Ninety-Five Theses (Map Game)

The wiki has drastically changed since the end of Principia Moderni III. We've been losing a lot of users, and have only seen a huge influx of new ones. I have never seen a massive high game since then. The staff of Ninety-Five Theses promises you the best quality game since PM, and hopes that you'll enjoy your experience while a part of the game.

-Staff of Ninety-Five Theses

The Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences were written by Martin Luther and posted on the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg. Martin Luther's actions created a chain reaction that led to almost a century-and-a-half of fighting that weakened both the Holy Roman Empire and the Roman Catholic Church. What direction will you take in this quest? How will you face the looming, and ever growing, Protestant Reformation? How will you interpret the Ninety-Five Theses?

New Mods - Minor Intermission
 Announcement:  Hey guys, thanks for playing so far, the game has hit a road bump as many within chat will no doubt be willing to inform you, ha ha. However, SkyGreen24 and I, Simmy1993, are going to attempt to fill the void. However, this will take a day or so, a simple postponing. So instead of 1532 going live in three hours, we're going to post the events for this year tomorrow when we should have been carrying out 1533.

This gives Sky and me a chance to come to terms with all the algos, etc. However, I'd like to float some points that I'd like you to consider, and if you strongly disagree, (or strongly agree) feel free to say such on the talk page. Going forward I'd like to consider carrying out the following:


 * Mod Events will be in more depth. Rather than a vague message about unrest, specific events will force nations to deal with them, or face the consequences.
 * NPC responses fell by the wayside in the early 1520s. From here on out, responses will be constant if required. Simply tag your post with a bold (NPC RESPONSE REQUIRED) and it will be seen to. This could be trade, diplomacy, etc. It gives players more options going forward.
 * Plausibility has begun to spiral out of control and events such as the Protestant Reformation and plague will be dealt with through events and in a more controlled manner.

Hopefully, we will continue to have an awesome game, and if you have any more suggestions, please let us know.

Simmy1993

Just a suggestion, perhaps make the response be red i.e. (NPC RESPONSE REQUIRED)

This is easy to do, simply type the following: (NPC RESPONSE REQUIRED). I think this would work because red is quite a noticeable colour. SkyGreen24

A great idea! To answer another major question, a new map will be crafted for 1533. If your country is different currently due to expansion or conquest, please leave an updated map, or list of changes to my talk page and I'll hop to it tomorrow night with a view to release it for 1533. Simmy1993

 FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT:  As we prepare to launch back into the game with 1532 we're going to try out these new events that require reaction. We'll also deal with the plague outbreak and see to it future outbreaks are more structured, with definitive numbers of dead, etc. Look forward to reading all of your entries!

 FINAL FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT:  Please send all tier upgrade requests here: http://goo.gl/forms/ACvrG5o9eh

 FINAL FINAL FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT:  Please send all war requests here http://goo.gl/forms/3m0sOjmtGU


 * Nogai Confederation: The Nogai Confederation decides to focus on increasing the intelligence of the population, as many are nomadic and uneducated people. We continue to improve our military, to defend ourselves against Muscovy. The Nomadic Confederation officially establishes a devolved region in Astrakhan lands.

 * Brunswick-Lüneburg: with Brunswick-Gottingen liberated from Saxon suzerainty, the state is placed under Brunswick-Lüneburgs authority, as per the treaty of Berlin, and the preceding secret deal with Austria. However, with Münster under attack, and whose Archbishop has proved instrumental in the messaging between Duke Julius and the Pope, Julius decides he cannot allow the state of a personal ally to fall, and joins in the defense of Münster.


