SheepNES: The Dragon is Awake: MAIN THREAD

To Incan
From Chosun

We shall sign your trading treaty although we do not have any idea what we may shall trade.

OOC: I think it has something to do with the centuries-old hatred and being one of the central tenants of the religion that is the foundation of your state. But hey, don't let me stop you.

ooc: I am not going to disallow it but it could lead to a situation like in RL's alliance between the USA and Saudis.... it could work at government level but it doesnt mean ALL the people will like it. After all Protestants and Catholics can ally as well it would be unfair to both Kentharu and sp1023 to disallow this given that.

 

[Stormbringer]

OOC: Oh, don't worry about me, I am all for it. As long as they make it work somehow I will only be impressed.

 

[Tee Kay]

I confirm reservation as Ayutthaya.

Gold and silver will be arriving in your ports, as well as llamas. We will gladly accept any valuable goods you wish to send over to us.

I confirm reservation as Ayutthaya.

Confirmed by me..... a_propogandist you have 36 hours to confirm the Papal States as the sole remaining claim to be confirmed or I will rescind your reservation.

Thanks once again to everyone for their prompt claims!

To the Incan Empire
From Chosun

We can send you good sturdy Korean pack-horses and some amount of Korean-gunpowder, good for either celebration or war.

From The Ottoman Empire
To The Great Knyaz of Russia and Poland-Lithuania

Perhaps a fair solution would be to allow both Ottoman and Russian shared control of the banks of the Caspian Sea and the river Volga while Russia the rest of Astrakhan. (instead of splitting it half n half, Ottomans would gain a little sliver of land to the south-west of Volga and the bank of the Caspian while Russian would control the rest of Astrakhan and the north-eastern bank).

As it pertains to Azov, the Ottomans understand your reasoning. We will allow both Russian and Poland-Luthanian merchants full access to Azov without fear of persecution or undo harm, so long as they respect Ottoman law. We shall retain ownership of the port and land however your merchants shall not face higher land taxes or import fees while conducting business. We think this will allow virtually free access to the port in respect to taxes and what not. In this way we can control business to our advantage.

Further more, in regard to additional agreements the Ottomans believe that it would be beneficial to all of our great nations to form an alliance. This is simply a suggestion, and if you both agree we can discuss the particulars of said alliance.

This sounds fair. May we forever prosper from this trade!

 

[Stormbringer]

To the Ottoman Empire

The Ottoman Sultan is wise, and we are glad that we are coming to an agreement.

We fully agree with the Ottoman reasoning regarding Azov. It is an Ottoman city after all, and it should be the Ottomans who chose how to handle the trade through it. The Ottoman proposal is more than satisfactory.

We suggest that, given an alliance between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, as both the Knyaz and the Sultan have suggested, Astrakhan become a city similar to Azov. The land will remain Russian while Ottoman traders and people are welcomed there, and in fact in the whole former Khanate of Astrakhan, as our friends.

From The Ottoman Empire

A reply to both of my proposals would be nice.

 

[Kentharu]

ooc sorry sp1023, im not giving you the snub, didn't see your diplo

From the Ottoman Empire
To The Great Knyaz of Russia

The Sultan is very pleased with your suggestion of treating Astrakhan as Azov. It would be fair to do as you describe.

To Persia (forgot ur long title )

The Sultan can only accept a trade agreement at this time.

EDIT- The Sultan withdraws his desire to form a trade agreement with Persia.

 

[Stormbringer]

To the Ottoman Empire

Then we are in agreement! Let us sign the alliance and trade agreement and hope that both our nations prosper in the future.

Soon the Lithuanian Duke should make up his mind as well and then our three great countries can live in peace.

 

[sp1023]

OOC: I understand. Also, since we are rivals and hate each other (I guess), it wouldn't really have been out of character if the Sultan had ignored the Emperors words. But I get you.

Sheep, since the Mughals are banned, should I consider you their spokesperson or pm silver?

 

[Sheep]

PM all banned players their PMs still work and they are still the players for their nations.

MOD ANOUNCEMENT

As I have had this question a few times now about technology levels, technology is at 1530 levels. If you can prove that you had a certain tech in 1530 then you have.

For the American nations they have early blackpowder weapons and are about 50 years behind Europe after a century of Chinese contact. The Africans along the coastline and Songhai also have these weapons and are only scarecely behind Europe. The inland Africans are pre-blackpowder and about 150 years behind Europe.

This should answer any questions about what technology you current possess. Also be aware that when you discover technologies its only a matter of time for that technology to dissemniate to everyone else, and that from time to time a great inventor may invent a technology for a nation or a region.
