begin in the Caribbean Islands, and will work their way through Florida into North America. Most of those who convert still become slaves.
 * Hispaniola:  colony is expanded, and troops are sent there.
 * La Florida:  colony is expanded, and troops are sent there.
 * Cuba:  colony is expanded, and troops are sent there.
 * Bahamas:  colony is expanded, and troops are sent there.

 * Santa Elena:  colony is expanded, and troops are sent there.
 * Panama:  Colony is expanded, and troops are sent there.
 * Seminole (Mod) D: Ask for peace with Spain since the Seminoles have shown no aggression. In return, the Seminoles will help combat the Carib.
 * Ottomanistan (Mod) D: We ask that you refrain from genocide, as the Natives are swell trading partners! Speaking of, care for a trade agreement?


 * Siam: Colonists are sent to OTL Bocolod, OTL Melville Island, OTL Galapagos Islands, and more colonists are sent to New Malaysia with plenty of doctors and medicine to deal with the plague crisis. The Invasion of Khmer continues and begin producing turtle ships en masse. More research goes into gunpowder and manages to make it explosive enough for short range guns.
 * Philippines Colonies: Expand, develop and increase in population.
 * New Siam Colonies: Expand, develop and increase in population. Contact with aborigines takes place and the Colonies isolate themselves.
 * New Malaysia Colony: Renamed "New Malacca," and several quarantine zones are instituted to deal with infected, and burning of corpses begins. Decrease in population develops. Contact with native tribes take place and colonists are unsure how to deal with them.
 * Scotland: Great Lakes are found and The land claim in the New World is expanded, more migrants to the New World are sent after the disease has been eradicated naturally. Colony attempts expansion west, south of the now dubbed "St. Laurence River" to Eastern OTL Ontario and South to OTL northern New York State. Farming in the least-hit colonized zones is increased.'
 * Mod: Who said it was already eradicated? When 15% of your population dies, you don't get bigger.
 * England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and invades Ireland (algorithm please). The fleet passes the OTL Cape of Good Hope. Manchester, Canterbury and York are modernized. Settles in The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of freight.
 * British Canada: Increases the technology in the settlements, starts trading with the Indians. The plague forced the colony to focus on hygiene and the scientific way of eradicating disease. Bringing the birth of the branch of medicine.
 * France: The colonies in South America expand, but the Virginian and New Orleans' Colonies stay static as the plague hits them. While this, the navy is expanded and military is built up, and in an attempt to aid the Greek Christians some weapons are sent into the Greek coast to aid them rise up against the Ottomans.

'''Mod Event: Knowledge of Australia spread farther. Persia, Oman, and Majahapit can colonize '''. ' The Series of Unfortunate Events hits Spain! Granada declares independence, and is backed by military support from Morocco, Savoy offers to buy Sardinia (if refused rebel thoughts remain in Sardinia) and threatens with war if the offer is refused. Carib natives destroy the Puerto Rico colony! Sunnis from Ottomanistan somehow arrive in Trinidad and form Arylanlaristan. The plague continues and 60% of natives and 35% of colonists die and 40% in Spanish colonies before it dies. All native tribes discover masonry and the Inuit and Huron learn to smelt iron. Aztecs and Mayans receive horses from Incan Traders.'

'In the Balkans revolution breaks out. New nations arise, and the Byzantine Empire Returns, Bigger and Greater than in its near past, a Venetian-Greek Inhabitant whose Name is Julius Capuletto (LOL) becomes the leader of the new empire, under the Name of Constantinos Neologos (more LOL)'

'''I'm not a mod, but my Puerto Rico colony was already destroyed by Carib natives last turn. Wegscuba (talk) 20:12, February 6, 2013 (UTC)'''

'''My bad! '''
 * Spain: Unable to deal with the rebellious provinces at the moment, Spain sells Savoy both Sardinia, and Sicily to boost their Treasury. Spanish troops promptly invade Granada and Morocco (mods do algorithm). The killing of native Carib islanders continues. Due to the rebellions, the Inquisition is widely increased, and many of the "heathens" are also enemies of the state. The Mediterranean blockade continues. The Spanish hear the plea of the Seminoles, and they are told that if they convert and reject their heathenism they will not only be spared, but they will be under Spain's protection (and essentially become a puppet of the Spanish empire.) If they do not, then they will be killed.

