Imperium Offtopicum IV: Third's the Charm?

do i have to make a country bio? and can i sieze another region on my first turn

 

[Mathalamus]

I myself run on the idea that there was a great Cataclysm that destroyed all the governments of the world(as seen in my posts proposing treaties with Byzantium and Greece), with various cities turning into city-states afterward and working to rebuild their former nations...

...and perhaps more.



The Federation is very happy to hear of such an offer, however, it must politely decline for now; there seems to be great hostility towards Byzantium, and the world is currently very unstable, with expansions and revolutions making things difficult to assess.

The Federation, however, will keep the offer on the table for the future. Once the world's political climate stabilises, the Federation will begin to pick and choose its allies, and the Byzantines may be one of them.

As a compensation for this rejection, the Federation reminds the Byzantines that they too should be trying to claim more territory to ensure they do not fall behind.

Byzantium considers Romes advice. and immediately invades the edrine province.

(note) all other invasions will be concentrated in Anatolia. and a few other things.

I knew it wouldn't last.

You don't need a bio. And what the heck, go ahead and take another territory.

yeah once im done conquering the areas i want ill re post the country bios.

obviously sicne its turkey ill need to combine Byzantium and turkey somehow.

 

[Virote_Considon]

I take the province directly to the south of my current province.

 

[Tee Kay]

Since we can claim two small provinces, I expand south to claim Himachal Pradesh and Indian Punjab

 

[GenMarshall]

Wait, we can claim two? Well may as well add in Saxony-Anhalt along with The City of Berlin.

Out of generosity, the Federation has compiled a map of the current major states of the world, based on information that can be gleaned from the varying sources:

CivGen, just for the record do you have any long term plans for Luxembourg or Alasce-Lorraine? Since it's clear we're going to border each other maybe we should strategize our claims.

 

[Tee Kay]

Can you seriously not make the map bigger?

It looks like you forgot China

Thorvald, at this rate it's going to take forever to claim all the territories. I suggest that:
- we be allowed to claim up to 10 territories each update and
- single pixel territories be counted as 1/2 a territory, and
- each non-single-pixel territory in Australia, USA, China, Canada, Brazil, Russia and India counting as 2 territories (as they are large ones)
- Each poster will have to explicitly state and map these territories in the thread.

I think this was his original point, basically this to stop people from gobbling up multiple countries in a single turn.

Yes, but this way it's too slow. Also, at present there's no distinction between small and large territories. Single pixels like Berlin and smaller provinces like Brandenburg should not have the same value as, say, California.

What I am suggesting speeds up the process considerably as well as making it fairer while still avoiding wholesale multiple-countries landgrab.

 

[Mad Man]

I can see how your proposal makes sense but in the end it's up to Thorvald to decide but I don't think hes logged in at the moment.

I'll be bordering you too.

I, for one, will be willing to stay out of France if you stay out of Italy.

There will of course, be the issue of Corsica...

In which case, the Federation voices its intentions to claim Corsica due to its historical ties to Italy first and foremost, not having been French until 1770.

I was just using the original source map.

I had the zoom feature to assist. Copy-pasting into Paint is quite useful.

Thorvald's map didn't have China on it.

If you want it that badly then the French surrender our claim to it, how ever as a compromise I lay future claim to Monaco and the Balearic Islands(I need a stepping stone to Africa hint hint)

 

[Mathalamus]

i know its only been five hours but i want to make up for not claiming anything in the first day. if tis not valid i apologize.

Byzantine forces has taken North West Anatolia. the plus side is that we still don't need new soldiers for some time.

President Omega just woke up after a good night's rest, and after getting some coffee, went straight to work. Immediately on his desk was a top-priority folder about the "Missing States". While no one still knows why all contact with them is gone, it was great news, nevertheless. Apparently, there were many 6-Month enlistees into the Massachusetts Regulars, that they had the manpower to search a second state.

The choice, however, was hard. Should he start north, and then work his way down? Go south, and later take the northern states when there's time? This is some serious business, but then, he realized Québec. If they really wanted to, they could claim Maine for no reason. Annexing a member state was simply inexcusable, and therefore had to take it, fast. So, in order Maine, he first had to get communications with New Hampshire back online. Since there was only enough manpower for an additional state, he signed the New Hampshire section, put the folder in the "Completed" pile, took a sip of coffee, and dived into the other matters.

OOC: So, if you're too lazy to read, I'm claiming New York from my last story and New Hampshire from this story.

My only interests in the Americas Include Quebec, Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Newfoundland and Labrador, Haiti, and maybe Louisiana so New England has nothing to worry from us.
