Radioactive Tide Reloaded! (Map Game)

Radioactive Tide was a map game where Humans never went into technological dark ages, and advanced much faster. Due to this, advanced civilisations found a way to pass on their technology, and scientists that would have died before making a discovery were not. This caused humans to reach a peak of technology at around 1300 AD, but unfortunately a few centuries after humans managed to almost destroy themselves completely. Luckily, however, the earth survived, albeit a little radiated and scarred in places. Now, humans reappear on the surface and once more begin their struggle for dominance through military, economy, politics, and technology using the rediscovered technology of times past. The lessons of the past have been forgotten, and the humans of the present need you to lead them into the future. Only time will show who is worthy of Earth.

This is the third incarnation of the great map game: Radioactive Tide. I created this because the second one failed miserably, and who doesn't love a good post-apocalyptic map game (Especially after December 21, 2012)! This game pretty much uses Radioactive Tide Revised's excellent rule system, but with some minor tweaks. Our journey begins 335 years after Doomsday, or 1635 AD and begins the same old struggle for dominance. Are you worthy enough for domination?

Basic Rules

 * 1) BE PLAUSIBLE! But remember plausibility does not have to impede fun.
 * 2) Try to get new people to join the game, as it is newbs that keep map games alive.
 * 3) One day in real life is one half year or turn in Radioactive Tide. Mods will post new turns at 4:00 PM GMT. If a mod has not posted, you may post a new turn.
 * 4) Technology at the beginning of the game is about early Middle Ages level (about 500-900 AD)
 * 5) Keep in mind the effects of conquest, realistically portray assimilation.
 * 6) Expansion would be difficult, depending on the location. For example, an nation in Greenland would have a much harder time expanding then an nation in the Great Plains
 * 7) Only one major action per turn, you may split it though between multiple smaller actions.
 * 8) If no actions for 10 years (unless reason given, e.g. holiday) then the nation is open for takeover.
 * 9) If no actions for 30 years (unless reason, same as above) then the nation becomes a grey nation.
 * 10) A new map is made every five years (10 turns) by a mod titled "Mapmaker", and complaints can be made on the complaints section or on the talkpage!
 * 11) Each player should be specific about expansion or post maps onto the map makers talkpage or the map game talkpage.
 * 12) There will be a war algorithm, and players will have to abide by it. Until then, mods will use Random.com
 * 13) Your economy will need to be tended to.
 * 14) Internal politics ARE important.
 * 15) Flags can only change with a mod's approval, or with a government change.
 * 16) Technology can be player developed or randomly re-discovered (done by mods).
 * 17) Every nation starts off with 350px maximum, and mods can create neutral nations.
 * 18) Every nation is allowed 1 vassal at the start (maximum 200px), and 5 in the whole game. However, only 1 new vassal can be gained every 15 years.
 * 19) This game will stop in year 600.
 * 20) Nation pages are recommended. Post them in this format: Example States of Exampleland (Radioactive Tide Reloaded)

Winter 335, LET THA GAMEZ BEGIN!!!
This turn is not a normal one, you use it for telling the founding of your nation, and the discovery of your vassal, or if your nation is already formed, it is a normal turn.

'''Be sure to check out the National Information link above. There is more to come. For now, please insert a short description of your nation in the designated area.'''


 * Cascadia: Many people in a small tribe known as Till'mok living in the Coast Range of Oregon heads east due to an incredibly harsh winter. The elders condemn it, it is against their religion, but the tribes' religion has not been taken very seriously lately. Many people leave secretly. They discover a small trading post outside a the ruins of a city they later learn that was called Eugene. People there teach them the art of writing, and the history of the area. The tribe decides that it would be best to unite the area to end the wars between the many tribes. Thus, the Cascadian League is formed.


