Principia Moderni (Map Game)

Principia Moderni, or "The Beginning of the Modern" in Late Latin, is a map game beginning in the final days of the Middle Ages in Europe, and the early days of the Ming dynasty in China--1420 C. E...The House of Hohenzollern have become the Electorates of Brandenburg--though most of the power in the Holy Roman Empire still lies with the Habsburgs, Joan of Arc has defeated the English at Orleans, the city of Tenochtitlan is founded by the Aztecs, the Timurid Empire has united Central and West Asia, and the Yongle Emperor sends out Zheng He to voyage westwards. It is a turbulent era, in other words, an era of change, and an era in which power is cemented.

 * The Vietnamese expand their Guiana colony by 28*50 sq km. Vietnamese soldiers launch an offensive from the strip of Chinese-occupied Aztec territory. They go southwards, as they intend to link up the strip of Chinese Aztec territory to the Chinese enclave in the Yucatan. Nipponese soldiers launch an offensive aiming at pacifing the areas of Japan north of the Edo line. They plan to work with Joseon's forces every step of the way, and promise to withdraw to positions south of the Edo line once the rival Daimyos are conquered. The Vietnamese make another offer to purchase Joseon's Phillipine territory on the behalf of the New Lithuanians, as they say that Joseon is set to gain more territory in Japan than what they would lose if they sell the Phillipine territory.
 * The Russians Finlay Conquer the Kamchatka Peninsula Coastline(other than Joeson Colonies...and Russia officially claims the rest of the peninsula). The Russian Tsar is bouncing with joy when he recieves news of it and officialy sends invitations to the Leaders of China, Venice, Naples, Anglo-Germany, Sweeden, Poland, Hungary, Joeson, Vietnam, Itsahagi/Orthagi, Changiti- and Kazakhstan, New Lithuania, and the Mons(all transportation and necesarry accomodations will be provided if they agree) to the next Pacific-Siberia day celebrations in Moscow(next year) and to a great feast and to see the new, Romanov Russia. The Tsar believes that if all invited World Leaders will attend it will give them the chance of seeing the wonders of Russia and discuss important issues between them. and tells his emmisaries to say the same. Russians have just discovered that the island of Sahalin belongs to a Japanese warlord after the colapse of the empire, but is deemed unimportant. More Anti-russian sentiment grows in West Changitistan as more people associated from the old governement move there. More ressettlement is happening in SIberia and Russia's Colonies as land is promised to newly freed farmers, although many are encouraged to stayin Russia, as such Novorossiya, Novaya Scandinavia, Canada, and Africanskaya Zemlya expand 750 km sq each.
 *  Way too early to conquer Kamchatka. There is a huge steppe in the way, and the Peninsula would be extremely hard to navigate. While conquering doesn't mean much given the nomadic nature of the inhabitants, you still don't have the transportation necessary. Also, your expansion exceeds limits insanely. I expect better of you if you're going to be carrying out the Industrian Revolution.
 * What are the limits to expanding through undeveloped territory adjacent to one's nation?
 * Considering that I have been expanding since 1540 or so and the first set date was 1600 for siberia I dont think it is that is too implausible, and remember all the expiditions I was sending to the area? so dont say its hard to navigate because better navigation was the purpose of the expiditions. Ok you got me on the fact that I forgot that I was on break untill 1652 so I fixed it to say Kamchatka coastlines. the Russians had koches to successfully navigate siberian waters and frozen waters of tthe okhotsk sea.
 * Naples' Economy has finally improved back to pre-crash conditions. They have lost much time they could have used colonizing when they attempted to save the economy, and Benvolio orders Ricasolia expanded by another 800 square miles. The King of Naples is too old to travel to Russia, and Angelo his son does not wish to go either due to a need to care for his father. He sends his brother-in-law Duke Mario di Sicilia to go the meeting in Russia instead.
 * The Chinese offensive in the Yucatan pushes southwards, towards OTL Panama. A final choke on the Mayan lands pushes into the city of Tayasal in April. The First Battle of Tayasal results in a Chinese retreat, though the Chinese are able to capture a vast majority of the surrounding area around Tayasal. The Second Battle of Tayasal results in a brutal slaughter of the Mayans. The military, which had holed up for a final fight, was showing incredible resistance. However, the Chinese were able to break through the defenses. With the Mayan leadership crushed, China is able to expand into most of OTL Honduras by December. Vietnam is thanked for helping China against the Aztecs, offering them gold as a gift. Meanwhile, in Asia, China accepts the offer to Pacific-Sibera Day Celebration.
 * In January, András is crowned as Andrew IV.After receiving the invitation, he sends his brother Géza, since he is occupied with reconstructing the country and its economy.Meanwhile, one small expedition is sent to found a settlement in Africa, and lands in OTL southeastern South Africa.other is sent to Canariae Insulae, with orders to conquer the great eastern island which still has not been conquered. Erbania (OTL Fuerteventura).However, the invasion is delayed to the next year.expansion in Öböl resumes, with the colony expanding 600 sqkm south inland.Uruguay expands 800 sq km.
 * France expands its colony in North America 20*50 square km, this colony is named as Nouvelle-France (New France), and the unnamed colony in Africa is named Guinée. The french government send a ambassador to Hanthawaddy for talk about a possible alliance between the two countries. The new king, Robert III, took up the throne at the beginning of this year, designated for a rovlution against the old system of government, he strives to destroy the feudal system and create a more democratic kingdom (but with he as Head of Government). The main impulse of the revolution was the few colonial expansion and the submission of the country in the last years.
 * An invitation to the Siberia-Pacific day celebrations are also sent to france(as it is now active).See the Russia post for more details.
 * The king Robert accept the invitation and travels to Russia the day of Siberia-Pacific. He's exciting for meet the Tsar.
 * Itsaygahi consolidate the Yucatan into the kingdom, and builds roads across the country. Benvoligahu grows, expanding south into Cuba. The collapse and lack of interest in the Floridian colonies my the Mamluks and the Ottomans leads to King Chanrak claiming the peninsula and a process of expansion into Florida begins.
 * The Venetian Doge accepts the Russian invitation and says he will attend in person along with a few personal guards. He leaves his trusted brother in command of Venice and orders him to keep a standard military and colonial policy and to relay messages to and from him in the case of emergency. The brother, keen to make a name for himself decides to set up the Nuovo Venetia colony just south of the Russian colony, and it quickly expands to an area of 100 sq km, this work grants him heavy public support after the success of the expidition.
 * If you just formed this settlement, wait till next turn to expand it.according to the rules, a initial settlement only can have up to 100 sq km.
 * Modified.
 * Russian colony where? I have 2 in America-Canada and Novorossiya, and one on New Zealand, Africa, and Sri Lanka/South India, so that makes 5 colonies.
 * I know it exactly.i'm talking about your colonies in North America, and he didn't specified which his is below.
 * Sweden continues developing its military. A colonisation convoy sets off for unknown waters...

1661

 * Naples improves the Ricasolian infrastructure and sends more colonists, although its size remains the same. More and more of Cuba is coming under Neapolitan control (with even more if the Charter Port Princes are counted); however, they do not tolerate the large Mumlak colony that is on the island. Benvolio II sends a message to the Mumlaks, demanding that they cede over their Cuba colony to Naples, or else he will wage a Holy War, or Crusade, upon the Arab colony. His son Angelo begins to build up a military presence in Ricasolia, to prepare for the Crusade should the ungodly Mamluks refuse to hand over their colony.
 * The Vietnamese expand their Puerto Rico colony southward by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese Emperor apologizes to the Russian Czar, as he had been unable to make it to the big Siberia-Pacific Day celebration. He instead sends a messenger to Russia bringing his heartfelt congratulations. The Nipponese expand their territory to the new Sendai line, as their Vietnamese masters have renegotiated the deal with Joseon. The New Lithuanians expand into Borneo, marking the first time that they have officially expanded their in years. Increasing amounts of the New Lithuanian natives are converting to Christianity, and are intermarrying with the European New Lithuanians. This gives rise to a new mixed of New Lithuanians, and is helping decrease tensions between the two groups tremendously.
 * The increasing number of artists and writers in Viharapura is coupled with a similar growth on the other side of the world. An increasing number of slaves are imported from Biokomon in Africa to Hanthawaddy, Bi Hloa, and New Hanthawaddy. They are prized due to their being accustomed to the tropical climate of these areas, and their resistance to diseases such as malaria, sleeping sickness, and smallpox. The trade of Saami slaves also grows, although it is scorned by European powers as barbaric, leading to its being less profitable than other slave trades. The benefits of free labor are numerous. In New Hanthawaddy, Mons discover that Europeans and many Ramanians have a taste for tobacco, and the first cash crop fields are established near OTL Caracas. Dunquk Dung expands east 600 sq km, meeting with OTL Araya. Guajira expands west along the coast 600 sq km. The new Seng Humit (Mosquito Coast) settlement expands south 400 sq km. Bi Hloa expands 400 sq km south along the west coast in Bi Hloa.

 * Russia sends speialy made royal transportation ships or carriages(depending on distance) to all countries that agreed to attend the celebrations. The Celebrations will include Having a large feast in Moscow and remembering the dead for the Russian motherland in all wars(it was the first time that the words "mother Russia" or the derivatives will be used in a speach). The Foreign leaders will be invited to see a service of the Russian Orothodox church as it is a part of Russia's culture and is one of the reasons that they were invited(experience culture), but will not be forced to participate. Fireworks will be lit up in the moscow sky for the first time and the city of Novgorod will also be visited as a last stop before the world leaders part their separate ways. The Tsar Thanks all that participated and is anxious to see what the 15 of June may bring. Due to an influx of settlers, Canada expands 2000km.
 * China links its captures in the Panama region with its captures in Honduras and Guatemala. A huge celebration at the former Mayan capital occurs at July. Hanthawaddy and Vietnam troops are invited to the party. By December, Chinese troops capture more of the Yucatan.
 * Robert III of France thanks the Tsar for his hospitality and congratulates him for the splendour and glory of the Tsardom. Robert look for alliances with Russia during the celebrations, and be kind with the nobility and the people (he wants to be popular between the Russians). Robert also sends ambassadors to Naples for negotiate an alliance in defense of the Christianity, against the Mamluks and the pagans in their colonies. Haiti increase its territory 1700 sq km to west.
 * Naples accepts the alliance with their fellow Christian nation.

