Introduction

The State of the World

This is the year 1746. The Age of Britain has come, as Great Britain has come to a whole and continue to grow with colonies in the Americas and in Asia. The Agricultural Revolution starts in the UK, paving the way for industrial progress and having profund effects on almost every country in the world. The last battle fought on British soil of history has been ended, with the British defeating the Scots under Stuart Pretender Prince Charles at Culloden Moor.


The Spaniards were recently defeated by Great Britain in the War of the Spanish Succession, but they still own more colonies than any other nation and are still a force to be respected. Porgutal is no longer at its peak, although still powerful.


Austria, under the Hapsburg Dynasty, grows stronger while Russia also rapidly strengthens and westernizes under Peter the Great. St, Petersburg is founded by the great Tsar, Peter the Great. Prussia grows under Frederick the Great, greatly expanding its territory. 


Respective European colonies in North America begin to prosper, and the Carribean is started to be settled and set up with sugar plantations. The Marathas are begin to gain power in India, and Quinlong - the emperor of China - brings the country to a very prosporous state.


The Ottoman Empire is no longer what it once was - unrest is building and the empire is starting to show its age - yet it is still an important regional power. The Persian empire is going strong under Nadir Shah. The French remain powerful, having a more built up navy and promoting stability, although there is some resentment from the working class. 


Korea is getting stronger in its military, and are itching to conquer new land and territory. At the same time, they are aware of other countries in the world and are not hostile to those other countries.


The Age of Enlightenment continues on with Issac Newton and Voltaire, Carl Linneaus and Denis Diderot. This is an age where knowledge will be spread, where wars will be fault. Blood will be shed, and society - the very bottom of it - will shudder under the weight of the changes to come.


Are you ready for it? Colonial World Rebooted is here.


The Rebirth of Colonial World

Hey there,


I started Colonial World (Map Game) a while ago, and although it saw some good levels of activity and we had some fun, it gradually descended into ASBness with some implausible events occuring and some arguments stemming from it - countries grew very unstable and were too hostile. 


Colonial World Rebooted will get rid of the ineffective Point system which caused some countries to be more powerful, and countries that were not played became too weak - Savoy does not simply conquer Prussia and Free Poland simultaneously within a 1-year period.


Have Fun, Build Up Your Nation, Discover New Ideas and Pursue New Goals. Oh, and don't forget to colonize. It's called Colonial World for a reason after all.

The Game

1746

Colonial World Rebooted, has started.


This year, the African region is unexpectedly dry and the nations there are severely weakened with widespread famine and hunger.


There is some discontent in the Thirteen Colonies in OTL USA about British rule.


There is a revolt in OTL Greece in the Ottoman Empire.


Saxony: We improve our and Poland's infrastructure and offer an alliance to Prussia and Venice. We also want trade agreements with Prussia, Denmark-Norway and the Netherlands. We also modernize our and Poland's (our partner in personal union) army. We'd also like to establish a colony in western Africa, but as we lack the technology, we ask Venice to help us in our colonization progamm.


  • Venetian Dip: We accept the alliance.


Venetian Dip: We will only accept the offer if Saxony must pledge an alliance with us.


Saxony is too small of a country to invest into colonies. There is not enough of a population that can or will travel overseas. Rather that colonization, Saxony should be focused on internal HRE affairs and expansion within the HRE, not colonization. Saturn120 11:26, September 3, 2015 (UTC)


Electorate of Bavaria: We improve and recruit more men into our standing army, we improve our infrastructure in our most populous areas, and we offer an alliance and multiple trade agreements with Saxony and Austria.


  • Saxony dip: We accept, but we will remind you that we are not inclined to an alliance with Austria.


Venice: We improve our infrastructure, we start sending out colonists and explorers to west Africa. We also offer a trade agreement to the Spanish Empire and the Chinese and we recruit more people for the military and navy. We offer Saxony an alliance.