 * Kazakhi Khanate: The Khanate travels across the ancient stepps and find a large ruined town of Astana in northern OTL Kazakhstan and Horatio Khan decides that it is finally time for the nomadic people to settle somewhere, and this is the place, due to it being a small Khanate the people only inhabit a fraction of the city, but they explore and call this land their own.
 * In Russen, Mikhail II authorizes the eastwards venture from the border lands. Meanwhile, we begin to build up a new military, and several weapons from the Lost Times are discovered in a mine situated in northern Latvia. I want to fix Russen on the map.
 * Go ahead
 * The United States of Albemarle are created, stabilizing the government of the islands. Previous policy was for the leaders of the islands to meet and make a decision, which gave way to military intimidation, causing the most powerful state, Roanoke, to become the ruling state. A recent overthrow of Roanoke, staged by the combined forces of Ocracoke, Hatteras, Currituck - Corolla, Norfolk - Newport News, Virginia Beach, and Elizabeth City, has established a unicameral government run by two consuls and the senate, comprised of three senators from each state (Ocracoke was offered statehood shortly after the overthrow, even though it was an outside power). Wilmington was a coastal community south of Albemarle. It was offered vassalage instead of statehood due to its distance from the other states. The hub of the scientific community is based around UNC Wilmington, which is continuously trying to unlock the secrets of days past.
 * Gran Colombia:in the north venezuelan and Colombian population formed a confederacy when many city states agree free of trade and a joint military to avoid intrusion from the tribal groups in the south, but shortly afterwards one of the city states got stronger and forced the others to form a united nation the great colombian Federation, a small fleet of 10 ships was set to protect the ports and a small army of 3000 man formed to defend the borders, and scientific institution formed in the capital city of Maracaibo.
 * The Kingdom of California was formed by survivors in and around the former city of Santa Cruz. During the early years of the kingdom, the Santa Cruz Army expanded up and down the coast of Central and Southern California, stopping at the ruins of a ounce great city called Los Angeles and north at a bay ounce alled San Francisco Bay. The Kingdom of California is a constitutional republic and the Palace of the Pacific was built on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in a coastal community called Malibu. The military is based out of Vandenburg Air Force Base - which retained its orginial name for cultural reasons, and the science community is based out of University of California, Santa Cruz.
 * I'm pretty sure a country can't be a monarchy and republic at the same time.
 * Oh, crap. I meant kingdom.
 * You may want to fix that.
 * The Ionian Federation is formed by the people on each of the 7 Ionian islands banding together into a constituent state to combat pirates and raiders. A small settlement in the ruined city of Igoumenitsa also joins. The Federation has its capital in Kerkyra, which has the most population.

