That's awesome!!!!!

Any chance you could do a zoomed-in version of the Europe area and another of the East Asia area? That should increase the quality.

Yea I'll do that in a bit.
 
Good work, LM. There ought to be a front-page link to that post.

In other news, Byzantine Army troops captured and razed Palembang yesterday, eliminating the last penguin hideout. ;)
 
The animated map has now been added to the front page in Post 3, which has been revamped into a map post. In an idea stolen shamelessly from the Farow, the current map has also been added to that post.
 
I think we should thank Xen for first coming up with that idea. Strangely, no-one else after him used it... until now

Bahahah. My first reaction was actually WTFSRSLY. ... My part of the world is boring.:(:(
I need to be more involved somehow, without cutting into my real life. ADVICE ANYONE?
I have some stories that I've been meaning to finish, buuuuut I don't feel like working on anything remotely involving English and/or literary skills right now.

I think the Medes are still ahead of you at this point...
 
Two things. Rather obviously, i'm back- that's the first.

Second, don't you think the amount of time the fall takes should be a factor? I was too busy focusing on Sweeden to pay attention, but it seems like the Sea Peoples fell in a turn, in effect, while the Medes took about 3-4.
 
No, Medes fell in one turn, those other turns before that it was gaining altitude before reaching it's peak so to say. Or at least that's how I saw it...
 
I don't know enough to say, though if i remember right Andis-1 played Ur. If so, we need a more unbiased and yet knowledgable opinion. jalapeno_dude says the Medes are ahead, though.

Note: These stories are for fun only- I WAIVE ALL BONUSES ON THEM.
EDIT: From them.

The Fate of the Finnists:
The Finnists slowly travelled south. The "Sweedish Finnists" distinguished not by doctrinal diffrences yet but by the way they travelled, fled to Novogord, then furthur south, establishing kingdoms along the coast and in central Russia. Along the coast, the dominant kingdom was the "Kingdom of Finnland", while furthur in the ethnically Sweedish Moscovy struggled with the Finnist convert native Tartaria.

Meuran Finnists, however, fled south, settling in Gascony and ethnically Eire settlements. While dreaming of civilisation, they had not a hope of creating one. Barely better then their barbaric neighburs, they slowly intermixed.

They did, however, give birth to a great explorer- Magellan. Magellan sailed as far as the former Leauge cities, then got rich selling information about Sweeden. By now the info was highly mythical, and it was seen as some fantasy kingdom. The gullible believed it, and the intellegent thought it a very subtle joke.

Magellan settled in Carthaginian Syrcause, and spent the rest of his life trying to found a trading company to dominate the Western Meditteranian of fellow Meurans, who were falling quickly into barbarism. His son founded the tiny "Magellan Company" of traders, but they were insignificant, even economically.

The Fate of the Scanians:
A portion of Scanians attempted to build a "Kingdom of Scania" in the region between Denmark and Sweeden. Sucesfully overruning the region by sheer weight of numbers, they then attempted to set up a unified kingdom. But the area was unstable, and collapsed into civil war. They did manage to give their name to the region, but nothing more.

Small minorities went to attempt to establish a Kingdom of Cophenhagen by following the Sweedish merchant attack plan. Whatever the Kings of Sweeden thought, however, the Prussians were not idiots. The plan failed, and the heretics settled in "Norland", (OTL Norway). They established small communities that traded with Sweeden, pretending to be Orthodox settlers.

They also created the great Epic "The Great Dramas of Sweedish History", a long and boring document that went for 60,000 pages. However, the Norlander Scanians made it a religious law that all of them studied it, and reading the whole of it was a rite of passage to adulthood! This made Norland Scanianism less popular to say the least...

The Migrations of the Christians- Part 1:
OOC: Christianity in Sweeden as i made it (made Sweeden, that is) would be very intresting, but it would take at least two centuries to get all the way from the Northern Hedjaz in force. Speeding it up.

In 490 B.C, a curious new religion sprung up. While preaching to accept Hitttite occupation, it talked of spiritual conquest. Many called it the Christians. The religion was persecuted, and Jesus, it's leader, executed when he started calling himself the Son of God. His followers were uprooted from the Hedjaz, and began to flee- a treakle of converts would come, but they were largely insignificant, and the community numbered only about 20.

The Christian's first destination was Cyprus, where they left a minority. There, they decided to have a Pope, a spiritual leader, to avoid doctrinal disputes and keep the Christians together- they had to avoid detection, and leadership was required. However, the local government largely uprooted the community, though the Pope stayed with a small minority.

The main Christian community was soon in Syrcause, and even there persecuted. In Syrcause, however, the Christians quickly gained strong roots. A Christian met Magellan, but he refused to become a Christian and turned in a few. However, his son secretly joined the community, becoming a double agent- his efforts were increasingly frustrated.

Magellan's son Christophus began to re-sail the journey to Sweeden to export Christanity, with many missionaries. They stopped at Gibraltar and several former Eire colonies, where Christophus made absoulutly sure Christanity and Finnism did not intermix. He then sailed into France, spreading the word, went around Denmark, almost get sunk, and reached Sweeden.

But Christophus had made a major mistake in his desire to reach Sweeden- each stop was too small. Minor, insignificant communities spread throughout the coast, but nothing more, and it was using up all the Christian resources to even supply them all with priests! Christophus, anxious to spread the word to his homeland, preached himself.

He was almost executed, but made an alliance by marriage with the Meura, who wanted him to go to explore the lands north of Brittania, and paid for missionaries. This expedition discovered several islands, but ended up like the first. Christophus failed to convert his wife and all but one of his children to Christianity, and it's posistion outside Sycrause was perilous...
 
*raises eyebrow* Erm....