Colonies: A wave of panic spreads through the colonies due to the disease. A new "colony" is founded in OTL Nicaragua. Everyone infected with the plague is sent there to live. Soldiers manage to keep order in the colonies for now.

Seminoles D (Mod): 'Most of our peoples in our northern land have converted to Islam, but all remaining Seminoles will convert, but allow us to stay autonomous.

Arylanlaristan D (Mod): We offer a joint cooperation to the destruction of the Caribs.

Spain D: We will only spare the converts. We'll give you time to try to convert the Muslims as well. Siam: More colonists are sent, land in New Malaysia, OTL San Francisco where they create New Bangkok, while others are sent to Sumatra and Southern Makassar. Khmer is formerly annexed and becomes part of Siam, and many war-weary troops return home to rest. Recent breakthroughs in gunpowder allow for the Siamese to become on par with the Europeans in weaponry. A liberal movement sweeps through the nation, and most heretics of Malaysia convert to Buddhism.

Philippines Colonies: Expand, develop and increase in population.

New Siam Colonies: Expand, develop and increase in population. Some guns were fired at hostile-looking aborigines.

France: The South American colonies expand, and the Great Lakes are discovered. An outpost is set in them to begin a later expansion. While this, military is built up, and several. The Caribs are offered aid in protecting their lands from the Spanish if they agree to become active allies of the French who will not force them to Christianize, same with the Arylanlaristanians. The Byzantine Empire is asked for an alliance.

Carib D: Accept.

Arlanlaristan D: Declines I'll do the algorithms tomorrow, OK?

England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and invades Ireland (algorithm please). The fleet passes the OTL Cape of Good Hope. Manchester, Canterbury and York are modernized. Settles in The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of freight. Hundreds of ships is built to settle in the New World as quickly as possible as the plague ends. A team of explorers, led by John Cabot, discovers the Great Lakes also and explores to OTL Duluth.

British Canada: Increases the technology in the settlements, starts trading with the Indians. As a result of the plague, the first medicinal academy is opened in OTL Boston.

1501
Mod Event: ''All countries can now colonize the New World. Siam learns of Eastern and Southern Australia, knowledge of Australia spreads farther. All Asian countries can colonize it.''

Savoy forms Piedmont-Sardinia and invades Genoa, annexing it. '''Northern Muslim Seminoles, afraid of the Spanish, flee into the walls of Ottomanistan, who hires several mercenary corps in case Spain tries anything, while the southern ones begin converting to Catholicism. '''

British Canada and USA : Increases the technology in the settlements, starts trading with the Indians. As a result of the plague, the first medicinal academy is opened in OTL Boston. The settlement expanded to New Foundland and Labrador and expands inland to Albany.

Siam D: Alliance offer accepted.

Mod: That's where Ottomanistan is.

1502
'''The USA didn't exist until 1776. It was New England and/or the Thirteen colonies.'''

'Mod Event: Caribs learn how to build strong ships, and Incans develop a writing system. Knowledge of Australia spreads farther. Ottomans, Mecca and the Sultanate of Rum can now colonize. Arlanlaristan manages to push the Caribs off several islands, and Huron proposes trade with the Scottish and English. The Amazonians are incorporated more into French colonies.'

Siam discovers Eastern Australia. Japan: Colonization expands to OTL Hokkaido, OTL Sakhalin and OTL Kamchatka. Industrializes Kyoto, Tokyo, Nagasaki, Osaka, Hiroshima, Sendai, Yokohama, Kobe, and Saporo after colonization.

Mod: Japan hasn't been united yet.

Siam: Invasion of Dai Viet begins, with 85,000 troops being sent, as well as a large fleet of 20 turtle boats (algorithm). The king declares himself emperor, and creates a weak senate. Colonists are sent to OTL Los Angeles, OTL Los Mochis, OTL Ketaping, OTL Carins, and OTL Hawaii.

France: The Colonies expand, and in Michigan's east coast a Colony is made called Nouvelle Calais, while in OTL Washington D.C. While this Expansion continues, and with it military development, the navy is build up as an invasion plan for Carthage is built up, the Byzantines are offered an alliance.

