From Spain:


The Republic of Spain requests an NAP with all of your nations for 5 turns.
 
The American Confederation would like to inquire as to our incentives for such an agreement.

Edit: Nothing wrong with a bit of pre-game trash-talking.
 
We'd like you to hold your horses until the NES starts. No need to be hasty with anything.
 
Didn't the update officially declare the beginning of the NES?
 
Without the opening of the official thread, this NES hasn't begun, darlin'.

Plus factor in the lack of a backstory and the lack of statistics and you'll see that a NES we do not have.
 
Don't you go darlin' in me pumpkin! Ok, I get it. But in statistics, don't you mean stats? Don't we already have them?
 
Its on the way. I'm finishing it up on my laptop at a coffee shop and bad connection, crappy keyboard and lots of distractions are slowing down my progress a bit...

P.S. I might not have a full tech list for the first update, but it should be enough to get things going.
 
Don't you go darlin' in me pumpkin! Ok, I get it. But in statistics, don't you mean stats? Don't we already have them?

"Statistics" is the correct term. For another thing, the partial stats are up. Many nations are missing still. The backstory/background and rule set are not available yet, thus, LightFang's previous comment. And, I was semi-kidding with my diplo comments. Du calme.

End of discussion. Let's wait for the proper thread to open.
 
@Bombshoo: can you give an Estimate of when the new thread will be opened EST time?
 
late tonight or early tomorrow. Bad internet connection has slowed progress. If i didn't have to do research for proper heads of state and such I could launch it now. Still its those extra details, that create a real world and make an NES great instead of good I think.
 
You could always demand we do it to earn the right to play in your NES.. cuts out a lot of work for you ;)
 
Well, you can lose a wide variety of Persian or Central Asian names for the Timurids, who didn't exist at this point in OTL history. I can suggest a name, if you'd like.
 
I took the head of the Mughol dynasty at this time for them. It might not be perfect, but its good enough I thought.

There is probably some flaws in a lot of them, but its the best I can do without hours of research on dynasties and such.

As for picking your leaders, I am doing it now, but I expect you to pick all subsequent ones.
 
Could I be Louisiana
 
You know, any other time I would be worried that I don't have stats :).
 
I thought I posted all the player stats already...Guess I missed this.


The Kingdom of Jerusalem
Capital: Jerusalem
Leader: King Francis II de Lusignan
Authoritarian Monarchy: Conservative
Dissent: 20%
Global Opinion: Neutral
Base IC: 8
Military Spending: 5
Public Spending: 1
Private Enterprise: 2
Army: 14 divisions, 10 cavalry divisions
Army Quality: 8
Navy: 1 battleship, 12 squadrons
Navy Quality: 6
Background: When the Arabs retook the Holy Land from the Byzantines in the 1100s, The Pope declared a Crusade to recapture Jerusalem. The response was phenomenal. French and English knights poured into the Holy Land, and set up a fiefdom of their own on the pretext of protecting Christian pilgrims. Although Saladin was nearly successful in destroying the Kingdom, the combined might of the Western powers and Byzantines simply too much and a ceasefire was agreed upon at his death. Since then, the kingdom has prospered from trade with the Italian states, and to this day maintains one of the most advanced and well equipped armies in the world. The Kingdom lost some of its support when France underwent revolution, but still maintains ties to many other western countries, who continue to see it as a bulwark against Islam.
 
The Sultanate of Oman-Zanzibar
Capital: Tokyo
Leader: Sultan Thuwayni ibn Sa'id
Theocratic Monarchy: Conservative
Dissent: 12%
Global Opinion: Neutral
Base IC: 6
Military Spending: 4
Public Spending: 1
Private Enterprise: 1
Army: 6 Divisions, 2 Cavalry Divisions
Army Quality: 5
Navy: 15 Squadrons
Navy Quality: 7
Background: If Oman can avoid being absorbed by a colonial power, its prospects are actually quite high. It has a large amount of room to expand, and Its trading ships and privateers are making hefty profit in the Indian Ocean. The Sultan however should be weary of his brother, the governor-prince of Zanzibar, who might seek independence for his island, or take all of Oman himself.

Really? ;)

Also, I cry quite a lot that you are using the economic model I despise with all my heart to the level I am unsure I will play in this NES :(
 
Well, you can lose a wide variety of Persian or Central Asian names for the Timurids, who didn't exist at this point in OTL history. I can suggest a name, if you'd like.

Stop! ;) I actually thought about the absurdity of the very existence of the Timurids when I first saw the map, but it then came to me that the name "Temur" is Chagatai for "iron". Which is not at all an unlikely name for the son of some chieftain or warlord or monarch at some later point in history, and a fellow with such a name is perhaps about as likely as any other petty leader to carve a great empire out of the post-Mongolian power vacuum. So that still works.

;)

You'd be surprised how much this model actually keeps players from constantly spending all their income on military. Like the other more common economic models...