Summer 336

 * Cascadia: Cascadia manages to absorb several more tribes into their fold. One of them, the Kulamth tells of the ruins of a "war base" to the southeast. Cascadia sends an exploring party to the southeast, hoping to use them in a possible war with the Till'mok. Meanwhile, the government is reformed. Each tribe sends a senator to the Great Council every two years, and they elect a President, a title used for leader in the old days. Emergency meetings may be held.
 * Kingdom of California: The Kingdom of California expands southward along the Pacific Coast towards the ruins of the former city of San Diego, stopping at about the ruins of Newport Beach. Exploration and scavenging teams enter the outskirts of the former city of Santa Monica, which although within the territories of California, it was not officially explored and scavenged due to raiders, nomads, and cannibals. The exploration team discovers a number of abandoned boats floating in a place, called Marina Del Rey, and pier expanding out into the Pacific Ocean. The boats are floated back - under supervision - to California Naval Base Point Mugu, about a half-hour journey from the ruins of Santa Monica to the base. The scavenger team also stumbles onto a large open space, with numerous metals structures laid about across the landscape, a tall building with blown out glasses, smaller buildings with structural damage, and a flying-saucered shape structure. Further exploration reveals that the salvage team has arrived to the abandoned-remains of Los Angeles International Airport. Due to the vast size, the airport, the scavengers return to Vandenburg to ask about further establishing an outpost within LAX, so that further scavenging of the airport and surrounding area could continue. Back within the secured borders of the Republic, research begin to reverse engineer the motors of these abandoned boats, to find out if they can be produced or restored to working condition. The Department of Rescources begins to survey the land in southern California for any signs of natural rescources in the areas surrounding the RoC.
 * Russen discovers that a seperate "nation" exists exactly east of it when the expeditions return. Through tangles of diplomacy (and some threats), they agree to join the Empire. It turns out they have damaged and empty firearms (muskets or something). We discover the ruins of the Kremlin in former Petrograd. A project to rebuild it starts and the Tsar and his family moves into a building close to it. In the Baltic Sea, we recover a quartet of boats. The vassal of Polski is annexed full into the nation, and the former vassal of the other nation (Pavlovskia), Finne, is recognized as a vassal of Russen.
 * The Deutsch Reich:    the German people begin to rebuild their civilization slowly around the old port city of Hamburg. The government is formed as an elected Empire, with an Emperor elected for a 20 year term, and is only elected once. The miltary discovers a vast amount of disrepaired NATO ships, which are immediently ordered to be refitted and added to the Deutsch Marine, but is expected to take a long time. The Committee for Foriegn Exploration orders an expedition east in hopes of finding the ancient capitol of Berlin. Expeditions are also sent south in hopes of restoring the German city of Munchen, and West to find Paris. The military finds a small cache of weapons, including old rilfles, stellenhandgranaten, and old pistols. The military begins to attempt to restore and recreate these armaments.     
 * The Osterreich: the Austrian people manage to contact German expeditionary parties, the German parties use a mix of diplomacy, bribery and threats. Due to the weak nature of the Osterreich's military, Osterreich agrees to uniting with Deutschland.
 * New York: A charismatic leader manages to unite the five nations that used to be the boroughs of the great city of New York. He is crowned as the first Emperor of New York. The Empire of New York receives visitors from the neighboring nation of Sylvania. The Sylvanians had declared themselves a monarchy but had no candidates for monarch. Emperor William generously gives his younger son Henry to serve as the Grand Duke of Sylvania, thus establishing the Sylvanians as a vassal of New York. New York begins expanding southwards, and Sylvania begins expanding eastwards towards New York via the remains of the ancient road system.
 * Dude, the world ended in 1300. Ain't no "New York" there. Unless everything happened faster ATL.
 * I don't know but the description stated the world was advanced, so that is why I mentioned NATO in my post(Andr3w777 here, idk who new York is) I may have read wrong, if so, i will rectify