 * A rebel general rises in the south of Japan to start unifying Japan.
 * A Nipponese crackdown on dissent kills the rebel General, who had been in the processes of fomenting a group of terrorists under the guise of being "revolutionaries". Fortunately he had only recruited a small number of the more radical minor daimyo to his cause. His daimyo supporters are executed, and replaced with loyal daimyo.
 * There are enough nations to choose that you don't need to steal another person's vassal state. The southern half of Japan is the Vietnamese vassal of Nippon, and the northern half is to be annexed by Joseon. In other words, Japan is off-limits as a playable nation for the foreseeable future.
 * Joseon continues to expand into Japan, taking the rest of Hokkiado, as well as several smaller islands off of Hokkiado. Meanwhile, their Oregon colony is expanded by 1500 sq km, and hundreds more colonists are sent to Oregon. Also, due to the rebel general in Japan, crackdowns begin on all suspected rebel groups, and although no evidence is found, over 50 people are hanged.
 * The brother of the doge of Venice sends another few ships to Nuovo Venetia expanding it by 1250 sq km. Construction also continues on the Genoan armoury at an unrivaled rate and more ships pass through Genoa's ports in one year than in the past 50 years alone. He is hailed again for his administrative expertise in organizing the expeditions.
 * Which one are you expanding?with two colonies, 1250 sq km is the maximum number of all colonial expansion in one turn, not just of one colony.
 * modified, sorry these rules are a little hard to understand at times.
 * Sweden lands a colony on the southernmost point of Baffin Island. sweden continues upgrading their military.

1662

 * The Vietnamese expand their Puerto Rico colony by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese reluctantly recognize the new regimes in France and Burgundy. The Nipponese officially end territorial expansion at the Sendai line. The Vietnamese send more troops to the Aztec Empire, as their commitment in Nippon ended when they had reached the Sendai line. A small portion of the Vietnamese force remains in Nippon to help train the new Nipponese Army. The Vietnamese build shipyards to allow the Nipponese to rebuild their depleted merchant marine.
 * The rest of Erbania (1150 sq km) is captured.Öböl expands 1050 sq km inland south.Afrika expands 100 sq km.Meanwhile, Hungary's economy continues to recover, while, the offer of selling Jégföld to other country still has no replies.Poland also rebuilds its military. and offers to buy a strip of land of former Doitsochihou from Sweden.
 * China expands more into the Aztec/Mayan Territory, pushing westwards towards the Pacific Ocean. Meanwhile, in the Yucatan Peninsula, the conquest is complete. Rebuilding of the infrastructure from the old Mayan Capital begins. By December, an assault on Tenochtitlan is mounting.
 * France try to remake its foreign relations (principally with Vietnam). Robert III offers to Charles I of Burgundy make a mutual defence alliance and invites him to Paris to the second aniversary of his coronation, the Tsar Alexi I and Benovolio II of Naples are also invated (even the Doge of Venice and Thai Phương of Vietnam are invited). New France expands 1700 sq km to the North.

 * Charles I accepted the invitation and go to France. Charles I applaud the revolutionary monarchy which in the Kingdom of Burgundy is also its form of government. The King of the Burgundians asks to King of France military access for that Burgundian troops can go to Flanders. In Burgundy is starting to form an army for war against Flanders. Burgundian merchants go to France, making a slight growth of the economy.
 * France concedes to Burgundy the pace-permission.
 * The Doge of Venice unfortunately declines the French invitation as he has taken to a voyage around the eastern nations of the continent for the last years of his life. Seeing the support of his brother even travelling to him in free Japan, he sets him as successor at the mild age of 31. The new doge declines the French too saying that there are currently more pressing matters than the crowning of the French king to Venice. He organises the second expedition to establish the third planned colony Cinque Isole, placed in the Caribbean islands east of the Vietnamese colony. The success of every expedition furthers Italian support for Venice making other northern Italian city states consider joining the North Italian Union. Meanwhile a bill is passed by the Doge, that makes several new citizenship classes, the first being Venetian, the second being Italian, the third being Citizen and the fourth being Resident. The requirements for citizen allow all of the natives of the Venetian colonies to immediately become Citizens. This new bill called the "Bill of Citizenship (Disegno di legge di Cittadinanza)" is put through on the Doges popularity although there is still general discontent about it.
 * Wait. you estabilished your first colony in 1651. by the rules, you must wait until 1701 (50 years after the founding of your first colony) to make a new colony.
 * I have established TWO colonies and have one by conquest, that isn't establishment. I put the date I conquered it. I will have to wait 1710 to establish another colony, due to Nuovo Venetia being the first one I made.
 * Don't you mean the islands west of the Vietnamese colony? The Bahamas are still untouched (as far as I know), and the Vietnamese are well on their way to annexing the entire Lesser Antilles island chain.
 * Joseon continues to expand into Japan, slowly advancing down to the new Sendai line. Meanwhile, their Oregon colony is expanded by 750 sq km, and more colonists are sent to the 신대륙 (New World), in search of glory and wealth. A head right system is made, where 30 acres of land will be given for every passenger to the New World. This incites a huge wave of new colonists, eager to claim land in the New World. Their Columbian colony is also expanded by 300 sq km, while their Kamchatkan colony, long neglected, is “resurrected’ and is expanded by 450 sq km.
 * Russia...(east) Kamchatka Coastlines... What do you not understand about me saying its mine and eventualy asking you to sell the colony to me... You will be expanding into Russia soon so... ya your choice.
 * What YOU don't understand is that Russia's rate of expansion is getting pretty absurd. So please dial it back a bit.
 * Hanthawaddy expands its military significantly during the year. Modern artillery is borrowed from Europe and refined slightly. King Jayadeva claims a large amount of territory in Central America for the Crown, as part of an agreement with China. Control is created over all of Seng Humit, and Hanthawaddy begins consolidating its claims in OTL Panama. OTL Guajira expands west 1500 sq km along the coast, and Bi Hloa expands directly south along the coast by 500 sq km.
 * The Russian Tsar, Upon recieving the Invitation to go see the coronation, and wanting to repay the time that the French have put into going to Siberia-Pacific, decides to travel to France for the Coronation Aniversary. He leaves his wife in charge while he is gone and puts an order for the army to capture the inland parts of Kamchatka. The Tsar is eager to disscuss the posibility of a militaristic alliance with the French. The Russians publish their first book about the native americans and their beliefs and customs. They actively compare them to the Mongols that invaded them in the 1200s and are much less negative than other European books(Remember, Russia was already a multiethnical empire(unlike most of europe), and a Russian talking bad about a non-russian would be not very much liked in kazakhstan, Changitisan and the Siberian lands, where the majority are non-russian). It is labeled "New World of the Indians". The Russians expand Novaya Skandinavia by 2000 km and Canada by 500km. The Russians find and interesting social structure in the Iroquois and find it somewhat comparable to Russia during the Tatar yoke(Confedetation-Type states). A version of the Book is translated into and printed in French and is given to Robert III amongst other gifts including a statue of a Russian bear (easyer to sculpt than an eagle) and a Rooster on the sides and facing a dove with an olive branch. Ressetling continues all over the empire and nikolaevsk grows and the city of okhotsk is founded by decree from the Tsrina.
 * Naples declares that all Mamluk territories on the island of Cuba are now part of Ricasolia. They announce that the Mamluks should not be permitted to preach their false faith to the pagan Cubans, corrupting potential Christain converts. They also state that the safety of Neapolitan Ricasolia is in danger with a rival power having a colony on the same island. The fleet of Naples arrives off the coast of the Mamluk colony, and then the soldiers launch an attack upon the cities of the Mamluks. Meanwhile, a force from Ricasolia is moving through the jungles of Cuba to attack the Mamluk colony from the inland direction. The Ricasolians treat Christian natives very well, and many native tribes who dislike the Mamluks join the force of Ricasolia (with some bribery of course). The Cuban Crusade has begun.
 * Sweden sends off another colonising fleet. Sweden's military is upgraded and the new OTL Baffin Island colony is named Hodlaand. It expands by 1250 sqkm.

