Just saw this. So, does anyone from these 4 Co-Ops know if I can sign up as an American colony or not? Or if the 4 apps that I didn't see a response to are accepted, so I can see if there is any good space remaining in Europe? Because the last good land was claimed by two people at the same time.

Thanks.

There are quite a lot of land in Europe left however US isn't open yet (Muscovy, Sweden comes to mind): just look at the list on first page and to my knowledge most of NPC are open . It will be in next century (RP time). I am not entirely certain about the apps, I will look back at it.

Thanks. I looked again at the list of nations. Excepting the four nations in a row (Sweden, Finland, Romania, Bulgaria) that it lists as NPCS, but which actually have already been claimed, there are some German States, Muscovy, Tunis, and Corsica left.
Not that those are strategically bad, but I have no idea about their history. I'll wait for the Americas.
What year is it exactly?

Yes, but we are at high activity with wars and stuff which need detail. After that, maybe Garwall will consider timeskip.

You should finish the app before applying.

Some points:
- you can only have one National Idea at the beginning
- there weren't parliaments at the time
- "Germanic" as a culture is pretty damn vague
- Backstory could be more detailed

Oh my god. No. No. No. You cannot apply for any locked regions. No exceptions, at all. If its locked, better get to it first when it becomes unlocked. Simple as that. He is just hanging around for that reason.

''Join you'' means that you are there and I come after you. That can either mean that you are in there with your country, or that you posted the idea of the opening of the Americas before me. But I started the discussion about America, I remember you posting a page after that. So, with the second option elliminated, the first one remained. Thus, my initial question.

All in all busy busy weekend.

The KoG are in seas between Britain and Ireland? I tried to look up Saint Peter's, but there are billions of them on map.

Also, how did a burning sulphur ship do minor damage on port which at this time would be built from wood? Wood and thatch are highly flammable, as soon as the boat touches a wood, everything near it will go in flames. Fire fighting techniques in middle ages was crap, especially when dealing with wide scale fires. The medieval street plan also sucked when it came to fires. Especially, when you consider there would be ships in port carrying sulphur and other flammable materials from trade.
Also, this happened after midnight, most port authorities would be sleeping since you have banned evening trading.


No, they commenced an attack on the Eastern side of Britannia, by York. Saint Peter's is the name of the citadel that is being constructed in the Azores where the Knights are being housed.

Well, I was confused over what your post meant. I mean I saw that you set a bag of sulfur on fire, and put it on a piece of wood. I didn't think you put it on your ship since, well, you had to leave on your ship. The way I read it is that you put a plank with some sulfur on it in the port. As for port authorities, after your guy was caught I stated in my post that one of the men were sent back to base to sound the alarm. If there had been an attack then they would have mobilized pretty much everyone. I thought that was pretty clearly stated . . .

Looking much better there.

As for your population, I really have no clue. I tried looking for a 15th century Croatia's population, but no joy.

For a monarchy, I'd suggest some sort of levy army. Mercenaries would be a bad idea with your economy.
Are you sure you have amber as a primary import? Frankly, it's not that widely used.

I can drop amber; but furs, textiles and possibly wine as an import, given that wine was drunk more frequently than water by wealthier people in that time period.
I'll go with the levy army.

Thank you for your help, I hope this can go well.

I have multiple puppets here; only a select few are used to represent the continent of Astholm; others used represent Westholme, and do not artificially boost my nation's statistics.Previously i used puppets with nation names that did not identify as Astholm (e.g. Australis Australia; now all new puppets use ASTHLM, NORTHLM, SOUTHLM, WESTHLM (HLM denoting The Holmes.
NOTE: Other uses of Astholm here have a different continuity and refer to work created by the user Astholm, not the nation