Byzantines D: Accepts '''OK, Daxus. I know Asian cultures were as much developed as European, but you begin colonizing before news could really reach you from America and even so, I don't think any real leader would send their people to a land they don't even know just for pure land, Having this said, your colonies are implausible, at least by now, though you can re-try in ten years after exploring most of Asia and North American Pacific Let me keep these two colonies, then I'll stop for a while. Also, I don't think Hawaii is too implausible.'''

England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and invades Ireland (algorithm please). The fleet lands in China and Siam, asking them for an alliance.

'''Mod Event: Knowledge of Australia spread farther. Russia, the Byzantines, and the Egyptians can now colonize. Arlanlaristan and Ottomanistan ask for a trade deal with Spain and France.'''

Siam: Explorers are sent to the near-Pacific regions to get more accurate maps of islands, and explorers are sent around the Colonies to better understand nearby resources and map. Invasion of Dei Viet continues (still needs algorithm). Women receive the right to vote in the senate. Colonists are sent to OTL Tacloban.

New Malaysia Colonies: Expand, develop, increase in population, mapping is underway.

Hawaii Colonies: Expand, develop, increase in population, mapping is underway. Few islands are colonized. Scotland: Invasion launched on Northern Ireland, Asks England to take the south. Colonies in North America expand. A Scottish ship lands in Northern South America and a colony begins there, using the resources of the area. Halifax is established as the Capital of the colony of "New Scotland" or Nova Scotia. Internal infrastructure and technology expands widely. A smaller version of a musket is developed, Dubbed "The Handgun" and given a nickname 'The Scottish Revolver' because of its revolving magazine.

'''Mod: Could you be a bit more specific? There is a lot of North in South America.''' Mod: If he means Colombia and Venezuela and most of eastern Guyana, Scotland can't as most of this coast is under Spanish, French and Swedish control.

Mod: Magazines still won't be invented for a few more centuries.

Byzantine Empire: Fortifies its Ottoman borders, and sends out four ships to colonize that which is now North-East Brazil. Meanwhile, Constantinus Neologos is deposed in a coup, and the former Grand General Jontiben takes charge of the Empire. He immediately embarks on a program to boost Byzantium's appalling level of literacy by improving the education system and building libraries throughout the empire '''There's no way any coup would succeed on taking him out, he's of Greek descent, and he freed Greece. It's like if the Americans killed Washington, it would end up in a civil war, I feel fine about the colony, though.''' I just feel I need to explain how I came to power.

Mod: If he means Colombia and Venezuela and most of eastern Guyana, Scotland can't as most of this coast is under Spanish, French and Swedish control. The Scandinavian Union (sorry for going MIA) continues to expand its colonies in OTL Venezuela and Texas. A new settlement begins in OTL New Jersey and also in OTL Rio de Janeiro.


 * France: The military is built up, and so is the navy, the colonies expand and another colony is made in OTL Vermont. The colony at The Amazons expand, and another colony is made in Northern Mexico near Texas.

England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and invades Ireland and take Wicklow and Wexford. The fleet returned. Manchester, Canterbury and York are modernized.

The first medicinal academy in OTL Boston grew into a larger academy and is becoming a university. The settlement expanded to NewFoundland and Labrador and expands inland to Albany. Hudson Bay is discovered.

1504
'''Mod Event: Knowledge of Australia spreads farther, Hafsids, Ziyyanids, and Scandinavian Union can now colonize. France, Spain, Scotland, England, and Portugal learn of the numerous New World food crops. A census shows that most people of Hispaniola are Vodunist due to the massive amounts of imported slaves.' Amazonians can now smelt iron, and have begun the domestication of horses. Voting on the names for the New World is taking place on the Talk page.'''

Byzantine Empire: The Byzantine Colony in the new world begins claiming land and clearing trees for farming. In Europe, the port at Athens begins constructing a caravel to add to the empire's fairly pathetic navy.

'''SS Mod: Do you know what history IS? The Amazonians are passive and have yet to raid anyone, and it is the Incas, Aztecs and Mayans that have gold. All of these are empires you have yet to make contact with, and who said you could control the Amazonians?'''

