 * How in the world did Dakota get so big so fast?
 * They attacked and annexed Ute lands. Scandinator (talk) 23:37, December 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * I still think that this Ute conquest is unrealistic.even up to the 19th century, the Northern american tribes never subjugated each other to that extent.or, couple that with the fact that there are no traction animals on the area, so managing a empire becomes more difficult.or the fact that the Lakota have no centralized government.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 21:23, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * My genoan colony in east Cuba is missing. Bauglir Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All (talk) 21:01, December 16, 2012 (UTC)
 *  Isn't it is East Hispanola??Scandinator (talk) 23:37, December 16, 2012 (UTC) 
 * The outpost in East Hispaniola was a failure​, most people left and went to Cuba, so the big one is the cuban, the one in East Hispaniola still exists but its smaller than the map shows, and in the game is little more than a town with a few slave plantations. Bauglir Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All (talk) 20:32, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

 * Because i always forget to check them.Ah, and your rendition of Akmola on the latest map fixing doesn't seem right, as according with this map, Akmola doesn't control its own capital.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:03, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay I expanded Akmola a bit more. Also did Vinland and Sumatra changes too. Note I just added the Vinland expansion event because the last time I did it, it seemed to be forgotten so I've just done it again, that's why I went back & added the mod event.

 * I added the one in West Papua but Lake Nicaragua is surrounded at all sides so I can't add that other colony of your's ~Von.
 * Did algorithm but was too lazy to calculate how long the war would take, but I had taken 37% at max. Enough time has elapsed in the game for me to annex it anyway. Please merge the Khosut Khanate with China. CrimsonAssassin (talk) 15:49, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * I fixed this ~Von.
 * I don't seem to find the (revamped) colony of New Alexandria; it's on eastern Sulawesi. Fed (talk) 05:20, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Its there, I've added some more expansion. You may need to zoom in a fair bit to see the colony. ~Von

i hereby claim my Expansion of the last ten years, as if you see in the last maps i have not expanded in the map despite my post always stating in them my expansion, and aswell the two colonies One in Northcarolinian-Georgian border on the Us and one south to the Scandinavian one, i also claim my 10 Years of expansion on them since 1560 when i founded them after 50 years of my last legitim Colony in 1510 when i founded my two colonies and the expansion rates have been this ones '''"colonies expand neu antwerp 750 sq km venizela 500 sq km Antilia expands 750 sq km, Argentium 500 sq km Brasilea 750 sq km Nouvelle Dijon expands 250 sq km and Nouveau Charlesopolis 250 sq km, the Anarcadier expands 250 sq km."

Infrastructure doesn't count for your score unless you are the defender.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 22:40, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Are you sure? Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 22:49, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Yes.it's even on the rules.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:07, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

And plus, your capital is pretty much in the other side of the world, the chance for NPC's isn't random (is the number right after your number), and your score can only be 3 on motive, because you aren't defending your ownteritory, and fighting to help an ethnicity on their nation is pretty much implausible, since it is an native nation, after all.their motive is 10, as you already had shown pretensions of annexing them before, and all the other motives that give 7 do not apply.and, your ages are pretty much the same, as the formation of the Haudenosaunee and the last government change of Brandenburg happened on the same timeframe.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:28, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

OK. I'll fix the math in the morning; I'm going to sleep now. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 07:17, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

OK I'm doing this all over again. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 23:18, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Again, you did the economy wrong, the Haudenosaunee appeared in 1458, so it was more than 100 years ago.And there ain't no way their motive can't be 10, counting the precendents.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:44, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

No, it's five. I'm trying to get as much as possible, not all of it. And these advantages are becoming really implausible. How on earth can native tribes fight back armed Europeans? Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 07:26, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Well, in OTL, the Haudenosaunee themselves survived until the 18th century.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 09:39, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

I also might be absent from today until tuesday, or it is thursday? i always confuse these the day before wednesday.but don't worry, the map will be ready before 1570 ends, and i already told AP to take my place on posting in case that i can't access the internet there.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 17:53, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

The day before wednesday is tuesday. Also I can do the map if you want. You'll probably want to update your colonies yourself mind you, so take the current updated map for 1565 and upload it for 1570 with your colonial expansion on it and I'll do the rest.

I think you need a leader, else the military development scores and the economy scores can't be done.i assume the leader would be likely Rumelia, ain't it?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 17:39, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

I'd say Rumelia would be the leader. Fed (talk) 17:51, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah Rumelia makes the most sense.

Also wouldn't relgion be the reason? The Mahdi wants to spread Islam rather than gaining economic resources.

Also thank you very much for making the algorithm I was dreading doing it. --VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 18:42, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

The HRE states are missing. I'll add them. And can all the Caliphate states always give M or S in a war? Sounds kind of ridiculous... Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 18:55, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

That is a bit ridiculous, considering that most of the turns by the Caliphate in 1566 are "builds up its economy/military", with no word of being involved in the war, yet their names are still in the algorithm. ChrisL123 (talk) 19:21, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

What he said. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 19:34, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

The Byzantium side has a larger colonial empire(Scandinavia, Venice, etc). Not to mention the penalties for recent wars on the side of the Caliphate. Isn't there penalties for having 3+ wars at once(Byzantium, Morocco, Adal, etc).AP (talk) 19:46, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

No you misunderstand the algorithm, its colonial empire of the countries which are fighting in the war only. So only the colonial empires of Byzantium and Caliphate are considered.

And the wars being waged at the same time are being done by different provinces of the caliphate so that stuff don't apply. Its the same as penalizing Venice for a war fought by Brandenburg just because they both in the HRE. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 22:22, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

We're talking about the leaders here. And you guys don't have a colonial empire, just an empire. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 22:25, December 30, 2012 (UTC)

 * Yep. Airlinesguy (talk) 00:16, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

On the other algorithms, the coalition's colonial empire was considered. The penalties make no sense because there should be a hefty penalty for fighting a 3 front war. Wouldn't that be a bit difficult for anyone? And that example made no sense because the Caliphate is a single entity with provinces while the HRE is a loose federation of sovereign states.AP (talk) 01:17, December 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Byzantium are not fighting in a coalition. And my example makes perfect sense if that is how we've been treating the caliphate for the past 100 years. Please read the rules and check past examples properly before applying them to this case. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 14:11, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

You need to add the other russian states to the allies list. They're being invaded so they'll be fighting too. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 22:58, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

WOAH! I leave for a couple of days, and when I come back I'm being ANNEXED? The Royal Guns (talk) 20:56, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

A) Since Poland and Novgorod are also leaders, you must count their population- AND ANYWAY ours is 8 digits.

As a result, you also have to count their military development and Economic development, and Infrastructural development.

Next, our motive is 10, because you have more than sufficeint power to annex us- as you just proved.

Baltica will be aiding us, as they are part of Russia and a player nation- add another M, if not L.

And shouldn't half of Europe be supporting us? The Royal Guns (talk) 21:01, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

You guy's haven't posted for a while so I doubt your development scores will be anything to shout about. Secondly, Europe isn't supporting you because they've got their own wars to deal with. Regardless, you'll be independent again in 1575 (a mere 6 years away) so stop moaning; plus then you'll have most of Russia/eastern europe flattened so it'll be easy for you to conquer them.

Basically keep quiet for a while & you'll have you territory back and more soon enough giving you a chance to unite Russia under your exclusive control as you'll have the prime position to take over all of Russia yourself once all the new Russian states gain independence from the Caliphate in 6 years. Remember this is our empire we're breaking up in 1575 so make it quite hard or easy for you to pick up the pieces. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:55, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Russia is annexed into the caliphate in 1570 as the war started in 1567.

 * The German Catholic League will most likely have dominion over the Kappelist states
 * Brandenburg - Mecklenburg
 * Saxony - Altmark
 * Burgundy - Munster
 * Venice - Montferrat and Milan as vassal republics
 * Papal States - Corsica and Genoa

Unless Brandenburg and Saxony want to expand further into the Kappelist league (Hesse to Saxony and Lauenburg to Brandenburg?) But yeah, congrats again! ChrisL123 (talk) 03:05, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, both states would like this. We have destroyed the threat to God's will! Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 06:00, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Imperial victory. If the leaders want land from Bavaria, they get ((38/(38+29))*2)-1 = 13.43%, and the length of the war will need to be determined.

Discussion
Bavaria's government did not change, many reichstag members, as well as the royal family, were secretly Kappelist. (thank you for setting up the algorithm scraw, i'm not good at it.)

