I don't care. I haven't told the- oh wait, i'm not going to tell them.

Douglas J. Falcon, master of stealth and subterfuge.

Or Novice of Reverse Psychology.

Oh damn.

What a twist.

Not implying anything here.

Well, I'm too small to to win a war like that, so if you do invade it'll be an easy kill.
I'm not going to ask that you don't, but it really isn't my choice anyway.

Turn 8
Political Map

The Kingdom of Fasier
DarkErmac

-A strip of land along the Aggaran coast is sold to Vascony.
-The Industrial Revolution reaches Fasier, and factories are now appearing all throughout the nation.
-Weapons exports are going to Vascony to aid their conquest of France.

The Most Serene Republic of Syserror
Blue Screen (of death)

-Syserrene mandate continues to spread west, and more nomads are forced to settle.
-Coastal fortifications are built in Crimea.
-A national highway system is initiated, aiding in the speed of trade.
-Black Sea trade is redirected to Turkish ports.
-Georgia refuses the offer of integration.
-Explorers are sent east and south, and bring back charts of the land's terrain from Persia and China.
-Gifts sent to the Persian Shah leads to an alliance between the two nations.
-Military assistance is lent to Kickassia.
-Dragoons are introduced to the army.

The Most Serene Republic of Crimsonia
Crimson Locks

-Forseti is invaded. With the Autharians distracting the Danes from the west, the attack is successful.
-Antiseptics are developed.
-Howitzers are invented. Schooners are also now being built.

The Most Serene Republic of Seccia
Slappy the Fish

-South Africa is colonized and named Ashenland.
-New armies are being funded.
-Sweden is invaded. The attack is aided greatly by the Dunmer blockade already in place.
-The Industrial Revolution reaches Seccia. Domestic goods production soars.
-Various advances in rifles are made, and the musket is replaced entirely.

The Noble Republic of Angmar
Cale the Witch King of Cats

-The steam engine is perfected, and Angmar enters the Industrial Revolution. Steamships are also developed, making exploration of distant regions easier.
-Cyprus is annexed via popular demand. The local government is resentful, but the people rejoice and are glad to be rid of them.
-Moldova, having been lost to Kickassia, is seen by the other vassal states as a warning. Wallachia and Bosnia are discussing defection. In Angmar there is talk about annexing the vassals outright to prevent such a thing.
-Autria is invaded according to the Italian plan. With all Austrian forces distracted elsewhere, most of Hungary is occupied and later annexed outright.
-The war with the Austrians brings home the concept of the dragoon, which is adopted into the military.
-The forts in Africa are reoccupied.
-Expeditions to the far east chart out the coastline of Asia.

The Kingdom of Kickassia
Captain Douglas J Falcon

-Moldova is annexed. Angman forces in the region attempt to push back, but they are defeated.
-War is then declared upon Angmar, and Bulgaria is invaded.
-Novgorod declares war and quickly captures Cherpovets. The thinly spread Kickassina military, guarding recent conquests in the south and invading Angmar, is unable to move north quickly enough to reinforce the garrisons there.
-Howitzers are imported from Syserror.
-Gene Theory is researched.

The United Kingdom of Vascony
MDFification

-Dragoons are adopted into the military.
-The steam engine is developed, although it remains too unreliable to use for factory production.
-A colony is purchased from Fasier in Aggara.
-Savoy is invaded and successfully liberated from France.
-Germany, eager to gain a port, invades France. Their superior manpower and the opening of a second front cripples the French war effort.
-The Germans, having a larger army, draw the bulk of French forces away, enabling Vascony to occupy most of the land.
-Breton patriots revolt against the French, and greatly aid in their advance into the north western regions.

The Kingdom of Autharia
Liam Mayhem

-Naval forces are sent to blockade Forsetti, and are obliterated.
-Unmanly tactics are utilized in the fight against Forseti, including the disguising of troops as civilians. This fails to have any kind of an impact besides getting civilians shot, building up sigificant popular resentment for the invaders.
-Jutland is successfully captured after Forseti's land forces are decimated by the invasion of Crimsonia. However, a Medicean attack into the Netherlands has destroyed the Autharian military capacity.

