Guess the Map IX: The Richese are no match

[Terxpahseyton]

Right, I forgot. It's time spent sleeping.

Ugh...

Now I am more happy than ever that the "We all have to be like the Japanese!" - craze lived and died in the 80s.

An easy (or very easy) one to get things going...

(might not be 100% correct, but most of it is ok )

 

[gay_Aleks]

Nations that tried invading England? Or nations using the oil in the North Sea (you missed Netherlands, how could you!)?

 

[Kyriakos]

Not that correct, cause Spain and Germany aren't there, while they planned to invade (and Spain possibly was able to).
But it is war-related, yes.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Nations that chartered a military alliance? Like, not NATO, but some sort of a coalition?

 

[Kyriakos]

No, but i will let you have the next map (choose wisely ).

The answer to this one is about a war, the main participants/sides in the campaigns against Harold's anglo-saxon early 11th century England, first by Norway and then by Normandy. The black nations are pools for smaller campaigns, not really meant to have Scotland or Denmark conquer England (the Scottish armies were allied for a while with some Anglo-Saxon fallen lords of 1066, while the Danish invaded so as to be paid in tribute in the usual 'Danegeld' and then leave ).

I'm more of a guessing guy and less of a riddler. Someone else give a map.

Why did you colour in all of France, rather than just the Duchy of Normandy?

 

[gay_Aleks]

Considering he said "local campaigns", it's quite clear that the entirety of France would be included in.

 

[Kyriakos]

Why did you colour in all of France, rather than just the Duchy of Normandy?

If only Normandy was colored, it would be (even more) pointless to present this as a quiz-map

Ooh! Ooh! Mememememe!

A lot of these looked familiar.

Metric system vs furlongs and shamabogs

 

[Takhisis]

Got 80%.

 

[Goodfella]

Missed the bribery and researchers questions.

 

[Takhisis]

Yes, those two and a couple others.

 

[say1988]

27/30, and one was me hitting the wrong button.

 

[Goodfella]

Does anyone have a map?

 

[hangman]

This one's an either/or situation:

[Goodfella]

Hmm. Not much of a pattern. Is the blank country in the pacific the Solomon Islands?