 * France: This year, Francis the first died. Because his eldest son, also called Francis, had died earlier, Henry takes the throne. He continues to consolidate power over the still relatively new Naples. He does this by inserting Charles of France, his brother, as the Duke of Naples. Henry also makes the Duchy of Naples an office that will always be given to the heir apparent of the French throne, similar to the Principality of Wales to England. Because Charles is not the heir, he will be replaced as soon as Henry's children are old enough. Meanwhile, the military, particularly the Navy is strengthened. We start active ship building in our various ports, hoping to create as many as 15 new naval ships a year. Meanwhile, we add more men to the army, putting our total number of troops at approximately 124,000. Another project is also started, with the goal of improving infrastructure through a road system across France. The first road is to be from Orleans to Paris, and is already midway through construction. Other roads are also being built, mostly across the northern portion of France, but with a major highway leading from north to south. As another project to complement this plan, satiation in major cities is improved. This is mostly done by improving sewer disposal systems in major city, but regulations are also put into place about where animals can go in major cities. Satiation workers are also employed, with as many as 300 working in each of the largest cities. Additionally, a new education program is introduced. While it is influenced by Catholic teachings, it is at least in part secular. Children of any christian religion from the ages of 6-12 are aloud to enroll. The schools are mostly one room school houses, serving nearby areas, but the larger ones have several rooms, with the students separated by age. Our economy is also improved, both through trade and internal development. Following our opening of trade in Benin, our economy improves due to the influx of slaves from the region. Because of this, laws regarding slavery are introduced, mostly designed to prevent complete abuse of the slaves. Trade with Mutsu and China also improves our economy, though the effects are more muted because of the distance between our nations. We continue to encourage trade with other nations, focusing on Venice and nations within the Holy Roman Empire. We continue efforts to explore the world, with another expedition toAmerica set up this year. Based from New Normandy, another exploration mission is set up, this time discovering the Straits of Eischens(OTL Straits of Magellan). We plan to come back to the region next year to set up a colony. In order to deal with both plagues, the one in Naples and the one in France, victims of the plagues are Quarantined until recovery, and everyone is encouraged to be as clean as possible. This significantly slows the advance of the Plague, and we work towards making a full recovery.
 * Port Francis (Formerly New Orleans): After the death of king Francis, this colony is renamed in his honor. While the growing city still serves mostly as a trading post, it expands 10 pixels inland, and 20 pixels following the Mississippi. Luca Eischens, the explorer who opened trade with Benin becomes governor of this small colony.
 * New Normandy: After the formation of this colony, it mostly becomes a port as a further base for expansion. However, it is also used as a trading post for the limited population of natives nearby. This colony expands 20 pixels along the coast and ten pixels inland
 * Consider this your first warning: this post and the post immediately proceeding it match 92.08%, according to this tool. If your next post is that similar, you will be temporarily suspended from the game. Thank you, Rexmod.
 * This is really your priority right now? Really?
 * Aceh: We claim victory over the Pagaruyung Kingdom and oust the local Maharaja and institute Islam in place of Buddhism. However, in order to avoid angering Ayutthaya, we allow the free practice of Buddhism, but heavily encourage conversion to Islam. We begin the construction of mosques all throughout Pagaruyung, and incorporate it into Aceh as the Pagaruyung Territory. As Pagaruyung had control over the local gold trade, we appropriate that control, and thus become significantly wealthier. We begin rebuilding Pagaruyung and our army recovers, readying itself for the next invasion.