'''I've never played before, and the way I see this is basically a more-or-less historical role-play. And another thing, this is not history, this is alternate history. I'll change it, but I don't see how what I did would be illegal.''' '''Just understand what is alternate in this game and what is not. '''

Russia: After hearing about the riches that many nations are gaining from the Americas, the Tsar decides to embark on a massive modernization campaign. The Tsar orders that the Navy in particular be built up, as it will be necessary to colonize the Americas.

Spain: The war in Morocco continues. Spanish Privateers begin raiding merchant shipping out of the Muslim countries in the New World. Meanwhile, Hernan Cortes contacts the Mayans ... and successfully steals a lot of gold. A new colony is founded in OTL Nicaragua.

Carribea: Expands.

La Florida: Expands inland.

Venezuela: Expands Panama: Expands.

'''SS Mod: So you're sending Hernan Cortes to kill Mayans? I'm just going to point out that at this time the Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs are on-par with the Europeans tech-wise, save for the fact that they don't have gunpowder. Also ATL Hernan invaded the Aztecs, and be more specific as to which islands the Carribea colonies spread to''' GOW.

Mod:  You have already made a colony in Nicaragua, though small Why would you send a 19 year old who's probably something less than a private to them?

'''Good point about him being 19, I'll substitute someone else. I know he invaded the Aztecs, but the Mayans are closer, and he didn't get to the Aztecs until the 1520s. He's not killing Mayans, just stealing their gold. They won't go back again without a HUGE army. The colony previously made in Nicaragua was just a bunch of sick people I put there so everyone else wouldn't get the plague. Now, several miles south, a legitimate colony is being made.

'''IF NO ONE ELSE VOTES, NORTH AMERICA WILL BE NAMED TERRA LIBERARUM.

Siam: Invasion of Dei Viet, and an explorer creates a better map of the Red Sea and more specifically the Sinai Penninsula, which the Siamese now understand would be an important trading post, and production of war-galleys, caravels, turtle ships increases, and a prototype galleon is made. Colonists are sent to OTL Townsville and OTL Mackay. Muskets become standard-issue to every soldier.

Kala Pa Kos Colonies (formerely Galapagos): All islands now have at least a minor settlement on them, and mapping of the nearby islands and Incan Coast begins. Expand, develop, increase in population.

Piedmont-Sardinia offers to buy Kaffa (Crimean Penninsula) from the New Byzantines. North America has been named Terra Liberarum (Land of the Free in Latin). Voting on what to name South America will take place on the Talk page.'''

Russia: Begins to expand eastward, extending its territory to around Krasyonarsk, as the Tsar's Army faces little to no opposition from the natives in that region. At the same time, a fleet of hastily constructed ships arrives at and colonizes Svalbard, which was previously uninhabited. They found a city there, naming it Zenitgrad. The Tsar hopes that the planned port there could help in colonizing Greenland, and, eventually, North America itself.

Byzantine Empire: The colony in the New World is reinforced and expanded. Five ships carrying colonists and troops found a new colony at the OTL Cape of Good Hope. An economic crash has brought the horrible state of Byzantium's economy into public light. As a result, the trade fleet is expanded and the Terra Liberarum colony increases the cost to dock in the harbor. As for the Crimean Peninsula, Sardinia is asked what the Byzantine Empire will get in return. Read the Rules, next person to try to break that rule will be banned for one turn. Terra Liberarum is North America.
 * Byzantine Colony: Borrowing a name from Portugal, the Byzantine colony in Terra Liberarum is named Brazil.
 * Piedmont-Sardinia (Mod): Military access, money (which will much be needed for the New Byzantines), and respect.
 * Byzantine Empire: Only if you throw in three fully outfitted caravels.

Russia: Russia continues to fortify Zenitgrad, and intend to turn it into an impregnable fortress-city. A flotilla of ships is assembled to colonize Greenland and prpare to set out from Zenitgrad. Meanwhile, the Tsar's army continues its drive eastward, entering Yamalia. Soon, all of the unclaimed land in Northern Asia will be Russian. The tribesmen in the Siberian peninsula hold a sort of a plebiscite, choosing to join Tsarist Russia.

