Europe 1430, Number II (Map Game)

Note: This is in NO WAY attempting to replace the original Europe 1430 game. It just sounded like a good starting point for us as well. The game structure, however, is different, based on Principia Moderni.

Starting Map


This is the starting map

Rules

 * The main goal of these rules is to keep the game realistic, therefore every turn must be plausible; one cannot take over the world in 10 turns.


 * This game shall last until the present day. Afterwards, it shall be converted into a regular timeline


 * As long as the states are hereditary monarchies, one controls a particular monarch in a royal house as well as their successors, and a monarch may control more than one state as is detailed later. Royal marriages are thus encouraged for plausibility. This may lead to succession crises, etc.


 * A turn is one day. Each turn is composed of one action, which can be militaristic, diplomatic, etc.


 * Exploration (or any sort of sea travel) takes one turn.


 * Any land which is conquered has inhabitants, and they must be dealt with.


 * Keep in mind the linguistic effects of conquering and colonizing.


 * Every person must do an action every year, but only one action.


 * Every five turns, a map is to be made. Each player should edit the map according to their nation's actions. Every map must be saved as a .png on the current map template.


 * Negotiations will be on the Talk Page.


 * Each player will "call" a nation, one nation per player. The game will start once decided on the talk page


 * The creator of this game, Cosman246, has the power to grant and regulate technology for every nation, as well as regulate plausibility. They also have the right to create random events in any and every nation throughout the course of the game.


 * Actions like espionage are allowed and will be detailed later. *Alliances and dynastic unions are allowed, as is bargaining to achieve these.


 * If a nation is inactive (does not respond for five days), it is considered in civil disorder and thus fair game for conquering even if one was allied with it. However, resistance is stronger than if it was normally conquered.


 * There are supernational confederations (e.g. the Holy Roman Empire, the Kalmar Union), and they function like alliances. They can be broken (e.g. the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire) and they can be formed (e.g. the unification of Spain)


 * You can hire raiders/pirates and make them raid any nation's ship, but this greatly reduces that country's relationship with your nation.


 * The game ends in the present.


 * Profile pages for your country are recommended. See here for an example.


 * If you are new, you start the game in the turn you joined.

Multiple Nations
It is possible to create multiple nations. However some rules must be observed.

Vassal States
You may have vassal states subordinate to your nation, but contiguous to your nation. They are ruled by your first nation's government, but are allowed to keep their own interests. You may have up to two vassal states, and they are in the category of colonies.

Dynastic or Personal Union
Dynastic or personal union is multiple countries ruled by a single dynasty or person, respectively. This can be accomplished by overthrowing the dynasty in another country. The other country must border your first country. The rules are the same as standard expansion, but it may be a better idea than invasion if the second nation is an ally or has a different religion. The second nation may have an extra half turn or full turn, with the first nation having a half turn.

Independence
Bordering nations may gain independence at any time. Colonies may gain independence beginning in 1776. Players may add a quarter turn per year and keep alliance with the first nation, or add a half turn and break alliances. After thirty years, the number of turns doubles for that nation.

Full Unity
A nation not in dynastic or personal union and without vassal states is in full unity. When not in full unity, the country is more susceptible to invasion, despite having more turns. Independent nations are in full unity after 15 turns.

Moderators (effective 1430)
There should be three to five moderators at all times.

Anyone may comment on a post believed to be implausible, but only moderators may roll them back. Moderators are in charge of inducting new members, and controlling the maps. Moderators should be active often to inspect moves for historical implausibility. Moderators may cause natural events with a majority among them voting in favour. Moderators may cause events affecting all players or only players who have expanded implausibly.Moderators may have specific roles if they wish. If there is enough support, someone may be elected or impeached every 10 years.

Requirements
Not having expanded implausibly for fifteen turns, as determined by other moderators.

Played for at least ten moves.

Must use a user account for most of their edits.

Must be active at least 3 days a week.

1430

 * Naples attackes benevento and defences quickly collapse they also extend a alliance to the Byzantine Empire.


 * 1. Grammar


 * 2. Layout


 * 3. You can't win so quickly. You attack but defences don't "quickly collapse"


 * I have to agree, and Benevento was a Papal States' enclave. By this, I think that you are going at war with the Papal States, too.


