History of Man III (OOC, Always Open)

[Aldelxane]

A map of a few of the ideas I've had:

Yeah, like Buj mentioned earlier, anything in Greece/Turkey will probably get attacked relatively quickly.

Hmmm.... WHY AM I STILL RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS!
I think I'll just decide based on terrain....

[Alleniana]

I'm reserving central Mesopotamia as my starting territory, and no more. All these plans won't last 5 days in the IC. Reserve a starting position and no more, or else it'll jsut turn into a landgrab slugfest like it did here.

Agreed. Man I need to think of something and quick xD.

[The Orson Empire]

I am reserving Italy as a starting position.

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

I'm reserving Latvia and Lithuania as a starting point

[The Polarian Empire]

Reserving Northern tip of Brittany

[Fortunagen]

I'm planning on playing a group of pastorial nomads originating in Germany that will travel around Europa settling and trading and leaving bits and pieces behind before sailing west out of Spain, only to wither and die, incredibly naive to the weakness of their technology.

After this I shall play the remnants residing in the various player countries, each doing everything in their power to gain power. Once this happens an empire will emerge, only to wither and die, not entirely dissimilar from it's forerunner.

Isn't this godmodding, seeing as you are basically taking control of all of Europe?

[Vredlandia]

I'd reserve some place in the Czech Republic

No, he's just having nomads pass through nations shall they allow it. At this time, you really couldn't stop it. It would be like the Romani.

And I guess I reserve palestine for my starting area.

EDIT: Maybe I should have people from Africa migrate up. Get enslaved by Egypt or whatever, and then go to Palestine?

I'm not letting them pass through my borders without them being questioned by the border security.

[Aldelxane]

Reserved Northern Tunisia as my starting place.

*face palm* There wouldn't be any border security in the ancient/classical era. Besides that, there really are no borders. Here's an accurate map from that time period. Not like how we have it with provinces. Borders were based on control of regions, not actual borders with people watching them....

I know this, but I will still have outposts along my borders that are in charge of patrolling them, should my nation be invaded.

So you are going to just close of your borders from people moving in and out of them? These people would be like the romani. They wouldn't all travel together in some massive horde. It'd be like small family groups passing through. Also, it's easier to have guards at villages that then report if something happen to the village, rather than at your border.

[The JVP]

I might be located in Korea, Taiwan, Brittany or Corsica.

If a Restart is happening then I reserve Korea

There would also be soldiers at the villages.

I guess I can let them through for now, even though I'm not too fond about it. However, I am eventually planning to build a wall on my borders, similar to what the RL Roman Empire did.

[Aldelxane]

Essentially I plan to start in Northern Tunisia and then conquer Morocco and the Northern Algeria.

[Redemption-America]

Official on a restart, then?

Probably should determine how much we're allowed to claim, then. Obviously I'll start with Constantinople, but how much of the surrounding area would be determined by initial claims limits.

Also for the heck of it I threw a map together for the current IC situation, and assuming we're stopping, this should be the last map. Probably has some mistakes, though.

[Equalium]

I would indeed love restart. I call dibs on Belgium and stretch towards the former areas of Belgica.

Also, Ukraine doesn't own its West Africa anymore. It split up into Mali, Togo, Benin and Ghana. Mali stretches down towards the Ghana territories n such.

[Aldelxane]

I will attempt a map of all of the starting locations for the restart.

[The Orson Empire]

I am planning on expanding into France and Spain, as well as expanding into Africa. I then want to go north towards Germany.

And the "I'm better than you" begins..

[Vredlandia]

I'll be happy if I can stay with my core territories and expand a little next to that, though I don't expect too much.

Regarding the Nomads they'd be welcome in my nation, but probably a little disliked if they speak a strange language.

What do you mean?