No, you were fighting to leave the HRE, and they're fighting to stop you. Not sure what that would mean in terms of motive scores, though. ChrisL123 (talk) 22:29, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

The reason is immaterial it is still a fight for my life, as per rules it should be a 10 I've not broken law in succession, it is in the treaty and our constitution if they refuse, I've not done anythingAndr3w777 (talk) 22:43, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Similar to what I said above, leaving the HRE and becoming part of the Kappelist league would be a change in a government but it'd be a popular revolt so you have to multiply your final score by 1.5. Therefore it'd be life or death because your new non-HRE government is fighting to stay out of the HRE and retain its current kappelist independent government. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 22:56, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

The Imperial's motive isn't to destroy their nation though. Their purpose is to stop the Bavarian government from leaving the HRE. Likewise, Bavaria's motive is an independence war. I believe the right motive is Defending (fighting to defend territory you already own, +5).

i suppose for the ske of arguement it can be anywhere between a 5 and a 7. Since it is merely a protectionist war, this succession to be clear, has been planned, and does not directly involve Kappelianism as of yet.Andr3w777 (talk) 01:45, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

The Caliphate
Let me make something perfectly clear. I don't think the Caliphate's recent actions qualify as jumping the shark. Thatt happened a long time ago. To refrence the Nostalgia Critic the Caliphate jumped the shark then went back to shoot it in the balls, raping it, eating it's flessh, consuming it's soul mounting it's head on the wall and then doing the same to twelve more sharks just to be sure. When the hell are we going to decide that enough is enough? When the entire European continent is worshipping Allah? I would get off their backs if they just stopped doing implausible things. At this point they've become serious competition with the Mongol Empire at it's prime for the largest land empire. It just pisses me off how bloated the dammned Caliphate is getting. It was to big ecades ago, and it's definitely too big now. There need to be consequences.Yank 03:48, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

What he said. All the way.

Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 03:50, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Alright, I have enough with this nonesense. I've been posting the same thing aagain and again since the damned Great Holy War and you're still calling us the progenitor of all implausibility. We have been planning this for ages, and it'll be "enough" when the Mahdi falls down and the Muslim armies die or flee to their area in chaos.

You would get off our backs when we were 2 square kilometre enclaves in Crusader land because for some reason you have a huge bias against everything Muslim.

Nothing at all close to "competing with the Mongol Empire", since, as you could see if you opened a map of the time, we're barely larger than the damned Umayyads but you still call us a source of implausibility even though you have a HRE that can actually unite, and (this is especially ironic), a group of what at the time was a bunch of barbaric tribes worse than the Mongols at their worst colonising America. Fed (talk) 04:20, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

First of all, the HRE had everything planned since the NINETEEN SIXTIES of Principia Moderni. Also you guys expanded at the same rate you are now before this "Mahdi" came.

Hell, I had no problems whatsoever with the original Caliphate. The you guys gallioned into the Balkans, Persia, India, and Central Asia.

You're way larger than the original Umayyad Empire. Look how far you people moved into India and Central Asia.

The HRE could have united OTL. Problem was, there were several problems that happened OTL along the way that didn't happen ATL. Also, who else is going to colonize Europe? Venice had capabilities. That said, they used them in this game. Brandenburg? That's the might of Spain kicking in. Nothing else to say, because we're the ONLY ONES colonizes in the Americas. (Oh, Burgundy? That's your OTL France in South America.)

Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 04:29, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

The Caliphate cannot last more than a decade without a major collapse. You all gave me an estimate of 35 more years about 35 turns ago, so they need to start collapsing now. LurkerLordB (Talk) 04:30, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

What Yank said basically sums up what's wrong with the Caliphate(graphic, but effective). Fed, look at the next map and you'll see the implausibility of the Caliphate's actions(IE CONQUERING RUSSIA, Adal, Morocco, half the damn Indian subcontinent, almost all of Central Asia. You guys are so implausible that you guys are going to border the German states and Scandinavia! If this was real history, you guys would have lost-- hands down. BUT since their isn't any penalty for having a 4-FRONT war and the fact that an algorithm decides the fate of a nation, you guys get away with it. All your planning is a thinly-veiled way of getting away with straight-up implausibility.AP (talk) 04:36, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

The only people to historically conquer Russia were the Mongols. You are not in any way, shape, or form, the Mongols, nor do you resemble them and their sheer power. End of story. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 04:42, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and not to mention that they like to divide areas into smaller and smaller provinces in order to get more military strength on algorithms. For example, Dulkadir, Trebizond, Karaman, and Candar could all be amalgamated into the Anatolia province but they keep them separate to get that extra +3. The list goes on and on...AP (talk) 04:43, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Russia, the Indian provinces, and the Anatolian ones will all revolt the next turn. Remember, if the result of the algorithm is implausible, it can be blocked- what should have happened with Russia. The Caliphate is going to collapse into a bloody mess for the next ten years because they are overextended like crazy. LurkerLordB (Talk) 04:52, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

For heaven's sake. 'Do you even read what I write? or do you pass it off as "oh those crazy Moslems are being evil and writing implausibilities again"?!'

The DME has also have everything planned since the start of PM2. Hell, I proposed the Mahdi to happen before 1500.

The wars in the Balkans are OTTOMAN, India is partly an inheritance of sorts of somebody who left the game and partly due to helping our ally. If you notice, Bengal won more land than us, but sure, because they can be influenced by Europe they are perfectly fine.

The Umayyad Emirate also controlled Central Asia, and it doesn't matter since Yankovic, complaining as hard as he possibly can, told us we were starting to beat the bloody MONGOL EMPIRE. Which is not at all the case. But sure, as you said, either we aren't the Mongols or we are, and since Yankovic says we are the Mongols, then I guess we can take over bloody Russia. And plenty of countries have BEAT Russia in their own land. Do "Poland", "Sweden" and "Crimea" ring any bells?

I don't mind Europe colonising America. I mind the Incas converting to Christianity and the Manchu tribes randomly becoming an empire more organised than China and colonising America. That is as implausible as the Caliphate, but since it either a) didn't affect European players or b) helped them, OF COURSE nobody complained. Since we're complaining about the Balkans and India, I feel I can complain about this too.

The HRE could have united in OTL? sure, with a 1170 AD POD and no Reformation.

I gave you an estimate of 35 more years 35 turns ago. I gave Von an estimate of 1500 in 1470. I'm lousy at math.

We are expanding tenfold because, y'know, we're in a short phase of mad expansion that follows collapse. In OTL we've lost? Really? because as far as I can see,         .

Dulakdir, Karaman and Candar are not part of the Anatolia province because in-game they have their own dynasty and out of game it leaves Dean with less provinces than the rest of us. Trebizond's separtae because 1 it's Von's and 2 it's mostly Greek.

And I get Russia and India, but the Anatolian provinces revolting make no fucking sense at all. But sure, that point of view comes from somebody who plays a Muslim nation, so it surely costs a tenth of yours.

Fed (talk) 05:00, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

First of all, I am neither George W. Bush or another racist white person. I have no bias against you guys just because you're Muslim.

That said, Bengal is in India. For Pete's sake man, the damn Caliphate is based out of Turkey and Arabia. India? Funny. Over 50%? Hysterical.

The Umayyad Caliphate DID NOT  PLACE ITS NORTHERN BORDER IN KAZAKHSTAN . They hardly made it past Uzbekistan.

Also, you guys are larger than the Umayyads. The lack of Spain is made up by Turkey, the Balkan, Transcaucasia, and oh, what's that? Oh yes, ' KAZAKHSTAN. '

Also, your revolution is not like the ones listed. (And checking all those links was very annoying. Try to avoid that in the future.) The Mahdi was the existing Caliph. Do not name Alexander the Great. That psychopath did inherit his throne, yes, but he got stopped in India and Central Asia. And Africa. (No Ethiopia, see.)

Also, I think just because it's Von's is no excuse for it to stay apart.

Anatolian revolts? I have to agree on this one. A little farfetched. Less farfetched than the sheer size of the Caliphate, though.

Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 05:14, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I meant Balkan, not Anatolian, for the revolting provinces, sorry.

The Caliphate's expansion, other than Russia, is not super-implausible more tham standard map game fare. However, they've had their expansion, and now its time for their collapse. Yes, you gave me an estimate of 35 years 35 years ago. Now those years are up, and it is time for the Caliphate to implode. The higher the pedastal, the harder the fall... LurkerLordB (Talk) 05:24, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

You seem to be George Bush, since you all seem to be perfectly free to be as implausible as you damn well wish but we can't do anything.

That said, the Caliphate is based out of Turkey and Arabia. Alexander's Empire was based out of Pella. Trajan's Empire was based out of Rome. Charles V's Empire was based out of Vienna. Persia? Egypt? America? Funny. Over 50&? Hysterical.


 * sighs*. AGAIN. We ARE larger than the Umayyads, but YANKOVIC. TOLD. US. WE. WERE. OF. THE. SIZE. OF. THE. MONGOLS*

I'm not avoiding something I use to prove my point, thank you very much. Alexander the Great got stopped where he stopped having knowledge of the world. Was his army not scared, tired, and going into lands they didn't know, they would've gone farther. The Mahdi's army is not scared, is not tired, and knows Europe.

