SheepNES: The Dragon is Awake: MAIN THREAD

Japan checking in.

So tech wise, since it is 1530 may I assume:

Wheel lock muskets
Carrack/Junk style ocean going ships armed with cast iron cannnon
Ability to navigate across the ocean with reasonable reliability
Contact with all nations in East Asia, Indian sub continent and on the western shores of the Americas
 
I have one last question, and this may make me retract my acceptance of Ming Chinaman land.... I have to spend 1 ic to keep stability where it is, or it will drop.. Does this mean that I have to spend 1 IC in my mainland for the whole of my country, or do I have to spend 1 IC in every single colony to keep their stability at the same level? This is going to be one hell of a chore, if so.


Colonies will require 1IC a turn to upkeep their own stability. This represents the cost of entertainment, fairs or something along that lines that keeps the people happy with your rule.

As for Ming China and Spain mainlands being somewhat the same, the reason for that is that you forget that China has several more tribute states and the largest colonial empire. It also has the largest army and navy by far. The Chinese in mainland China simply just dont have to work so hard as some of their foreign compatriots. (that and it does ensure that China cant just take over the whole damn world, which while it would be fun for you Amon, I dont believe many others would be happy with the nes if that was to occur)

Yes on the first three... On the issue of Contact, you technically have it but Japan is still isolationist in its approaches so hasnt actually physically made contact as yet.
 
@Sheep:

At start: Have all nations made contact with eachother?
And if not, can you plz list all possible contacts for each nation.

No not everyone has contact, after all its unlikely a landlocked German duchy would be contacting New Zealand for example. Just use your best judgement when it comes to this, I will let you know if it is too unrealisitc to let pass.

@Chruchill, you may provided it hasnt been reserved by someone else.
 
Raj of Vijayanagara: Isn't this a bit too strong? It's stronger than the Persians, for crying out loud! And yet it's like 5x smaller!
 
"To train your army up a level pay the amount equal to your total maintanence fee plus 15IC... For example a nation that is paying 3IC/turn maintainence would pay 8IC to upgrade training levels."

If you have to pay maintenance+15 bucks to increase training, how would a 3IC/turn be upgraded with 8IC? Better yet, since jack isn't bankable in this NES, how is any small country going to increase it's training?

Yes it should read that it would cost 18IC to upgrade the training, I will have to edit that typo... Sorry all for this one.

Oh and banking is allowed for that very reason Amon.... the smaller nations are just going to struggle to upgrade their training otherwise. If it says in the rules that they cant be banked, then once again please accept my apologies on that, I will edit it.
 
To Poland-Lithuania and Ottoman Empire

The Great Knyaz of All Russians Ivan IV believes that the rulers of Russia, Poland-Lithuania, and the Ottoman Empire must decide together on the fate of the lands that now belong to the failing Golden Horde.

Many lands that have for ages been Russian and many cities that the hardworking Russian people have built have been for too long the property of the Tatar-Mongols and it is time for the last of the Mongol states to cease its existence.

It is best, however, that instead of fighting over the pelt of the bear before killing it, we work together to slay the beast, and I am sure we will all receive what we wish for in the end.

-Great Knyaz of All Russians, Ivan

So that people notice it
 
True.... For any further rules based questions I am going to ask you to post those questions on the old Sign Up thread and claims. This thread is for stories and diplomacy.... and the nes has started, you have just over 6 days before the first deadline for update.

Any glaring issues will be addressed at the updates.
 
Yes! Yes! All your Skullz belong to us. Maori Confederation signing in.
 
I would like to say to all of you well done thus far!

Out of the 31 original reservations that were carried over from the sign up thread only 7 have yet to be confirmed and claimed for. This is in a period of 19 hours.... Great work to all! Not to mention there has been another 2 sign ups as well.

Remember you still have a little over 3 days to finalise those claims and a little over 6 days to get diplomacy and your first turn orders in.

Thanks once again for all who have made a prompt reply and claim on this thread, this promptness will help me help you in the nes.
