In 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered two entire continents unknown by anyone in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Soon after nations, specifically Portugal and Spain, attempted to take over this 'New World'. Unfortunately they could not agree on things. Quarrels turned into international disputes. International disputes turned into wars. Soon, all of Europe was at war. Everything collapsed.

But not all is over. The year is 1500. The survivors of the war banded together, and created civilization once again!

You are a leader of one of these new nations. But the New World is out there to explore and dominate. Which path will you take to victory? Will you create fine armies to destroy the opposition in Europe? Will you create vast colonies across America and Africa? Or will you take a more peaceful route, and make a colossal wealth unlike any other? The choice is yours.​



The Rules​

Imperium Offtopicum: Age of Discovery is an empire-building and roleplaying strategy game in the IOT format. Build nations, claim territory, fight other nations in the mission to win the game.

This game is turn-based. When an update, or turn, comes along, you give me orders for your nation, and I use the info to create another update. Updates will occur at least once a week, or until the orders of all nations are given. Before an update, I will lock orders, which means you can't change them. This is so I don't get complaints about the orders being wrong because I was doing the update.

The game starts at 1500 and turns last for 5 years. The game will end in 1700, which gives the game 40 turns maximum.

House Rules

First, there are a few house rules you must follow:

Spoiler :
1. Do not flame, troll, or personally insult any other player. You may comment on their actions negatively if they are behaving badly, but don't take it further than that.
2. Stay on topic. Make sure all comments are relevant to the fictional world of the current IOT and have nothing to do with your personal religious/political beliefs.
3. The Game Thread is not a chat room. If a conversation is only relevant to a few players, then discuss it with those players themselves. Use Social Groups or visitor/private messaging to discuss diplomatic issues. Don’t spam.
4. No powergaming. By definition, powergaming is making your country surpass every other country by all terms including armed forces, technology, etc.
6. The GM is supreme. He reserves the right to change game rules, ignore or modify orders, impose restrictions on players, disband player nations, and so on.
7. Above all else, RESPECT THY FELLOW FORUMERS.

The game thread is restricted to these things:

1. Updates and rule clarifications
2. Player actions in Bold and Red
3. Player trading deals in Bold and Blue
4. Player Nation Commentary and history building

Any diplomacy must be done in the diplomacy group, which I will make later.

Those who break the rules will be penalized via events in-game, and if you piss me off enough, you're booted out of the game and your nation disbanded.

Starting Off

If you want to play, first check to see if signups are open. Then fill out this application:

Player: Your username. Not too confusing.

Nation: The name of the nation you will roleplay. Ex. France, Morocco. You don't have to do a historical name, but make sure it's relevant. Ex. no Ponyland.

Color: Your nation's color on the map. This is to differentiate nations and their territories.

Claims: Post a map of your claims. You get 5 provinces in Europe or North Africa. Here is a more detailed map of that. For the map, take the map post and save the pic on your computer, then edit it on an image editing program, like Paint.

Capital: On that same map, signal where your capital is with a dot or something. Also, give it a name.

Flag: Post a picture of your nation's flag. I need this so I can differentiate armies and navies.

Maybe Angel of the Balance was a neutral, or a serial killer, or some kind of special role.