The Noble Republic of Medicea
RocketPropelledPanda

-The yet unnamed colony south of Aggara continues to prosper.
-Autharia is invaded. With most of their army pretending to be civilians in Jutland, the attack is a complete success, and most of their mainland west of Oldenburg is captured.
-The steam engine is perfected, and Medicea enters the Industrial Revolution.
-Various further advances into the field of medical science are developed.
-State run hospitals are now in working order, funded entirely by taxes and open to any citizens of the nation. Medicean life expectancy skyrockets.
-The nation declares independence from the Vatican, making Medicea a secular state.
-Rifles are developed and added to the arsenal.

The Most Serene Republic of Morrowind
Fridge Logic

-Frigates are now being built.
-Even more men are drafted, raising yet more armies.
-The new soldiers are thrown into combat in Victoria, overwhelming the militia and taking control of the entire colony.
-Eastern Deisea is invaded and successfully occupied.
-Interchangeable parts become a thing, making products much easier to repair, especially weapons, increasing military efficiency.
-Explorers move through the Mayan channel to the west to chart new seas.

The Most Serene Republic of Forseti
Vlad

-The Crimsonians invade, taking control over Pommerania and breaking the defenses against Autharia.
-Various advances in rifle technology are made, and the military is armed accordingly.
-Howitzers and electrical technology are imported from abroad.
-An officers academy is opened in Copenhagen.
-Sweden and Germany are called upon for assistance, but both are both occupied with their own wars at the moment.
-Superior naval forces hold the Autharians and Crimsons at bay, preventing them from gaining the home isles.

I think it was a bad idea not to start either far East or West.

Cale, you're lucky. I have better things to do now.

My god, what is this East-Europe clusterfuck?
EDIT:
>state has the theory of genetics
>still using muskets
Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?

Gunpowder is not a prerequisite for bean plants.

Ok. ( ._.)
I beg your forgiveness.

It gets worse; you should see the size of the turn I'm sending you. It's regrettably necessary.

At this point, we're gonna diplomacy.
I'm going to have to ask Morrowind to withdraw from Deisea, and Crimsonia to withdraw from Forseti.

You see, I'm a state in the region that the spanish inquisition comes from. You're dirty pagan aggressors, attacking my loyal Christian trading partners, one of which we literally just went on a crusade with. Looking at this rationally, I'm probably going to face a revolt if I don't oppose you.

So much more PvP in this game than the last. That's what happens when there's pretty much no way to expand but through others. This is especially true for eastern Europe

Speaking of which, I recommend the eastern European nations expand by going through the turks, germans, swedes or building colonies over in Africa. Don't try to expand eastward into my territory. That would end very, very badly for you

I'll be expanding east myself, I'm not going to bother with Europe

Furthermore, I want in on this industrial revolution business. Who wants to sell me some practical steam engines?

There's big moneyz in it for you

Alright guys, can we not spend all our time trying to scare everyone else and picking on everyone else, it makes it very unpleasant to play.

I'm looking at you, Falcon.

@Cale

I can agree to those terms. Now that I'm not dealing with angry nomads, I was hoping to improve my economic infrastructure in the next turn anyway

Now about those steam engines…who wants money?

Says the guy who sent BSOD a shopped picture trying to make him turn on me.

>mfw conspiring to block colonial expansion of eastern european powers
>mfw Crimsonia doesn't get upset that I burned their settlement in Brasil
>mfw I barely deploy my forces in France and it collapses

>mfw I have the whole turn written, sans one person, who I have been waiting all day to get a pm from.

I apologize, I am almost done with my pm, I just have a lot of irons in the fire, perhaps you could say
All of the irons, all of them.
Thanks for waiting

So RP is special while the rest of us just miss the turn.