 * Hungary invades Wallachia, easy prey as the country falls into Hungarian control in a month. Wallachia files for a ceasefire which Hungary, gratiously, accepts.

1431

 * Brandenburg is well on its way to conquering Mecklenburg. Meanwhile, they ask for an alliance with the Union of Calmar


 * Most of benevento is now controlled by Napels and Napels begins to ramp up there Navy for a blockade of the papal states.
 * 1. It's Naples, not Napels
 * 2. Proper capitalization
 * 3. The Pope excommunicates you and all of Naples as a heathen state condemned. This is actually a really big deal at the time, as it excludes you from Western Christendom and community with Western Christians.
 * If hes allied with the Byzantine Empire he can turn Orthdox so Eastern Europe will deal with him.

 * The Byzantine Empire annexes the rest of Athens and begins building up its forces to link up its territories within the Balkans. *


 * Benevento now lies completely in the hands of Naples. The blockade of the Papal States begins. Naples national religion is changed to Orthodox Christianity and a massive conversion process begins. Several disorganized catholic revolts occur mostly in the north the military takes harsh steps to quell them.

 * Castille declares war on and invades Granada.


 * Moldavia joins the Venetians, hoping to weaken the agressive Hungarian state. Along with the Wallachian resistance, the "Allied" forces attack into former Wallachia and the Moldavian-Hungarian border. Along the Moldavian-Hungarian border progress is slow; in Wallachia, the hungarians are forced from the eastern half of the former country by the years end. Moldavia especially uses new Heavy Calvary, and begins strengthening its positions in case Hungary should counter attack.

  
 * France, although weakned and beginning reconstruction of the nation, offers support to both Venice and Moldoavia hoping to establish a strong French prescense in the Balkans and also to defeat the Muslim threat looming about.

 * Reconstruction in France and funding torwards improving its millitary steadly begins.

The Byzantines also relearn Greek Fire and begin rebuilding their navy. The Byzantines agree to Aragorns alliance and send the Patriarch to Naples to ease the transition into an Orthodox fate.
 * Mod Action: The Patriarch is unwelcomed in Naples, and barely escapes. Meanwhile, Naples has transitioned into a monarchy ruled by a new dynasty as the old ones were put to the sword in the countless bloodshed (this is a ban, as you have not acted according to reasonable limits after years of warnings)

 * England sends its army to conquer Scotland, with morale high from what many see as a victorious war with France, the English make many advances.
 * French reconstruction continues with repairs being estimated to finish by 1436 as the earliest date. Meanwhile, the Frenc navy continues to grow along with the army with some thanks going to the small funds contributing to there growth.

The Margravate is basically a partially-sovereign empowered military force, and takes possetion of all military forts in the area. Transylvania, Wallachia, and Moldavia sign the treaty of Cricova, which unifies the countries under the Moldavian crown and unites their militaries. This effectively makes them puppets of Moldavia.

 * The Knights if St. John agree, but only if they keep their ruler (I continue playing as The Knights of St. John)
 * The Byzantine empire begins attacking parts of OTL Greece and conquering it.
 * In recent times Frederick III has taken the crown of Austria and subsequently of the Holy Roman Empire. After nine years of rule, he calls for an "Imperial Grand Army" which will begin to conscript peasants for 5 years service, and will ask for volunteers from the Knights of the realm. There is a bitter debate in the Reichstag about this particular measure, as the German princes seem to feel that this tramples on their own sovereignty. It seems that the issue at first has been stalled.
 * Portugal's economy continues to grow as money pours in from cities sacked in North Africa.

1440

 * the Kalmar Union amps up its army.meanwhile, the Livonian region is invaded.parts of OTL Latvia are conquered.
 * Frederick III pushes through his Reichsreform policies, which slightly centralizes the Holy Roman Empire, while giving the Emperor the authority to raise a permenant standing army, but this army must be approved by the individual Princes within the Empire. The call is placed almost immediately, with most German Princes accepting his authority to raise an army, although it remains to be seen if the Italian states and the larger German states will obey this command.
 * Maranid forces fall back into their interior as Portugal captures more of their costline.