No, but dynasties and being of a different culture are.

Less farfetched than the Soviet Union. Or the British Empire. Or the modern United States. Or Napoleon's Empire. Or Charles V's Empire. Or Charlemagne's Empire. Or Belisarius' Empire. Need I go on?

The Balkans also make no sense. LIKE A THIRD OF THE ARMY IS PLACED THERE. Another proof that people don't pay attention at what the Muslim provinces post.

AGAIN. I gave you a standard of 35 years 35 years ago. It went wrong because I am lousy at math. My previous estimates? 1489, 1492, 1500, 1511. Does that mean that the Mahdi should've rosen in any of that dates? Because I'll be glad to edit him in. Fed (talk) 05:27, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not Yank. That alone derails your entire argument. The Soviet Union rose from the Russian Empire. Less territories, in fact. US today? What about it? Napoleon's Empire? Puppet states, not direct annexation. Besilarius? Wait, who? Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 05:32, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

You're on Yank's argument. Just because you're not him doesn't derail his argument. You agree with his argument, and we apparently being larger than the Mongol Empire even when somebody that is not blind and can see a map can show you its not the case.

Fine then the Russian Empire. the US today is a HUGE state that arose out of lucky accidents and events in which it did the right choices at the right time. Napoleon's Empire still hugely spread. You know you can search on Wikipedia for stuff? Belisarius was a general who almost restored the Byzantine Empire to the Roman Empire's extension. Is he implausible too? Fed (talk) 05:37, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

All of those examples grew either far less rapidly and as much as the Caliphate has, and several of them have had far more advanced technology as well. Your previous estimates have shown that you've delayed the collapse for about 80 years. It's time for the Caliphate to go.

And stop making baseless racism accusations against anyone who questions you. LurkerLordB (Talk) 05:38, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I said you're not the same size as the Mongol Empire. What's wrong with you?

And what Lurk said is exactly the rest of my argument. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 05:40, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Excuse me? What's wrong with me? and the "fuck them" in Andrew's chat? Don't talk like that to me again.

And YANK said I was. I was replying to Yank. I have repeatedly stated that we are larger than the damned Umayyads and that the Mongol post was adressed at Yankovic.

I'm not making baseless racism accusations, I'm stating that since in the game we are "evil moslems" you don't read my comment.

Far less rapidly? Is Alexander's Empire, or Napoleon's, or Hitler's or Belisarius', all of which lasted twenty years, risen more slowly than the Caliphate? Did a two year conquest of the Aztec and the Inca, itself only thirty years away from the discovery of America, last more than an 80-year process? the math doesn't make up to me.

And I've delayed the collapse 80 years? No, all those estimates show I don't know how long would the Caliphate take. Because really, otherwise it would've been a 5-year thing with no sense. We told you something and know you're clinging on to it even though I've told you again and again that was not an estimate and was wrong since our math was off.

Fed (talk) 05:45, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Fuck them also being let them get screwed; aka Russia. You're getting a little confused here...

And who said you were "evil Moslems" other than yourself?

Also, we are not counting the present Mahdiate, as it is simply a direct extension of the Caliphate formed however-long-ago it was.

Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 05:49, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Well, since context is not the easiest thing to get out of a text, fine.

Nobody I grant, but you are still not reading my post. I assume it's because I'm arguing for the Mahdinate. If that's not the correct thing, fine.

And I am also counting it. The Caliphate has lasted about 80 years, so it's taken a lot more to reach its current form than any of the empires have.

I'm going to sleep now, but could you all please take a look at my argument and read the whole point? Because I've been repeating some things since in-game decades ago and that's what's been annoying me to no edge. Fed (talk) 05:53, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Like all of those 20-year empires, the Caliphate will fall. Furthermore, you cannot equate a Spanish conquest of a native nation with those of the Caliphate. You fail to realize the severity of your implausibility. Think about it. Russia is enough to convict you; then you add in Adal, Morocco, Ethiopia, Byzantium, Central Asia, India, the Syriac plot to invade Cyprus, the Algerian plot to "invade Europe,ETC and you get the grand prize for most implausible map game move. My point being that the Caliphate is way overdue for collapse.AP (talk) 05:55, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I am going to say this ONCE.

Cut the arguing.

And, for the record? SS is correct.

Lordganon (talk) 05:55, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Anyone using gratuitous profanity in this argument like what was posted in that chat will get suspended, it has no place here, and that's the final warning.

When will your math be right? It was wrong 80 days ago, it was wrong 70 days ago, it was wrong 60 days ago, it was wrong 35 days ago, why should I believe that it is right now? Can you give me a definite date, very soon by which it will suffer a violent collapse, either by the players or by moderator events? Otherwise, I'm destroy in in the next several turns. LurkerLordB (Talk) 06:04, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

*Sigh*

Why do you think we bothered to make the Caliphate page so detailed? You people have had access to the Caliphate/Mahdi plans since the beginning of the game and the long discussions about the plans. Doing all of this now and claiming ignorance is your own fault, especially when you've been commenting on our planning page about our plans. You've known all along that the (who started to rule in 1566) was going to rule as the prophesied redeemer of Islam who will rule for seven, nine or nineteen years. His army thinks that he was sent by God to conquer the world and that in 1575 or so the world will end so they are going to fight like there is no tomorrow thinking that they are fighting for God's own general.

It ends in 1575, as should the world should have ended sometime between 1573 and 1575. When it reaches 1576 the feelings that the Mahdi is a fraud will reach boiling point and he will be discovered to be so. The Muslim armies in disarray will collapse and all of the conquered people's will form their own independent nations and Islam will collapse as the bulk of all Muslim's will have their faith spat out as the Mahdi stuff turns out to be lies. So yeah 1576 will mean no more Caliphate. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 13:16, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

I have one question, and one question only.

When Russia comes back in 1575, can we get the *1.5 bonus now? Since we're leading a revolution? Please? The Royal Guns (talk) 21:08, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah when the player states which gain independence from the Caliphate from 1575 onwards, then those nations will be new nations but it'd be a popular revolution. There will be a lot of new states and much territory in civil disarray though so you won't get back all of your former territory back straight away. No large empires will gain independence from the Caliphate as the various ethic & cultural groups will not give up the chance to be their own independent nation without a fight. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 21:32, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Why did your Mahdi plans take so long to occur? I had been operating under the assumption that your plans would happen earlier, and I had given you multiple warnings months ago that the Caliphate was nearing collapse. Why did you fail to carry out your plans soon enough?

But anyways, I'll give you 6 more years, but by 1576 they need to be seriously breaking up (in a damaging war way, not a way that lets a bunch of powers form from the ruins), or I might snap and destroy the Middle East via asteroids or something.

LurkerLordB (Talk) 23:55, January 2, 2013 (UTC)

Seriously? Europes players are just pissed because thet dont want to get there rearends beaten into the dirt. They didnt seem to mind doing it to the Caliphate earlier in the game? And ss abd other guys swearing? I thought you guys said only "immature" people do that. Double standard guys.

I'm planning for the Persian/Turkish states to be broken up into dozens of small little successor states, so there is no worry of an empire from ashes there. Von basically explained our argument. However, as a general form of internet-respect, can we all agree to read each other's post before arguing. It cuts a lot of unnecessary arguing from whichever side. (This applies to more that our current scenario with the Caliphate.) Also, to correct the terminology used, the Caliphate is no more. The Mahdiate, which is now in place, is to fall at given time.

What?

There is something wrong with the algorythm.Adal is in civil disarray.as such, the amount of territory that you can take is multiplied by 1,5 and in the part of how much you actually get on the war, you drop the "2 x years" part.And Adal's nation age score shouuld be -5 because there had been 12 years since the last government change.It still doesn't change the fact that Adal is annexed.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:25, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

And shouldn't be Ethiopia's Adalese war be counted as a recent war?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:35, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Again minus 1 or 2 points, still doesn't change the fact Adal is annexed. Besides it'll be independent again within a decade.

But I didn't know about the special results rules for civil disarray nations, I thought it was just normal rules or expansion into them. I will remember for the future. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:09, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Why in every Caliph/Mahdi-ate war that you're fighting lately, West Qonyulu is a leader?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 11:34, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

And why are some of these wars never included in the "Recent Wars" section of the algorithm? You literally have 5 wars visible on the talk page, and yet they weren't included (and points weren't deducted) on the First and Second Mahdi's Wars. ChrisL123 (talk) 06:49, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah West Qoyunlu shouldn't be a leader, especially considering West Qoyunlu's military & economic development scores aren't included in that algorithm. As for the recent wars, they all started at the same time and involving different provinces. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 18:58, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

So we can write off West Qonyulu's "leading" as a mistake.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:47, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Russia, Post-Caliphate
Just saying, I realize that Russia will not be fully intact after the fall of the Caliphate, but because I have the Russian Royal Families collectively staging an insurrection in 1575, gathering allies and what not till then, it will mostly be the Central Asian parts that break away- the parts annexed in the past 25 years- and not so much the parts that we conquered 125 years ago... right? Or the Polish and Novgorodian colonies (which is where part of their Royal families fled to)? So when we get completely freed in 1576, we'll have to reinvade only those parts, right?