1663

 * Not a drop of rain falls in India. Oldenburg, Western Doitsuchihou, Swedish Frisia and Flanders are hit by a major plague. Expansion in these countries will merit special bonuses in war, as well as double expansion in general (after halved expansion is taken into account for gray areas. However, expansion in the Netherlands will lead to a 50% chance of your own country contracting the plague, so be careful.
 * Joseon continues to expand into Japan, continuing to advance ever so slowly to the Sendai line. Meanwhile, their Oregon colony is expanded by 750 sq km, their Colombian colony by 400, and their Philippines colony by 350. Meanwhile, military presence on Japan increases, due to recent resistance against Korean rule. A free trade deal is sent to Venice, while they offer to sell their Kamchatka colony to Russia for a pittance, as well as a since they see that the Russians will reach it sooner or later, and by then, it will be of no use, surrounded by Russian territory. It has also been seen in the Korean court as a waste of time, as that it is seen to be a “deserted, barren wasteland”.
 * The Vietnamese expand their Puerto Rico colony by by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese accept the French invitation. The Vietnamese offer up Vietnamese India for sale to the highest bidder. The Vietnamese start expanding the military to prepare for a potential war with the xenophobic Irish government. However, the Vietnamese are unable to begin a war now with their commitments in the Aztec and Mayan Empires.
 * The Venetian Doge warns that aggression against Ireland will bring Venice into the war against Vietnam.
 * The Vietnamese issue a statement of shock and disgust at the Doge's comments. They remind the Venetians that the "profitable trade" with Ireland had slowed down to a trickle, and that the Irish hadn't shown any special mercy to any Venetians shipwrecked on Irish territory. The word "Venetian" becomes a popular synonym to "money-grubbing".
 * The Doge denies the claims of Vietnam, noting that Venice knows more about its own nation than Vietnam, and has seen an increase in trade with Ireland contrary to the beliefs of Vietnams officials.
 * Robert III, King of France, declares Russia and Naples as "friends of the Kingdom" and happy he reads the new Russian book. Robert contemplate the possibility of form an alliance with the Tsar. He also remark the french position as "tolerant people". In Haiti, many slaves are liberated and the state allow them to serve with basic rights to the proprietary classes. The new Haitian freemen help France to create new militias and iniciate the exportation of sugar. Robert III reorganizates the Royal Christian Army and offers aid to the Vietnamese in their war against the Mayans and Aztecs.
 * Naples is happy to be considered such a good ally of France.
 * The Vietnames-Irish war has been postponed until about 1686 so that I can better prepare for it.
 * Repaired.
 * Sweden lands the colony ship on the southernmost shore of Hudson Bay. Sweden quarantines its Dutch province but the plague spreads to Southern Scandinavia. Swedish authorities manage to keep the death toll to less than 200 with harsh measures. Sweden continues military expansion and Hodlaand expands by 1250 sqkm.
 * Also I have occupied and annexed all of Western and Eastern Doitsuchou.
 * Öböl expands 1050 sq km inland, south.Afrika expands 300 sq km, while other expedition with settlers and soldiers is sent to Erbania, with orders to expand the Canariae Insulae colony.Meanwhile, a settlement as part of Canariae Insulae is founded in OTL Western Sahara, in the nearest point to Erbania.Újfundlandi expands 850 sq km inland on its main island.
 * The Burgundy Army across France and attacks Flanders. With a major breakthrough in the entire south. However, a part of the army has fallen ill and stopped his breakthrough in the south of Flanders until the arrival of Burgundians apothecaries. Charles I comes back from France to Burgundy at the news of his great victory and the plague in the north. To the ears of the Burgundian people has been heard Vietnamese recognition of the new government of the country. So the king tried sent messengers but without a port, the situation is very difficult. Therefore it is expected to conquer Flanders in order to have a port. The king sent messengers to Sweden for affront to the difficult situation in northern Europe. Charles I accept of new the invitation and go to France.
 * Naples sends a message to Burgundy, asking what their dominant/official religion is.
 * Spain starts to build up a navy. Then they send messengers to all other nation asking them to come by so that they could talk about forming a partnership. As of now all rebels in Spain have been killed.
 * Venice answers the call and officially re opens trading with Spain, allowing a secure flow of resources to the now secure nation. The Doge sends a negotiator to Spain asking what partnerships Spain would be interested in?
 * The King of Naples sends a royal message to the king of Spain stating that he is proud to be an ally of a fellow Catholic nation. Neapolitan merchants begin to trade with Spain.
 * Venice Starts building up its military again by order of the Doge, the Military specifically manages to hire several Irish mercenary Battaglione's and many Irish citizens of Venice sign up to fight in a specially formed Irish Battaglione of Venice.
 * The Mayan Civilization is destroyed at the Battles of Chichen Itza. The First Battle, which had happened two years ago, saw China take over the city, though the Mayans retook it due to the Chinese not guarding it well. In the Second Battle of Chichen Itza, which happened this year, was when Chinese forces bombarded Chichen Itza, killing militants and civilians alike. The temple remained mostly intact, though a few catapult impacts damaged the stairs. In the Third Battle of Chichen Itza, Chinese troops went inside the ravaged city and captured it. The Mayan civilization surrendered. However, Aztec fighting was mistaken for Mayan fighting after the Mayans capitulated. This is the first time that the Asians discovered a distinction between the two civilizations. Efforts now go to destroying what is left of the Aztecs.
 * Hanthawaddy continues upgrading its military. Hanthawaddy sends settlers to Seng Humit, from Camaikamon. After a few forts are created, Mons begin contact with the natives. They offer some natives firearms in order to gain a trusting relationship with them. Meanwhile, in Katimon, increasing hostilities take place with the Kulin natives. The Mon settlers become embroiled in trade disputes. According to author, Smim Ram the natives are "untrustworthy and lacking any form of conscience or reasoning ability." The Mons use this as an excuse to occupy OTL French Island at 200 sq km. Katimon's northern and southern settlements expand north 700 sq km each in a thin band along the coast. OTL Guajira expands west along the coast by 300 sq km.
 * The Russians put more effort into capturing the mountainous terrain that is kamchatka and chukotka. The Russians see future in the mountains as many gems are found in the Urals and hoped to be found in the far eastern mountains. Russia offers an alliance to France as to bring the european nations closer and to sign the Baltic Alliance with AGC and Sweeden for a mutual alliance(one again). Russia continues to settle the colonies and far east. The Russians expand their colonial holdings in Africa by 2000 km and in Novaya Skandinavia by 1000 km.
 * The fleet of Naples bombards the small port cities of the Mamluk Cuban colony, and quickly defeats the few ships stationed there. The Neapolitan forces are able to force a landing, and crush the colonists resistance. Meanwhile, the army of natives and Ricasolians attacks from the inland route, preventing the Mamluks and their allied natives from being capable of retreating. The Mamluk colony is easily occupied, with rebels standing no chance against Naples' military. However, should the Mamluk empire get organized and aid their colony, Naples could still be defeated.

1664

 * The Vietnamese expand their Puerto Rico colony by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese accelerate their program of military expansion in light of Venetian hostility. The Vietnamese go to their allies in Anglo-Germany and Hanthawaddy in an effort to gain support in a potential war against Ireland and Venice. They also go to the Holy Romans and the Neapolitans in an effort to gain their support in a fight against their expansionalistic northern neighbor. As Holy Roman and Neapolitan involvement would go a long way towards neutralizing potential Venetian involvement, the Vietnamese give the two Italian nations aid deals aimed at improving their armed forces. They also approach the Hungarians with the prospect of regaining the territory the Venitians had taken from them in the last war.
 * Naples' King Benvolio states that he will support his fellow Catholic nations of Ireland and Venice in any wars against Vietnam. However, due to his old age it is unlikely that he will be the monarch during such a war, and his son has no care what happens in Ireland. Prince Angelo privately sends a message to Naples' allies stating that he will not fight against any Christian nation in Ireland, and will only fight Vietnam if they attempt to attack Venice proper. Meanwhile, many Neapolitan naval vessels have blockaded the straights of Gibraltar. They let any nation except the Mamluks send boats through, the reason for stopping the Mamluks is to prevent them from trying to liberate their colony. Meanwhile the forces on Cuba work to subjugate the Mamluk colonists.
 * France sends ambassadors to Naples with two messages: 1. Frances ask for permission to "invade" Ricasolia for help in the war against the Mamluks. 2. The french king will support the peace between the European catholic nations, ergo, they will help the Irish and Venice (and obviously Naples) in case of war against Vietnam. Because of this, the french army is reinforced with new and fresh troops and militias. France is agree with the Russian proposition of form an alliance. New ambassador are send to Spain and Hungary to create new diplomatic agreements. Now is clear that the french highest ambition is the union of the European Christianity, and give back to it its former importance . Even so, King Robert is well-disposed to form an alliance with China, if it's necessary.
 * Naples' Crown Prince states that they can control Ricasolia easily on their own. However, if the French can help them isolate the Mamluks so they cannot retake their colony, the Neapolitans would be very happy with their ally. He secretly sends a message to France that the people of Naples are still very pleased with Vietnam for aiding them with the recession, so it is highly unlikely that they will go to war with their ally.
 * The Venetian Doge is happy to have support from France and gladly accepts it along with increasing the amount of resource flow to France they offer an official alliance to France along with free movement of troops throughout the lands to allow greater action against the enemies of each nation.
 * Vietnamese relations with France, though not completely severed, are severely strained. The Vietnamese revoke every generous trade agreement and privalege they had ever given the French. Vietnamese trade with France is also severely affected, as most Vietnamese merchants are encouraged to avoid trading with the French as much as possible. Furansuchou is heavily fortified and garrisoned to guard against French attack. The Vietnamese Emperor declares that "if the spineless French wish to turn their backs on a centuries old alliance, we have no choice but to do the same".
 * I liked JonMichaelAllen better. At least he had the common sense to not stab his allies in the back. Vietnam was France's ally long before Kunarian joined the game.
 * Even so, it is not implausible. The changes in the policies of a country happen. I have no problems with you, I only have specific objectives. You were who didn't recognise France two or three turns before, and you refused some offers which i did to you. Appropiate, I'm Galaguerra, no Kunarian.
 * I did not think I needed to recognize the new government of a country I had dealings with for centuries. The fact I continued to work with you should have been recognition enough. I only did what I thought Vietnam would do in face of the French dealing with a potential enemy. Tell me it isn't plausible for the Vietnamese to be outraged at what they see as French duplicity. They are human beings, and can allow emotion to cloud their judgement.
 * You have reason, It is plausible. I sorry if i bothered you, I really didn't want to. I only did the most plausible action that the new french government would do.
 * Sweden strongly urges their allies, the Vietnamese and the Venetians to back down. However if it comes to war, Sweden however will be forced to help the Venetians if their Italian homeland is attacked. Sweden continues military expansion and the new colony of New Scandinavia is expanded by 1250 sqkm. Despite the best efforts of Swedish authorities the plague spreads into Anglo-german areas of Scandinavia where lack of intervention kills many including the governor and his top officals. Sweden is forced to occupy the area and restore order to prevent the plague from reentering Sweden proper as the death toll drops to 50 this year. If Anglo-Germany does not respond within two years then Sweden will annex their portion of Scandinavia.
 * The Vietnamese promise the Swedes that they have no intention of invading Venetian territory. They insist that they would have their hands full dealing with Ireland, let alone their Italian allies. The whole purpose of their diplomatic wrangling is to make sure a direct invasion of Venice by Vietnamese forces is unecessary.
 * If that is the case Sweden will stay neutral unless Venice doesn't support Ireland; in which case Sweden will help the Vietmanese.
 * Robert III says to Sweaden that a pleague is not excuse for invade another country's territory. Also guarantees that, in case of war, the war actions will unroll in the irish territory, until the vietnamese are agree.
 * That territory is rightfully part of Sweden and I have been trying to obtain it for 50+ years. The plague was at trisk of rearriving into Sweden so the King ordered the officals to help stop the plague. Plus I have offered to return it if Zagoria returns by 1666 as he has been away since 1659.
 * New Scandinavia is Hodlaand or other colony?
 * Hodlaand is on the southernmost tip of Baffin Island, New Scandinavia is on the southernmost shore of Hudson Bay. Sorry about the confusion...
 * Wait, you formed New Scandinavia in 1664 or before that?
 * In the midst of all this confusion, a small coastal kingdom has been discovered on the South American continent, roughly equidistant from Anglo-German and Vietnamese holdings. Their main exports are fish and sugar cane and they speak the Guaraní language.
 * Are you sure you wish to start as that?? The Ottomans, Mamluks and many other currently large nations are avaliable for play
 * I thought StarkBlack was the Ottoman Empire?
 * However, he (StarkBlack) only appears sporadically.he is almost inactive.still, i don't think that is advisable take his place as Ottoman Empire. and, i highly doubt that the natives in the coastal area of today's Brazil would achieve to form a complex society 150 years after the first European contacts with them.and your nation is away form them, in what i think that are the coastlines of the states of Ceará and Piauí.there were societies more complex in the Amazonic Forest (namely, Tapajoso, Manoa and Onguayal).and, there are various unoccupied countries (most of the African kingdoms and North African sultanates, nations in Europe like Portugal, Kulin in OTL Australia and various other, which already exist.
 * Righto then, I'm Portugal.
 * Öböl expands 1150 sq km south inland, and the settlement on OTL Western Sahara expands 600 sq km, thanks to the efforts of the various colonists sent there.the southwestern settlement of Újfundlandi és a Labrador expands 1000 sq km south.Meanwhile, Poland offers to buy a strip of land of Doitsochichou, in order to have a littoral.
 * Sweden rejects this proposal, but offers free use of the ports and roads to allow Polish sea access.
 * Poland accepts the offer.
 * China advances heavily on Aztec Territory from the north. Several important routes to major cities are cut off. In December, a scouting trip finds Tenochtítlan. A Chinese general plots the takeover of the city, which is surrounded by water.
 * Burgundians continue in the campaign against Flanders to the north.
 * France incite Burgundy to enter in its alliance with Naples, and answer the napolitanian question about what is its religion.
 * Russia Again continues to conquer the mountains of the far east and Russian Forces have surrounded Evenkia. Disscussion is going on in the razriadniy prikaz(central command of the military) as wether or not to invade. Kamchatka is brought under control of Russia and officialy annexed as Russia but only a low to nonexistant military force is sustained. the city of Okhotsk grows. Russia offers to buy the Joeson Kamchatka colony. Russia turns their head towards kamchatka. Many expiditioners to the area report sighting of other land(alaska) over the sea surrounding kamchatka,as do travelers of the northwest passage. The Russians tell the sweeds not to invade AGC and offer to have a joint policy of administering the strait of jutland.
 * King Chanrak requests that China recognises its claims to Yucatan, particularly the north. They warn that if their claims are not recognised, they will not declare war, but there is little they can do to control Prince Ehkanankhne. Elsehwhere, the navy is sent to seize control of Mamluk and Ottoman colonies on Florida. Colonists also expand into Florida. Colonisation is sped up by Seminole support in Florida.
 * The Doge of Venice continues to upgrade the military and expands Terra di Calore by 1550 sq km. (will expand upon but don't have the time atm)
 * Joseon expands their Kamchatkan colony by 2000 sq km, hoping to claim some of Kamchatka before the Russians arrive. Meanwhile, Columbia is also expanded by 500 sq km.