Spain: The Moroccan-Spanish war ends, with Spain in control of the parts of Morocco bordering the Mediterranean. S panish privateers conduct a coordinated massacre in Ottomanistan, killing a lot of civilian s. A task force begins to be assembled to combat the Mayans. The Aztecs and Incans are also contacted, although under more peaceful circumstances. The Spanish empire secretly hopes to take over these natives as well. New colonies are founded at the mouth of the Amazon River and at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata.


 * Ottomanistan hired many companies of mercenaries.
 * Florida :Expands west, towards the gulf of Mexico.
 * Carribea: Expands west in Cuba. An inqusitior's court is established in Hispaniola. Vodunists are imprisioned, and jails are soon full. hangings and torture begin to be commonplace.
 * Venezuela: Expands southeast.
 * Panama and Nicaragua: Expand and merge, under a single colony, Nicaragua.

Siam: Colonists are sent to OTL Guatemala, where the French are encountered, and the Emporer decides this would be a grande trading port, while more colonists are sent to OTL Port Hedland and Karratha. We offer a trade deal with France. The Invasion of Dai Viet continues, and a naval assault of the Sinai Penninsula is prepared for. A Naval Academy is built in the Hawaii, New Malaysia, and Kala Pa Kos colonies. Naval and military buildup continues Borneo Colonies: Expand, develop, increase in population.
 * New Malaysia Colonies: While the southern penninsula of OTL Baja California remains, the northern, OTL California colonies split off and become Tnmi Hiy. Expand, develop, increase in population. A Naval Academy is built
 * Tnmi Hiy Colonies: Expand, develope, increase in population. A forum is made to discuss many things with the Natives, which are now being called Fiela Nan (Those in Thai).

 * Guatemala Colony: Expands, develops, increases in size, and envoy is sent to a nearby French colony as a greeting.
 * New Siam:  Expand, develop, increase in population.

Russia: All of the unoccupied land in northern Asia is now Russian, officially making Russia the largest (in territory, anyway) country on Earth. Russia establishes a colony in OTL Botany Bay, which they name New Petrograd. A Russian flotilla lands in Greenland and establishes a colony, as well as a friendly relationship with the natives. The military, particularly the navy, continues to be built up and the modernization campaign continues. Serfdom is abolished. A Russian naval fleet lands in OTL Alaska and begins to trek inwards, founding a colony: New Archangelsk.

France: The military is built up, a colony is made in OTL French Guiana and the colonies expand, I'll do real map later, OK?

The Scandinavian Union continues to expand its colonies on OTL Maracaibo and OTL Texas. Accepts British Alliance.

Format Fixed!

England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and invades Ireland, taking all Southern Ireland. Manchester, Canterbury and York are modernized. The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of rifle. Ships, loaded with thousands of settlers, settled in most areas of unsettled Maine and  Richmond. Continues modernization and the major settling movement ends with a settlement in OTL Norfolk, Dover, Maracaibo and Tampico. Sends a secret offer to France and Spain for a major offensive of the Incans before they reach similar technology like the Europeans.

British Canada: Increases the technology in the settlements, starts trading with the Indians. The first university is opened in OTL Boston. The settlement expanded to New Foundland and Labrador and expands inland to almost the whole Eastern Quebec. Starts mass-scale farming of maize, wheat and potatoes.

British Mexico: Increases the technology in the settlements, starts trading with the Aztecs.

Voting on names for Central America will take place on the Talk page, South America is now Amazonia.'''

Byzantine Empire: Five ships, which were meant for South Africa but ran into a strange, persistent storm, have founded a colony in north- western Australia. The Byzantine diplomats in Sardinia state that they will accept the offer that has been given to them only if the Piedmont-Sardinians throw in three fully outfitted caravels.

Piedmont-Sardinia D: Accept

Just about all of Northern Australia is owned by Siam.

Siam D: We offer fine East Asian goods in return for Western Weapons.

Byzantine D: We'll trade you 50 pikes and 70 shortswords in exchange for silk, shark skins and sappan wood.

Siam D: We decline, as we just want more guns than we can currently produce.

Map games don't work like that.

'''You're not a mod. There's no point in deleting my post, and just "we accept" makes it sound like we'll trade muskets and gunpowder weapons as well. Stop deleting my post.'''

'''I made the game so I am a mod, and guns are the point of the agreement! Map games aren't about numbers and inventory, and 120 melee weapons are barely anything and Siam already has many of them.'''

