Antiquity Rises Rampant DEAD.

Your trading ships go course. Byzantium is a great trading city and you are growing rich off of the sales

Ah, okay. I mentioned my trading caravan coming overland and you didn't respond, so I assumed you weren't interested in trade, but that's cool if that's how you want to work it. So we're just trading at a steady level?

Yep

Fair enough. I should note, though, that in general terms Ameralite merchants are bound by the charters of their polises to only trade strategically valuable goods to friendly powers, or suffer the revocation of their trade privileges. While I don't mind you having what you stated now, any future sales will have to be made directly, instead of indirectly, as I'm not certain Byzantium can be classed as a friendly power by any of the city-states at the current date.

Really? My traders can trade whatever they want as long as it is legal wherever they want so my goods would be all over the world.

As can mine. The definition of legal is only slightly varied, primarily related to tin bars and ores, copper bars and ores, iron bars and ores, the technology to manufacture the former, and products of the former. Everything else from slaves to opiates is purely movable by any person who wishes to do as much as trade it. Every polis but Larna has those rules, because though profit is paramount, the desire not to be hosted by one's own petard is rather strong.

So who here has slaves ?

So who here has slaves ?

All the polises of the Ameralite dominions have slaves, in the form of those who are working off their debt to either other Ameralites or the state.

So who here has slaves ?

I have slaves. Government-owned slaves are mostly POWs and people who can't pay their debts to the government. Privately-owned slaves are usually owned by wealthy people who purchased them.

Wait did you take over that country in Iberia? ?

Why aren't I on this map?

[DrakoBlaria]

Drako, I have posted my invasion force ready. Just ready your army and we will conquer.

Unless I miss my guess, Drako's army should be invading right alongside you.

Out of curiosity, where are you getting your tin and iron armor from?

I guess that's how we should RP it. Since there might be a time difference I'll allow Byzantium to RP my troops to in the battle.

So, guys, how many men should I have? Keep in mind that all men are trained to fight and all have to go to war if needed. Also I hired some mercs. And there is the constant warmongering...

[The Magnified Union of Aligned Communes]

Why aren't I on this map?

G-Tech's colony map. Perhaps Drako's main map, and more specific player maps could all be added to the first post? I've a feeling I might upload my own maps too, when the Shang/Zhou start falling apart.

Also, I'll be posting later; but I assume it'll be alright with you if I RP Shang explorers quietly going aboard Heliulian merchant vessels?

No, only my map shall be in, otherwise I will have to make minor edits on 5 different maps...

[*]RANDOM EVENTS[*]
The Normans will be prevented from crossing the strait due to bad weather. That is if they choose to cross it.

A bountiful harvest can be yielded in the fertile crescent.

Harsh winter may prevent other people from invading the Scots or the Scandinavians.

OOC: Your bronze age boats will not survive the damn crossing.

On the Contrary, a reed boat could cross the atlantic, it was called the Ra 2 built in 1949

OOC: DO NOT CONSUME PRECIOUS IC Space! Also, why would you know how to build like the Aegyptians?
DELETE YOUR TWO posts IN THE IC YOU'RE ADVANCING THE DAMN TIME!

I'm not saying that we built papyrus boats, im saying that we had Better building materials than papyrus and we can cross 20+ km of ocean if a reed boat could sail to america

The Ra II is not a damn raft, it's an actual intricate ship built by the most advanced people of the time. You? Well, you are some upstart "barbarian" that could stick wood together and find out that it floats. Also, most of your "ships" are more accustomed to rivers than seas.

You are about 1199 years ahead of time to think that the barbarians can do that, most of their ships are supposed to be used in rivers.

Manannan ordered a party of six men in three boats to sail into Ulster, and sail back to report their findings. He was afraid that the boats may fail.

Then what about him eh? He doesn't have papyrus, is a barbarian,like most of us, and crossing a channel. Why don't you say that his boats will sink as soon as they are set adrift?

It's not about papyrus, it's about you knowing how to build shit that can cross the damn channel. Also, crossing from Galloway is easier than your closest territory to the British isles.
After a few tries and a few sinking ships you should know what to build.