This is implausible. Venice had a fair amount of navy and was pretty strong, but it was only built to travel near land and in the meditarrian sea. Sending them out to colonize west africa is reasonable, but to South Africa, let alone Australia, would be ridiculous. -Captainjohnrex


Also, may I remind the player that Venice in this point in time is in a decline, and may have to deal with internal issues that limit their expansion as well. Saturn120 11:26, September 3, 2015 (UTC)


I'll keep that on mind later, thanks! -Zlello.


Korea: We improve our infrastructure and military. We also offer an alliance and trade agreements with Saxony, Poland-Lithuania, Prussia and Japan. We send colonists and explorers to Kedah, Aceh, Perak, Johor and Guam in Asia to colonise and occupy these places.


Saxony dip: We accept the alliance and hope for better relations between the two. If you would want, his Majesty Frederic Augustus II, by the grace of God King of Poland-Lithuania and Prince-Elector of Saxony would be happy to host your Emperor's heir in Dresden. 


This is absolutely implausible. Korea's navy, Joseon Navy, was only built for protecting Korea from Japanese Pirates and invasions. They were built to stay around Korea and near land, meaning it would be nearly impossible for them to row out of the East China sea, let alone, the rest of South East Asia. Furthermore, Korea did not have ambitions to expand and even if they did, they would be under the pressure of the Quin Empire, China -Captainjohnrex


Korea isn't really an empire/colonizer at the time, play a European country if you want to colonize please. -RCC


It makes no historical sense for any of those countries to even consider an alliance with an Eastern Asian nation they've never heard of. I'm gonna recon all of your alliances you sent to Europe for plausibility. Saturn120 11:26, September 3, 2015 (UTC)


Ottoman Empire: Since the reign of Mahmud I, many loyal Ottoman men have seen his ambitions on expanding the empire at a reckless and merciless way. After the war with Persia (1743-1746), many of his men has turned against our emperor. When Mahmud declared to his people his ambitions in Russia and Austria, many were angered by his desires and sought a coup since the empire had continuously declined in power since 1571. On the cold November night of 1746, it was said that Mahmud died of stroke and Mustafa III took place. However, we do not know the exact reasons of the death of our shameful emperor. Having much hope in the new leader, Mustafa, who is only 29 years old. On the December of 1946, he declares to the empire that he will strengthen the Empire again, guarantee more freedom to people, increase life expectancy and decrease poverty/famine, and adapt human rights just like Cyrus the great, a new idol of the Ottoman empire. This year, we increase our economy by opening trades. We ask treaties with Persia, Russia, and Austria. We also ask to trade with European countries and possibly, the isolated China. Instead of crushing the protest in Greece, we ask for negotiations/talks, along with the mass spread of propaganda.


There were only a few hundred people involved in the revolt - the Ottomans would not negotiate with a few unruly citizens, but instead just put the revolution down. However, propaganda is plausible so I have not crossed out that. - RCC


Ok, but please specify next time. -Cap


Will Do. - RCC


Austrian Empire: Maria Theresa is the Archduchess of Austria, and intends on expanding the Empire. In doing so, we declare war on the Bishopry of Trent, trying to capture some Italian land. We ask Prussia for an alliance. We improve our military and increase education in the Habsburg Empire. We ask Venice to mary off one of Maria Theresa's daughters to a prince and for an NAP.


  • Ottoman Dip: We condemn the ambitious Austrians.
  • Saxony Dip: We'd only be interested in an alliance if we get the Bishopric of Paderborn back, who is a vassal of Cologne (MOD response for Cologne needed)
  • Cologne agrees (mod)
  • Venetian Dip: We send one of our princes to marry one of Maria Theresa's daughters and accept the NAP offer.

Russian Empire: Expands into the rest of Siberia and begins invading Kazakhstan. A trade agreement is proposed to the Qing Dynasty and the British Empire. Tsesarevna Elizabeth begins expanding changes made by Peter the Great.


Saxony: We declare war on Anhalt-Dessau and Anhalt-Zerbst (MOD for Anhalt-Dessau and Anhalt-Zerbst (German minor states) needed)


Portugal: José I of Portugal improves relations with Britain (who is allies with us). We expand deep into the western areas of Brazil. We also expand southward from Benguela and west from Mozambique, attacking the Lundu tribes with 10,000 troops. We build our infrastructure up as well as our economy and try to become a bigger world power.


