Age of Glory, 1504 Alternate History RP, OOC/Signups

[Conchabira]

England i don't know who's side I'm joining but i can spare nearly 80,000 soldiers. But it does matter who's gonna give me the best deal for my army equipped with the largest cannon in Europe.

[Texcoco]

Oh, the Pirates I hired to attack colonies and ships in the West Indies probably arrived by now (I'll, of course, make an IC post). Anyone interested in a naval battle there between your merchants and the pirate fleet, or a raid on a colony? England, perhaps? It could be fun .

I suppose those Pirates won't be targeting natives, given the specified goal of attacking colonies?

Nopes. Their goal is to disrupt the construction of colonies and trade lines between colonies and Europe.

[Cin Neogh]

Wouldnt the pirates go for native towns if they thought there might be something worth taking in it?

Could be. I think it's unlikely they'd go for Mayan or Inca villages, though. They'd be more likely to hang around the colonies they're supposed to plunder, so perhaps some island natives could be on the victim list .

Some of the goods your pirates will steal might bring unto them the Black Death. The OP's unleashed it on me and I have trade lanes all the way from the Great Lakes, to the Amazon, the Inca, to San Fransisco, trade all through the Caribbean. Enjoy

That would be rather interesting ..

[Texcoco]

And there's a post. Sorry about the machinations in this post, considering Smallpox wiped out 1/2 the populace and now here comes another disease, despite such great offerings to the gods, Nezahualpilli isn't in the most compassionate mood. He's also probably starting to hate Foreigners, though he hides it well. After all the whole backstory to his rise was about machinations, political intrigue and the like. He's a good man that wished he would have been passed that, but then the events give me another Plague. LOL

[Aercos]

OPs, could you tell me if the plague actually reached the Inca Empire? I am unable to find any events post that states so (and I do believe that by the time it reached the Aztecs the trade routes were not established already).

[The Alterran Empire]

Many questions, I see, most of them regard the question why I "hate" Norway and England .

About England: it's quite plain and simple. The Dutch have a healthy respect for the English, but they are my fiercest trade rivals and rivals for naval superiority historically. This combined with their expansion into Ireland short ago and their subsequent excommunication, has lead the Dutch to distrust the English. I'm awfully sorry, but the 16th century was not a time of peace and European-wide cooperation: it was a time of rapidly changing alliances, intrigues, backstabbing, short-lived wars and a lot of jealousy. The latter is the most important reason for the Dutch to dislike the English. Next to that, my OP mentions me allying with France (I'll try to conclude this ICly quickly) and France and English plainly hated each others guts in the 16th century.

Regarding Norway: they were too friendly with the English throughout this RP for the Dutch liking and they were quite keen to depart from the Catholic church during the English excommunication. This has lead the Dutch to believe that they are, in fact, heathens wishing to bring the Roman Catholic church down. Also, the Netherlands is trying to colonize Spitsbergen for whaling purposes, which is likely to be ill-received by the Norwegians . BTW, Norway, I don't quite understand why you're still using longboats and vikings. They are 10th - 11th century tech.

Oh, and I'm not selling my cannons at this point. Perhaps to very good allies, but they provide me a naval advantage I'm not willing to give up. I'll respond in IC asap, am rather busy at the moment.

I'm glad to hear that you're open to working on the relations between France and the Netherlands. For IC and historical reasons, France has a great deal of hatred for England, even though we've emerged victorious from the 100 year war, we do still carry a great deal of tension. All IC, all very strategic to further France's goals.

The plague didn't hit hard till after the trade routes were established, it would have made it's way up by now.

[Reatra]

I am going to explore and make trade routes with the Swahili. And explore Alaska.

Your posts are kind of absurd, you're breaking a lot of the rules of the RP... The OP's really need to pay more attention to your posts. I was just ignoring it, but now that we have a player in Japan I can't really look past a lot of the claims. There's a 3 month per day time frame, yet in your recent post you've jumped 2 years in a single post. You claimed to have bought off Shri Lanka, (I had to RP out with the OP just to trade with the Moors and am still waiting for his reply to a gift and request). You've also RP'd out the surrender of an entire nation... All of this in ONE post, while claiming many other smaller things. Like dominating the seas around Korea and Japan, I think that would be news to the Japanese RPer.
Previously you've claimed to have conquered the Mongols, which the OP scoffed at when you told him to update his map to show it....

I tend to agree with this.

I tend to agree with this.

I tend to agree with this too, stick to what the OP says and to what everyone has been following, for the sake of everyone enjoying this.

I'll add my voice to the chorus.

Reatra, you need to slow down your pace if you want any of the rest of the players to give you any credibility in your posts. You can't lay claim to two years of RP in a single post, that's just a bit much. The rest of us (at least from what I can tell) have been going on the 1 IRL day = 3 months in RP.

[Pharland]

I came up with a strategy to defeat the Scots but I'd still rather know what Scotland's goal for in this war. Because I'd sign a treaty ASAP.

[Alouite]

Update, both OOC and IC.

[Texcoco]

Update, both OOC and IC.

You should check Reatra's(China) IC post... In fact you should check them all. It used to be ignorable, but now that we have a Japan player it needs to be looked into (See above)

[Texcoco]

As for me, made my post about dealing with the Plague. Burning the Infected as sacrifice, burning some of their possessions, sending others (probably carrying the plague) back to Europeans via Trade. Also made political and military reforms, and have opened trade with the Cherokee RPer.

Reatra's last few post's are to be ignored unless he edits them, the Chinese are no longer allowed to colonize anything not directly on the border and we feel resistance of the locals each time.

Is this including his claim of having conquered the Mongols?

[The High Guardians]

I find this completely agreeable. You aren't in a position to negotiate

Yes, the Manchu are independent.

Whoever is playing spain, there is no Granada, Morocco controls the south of Iberia.