 * that means that it predates the discovery of America. If a California can exist in this game then so can New York. If the cities of San Diego and Los Angeles exist in this world then so can New York. So please get off of my back.
 * None of these places should exist. HEY EVERYBODY! These New World countries aren't supposed to have these names!
 * Shut up.  No one was bitching and moaning when the rest of the American countries chose their names. If you don't just let people name their nations what they want this game is going to peter out just like the rest. I don't think being harped at by an asshole is a very fun gaming experience. Besides, it's a lot easier to make names based off of OTL names.
 * While agreeing that none of the New World nations should have these names - mine included. It's been in the game series since the first one and no one complained about who names what. We don't even know who colonized the New World, whether the world was ruled by Natives or Europeans. All we know is that the world went to war, the war went nuclear, and now we have our have present situation. Please, lets stop bickering over something as simple as a name, and lets enjoy the game.
 * In the first game, the backstory was that the world had the exact same things that happened to it in OTL, there was no "Dark Age", and events passed by much faster, so by 1300 the world was a highly advanced and futuristic, before they managed to destroy civilization with a war, so yes, the New World was discovered, although the story will probably be different in this game.
 * Kazakhi Khanate: The Khanate discovers an armory full of guns, infact enough for almost every warrior, though many are in disrepair and jamming is not uncommon, but the guns are disected and attempts to understand how they work begin, and with it the Society of Study which begins looking into before-time weapons. With the Kazakhi Khanate now armed Horatio Khan manages to unite many other smaller Khanates under his rule, granting recently defeated Khans their own Districts of Khanate territory (currently just Astana and surrounding countryside), also the united khanates end up granting a population boom, and over half os Astana is now occupied. Raiding parties are sent in all directions and return with slaves, food, water, and plant seeds, allowing for cultivation. The Kazakhi Khanate expands to the southeast.
 * Kingdom of the Greater Yucatan: Expands a little south, where they discover a base full of weapons, they give these out to warriors. The city they found this in is higly advanced and becomes their capital. They begin research on the times of their ancestors.
 * Federation of GC:the federation armies explore the guajira in attempts to found military vehicles,they found three small states fighting for the resources in northern Venezuelan, the three Kingdoms being falcon, Portuguesa and Merida, the Kingdom of Falcon is brought into the Federation as many of the armed forces are barely prepared to withstand the invasion of the Portuguesan and Meridan Armies trying to geta greater coast in the north,the army prepares to protect its new member and many weapons are recovered from the Northern regions, aswell that the navy of 10 ships begin researching to increase the Time spend of their travelling as many of the ships are unable to travel more than 3 days and the Government wishes to Stablish relation with Other Important nations, while in the west chocoan Traders arrive telling the Story of a Powerfull Empire on the West coast of what once as Colombia, bringing tropical fruit an Gold, expansion into the south begins as the nation wants to access petroleum from norte de santander, research is done to re establish the powergrid.
 * The Ionian Federation expands northward from Igoumenitsa slightly. A palace begins to be built for the King and Queen of the Federation. Explorers continue to explore areas of Kerkyra, and find a naval base, which is immediately donated to the Army. The King asks various scholars to find out about the past, and are given various sacred items known as books to work with.
 * Pretty sure a country can't be a federation and a monarchy at the same time, I think you may be thinking of a feudel monarchy.
 * The United States of Albemarle expands north, looking for better fishing grounds. They expand along the Chesapeake Bay, which has bountiful resources of food. The states decide to raise a local Militia to help protect the islands from raiders. The people start scavenging for boats to be used as a ferry service in between the islands. The scientists at UNC Wilmington begin experimenting with various relics found, trying to duplicate them for use by the States.