The Royal Guns (talk) 20:37, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think the Polish and the Lithuanians will join this federation after this. they had no business being there in the first place, as they were your (Muscovy) enemies.The same goes for the Moldavians and that part of Livonia.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 21:16, January 3, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah you conquered them, they're not going to agree to you taking them over again willingly just like they won't agree to a new caliphate taking them over. Same goes for the rest of the territory conquered by the caliphate, no conquered territory will willingly let themselves be reconquered. Hence the Russian Federation and Caliphate will no longer exist. Heck maybe not even the HRE if the Mahdi wins enough wars. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:06, January 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * How this part is going to be? i mean, will those nations be formed by a mod event or something?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:21, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Mod events, independence movements, players spliting up into multiple nations, etc. I don't want the caliphate being replaced by a few other large empires. Some large empires will emerge from it but not all of it will be. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 18:54, January 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * No. Lithuania and area are mostly of RUssian descent, and the Poles have been in our little Federation for nigh on 100 years. Also, the Royal Families all survived and fled to Scandanacia, as well as their respective colonies (well, not Muscovy, they'd have fled to someone else's colonies) where no one can reach them. Meanwhile, I have agents working in Muscovy and Poland to o'erthrow our oppressors, starting in 1575; we'll be revolutionary, but will be forced to make concessions to the people helping us- including, ironically, the Red Hand, who will demand a more democratic government. That said, apart from a few changes to the structure of govenrment, Since the curent governing apparatus has survived, the Russian Federation can and will continue once the Caliphate falls. The Royal Guns (talk) 00:22, January 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh so then explain why Lithuania and Poland & the like wanted independence from Russia all through OTL then? They will not be joining you willingly. If your conquer them then fair enough but they ain't joining you willingly. Its like everyone agreeing to rejoin the Caliphate or British empire because they were part of them for a long period in their past. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 18:54, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Russia
Alright, How can this happen, I am cut off from the internets in Cuba for thee days and the bloody caliphate has conquered one of the most fortified and well-armed fortresses in the world? The center of the european arms trade, Europe's most intimidating navy, and more firearms per military man than any other nation on earth. I made sureof that. All occupied within three years without my concent and without an algorithm? how can this not be against the rules I am still wondering. The only people to conquer russia were the mongols, and even they did not conquer the Novgorodians, they were too cold and too marshey. What happened to Russia is an implausigasm. I suggest have a mod event have the russian winter kill the invaders...you know, for the sake of historical plausibility, people invade russia=death by freeze...unless of course, you are the mongols, but they are the exception to every rule. -Lx (leave me a message) 07:46, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * The most well-armed fortresses are in the Caliphate, the center of the european arms trade is hugly debatable, europe's most intimidating navy is either venice or portugal and the most firearms again is a superflous "fact" which you have no way of proving. Secondly, you lost the algorithm which was done & we don't your consent to say so because we beat you fair & square. And again just because not many people have conquered Russia doesn't mean that it isn't unconquerable. All that stuff is quite devoid from reality in this game and part of your near constant russian circle jerking. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 18:46, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

I also think that it is implausible, but apparently, they are going collapse by 1576.Until then, you can try to do what the Muscovian player is doing.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 11:30, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

We are collapsing like Collie said, so don't worry. Like Collie said, do what the Muscovian player is doing and you'll resurface fine enough.

And Russia's invulnerability is overstated; sure, only the Mongols conquered it, but Sweden, Poland and the Ottomans have all defeated them. It's like saying only Spain has conquered Colombia, and the mountains are very hard to cross, but it doesn't mean it's impregnable. Fed (talk) 16:02, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

This reminds me that it's 1571.apparently, it was that year in OTL that Moscow was burnt by the Crimean Hetmanate.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:05, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Cool, yes, we've been defeated. Thank you for the *1.5 bonus we'll get, BTW. And I've arranged it such that, with the help of the Red Hand, the Federation shall survive (and what doesn't, we can conquer). What did you think the Red Hand was? Except a plausible method of engaging upon our survival in EXACTLY this case? Come 1575, Russia's back. Come 1576... the Caliphate is gone. So, basically, prognosis; the HRE has ripped itself apart; So has Italy; the Caliphate will collapse; the Federation will easily recover; because of a revolutionary bonus; to beocme the effective superpower of the world; with the ability to conquer most of the Black sea and Eastern Europe; as well as Central Asia; and to form a nation that will last as a superpower to the modern day; overall prognosis; THANK YOU, CALIPHATE!The Royal Guns (talk) 00:32, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Tell you what, in fact; I'll even make clear our plans, exactly.

The Russians have allied with the Red Hand, so we have loads of splinter cells scattered throughout Russia; and, also, the druzhina trains every single male soldier we have who's fit for the job. What's more most are loyal to the Federation.

Muscovy and Novgorod will break away from the caliphate reltivey intact, and as the government apparatus has fled off to Scandanavia and the colonies, when it returns, the Federation will still exist.

Lithuania will be with the Federation, because most of it's population is Russian. Poland has been in the Federation for 100 years. That said, some portions of the populace will be for secession. There will be a Civil war, which the Federationists will win.

Central Asia will try to break away. The Nogai will partially succeed, as will the Sibir. This mostly affects Muscovy. No matter. We'll take them back in a single year.

Moldavia will break away, so we'll take them back when we do the Caliphially controlled sections of Eastern Europe.

Thus does the Federation come back together, with governmental changes, becoming slightly- SLIGHTLY- more democratic; or republican. also, land restructuring will occur.

This, of course, is just about the federation, and not the war with the Caliphate remainders (those tiny splinter states)

 * This part of Lithuania's poulation being mostly Russian doesn't make sense.Okay, Poland-Lithuania was divided so arbitrarily that the southern part of your Lithuanian province is all Russian, and will stay, but the north will not be part of it.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:28, January 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * A lot of that plan makes no sense. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 18:46, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * What Von says. Also, most of Eastern Europe will NOT be available to you. Remember that HRE states will also have the 1.5 bonus, as will all the other states you reconquer, so the end result would be the same as it would be without the bonus.

 * ^This. I seem to keep having to tell people the same thing. When an empire collaspes, people aren't going to agree to just become part of another one straight away. You'll have to reconquer them, plus all of these new states will get that *1.5 bonus because they are also all new popular revolt states. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 19:01, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * The only areas that I see willingly rejoining the Russian Federation are those that are ethnically Russian, ergo the areas thatmade up the former Kievan Rus'; anything to the east is Uralic, Turkic and Mongol, anything to the west is Polish and Lithuanian and Romanian. Fed (talk) 20:01, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, considering the blatant anarchy we are setting up in the russian states you conquered(i.e. routinely assasinating any governors or officials you send), many states will look back at the order that was the Russian federation and will be very grateful for liberating them and therfore will be more than willing to join the Russian federation, and whatt was that about you saying that that easern part of belarus novgorod controls not being russian? As of what I can see, that is part that P-L took from Kievan Rus' 2 centuries before the founding of the RF. Also, I am just going to ignore the fact that someone posted that all russian states now have only 2 million population, i.e. not many more people died in Stalin's purges than those that dies in 1573 according to a caliphate post.-Lx (leave me a message) 03:54, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Those assassinations were removed since its not your nation and people to control.
 * In your same train of thought, Mali and Niger would love to rejoin the French Empire because they would look back at the order that was French West Africa.
 * And I don't believe that the population of Russia is 20 million when it was six million in OTL at the time. I get you had a population boom, but that much more is just implausible. Fed (talk) 03:56, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Poland alone has maybe 7-10 million. Theres Kazan and Sibir areas, with at least 2 million, and the population of russia was 6 million at the time after famine killed about 1/2-2/3 of the populaion. No such famine happened, the opposite did in fact. You are also fogetting the fact that Mali and Niger were colonies, governed directly by france with the ruling elite being prodominantly ethnicly french or european, and with great cultural differences with france, wheras members of the RF were almost entirely autonomous(well, more like laws that are made by organ w apply to organs y, x, and z, laws made by organ y applies to organ x and z, and organ x's laws apply to organ z and organ x can determine if organ z exists at all or what they can decide,and organ z can only decide things either witht eh permission of organ x or on its own if so indicated). Also, Cultural similarities between Poland-Luthuania and the other Russian states are way more prominant(2 slavic cultures, 2 cultures of the same group) that between France and Niger(cultures of two completely different families, european and african)-Lx (leave me a message) 04:18, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Fine, that was a lousy comparison. How about Norway rejoining Sweden in the 1940s because they recall the stability and order of Sweden-Norway after the Nazi conquering? Makes no sense; and Norway's laws affected Sweden's, they had nearly the same culture, et cetera. About the population, that of Poland was of 6.5 million, Kazan and Sibir are both mostly Muslim, so they don't apply to the warfare. Sure, what Saam wrote was not that plausible, but you're way amping up the population; you'd have 15 mil at most, counting Muslim areas. Fed (talk) 04:31, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Lithuania is baltic, not slavic.which is another reason for them to break away, as well as your provinc on Livonia.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 07:06, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * In my mind, the poulation was around 8-10 million or so. Sorry for my misunderstanding. However, whatever the case is, both Russia and the Caspian cost are going to be very depopulated by the end of the Mahdiate.  Saamwiil, the Humble 09:35, January 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * They have been part of Russia for 100 years, during which time they were effectively assimilated.
 * We're not attacking the HRE. We're attacking Caliphial Europe and Moldavia.
 * Even if you send 100,000 soldiers to Russia and Instruct them to kill every single non- Muslim they find, you will still not succeed in killing more than a half million. Especially since, every single adult able male in Russia is armed and knows how to fight- A), through the druzhina, or B), through the Red Hand- and most probably BOTH.
 * Population is like 20 million- less than the Caliphate, of course.
 * The government is in EXILE, yes, but saying that we cannot send over spies from Scandanavia is INCREDIBLY implausible. NO-ONE in Russia wants to be part of the Caliphate- half of them don't want to be part of Russia, either, but until then, they'll fight along us, if not with us. You CANNOT stop us from staging a revolution. Just because you control the land doesn't mean you control the people. It doesn't mean you control their ideas.