Wait i though Syndic was talking about me as i only sent my turn recently.

Turn 9
Political Map
-Forseti, Sweden, and Morrowind, having invested significant funds into their ongoing conflicts, have been forced in recent times to levy significant stress upon their citizens through taxes and increased focus on military industry, rather than the welfare of the people. This, combined with the proletariat's growing awareness of the unfair industrializing world around them has led to a revolution in the new world colonies. The United Socialist States of Victoria, a revolutionary communist state, has formed out of a violent revolution sparked in Forsetian Victoria, quickly spreading to neighboring Nordic regions.
-The Ottoman Sultan dies without an heir. The resulting dynastic feud tears the kingdom into pieces.
-Anybody who had ironclad and steamship techs this turn has had them merged into dreadnaughts.

The Kingdom of Fasier
DarkErmac

-Railways are constructed throughout Iberia and into Vascony.
-Ironclad ships are constructed.
-Gliders are being experimented with, and are by and large taunted for being "rather expensive kites."
-The field of microbiology is invested in, and results in the development of vaccinations.
-Deisean colonists appreciate the recovery efforts made by their government after the Dunmer attacks left certain regions ravaged by the pillaging.

The Most Serene Republic of Syserror
Blue Screen (of death)

-Trade through Constantinople resumes.
-Trading through Angmar has brought knowledge of the steam engine to Syserror, although it has not been perfectly duplicated.
-Advances are made into mining technology, making metal products cheaper. Ural and Siberian mining operations not only encourage expansion in this direction, but draw significant income by exporting the products to nations with less mining capabilities.
-Weapons are also being exported in larger numbers to Kickassia.
-Explorers move through Siberia and chart the lands, claiming unsettled territories for Syserror.

The Most Serene Republic of Crimsonia
Crimson Locks

-Research into the steam engine has resulted in a crude prototype.
-The war with Forseti is called off, and war reparations are sent as an apology to help repair the damage done.
-War is declared upon Germany, and progress is made due to vastly superior military experience and technology. In addition, German manpower is drained significantly due to the war with France.
-Berlin and Wien are captured, crippling the German wartime economy.
-Bolt action rifles are invented and added to the military arsenal.
-The fleet is expanded.
-Danzig is shelled by Forsetian naval forces, resulting in a large loss of civilian lives. The port is severely damaged, and most of the new warships there are destroyed.

The Most Serene Republic of Seccia
Slappy the Fish

-Socialists have overtaken the colonies in South Victoria. The Englishmen already living there have started to flee to safer regions.
-A new colony is claimed in Alpsia, and it's early growth is significantly augmented by fleeing colonists from nearby Victoria.
-Autharia is invaded, and said nation collapses.
-Further advances are made on Sweden, which can no longer sustain a proper military. Dunmer forces aid in the attack through Norway.
-Trade is opened to Medicea.
-The combustion engine is invented. This device requires petroleum to operate, and there is little of that in Britain, meaning that the Steam Engine continues to be the preferred engine in Seccia.
-Electrical devices are imported from Medicea.
-Howitzers are adopted by the military.