'''Fine (I saw that EoGuy had edited it), but I will not trade any muskets or gunpowder weapons. We don't know the Siamese well enough to give them access to that kind of military power.'''

It's a good for their sake they have that type of power, just in more limited amounts. Spain: Vodunism begins to decline sharply (this is only due to the fact that most now practice in secret and cannot accurately be counted) The Mayans are invaded (mods do algorithm). Raids on merchant shipping out of Arylanlaristan and Ottomanistan increase, and privateers flock to the waters off these two small ports. Occasionally, even a Spanish naval vessel will "unknowingly" raid a merchant Ottomani ship. A large Spanish fleet to be known as the "Armada" begins construction. The blockade of Gibraltar is officially lifted (although, due to naval ships being needed elsewhere, the blockade wasn't nearly as formidable as it once was, and it was common to see whole merchant fleets slipping through the cracks.) A secret offer is sent to France to split the lands of the newly-discovered Incan empire among them.
 * Katoikis tou Amazoniou: A second town farther inland is constructed, with two platoons sent to garrison it. Around it, more trees are cut down and farms are planted. The Amazonian Exarch (see below for why Byzantium is reusing Exarchs) is renamed Katoikisi tou Amazoniou, or "Amazonian habitation".
 * Notia Katoikisi: The Australian colony begins trading with the natives, though soon finding that they have practically nothing they want. Plans are drawn up to invade a large section of the area and deport the natives to supplement the meagre workforce of the colony. After some deliberation, the Exarch (this is an Exarchate instead of a Theme, as this is not a military expedition. In the core of the Empire as well, the Themes are being changed back into Exarchates as they are more beneficial economically) and his magistrates have decided to name the colony "Notia Katoikisi", or "South habitation" in keeping with the theme (the other type than mentioned before) begun by the Amazonian colony (I have removed the Greek accent marks, as I can't type them on my computer).
 * Florida: expands west towards the gulf.
 * Carribea: Cuba and Venezuela expand west.
 * Nicaragua: expand northwest along the Pacific Coast.
 * Venezuela: expands southeast.
 * Rio de la Plata: Another settlement is founded on the opposite bank.
 * Amazonas: expands.
 * SS Mod: Just going to point out that a majority of the populace in Hispaniola is dead, so that colony is going to be reduced by 60%
 * Ottomanistan D: We offer to pay a fee for the safe passage of our ships and Arylanlar ships.

Siam: Invasion of Dai Viet continues, and the navy is increased, and a squadron is sent to Europe on a diplomatic mission. The invention of the printing press reaps what it has sown and a census shows a 42% literacy rate and rising. The entire nation seems to have an insatiable craving for coffee, which is being imported from the New World. Contact with Arylanlaristan is made, which is disheartening, as it seems to the Siamese that Muslims will be an issue everywhere. The invasion of the Sinai Peninsula is canceled, and instead will invade Majahapit, and the Emperor receives two Giant Tortoises as pets and names one "Patience," and the other "Wisdom."

Byzantine Empire: More troops are sent to reinforce the garrison in Notia Katoikisi in response to recent diplomatic blunders on the Empire's part.
 * New Malaysia: Coastal and inland discoveries are made. Expand, develop, increase in population.

 * New Siam:  Expands, develops, increases in population. The Byzantine colony is reached, but the colony's origin is unknown.
 * Makassar Colonies: Expand, develop, increase in population.
 * Byzantine Diplomacy: I've decided that I WILL trade you a lot of gunpowder, muskets and cannon, IF you give me all of Siamese possessions in OTL Australia.
 * Siamese D: Luckily we already have guns, and our need for more doesn't outway our rationality. That offer is ridiculously high. Economically, it has an extra chromosome and we are offended. You are lucky we do not burn your colony to the ground.

SS Mod:  '''Your colony was founded by shipwrecked survivors of a storm heading to Africa, the government has no way to know where they are, and even less knowledge of how to get there. The government would be sending ships to Africa to search, not immediatly know where they are.'''

'''No, the storm surrounds Africa. They couldn't have gone that far away from their original course. They hit the storm, turned around and headed back to Constantinople, got refitted and then sent to colonize Australia which had just been heard of. They even had a map they bought from a Dutch explorer in harbor.'''