 * Guns, Calm down, please, You dont have to go all caps, you could have just gone italics, bold italics or underline bold italics. IN any case, end of 1574(december or November), muslims kicked out of Novgood by the Durizhina and some of the stached weaponry at the cost of the Grand Prince Nicolas I, who dies in the Saint sophia cathedral after retaking the city form a gunshot wound. Luckily, the Muslims werent complete idiots and rebuilt most of the city as it was. He is replaced by Vecheslav Romanov as the Head of nthe Army and Grand Prince Presumptive. in 1575 all the fun begins. I persume, that before the caliphate can send any troops, their Mahdi sees jesus, fueling rage in Russia and in the caliphal troops, splintering them. With them stretched thin, Vecheslav assumes control of all former novgorodian lands(first in procalamation, then affirmed by sending heralds to call upon the druzhinas and armies and using them to assert his power in the cities and regions.), sound like a good plan? or is it too quick? Anyways, having the caliphate screw with the borders gives russia an excuse to either return to pre-mahdi borders or redraw them completeely and more comfortably.-Lx (leave me a message) 03:37, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Nah, the Mahdi has to be mobbed first, which is going to happen mid '75 also with the assassination of his son who tries to assume power, thenceforth securing the independance of Hijaz. '76: Muscovy, Pol al-Jakub, Novogrod, Lithuania, Morocco, Gibraltar, Algeria, Tunisia and Al-Slaveit declare independance. '77:West Qoyunlu, East Qoyunlu, the rest of Russian states, Central-Asian states, Persia, Iraq, Balochistan and Afghanistan. There might be more for each year, but since I do not control those territories, I don't want to mess with their plans. Saamwiil, the Humble 11:40, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * The Mahdi doesn't have a son. The Mahdi will be killed in battle in '75 as he lays seige to Berlin. Then the Mahdi's own army will fall into disarray allowing it to be pushed back easily into Pol al-Jakub. The general claiming to be Jesus who captured Prague will try seize power but will be asked to prove his divinity & then once he's been seen to be a fraud he will be killed too. With the loss of the head of state and the main religion of the Mahdiate (Mahdi Islam) being proven to be fake, the people across the Caliphate will start rebelling and trying to seize power as a power vacuum ensues and the people start looking out only for themselves. A new rump Caliphate will be declared but it will be tiny and largely ignored by others who have had their faith in Islam destroyed by the fraud Mahdi. I will provide you guys with a base map for the collapsing Mahdiate as the starting point for this civil war/Mahdiate collapse. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 14:16, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * So, Lx has explained what will ahppen to Novgorod- now I'l explain what happens to Muscovy.
 * Since, as I said, the governing apparatus is stable, Muscovy and Novgorod are still in a Union. Poland, meanwhile, has slowly been growing apart. So, similar to what happens in Novgorod, with the Help of the Druzhina and the Red Hand, Muscovy insurrects starting in 1574, by 1576 has declared complete independence. The armies are massively concentrated in the Muscovy- Tver- Ivansgrad- Ryazan area, so all of those rejoin the Federation- but in Central Asia, Muscovian Sibir and Southern Nogai fracture and break away. These will be dealt with.
 * In Europe, Moldavia breaks away.
 * Meanwhile, I thought that in Poland, there is a Civil War, between the Secessionists and the Federationists. While they fight together in the insurrection, they then turn on each other. The Federationists succeed, as even though they are outnumbered, they have support of the Royal family, and a few hundred thousand Russian troops, together which is enough to end the Civil War on the Federationist side.
 * The Civil War in Poland will coincide with the Russian attacks on Moldavia and Caliphial Europe (around the Black Sea.)
 * After this, we'll regain our territories in Central Asia, starting with the Sibir, moving on to the Nogai, and mopping up Mangystau and the like.
 * See? Perfectly plausible. Only around a half million people die in Russia due to attacks from the Red Rose, around another Quarter million in the initial war. The Royal Guns (talk) 19:35, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Actualy, according to whorever controls the red rose, the population in Russia is now only about 500 000-700 000 by my calculations(if you exclude the muslim areas). So that means that this implausible genocide took the lives of pretty much about 20 million people! Lets just ignore it.(here is where I go those calculations from: the entire population of the RF is approx. 20 million. Lets Leave 250 000 people die in the initial attack. Still approx 20 million. being very   very  generous about 5-10% of the population is muslim, being oh so generous I give the muslims 2 million people in total. Half of those are female, therefore for the mostpart will never participate in war or killing. 1 million males. half of them are probably underage and will not be part of the rogues because of their age in the first place. only about 500 000 able-bodied men that could fight and kill. Lets assume that only 50% of those(and that is a very very very very very very very generous figure) are willing to leave their families and farms, possibly leaving their children and wives to starve, or have neither. We are left with 250 000 people willing to become part of that red rose.  Lets, for the sake of arguement, assume that absolutely ALL of them join the Red rose(witch in and of it self is an extremely rediculous notion). Assuming 0 casualties(once again, a notion just as  rediculous), and the governement doing absolutely nothing to stop it even if it means loosing pesants and therefore crops and food, lets leave 150 000 troops in poland, and 100 000 to pillage the rest of russia. that means that the Polish population is now 325 000 inhabitants including them, the rest slaughtered by the red rose. Does anyone see how rediculous this is right now? the other 100 000 can go and kill and burn and pillage without anyone dying, and become the majority, meaning that the population of ther rest of russia now the 2 million muslims, + about 500 000 non-muslims. Remeber, these numbers are assuming every man that is willing joins the red rose, the governement does absolutely zilch to try and stop it, and the red rose has 0 casualties. This is an implausigasm on a grandiose scale, considering they beat what hitler did with smoothbrogh muskets and the caliphal governement might have paid attention if a quarter of all men suddenly started going on a murderous rampage and tried to stop it. so anyway, because of the aforementioned reasons, i will ignore the rogues altogether and consider them a group of 10 000 crazies at their peak that now only number less than 1000 and killed about 50 000 people. -Lx (leave me a message) 20:08, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Assuming 0 casualties(once again, a notion just as  rediculous), and the governement doing absolutely nothing to stop it even if it means loosing pesants and therefore crops and food, lets leave 150 000 troops in poland, and 100 000 to pillage the rest of russia. that means that the Polish population is now 325 000 inhabitants including them, the rest slaughtered by the red rose. Does anyone see how rediculous this is right now? the other 100 000 can go and kill and burn and pillage without anyone dying, and become the majority, meaning that the population of ther rest of russia now the 2 million muslims, + about 500 000 non-muslims. Remeber, these numbers are assuming every man that is willing joins the red rose, the governement does absolutely zilch to try and stop it, and the red rose has 0 casualties. This is an implausigasm on a grandiose scale, considering they beat what hitler did with smoothbrogh muskets and the caliphal governement might have paid attention if a quarter of all men suddenly started going on a murderous rampage and tried to stop it. so anyway, because of the aforementioned reasons, i will ignore the rogues altogether and consider them a group of 10 000 crazies at their peak that now only number less than 1000 and killed about 50 000 people. -Lx (leave me a message) 20:08, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

The Mahdiate annexes Venetian Mediterrenean. The strait of Gibraltar made into a province, as in Napliyye, and Crete. Colonies declare independance from Venice and the ones in the New World become 'Federated States of the New Worl'. (FSNW) These states have no connection with Caliphate at all and are a very loose confederation, attracting many Christians fleeing from the Caliphate.