1665

 * Sorry for the negligence in the chinese part of Maya/Aztec, but i left a message in CrimonAssassin's talk page exactly for knowing if he would take OTL Guatemala and Honduras as the 1288 px that he had right to in Maya territory or all the 1904 px that he had right to in Maya/Aztec territory.and he never replied.i am still waiting for a reply.as for the Mamluk colony, i'm still waiting for a algorythm to be made.
 * Okay, i think that i updated the map with the Chinese conquests on Maya/Aztec. they didn't appeared yet.
 * Vietnam expands their Puerto Rico colony by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese survey their borders defences in Furansuchou for potential weaknesses, which they then build up and reinforce. The Vietnamese continue to expand their military in preperation of the delayed Irish War. The Vietnamese build massive fleets for both transporting troops and battling the navies of their enemies. They also build massive barracks in Rochefort to allow the Furansuchouan city to serve as a command center for the European operations of the Vietnamese armed forces.
 * Joseon expands Kamchatka by 3000 sq km. They send many more colonists to Kamchatka, and also hears rumors of gold in Kamchatka.
 * Naples is in mourning, for King Benvolio II "The Pious" has died a natural death. All flags are flown at half mast for a week until the coronation of his son, King Angelo, in which they are raised back up. Angelo makes the reversal of the Irish policy known to the public, stating that Naples will not go to war against Vietnam unless Vietnam attempts to move into the Italian Peninsula or attacks any of Naples' colonies. He apoligizes for the statements his father made during his last years regarding Vietnam, saying that Benvolio II was growing old and losing his once great mind. As no Mamluk resistance has been encountered, the Mamluk colony on Cuba is fully added to the Neapolitan colony of Ricasolia. Angelo continues his father's policy of donating large amounts of money to the Roman Catholic Church.
 * The Russians finaly conquer and control all of Kamchatka(as if it were not clear from prior posts, namely last year), wiping out any little pockets of resistance left. The Russians also send a small force equiped for the harshest conditions to chukotka and some land is seen across the OTL bering strait(Alaska). The Russians Suspect it is a part of America or another island. Although most forces in Chukotka are expiditionaries, they are sent to map out and learn the territory to make it easier for Russia to traverse the Mountainous terrain and Steppes. Russia Expands their Canada Colony by 2000 km. Russia sends its condolances to Napled for the loss of Benvolio. The Russians are not so sure why the governement of Naples is donating money to the church when it almost wrecked the economy just before Benvolio's death and can be used for much better things. Un urban boom starts in Lithuania and lasts for the next 2 years as more people move to the city. A lesser one happens in Russia but to a lower extent(Im trying to pave a way for industrialisation). The largest settlement of Novaya skandinavia is officialy named Novaya Warszawa(new Warsaw) and is made the Capital. Novaya Skandinavia is renamed novaya kamchatka.
 * Sweden continues military expansion. The officals in Southern Scandinavia prepare to annex the region in the following year with massive public support for the decision. New Scandinavia is expanded by 1250 sqkm.

 * A Chinese General proposes that ships are taken apart at the former Aztec Coast and transporting the parts to a river near Tenochtítlan. The ships are reassemled and will launch an attack on Tenochtítlan. The Chinese go with the plan, capturing Tenochtítlan. The Aztecs, demoralized, suffer heavy losses this year, capturing much Aztec territory.
 * France expands the colony of New France 2000 sq km and starts the export of coffe and american spices. Robert III follow the new Naples' policy and ask for peace to Vietnam. Even so, he want the unity of the european christiaity and says that he is disposed to act as mediator in the vietnamese-irish conflict. He also sends a message to aevery european christian leaders and intellectuals: He invites all of them to a council in Paris, where he wants sign a new trety of universal peace and cooperation. He also invites the leaders of Vietnam, Joseon, China and Hanthawaddy to act as partners.
 * Vietnam x Venice discussion moved to talk page
 * Venice continues to upgrade its military with the new Genovesi Arsenal, boosting production of weapons for the Genovesi forces and the Venetian navy. The Doge also grants Genoa the right to send a convoy of ships to Cinque Isole, boosting the colonial population and causing there to be more Genovesi there than Venetians and expanding it by 1550 sq km. The Doge also begins to negotiate with Ireland about the defence of their nation.
 * Where is Cinque Isole? i mean, in which island is the first settlement?is to avoid that, as a example, i make the first settlement in OTL Andros and then you complain that in fact is in OTL New Providence.
 * According to the map I made with Venices moves over everyone elses, the original settlement is in New Providence, due to me only noticing that Veitnam had basically already got all the eastern islands already. And when did I complain? I swear I didn't but if I did sorry bout that.
 * Burgundy conquer all Flandes.
 * Hanthawaddy's military updates of the past two years reach Katimon. Settlers welcome the new introduction of artillery, and fortifies their base near Kulin. Katimon expands inland to the east of the base at 1400 sq km. Bi Hloa expands south by 1200 sq km in a relatively thin band along the west coast. In this way more trade takes place with the natives.

1666

 * The Polish armies attack northern Moldavia in the western part, instead of attacking the capital Iaşi.However, the under-equipped Polish armies do few advances on Moldavian territory, and by 1666, the Polish armies only conquered 500 sq km of Moldavian territory.Hungary amps up its military, and Öböl expands 1100 sq km inland south.Canariae insulae expands 500 sq km south on the mainland settlement.the southwestern settlement of Újfundlandi és a Labrador expands 550 sq km south, while the settlement around OTL Smallwood Reservoir expands 550 sq km towards the littoral of Labrador.Afrika expands 50 sq km.
 * The Venetian Doge upgrades the military and expands Nuovo Venetia by 1550 sq km. Venice promises that France and Spain will automatically gain land from a war with Vietnam and that war is imminent, The Doge asks Vietnam to step down.
 * The Burgundian army returned from the war against Flanders. To this the king held a party for victory in the campaign. France, Naples, Russia and Hungary are invited to come to this party and to recognize the sovereignty of Burgundy in Flanders. Charles I also wants to make alliances with the Christian nations. Burgundy's economy becomes stable and the army has been diminished by war and disease.
 * Joseon gives Russia the deal of selling their Kamchatka territory in exchange for their Sri Lanka territory. Meanwhile, Oregon is expanded by 1500 sq. km, while Columbia is also expanded by 1000 sq km, and the Phillipiens are expanded by 500 sq km.
 * Emperor Jayadeva of Hanthawaddy orders a slow end to the new burst of reforms. Meanwhile, settlers in Katimon raid Kulin. They fight through and discover the dwelling of Kulin's king. Many atrocities are committed by the settlers, but the settlers believe that only through conquest of Kulin can they conquer the Dreamtime and solidify Buddhism in Australia. Many colonists in Katimon support their cause. In addition to hiring Shan an Chinese mercenaries, the settlers humbly asks support from Russia, China, Anglo-Germany, and Vietnam.Colonists around Kulin expand by 1000 sq km, due to the number of colonists seeking glory in the conquest of Kulin, gathering in tent-settlements. OTL Araya expands west by 1000 sq km.
 * The Aztec civilization surrenders to China. Integration of the area commences and rebuilding of the damaged cities begins. Will add more later
 * A civilization cannot surrender to China. Tenochtitlan can, however. You still have to crush dissent throughout the empire. Also, I can redo the algorithm, but when do you want to be the beginning year for part 2 of the war?
 * And how the map will stay? i have to do it all over again?--Collie Kaltenbrunner 20:35, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well I figured a war on natives with far less superior technology would wrap up at the fifteen year mark. I've had some help from other countries. When would you say is a plausible point at which the Aztecs surrendered?
 * It's okay for you to take Tenochtitlan, but you need the 33% of the empire to fully conquer it. This will require you to do more algorithms.  But let me know a year range for the second algorithm like (1660-1666).
 * Spain will fight the vietnamese if they step foot on European ground. The form up there entire army. The spainish king raise taxes to pay for the coming war.
 * Just a question but there was a post where, despite the algorithm and plausability, Yank said that Vietnam won basically and that my "obsolete" fleets were destroyed, despite the algorithm showing that I have won and that plausability showing my fleet is one of the worlds most advanced. You can delete this once its confirmed.
 * I was angry and not thinking straight. Anyway, you'd be happy to know that I'm no longer interested in invading Ireland.
 * Naples states that Venice is the aggressor in this war, and sends a message to Spain that Vietnam did not make any expansion, or state that they planned to expand at all, prior to Venice's aggressive attack. The King of Naples abolishes the Treaty of Italy and severs the alliance with Venice. Due to to Vietnam's popularity following their aid during the recession (which Venice did not give, many note) and the subsequent Vietnamese periods in architecture and art, the Neapolitan people greatly favor Vietnam, and anti-Venice riots break out in many cities following the news of war. Angelo makes no declaration of war however.
 * The Vietnamese expand their Puerto Rico colony by 28*50 sq km. They agree to end the state of "cold war" with Venice and Ireland in exchange for economic compensation for the Vietnamese sailors killed by the Irish. Vietnam's constant military expansion is halted, as the tense situation has been defused. The Vietnamese turn their attentions to helping the Nipponese pacify the last of the Japanese resistance. They are willing to turn over any territory north of the Sendai line to Joseon as part of their deal.
 * Robert III declares that, even though his position is the defence of the christianity, his alliance with Naples and his desire for peace is stronger. However, Venice started the hostilities, ergo, France has not casus belli against Vietnam. Robert III ask Vietnam's forgiveness, and is now well-disposed to accept the vietnamese precense in Europe. However, he want not destroy the allaince with Venice and belives that a new peace can be make. He invites all the european christianity to not enter in the war (France did not withdraw its support to the irish, only to the venetians). He wants now create a new alliance between France, Naples and Burgundy (and, if it is possible, Russia, Spain and Anglo-Germany). The invitation to sign a new peace treaty still standing (It would be as the Treaty of London in OTL). Now he want redirect the military efforts to the Middle East. Robert III creates a new and better army and call the Pope to come to Paris and talk about a possible new crusade, to get the unity of the christianity.
 * Sweden continues military expansion. They do not wish to take part in the fighting. The Anglo-German lands in Southern Scandinavia are offically annexed into the Swedish Empire.
 * Russia makes small inroads into chukotka and take a break. The Russians upgrade their military and condemn the Venician invasion of Vietnam. The Russians stand firm agianst the crusade for the unification of christianity as the Russians have a natural dislike of the pope and do not want to follow the catholic doctrine as orthodox christians. The Russians Take to the rivers to expand their siberian holdings, capturing areas bordering rivers by transporting koches. The new Tsar adopts a new Tsarist Standard, and Tsar's Flag(civil ensein), and the Tsar's flag is ordered to be flown over civilian ships while the standard is only flown on the Tsar's Ship or on Royal ships or ship decoys.
 * I didn't mean "unification" of the christianity, I meant unity against the enemies of the christianity (the ottomans and mamluks). I lament the confusion.