Then you should have explained that, my criticism stands.

I could argue more, but there's no point as I found the "lost colony".

England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and invades Ireland, taking all Southern Ireland. Manchester, Canterbury and York are modernized. The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of rifle. Ships, loaded with thousands of settlers, settled in most areas of unsettled Maine and Richmond. Continues modernization and a major settling movement is in preparation.

British Canada: Increases the technology in the settlements, starts trading with the Indians. The first university is opened in OTL Boston. The settlement expanded to NewFoundland and Labrador and expands inland to almost the whole Eastern Quebec, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecticut. Starts mass-scale farming of maize, wheat and potatoes. Builds the first colonial army made up of settlers and colonials named the British Colonial Army.  British Mexico: Increases the technology in the settlements, starts trading with the Aztecs.

British South America:  Increases the technology in the settlements, starts trading with the Amazonians. A exploration party departures and discovers the Incas.

Vermont should be French.

France: The colonies expand and another colony is made in OTL Uruguay's west coast. The first attack is made to the Austrians ruling over Burgundy, Belgium is occupied by the French army, Military is built up.

'''Mod Event: Knowledge of Australia spreads, all nations may now colonize it. Central America will now be referred to as Mestzico. Byzantine colonists, after a harsh year of being stranded build and send a ship, and manage to find a Byzantine ship searching waters around the Cape of Good Hope. Byzantium now knows the location of their colony! Due to Spain's actions against the Haitan Vodunists, the Hispaniola colony shrinks by 60%. Ottomanistan hires their own privateers and builds their own navy, and manages to stop most Spanish piracy, but the offer to pay a fee stands. Scotland offers to sell all their colonies to the Scandinavian Union. Voting on what to name Australia will take place on the Talk page.'''

Byzantine Empire: Ships are sent to two sites in eastern OTL Australia, and one to OTL Tasmania. The colonies have all been named as well. Troops are sent to reinforce the garrison in Notia Katoikisi. The main focus in the capital now is science, and the scientists are working on new ways to irrigate and fertilize more efficiently. Name list for new colonies- OTL Tasmania: Thamnos Katoikisi, South-Eastern OTL Australia: Dasikes Katoikisi, North-Eastern OTL Australia: Agones Katoikisi

Incan Empire: The Incas start building up their military. We have predicted that the white men will come soon.
 * Katoikis tou Amazoniou: The colony expands slightly farther into the jungle. More trees are cut down and more farms planted. Each settlement is expected to have a thick wooden wall (more than a palisade), a muster field and at least 50 houses. Another town (not subject to the regulations stated above) is begun slightly north of the second town.
 * Notia Katoikisi: Expands into the desert around it, deporting all the natives it finds into "involuntary servanthood", basically slavery with low pay. An irrigation and water collection system is set up, allowing farming in the hot climate.
 * Thamnos Katoikisi: Sets up farms and another settlement inland, begins expanding its borders and sets up a small fort on a cliff overlooking the sea.
 * Dasikes Katoikisi: Begins farming, expands slightly inland and sets up another settlement.
 * Agones Katoikisi: Sets up an irrigation and water collection system and begins farming.
 * SS Mod: I would point out that Southern Australia hasn't been discovered, but I feel I've been too harsh.
 * You said that Australia's been discovered. I took that to mean all of Australia.
 * Siam D: We offer trade, primarily fine East Asian goods for Incan agriculture.

England: Asks the Scandinavian Union for an alliance again and invades Ireland, taking all Southern Ireland. Manchester, Canterbury and York are modernized. The economy has an increase and the military is expanded. The navy is more expanded and the scientists develop a primitive form of rifle. Ships, loaded with thousands of settlers, settled in most areas of unsettled Maine and  Richmond.

 * Thamnos Katoikisi :  Receiving the most Imperial funding, the borders expand to cover all of the island. Forts and walls are constructed, the eventual goal being to turn the island into a giant fort.
 * I changed it to just "more walls and forts are constructed"
 * Dasikes Katoikisi: Fosters friendly relations with the natives (which haven't heard about our "involuntary servanthood" of their western brethren, as the desert is impassible by the native people. As the soil is more fertile, forcing the natives into "servanthood" is not necessary. The borders begin to expand inland and south.
 * Agones Katoikisi: Expands south to attempt to meet the expanding borders of Dasikes Katoikisi. "Involuntary Servanthood" is not necessary here either. Trade captains find that a strange, bent, flat piece of wood that is lavishly decorated, yet used as a hunting weapon by the native aborigines, is very popular as an exotic curio in the capital. It is named the boomerang.