 * 1) You forgot about the numerous wars the Caliphate has fought in the last 15 years. I count five.
 * 2) You forget Venice's several vassals, including Croatia, Modena, Siena, Savoy, and possibly Gibraltar.
 * 3) States in the New World created this early have almost no chance of surviving without their parent country's assistance. They heavily rely on trade, weaponry, etc. If these colonies were forced to declare independence (without considering the consequences), they'd likely die away.
 * also in the rules it says that colonies can't get independence until 1776 (though i think that should be until 1750 as for the Tupac amaru attempt of independence for peru) i think the venetians colonies would be like Brazil in the napoleonic wars, and what Chris said and Scandinavia, Me, France and the other thousand pro venetian nations Sine dei gloriem (talk) 19:27, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Maybe.Brazil itself was quite underdeveloped before the Braganças installed their court here.and plus, this is going to be brief.there's been just 50 years or so since the estabilish of theose colonies, so there is going to be no sense of nationalism as a separate country there.they still will consider themselves as Venetians.So, they won't stay independent, and probably will be absorbed back into Venice as soon as it regains independence.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:05, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * I also think that it shoudl be 1750, although the Tupac Amaru rebellion was around 1780.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:36, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

I tried to correct it, but i don't understand the divison of the military development scores by 14 and the economy by six for no seeming reason.If there are two leaders, shoudln't they be divided by the same number?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 19:26, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Because the numbers being divided are Venice's scores. Is that what you're talking about? Also, I fixed a bit. The Pope will aid. ChrisL123 (talk) 19:35, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Ah.i didn't know this part.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 20:05, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

I see... Karaman and Cilesia were not leaders in any other war. Also, Venice has been involved in some wars if I am not correct. Anyhow, if we can't annex Venice we will take the straits and mainland Venice. Saamwiil, the Humble 20:19, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

You left out me(Scandinavia), the Papal States, Portugal, the Naples vassal, etc. Also It's ridiculous for colonies to be independent at 1574. They are all underdeveloped.AP (talk) 20:23, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Can Venice just give up Crete and Gibraltar, I don't feel like doing more algorithms and this seems reasonable to me. Saamwiil, the Humble 21:23, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

i don't think so. Scan is out and i don't think AP would give up such a strategical area, as Scan wouldn't either Sine dei gloriem (talk) 21:26, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

16.80% I believe that is enoguh to take both of them, and the small Greek exlaves. Saamwiil, the Humble 22:42, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

All of Venice's empire totals 7808 pixels and 16.8% of that is 1,312 pixels. So we can take all of Venice's Greek territories, Gibraltar & Sicily and annex them into the Mahdiate. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 23:28, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

All of that is fine except the colonial independence. Not only is it ridiculous, but also implausible. No colony in Antillia or anywhere right now can sustain itself. The colonies are extremely dependent on the mother country right now and would not survive. Plus, it is against the rules for colonies to be independent before 1775. AP (talk) 01:34, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah this war will not directly effect Venice's colonies in the Americas, the Mahdiate cannot reach them. However there will be a strain on their resources so they probably won't expand as much now. Which considering Scan isn't here atm means he won't be posting for their colonial expansion anyway so it all works out in the end :) <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 02:02, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

So, it is possible to annex: Malta, Ventian Greece, Ventian Aegan Islands, Gibraltar and Sicily? Saamwiil, the Humble 02:06, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

I'm posting for Scan so what would be a possible expansion rate(if it can be slowed down like that)? I think Sicily might be pushing it, but that's fine I guess. AP (talk) 02:10, January 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Talking about half rate, Scan told you to expand each colony by 20 px.This isn't possible, as none of those colonies is more than 100 years old.the expansion rhyth at this rate would be 40 px to be divided.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 06:53, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

Do I have to do the algorithms for these two wars? I mean they're both against NPCs and they'll be independent again in a couple of years.

Okay the Mahdi is invading Bohemia and Brandenburg at the same time so I'm including them both in a single algorithm to save time. Note Jesus will take Prague over in this war and kill the Kappelist dictator resulting in Bohemia falling into civil dissarray but still how far into Brandenburg we get & how does the Bohemia war effect this?

Red Rose
Ok, this thing about the 'Red Rose' in Russia is now exceedingly implausible- as shown here:

Basically, my arguments I posted there. Unless it is actually possible for someone to kill 9 million  people in 5 years- I rather doubt it- can the 1574 post about this be stricken?
 * Many rogues originating from the Muslim parts of former Russia and refugees from begin the 'final push'. This is high sense of alertness, the killings increase, unlike in Pol al-Jakub. The rogue bands go around burning crops in Novgrod, Al-thalch and Muscovy literally burning towns down to the root, burning forest, making the winter exeptionally cruel, killing of even the rogues, but even more Russians who are unprepared to go a winter without food or heat. or by those pushed out by the Russian gov't in exile, a house. Russia's female population outnumbers the male by 3:1, causing many rogues to also stop killing, but in this case be slave-capturers, where the women are sent to the Qoyunlus, where their life is spared from 'Russia's Hardest Winter'.
 * WHOA. 3:1? Look, Russia will have had a roughly even birthrate here, ok? 1:1. This mean that around 12 million people (In ALL of Russia) are male, and 12 million are female. At this point, the 'Red Rose' comes in and starts slaughtering people. For this to get to a three to one ration, you need to kill 9 million people in 5 years! Hitler barely beat that! And he had concentration camps, machine guns, gas cahmbers... come to think of it, since he started around 1935, Hitler DIDN'T beat that! If he killed 11 million (6 million Jews and 5 million others) people in 10 years, we then work out that he killed 5.5 million in the first five years. Are you honestly suggesting you could do 3.5 million better 350 years earlier? IMPLAUSOGASM.

The Royal Guns (talk) 19:53, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

there's also my mathematical impossiblility I posted in the Russia section, so now that there is a Red Rose section, I am just going to repost it:

Actualy, according to whorever controls the red rose, the population in Russia is now only about 500 000-700 000 by my calculations(if you exclude the muslim areas). So that means that this implausible genocide took the lives of pretty much about 20 million people! Lets just ignore it.(here is where I go those calculations from: the entire population of the RF is approx. 20 million. Lets Leave 250 000 people die in the initial attack. Still approx 20 million. being very  very  generous about 5-10% of the population is muslim, being oh so generous I give the muslims 2 million people in total. Half of those are female, therefore for the mostpart will never participate in war or killing. 1 million males. half of them are probably underage and will not be part of the rogues because of their age in the first place. only about 500 000 able-bodied men that could fight and kill. Lets assume that only 50% of those(and that is a very very very very very very very generous figure) are willing to leave their families and farms, possibly leaving their children and wives to starve, or have neither. We are left with 250 000 people willing to become part of that red rose. Lets, for the sake of arguement, assume that absolutely ALL of them join the Red rose(witch in and of it self is an extremely rediculous notion). Assuming 0 casualties(once again, a notion just as  rediculous), and the governement doing absolutely nothing to stop it even if it means loosing pesants and therefore crops and food, lets leave 150 000 troops in poland, and 100 000 to pillage the rest of russia. that means that the Polish population is now 325 000 inhabitants including them, the rest slaughtered by the red rose. Does anyone see how rediculous this is right now? the other 100 000 can go and kill and burn and pillage without anyone dying, and become the majority, meaning that the population of ther rest of russia now the 2 million muslims, + about 500 000 non-muslims. Remeber, these numbers are assuming every man that is willing joins the red rose, the governement does absolutely zilch to try and stop it, and the red rose has 0 casualties. This is an implausigasm on a grandiose scale, considering they beat what hitler did with smoothbrogh muskets and the caliphal governement might have paid attention if a quarter of all men suddenly started going on a murderous rampage and tried to stop it. so anyway, because of the aforementioned reasons, i will ignore the rogues altogether and consider them a group of 10 000 crazies at their peak that now only number less than 1000 and killed about 50 000 people. -Lx (leave me a message)20:08, January 7, 2013 (UTC)

While I believe the population of Russia should be lower, that of Islam higher and that the Red Rose would actually wreck a lot of havoc, Lx is right. Fed (talk) 03:23, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Your calculations are off from mine. Let me start of by saying I believe that, by my calculations, Russia's initial population is aboutr 15M at most. The population of Russia should be about 5 million with everywhere besides Poland, muslims are a very small minority. 500k are in the red rose, roughly half of them have lost their home, their family et cetera in the earthquake, hence probably borderline psychopathic, roughly, a fourth wants to make money.

