Azerbaijan is represented by Persia, Tunisia is represented by Carthage, All of Scandinavia is represented by Vikings, Ireland is represented as the British Isles, Arabs are everywhere on the Middle East that's why i colored them Orange and Turkey is represented by the Ottoman Empire.
Your double standards greatly annoy and confuse me. Azerbaijan may have been part of Persia, but it was also part of many other empire, most recently Russia. You cannot cover up stupid mistakes with that. Why have you used a modern map with modern boundries? It makes no sense. Portugal, now represented, quite right. Germany and Russia over the last 200 years have covered most of Eastern Europe with the rest being under the Hapsburgs control, so I don't get the whole baltic states being unhighlighted if Azerbaijan being so. Belgium was part of Netherlands for a very long time, and at other points under the Holy Roman Empire, Franks & France. I actually think the biggest hole is where Austria should be as complete overlord of the Balkans, though the Ottomans and Byzantians can cover this well as well. Also ALL of North Africa by Carthage, if they were just Tunisia they would be laughed out of History like Belgium.
No Poland, no, no, no, are you high, no, no, no, no & shut the hell up. I had enough of this Poland discussion, winge somewhere else about it, not great enough, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the best they ever where I that wasn't that great anyhow.
A forth Austrian, really. I'm a quarter Irish and I have no idea about the place. But I'm quite firm in my belief that my Irish blood gives me the knowladge aswell.
C'mon, the Germans kicked the ALP out of the Polish, and I'm 6'3 95kgs and can run the 100 m in 12.5 seconds, I'll take those poles on!
Yes, Gallipoli. Winston Churchills greatest plan ever. British, French and the glorious ANZACs'. The french brough more wine than people, the British landed and wasted time with a tea break and the ANZACs' were greeted with Machinegun nests with angry turks in them. It failed horribly and we never made it to Constantanople. But because of how awesome us Australians' where we made a water and bucket mecanism to make our guns fire that we left there to cover up our escape. Gallipoli was a difining moment, but we still are not big enough to become a civ, better than Poland however.
Oh, anything else. That's right. Every game we still fear Hitler too much to put him in, we show he still wins.
Although we do have historical ties of course. The ideas of ancient civilizatiosn/empires being represented by modern nation-states is quite rediculous by the way, because in most cases the historic links have become very small. E,g, The name of my own country refers to the "Belgae", a Gallic tribe who lived in the North of France and the Low Countries around the time of Julius Caesar. So they were a Celtic tribe. But at the end of the Western Roman Empire, they were invaded by the Franks, a Germanic tribe, and the Dutch Language is a decendant of West-Frankish.
the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was an extremely powerful union, which made the Polish VERY powerful. They had the largest army in the world. The problem was that even though Poland was incredibly strong, it was surrounded by uncooperative countries. Their diplomatic stance with Prussia, Austria and Russia was poor - very poor - and that was actually the reason why they did lose so much land over the times. They was surrounded by enemies. Initially, Poland could beat the heck out of all the countries - even Austria (This is about 1500 or something...)