1667
2 - which Chaguaramas?the Venezuelan one is in the inland and considering that the Vietnamese are already in Trinidad, the Trinidadian one is already occupied.
 * Naples begins to focus on building up the European branch of their military, fearful that with so many of their soldiers overseas securing Cuba, they will be unable to participate in a major European war, the likes of which seem very close to occuring with the current tensions between Venice and Vietnam. Angelo sends word to Vietnam that Naples will side with their ally against Venice, due to increasing anti-Venetian attitudes among the people of Naples. They agree with France that the Mamluks, Ottomans, and other Islamic states are the prime enemy to Christiandom, and inform the French that they have worked to end Mamluk influence in the Caribbean.
 * The Venetian-Vietnamese war has pretty much been cancelled.
 * They still aren't going to become best of allies right off the bat.
 * I know. But we're going to work on that. WIth Vietnam no longer intent on conquering Ireland, I do believe that we could se a normalization of relations by arround 1676.
 * Already working on it but its understandable for tension to continue to exist and in many ways it should still exist.
 * The Vietnamese expand their Puerto Rico colony by 28*50 sq km. The Vietnamese offer to supply soldiers for the upcoming Fifth Crusade, as they are eager to ease tensions that had built up between them and the Catholic nations of Europe. The Vietnamese request asistance defeating the Islamic states of North Africa. They offer the French territory in the Algerian Sultanate as a reward for their asistance.
 * France accepts the vietnamese offert and, as guarantee, the prince Jacques is envoy to Vietnam as ambassador. Now more than ever, Robert III call for a council in Rome, the sign of the treaty and the declaration of the new crusade. Robert expect that this treaty end the problems and the hostilities among the christian nations. The colony of New France expands its territory 2000 sq km.
 * Hanthawaddy sends a large amount of support to the war against Kulin, and again asks its allies China, Vietnam, Russia, and Anglo-Germany for help in crusading against their primitive religion. The main settlments are plundered, but are met with fierce resistqnce by local warriors. Katimon a little bit east of Kulin expands north 800 sq km. Bi Hloa expands south 1000 sq km, and New Pegu expands east 550 sq km. A settlement is created on the tip of the OTL Chaguaramas at 50 sq km.
 * 1 - Where is New Pegu?
 * New Pegu is the eastern part of Dunquk Dung. I mean Trinidad.  It was never explicitly claimed by Vietnam, it just so happened that you put it on the map, according to your own preference.  We try to give preference to people who are more specific, rather than just posting first because it encourages more detailed and realistic posts.  Hope you understand.
 * Poland conquers 2500 sq km of territory in Moldavia, although both sides suffer heavy casualties.Meanwhile, Öbol expands 1850 sq km south inland.the mainland settlement in Canariae Insulae expands 900 sq km.Hungary continues to amp up its military.
 * Due to the lack of defence offered to the northern states by Naples, Venice manages to push Montferrat to sign into the unification with Venice, Siena and Tuscany now wary of the lack of defencive capabilities start to sway towards joining with Venice, with open support for a union sprouting up in cities. Milan also has now been approached by Venice with garuntees of its seperate soveriegnty as long as it would asist with the unification of the north, included in the treaty is also a garuntee of mutual asistance in wars. Milan asks for soveriegnty to be passed from certain Venetian areas to Milan. Venice agrees and the treaty is signed.
 * Meanwhile Venice offers to tribute Vietnam in return for the outwards hostilities and offers to negotiate a fair treaty with Ireland between those affected by it so that everyone may be satisfied and so that major war can be avoided, Venice hopes to achieve an agreement that colonisation will not occur in Europe or South East Asia by the opposing parties so that mainland soveriegnty of nations may be garunteed. Venice also delivers a statement saying that a census is needed on all catholic nations, and whether they still consider themselves to respond to the Pope as authority, to establish what nations would be prepared to expand Christondom in the western continents, it also offers to expand this into a Christian alliance (that would include all branches of Christianity) whereby no Christian nation may attack another and that they would asist each other against external threats to religious soveriegnty.
 * Portugal founds a colony on the Eastern coast of South America (OTL Brazil).
 * Russians Make more gains on the numerous rivers of siberia an equip their soldiers with the necessary supplies to survive the harsh condidions of central siberia(as learned over many years). The Russians state that they will not follow the pope in any decisions, even a crusade agianst the Ottomans(although help would be apreciated. The Russo-Ottoman Relations deteriorate after many warlords attack the Russian possesions in the northern Caucassus. Canada expands by 2000 km. Russia continues to update military. A large town on the Baikal is given the name Irkutsk, Tomsk is founded along with a town of Novosibirsk. Turkansk is founded. The First full census of the population is conducted. Russia counts 20 million inhabitants from the colonies to the pacific.
 * Sweden continues to develop its military.
 * China makes more pushes in Aztec territory. Most of the Eastern Coast is under Chinese control by now.

1668

 * The Polish expansion in Moldavia comes to a halt and in the end of the year, Moldavia offers a peace treaty to Poland.Hungary continues to amp up its military.Öböl expands 1300 sq km, while Újfundlandi és a Labrador expands 950 sq km on the central part of the colony, towards the southwestern settlement.the mainland settlement on Canariae Insulae expands 500 sq km
 * Spain forms a army for war. The start consturction of a fleet. The king of Spain send a message to all saying if Venice is attacked Spain can and will go to war with the attacking nation. To make this clear Spain offers to send Venice 2500 men to use.
 * Venice accepts the troops and sends back to Spain offers of Increased Trade along with several Venetian ships to gift to the Spanish Navy.
 * The Venetian Doge orders the military to be upgraded with a new naval invention, a faster reloading cannon, the entire Navy is slowly refitted over the course of the year. There is also a surge in population in Nuovo Venetia allowing it to expand by 1550 sq km.
 * A Venetian proclamation is published that officially claims southern Savoy for the Venetian Republic and defines that such an acquisition may be military or diplomatic (The Savoy Proclamation), there are also other proclamations published, that claim Florence, Siena and Asli for the Venetian Republic and defines that such an acquisition may only be diplomatic (The Italian Proclamation) and another claiming the OTL Bahamas for the Venetian Republic and defines that such an acquisition may be military or diplomatic (The Colonial Proclamation). Proclamation Information is on my Talk page
 * Portugal founds a second colony on the West Coast of Africa.
 * Burgundy has not yet received news of the emissaries sent to Naples. The Burgundian army was repaired and began to rebuild the Flanders ports for maritime trade.
 * Venice sends Burgundy an offer of Free Trade with no tariffs to boost both the economies of both nations and the relations. They also ask whether they would be interested in the territory of Savoy.
 * After a rebellion in Itsaygahi conquered Yucatan, the new King Michirak decides that the realm is overstretched, and pulls his troops out. Prince Ehkanankne refuses to leave, and proclaims himself King of Yuacati, and claims the Yucatan as his sovereign territory. His troops brutally oppress all resistance. Elsewhere, King Michirak continues expansion into Florida, and seizes all Mamluk and Ottoman colonies on the coast of the peninsula. King Michirak is styling all new construction in the style of the ancient Mixxixxippians. For this reason, he will be known as the 'Barrow-King'. This will be twisted overseas, and it will be believed that he has command over the souls over the dead, and can raise slaughtered soldiers from their graves to be an army of living death. All complete fiction, but it contributes to his mythos. Construction is begun on the Mosque of Equagadahu, now considered one of the wonders of the Western World.
 * France expands Haiti 2000 sq km. The king ask permission to send troops to Vietnam to start aiding them in Algeria. Robert III assure the Tsar that the caimpaign against the Ottomans will be manage by the entire christiandom, and not only the Pope. In fact, he wants give representation in his concil to the non-catholic branches. France sends ambassadors to Spain, asking that this country take away its support to Venice. Robert ask, again, the call of a council among the christiandom, to give back the peace and cooperation to Europe and Asia.
 * Venice asks France to kindly leave Spanish and Venetian politics alone stating that Venice has always tried to assist France and continues to do so. The Doge would also like to make it clear that France has no authority over Spain and should have none considering their history.
 * The Vietnamese expands their Puerto Rico colony by 28*50 sq km. They have mostly finished absorbing the Lesser Antiles by now, and have set sights on expanding in the mainland. They also start an offensive in Algeria, which they coordinate with the French offensive. They make a deal with the French that the French will get the majority of the territory gains in the war against the Algerian Ziyanid Sultanate. The Morrocan Marinid Sultanate is mostly a Vietnamese puppet state, and is thus not a threat in the Algerian war.
 * Btw guys if you are having a war then use the Algorithm don't just say, I win! ok thanks.