Winter 336

 * Mod Event: A hurricane hits the east coast of North America. New York and the Unites States of Albemarle are hit on some coastal cities.
 * Mod Event: English and Irish survivors establish the Republic of North Ireland in the former British territory.
 * Remember to check the new National Information Page for stat updates. Starting next turn, you will get one free political point for having a flag, and two for creating a Nation Page. --Your Friendly Neighborhood Mod.
 * Cascadia: The party looking for the weapons finds an abandoned airstrip. Nearby there are some military weapons. They return to New Eugene (the capital, the camp outside Old Eugene which is inhabited by outlaws, mutants, and dangerous animals). An army is formed and armed with the weapons, and they prepare to clear Old Eugene.
 * The United States of Albemarle is hit by the hurricane, but picks up and continues on like they do after all of the frequently occuring hurricanes. The southern states, who were hit the hardest, have to take time to repair for several weeks. The economy improves with the incoming resources from the Chesapeake. The States expand north along the coast of the Chesapeake.
 * The Russen expands south and north. The Finne also expands. We begin to reconstruct the firearms. We also find an old biplane, but we have no proper fuels for it. However, we begin to reverse-engineer some smaller planes of similar build, but that run on other fuels. However, we are unable to use any of these planes. We also build more boats.
 * The Kingdom of California Army launches an series of offensives against raiders in and around former Downtown Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the reverse engineering of the boat motors, while a prospector in LAX discovers pistols and semi-automatic rifles in the security room of LAX, and these weapons are immeaditly handed over to the custody of the California Army. The weapons are sent to Point Mugu for reverse engineering and the possibility of reproducing such weapons. Reconstruction of the city of Santa Monica begins to make room for the growing population of the KoC. An large oil field is discovered in former Long Beach and the California Oil Company is established by entrepenuers and sets up a small town around the oil field, and calls the small boom town: Oil City. The California Oil Company begins prospecting for oil, among other rescources, in eastern and northern California. Upon the request of the King, factories begin to produce parts for the oil well in small numbers, as well as continuing to produce other products, such as bolt-action rifles, saddles, and farming tools. Despite the discovery of oil, agricultural is still the dominant in economy, and the Farmers Union is established to protect the interests of farmers from both the government and other growing buisnesses.
 * The Empire of New York begins the work of rebuilding from the damage caused by the Hurricane. While clearing the remains of a destroyed building workers rediscover the gold vault of the former New York Federal Reserve. The New Yorkers are able to use this gold to begin production of a new currency, the New York Dollar, with tools recovered in the former Mint facility in West Point. They also produce a set of crown jewels for the Emperor with the gold and salvaged materials. One of the most popular pieces is the Crown of Liberty, which was created from copper and iron salvaged from the collapsed remains of the Statue of Liberty. New religious cults begin arising in the Empire. One being the Cult of Libertas, who beleive that the Statue of Liberty was an effigy of a goddess who guides and protects the city. The former plinth of the statue was restored as the official Temple of Libertas. The other cult is a religion that altered the ancient faith of Christianity into a polytheistic religion incorporating the Apostles as gods. The Sylvanians begin reactivating the oil wells under their control, as well as reactivating as much of the old industry as possible.
 * Can you guys please read the history I put up here and tell me what you think of it? I was hoping we could make it the official of the game.
 * I like it, I think it would work. Enclavehunter (talk) 19:21, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it's great, and I think we should make a history page.
 * The Deutsch expand south and east toward the remains of Poland. the ships discovered last year continue to be renovated after the discover of blueprints in the ruins of the National Archive in Berlin. Austria is ordered to expand west. Exploration parties out East claim they've met a nation in what was once Russia, they plan to meet properly next year. The Government finds a collection of old maps and begins to use them to map out the new Germany and other nations. The western party finds the ruins of Paris and reports back that it appears abandoned.
 * What technology level do you think Radioactive Tide Reloaded should be set in? I said early Medieval era tech, but all past Radioactive Tide games, and other similar ones had WW1 era tech. What do you guys want and think is most realistic?
 * Interbellum. [[Image:IMPERIAL NY-SPQR 1.png|25px]][[Image:Regen Flag.png|30px|border]] Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 19:59, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * hmmm I say post WWI but before WWII.Andr3w777 (talk)
 * That is the interbellum. [[Image:IMPERIAL NY-SPQR 1.png|25px]][[Image:Regen Flag.png|30px|border]] Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 02:36, January 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * I was thinking maybe the Victorian Era.
 * Kazakhi Khanate: Several other smaller khanates are brought under the banner of Horatio Khan, granting another population boom. A Zorastrian temple and a Buddhist temple are found in Astana, and a religion is founded that is a blend between the two. Some scavengers went to the Astana airport and found some old ruined airplanes, a man got in a small one and accidently took off, but he managed to crash safely. Horatio Khan orders that the Society of Study begins looking into these strange things. An iron mine is found and put back into use, and weapons from a police station are added to the army. Raiding parties are sent in all directions and return with loot. The Kazakhi Khanate expands and absorbs Karagandy. Horatio Khan grants the Lower Khans diffirent land in diffirent locations and keeps Astana under his supreme rule.
 * These things haven't been used in 300 years. You could reverse engineer it, but it would not be going anywhere on it's own.
 * A group of armed peasants in the old area of southwestern Iran rises as a man called Shapur proclaims himself Shah of Persia early in winter. The Shah finds a map from before the Apocalypse detailing the surrounding area, as well as a few copies of three books, the Avesta and the Gathas (which belonged to a supposed Zoroastrian faith) and a copy of the Bible. Both remain separate religions, although the Shah declares them official. With the map, the Shah directs himself towards the ruined city of Shiraz.
 * Federation of GC: The army expands southwestwards as many forces want to reach the petroleum deposits in NTS, some vehicles are founded and despite a small leel of success on starting them many are severely damaged, several scientist are sented to reverse engineer the Cars and the fleet and military are build up as many of the Portuguesans and Meridans have tried to invade the nominal member of the federation the kingdom of Falcon.
 * Iberian Empire: The Republic of Gibaltrar undergoes a revolution and becomes the Iberian Empire. The construction of the new administrative building is under way. Dubbed the 'Pillars of Hercules', these twin towers will house the emperor, the judges, and the Senate. They are to be the tallest post-doomsday towers to date.