The Noble Republic of Angmar
Cale the Witch King of Cats

-Ironclad ships are now being built.
-Medical science journals are imported from abroad and studied in depth.
-The Bosporus has been reopened to Syserrene merchants. The toll is lowered to promote Mediteranean trade.
-Howitzers are developed for the army.
-To promote national security, Bosnia and Wallachia are annexed.
-An expedition to the Pacific finds opportunity in a crumbling Indochinese despotism. The merchants in question seize the opportunity with a mercenary army, and the government of Angmar quickly moves to consolidate the claim as a foreign trade port.
-The new port of Singapore alongside the shipping canal through Egypt has resulted in a great quantity of exotic goods being shipped to Angmar, including Chinaware and Spices, which had previously been extremely expensive in Europe. As a result, Angmar is quickly accumulating massive wealth, having cornered the Asian luxury goods market.
-Missionaries are sent into and across west Africa to convert local kings from Islam and Animist faiths to Orthodox Christianity. They are marginally successful, and would be more so if they had military assistance and a vaccination for malaria.
-A canal linking the Mediteranean and Red seas together is proposed to the Ottoman Turks. With most of the labor and financing promised to be provided by Angmar, the Turks agree to lend the region surrounding Suez to the Greeks. Mining Machinery and steam driven drills help to move the dirt quickly, and the canal is completed in an astoundingly short time.
-Following the dynastic crisis, the Ottoman Empire collapses during construction of the canal. With no legal authority to return the land to, the Suez region remains under Greek control.
-Egypt protests the continued presence of the Greeks with a show of force. Military camps are established on the border, and vague threats are made. However, they lack the technology and military strength to actually make good on their threats.

The Kingdom of Kickassia
Captain Douglas J Falcon

-Rifles are imported from abroad.
-Angmar is abandoned, and forces are sent north to focus on Novgorod.
-Novgorodan armies manage to capture the central regions of the Kickassian nation that were pivotal to production and the raising of manpower before reinforcements could arrive to repulse them. This causes Kickassian logistics to rely heavily upon foraging for food and salvaging battlefields for munitions. Attrition and desertion is high.
-The army is not finding enough volunteers to replace men lost in battle. Numbers are gradually dwindling.
-Moscow and Minsk, the largest population centers in Kickassia, are under siege by Novgorodan forces.

The United Kingdom of Vascony
MDFification

-France is annexed, and Brittanny is released as independent.
-The Pope is offered asylum in Vascony, but he refuses to acknowledge the fact that the Italian state presently controls Rome, and remains in the Apostolic Palace.
-War material is sent to Fasier and Forseti.
-Tensions with Italy mount after the annexation of Savoy. Italian agents are found in the region spreading unrest via nationalist propaganda and sabotage.
-Germany accepts the defense pact, and requests assistance against the Crimson invaders.
-Better rifles are imported, and now being produced in Vascony. Howitzers are also now being built.
-With aid from Fasier's railway program, Vascony is catapulted into the Industrial Age.
-A few key straits are claimed in the new world.

The Noble Republic of Medicea
RocketPropelledPanda

-Further advances into SCIENCE! results in the development of radiology. This knowledge is utilized in a variety of new medical technology, most prominently x-ray imaging.
-Occupied regions in Autharia are annexed.
-The machine gun is invented. Theoretically, this could make the mowing down of savage hordes a piece of cake, aiding in the hypothetical colonization of already occupied continents, such as India, China, and Africa. Hypothetically.
-Mining machinery is imported from Angmar.
-Steam powered automobiles are invented.

The Most Serene Republic of Morrowind
Fridge Logic

-Chaos ensues shortly after communist forces in Forsetian Victoria spill over the border into the Swedish colonies. The region, tired and broken from continuous total war, experiences multiple revolts. The military stationed there either defects to the revolutionaries or is crushed by overwhelming communist forces.
-Forces are removed from Deisea and sent to invade Norway. Sweden, broken by the blockade and Seccian attacks, is unable to maintain defenses.
-The Mayans are encouraged to open their borders to trade with the colonial powers. This results in a violent revolution in their nation, wherein progressive merchants push for the modernization of their country, and reactionary aristocrats fight against the notion.
-Knowledge of the Steam Engine reaches Morrowind, and the nation enters the Industrial Age.
-A new region known as Akavir is settled.

