Turn 1, The Year 1453
Political Map
Culture Map
-The Holy Roman Emperor is Austrian. Should any imperial provinces come under threat, Austria will defend them.
-Constantinople falls to the Ottoman Turks, finally killing off the last remnant of the Roman Empire.

-Instrumental in the downfall of both Muslims and Portuguese in Iberia, Fasier is a naval oriented nation with a hefty reliance upon trade and fishing. This has also resulted in a great passion for exploration, and the most logical way of expansion would have to be overseas.


The Most Serene Republic of Syserror

-Blue kingdom of the Ukraine, orthodox and free, Syserror is a republic surrounded by enemies. To the west, the pagans of Belarus and Ruthenia. To the east and south, the islamic nomads of Crimean Khanate. And to the north, the greedy dutchy of Muscovy.


The Most Serene Republic of Crimsonia

-The antiquated Polish crown was destroyed by the new republic of the Crimsons. Unfortunately, this means that the pagans were never fully removed from the east, and have in fact spread deeper into Russia. The Pope demands that Ruthenia and Lithuania be taken care of post haste.

Galley, Cog, Carrack

-Founded by a folk metal band that wandered too far north, Korpiklaandi stands on the edge of the world; a pagan nation ready to conquer or be conquered. Conversion to christianity would make it easier to gain friends in Europe, but it would also rob the kingdom of any cause for conquest to the south.

-England has been purged from the map by Seccia, which has left Northumberland as independent in the north. There are no immediate threats on the island, although the lack of a powerful England has led France to gain significant strength and unity.

-Castile was outdone by Cattonia, and as a result Granada has stayed strong in the south, while Leon fell ages ago to the Basques. Muslims are still a significant majority in Cattonia as a result of this.

-Once upon a time, a handful of drunken slavs decided that a country ought to be named after it's ambitions. Their goal in life being to kick as much ass as possible, they named their new nation Kickassia, and there was much rejoicing.

-Literally translated as "land of love," Amorica has been in direct competition with France for decades as the romantic capital of the world. Naturally, with Basque not being a romance language, the French are on the winning side of the debate.

-Being the most powerful Prince-Bishopric in Europe, Autharia has many oportunities in manipulating the political and religious landscape of the continent. Excommunications, inquisitions, crusades, and even the Papacy itself are all possible tools of this rising power.


The Noble Republic of Medicea

-Converting to Christianity would be a good avenue into making friends in Europe, but on the other hand it would make conquests hard to justify. And then there is the rumored new world, so called Vinland, to the west with varying opportunities there.

Same as before:
Send me a PM with the number for the next turn in the title.
If you want to make edits to your turn, resend the entire turn in a new PM, edits and all.
I will only read the latest PM from you with the next turn's number in the title.


As for the new stuff, the sliders in your military stats reflect the size of your military.
The associated unit types reflect quality.
The tech slider is associated with your nation's intellectual basis. Number of funded libraries, hospitals, universities, cultural diversity, and all sorts of other things.

Turn 2
Political Map
-Geonese fortresses in Crimea fall to the Crimeans.
-The Holy Roman Empire is shaken by civil war, resulting in the Emperor in Austria asserting himself as a more powerful figure over the principalities. Salzburg and Autharia are annexed into Austria.

-Trade routes are opened with a number of Fasier's neighbors. Taxes on the routes generates great quantities of revenue, and Fasier's strategic location lends to much profit.
-As a result of the influx of wealth, the crown can now afford to fund expeditions for certain insane explorers who want to see if anything lies across the ocean to the west. As fate would have it, there is plenty to see.
-A massive continent is discovered in the west, and it's shores are mapped out. It has yet to be named.

-The Crimean khanate invades. The plundering hordes desire women and tribute. There can be no peace between nomads and settlers!
-A team of diplomats is assembled to determine relations with the surrounding nations. Belarus and Ruthenia are pagans nations, and therefor enemies, although they have no animosity with Syserror at the moment. Muscovy is a fellow orthodox kingdom, although the have ambitions on Syserrene lands. Crimea is a nomadic khanate of muslim tartars hellbent on conquering their neighbors.
-Trade relations are established with Belarus and Muscovy.
-Cannons are made developed, and gunpowder creation becomes common knowledge.

-Lithuania and Ruthenia are invaded. Fighting two nations at once proves to be a significant hassle, but Crimsonia prevails nevertheless. This may have a lot to do with the knightly orders of Europe, including the Teutons, alongside a number of other noble families donating armed forces to the campaign.

-Tired of using useless gold ducats, the Korpik monarch decides that a new and unique currency needs to be developed, and mandates that all merchants use it. This results in total alienation of trade from the rest of the Europe.
-Attempts are made to pay blacksmiths to create arms and armor for a larger army, and here the monarch realizes the terrible mistake he has made. These people only respect ducats. It is decided that it would be wise to return to the gold standard, and the king's ridiculous decree is revoked.
-Taxes continue to exist as they always have. However, farmers and plantation owners are now required to pay with food instead of gold. This food needs to be well preserved to last in the king's coffers, and mainly goes to feeding the massive military forces now built up, resulting in Korpiklaandi becoming the world's largest producer of hardtack.