Summer 337
Heads Up:

'''We're introducing a new algorithm. Please go to the National Information Page to check it out.'''

'''Mod Event: Greeks of Constantinople officially reestablish the Byzantine Empire in the area around the capital. They plan on recovering their territory in Anatolia as soon as possible. The high Greek population of this territory makes the prospects of recovery all the easier.'''
 * Cascadia: Cascadia clears Eugene, and much of the population is moved there. Cascadia's capital is planned to move there next year, with New Eugene becoming a military base. Military continues to be given new weapons.
 * Kingdom of California: Research and Developement continues to reverse engineer a series of pistols, semi-automatic assualt rifles, while reverse engineering of the motor from the yatchs is finished, and is determined that limited production of these devices can begin next winter. The newly discovered oil field is restarted after 50% of the abandoned wells were repaired, and the remaining 50% will be repaired and restarted next winter. The raiders in Downtown Los Angeles have been destroyed and the KoC Army begins to sweep through Pasedena and the City of Industry, which by next year, will effectively given the Kingdom of California control over the entire LA Basin. The King orders the establishment of factories to employ unemployed Californians, while rebuildment of schools begins. Other unemployed Californians are put back to work by removing the ruins of Los Angeles, developing irrigation, and turn the majority of the LA Basin into farmland. The remains of the US Bank Tower, however, are ordered to be rebuilt, hoping to make it the tallest building in former North America. The King orders the drafting of a constitution, which will turn the monarchy into a republic, and keep the King as head of state, but the establishment of Prime Minister, Parliament, the Supreme Court or a unitary parliamentary democracy.
 * Empire of New York: The Empire of New York continues to rebuild the ruins of New York City. New York begins the processes of reverse engineering the weapons found in armories of the former National Guard. Until these efforts are fruitful most New Yorker soldiers are equipped with rifle muskets produced by local factories. The average New Yorker soldier looks like he stepped out of a textbook on the Ciivil War. The New Yorkers continue expanding their territory northwards into former New York, and the Sylvanians continue to expand their territory into former Pennsylvania. The Sylvanians officially reclaim the ruins of the city of Philadelphia, and begin the process of reinhabiting it. They recover the priceless artifact known as the Liberty Bell. The building in which it is located, once known as Independance Hall, is turned into the location of the Philadephia chapter of the Cult of Libertas.
 * Russen expands inland. The ruins of Far Petrograd are found, but we stay away. Work continues on the Kremlin. We continue reverse engineering old weapons. Finne expands by far and large in all directions, meeting no hostility, people, or radioactive fallout material.
 * Kazakhi Khanate: Several more smaller khanates are conquered, but due to the rapid population growth food is rationed. Larger raiding parties are sent out more frequently, hunting groups are sent around the steppes in small groups to bring back food, and farms are being built, mostly growing wheat, but also some oilseed and cotton. A hot air balloon is discovered mostly intact somehow,  and it is quickly figured out how it works, and is reproduced but it is more dangerous, and further studies are going into them. The Society of Study manages to get a plain propeler working, as well as getting the wheels to go up and down. Handguns have been reverse engineered and a model similiar to the Walter-PPK is created, but it is called the First Khan and becomes standard issue to warriors, and with their new iron, weapons very advanced (for a khanate) are produced, and even some primitive platemail, with arrows now iron tipped and the first crossbow is created and given to snipers. Several laws are also passed, increasing rights for slaves, and the blend of Zorastrianism and Buddhism begins spreading quickly. The Khanate spreads north into Makinsk.
