Update 4
1846-1850

While technically most of the world was still at war, you almost couldn’t tell from the amount of actual armed conflict that happened during this period. All told, most of the combatants were actually quite peaceful or took defensive measures. Entire continents that were ravaged by war a short time ago fell quiet, mainly because all colonial forces had already been removed from the theatre.

In Europe, things were also much quieter than they could have been. Some reports indicated that the forces of the EU were disorganized after their failures to rapidly capture territory at the onset of the war. All told, there was really only one battle at all, and this one was just about a draw, with no sides gaining much of anything except perhaps a broken treasury and a booming coffin business.

Spoiler Battles :

After waiting for an invasion that never came, the joint forces of Al-Andalus and France and Paris went on the counterattack. Their goal was to deal a death blow to the traitorous Lusitanians. The battle was quite close, but ultimately they were repelled at the borders and no gain was made whatsoever.




Spoiler Events :

Sultanate of Lusitania: Our eldest scholars have collaborated on an effort to collect, record, and preserve all of our oral traditions and unwritten literature.

  • Option 1: Our libraries with the largest repository of classic literature receives a research bonus - 10 IC science bonus
  • Option 2: Discover and decipher lost knowledge from within some of the literature - Receive a free Army upgrade not yet possessed
  • Option 3: Receive a Naval Technology not yet possessed

A couple of Items left out of the update:

1. Experience. I forgot to update the experience on the stats page before making the image. I really don’t feel like making that image again, so the following nations have 10% experience:

  • Al-Andalus
  • British Empire
  • Sultanate of Lusitania
  • French Algerian Republic
  • France and Paris

2. I also forgot to include culture points for the games. I’ll make a note of that tomorrow and add them to the stats behind the scenes.

 
Why aren't my two factories in Shanxi?
 
My bad - I put them in Peking by mistake. I'll fix it.

EDIT: I fixed the map and stats on my end. It didn't change the number of IC you have, and I'll probably not update the map unless I have more changes. You now have 5 factories in Peking, and 2 in Shanxi.
 
Brotherhood of Iron
Invest 2 IC into Ontario
Invest 4 IC into armies
Invest 4 IC into factories in Great Lakes
 
Thanks. Yeah, the only reason is toget provinces to core capacity asap. Can't do that with excess factories in my capital.

China
6 IC into 3 Factories in Shanxi.


Core next turn! Looks like it'll be the first one in the game as well.
 
Metis 11 IC((Including 1 IC gift from Seron for winning World Cup))
2 IC into 1 factory in Yukon
6 IC into 3 factories in Midwest
3 IC expansion in Ontario focused in the West.

Core next turn! Looks like it'll be the first one in the game as well.
Technically, I'll be second, you'll be third. Reason: I only have to build one.
 
Not if I post my orders first!

/challengeacceptedmode
 
They did?

FUUUUUUU-

Edit: I don't see a core? :confused:

Edit2: you need to invest IC to make it a core. Nobody has one as of yet.
