Antiquity Rises Rampant 2.0! (OOC/Signups/Open)

[Steampunk Mars]

Is it reasonable for the Makakai to try and start the domestication process on American buffalo? I can't really see how it would be much different from aurochs. Both are big, scary, bad-tempered herding creatures with a tendency to stampede.

[Harkback Union]

Well, Steampunk Mars, I don't think that really matters at this point, but go ahead.

Also, a clock tower? That's a bit much for 1300 BC...

Well a 'tower' in the current times' standards could be 12 feet tall.

It isn't much taller than a regular 3 story building in cloqbern.
Remember, The pyramids were built centuries ago.
Also, I tought this was an alternate history RP... Yeah, there weren't clocktowers in 1300 BC BUT That doesn't meant there couldn't have been...

[Equalium]

Sorry for beign inactive. I was sick this week.

[Adurnak]

Sorry for my inactivity too, college work is killing me, will try to post in ic on friday

Actually, it does imply you can't do that.
1. You haven't got a calendar yet
2. You haven't researched any type of metallurgy
3. People haven't really even made this kind of stuff in Europe yet
4. The Pyramids are large STONE PYRAMIDS made to BURY pharaohs. Not gigantic CLOCK TOWERS.
5. YOU'RE A FUCKING NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBE.

On another note, we should speed the game up. I'm itching to get to the Medieval Era, where India starts to become a power.

[Reatra]

I'm going to TG the player below me. I mean I'm starting to dominate my region and he should be my vassal at least.

[Sasutary Island]

I think we should account for population growth, once a province gets overcrowded or cannot provide enough food, the people instinctively migrate to neighboring provinces which are not occupied. Maybe a province is owned automatically for a nation every 3-5 IC pages?

I also think random events should be more fierce on the players now like; "So and So's leader has died a coup has started".

Sas what should we name our Co-Empire?

The Northern Union?

[Dalria]

And thus, The Northern Union was founded

This. Prehistoric/Bronze Age Native Americans were just as smart as Europeans or Asians, but a frecking clock tower? No, there really couldn't have been a clock tower in 1300BCE, particularly not in America. No clockworks. Anywhere. The concept of a clock face didn't exist. The concept of a unit of time smaller than a day barely existed. Historic Native Americans had a particularly fuzzy view of time:-
extreme event-orientation. A clock is as culturally likely as a European Voodoo nation.
Yes, this is an Alt-Hist, and your people don't have to slavishly copy RL. But they do have to be reasonable. Technology and civilisation got a much later start in the Americas. The people are smart, but at this point they have limited metallurgy, no domestic animals to speak of (so everything is human-power), no writing at all, and a technology gap with the Old World of close to 1000 years on average. Be realistic. Please.

On another note, we should speed the game up. I'm itching to get to the Medieval Era, where India starts to become a power.

I'd be in favour of jumping forward to somewhere between 1000 and 500BCE.

Well, it should depnd on the location. Someone in Sweden would barely have and overpopulation. But me, in the Yellow River Valley or the Indus Valley should have it more like two provinces(or one big one) each page.

[The Nation of Hay]

So, everybody's in favor for a temporary speed increase (100 years per page)?

[Reatra]

Yes, I am.

[Sasutary Island]

Yes, I am.

Same Here.

[Dalria]

When shall this jump stop?

[The Nation of Hay]

When shall this jump stop?

~500 BC

What shall be the first thing on the agenda for the Northern Union?

[Sasutary Island]

What shall be the first thing on the agenda for the Northern Union?

1. Joining our two lands via the alps.
2. Claiming southern Imperium (ie. Denmark)
3. Splitting France.
4. Invasion of Southern England.
5. Invasion of Spain.
6. Getting rid of my southern Romans.
7. PAX AQUILO (Northern Peace)

[Dalria]

1. Joining our two lands via the alps.
Should we start clearing land and starting more towns in the Alps?
2. Claiming southern Imperium (ie. Denmark)
We shall discuss this in the wedding.
3. Splitting France.
My troops are about to face a N. Gaul garrison.
4. Invasion of Southern England.
My naval capabilities aren't very good right now, limited to a few long boats.
5. Invasion of Spain.
After France.
6. Getting rid of my southern Romans.
My troops stand ready!
7. PAX AQUILO (Northern Peace)

For an eight option should we add one more nation to our alliance?

Aye, maybe the Belgian?

[Dalria]

Ah, he seems peaceful enough and seems to have a quiet nice navy. The Nordic Pantheon (Himmels main religion) is accepted there, I shall send a diplomat to see if he wants to join.