-In an effort to gain more preserved foods, trade relations are established with Korpiklaandi, the hardtack capital of the world.
-Expeditions are funded to the far west, and a continent is discovered and mapped.
-Cannons are made the main artillery weapon. Gunpowder magazines pop up in most major fortified locations for the production of this "new" weapon.
-Friendly trade relations are established with Northumberland and France.
-Taxes from the new trade routes are used to fund major universities.

-Turkish Thrace and Bulgaria are invaded. The Ottomans, busy with campaigns elsewhere in Asia, are easily removed from these regions. Constantinople is now under siege from the land and sea, and the Aegean is being blockaded to prevent counterattacks.
-The campaign in Thrace is greatly aided by the support of local Greek peoples. Constantinople's military garrison is being sabotaged by denizens of the city.
-Attempts to establish profitable trade in the Mediterranean is cut short by the Venetians, who will have no Greek man outdoing their own merchants. They constantly work to remove Angman competition from as many markets as they can.

-War with Novgorod and Latvia is made simultaneously. The Novgorodians advance, and seize a chunk of territory near Cherpovets. The Latvians are easily defeated, but the Novgorodian counterattacks prevent Kickassia from occupying any lands there.
-Funding is diverted towards education, and the military suffers.
-Sensing the weakness of their neighbors, Muscovy invades Novgorod and initiates a trade embargo on Kickassia.
-The drunken slavs have apparently forgotten how to ride horses. Mounted knights become a thing of the past when knowledge of the horse is lost and subsequently rediscovered. It is put to use in peasant levies as light cavalry groups known as lancers. They actually prove to be more cost effective than knights.

-An alliance with Navarra is established, although dynastic unions with a republican government type are impossible, and any royal marriages that result from the alliance will be only to the detriment of the republic's stability, unless it is replaced with a hereditary monarchy.
-Amorica controls the trade routes between Paris and Genoa, resulting a tidy sum of money for the middle man.
-The printing press, a long ignored innovation in Europe, becomes more common in Amorica after its reinvention. The propagation of reading material results in the spread of both ingenious and dangerous ideas.

-Attempts are made to invade all of the principalities surrounding Autharia. This has the unfortunate side effect of causing an immediate civil war within the Holy Roman Empire, pitching Autharia against everybody else.
-Austrian and Bohemian troops cross the border, putting an end to the war. The entire Autharian military is dismantled, and the nation occupied. The Prince Bishop is deposed, and Autharia is split into minor provinces within the Austrian kingdom.

-Expeditions to the west result in the rediscovery of Greenland and Vinland. Fishing outposts are established there to take advantage of the ocean's untouched wealth in those regions.
-Trade relations are established with Medicea, but growth with other nations is stunted due to Morrowind's religious differences. Her republican nature is a saving grace, though, as the nation's plutocratic tendencies makes foreign merchants easier to collaborate with.
-Norway is invaded. Due to the Catholic convergence upon Autharia, very few answer to Norway's call, and as a result the pagans win a small victory. The Swedish king comes to their "rescue" by seizing the Norwegian crown for himself.

-The printing press is invented, resulting in the spread of wild ideas about church and state. More people also have access to intellectual publications.
-Massive cash influx comes in from the increased trade between western Europe and the Baltic ports.
-More ships are constructed for the navy. The army, on the other hand, has reached it's limit, being that Forseti does not have the manpower to recruit any more.
-Fortification efforts are made in provinces bordering HRE states and the Tuetonic Order.

Except for the Lancer thing. That actually went pretty well.
And I suggest Pen Islands for the place that looks like a dick.

I'm going to drop out. It's become increasingly tough to get access to a computer and internet on weekends. I'd like to cede Cattonia to Fasier, if that's possible.

The map of the new world is skewed so that you have something interesting to discover.

Stop being immature.

@madcat: being that you are both kingdoms, Fasier can inherit Cattonia if you put it in your PM.

Turn 3
Political Map
-Hungary annexes Transylvania.
-Austria inherits Bohemia through a royal marriage. Silesia, a royal vassal of Bohemia, is also integrated into the Austrian kingdom.
NOTES:
-Tech sliders removed for pointlessness.
-The military sliders represent the size of your military compared to the size of your nation, meaning a small nation can have a full slider but still be pathetic due to low manpower.
-The first person to discover a region may name it. Immature names will be rejected.
-From now on, just title your turns "KYMnatRP" All other turn sending rules (editing, mainly) remain in effect. Some people can't count.
-You know you can invent things right? A lot of you are falling behind in tech.

