New NES

[bombshoo]

The green is the Byzantines who have only reconquered Egypt in fairly recent times, Thats a former crusader kingdom in Palestine that acted as a French puppet until the revolution, the Central Asian country is a remnant of the Timurids.

Do you have a timeline good sir?

 

[bombshoo]

I have an idea but not drawn out, and it definatly has some holes. The goal was to make an interesting situation rather then one that would be most accurate anyways.

 

[Azale]

Well, as long as you have nation backgrounds of some capacity, I'm good.

 

[bombshoo]

There is. I even have a web of dynastic marriages drawn out some what.

 

[Luckymoose]

I claim the German Union.

 

[Dachs]

What's the nation background on the UAS? I am interested in them, if we can have nation descriptions. I also sort of like the American Confederation.

 

[Justo]

If we're able to claim nations then I would like to claim the Northern Italian Republic.

 

[bombshoo]

If people claim nations right now, I don't have a problem with it, but I can't even guarentee some of them will still exist when this starts (espeically smaller ones).

The UAS and American Confederation are essentiall the US North and the US South who chose to split instead of unite after independance. The North does have a higher Dutch and Swedish minority then OOTL though.

Incase your curious on the other 2 american nations, Lousiana is kind of a French Taiwan. The French monarchy fled there after the revolution so it generally has bad relations with actual France, though its supported by Spain.

The Republic of California (Name subject to change), is a real mixed bag and exists due to the rich mining companies in the area playing off several competing powers against one another. It has a slight majority of whites from the American Union with large numbers of former Japanese colonists and Mexicans as well.

 

[~Darkening~]

I'd like the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Might keep me interested.

 

[Dachs]

What are the general alliance systems, or loose agreements, in this world? Who have the UAS and the Confederation been cozying up to?

 

[The Loser]

Claiming Grand Duchy of Austria!

 

[sp1023]

I'll take Kingdom of Great Britain, although I might switch when the stats are posted.

 

[bombshoo]

Sp, no offense to you, but I'd prefer if someone with a bit more experiance took GB. If it's not taken by the 1st turn in the NES you can have it though.

That being said, these are the seven super powers which I think a considerable amount of playing time (3 monthes and 1 long NES atleast) is needed for.

Great Britain
Byzantine Empire
France
German Union
Polish-Hungarian Commonwealth
Empire of Japan
Timurid Empire

This still leaves a good dozen or so moderate powers that anyone can choose from, and if you want a challange some weak ones too.

As for the alliance system, its not entirely figured out yet. Whatever I decide on, it will be logical but leave lot of room for maneuvering however.

 

[sp1023]

Well, I have played foir around 3 months, and I have participated in Carmen's old NES, as well as Luck NES, Abnes, and Nuke NES.

Maybe I'll take France then.

 

[Flavius Aetius]

Sorry, double post.

 

[Flavius Aetius]

sp1023, belive me, it's too difficult for you to take major nations...In DANES, I toke Great Britain and I lead it to the distruction, and I had at least 3 or 4 months of NES experiences...

 

[bombshoo]

I'll make you a deal, send me a couple of sets of old orders Sp. I think they're good enough, you can have it.

 

[Dachs]

sp1023, belive me, it's too difficult for you to take major nations...In DANES, I toke Great Britain and I lead it to the distruction, and I had at least 3 or 4 months of NES experiences...

You weren't doing that badly, I think, but you could definitely have used a bit more experience, yes.

Put me down for extreme interest in the Kingdom of Sweden, please.

 

[Luckymoose]

I agree that even time != experience. Actually playing and learning does. Look at people like Perfectionist and Littleboots. They popped right in and challenged the big boys. It took me a lot of time to get to even the state I am currently, mostly failures and learning from other people.


@Dachs: Vut do you vant!?