It seems to me that you way over-estimate the power of the resistance, as you said, not everybody is willing to leave their family and their home, even if the government is opressive, we have many historical examples of that. It seems that you want your troops to have 0 casualties, the casualties the Rogue attacks face is clear, by post you make. Not seeming to acount for any male casualties you dare say the ratio for men to women is still 1:1, which clearly is not the case if males are the prefered killing for millions of people. This is not including all the people who died becuase they froze off in the winter.

The government of the Mahdiate has not formally helped the rebels, but I am wuite assured that some years back, I posted on something saying to the effect that the Mahdi condoned these attacks because he needed to upkeep his troop. Saamwiil, the Humble 10:43, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

You may disagree on the numbers, but used percentages, all steming from the initial 20 million. you can exchange that for 15 mil or whatever you like, but the fact remains that the muslims are 10% at most and 5% are males, 2.5%  are able-bodied, and 1.25% are willing to leave. 1.25% of the population massacring the rest is so extremely implausible. I am in no way arguing that the men:women ratio will remain 1:1 by the end of occupation(although I do not think that it is plausible for the rogues to have more than 10 000- 100 000 in numbers), but it will be close. I am just arguing that it is implausible for the rogues to cause as much damage as you have posted them to be, and caliphal posts are basicaly saying that there are unlimited rogues and limited russian resistance.-Lx (leave me a message) 14:15, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

You are right, I do agree that the number of massacres is overstated (although a LOT of people have died at the hands of a fraction of the population - see World War 2, the An Lushan Rebellion, et cetera), but there'd be more Muslims in the Federation since, y'know, Kazan and the Urals are highly Islamic. I do believe Saam's demographics are closer to correct, but the killings are a bit out of hand. Fed (talk) 16:09, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

The population of the RF, total, is some 20-22 million actually.

Look, at this period in time, the area of Poland had around 10 million people, while Russia proper had almost the same. However, unlike OTL, we had a population boom, and our population is 1 to 2 million higher than OTL. Thus, let's say 21 million.

Now, in the Central Asian portions, they will be some 75% Muslim- but of the total of Russia, most of which is concentrated in the Moscow-Warsaw-Novgorod area, it is perhaps, at most 15%. So, around 12% of the nation is Muslim- around 6% is male- around 4% is able-bodied- of which 1% will be running around slaughtering people.

That said, it is certainly possible for them to kill up to- say- half a million Russians. They have now been slaughtered by the druzhinas and Red Hand militants. Overall, Russia lost around 3/4 of a million people.

Please rectify. The Royal Guns (talk) 20:38, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

There were six million in Russia in 1599, just before the Time of Troubles. Not nearly ten.

Central Asia would be 85-90% of Muslim descent, since, pre-Tsardom, it was always that way and there's not nearly enough Russianization at the time for it to happen. Fed (talk) 21:18, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

There were people outside Russia coming into Russia to attack (mostly Mangyastau, West Qoyunlu and East Qoyunlu). Moreover, most of the killing happened in Poland, making the rogues who settled down for the last day the percent I stated in game. I'm planning to make Poland a 3-way states with local lords holding seets in the senate. From strongest to weakest, they are: Orthodox, Muslim, Kappelist. As the Muslims understand, id they wish to survive, they cannot be hostile, so they settle for a lot less than their power. Saamwiil, the Humble 23:04, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, there were. But also, there are several other things in that time period that-

Regardless, the population boom can make up for that. So, fine, say 10 million total. Whatever.

YOU DO NOT CONTROL POLAND ANYMORE. I already stated how it broke apart- and it did so. Now Russia shall re enter and take em back. The Royal Guns (talk) 20:39, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

And, the popualtion of Russia at 1600 was 15 million, without Poland, so I have no idea if you just made that up or what.

The Royal Guns (talk) 21:00, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

My good sir, that alone states that Russia proper had about 13 million people around this time. Your "baby boom" probably brought it up by what, half a million? Because not all of those 13 million people can make babies. And it's not an even match of males and females. Plus the genocides probably brought you back down to somewhere between 12.5 and 13.2 million. Fegelein! Fegelein! Fegelein! 21:15, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Learning From The Caliphate
While I still go by the fact that we let the Caliphate (and the HRE) get away with too much, especially with their latest wars. I understand that they will only last another year, but this brings me to my other point. The shockingly implausible things posted by the Caliphate's players, including the ridiculously deadly Red Rose, indicate that we need to be more serious when faced with relentless implausibility. I cannot believe that Von would willingly create this ridiculously large Evil Empire when he was above such behavior in the last game. We need to prevent another Shark-jumping nation of that magnitude from arising. I don't care that their destruction is eminent, it shouldn't have gotten to that point in the first place! And now that the Caliphate has run it's course we need to keep history from repeating itself in the future. Yank 03:12, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Let's remember that this is alternate history, Yank. You view only as 'the Caliphate going to fall apart so ugh, I guess I can wait a turn', but it is so much more to that. It provides something more flavourfull than just a series of wars and colonisations between European Nations (maybe East Asian too). You could view as a muslim crusade, the whole point of it was to fall apart, not just a last second thought. That is the whole point for all these conquest, they were by no mean supposed to last in long number of years. Anyhow, since you're probably not going to read any post that comes from the Caliphate, I need no more explanation. Saamwiil, the Humble 10:49, January 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * ^this exactly. It was not meant to be anything long-lasted (and there are things on this map game that are equally implausible, on a smaller scale), and was meant so that it was not OTL history cutting out Castille and adding in Naples instead.  Fed (talk) 16:09, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. Though I think that after the Caliphate falls, the players should go back to playing the original nation(or whatever forms after the collapse) that they signed up for. Otherwise, they'll control 10+ provinces and  it'll be the same as nothing--each one controlling a mini Caliphate.AP (talk) 17:09, January 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, that's not really possible - the Mamluks are all but extinguished, as I'd believe is the Qoyunlu clan - but we'll collapse into a bunch of small states that will band together into smaller kingdoms (my plan is a very West-friendly Kingdom of the Levant that holds Syria, Yemen and Palestine, as well as hopefully Iraq, and a Maghrebi vassal - so invest heavily! :P). It'll take a while for control to emerge again, but eventually a Caliphate of this level won't rise again, don't worry. Fed (talk) 17:40, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

I was against it last game because that the type of nation I was playing, now I am not playing a liberal nation, I'm playing an extreme theocracy who agree with stuff like killing non-believers and mass expansion. Anyway the Mahdi will probably go down as the greatest general in history and his legacy will change the course of history. Anyway I'm writing the final Mahdi post as I speak and with it destroying the Mahdiate/Caliphate. Now two of the largest alliances in the world (Caliphate & Russia) have been destroyed and remaining one (HRE) has been weakened severely. Hopefully now the game will won't end up as a cold war between large player nation alliances again for a while. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 17:29, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Is it possible to just fix the Mahdi's Third War and put all the Caliphate states with a "W" for withdrawal and take away the 1.5 bonus? Because this is just me pushing all the way into the Caliphate now that they're collapsing.

No, because Poland declared independance. Saamwiil, the Humble01:24, January 9, 2013 (UTC) Poland gets a +8 for population not six. And I doubt your population is 5 to 10 times that of Poland's. They get the population bonus, not you.AP (talk)

Actually, since 9% of Brandenburg was taken shouldnt their government be overthrown because they lost 25% of their territory in the war with the Caliphate? That amounts to 34%. --AP

Yes it does, usually we do it for joining the scores of the same nations warring with one another together; but these unrelated wars could potentially be joined together. So yes they should be punished in some-way. Perhaps Poland gets its 9% of territory and then the Kappelist states Brandenburg annexed them rebel away? You could kill off your royal family and install a new dynasty if you'd like Scraw. Perhaps dynastic union with your close friend Saxony or Scandinavia?

Dimurats
I do not feel that at this point in time the Dimurats would be able to conquer their former empire and the Dimurat homeland. To recover their former empire in one year from the downfall of the Caliphate is really pushing it. I could see former Dimurat territories being the Dimurats, even though it would mess up my little city states plan for Persia. But even then, people have had a taste of what it feels like to be away from any central authority and would not be willing to go down like that. I could see a smaller Dimurat Kingdom say in Afghanistan, though it would still mess with my plans. Saamwiil, the Humble 12:03, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

Russia
Ok, guys, seriously. Just three things to say here. Please take these into account. The Royal Guns (talk) 21:06, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) When France, Poland, or all such nations were annexed during WWII- for around the same length of time as us- they didn't shatter. Now, I can understand the Central Asian nations, I can understand Poland- but Muscovy and Novgorod should be effectively the same size as before the Federation, when all of Russia- Russian Russia, which was Russian for over 750 years- was with us.
 * 2) According to this source, Proper;y Russian Russia had a population fo 13-15 million.
 * 3) The Federation and all alliances will have survived, because the government apparatus had fled to Scandanavia.