 * Russians Expand into siberia through the rivers and agree to visit the paris conference along with the muscovian metropolitan. Russia wants to get siberia before Joeson controls all. The Russinas send more expiditions, expand their military and expand their Canada colony by 2000 km and Afrikanskaya Zemlya by 1000km
 * Joseon expands Kamchatka by 3000 sq km.
 * Russia=kamchatka, Kamchatka=Russia...
 * You're being absurd. The latest map shows that your territory has only just reached the Sea of Okhotsk. I think you're biting off mure than you can chew. I think you should expand into the vast areas of Siberia next to your main territory that you've summilarily ignored for years. 
 * Naples refuses to recognize the claims of Venice over the Bahamas or the north Italian states recently occupied. They expand Ricasolia over the small straights of water between Cuba and the southernmost Bahaman isle of Great Inagua. The Igaguan Branch of Ricasolia is expanded to 800 square miles, claiming much of the island. Meanwhile, Naples donates a bit less money to the church, and invests the extra money into their military.
 * Seriously, Venice is expanding too fast to be realistic. No one could conquer all of North Italy, defeat the Hungarian Empire, and still found three colonies within just 2 decades.
 * I agree. He's being too greedy, just like Lx is with Russia. He needs more time to absorb his territory. At least Russia has the money, population and resources to plausibly support their claims. And just because he "claims" something, doesn't mean it's binding. Officially the Treaty of Tordesillas divided the Americas between Portugal and Spain. Unnofficially no one took it seriously besides the aforementioned nations.
 * Sorry about that, I am just veryanxious to absorb siberia before 1700(as it was in OTL)...I had many proposals on the talk page and could somebody please tell me a date for ALL Siberia so I can pace my posts.-Lx
 * That's the thing. This isn't OTL. And even if it was I would think that Russia would expand evenly through Siberia instead of going off on a race to Kamchatka to deny it from the people who have lived there much longer than the Russians. Besides, there are North American colonies that you have neglected in favor of your race to Kamchatka.
 * I think his expansion along the south to Kamchatka and such is just to encircle the wilderness of Siberia so that no one can claim it, not because of any particular want of Siberia itself.
 * Thats one of the many reasons that siberian expansion is driven along the borders(along with greater speed)... Joeson may have had Siberia via manchuria and the territory was tribal and needed to be conquered by someone... -Lx
 * Well Naples, I didn't militaristically conquer all those Italian nations and plue those claims have not been conquered. Also money? Venice is a center of international trade, technically if we compare its OTL position to the ATL postion Venice is the worlds richest city in this timeline most likely so we can trade for all the resources we need and population? I have the right population to enact my claims. Also why act colonially agressive Naples? this will not help you, only gain you someone who will actively resist you.
 * ​Sweden continues military expansion. Hodlaand is expanded by 1250 sqkm

1669

 * The Vietnamese expand their Puerto Rico colony by 28*50 sq km. They start expanding the colony on the coast of the mainland south of Trinidad. The Vietnamese give more support to France in the Algerian War. However most of the support is logistical and the soldiers Vietnam sends are sent to serve under French commanders. With most of the territorial gains going toi France, much of the Vietnamese leadership is not eager to go to war with Algeria. The official Vietnamese stance on the war is neutrality, as they have more pressing issues to take care of. The Vietnamese reestablish control of the long-abandoned trading outpost in California. The residents survived by maintaining a profitable trading relationship with the Anglo-German, Chinese and Korean colonies along the coast. The outpost survived politically by the fact that it was still technically controlled by Vietnam, and thus was avoided by power intent on colonization.
 * I'm sorry Galaguerra. I just realized that with France getting most (if not all) of the land gains that it would be implausible for Vietnam to be directly involved. 
 * France also continue fighting against algerians. The colony of Haiti expands 2300 sq km. To animate the vietnamese command, and convice them that the war can be adventageous for their contry creating a new status for the algerian territory; a free trade zone, open to the immigration of vietnamese people and trade of vietnamese industries. Also the soldiers who partcipate in the war, will be recompense for their efforts and lose time. Even so, Robert wants not to pressure the vietnamese policies about the war. He opne the colonies to international trade (ending the monopoly), but just with Vietnam and Naples. Robert III iniciate formally the council in Orléans. This would be a permanent diplomatic conference, and any christian (no necessary catholic) nation can send ambassadors to it. He call Charles of Burgundy, Thai Phương of Vietnam and Angelo of Naples to send ambassadors and be the first signers of the new treaty of universal peace and cooperation (among the christiandom).
 * Venice sends note to France that they will send Naval support should the French need it and guarantee that such an arrangement would leave 100% of the territory in Frances hands.
 * France accepts the new venetian policies and ask the doge to send ambassadors to the council to make and agree with Naples and avoid a inecessary war.
 * The Doge himself along with several influencial ambassadors will go to the council.
 * Russia asks france for aid as an ally...please
 * Naples sends messages to the rest of the Christian World. They state that Venice is marauding through the North Italian states, conquering many Christian nations that were previously independent with no motivation other than pure territorial gain. They predict that with such quick expansion, Venice will have weak control over the vast quantity of territory that it has gained, and therefore could probably be easily stopped. They tell their fellow Catholic nations that in the past, Venice showed hostilities toward the Pope in the Papal states, and almost started a meanlingless war between Christian nations just a couple years ago out of more territorial greed. They say that all Christian Nations,and any other nation that is concerned about Venetian expansion, should send a message to the Venetians telling them to free the Italian states that they have recently occupied for no reason during the last several years. They expand Ricasolia another 400 square miles onto the large southern Bahaman Island, and they use the rest of their resources to build up their military. Angelo states to king Robert that peace cannot be held in Christiandom until Venice stops their pointless conquering of free Christian lands.
 * Robert III rememers to Angelo thath Venice was not invited to the assembly. France has intection to resolve the diplomatic trobule (because he hopes that it is not a war trouble) in the council. If Naples sends ambassadors, the venetian problem can be solve, and the whole chrtiandom can be word in this matter.
 * The Vietnamese agree that they are alarmed with Venice's aggressive territorial expansion. The Vietnamese Emperor states that he is "appaled by the sheer hypocrisy of Venetian actions." The Vietnamese point out the fact that Venice suggested a pact to prevent Christian nations from attacking one another, and yet they are off on a wildly aggressive campaign of conquest through northern Italy. Especially when they prevented the Vietnamese conquest of Ireland for similar reasons. Vietnamese relations with Venice, which had been repairing since the Irish standoff ended, drop to an all time low for this outrage. The Vietnamese Emperor declares that the --- Proclamation will be ignored by Vietnamese leaders, and thjat it will have no impact on any potential Vietnamese colonization of the Bahamas.
 * By every rule set for colonization, the Venetians still need to wait 50 years to set up a colony there. And I see nothing in the rules that says a colony establised by conquest is immune to the rules.
 * Naples sends Duke Mario, Angelo's brother in law, to the Council as Naples' ambassador. Duke Mario states that they cannot defeat the Muslim Ottomans and Mamluks from bringing war to the world until they stop their fellow Christians.
 * The Doge of Venice offers a council to negotiate the Bahama dispute along with Vietnam if they wish, included in this offer is the reduction of the Bahamas claim to only the five currently partially or fully colonised islands. However Venice defends its position, saying that the north Italian states signed into the union and technically still have soveriegnty of sorts however are protected from outwards imperialism due to the Union. They also point out that the Pope agressively led the Holy Roman Republic (a basphemy against himself) to try and brutally conquer the northern states. They also point out that they have done nothing but worked with the northern Italian states to unify them against external threats and that breaking the Union (which all of the states are opposed to) would simply be an invitation for imperialism by another power.
 * Oh, they're vassal states, not totally conquered? In that case you are blatantly violating the rules. Quote "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." You have more than two, and most are not contiguous. Therefore, making all those states vassals is violating the rules. And you still have more than 2 colonies in a 50 year period, which according to Yankovic your conquered colony is not exempt from. 
 * They are not vassals they are part of the Union Venice has created a Confederate Union particularly (its like the north german federation) where the governments of the states have almost complete flexibility in governance and the central government can't force every single policy on the rest of the Union. Also Yankovic is no longer a moderator as DK said if you look on his talk page, and plus conquering is not the same as founding, so therefore you could conquer 3 colonies and still establish 2 more.
 * The elderly and now heavily religious King Gustav declares war on Russia. He orders thousands of troops across the border in a huge campaign to "preach to proper word of God to the followers of the fake Russian religion". His daughter (next in line) opposes her fathers decision and runs away to Poland. She does not wish for other nations to attack Sweden but only wants a stop to her fathers elderly rambling without harming her nation in anyway.
 * Venice gives support for Sweden considering recent Russian attitudes. However they advocate that Russia should be tuaght a lesson then dealt with peacefully.
 * France incites Russia and Sweaden to send ambassadors to the council and solve theirs problems. If Russia still refuse to send ambassadors and accept the catholic mediation, France will support Sweaden.
 * Personally I hope the Russians lose the war. It'd give Lx a well-needed sense of humility and teach him to be more grounded in his posts.
 * For Russia to win they need either 9 in chance and 4 more allies or just 7 more allies and any number in chance, also any nation joining on Sweden's side would be sure to gain lots of territory if they haven't expanded too much due to Russia's 10 year+ expansion efforts and the fact that Russia has two vassal states.
 * Just so you're aware, should you defeat Russia, you're setting back technology in the game by about 25 years, because Russia has earned the privilege to be the heart of the Industrial Revolution. But there's no problem, just so you know. It is only natural that your country would want to prevent the Industrial Revolution from happening, so don't let that detract you from doing the war. -DK
 * Well, why cant Sweden lead the Industrial revolution with the booty from Russia?
 * It will definitely help you industrialize. But Lx got the privelege to lead the revolution, so as long as he is on the game it will be his revolution. Technology does not just appear just out of money, or else it would not have been Britain who led the revolution in OTL (although resources was not something they lacked). There are other factors which must be taken into consideration.
 * It's 1669. I think the Russians have enough time to recover from the war, and I think that the war may provide the inspiration for the Russians to industrialize.
 * Maybe not 25 years, but significantly.
 * Taking advantage of Kulin's rivalry with the Daung Warrung, settlers in Katimon from Hanthawaddy manage to capture a good part of the tribal confederacy, leading to the chief to issue a formal surrender. Hanthawaddy annexes the Isla la Margarita and connects New Pegu with OTL Araya at 2000 sq km. Hanthawaddy continues upgrading its military with further additions of new artillery and firearms. Hanthawaddy also does a significant amount of work on its navy, introducing ships armed with advanced artillery for shelling coastlines. Jayadeva states that it would be regrettable for a country with such a rich maritime history fall behind so far with its navy. Hanthawaddy announces its staunch support for Russia in the Swedo-Russian War. The Rajah of Toeh Ngoa Nyoing is extremely worried about the fate of the Kola, the delicately-balanced power between Russia and Hanthawaddy which would bring severe economic hardship to its inhabitants in the cold, should a foreign power occupy the Kola. In addition, many share the myth that Sweden may ban trade along the northeast passage, cutting off Hanthawaddy from Toeh Ngoa Nyoing. Supplies are pooled from Hanthawaddy's other colonies. Nevertheless, the rajah is willing to initiate diplomatic talks with Sweden, traditionally an ally of Hanthawaddy. A suprisingly lucrative whaling season helps console fears, and counterract the consolidation of resources for military means.
 * Sweden sends Hanthawaddy an ultimatum. Cease all support for Russia in this war and Sweden will allow Toeh Ngoa Nyoing to continue their activities in peace. However, if Hanthawaddy continues supporting Russia then Sweden will attack from India. A response must be given before 0:00 UTC 28 September.
 * Khoh Hutao, Rajah of Toeh Ngoa Nyoing, is unimpressed with the deal, announcing it will remain firmly in support of Russia. Jayadeva does not receive the message due to the northeast passage freezing over early.
 * Andrew IV declares war on the Ottoman Empire, with the objectiv of conquering all Ottoman-owned Europe (not all the Empire), and asks Russia, Venice, Naples, Portugal and Spain to support hungary on the war.Poland allies with Hungary, and for the third time on his reign, Szabolcs leaves Poland in control of the nobles to lead the armies personally.Öböl expands 2750 sq km inland, and one strip of land from the inland reaches the littoral, not far from the actual littoral (a little bit up north).
 * Robert III of France ask permission to Hungray to send troops to support its invassion and iniciate the Fifth Crusade. He asks Andrew to send ambassadors to Orléans.
 * What? you are asking for me to send troops to support you on your war or you are saying that will support me?
 * I will support you. I ask you to send ambassadors to Orléans and join to my project of crusade.
 * 'I accept both consitions, but i can't send any army to your Crusade, since most of the Hungarian army is invading Ottoman territory.So, i will support, but not militarly.
 * In fact, your invasion is already part of the crusade, but the user of the Papal States did not declared it yet (appropiate, Is that user active? If he is not, who can declare officially the crusade as Pope?).
 * The player is AFK so to speak and the Papal States will revert to a grey state soon as in 1670.
 * Changitistan and Kazakhsan, and Lithuania declare war on sweeden The Russian forces are rounded up and using their larger population. The Updated RUssian Troops are motivated by keeping theri orthodox fait and by defending Mother Russia's territory,Lithuanian troops rush to Russia's aid as Russia asks Anglogermany for aid in the war due to the fact tha Russia. Russia Asks the HAnthawadans not to leavwe their support and Asks Russia's ancient ally, Anglogermany to aid them in the second Russo-Sweedish War. Russians are very patriotic and siberian corps and Cossacks attack from the Northern Sea(arctic). Spetsnaz will resort to using much black powder bombs. Russians amp up militrary tacics and troops are sent to train
 * China declares support for Russia, though they cannot donate troops at this time. Meanwhile, more Aztec/Mayan territory is captured.
 * The Doge of Venice sends his army south to support the Hungarian invasion of the Ottoman Empire along with a sizable fleet to defeat the considerable ottoman ships of the line. They plan not to conquer the Empire, like the Hungarians but simply to capture lost Venetian lands and to expulse them from Europe. They also send Venetian troops to take over the defence of the Mamluks colonies should they be attacked with the goal of annexation within the coming years. They also send naval support to Sweden to fight against Russia.
 * Support the Mamluk colonies?
 * The ones the Naplese colonists have been fighting with for control of Cuba, if they diliberatly violate my claim because I make it, then I will make sure as hell that their picnic is not easy.
 * It's too late, we already took over the Mamluk colony, and the Cherokee people (forget their real name) have already taken the Mamluk colonies in Florida. You would be launching an attack on the colony of Ricasolia itself, the Mamluks on Cuba are subjugated. They have no colonies left for you to defend.
 * Why no algorithm and an unfair complete conquest of the lands in one year, which is completely unrealstic, There would be a little more than "no resistance" plus after saying there was no resistance, you never mentioned it again. Thats against the rules.
 * The conflict lasted more than 1 year. I asked for an algorithim multiple times, but no mod made them. I posted that should an algorithim be made that showed me not gaining the whole colony, I would post that there was new resistance that was successful. Once more, because the Mamluks collapsed, they were unable to defend their colony, so it would be just Naples vs. that tiny colony, which is probably small enough to simply be annexed without the algorithim (a moderator told me in the beginning that a very large and powerful nation can simply annex really small and weak ones for my war against Sardinia)
 * ಠ_ಠ sardinia wasn't weak but hey annoying stuff happens sometimes, plus I think algorithms should be used all the time and in the case of non-player nations there should be an alternate one that calculates how long it takes you to conquer it instead of fighting a one year algorithm and hoping.
 * True. I guess it can be changed that they were aiding resistance fighters against Naples, that were without their aid to minor. In this timeline, Sardinia was weak because Naples already conquered half of them when the first person played as it before they left. In 1670, I will post the beginning of the conflict with the rebels.
 * Yes make the conflict very much like Guerilla Warfare, and try not to mention the Venetians too much as I plan to have them to falsely defect (under orders to do so) and will fight standing battles against the Naplese, so you write the Guerilla Warfare and I'll write the standing battles. And lets try to keep it at a stalemate but one that may eventually effect more than just Cuba.
 * Spain declares war on Portugal. A massive Spainish army enters Portugal on all fronts. The fleet blocks all ports.
 * Venice sends support and sends assistance in the form of a strong Venetian land force. However they say that a full military force would only be ready to assist in a year or two.
 * Joseon supports the Swedes, but only on the condition that they will gain Russian land over Manchuria, as well as Kamchatka. Meanwhile, the military is amped up, and troops are mobilized and sent to the Joseon-Russian border.
 * Can you post up a battle algorithm for this??

