Since I can't claim the Caribbean Islands, I'll take Svalbard instead.
 
And then there were... 7?
 
Ask the Puerto Ricans if they'd settle for being the capital of a new independent Kingdom of the Antilles? This nation would have full rights to trade with all other nations in the Commonwealth of the Carribean, that being the Aztecs and the Kingdom of Carribea.We would grant them a loan to get started, of course.

(GM: This would have the in-game effects as follows: Create new NPC: Kingdom of the Antilles/Vassalize Kingdom of the Antilles to Carribea/pass $7 to Antilles/pass Puerto Rico and Hispanola to Antilles/issue a statement enforcing Antilles' right to all the Antilles islands)

Correct. Ilduce may take over Japan, however. I approve of anybody here finding forum games regulars to take over NPCs. :goodjob:

The Puerto Ricans accept the offer, of course! The Kingdom of the Antilles will now reign over the eastern Caribbean, functioning as loyal vassals of the Caribbean Empire.

I've changed how religious conversion is a bit. Remember: this is solely for the inner workings to be recorded in case I forget them and won't add much complexity on your part.

When converting to a new state faith, every province not of that faith gains +20% RR for the turn. Every province that doesn't revolt has a 20% chance of converting to the new state faith. This will not be applied retroactively.
 
We refuse Taosim. It is a religion that supports "peace", "balance" and the like that can only be achived by nature. BALLOCKS! Only through the sword can that ever be achived! WE SHALL LIVE FOREVER MORE! KILL THE HEATHEN TAOISTS!

Invst the 200 golde evenlly between Military and Civics.

I will need the new tech before I put further orders.
 
umm... Canada distances itself from desert. by closing the borders. but we are allowing taoism.
 
Current Status of Deseret: Army 7 – 1/76
Civ 5 – 52/60. 35 gold remains for spending.

Deseret is now capable of guarantees and defensive pacts(Army 5) and full alliances(army 6).

Taoism has been rejected by the nation of Deseret. The province of Utah will return to paganism. However, Taoism has been militarised and appropriated by the other North American militaristic power - the Aztec Empire. Liberally re-interpreting the faith as the ends justify the means, that violence will pave the road to peace, and that violence and non-violence too, are part of the harmonious order of society, Tenochtitlan has been easily swept by the faith instead.
 
aww, why aztec? Canada is by far the better choice to be the taoist nation, actually beign peaceful and neutral.

The Aztecs are more similar culturally to Deseret, being that both are militaristic.

Plus it seems like a very political move the Aztecs would do - give shelter to the faith that their natural enemies the Deseretians rejected.
 
The amazon states that we are very happy with our friends the Aztec adopting Taoism.
 
Carribea would like to give shelter to Taoism as it should be if we are allowed. By which we mean the peaceful version.

Well, peaceful or militarist makes no difference in game, I just figured it would be a way to reconcile Aztec militarism with the Taoist faith. ;)

I assume you mean you wish to convert to Taoism?

Oh and spread it to me when you do :) speaking of which, hurry up and upgrade your diplo so we can hash out a trade agreement. I hear rumors that other nations on the continent have much income than ourselves.
 
The Great Wars

The Middle East and surrounding regions are a mess, with two gigantic wars being fought - the Persian Succession War and the Yemeni Revolt in Axum.

Axum recruits 4 more armies, bringing its total forces up to 10 units. If it succeeds in its offensive, it will crush the revolt, if it fails, the consequences will be dire.

1-5
2-2
1-23
6-16
3-5
6-21
23-22
11-7
13-11
4-16

Axum won only 4 of 10 battles. The rebels, with their spare 6 armies, are able to crush Axum, seizing 2 net provinces. 12 of Axum's 41 provinces are under their control.

Succession War

Persia, with a net of only 10 income, recruits two armies. Persia sends all 7 forces against Hedjaz as per its lord Astrakhan's orders; Astrakhan will protect Persia.

22-15
4-17
11-18
26-6
4-27
27-22
1-16
15-15

Persia wins back 5 provinces.

---

Astrakhan wields 13 armies. 5 are selected to protect Astrakhan proper and Persia. The remaining 3 are sent on campaign.

16-10
27-11. This Hedjaz army is destroyed!
18-27

Hedjaz has suffered some setbacks, but they are ready to retaliate. 6 of their 12 armies are retired. With 46 gold, they recruit 9 armies. They now have 15. 5 are put on the defensive in Persia, with the remaining 10 going to war.

27-5
11-9
18-9
8-3
23-8

All of Persia's defenders are routed. The remaining 5 armies overwhelm the rest of Persia without resistance, reducing Persia to 6 armies.

Astrakhan sees opportunity now that Hedjaz's forces are used up, and orders a new offensive, using all 5 of its armies.

11-23. Astrakhan army destroyed.
23-17
27-6
22-9
16-26. Astrakhan army destroyed.

3 battles won! However, Persia undoes 2 of the victories in the aftermath.
 
I'll hold off a bit on converting. Let some provinces convert. However announce that we'll gladly harbor any Taoists who feel that the Aztecs have twisted the faith or who are simply fleeing Deseret.

We're also going to tell Deseret that they still haven't responded to our offer. And we're losing patience.
