NES World/Regional Maps Requests Thread

Especially about Russia; I have absolutely no clue what happens with Russia for most of recorded history

I'm pretty hard-pressed to point out any single events in the 14th century myself, aside from the most obvious one in 1380.

Anyway, I'm sure that nothing important occurred from 1343 to 1350 in Russia. Muscovy and Lithuania steadily strengthened and expanded slightly, but probably nothing more. Certainly nothing that would matter in the Rice and Salt timeline.

NK, a quick request: if you still have the historical map from 450 AD on your hard drive or at a place easily accessed, could you repost it? If it's too much trouble I can go try to find it myself, but I'm not too keen on looking through four threads.

Here you go.

I modified NK map eliminating Europe and sorrounding lands...but I don't know how post it! Anyone has advices?

 

[North King]

Go to www.imageshack.us, upload your image, use the links they provide to you, and report back.

 

[Abaddon]

Or just upload it on cfc?

 

[Flavius Aetius]

Spoiler :

I simply eliminated Europe and sorrounding areas...I think I should create some greay civilized area (or survival area) in Europe.

 

[Abaddon]

Wouldnt such devestation have an effect on Asia/North Africa?

 

[Flavius Aetius]

Probably, but it's an book idea, so I don't will to change it.

 

[Abaddon]

Can you link my to a synposis?

[Abaddon]

Hmm, admittedly it might be explained by the book.. but why is europe exclusivly effected, and nowhere else in the world?

 

[Flavius Aetius]

Until the fifth novel (where I am) it's not explained, maybe later, in modern times.

 

[Abaddon]

Unless China or India fracture.. its game over for everyone else before it even starts..

 

[Flavius Aetius]

What do you mean?

 

[Abaddon]

Their economic strenght can squash everything else in a flick of its little finger.

 

[Flavius Aetius]

Mmm...the Indian nation is going to crush in a couple of years, but China...maybe China will be permanent NPC, but I think it's not a good idea.

 

[Abaddon]

Well you would have to don't do anything, I'm reserving China!

But, you really need to weaken China so its not lightyears ahead of others (unless you NPC it, i like this idea) Because its at least 3 times economically stronger than any other.

Ahem. It's every bit as strong as in OTL; balance in it's vicinity is not all that affected early on. And yet it failed to smash anyone at all historically in this time period, despite being indubitably ahead of everyone. The same goes for the book.

Would that perhaps have something to do with the Yuan and Ming being in the middle of a government change?

...actually, I wouldn't know very much about that. My knowledge of Chinese history after the Tang and before 1600 is sparse at best.

but what would stop a player doing it?