 * Korean Diplomacy: We would like to establish trading relations; you would give us gold and "exotic" tropical goods (such as fruits and timber) in exchange for minerals, highly-sought after Celadon porcelain as well as excess steel.
 * You're algo was substantially off the mark, and you were repulsed by Pagaruyung by a large margin. -Rexmod
 * Japan (Ashikaga): Economy, infrastructure and military improve. Population continues to grow very fast. More residential buildings, cultural and public buildings, commercial buildings and mining plants are built. Roads and farms are built or improved and cities continue to grow. Education is improved and more educational buildings are built. Continues influencing Noto (Turn Two of Three) and accepted offer from Brunei. Continues improving relations and trading with all Japanese states, Korea, China, Ayutthaya and West European powers.
 * Joseon: The government-sponsored promotion of Confucian values, such obedience to the state, plus artistry, scholarship, and academic achievement; components of a good work ethic, continues to gain momentum. Neo-Confucianism, the official state ideology, continues to rapidly grow in popularity, with its ideals being harshly enforced in all sectors of society, not just the nobility. Education, specifically secondary and tertiary education, is continued to be highly encouraged and is now regarded as essential to join the higher ranks of society. In order to increase the supply of skilled labourers, tertiary education is now allowed for all sectors of society and the ability to read and write is continued to be taught to many people as possible. As adult literacy increases so does the number of printing presses, allowing the more rapid spread of knowledge and information. With the number of students surging, a boom in the construction of libraries, schools, and universities begin. Large-scale mining activities in the North continue, supplying Southern industrial complexes with raw materials but also giving the Korean government a source of revenue to fund its modernisation programs. The construction of the third and fourth industrial complexes in Seoul and Pyongyang continue in an increasingly rapid pace, waterwheel-powered blast furnaces melting wrought and cast iron together are constructed, increasing the steel output drastically. While the majority of the produced steel is used as construction material, all surplus steel is used for strengthening weapons. Its navy increases its power as more ships, mostly based on Chinese models, are built, and the production of gunpowder weapons such as weaponised fireworks, guns, and cannons increases. In order to link the growing urban centres, canals and paved roads are built between them, easing the flow of goods for trade and commerce. Korea proposes a trade agreement with France, offering it to sell highly-sought Celadon porcelain in exchange for timber and agricultural produce. Trade with Brunei, the Ottomans, the Japanese, and the Portuguese continue surges, while trade with the Chinese drops. Korea increases military patrols in the Korean Sea, and expands 100 px into Manchuria, 15 px into Hokkaido, 100 px into Taiwan, and 50 px into Sakhalin.
 * You're dead. Your nation no longer exists. You cans switch nations though. ~Fires
 * Spain: Trade is going very well with our allies and in our colonies. The economy is continuing to try to be stable like it was before the war. The military continues to offer more jobs to the people of the nation. Ships continue to go around to different islands in the Caribbeans and continue to colonize them. The islands that are continuing to get colonized are the Cayman Islands, the Virgin Islands, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, and Trinidad and Tobago. Rebuilding the nation is continuing with more jobs open for more people. More ships are continuing to be built in the shipping yards. Our markets flourish with many goods from our colonies. The building of more guns for the military goes along very well. Many of our top scientists are still trying to find a cure for all of our sickly colonists. Many doctors from the motherland leave for our colonies. Vaccines are being made by doctors from the University of Santo Tomás de Aquino. Now that the virus is spreading in Europe we start to keep the sickly in their  own areas in our nation.
 * Hispaniola: On the island, we continue to explore the inland forests. Along the coast of the island port cities are still developing. More ships are being built, so that we can send all the resources found on the island can be used by people in our home nation. Our troops try to work with the natives by trading with them to show that they are not taking advantage of the natives helping the colonists. Farms are beginning to get bigger with each year of planting. Monasteries are continuing to be built to convert the natives of the land to Christianity.
 * Cuba: On the island, we continue to explore the inland forests.Along the coast of the island port cities are still developing. More ships are being built so that we can send all the resources found on the island can be used by people in our home nation.

Our troops try to work with the natives by trading with them to show that they are not taking advantage of the natives helping the colonists. Farms are beginning to get bigger with each year of planting. Monasteries are continuing to be built to convert the natives of the land to Christianity.
 * New Spain: Exploration of the newly lands is still continuing. Small port villages are being made for trade purposes. We allow the natives to stay on our land but, they would have to help us build up the land and assimilate with us colonists. Churches pop up in many areas so we can convert the natives. We expand our colony both 100 px north, west and south.
 * Bermuda: Along the coast of the island port cities are still developing. More ships are being built, so that we can send all the resources found on the island can be used by people in our home nation. Colonists try to make a living on the uninhabitable island. Farms are beginning to get bigger with each year of planting. Monasteries are continuing to be built to convert the natives of the land to Christianity.
 * Canary Islands: Along the coast of the island port cities are still developing. More ships are being built, so that we can send all the resources found on the island can be used by people in our home nation. Our troops try to work with the natives by trading with them to show that they are not taking advantage of the natives helping the colonists. Farms are beginning to get bigger with each year of planting. Monasteries are continuing to be built to convert the natives of the land to Christianity.
 * Florida: Exploration of the lands is still continuing. Small port villages are being made for trade purposes. We allow the natives to stay on our land but, they would have to help us build up the land and assimilate with us colonists. Churches pop up in many areas so we can convert the natives. We expand our colony both 100 px north and 100 px east.
 * Bissagos: Exploration of the lands is still continuing. Small port villages are being made for trade purposes. We allow the natives to stay on our land but, they would have to help us build up the land and assimilate with us colonists. Churches pop up in many areas so we can convert the natives. We expand our colony both 100 px east and 100 px south.

