So give me Liaoning expansions West, I don't have any other place to expand.

Close, but not quite.

I have no interest in West Africa, and although I would certainly be interested in Indian territories, I suggest we keep those areas open to new RPers, as we had to turn down quite a few.


Well you have got to tell me where you do have an interest in, in(is it only India?) or else you will end up with nothing :p

EDIT: Also, regarding India, I had decided that India would be a place to colonize rather than have another player make it a world power. Later on it can revolt and become its own territory, but as of now, it will remain a place to be colonized.

My only problem is it looks like Nova was given the Red Sea Gate on both sides and pretty much has a good head start in India. Also I know the Levatine Empire the purple nation in the Middle East didn't really have a active player but wouldn't it had expanded a bit into India or anywhere in that direction? Did the Combined Chinese War with Japan end with the conquest of Korea?

These are mainly questions and not complaints.

As far as Nova's capturing of the Sinai goes, I know that it looks like that, but it is hard to make it look like anything else.... you still have the Suez, if you look closely. And yes, I gave him a decent head start in India. Also, I gave him the gate because, well, I knew where he would go immediately after getting his part of Sinai.

The Levantine did expand eastward, taking part of Pakistan as well as Afghanistan. It also took Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and several other countries. (EDIT: I think it moved into these countries.... either way it did expand eastward a good bit..)

The Chinese war ended IC with the taking of Korea....

To be fair I'm going to be my own critic for the Archean Empire I think I wouldn't have expanded that much in North Africa, looks like a big chunk of that land is the the Sahara Desert which at least my personal opinion there's not much value in that land unless you love burning hot heat and sand. After Egypt and the North Africa Coast I would have turned my focus on places like Ethiopia or somewhere a little bit more environment friendly and profitable.

Really? I kinda liked the way that looked. Besides, there are a lot of resources in the Sahara. But if you want me to change it.... I will. It will require me to change some of my own land as well.

If you can name the resources then maybe I won't mind controlling so much of this ((look at picture)). I think it would be costing me more then what I'm earning controlling land like that. I will do some reading on it though I might be wrong or be thinking in a biased way towards the Sahara Desert.

It provides salt, oil, ores, and, ironically, water, as there are many oasis in the desert that provides for good trade through the region. If you remember, I had it in the last RP, and it served me well! :lol:

I looked up valuable resources and noticed water was listed then the thought crossed my mind that I bet it is valuable there. :lol:

My main concern is would my Empire's population and military wise be able to support the size of the Empire based on that map?

Belgium didn't do all that great with the Congo in my personal opinion and Portugal did do great with Brazil I just don't want to have to put down colony revolts and bleed myself dry. Don't worry about changing the map for me it works enough and editing the map will be a pain, did we gain a Mayan/Mexico Player?
