Imperium Offtopicum V: Beta

SSME would be interested. We're always looking to make friends.

Morocco would be happy to have an alliance with you.

After some debate with his advisors, the King has decided full alliance may not be the best of policies for the time being.

However, we like the idea of containing warmongers, and so will happily sign defensive pacts.

Given Spain and Morocco's saber-rattling, defensive pacts are especially as far as we can go.

For SSME, an alliance is definitely a possibility in the future, but a defensive pact should be pursued first, and once that is done, we can decide if we should advance it further. The child does not learn to walk and talk on the first day; he learns to gradually do these with time.

GM Notes: Due to technical difficulties Joe will be unable to post updates. As such, I will be doing updates from now until Joe fixes his computer (just in case anyone was wondering).
 
I'm going to be withdrawing from the beta for reasons of lack of time, and the noting of a tendency to devote the time I have to things other than this. My apologies, and I hope this shall continue on well and lead into a well-done and interesting IOT.

England is hereby up for grabs.
 
I need to withdraw out of this. 24 hours updates just can't work ATM. Serbia up for grabs.

I'm sorry to hear this. I'll notify the next reserve.

Due to the two dropouts, updates will be extended another 24 hours to allow the new players time to send in orders.
 
i am taking over as Serbia. im keeping the same research project, disbanding one army, and claiming the fastest route to Constantinople.

so.. uh.. whats the current diplomatic standing with the kingdom of Serbia?

The army is free...you have a trade agreement with me and Riccio, an alliance with me, and if you claim Constantinople and change your name to Byzantine anything I will kick you.
 
you know, threats just make me want to refuse, just to annoy you more, but this time i will accept, wasn't planning on it anyways.

i will however conquer Greece, Constantinople, and Bulgaria. ill be the largest Serbian empire the world has seen.

( note, even if i don't move the capital to Constantinople, it will still be my best city)
 
Zaporozhian Hetmanate

Language: Ukrainian, though many people also speak Russian
Government: Democratic Republic led by the Hetman
Style: National defence. If it is the fate of the Cossacks to fall to a foreign power (most likely the Mongols at the moment), then we will not go gently into that good night!
National Focus: Military
Color: Blue

(Look at Ukraine)

*game thread post*

It's a closed beta. The playerlist was decided before the game started. If you wish to be placed on the reserves list, PM me and I will do as much.

Once this game ends we will have a main game that will be open to everyone.

Army Notes: The army of Habsburg Empire has improved in quality to 6. The Habsburg Empire now lays claim to the strongest army in Europe.

Ireland has the most powerful navy


If you have been expanding normally (which should be everyone), you may have 3 armies or navies for free. (Remember, you get a free army or navy after every 10th province claimed). Also remember: Army quality drops after every 5th army recruited.

From this point on, all players will now have 48 hours to conduct business, rather than 24.
 
so sorry to post this but...

I hereby drop out of the game.

sorry, but the game is unnecessary complex ( particularly research, which shouldn't be needed), which demands more of my time than usual. this, coupled with civfanatics permanently slow loading times (one minute per page loaded), and other factors has forced me to drop out.

my opinion of this game is: the Game is good, but requires further streamlining to make it fun to play. Income is fine, more or less, but research is unnecessary. drop research and increase maintenance to compensate.

the Kingdom of Serbia will be in the hands of the next in reserve.
 
I'm just checking back in, but I'm still probably not gonna be on much. I'll try to keep up, though. Sorry about the past week. I've had four major projects due this week, plus several tests, and normal homework. Things should settle down after this week, though.

GM Notes:

-Since Cull left us, I'm pretty sure we'll just move down the list of reserves, and I think the next one up is Reiser (if I'm wrong please correct me). I'll send him a quick PM and we can move on :)
-Regarding the lack of activity, if it doesn't pick up soon (and I mean soon, like, by next update), then I'm afraid that I'll just shut down the beta and not start the actual version. If people are showing this lack of enthusiasm for just the beta, me and the rest of the GM's aren't going to break our backs doing all this work for the actual thing. So it's either now or never people, if you don't want to play it, just say so, don't make me and the rest of the GM's waste our time. Anyways, to help spur activity, I'm going to pop up a nice, random event. Enjoy! :)
 
REVOLUTION!
The Great Revolution of 1806 has begun!

The people of Europe are fed up with the rapid expansion of these newly created empires, and are now voicing their disapproval through the barrel of a gun. Nationalists groups in some countries are becoming angry at the empires for taking their land, and have decided the only way to gain independence is to fight back. Other groups wish to stop the expansion of their empires, as they see the imperialist-esque activity as bad for their nation, and are revolting out of pure patriotism. This revolution has manged to spur activity in every single country. And now, the decision on how to deal with it lies with you.

Though do note, even though these rebels are large in number, they lack unity, and can be easily crushed if put up against a more determined foe, i.e. the national army.

You have three ways to deal with this, and you have to choose one (if you don't, you automatically default to the third option).

Option 1: This is a soldiers work - Send the army to quell the rebels and stop any further revolts from happening. Choosing this option will make it so that for 3 updates, your armies will be occupied and you won't be able to use them.

Option 2: This is a local issue - Let the local authorities handle it, i.e. the police, the national guard, etc. Choosing this option will cost a lot of money, as to pay for the extra manpower to stop the revolt, so for 3 updates, you won't be able to spend your income, as it will all go towards stopping the rebellion.

Option 3: This is nothing to worry about - Do nothing, 50% chance the rebellion will spread, 50% chance it will die down.


Here is a map of the rebellious provinces throughout Europe (they're marked in black).

Spoiler :

3 provinces in each nation has fallen into rebel hands.

So, how will you choose to deal with this revolution?
 
Damn the rebels!

The army shall crush them underfoot!

*EDIT*: Can we please allow 48 hours to post claims?
 
The High King of France dispenses his army to quell the rebels.

(I'm honestly not sure how much this will increase activity. It can be handled in one sentence and will just slow things down for three turns. I'd like to help keep up activity, but I can't think of much to post that wouldn't come across as mindless spam.)