 * This post is 99.02% similar to your previous post. Consider this to be a major warning: future copy/paste to this extent will result in a suspension. Please vary your posts. Rexmod 16:31, March 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Somdet Phra Chairacha of Ayutthaya launches yet another surprise war, this time targetting the nation of Pegu to the northwest. More to come.
 * Mutsu: Expands 15 px into Hokkaido. Mutsu continues to run into Hokkaido natives and starts trying to assimilate them into Mutsu culture. Gun production continues as the goal is met this year having 37,000 guns or enough to supply the army.
 * Benin: Benin continues to wage its counterattack against Songhai. Material support from France is funneled to the frontlines to assist in replenishing the forces of Benin, and supplies are sent by ship to the troops fighting in Senegal. Back home, seven additional small ships are built for the Imperial Navy of Benin. The census for Benin for the year of 1540 is held, and the report is given to the Oba. It counts a total of 14,509,488 total subjects in the empire, the majority of the growth coming from the newly acquired territory in Oyo. The total number of warriors is estimated to be about 200,000, while the number of sailing vessels in the navy totals 94 ships, not counting the riverine vessels of the navy. The expansion of the empire's road networks and infrustructure continues, with investment into the development of the nation, though pulled back in light of the war, continues under the Oba's close management of the public works throughout Benin. More than 70% of the population identifies as Catholic, delighting the Oba and his court. Expansion of the Catholic Church's grip in Benin continues, with the construction of many parish churches throughout the nation, and four major cathedrals in Edo, Eko, Mahin, and Oji-Ala, as well as several other planned cities in the nation. The Olorokun units in Cameroon continue their work of hunting for new slaves to sell to Europe, expanding the borders of Benin by 100 px into Cameroon, where thousands of tribal natives are rounded up in their villages, and sent off to the coast in chains to be sold into slavery from the city of Njos. The lack of communication between tribes and the swift nature of the Olorokun in the jungles, prevents the spread of information and warning of the Benin forces moving toward villages. Construction of the Imperial Palace in Edo continues, with the new wings of the palace under construction, while the palace gardens have been completed.
 * The Republic of the Fourteen United Netherlands:   Trade is optimized, especially in Antwerpen and Rotterdam. The navy sustains our colonies, and is expanded. Exploration of South America has lead to the discovery of the OTL Falkland Islands. Exploration of Africa has lead to the discovery of the Congo and of Madagascar. Seeing our recent peace with Austria, we immedaitely begin recovering from the small war. The reentry into the HRE sees us gain more interest into relations with the German states. As such, we offer extensive trade to the PRINCE-BISHOPRIC OF BREMEN and the FREE CITY OF LÜBECK(MOD RESPONSE NEEDED FOR BOTH OF THEM).


 * ​Kaap de Goede Hoop: We expand by 20px along the coast. We benefit from our trade with the Maputo. Governor Matthias Terhuisen enjoys his Maputo wife. We send missionaries to convert the Maputo.
 * Nieuw-Brussel: We continue trading with the natives, we expand by 75px deeper into Bevereiland(OTL Long Island) and Johannes Verkaack is appointed governor of Nieuw-Brussel.
 * Both Lübeck and Bremen accept the Dutch offer. (Rexmod)