  • Saxony dip: We'd like to open trade with your nation on behalf on His Majesty Frederick Augustus II, by the grace of God Prince-Elector of Saxony and King of Poland and Lithuania.


France: We build our military and infrastructure. We build our army and Navy. We build more houses and better facilities in the country, this means that our people are now more pro French monarch. We expand in Westwards in North America, expanding 3500 pixels, defeating native people as we go along. We promise the conquered natives good houses and good life under French lives. We decide to ban slavery throughout the empire, saying that this is inhuman. We free all slaves under our rule. We stand that we are worst enemies against the dirty British and wish for it to be under our control in the future. We launch the European Alliance (Colonial World) which hates the dirty British and has to free all slaves. We also begin an invasion of Western Africa, expanding 1000 pixels into it. We promise to all natives that you will have an adequate life under French rule. We make it law that whenever somebody mentions the British, you would have to say dirty in front of it.


France, are you sure you want to abolish slavery? Your empire is based on trade and your colonies and slaves are very important to your stability and prosperity. You will be receiving consequences next year as a result of this action. -RCC


Netherlanden: We ask for an alliance with France. We expand the East Indies 2000 px.


Korea: We improve our navy's skills and want an alliance with the Qing Empire. We also declare ourselves as a peaceful nation.


Sweden: We improve our military and infrastructure, and want alliances with Saxony, Venice, Poland-Lithuania, Prussia and Korea.


  • Venetian Dip: We accept your offer of an alliance.
  • No contact with Korea, as stated by Saturn120. - RCC

Britain: We take the French threat as nothing. The abandonment of slavery will naturally destroy the French economy and we are therefore not worried about the,. We also send 10 minor fleets with a total of 20,000 men towards Africa to conquer new colonies. We colonize as many African colonies as possible (Specific ones to be decided my mod, please be reasonable, as the British did have the majority of African colonies, at least 10 colonies, since we sent 10 fleets, the British had around 30 colonies in Africa) We also move our main fleet towards the English Channel and prepare for combat against France, while we send one small fleet towards the Americas and one into the North Sea. We improve our military power this year by investing more on the training of our troops while we continue developing new naval equipment as well as artillery for both land and naval combat. We also send 40,000 men towards London and Whales to prepare for French attacks. We also improve our infrastructure this year to prevent an outbreak of sicknesses. While we improve our economy by proposing trade AND alliances to the following countries:


  • Netherlands
  • Norway
  • Spain
  • Portugal
  • Ottoman Empire
  • Qing Empire
  • Russian Empire
  • Austrian Empire
  • Denmark
  • Sweden

We also encourage countries not the join the French alliance as it is completely nuts. They are PURE IDEALIST and not REALISTS. The abandonment of slavery sounds ideal while it will CRASH the French economy. The French has more slaves than Britain at this time and it is suicidal to their economy to do this.


  • Sweden dip: We accept Britain's offer and become allies with them. We also promise NEVER to side with France. We also send 10,000 troops to London and 5,000 troops to Wales to join the British troops already stationed there in case of a French attack. We discuss with Britain and her allies whether or not we should attack France. We also request to have small part of the British Empire (e.g. 1-2 colonies). some land from the British Empire in return for allying with them.

Sweden: We request an alliance with Spain, Portugal and the Qing Empire. We also send 20,000 troops to colonise the southern parts of Africa and Madagascar too. We send another 40,000 troops to colonise South-East Asia. We give 3 of our colonies to Britain for free, in hope that our ties will strengthen.


Sweden had 0 colonies in 1746. -RCC


Venice: We colonise Liberia and we deal with internal issues and corruption in the government. We start building infrastructure in Venetian Liberia and we send a fair bit of our navy to defend our colony. We also propose an alliance and trade agreement with Britain, Portugal and the Netherlands.
