SNES10: East and West

"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face,
tho' they come from the ends of the earth!"

-Rudyard Kipling, Ballad of East and West


William of Normandy lays dead in Hastings, Mohhammed became a missionarry for the Christians of Byzantium, the world is not as we know it.
The Byzantine Empire stands strong still, Arab Christians are it's backbone as it has developed slowly into a republic. Viking Naval superiority remains unchallenged after the would be conquerer William of Normandy was beaten, his armies returning to disgrace in Normandy. Changes in the northern climate drove the Norsemen south though, and Vinland was colonised to trhe south, where the natives of America were found, but European and American are equal in this world, the technological difference was negligable in the 11th century. Vinland and Scandinavia go there seperate ways and the Republic of Vinland is formed alongside the Iriquois Empire and the Cherokee Republic. Azteca claims Mexico and Caribea and the Incas take South America.
A eunich Admiral under the command of the Ming Dynasty stumbles upon the people of Australia, where the Aborigines are forced into a single nation, the United Tribes.
The world stands equal now, but for how long until one nation strives to command the rest?

Map Link



Original Map (Year: 1457)

With Army Numbers:

I want Normandy!

I want China!

I'll be the Vikings.

I will soon add a religous aspect to the game.

Stories would be nice, but are not required in SNES10 (bucking current trends, SNES has a long history of doing as it pleases regardless of trends, or in other words being deliberately a step behind)

i will take the mongol empire

Religions Added. Year Added to the Map post, Indian Stats added.

Skilord, how much we earn from each area?!

ok, Readed and i'll be the zulu (but the quastion 2 posts up still open for answers)

Click to expand...

Depends on the area, many of the Inca areas are untamed jungle, and they gain less from them than from their capitails.
On the other hand Egypt, it's lands full of inhabitants and profit, gains more from less land.

ok, Skilord, you mean, with this white circle we earn, how much?
and without it, how much?

The white circle means nothing.

There is no set amount for any place, it is as seems fit, i did the nation stats before the map, i did the nation stats to give each nation the chance i think they would have.

William of Normandy was dead. His family did however continue to rule Normandy after Williams death and now Willhelm was King.
Willhelm had the titel King Willhelm of Normandy. He was called Willhelm the Strong by the populace because he had in his youth killed a bear with his bare hands.

I can see them on the map, but not on the nation list, do they come under a different name?

If they're free, I'll take them lol.

Nemesis

Consul Svenson was giving a speech to his cabinet leaders. His words echoed throughout the halls as he rallied the Viking people. "Any nation who stands in our way will be crushed. We will bury them!" The people cheered and were ready at a moments notice. He also ordered the construction of magificent harbors, forts, and theaters.