1. That was in 1940, when nationalism actually existed. This time it's loyalty to the king, not ethnicity. That makes a nation's collapse far easy.

2. That source doesn't make any sense. The population, for some reason, doesn't fall during the Time of Troubles, even when a third of the population died IOTL. It is about six million people, according to Wikipedia.

Fed (talk) 21:39, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what the gov't did in exile, they weren't in Russia at the time. People/dukes have felt their freedom and aren't just going to give it up. No one is going to emerge as super power in atleast 50 years. Saamwiil, the Humble 22:02, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

The problem with that is that Novgorod was an actual republic. It had a Duma, witch was the solution they made to running a large nation with a direct democracy logistics problems. With new dukes, they will probably start cracking down on that. Pesants will not like that as much. and Russian population was relegated to 6 million after famine. no famine started this game. novgorodians loved their veche, and only gave it up OTL because of the muscovian conquest. Although it is debatable who actualy controled it, the people or the nobles behind the curtians, the people felt that they had a say in what their governement did. To keep that, the Novgorodians made a representative Duma, much like a primitive parliment, to keep the sense of the Veche, but at a larger scale. even if the Veche, debatably, did not have any power, the people still felt that it did and that they were teh ones deciding what happened when That is why so many people would be glad to rejoin Novgorod, after seeing what totalitarianism was like. -Lx (leave me a message) 01:44, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

No, it was six million according to Wikipedia, and 2 mil died. No famine, it's six-seven million instead.

And yes, the Novgorod part is right (at least in ethnic Russian areas), my complaint was mostly going at Muscovy. Nationalism did exist in republics or provinces with high citizen tradition back then (also see Venice, Florence and Ancient Rome). Fed (talk) 01:51, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Right, and the mod event in 77' has Minsk Breaking away. I had intended, and have meant this clear multiple times, to have minsk as part of the Novgorod Repiblic, and went so far as to put it on the Novgorodian coat of arms. Check the Novgorod Page, that I realy need to update... I am perty sure that it was ethnicaly Russian(remember, during appenage Russia, Lithuania decided to invade old Kievan Rus' and take a bunch of its territory, still with native Russians(cultures have not diverged very much, belarus and Russia today have a customs union), Minsk should be still Russian, although I may be wrong about demographics of the time, I am pretty sure with the information i now posess that it is, and am willing to change my position with new evidence. -Lx (leave me a message) 02:11, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Again, just because you used to rule that land doesn't mean that those people are going to roll over & let you do it again. Just like you never listen to a thing I say, they aren't going to listen to a thing Novogorod say.

Nationalism has existed since states have existed. Greece was nationalistic, as was Rome (well, the Latin parts anyway). All of them considered themselves as one race, while all others are barabarians.

And due to the lack of a famine, the population would not have dropped by 4 million, as Lx said. And due to the population boom, the population would have risen to 13-14 million.

Wait, ok, let me get this straight. According to you, in 5 years... people who for their entire lives thought of themselves as Russian will now suddenly decide that they're wrong, and stop? Poland, ok, Central Asia, ok, but guys- this is implausible. You really hate us that bad? Then mod an effing asteroid storm. But don't use bad logic to rip us apart.

 * If Greece was nationalistic, then why were they divided into innumerous city-states? (i assume you are talking about Ancient Greece) --Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 21:32, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Both of the nations had a strong citizen tradition, something which disappeared during the Germanic invasions. No nationalism after Rome and before the French Revolution, with counted exceptions.

No, no, you have it wrong. The population dropped to four million from a pre-famine six. The population would've risen to 7-8 million.

And people who for their entire lives thought of themselves as vassals of a Federation now suddenly decide they're wrong, yes, because the Federation ended. We've told you this again and again and you haven't paid a grain of attention. Fed (talk) 21:27, January 10, 2013 (UTC)

Just because people are in the same ethnic group doesn't mean they want to be ruled by someone else. If hundred years ago, your region as independent and then your country men invaded you and forced you into a federation. If you had the chance to be independent then you would right? Everyone would rather rule themselves then be ruled by someone else. And no, got every "Russian" thought themselves as Russian and want to be in a federation. I mean its like in England now, most people in the North of England would rather rule themselves then be ruled by the Southerners, or people in an American state would rather come up with their own state laws then be forced to accept federal laws. And again, the population is at maximum 10 million, but considering its all split up now, the largest states will only have a million or so people.

Answer me this Guns, after the Roman empire collapse after barbarian invasions; why didn't all of Italy unite straight after being invaded if they were all Italian citizens? Its a similar situation and its happening again now, but you are going against the plausibility of history. All the ideas of nationalism you keep citing are from completely different periods of history and you're only choosing to recognise the bits which suit your plans now.

Seriously this debate with you keeps going around in circles, we tell you why its happening but you insist on asking why & why. You realize going against mod decisions and algorithms is a bannable offensive right?

Alright, the fact that Sibir is larger than Novgorod says it all. The whole point is to piss on everything me and Guns tried to accomlish, a unified Russian state. Those divisions made no sense. I spent the last two years going around with my armies telling the people I am their king. armies ammassed from all of Novgorod. what you are doing is just making excuses to devide all territory to your leisure, without concerning yourself with the fact that Novgorod was a republuic since the 12th century. for the mostpart, the territory that was in Novgorod at 1450 has been part of that republic for at least 300 years, 400 years afterwads. They had a citizen tradition, and would get it back if the had the chance. Most of that territory, however, was not ruled by independant states, but by nomadic tribes. The Novgorodian State survived the Mongols, fine, some sibir can go since they were conquered recently, but giving them all of our(Novgorod's at least) ural territory? I'm sorry. The Romans(or at least the Italians) did not come together, because, for one rason, there was no governement to re-establsh it. The Governement of Russia fled to form a governement in exile and came back to liberate the rest of Russia. that is why  we could rebound like they did not. -Lx (leave me a message) 18:31, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

(34.61)*(1-1/(2(14))) = War will last 14 years, and at that point Persia will be proken back up into the little constituent states it was before before the Shah tried endangering the state's independance.

((35/(17+35))*2)-1 = 34.61%

How the hell is Persia a threat to the Cilicians? Cilicia is located in southeastern Turkey. The most the Persians want is to reunite As much of OTL Iran as possible. As such they are nowhere near close enough to threaten Cilicia. Yank 01:35, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, had a mental break, meant to put Caspian. And, no, most Persians don't want that right now. They prefer independence. Saamwiil, the Humble 01:39, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

As far as I'm concerned you're repeating one of the Caliphate's biggest midtakes. No one player should be able to control a legion of puppets. Besides, there is literally nothing in the Persian mod events that says that they are forcing people into the fold. I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it if it wasn't under that sanctimonious name. Unlike the Caliphate they don't force countries to join against their will. All I wanted to do was provide a good, strong nation for someone to control. Why would you choose to be Kuwait when there's what should be a much stronger nation in Persia. Makes me feel vaguely insulted.--Yank 03:27, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Vaguely insulted? What? So you feel offended because you did something that directly interfered with Saam's plans and he decided to continue with his plans? And btw, can you stop with 'Caliphals are the most implausible thing I have read *giantsquidofangervendetta*' in every talk page post? Fed (talk) 12:05, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

If you are going to use this independence bonus, then the nation age must be-10. Adal also doesn't have an colonial empire.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:03, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Look, just give up Adal while there's still time, and until you're better prepared.Do you really want to lose almost 17% of your territory?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:36, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Venice can conquer 41,5% of Maltese territory.

(41,5)*(1-1/(2x)) - according to this, the war must last 3 years for Venice to topple the Hayreddin "government"

Discussion
i think that Hayreddin/Malta shouldn't receive no no 1.5 bonus as "If your nation has recently had a popular revolt soon after a new weak government was formed (like Adolf Hitler or Napoleon Bonaparte) your score is multiplied by 1.5 for all wars in the next 10 years. However, you cannot have multiple popular revolts of this nature in a row without government changes in between." Hayreddin wasn't formed by a popular revolt, so it doesn't count.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:03, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah it was formed by invasion. But it has been updating its military all turns since its existance. Don't worry I don't mind Hayreddin being destroyed, Sultan Barbaros is a dick lol. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 16:06, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Thhis isn't saying a lot since the country only existed for two turns before the war, and one was spent conquering Malta.--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 16:09, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah they invaded Malta and established it. Its only been going for a short while. I never planned this being a long term nation. I in fact encourage its destruction and annexation. <font color="#000000">VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 16:24, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
