Do you think we could have an agreement? You stay out of anything North of Taiwan unless I get it first and I don't stray into South-East Asia unless you say okay?

I think doing this ICly would be a lot more appropriate.

by **Reatra** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 9:25 pm

Yeah, we're meeting now, just so we guideline the deal beforehand, you know?

Yeah, sounds good.

I'm pretty sure Sebt posted. It's been a while though :/

Damn, I missed the map update. Can I please have more land south of the Danube and then some provinces on the east of the black sea? ( especially seeing as I cant go anywhere with Asia minor or land in Africa which already posted)
EDIT: In fact; if neo-phoenecian guy doesn't post in the next 7-ish hours I'll just take his African land and then officially declare war and invade Macedonia

Your turn.

And, not sure if you noticed, but I put a colony on the tip of southern India in my post on page 5.

United Martians, are you actually thinking about colonizing the Pacific? Rudders and other things should be invented before you can even VENTURE into the ocean.

I think he already has explorers in america.
I don't mind... It is possible to cross the Ocean on small boats.
You just have to be lucky...

Not past Hawaii you can't.

Well, fine... Than they probably have a bit larger ships.

It still makes no sense and is most likely impossible...

Yes, the CHINESE in 1500 couldn't do it without very special preparations. The Polynesians took millennia just to get to Easter Island!

Honestly, he shouldn't just be exploring in so many directions "just cuz", he already is spread out, his territory in Vietnam in across the sea!

by **Reatra** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 9:42 am

And this is my new territory at the start of the iron age. The big gains in the North are mainly colonization-style all you do is claim it and it's yours. Or some assimilated barbarians.

Meh... somebody sign up as Japan! I want someone to come over here already...

This too, is indeed nearly impossible. You realize a lot of that land is either inhospitable (With the age's farming techniques) or populated with extremely hostile warlords right?

by **Reatra** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 9:44 am

I think my friend wanted to. He's only active on the weekends though, and before it even comes up, no, he's not my satellite.

Inhospitable?!
And who put the warlords there?

Yeah. Most of that territory is what is called Steppe or Plains, with few, if any (major) rivers running through it. That means that the farming techniques used at this time, which relied solely on irrigation from local freshwater, would be unusable here.

And I'm just assuming that there are people where our nations aren't. It would be ludicrous otherwise. Those that lived there were a mix of Mongols, Jurchens, and Kirghiz, all extremely hostile horse warlords who lived as nomads and raided/ate horse meat their entire lives.

Yes, and I know what happened when China took over the Steppes IRL, but if somehow I can control them for awhile they might turn Chinese. Plus the only development of the land would be mines, barely any occupation.

Then wouldn't the Mongols just take it back? I can't believe that you can just waltz in there and take it no problem.