-Cattonia is inherited by the Fasien crown.
-The newly discovered lands have been named "Deseia."
-Lime production is at an all time high following the discovery that it fights scurvy. This results in longer voyages and greater knowledge of Deseia.
-Land based expeditions have found numerous resources in Deseia that are worth exploiting. Many kof the nation's poor are up for a colonization effort, if the crown is willing to provide their sponsors with a charter.
-Development of the sextant and advanced mathematics results in better charting of the new world.

-Cannons are invented and produced.
-Trade is encouraged into Hungary, the Tuetonic Order, and Holy Roman lands. Unfortunately the latter has barred trade with the Poles, being that Austria is on a power trip and trying to isolate the principalities from the rest of Europe.

-Brandenburgian diplomats arrive, requesting aid in a possible imperial war with Austria.

-The war with Novgorod is ended, as Kickassia promises to aid them in fighting against the larger threat of Muscovy. Unfortunately, they completely disregard their own fairly good plan by attacking Latvia again, resulting in Muscovite invasions gaining speed through Kickassian lands.

-Navarra accepts the Amorican offer to join together into a constitutional monarchy. The nations become one, and the noble council is replaced with a parliament. The new kingdom is named Vascony, with its capital in Pamplona.
-Trade connections are established to Fasier and Medicea, connecting their routes to the Mediterranean and making Vascony a powerful middleman.
-In an attempt to establish a fishing outpost on the St. Lawrence, an expedition instead discovers a new landmass in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, and decide to settle on one of the islands there.
-Universities are established for the wealthy to send their second and third eldest sons; those who would otherwise inherit none of the family's fortune instead graduate as doctors and businessmen, enhancing the nation's wealth and knowledge.

-Brandenburgian agents have contacted the governor of Autharia about forming a coalition to depose of Austria, which has grown too great territorially and threatens the balance of power within the HRE.

-Christian missionaries in Norway are allowed to spread their beliefs to the mainland. Morrowind by and large converts to Catholicism, although being so far from Europe the nation maintains an odd mix of beliefs, in which Christ is essentially added to their pantheon of gods. This has the benefit of opening relations with most of Europe while maintaining their unique culture.
-Friendly relations are established with Sweden, a so-called "fellow Catholic" Nordic kingdom. Trade routes are opened, among other things.
-Trade expansion into the Baltic results in knowledge of the printing press reaching Morrowind.

-Ambassadors travel along the trade routes into Novgorod, and bring back to Forseti knowledge of the Russian lancer tactics, which are introduced to the Forset military.

They usually will be, but I didn't check the time today, had nearly every player's pms in, and posted early. Sorry about missing you. Since you've posted within the 24 hours time frame, I can make an addendum for your nation. Either that, or I can double your efforts for the next turn. It is up to you.


Regarding turn titles, I looked back in my inbox from ages ago and saw this:

It looks cleaner and makes much more sense than this:

This is not a trick. Just do it. That is all.

-Larger ships are constructed, called galleons.
-The sextant is developed, making naval voyages much faster and map making more accurate.
-A colony is established in Nova Scotia, and the surrounding lands are claimed for the republic.
-The arquebus makes its way into the Seccian military, weilded by Tercio regiments.

I advise against writing up turns early unless each and every player has already posted their turns early and there is nobody to wait for.

I don't want to miss a turn because everyone else already posted theirs while I was busy at work.

Turn 4

-Civil war breaks out once again within the Holy Roman Empire. Brandenburg gains the allegiance of France and Hungary to remove the Habsburg Austrians from the throne.

-Colonies are established in Deseia. They find that the lands there are fertile and contain a wealth of new, exotic fruit. There are few natives, and they are extremely hostile. Rumor has it they are cannibalistic.
-Pistols become the main arm of the infantry forces, and pistoleers become the mainstay of the army.
-Calculus is developed by a man who spends his spare time smashing his head into apples.

-Crimea is crushed by the capture of their capital, and the other nations of eastern Europe descend like vultures to pick up the pieces. Border disputes and nomadic tendencies result in war with the Kazan and the Golden Horde.
-Contact with the Muscovites and fleeing nobles and generals from that nation has resulted in the restructuring of the armies. Pistoleers, Lancers, and Cannons are now the primary groups which regiments are structured around.
-Taxes are raised, especially in conquered provinces, to new heights. The money is put directly into military improvements.

-The Doge of Crimsonia is excommunicated from the Catholic church for an unprovoked attack on a fellow Catholic nation, especially one dominated by a holy knightly order which has previously aided the Crimsons in war.

I take down one Khanate invader and it gets replaced by two more. Guess I'll be spending most of my time in the war effort in this game

I was hoping to be the world trade power again like in the last game but it looks like MDF will get that honor instead.


@Syndic

FYI: This is the Syserrene national flag

Okay then.

I added flags for everybody that didn't have one except Autharia, cuz I ran out of time. I tried to make flags that made sense for your nation's name, starting region, or a flag that you used before. I might have overlooked a post or two, so I'll change your flag again if you ask it of me.