1670

 * Naples' Colony of Ricasolia is in chaos. The East Cuban portion and the Bahaman portion are still going smoothly, but te West Cuba portion, recently taken from the Mamluks, dissolves into revolts. King Angelo suspects the Venetians of attempting to take the colony, but he does not have enough forces to fight in both Europe and Cuba, so he is silent in his suspicion. He sends troops to the colony, hoping to stop the revolts before it becomes all out civil war. The three sides in the revolts are the pro-Naples side, mostly the occupying Neapolitan and Christian Cuban native foreces; the Seperatists, a few of the Mamluks and most of the Pagan natives; and the Venetian-Mamluks, composed of most of the Mamluks and some of the pagan natives, as well as many Venetians who claim to be acting without the consent of their Doge.
 * France develop its military: New war orders and provission-routes to Algeria are opened. Robert says that if Russia send a ambassador to Orléans an recognaise the equiality of right of the two branches of the christianity, the support of France in the war will be assured. Robert welcomes the Doge and call a meeting with the Naples' ambassador to make a agreement of mutual benefit.
 * Naples' ambassador, Duke Mario, meets with the King of France to attempt to work out a deal to bring peace to western Europe, although he sees that Eastern Europe is about to be involved in another war.
 * The Doge sends emmissaries to France to see what can be done to secure relative peace in eastern Europe
 * If the result of the Swedo-russian war is irremediable...I'm sorry, I was not enough quick to help you D:.
 * It is still in flux. If France wishes to support Russia then Russia actually has a chance of winning.
 * As I said, if Russia accept my terms (some humility before the catholicism) I will support it.
 * The Vietnamese expand their Puerto Rico colony by 28*50 sq km. They approach the Venetians with a deal on the status of the Bahamas. The Vietnamese will control the portion south of the Venetian colony in exchange for their recognition over Venice's right to settle the rest of the island chain. The New Lithuanians begin a campaign of territorial expansion in Borneo, as they have begin to exploit the resources of the island. Soon income floods into New Lithuanian coffers, and by extension Vietnamese coffers via the annual tribute. New Lithuanian ports have grown exponentially, as they are used as a trade hub for Far East Asian trade. The New Lithuanians live with a standard of living unheard of in the old country, especially in the early days of Russian rule. It was this prosperity that allowed them to intermarry with the local natives of the archipelago on a large scale, with the native tribal languages a combining with Lithuanian to form a unique creole language called Lietuano. Most of the native tribes had converted to Christianity years ago, but were worshipping a combination of Christianity and their own native beliefs. This makes the New Lithuanian branch of the Catholic Church likely to follow the example of the branch in Vietnam. The Vietnamese Emperor has declared that any Vietnamese Chrstian who wishes to return to the Catholic Church may do so, but only after they sign a pledge declaring that they will not let loyalty to Rome go before their loyalty to Huế.
 * The planned divide is on the talk page and is up for negotiation. Theres a plan for a war to engulf the entire northern carribean (Cuba and the Bahamas) which will eventually lead to a peace treaty that we all find amicable.
 * The Russian Tsar sends an ambassador and the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church himself will attend the orleans conference as long as his views are treated with respect(although the Tsar garantees an ambassador and orders him to be very attentive and mindful to others points of view and be verry acceptive of the catholic's beliefs... although there is an 85% chance that the patriarch will go). The Russians send more trained troops to the front. Russian, Changatian, Kazakh, Lithuanian and Cossack troops working together is one of the major scenes of the wars. Another Urban Boom is made in Lithuania and Russia. More anti-russian sentiment arises in West Changitistan. Some pesants flee to the colonies of Indeolkeanskie zemli and novaya kamchatka to avoid the horrors of war. The ballance of the war is changing nearly every battle, nobody knows who will win yet... The Russian Tsar asks all of its allies to aid the Russians in the War as the war is currently in a de facto stalemate. The Russians asks Naples to aid in repulsing Sweedish imperialism under a banner of the church falsely as Russia is another christian nation and The Naplese were against christians attacking other christians in their past statements. The Russains learn from their mistakes in the past year and learn from their mistakes and improve theri tactics(amp up military).
 * France sends troops to the russian borders to support the Tsar in the war. He welcomes the Tsar and his suite, and invites the king and princess of Sweaden to the negotiations.
 * King Gustav seeks more allies in his war against Russia. He sends envoys to Vietnam, Naples and Spain pledging Swedish support in future wars if they help in this one. His troops manage to break the walls of Saint Petersberg and seize the city. Princess Christina visits France and tries to negotiate for a peaceful end to the war with the Tsar via his ambassador in France.
 * St Petersburg doesnt exist yet... it was founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, A Tsar That isnt even born yet.
 * Most probably, the Russian capital still is Moscow, as it was in OTL, and the thing in the place of OTL Satint Petersburg was a fortress called Nyenskans.
 * Robert III wants make peace between Russia and Sweaden. He is disposed to support the princess in her effort to avoid more hostilities. The youngest son of Robert, prince Henri, Duc de Cote d'Ivoire, wants marry with the princess and create an alliance.
 * The armies go south of the Hungarian borders, taking some territory on the process, especially south of Nandorfehervár.Andrew IV asks for help from Naples once again.Öböl expands 2000 sq km inland towards the littoral.
 * Burgundians ports begin to trade with Venice, bringing the economy. Burgundy begins to have a very stable period of peace because they have had after the war of Flanders. Charles I told that has interests in the Mediterranean Sea, and that Savoy may be a target. The Kingdom of Burgundy is again isolated, only relying on the alliance with France. Proposes new economic agreement with the Swedes, an emissary travels to give the proposal.
 * France ask support of Burgundy in the war against Algeria, and send ambassadors to Orléans.
 * Venice brings its main army back from fighting the Ottoman forces but leaves an occupying force and then the Doge orders the army to prepare to invade Savoy (within which much discontentment has arisen between the Italian south and French north) to enforce Venetian claims however offers Burgundy a small enclave on the western border of Savoy in return for assistance in the war. They also offer France the territory laid out in the Savoy Proclamation in return for bringing Savoy under control in 1670. While they wait the military is upgraded with Milanese sharpshooters and several recently deserted HRR infantry. Meanwhile in Cuba, the highly prestigious noble Arrigo the Younger, a veteran of the Venetian-Hungarian war and Milanese war, recently deserted with a large fleet and reasonable army which allied themselves with the Mamluk rebels furthermore the Bahamas colony has allied itself with him, he funds the war with money in Venice, Milan, France and many other Christian states, his motives are currently unknown. The Venetians say that the Bahamas are technically not currently under the control of the Venetian authorities and so no deal can be currently worked out with Vietnam or Naples. Also new negotiations begin with the newly re-established Papal States under a new Pope about Unionism, most meetings are painful and many insults are thrown but progress is being made.
 * France accepts the venetian offer and will support Venice in case of war. In the discussion I put a map of the possible post-war divission of Savoy.
 * Naples' former Archbishop, who is the new Pope (Benvolio's and Angelo's vast donations to the church over the course of several decades has granted Naples enormous influence over the church) declines to join with Venice, citing the southern portions of Italy, Naples, as being much more religious and generous to the Church. Angelo's offer of placing the Papal state under a protectorate of Naples is much better received.
 * Don't want to seem like I am power hungry, but Naples has been donating obscene amounts of money to the Church for many many turns now, to the extent that they almost bankrupted themselves earlier, so it only makes sense that they would be the ones to exert more influence over the Papal states. I have been planning this ever since Altair became less active, not in response to your moves in particular.
 * Venice along with the other Northern Union states see this as an act of agression towards them however do not mount any military aggression against it, they just act politically aggressive. Meanwhile Milan finally mobilizes under threats to break the treaty and joins Venice militaristic campaigns.
 * Russia asks for Neopolitan support in the war as the Sweeds are engaging in imperialism in another christian nation.
 * Naples is afraid of war in the Caribbean, so they want to save up their military. Naples, angry at the Northern States for defying them and the Pope, stops protesting Venice's domination of them, seeing it as a lost cause.
 * A tiny ammount of support would help... il repay you by helping you in the carribean after the Sweedish war.
 * Robert III asks the Pope to go to the Council and incite the other christians states to send ambassadors too.
 * Hanthawaddy sends a small amount of support to the Ottoman war, wishing to take over the colonies of Aden and Diu, which would be lost to the Ottomans should the Empire lose its coastline. Hanthawaddy continues updating its navy, despite a famine in Bengal. Hanthwaddy wraps up the Kulin war, taking its new possessions, along the coast. Hanthawady also updates the navy near Toeh Ngoa Nyoing. Explorers make an attempt to traverse the ice route between Toeh Ngoa Nyoing and Svalbard, ending in utter failure. OTL Araya expands south 800 sq km, bordering the Vietnamese colony. Katimon's northern settlement expands north 1000 sq km.
 * Spainish forces move farther into portugul claiming more land.
 * Joseon, finished with all preparations, invades Russia, crushing the few troops that are in the Far East. (Will post more later)
 * I think the war has already begun, and it is too late to build up your military for the algorithim
 * Okay, then.

