NES2 II: Age of Discovery

OOC: nice orders ;)
 
OOC:
Thinking of joining as the Mississippian Empire... Could you please send me some details on their recent history and how they differ from native americans in OTL in a PM, das? That would be very nice...

No time to PM.

Messipa appeared in 750 AD, when numerous local tribes united to defend against nomadic "Aztec" tribes moving from the west. Think Mound-Builders, sort of. Having FINALLY defeated the Aztecs (by then settled in Florida, or "Aztec Peninsula") in the 11th Century, Messipia continued to fight a war with the "barbarians" further north. It was, however, stagnating and isolated. It was occasionally revitalized by strong leaders, but as of Late 12th Century, it was only holding on the hatred of barbarian tribes and the technological superiority to afforementioned tribes.

In 1235, the "Ocean Plague" (diseases brought by Scotian explorers) reached Messipia, causing a period of instability, but Messipia emerged stronger then before. But then, in 1265, the Scotian adventurers and expeditionaries, led by MacOrvall, have arrived in the Aztec Peninsula and occupied much of it. Soon after, their Tarunist allies pushed far into Messipia, but faced an unrelenting guerrila war. After the Messippian chieftain died, command was assumed by Robert Wallace...

Robert Wallace? What Robert Wallace? Wallace was one of the expeditionaries, but secretly, he was an Aryanist Christian and went along to defect and become a missionary or a hermit (so his memoirs say anyway). But when he realized that the Tarunists came to wage a war of conquest and destruction against the poor, innocent natives to whom he wanted to bring the Word of God (sounds nice, eh? Source is his memoirs, naturally), he went on to assist the Messippians, teach them of Tarunist tactics and strategy, and to teach them to produce iron weapons and so on. As the result, the "Tarunist heathens" got repulsed, and there was much rejoicing.

The real story is probably that he was just another adventurer who hated all Tarunists because of his father's death at their hands and chose to help the Messippians for the hell of it. But, ofcourse, he didn't pass up the opportunity to become an emperor. Right now, he is trying to open his new-found empire to the world.

(don't worry - if you don't want a Christian/semiChristian empire, its never to late to kill off Wallace and make the project convert people to Buddhism and stuff ;) )
What was it? The Black Army? Or something/someone else?

The Black Army was one of the "bad things" to happen in the near future. Do know that I still have many surprises in store... MUWHAHAHAHA!!!

Sure, maybe we can work out a treaty...

One problem - your people just so happen to hate Tarunism. See above.
Burgundy is simply laying claim to southern Svenia for the fast approaching time when Tarunism is no more.

Like said by other people, "don't forget about Baltia, its huge, mean, and has a megalomaniac Tarunist berserker for an emperor. Sigh. As if we REALLY needed an equivalent of the Lombardian king on the other side."

Hellfish: I dont think you understand the amount of "material" thrown at Sveroslavia each turn. So many troops walking through there and pillaging, I am surprised there is anyone left alive!

Quite true. Everybody who didn't flee Northern Severoslavia is dead or enslaved. Or is a Tarunist colonist.
 
Orders for now:
Continue invasion
Grow economy
Spend one economy level completing the great project

Story may come later.
 
[How do I advance in age? Is it random as it said in the intro to the game?
When I spend an eco. level, does my eco. level drop or is one eco. an economy level?

I'll send my orders as soon as the questions are answered, thanks. :)]

When the Burgundian king emerges on the battlefield of Severoslavia he shall strike fear into the heart of the Tarunist heathens, they will flee at his precense or be destroyed, all of them.
 
to Persia and Judea:
We still belive that unification is the best way to continue... Than we could expand Itzhakism to every corner of the world as one of the greatest empires ever seen!

to Persia:
If Judea doesn't want, would you unite wih us that atleast us two could create this major force we are talking about? Allied we are strong, United we are indestructable. (sp?)

Toteone, the big dark red blob in Russia. Is Tarunist... Think you can take it? No one else ever did in RL history...

to Sinhalese India Empire:
You are giving weapones to our enemies. SHould we feel threatened? I'll answer to myself, yes.
To Khazaria:
From Sinhalese India
You should feel threatened by us, but your survival depends on whether we feel threatened by you.

We are quite aware of who we gave our weapon technology to and let me say, we feel no regret about it at all.

Go ahead and feel threatened. We want you to feel that way.
 
How do I advance in age? Is it random as it said in the intro to the game?

Fairly random, but also determined by your nation's education somewhat.

When I spend an eco. level, does my eco. level drop or is one eco. an economy level?

When you "sacrifice" eco, you lose a level. When you simply use econ. points, you don't lose a level.

From: Persia
To: Khazaria

We quite agree. But how will we name the new nation?

From: Judea
To: Khazaria

We still think it is not needed. Such an empire would be simply too overextended, its attention will be needed on a vast territory. It will simply crumble - like Alexander's.
 
Just a random question... how are you supposed to pronounce "Baltia"? I pronounce it "BALL-sha", but are you supposed to pronounce it "BALL-tee-ah"?
 
Das, considering these are my stats:

Education: Enlightenment +2
Culture: Uberpatriotic +2
Confidence: Nation Personified +2

Would you consider Sinhala, 'stable' for a large empire?
 
Thanks das. I officially take control of the Mississippian Empire, and will start doing diplo and orders soon.

BTW, I assume I ahve contact with TSA and all the big colonials?
 
to Byzantium:
The soc alled Armies of Byzantium are on retreat and are so few and scatered that their survival is impposible against armies more than 3 times bigger...

to Judea:
We are all Itzhakist, one shall not rebelle agaisnt the other... And besides each of the 3 monarchis will continue to rule it's own realm as an autonomy while the unification will be run by all 3 kings.

to Persia:
What about 'Mamleket Itzhak'?
 
to Byzantium:
Oh don't worry about us... We know what better technology can do... You have not yet begun to fight against our more advanced tools...
