the Arabs just sort of.. ignored Byzantium after 1180. at least that's when the Byzantine Arab wars ended. says the war ended on that year on Wikipedia. the Turks took over as a primary enemy.

ugh... you realize all those terrorists and extremists exist because of consequences of actions taken by big powers IRL.
This timeline is totally separate from the IRL one. In fact there is no timeline here, no history, everyone just popped into existence a week ago. So these colonial actions of the imperialistic era (which led to the slippery slope to the extremists/terrorists) never happened.
Why do you think there's Catholic terrorists in Peronia? I never heard of any Catholic terrorist organization in S. America IRL? It's a game! Factors like this are made up for the fun of it! Now stop ruining the fun!
I have already said before, I have a large economy based on oil and high-tech industry. The billions I collected in surplus mixed with the rest of my economy gives me enough money for modernization.
lolwut?
What part of I'M A SECULAR STATE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? I have no state religion! Jaysus...
Oh yes, lets be a bunch of bigoted
s. Just because the Arabs of yesteryear had their own imperialistic ambitions DOES NOT mean that the ones of today are the same. Jaysus...
You're scared of me! What part of THIS IS A FREAKING GAME THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL WORLD do you not understand??????? MY Israel, has nothing to do with the IRL Israel!!!!!
NOW STOP RUINING THE GAME!!!! I CAME TO HAVE FUN, NOT ARGUE SEMANTICS!!!!!

i actually tried something like that on Nations. it wasn't pretty. either i sucked at it or the random event theory isn't fun.

and you ahve the high tech industry elusively located in Israel. sorry, you simply CANT produce enough to modernize a country.
the Arabs may get pissed if you don't support the Great Allah. also you spent Jesus wrong.
Oh yes, lets be a bunch of bigoted
you didn't change the time line, and you simply annexed Allah's land. wrongfully i might add. you still spent jesus wrong. please say it right or it makes you look like an idiot, frankly.
pfft. im not scared of you. i can take the Levant, destroy your navy and resist counterattacks and your finished. mostly.
Spoiler :
then why do you INSIST i allow Catholics? this isn't real life, this is my nation and if i dont want Catholics, it shall be so. stop contradicting yourself.
then woudl you mind if i magically brought back my large navy and huge army?
That. Was. The. Point.
Also, you spelt "spelt", and about a million other words wrong.
Because the people, infrastructure, economy, etc. that would be there in real life still is, it's the nations that don't exist.

Byzantium is completely incompatible with this. its an entirely different nation, entirely different people, different architecture, different large cities, different religions, different anything.
Byzantium is its own country with its own time line, that means everything is overwritten. the countries who you know as turkey, greece, etc, never existed in the first place. there was always a Byzantine state since 330. that means *I* decide whats true and whats not true.

i realize that i am one of the stupidest members here. facepalms just piss me off needlessly, for my own sake I'm trying to ignore it. trust me my rage is well beyond the range of CivG. I'm quite willing to dish em out though.

my sense of humor is quite different than the lot of you, and i want CANADIAN humor, not British ones.
Most of this isn't worthy of a response, but I'll try.
This isn't Nations (whatever the hell that is).
You underestimate the power of concentrated industry (and who says Israel is the only one with this industry).
Stop being a stereotypical.
Stop being an.
Bring it on.
What choxorn said.
Yes.

THIS MEANS WAR.
I hope Taniciusfox doesn't mind me borrowing his template here.
Country name: The United Kingdom of Great Britain (in exile) and Canada.
Motto: None.
Army: A good, advanced military focusing mainly on armoured conflict. All troops wear the redcoat uniform for the sheer purpose of nostalgia. The main tank of the British Army is the Challenger II.
Air force: Average, as most of it is focused on the Fleet Air Arm.
Navy: Large and advanced (we're the British, remember), with thirteen supercarriers and a good air arm.
Capital: Ottowa.
Development rating: First World
Economic style: Somewhat Socialist.
Political setup: Consitiutional Monarchy.
Social policy: All people are created equal. There are no restrictions to the armed services.
Foreign policy: We will be polite to those who are polite to us, and shall shun those who shun us. Contrary to what the name may suggest, we have no quarrel with the Marian Empire.
I take all of Canada not yet claimed, or, if that's too large, Eastern Canada.
As we speak, two carrier forces under HMS Hermes and Repulse are making thier way for Constantinople for an amphibious landing.

your declaring war cause i wanted Canadian humor? i don't even think ill understand British humor.
your tactics are flawed. you cant just waltz to the capital and hope you'll win. the british tried that in WWI and lost badly. plus this is the core area. you'd be insane to take it.
be more mature about this game. now. Byzantium requests that you end this stupid war and will pay you whatever you wish.

Put it this way - you are a leader who constantly rewrites his own history, claiming that he is actually changing the timeline in doing so, all the while oppressing the citizenry, telling them what they can and can't do, and snuffing our culture. And no, I'm not stupid enough to land in Constantinople herself, but my fleets are heading in that general direction.
There shall be no payments. This is an offensive of liberation. Prepare for war.
Mathalamus
Emperor of Mathalia
im not oppressing the citizenry. if you actually read you'll note that i don't do this. Byzantium is a work in progress and i can change it at will. i banned twilight for a good reason,, with massive support of the popuation (85% actually) and i didn't snuff your culture, i said i couldn't understand your humor.
know why i HATE nationalist people? yeah. he fits the bill.
sorry sir but i simply out man outproduce and outnumber you. quit now before you embarrass yourself. your invasion force wont even last a day. your tanks are slightly weaker than soviet T-72s. pathetic.

We shall see.
(By the way, accusing me of being a nationalist is just a little bit rich coming from the guy who desperatly wants Byzantium to be the world's sole superpower.)