1671

 * The Russians amanage to make certain advances and push the Swedish more and more out of their territory as the Swedes attacked and had gained some ground due to that fact. The Russians Use some Guerrilla warfare of the Saami peoples and Gaugamellan Blitz tactic to push the Swedes away(even though they are not fully out of Russia for now). PS: we need to decide how long the war will last...so we can make actual war posts and know for how long. Everyone seem fine with 4-5 years? or longer mabe?(PS there will soon be a civil war in Changitistan nobody...please nobody intervene, it was because of Changatai not necessarily wanting to go to war with Russia and then Getting mad and declaring themselves not a vassal anymore.)
 * Naples donates as much money as the can to the Papal States, in order to gain more influence in the area. They also begin to build forts along the northern border, having found that the reckless expansion of the previous Pope under the "Holy Roman Republic" nearly bankrupted the Papal states. However, they can only provide minimum resources to this project, with the majority of their efforts being to attempt to squash the revolts in the former Mamluk colony. They blame Venice indirectly for causing these revolts, but have no proof since the general officially deserted. As more troops pour into the three-way colonial civil war, even tribes which are in free areas of Cuba begin to get dragged into the conflict.
 * The Vietnamese expand their Caribbean colony by 28*50 sq km. They create an enclave around a port settlement built in the OTL location of Puerto Plata. This is to help better connect their Caribbean colony to Vietnamese claims in the Bahamas. They approach the French with a deal dividing Hispaniola roughly along the French colony's northern border, which they allow to remain fluid until all potential disputes are ironed out. The Vietnamese wish to deal with any problems before they spark conflict like in the Neapolitan Cuba colony. There is a growing movement in New Lithuania to gain more autonomy, or to possibly free New Lithuania from Vietnam. The movement's progress in towards the latter is halted when the Vietnamese governor agrees to address their grievances. The Vietnamese Governor promises to do all he can to eventually see New Lithuania free and allied with Vietnam.
 * Haiti and New France both expand itself 1150 sq km. The king offers the following deal to Vietnam: Vietnam can has a portion of land in the northern Hispaniola, (no greater than 30 - 40 px) and the rest of the isle will be french. Also the french will gives permission to the Vietnamese to create routes and industries in the french territory (in the island). Observing the recent disputes about the territory claims, Robert III call again to all his allies and other christian countries (even the princess of Sweden, who is already there) to go to the council an fix new borders and claims and avoid any future dispute about the territory. The prince Henri, suitor of princess of Sweden, travels to Rome and asks the Pope to declare officially the Fifth Crusade.
 * The armies keep advancing.the ones attacking from the province of Albania advance quickly in the year, and Athens is taken in October. small advances into Peloponnesus also are seen after that.the armies attacking from Nandorfehervár advance, reaching OTL Nisk in the process.the mainland settlement of Canariae insulae expands 1000 sq km, and Újfundlandi és a Labrador expands 1200 sq km, 150 on the OTL Smallwood reservoir settlement, and 1050 sq km inland, on its central part.
 * King Gustav dies of pneumonia a week after crossing a Russian river in January. The heiress receives the news just after agreeing to marry Prince Henri. The wedding is postponed until after her coronation. Christina travels back to Sweden and manages to restore order to the nation. Her first announcement is the end of the war with Russia. She apologizes to the Russian Tsar. Now Queen Christina plans to marry her groom in a massive ceremony in Rome with many heads of state invited.
 * Burgundy has sent ambassadors to France. Peace still prevails in Burgundy, even in these moments of tension experienced in Europe. Burgundian fleet has been a success and the market economy is safe in its journey from the North Sea to Venice. The Army has experienced its peak because of the peace and tensions against Savoy, leads to Burgundian nationalism to the war (but not officially). Messengers are sent of new to Naples for the purpose of military and economic alliance for the prevalence of Christianity in Europe.
 * Naples signs onto the military and economic alliance with Burgundy, hoping for more allies in the war in the Caribbean.
 * Venice invades Savoy, with crushing force a large army although slightly disorganized spills across the border and secures the south with ease, due to many Italian forces deserting to join Venice meanwhile more difficult fighting occurs in the north as French regions fight with more vigor, Milan sends troops to support them and Venice calls for allies to join it in the war. Meanwhile Arrigo the Younger constructs a secret base of operations underground in Cuba, the tunnels extend far out to several areas of Cuba These tunnels will not be discovered until the end of the war allowing quick routes of attack, this is shown by the arrival of the main body of the Venetian-Mamluk force at a Pro-Neapolitan camp in the south, ending in its destruction and the very fast soon after destruction of a Pro-Neapolitan fort in the north east, whose main force had been dispatched to intercept the Venetian-Mamluk force, the Pagan natives meanwhile have been building forces not engaging in major battles. The Venetian forces on the Ottoman coast, are severely attacked several times, however after re-establishing Venetian controlled crusader states, many new warriors become available. Meanwhile Venetian troops who were involved in the Sedish-Russian war are stranded, and begin to settle down on the northern coasts of both nations, at least 5,000 men and women.
 * France invades Savoy to support Venice and realize its claims. The king ask the neapolitanian and venetian ambassadors to selves the conflict with his mediation (started a few turns before). Robert ask, please, to the Venetians not support the fake-relegions peoples, like Mamluks.
 * Burgundians invades Savoy to support Venice and realize its claims.
 * Naples sends as many spare troops as they can to Ricasolia, but they cannot stop revolts, which with the help of the Mamluk-Venetians and the rising-up of the Pagan natives has resulted in a full-fledged war occurring. Many of the Eastern Ricasolian soldiers desert, fleeing into the jungles to the west so they don't have to fight. This is due to tales that the Western war has become a deathtrap, with massive casualties for the Neapolitans but few gains, and brutal acts of violence occurring. Angelo states that Venice should help Naples deal with the rogue Venetian general.
 * The Venetians state that they cannot deal with him because of the risk of any forces being sent there may refuse to fight or may desert and add to the carnage, and any actual heavy military action against him is highly unrecommended, his forces know the Bahamas inside out and are using both unconventional and conventional warfare to destroy opposition, plus the current European territories need to be secured. However Venice does send an agent to speak with the General.
 * Spain push all the opposing troops left in portugul to the southern tip for a final battle.
 * You can't just annex a player nation like that, an NPC with mod permission maybe, but not a whole player nation.
 * Continue to wage war and this time with Milanese support you should be able to break them.
 * China continues to take more Aztec and Mayan lands. Meanwhile, in China, the first draft of a best-selling book is written: Crouching Tiger . It is considered a masterpiece still to this day. The military is also amped up this year.
 * Yeah, you can't really have a bestselling book when there's no industry. Perhaps you can circulate it among the nobles, but that's about it.


 * Hanthawaddy expands its military's size by creating a set program for recruitment in villages. During the dry season, men would work the fields while a standing guard of nobles and mercenaries would be the army. In the wet season, military training would take place. In peacetime, the military would be content with one or two representatives per village, but one soldier per family is expected in wartime. Many soldiers are sent overseas to fight for Russia in the Great Northern War. OTL Guajira expands west by 500 sq km along the north coast. Bi Hloa expands south 1200 sq km. Katimon's northern settlement is expanded north by 300 sq km.
 * I dont think that Scandinator's that down for a great Northern War...realy too bad though.Without King Gustav the War is basicaly pointless as Christina does not want war(seamingly)... I was looking forward to Declaring Russia an Empire(officialy) after this :'( -Lx
 * Joseon invades more of Russia’s Far East, which is poorly supplied and armed. Entire platoons are coming to the Koreans to surrender, while generals and other high ranking officers surrender to the Koreans, giving them a wealth of intelligence on the area. Meanwhile, a secret Korean infiltration teams sneak into China (TOP SECRET), poised to assassinate national leaders in the case of war. This is considered a suicide mission, and they all are volunteers, willing to die for the Korean cause. Also, the Korean navy moves in, in the position to engage the Ramanian navy, if necessary.