The Federal Republic of Forseti
Vlad

-The Autharians are sought out and massacred. With logistical support from their homeland cut off, they have nowhere to run or hide, and cannot continue the fight. Prisoners are not taken.
-The Germans are now on the defensive due to Crimson attack, and reply to Forseti's call for help with an offer of alliance.
-Crimsonia retreats, and offers war reparations to amend the damage done.
-Steamships and ironclads are now being built.
-The concept of Interchangeable Parts is imported from Morrowind, causing increased efficiency and profits from industrial production.
-Danzig is shelled, resulting in a large loss of civilian lives. The port is damaged beyond immediate repair.
-State run hospitals are appearing and medical science ideas from Medicea are adopted and put into practice.
-A draft is enacted to draw upon manpower from the least patriotic people. Women are included, for the first time essentially anywhere, in the military.
-A new constitution is drafted, giving more power to the government and putting an end to various ancient traditions, including gender roles, restrictions on various freedoms, and the outlawing of slavery. The severity of the war and high patriotic fervor has resulted in little protest against the new legislation.

Well as my departing note when i first sent the turn that said invade Forseti i mistaked Forseti for a NPC and tried to call of the attack and it failed.

Also Slappy, really again.

When the time arises i will return. i fall so i can stand back up. I will completely plan out tatcics untill then.

Autharia got wiped out this turn, so I didn't even consider you.
You may rejoin if you like, but not as a European nation or as Victoria.
If you decide to join the game, please do not ignore technology. It is very important that your people have things like health care, electricity, and various means of modern production available to them. When the rest of the world is riding trains, surfing the internet, and nuking everything and your people are stuck living in dirt hovels and surviving on subsistence agriculture, it kinda doesn't bode well for… well, anything.

>MFW Everything

Being that radiology and combustion engines came to be on this turn, I feel it is necessary to share these two resource maps with you:

OIL: http://i.imgur.com/8BVuR.jpg
Amount per Region: http://i.imgur.com/Vyuj18A.jpg

URANIUM: http://i.imgur.com/F0HZI.jpg

For the fictional continents in my game, just guestimate based on continents that exist IRL.
I may make an official map for them once they are scouted out.

OK can i rejoin as the southern part of the continent where Aggara is. Also I generally get stuck for ideas as usually i either think of things too advanced and can never really see most prerequisites.

Also to certain other players.

No. no you can't. An existing nation, this time.
Unless you want to join as the undiscovered Incans (spoilers!)

Actually I've changed my mind another time maybe. But just count me out for the rest of the game.

(Audible Gasp)

Don't forget the Mapuche.

Sorry for doublepost (are you not checking these dubs) but I've decided to immortalize the brave men and women who have gone to war with the Poles.

>MFW

@Location of oil and uranium reserves

CHA-CHING!

Typos intentional. Enlist today.

Turn 10
Political Map
-Army tech altered to reflect weapons used, not unit types.
-Trade routes are becoming redundant, since trade in this age is generally open between all nations freely except during times of war. The lines previously representing trade routes are now being used to show railways. I may or may not add a new system to reflect imports, especially for industrial goods and fuel sources.

The Kingdom of Fasier
DarkErmac

-The first heavier-than-air-self-propelled-flight occurs in Fasier in the form of a motorized biplane. The parts to build this include a combustion engine, which is rather expensive due to the fact that Fasier does not build them.
-The Dunmer governor of Morrowind's Deisean colony is bribed into surrendering the colony to Fasier, but the staunchly conservative locals refuse to accept the arrangement. The governor is stoned to death.
-Electrical devices are invented.
-Steam cars are imported from Medicea.
-Machine guns are invented independently by a certain individual named Jakan Kazan.

The Most Serene Republic of Syserror
Blue Screen (of death)

-Petroleum drilling facilities are established in Samara and Novy Urengoy. Presently, Syserror dominates the petroleum market as the largest producer.
-Bolt action rifles are invented.
-The military is deployed into Novgorod and Kickassia to defend the latter from the former. The armies of both nations, exhausted entirely by the war, are unable to compete with the force and size of the Syserrene invasion. Persia lends military assistance, in accordance with their alliance.
-Garrisons are kept once the conflict is settled, and the Kickassian royalty is not allowed to return to their throne in Cherepovets.
-Central Kickassia is annexed, and the soldiers return home, giving up their arms in accordance with Syserrene occupation laws. Kickassia's control over Ruthenia and Moldova is immediately nullified, and the monarchy now holds now power in this world.
-Various new medicines are developed, specially geared towards fighting hypothermia.