Towns grow, the education system is improved, and the towns are industrialized too.
 * Agones Katoikisi: The territory here expands rapidly east and slightly north. The towns grow, are industrialized, schools and buildings are constructed, and all the settlements are fortified. A fort in the northmost reaches of our territory is built, and, assissting the native aborigines in a famine using food from Dasikes Katoikisi, make good friends of the natives.
 * Eparchate of Cyprus: Most efforts are focused toward rebuilding and trying to convince the populace not to revolt. In those cities that weren't damaged by the invasion, schools and stores are built.
 * Prasino Katoikisi: Sheep are brought in to feed on the lush grass, farms are planted, and trade with the natives flourishes.

Like I said before, this can't happen, the Zoroastrian would get killed.

Fine



Aztecs should be WAAY bigger, they had aqueducts upt the Sierra Nevada and their capital was OTL Mexico City.

Byzantine Empire: The troops attack Cyprus. As so many men have been gathered from throughout the empire,

36,000 attack this time. 14 caravels and 6 galleons provide support. Mobilization begins to replace the lost troops and reinforce depleted garrisons throughout the empire.

Katoikis tou Amazoniou: The borders expand, and troops are recruited.

Notia Katoikisi: Further pacification of the natives continues. The borders expand, and a new town is founded.

Thamnos Katoikisi: The territory expands greatly, and more towns are founded, fortified and industrialized. Troops are recruited as well.

Dasikes Katoikisi: The borders expand, and more towns are founded, industrialized, and farms are sown.

Agones Katoikisi: The borders expand greatly, another fort is constructed, troops are recruited, and farms are planted.

'''I asked earlier on, and you said to edit in your country's expansions, so I did. Note: The map is missing New Madrid (on OTL North Island New Zealand).'''

The Maori destroyed it in a Mod Event.

Spain: After a few visits to the Incan empire, the Spanish realize that there is no possible way that they can defeat them in a military conflict. The Incans are not as heathenous as the other natives, so Spain attempts to set up formal diplomatic relations with them. Catholic missionaries begin to be sent there with the blessing of the Spanish government. The armada continues construction. '''THE MAYAN WAR CONTINUES BEING FOUGHT. T'''he Spanish, lacking a Pacific fleet, reinstate privateer licenses, and ask them to go after the native Maori. Privateers are paid by how many people they kill, convert or enslave.

Colonies: '''All colonies expand. '''Hispaniola is now at 65% of original population.
 * SS Mod: You can try, but the Maori are tough and won't get killed easily by anyone.

Scotland: '''I ndustries expand, gunpowder is now mass produced. Explorers en route to Australia land on the Horn Of Africa, claiming a small colony and territory there. A colony south of the Amazon River delta is founded.'''

Nova Scotia: Farming expands. Creates more friendly relations with the Inuit, give them technology and such. Territory expands several dozen Kilometers (1000 meters) westward.

Please fill out nation information here: Nations

Spain: Spain attempts to ally with the Aztec Empire, so they can destroy the Mayans together (because Spain is getting nowhere alone). They continue to send missionaries to the Incas, and begin sending them to the Aztecs as well. Spain accepts the Maori offer, and Nueva Andalucia is established in the Cheiftain's homeland (which I do not know the location of). The Maori are tough, so enlisting the help of other natives is common and much easier. Because of this, Northern Maori convert more easily than others, but southern Maori are stubborn. The Armada is finished. all '''Colonies expand. '''Hispaniola is now at 75% of its original population.

The Maori chief is the southern part of the Northern Island.

Siam: Ronin mercenaries are hired from Japan, and the Second Invasion of Majahapit begins. Soldiers numbering 90,000 and the fleet granting naval support, and larger attack with rested soldiers is expected to be more successful (algorithm).

Buddhist missionaries arrive and a small colony is built in OTL Christchurch called Buddhatemple. All colonies expand. </li>
