Can you spend any money turn 1?

Wait until after the first update, as right now is kinda pre-game.

Wish you would do some 1453 house keeping of not letting Byzantium talk to Japan. -_-

To: Shogunate of Japan
From: His Holiness, the Pope

While we understand your free reiligion idea in principle(OOC: WTH? Its 1452. grumble.), you must understand there is only One True Faith. May he who does not understand Him be forced a thousand miseries. Convert, my friend, to the One True Faith.

To: Rus' Principality, and other nations
From: His Holiness, the Pope
Rus', you have been followers for much of your history. Do you heed my call? As for other nations, I ask the same. Do you heed my call of a united Christian front?

So, after update 1 you get your first cash? I think I understand that right. I also think that if I claim 6 territories next turn I won't get 6 more gold next turn, but the turn after. Am I correct?

Why? What have we done so far?

EDIT: @ Cull- Our Shogunate is a very liberal Buddhist himself, with a belief that all paths will lead the same way eventually. Therefore, we see no reason to regulate religion. In the East, Religion is considered to be similar to Philosophy and unimportant.

The Christian population right now is 3% in Japan, yet 90% of them believe as we do in Universalism. Declaring Christianity the national religion is nonsense. We have over 1 million population, and a 40,000 man military (I THINK this is reasonable for all Japan, which we consider ourselves to De Facto Own already, even though we don't own it all on the map. If this is ridiculous, please some GM let me know, I don't really know the time period well.) Also, of the 40,000, 90% are Buddhist or Shinto, so I would get executed by the mob. You do understand Japan's position correct? People of Japan want a moderate religious policy, so I gave it to them.

Also, some more info.

Population- 1,000,000

Military- 40,000 (You'll see why its so high in a minute.)

History- The Shogunate Wars were very intense with many generals, until a Charismic leader named Domination3000 got the military on his side. He took Tokyo and the enemies surrendered.

Sphere of Influence- Japan is ABSOLUTELY OURS (Remember its not that big) anyone who claims Japan will be insta-embargoed and we will decide what to do with them.

Korea is desired by us and its claiming may lead to a border dispute however depending on who you are we may work with you.

China is on the horizon, however, we don't consider it "Ours" and will not dispute rival claims there.

TO: Il Papi
FROM: Rus'

While we are firm followers of the true faith we do not wish to be drawn into Papal diplomatic battles.


OOC: Byzantium's capital should be Constantinople if anything, unless you're Muslim.

Oh darn, already?! Why wasn't I informed? Oh wait, I barely followed the development thread...heh heh.
You know, before anyone else does, I'll just claim Deutschland and read all the rules later.
Starting Position:

We recognize Reiser and ask his government form be shared with us.

I was going to create the Indians, but then I decided not to play due to various RL reasons. Lurking with interest!

I've already chosen Orange, however as your shade is light I'll just request my shade be dark.

Also, I offer EVERYONE a free trade pact.

Constantinople it is then. Istanbul was just easier to type.

@japan: your military size seems perfectly fine. a little on the low side though. the free trade is accepted. i like rice

Remember, back when, the population of Earth was under one billion IIRC. However, I picked a figure I thought would be fair. I'd like a GMs word. I'll up it of course, once I expand on the mainland.

The English Confederation accepts this offer of free trade.

Diplomacy

the Byzantine Republic offers a trading agreement with every nation.

Click to expand...

According to the rules, you can only propose one agreement per turn.

You are limited to signing one of these per turn

Once again, only one proposal per turn. READ THE RULES.

Will we need to send orders for this turn beyond our starting claims?
