Love the idea of the greek one, I've been dying to RP the greeks after I read up on their war tactics.
As for the Renaissance, I call playing as the person Ezio Auditore da Firenze :twisted:

Nah, son. Britain was all like "yo, why my colonies be all uppity an' shit?!" And Lord Durham laid it straight: "they be wantin' legislation with representation, dawg."

I'd love that.
AH, PMT, some FT.


Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate idealistic egalitarian with many strong convictions.

I like it, but what about the 1870 thread.

Yes, and if that ever gets back on it's feet it'll take priority. I'm just saying that this one was really fun, and should be remembered in case 1870 dies again.

Personally I prefer maps with borders, but I don't really care. Whatever people want is fine by me. I'll probably make the OOC some point tonight.

I was planning on being Athens, but I'll be Corinth instead :)

I can be mapmaker if you wish, though I'm on mobile now I should also really get back to that ancient Mediterranean rp planned.

That map's really big though. I think if it were that big people would want to play as non-greek civs (other than Persia), and I'd rather keep it just to the Greeks (and Persia).

The Greeks dominated everything shown in the map; they settled the Crimea, Cyprus, Provence, most of southern Italy, parts of northern Africa, even Egypt and Rome were goals in sight for them.

Yes, but a map this size would also tempt, and allow, players to expand too much. It would also take a lot of the focus off of the Peloponnesian War. And it would make Persia all that much more powerful, and add another overly-powerful nation: Egypt.

I believe Egypt was a Persian vassal by then. Though I'd agree with keeping the focus on Greece and surroundings, as much as I'd love to play as the Scythian-Greeks and neighbours.
