Steam & Steel: New Imperialism (OOC/Signups)

[Parhe]

Oh, I was only joking xD

What I meant was, I want to have control over the Pacific, and therefore a bit of those areas.

Lol you already control most the pacific at this point

Actually, he seems to be abit behind Britain, France and Germany since most the islands in the Pacific were claimed by them one way or another prior to his application.

Would it be a problem if I also get the Galápagos Islands? If not, I can include them in my next post. Otherwise I will simply take them over in my next post, but I would prefer the first option.

They weren't even Japanese! Never!
They were part of Ecuador and Ecuador is currently part of the Republic of Colombia (Gran Colombia). Also we two should trade.

Yeah but you never claimed them. Perhaps in a bit of Alt his, the Spanish sold them to us, instead of releasing them in Ecuador. And sure, trade would be nice.

I think Japan claimed them. If not then sure.


One thing though, I just noticed about Alaska. The America player claimed the "US" which would also include Alaska and Hawaii, among other US over seas islands before anyone else claimed them. But then in his app his map excludes Hawaii and other minor islands but still control Alaska. Should Alaska be given to the America player since he claimed it first or be kept with Britain?

The only time Spain could have sold them would have been when Japan was isolationist.

[Vredlandia]

Ohhh, right! I just saw Japan claimed then. Of course I won't take them then

Fair point, perhaps we just took them in the chaos caused by the Latin American revolutions? And the time afterwards?

True. Which Japan, I think you should change your history. If you modernized that late in history you wouldn't really have been able to gather the land in China and Hawaii, and would likely still have problems going back and forth to Japan. If I were you I would change my history to open up a bit earlier.

Japan did not star forming its empire until the late 1800s. Ecuador would have to be a Somalian hellhole to lose it for what would be 60+ years.

[Vredlandia]

Is Japan already accepted? If so, I will include them in my next post.

[Lunas Legion]

I've just noticed I'm a tiny nation in a world of superpowers...

Oh God Marx, what am I going to do? I'll be surprised if I last until the end of the year.

Okay, so how about being discovered by the British, French, Spanish or Dutch before the Latin revolutions? And then doing the same thing, but instead of America it would be Britain/France/Spain/Netherlands, and would be much earlier?

Attacking a neutral nation(well, communist ones don't really count) is usually a casus belli for another nation to attack you. That, and Switzerland is basically one giant castle.

[Vehemia]

Japan, you have to reduce your military numbers. Also, most of the Pacific has been carved up already and most of polynesia belongs to me (Germany) and France. As for Siam, I really don't think you could make a puppet state out of it, but you can RP that it's a close ally. I really think the Galapagos should belong to Colombia.

Alaska should be included in the US because we scrapped the whole British intervention thing. Also, I think him not including Hawaii and the minor islands was probably just a slip up rather than deliberate.

Except I'm surrounded by the Great Anti-Expansion Wall of Austria. I can't do anything without Austria's approval in terms of expansion but at least only Austria can attack me.

So do I give Hawaii to him or leave it as Japanese?

I'm not even Switzerland. I'm two provinces of Switzerlands 12. So about a sixth. Time to run those printing presses, and hope for Communist revolutions in Europe...

Don't worry. Austria would see you as a good possible ally-I offered on the last page if you wanted to be some type of partner. We will even help you to keep you happy, as illogical as that may sound... Our navy is [to a small extent] your navy. of course you'd have to overcome our capitalist-ness.

[Sabara]

The Nederlandse are surrounded by huge Empires... God save us..

[Caltarania]

-snip

My mistake on the military thing, I left a 1 in xD Makes quite a big difference, a massive one actually.

I still have some of Poly and Micro, the big islands that were unclaimed on the map.

God goes by the name Hapsburg now

Germany is friendly, don't worry Prepare for surprise Anschluss
