Doesn't have my expansions. I now own the two southern provinces of Illinois state and the eastern segment of Missouri state.
Like this

And to reiterate my question from the top of theprevious page: Is there any reason I can't try and start the domestication process on American buffalo?

I see no reason why not

Wunderbar.

How long is it reasonable for the domestication process to take? I'm thinking at least a couple or three hundred years of corralled animals and semi-domestic before they can be considered remotely domesticated. I'd better get my post in before it becomes 1200BCE, but I have to go to work now.

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...

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.

1. Than what?
2. Than what?
3. Than what?
4. The pyramids are 2 times as tall as the leaning tower of Pisa, which is about as high as my tower. Also, The Pyramids took much more resources and engineering skill to build.
5. No, we are not a tribe. We are cultured city states.

Anyway, I'm going to time travel now.
See you in 800 BC

i COULD technically invent the crossbow now....... as there is evidence it existed in 2000 BCE.... But I'll just say it's been around for a while but never got popular.

I think that as long as you're settled with farms and stuff and can capture and hold them in a specific area, it might take less than that. Cows only live for 15 years so as long as you breed carefully, maybe 150 years?

Just got a NovaPad as a gift for my brithday
Could I have the rest of the Black Sea to?

[Equalium]

Okay time for some more Belgium Empire-ness! Femke II is gonna expand more.

[Equalium]

I can't claim right now, HOWEVER, can I have claim the rest of the lands of Galicia Belgica?

in Dark Red.

I TGed Sebt and he said that I can take his country. Yay! Vassalization here I come!

4. The thing is- This RP hasn't even progressed to the late Iron age. Think logically- even if you had an upper edge on technology compared to the Native Americans we know, you shouldn't be too far ahead of the developed European and Asian states. Having a clock tower? The amount of time it would take for them to engineer such a thing, would take hundreds, if not thousands, of years. All we're implying is not to take the Alternate History thing out of hand.

1. No, what you said doesn't fit into context. The harkback do not have a calendar (yet)... and how does that prevent them from building a clocktower?
2. No metallurgy?... how does that prevent anyone from building a clocktower?
3. "People haven't really even made this kind of stuff in Europe yet." So what? How does that prevent anyone from building a clocktower?
4. You don't need to much technology to build a tower and put a man-operated clock in it. Even a simple tribe could do that. Just because they didn't doesn't mean they couldn't have. And If we built a pyramid which is twice the size and many times more difficult to build? Would you approve that, simply because... there were pyramids back than? I have gone into great detail to explain IC-ly what's going on... Our people are building monuments for the spirits they worship. The Egyptians built the pyramids to serve as a burial place for their living gods... Or to signal aliens or whatever... Well, we built a clocktower so that our people can always "worship" the spirit of time...

Besides, some of you guys have empires with twice the land than what the biggest empires had at this time.

This. Do you see Belgica with Nuclear Weapons made of rocks or tanks made of stone?

No. Belgicans have Gaulic technology.

Warriors is right for the wrong reasons. There is no way that natives could ever mine iron, especially not in this age. Hell, yes you do need some damn impressive technology to build a clock tower, the Europeans couldn't do it until the fourteenth century A.D, and the Muslims could never do it. And they were ten, if not a hundred times more advanced than the natives. A tower needs an impressive amount of architectural design to go into it, especially the one that you have illustrated, to make sure that it doesn't topple over upon itself. The closest thing to clock towers in our time period were pyramids with sundials at the top, because the pyramids were the msot stable structure on earth and one of the easiest to build. *gasp* Furthermore, you'd need serious materials to build such a complicated design, which would constitute much more than whatever materials you have now. Despite me assuming you'd have stone bricks, which the natives never had, you'd still need something to hold them together, such as cement, which was first used by the Egyptians in the third millennium, but, here's the catch - it was made of sand, lime, and gravel, none of which the natives readily had access to, unless you're in Arizona or other places in the great basin, but even then, you'd still need serious mining to get the limestone, which is a no-no for natives anyway.

Still, I'm probably not looking at buffalry (bisonry? - I mean buffalo-riding warriors) for several hundred years, and maybe not until the turn of the calendar. This is OK.

[Equalium]

Okay, heres Belgica's New borders:



The ones near Liechtenstein are unsettled. They're apart of Femke II's conquests.

I might lay a settlement in Vaduz tho.

The pathway along the way who knows what will happen.

And that white space near maron...

Alas, it appears G-Tech has forsaken us

Also, we're going to be doing 100 years per page until around 500 BC. Somebody make a current map please

Here you go. If I've missed anything, let me know. I'm a bit isolated and only barely keeping an eye on the Old World.

So, what year is it?
Also, bigger European empires can start existing at 500 BC, right? As in, we can start expanding faster?

It's... 1250BC (I think)

Also, people are already expanding pretty quickly.

[Steampunk Mars]

You're welcome. Do we have to post our expansions like last time, with a one-territory-per-post limit? That's what I've been doing, but if v2.0 has a different rule, I'll adapt to it.

I think it's still 1300BCE.

There's no limit for how much land you can claim per post, but be reasonable.

The dark grey is no longer in the Balt, but in the Alps. We're migrating.

Reasonable is what I'm aiming for. The North American territories are quite a bit bigger than the European ones, and we don't have transport animals (yet). That ought to slow down expansion.
