I've been thinking about this for a while. I've had a really busy schedule lately, and other projects have been taking up most of my time. This really prevents me from doing the update and stats in a timely fashion that keeps the game going at a fast pace. Obviously 2 month waits for an update are not good.
So, I'm going to put TNES on an extended hiatus. I might restart it at a later date with a new ruleset, or fast-forward 200 years. So, without further ado, the awards.
---
Best Warmonger: The Golden Horde. The massacre of Tver, invasion of Sweden's Baltic territories, wars with Galicia, and massive invasion of Germany put the Golden Horde in a constant state of conflict.
---
Best Peacemongers: Tuscany. This small Italian Kingdom focused on improving culture, infrastructure, and education while simultaneously keeping a small but modernized army and navy. Their good management of resources and strong alliance with Austria has put the Dual Kingdom in an excellent position for the future.
Hadramaut. Despite a war against Egypt, the new Arabian Empire is primarily a nation based on trade and peaceful alliance with Zanzibar.
---
Greatest Comeback: The Norse Empire. This powerful nation was slowly stagnating, but Perfectionist's efforts resulted in the annexation of Sweden, the defeat of the Golden Horde, and increased internal stability.
---
Most Stable: Galicia. They have a strong army, stronger alliances, and a patriotic, relatively loyal population.
---
Best Expansion: Bavaria. Annexing two nations, and large chunks of two others, briefly made them the hegemon of Germany.
Austria. Though partially due to luck, their clever dual backstabbing of Bavaria and Rome helped rebuild an impressive empire.
---
Most Creative: The Free Nation of Avalon. A hardy, diverse colonial state of Anglo-Norse, Germans, and Italians shows great promise for the future.
---
Best Economy: Min China showed promising growth in the armaments industry, and their agricultural output was boosted by the pacification of the Feliben Islands. A growing trade with Malayu and India has also enriched Min ports.
Genoa. Needless to say, Genoan merchants gained a near-monopoly on goods from the Orient.
Zanzibar. Same here. Also add a strong monetary policy and efficient, centralized government.
---
Most Perseverance: Muwahhidun Egypt. How it managed to survive a war with Byzantium, Persia, Zanzibar, Adal and Hadramaut is a mystery to me.
---
Lothringen earns a
Lothringen Award for surviving, and preserving its Franco-German culture despite many challenges.
---
Best Orders: Insane Panda, Cuivienen, Perfectionist
Best Planning: LittleBoots
Luckiest: Azale
---
Winner:
Social Victory: The Empire of Christian Spain. No nation has a higher morale or more patriotic population. Quality of life is currently high, thanks to a massive influx of gold and silver from Avalon. The relocation of the Papacy has also made Spain a stronghold of fervent Catholicism
Economic Victory: The Republic of Genoa. Despite the utter destruction of their capital, the Genoans built an elaborate trade network stretching from Crimea to the Alkaribi to South Avalon, Africa, and Asia. They are by far the wealthiest nation on earth.
Military Victory: The Roman Empire. The resurgence of Constantinople was marked by the largest army growth in the Enlightenment, and the armies of the Emperors (and Empress) would land crushing defeats on Muwahhidun Egypt, the Golden Horde, Austria, and the Papal States.
Minor Victories:
Greatest African Power: Zanzibar
Greatest Asian Power: Min China
Greatest Avalonian Power: Empire of Christian Spain
Greatest Australian Power: Zanzibar
