Considering right now the world isn't even unified by communications, you wouldn't have much RPing to do anyway, besides with Omega124 and NPCs.
Anywho:
Update 7
Incidents
The Hindus of Egypt have risen up against the Nubian government in the Nile Delta! They have THREE armies, making them formidable. They demand a change to Hinduism. They have converted North Suez to Hinduism after capturing it.
Rebels elsewhere have all been vaporised sans the New Jerseyans.
Events
Singapore has had a scientific breakthrough. As a result, they have finished Civics 4, or gained +29 free research.
Carthage has suffered a revolt in its desert province, supposedly over "oppression of native traditions."
Inca has had a settler rush. They now get to claim 3, rather than 2, provinces for this turn.
Maracaibo has had a breakthrough, gaining +5 research and finishing Military I.
Religious Events
This will be separate from regular events. The inner workings are simple: if you have contact with a certain religion, you have a chance of getting converted. If you get one conversion, you will continue with more RNG with a 25% chance of conversion. Until you don't get that chance, the conversions can continue for a long time.
Province only: +50% if the province is pagan!
National: If your state religion is of the faith, +10%. Any trading agreement increases the chance +5% due to even more contact.
Hinduism - Iberia(50% + 5% = 55%); Rome, Nubia, Germany, Austria and all countries in contact (Lombardia, France) with Carthage are at 50%.
Iberia: Hinduism spreads to 4 provinces!
Rome: 1 province converted.
Nubia: Due to government war on the Hindus, no conversions.
Germany: 1 converted.
Austria: 1 converted.
Lombardia: 5 conversions. All of Lombardy has converted, prompting Lombardy to switch to Hinduism as the new state faith. Every state faith will add +1 to the holy city in addition to any provincial benefit, so Carthage now collects 3.2 from faith rather than just 1.
France: No conversions.
Judaism - Novgorod has a 55% chance, everyone else in contact with Kiev(Germany, Austria, Astrakhan, Novgorod, and Rome, Na-Na-Nine) has a 50% chance.
Novgorod: 3 provinces converted.
Germany: N/A
Austria: 2 conversions
Astrakhan: N/A
Rome: 2 conversions.
Na-Na-Nine: N/A
From this turn onward, states collect religious money from their own provinces too, but they no longer get auto-conversion; religion will have to spread to their new provinces the ordinary way - they will have a 60% chance of conversion(base + state faith).
Announcements:
Please welcome Mathalamus as the new leader of Canada.
For simplicity, and the fact it's impossible to enforce, I've abolished the "limit on diplomatic meetings" rule which was regulated by diplomacy(you could only have 1 meeting + 1 for each diplomacy per turn). The limits on the exact agreements are still in order however. (You need to have 2 Diplo for every new trade agreement(and all upgrades) you want)
