Mapmaking
You might want to try Pixlr, for image editing. BoredMatt 00:48, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Not a problem ;) BoredMatt 00:08, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

I'm simply using Paint to create my maps. I've used several other programs, but nothing beats Paint, in my opinion. As long as you've got properly drawn blank maps (preferably saved as a .PNG), you can draw any map you want with it. --XterrorX 14:42, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

Ottoman Empire
Octiman10,

I noticed you wrote a request to write for the Ottoman Empire in the Explorers (1452 Map Game). Since Duchland is currently inactive, here are some of the rules: You may write one section for your nation(s) every turn. One turn=One Year. Example:

1453

 * The Ottoman Empire attacks the lands to its southeast.

It must be realistic. Example: The Ottomans cannot declare war on the entire world and attack every single nation in one year. Colored countries are playable, but white/green countries are small and weak nations which can be destroyed easily. You may choose up to two nations to play as and can only choose from the 'Unclaimed Nations' list on the Main page. When a new year starts, you can add another bit of information about your country.

You can make friends with other nations by asking them to become your ally. However, the other nation must respond and accept it for it to happen. You can also hire pirates to attack your enemy country's ships, but this will make that nation hate you. The idea of this game is to explore all the white areas and colonize overseas lands like in Asia, Africa, and America. Africa and America are unexplored and unknown territories and are easily conquered, but there are Asian nations like Japan or a Chinese kingdom which may be able to resist longer. Keep this in mind.

Contact me or look at the discussion page for the game if you have any more questions.--Emperor of Trebizond 01:01, October 5, 2010 (UTC)

You did very well for your first turn. Just keep in mind it must be realistic and you can't make another move until the next year is made.

By the way: That bright purple patch in northern Anatolia is not the Byzantine Empire, it's the Empire of Trebizond, a minor Byzantine rebel state. The Byzantines are the ones in dark purple.--Emperor of Trebizond 20:52, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

should i remove one of the sections i took? (octiman10 21:26, October 6, 2010 (UTC))

No, you did fine. Remember, countries in color are major nations that can really fight. Countries in white are really tiny and weak. So, it's realistic for the Ottomans to snatch two of these really small Anatolian provinces in one year.--Emperor of Trebizond 01:35, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you can propose an alliance and capture territories in the same turn. And by the way, you cannot capture the entire holy land in one year. You can capture it by the end of next year, 1454. However, you can only invade it this year, since it is so large. The 'Holy Land' stretches from Syria to Sinai, down there close to Egypt. The Egyptians currently control it, but they are pretty easily defeated militarily, since they also have to control western Arabia, all the way down to Mecca as well.--Emperor of Trebizond 00:08, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Take Judea next year, it's a more serious project. For now, about the most you can capture realistically is Syria. Don't worry, I already took care of it for you. You don't have to change anything else.--Emperor of Trebizond 02:05, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Octiman10. I noticed you recently wrote a post about capturing Thrace and the Byzantines' Turkish territories, where Constantinople is located. I added that the city is still independent because I wanted to give the user who is in charge of the Byzantines a chance to come back if he wants to. However, if you want to capture Constantinople itself in the next year and he has still made no reply, then the city is yours.--Emperor of Trebizond 00:34, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