The Most Serene Republic of Crimsonia
Crimson Locks

-Repairs are made in Danzig, although not much can be done to undo the loss of human life there.
-The invasion of Germany speeds along, and the Rhine has been reached. The nation is entirely at the mercy of Crimsonia.
-The Steam Engine is perfected, and put to use in industrial works.
-Conscription raises military numbers, and new ships are built for the fleet.

The Most Serene Republic of Seccia
Slappy the Fish

-Colonists claim Madagascar for the empire, and name it Zimbabwe. Some men…
-Expeditions into east Africa are funded, and chart most of the region.
-Finland secedes from Sweden, and Stockholm is captured. The war is at an end.
-Military fortifications are established along the Victorian border in case of a communist incursion.
-The glider is developed.
-Dreadnaughts are now being built for the navy. Dunmer frigate designs are mocked, and such ships are also now being built.
-Mining machinery and the concept of Interchangeable Parts are imported.
-Mining operations in Alpsia and the Ashenlands has brought back plenty of coal and gemstones, respectively.

The Noble Republic of Angmar
Cale the Witch King of Cats

-Advances into rifle technology is made.
-Railroads are developed, and can now be constructed in Angmar.
-Knowledge of Vaccinations and Interchangeable Parts are imported from abroad, increasing survivability in sub-Saharan Africa and industrial efficiency, respectively.
-Egypt is invaded and quickly overrun. Superior military strategy, technology, and manpower decimates the opposition.
-An unpayable toll is placed on the Suez Canal to guarantee that only Greek Angmen can use it, monopolizing the far east trade.
-A voyage is made to circumnavigate the globe. Valuable charts of islands and continents passed along the way are made.
-Military assistance is lent to the missionaries in west Africa. A number of kingdoms are either overthrown or collected as provincial vassals and added to the colonial government's region.
-A campaign is launched into Indochina as well to gain more converts to the one true faith.
-The death penalty is outlawed in favor of a more harsh punishment in the army, on the front lines, in the most dangerous divisions. As a result, the country's most decorated war heroes are generally from a violent criminal background.

The Kingdom of Kickassia
Captain Douglas J Falcon

-The military is entirely disbanded when Syserror puts an end to the war and annexes central Kickassia. The soldiers return home, in what is now part of Syserror.
-Ruthenia and Moldova, no longer being oppressed by military force, declare independence.
-The monarchy goes into exile in Crimsonia as they no longer have lands to exert their influence over.

The United Kingdom of Vascony
MDFification

-The German generals, in panic over the loss of their heartland, have seized the governmental offices in east France and started a mass relocation of all French speaking peoples in the areas occupied by German forces that refuse to take up arms to fight the Polish invaders. Most of these people have ended up fleeing into Vasconian France, leading to massive food shortages and open rioting. The German war front shortly afterwards collapses.
-The Italians, unwilling to accept Savoyard integration in a Basque nation, and spurred on by the French uprising, have declared war. The Italians in Savoy actually do not care, and their lives are fairly good in either country.
-The military has been sent into Germany to assist in fighting Crimsonia, but trouble behind the front has broken the logistics system, and the Italian attack has forced them to retreat to friendly territory.
-Electrical appliances are imported, and an electrical generation infrastructure appears to support their use.
-Parliament opens up it's lower house to the common people, and reserves an upper house for the nobility. This is supposed to ensure that socialist ideals, if they come to Vascony, do not enthuse the population into open revolt. Secession, if not already implicitly against the law, is now made explicitly illegal.
-Ironclads are now being built, with a heavy reliance on cheaper imported metals.
-Angman control of the Suez canal and ships without the endurance and speed to get around the African continent means that colonies can not be established in Somalia very easily.
-Colonists, merchants, and any other supply bearing ships headed for Akavir are sent back from the Mayan channel. As a result, the colony starves and shrinks in size.
-Fortifications are established and naval patrols around Victoria are made.
-The USSV is offering to purchase the region_name land claim to their west, with promise of knowledge from a special, top secret project they have been working on in exchange.

The Noble Republic of Medicea
RocketPropelledPanda

-Basic training for military enlistees has been altered to produce smarter, tougher men. Part of this training includes in-depth medical training for first aid emergencies.
-Brittany is invaded again. Being a celtic people, the locals don't find it difficult integrating under the new rule.
-Attacks are made on north Sweden, and the region is annexed with the collapse of said nation.
-Electrical generation from naturally occurring phenomenon, such as rivers and wind, kicks off what is known as the Green Energy Revolution. Steam turbine power plants are still widely used, however.
-The human genome is successfully mapped. This goes great lengths to aid in finding cures and treatments for a number of genetic diseases and vulnerabilities.
-Steamship and blast furnace designs are imported from abroad.

The Most Serene Republic of Morrowind
Fridge Logic

-Machine guns schematics are imported and now produced for the military.
-Dreadnaught plans are also put together, and the ships are now being built.
-The occupied regions of Sweden are annexed. An attempted further invasion of Finland has been complicated by Medicean intrusion in Scandinavia.
-Plans of the combustion engine are imported from Seccia and applied to motorized vehicles. They become slightly popular in urban regions among the upper and upper-middle classes.
-The Mayan channel is closed to all Dunmer shipping, and the Akaviran colonists are forced to consolidate and rely upon their own constructions to get by.
-An expedition to Madagascar goes sour due to an outbreak of malaria and subsequent attack by natives.

The Federal Republic of Forseti
Vlad

-Gotland defects after the collapse of Sweden.
-Machine guns and the combustion engine are imported from various sources abroad.
-With the new engines, oil driven automobiles are created. Plates of metal are welded to them to create the armored car.
-A series of colonial forts are established on the Ivory Coast, but without access to Malaria vaccinations there is no hope of expanding and exploiting the region to its fullest potential.
-Colonists are sent far south of Aggara with no destination in mind. A colony is founded on a fertile peninsula, and much land is claimed and settled.
-Diplomatic talks are open with the Mayans, but Japan has closed her borders to foreign contact.
-Trenches are dug and a great number of men are stationed at all borders within operational reach of Crimsonian armies. A collection of colonial army volunteers from Ontario has boosted manpower significantly.

FUCK
Is it possible for me to join as China?
if not, can I rejoin as the Incans?

Either or. Take note that the Incans still think that the wheel is an unimportant invention.

i'll rejoin as China then.
could you give me a list of the current tech of China?

Religion: Confucian
Culture: Chinese (Mandarin)
Tech: Printing Press, Compass, Medical Science, Germ Theory
Army:[===|==]
Musket, Cavalry, Cannon
Navy:[===|==]
Galley, Cog, Carrack

BSoD, thanks for taking over Kickassia.
I'm china now.

Two Questions:

1. My report says Egypt was conquered, but it remains a differed color. Is it still independent?
2. The sliders are a manpower to army size scale, but does that apply to one's "homeland", or all areas of rule?

1. I knew I messed up somewhere on the map, but I am way too tired to double check the entire post theroughly. Egypt should be ANGMAR GREY. It will be so next turn.
2. Sliders represent your army's size based on its total potential. Conquered regions are not likely to give up volunteers too soon to your manpower pool, so it really just shows how many people in your loyal provinces are in the army.

Speaking of sales I have interest in a colony in the West. However, since most reachable, reasonable areas have been settled, I'll buy one from anyone who is willing. I'll also promise my aid in any situation demanding it in the future.

Eh, Syndic, quick question. Why do I have Ironclads when other people researched Ironclads and instantly got dreadnaughts?

Also shoutout to Fridge for least threatening ultimatum delivered.
