History of Empires (OOC, Always Open)

[Bujahla]

Yeah, I just want Baiyue to be the naval power of the three Chinas. Though I suppose mine isn't one since I'm not Han, but whatever.

[Alleniana]

Game on, gentlemen.

(this is @ Horus as well, since it's an update)

Contemplating expanding again, so I have an excuse to start a hundred-year-war with the south Indian NPC.

Elephant stampedes.

Also, what's your population?

I'm fairly sure most southeast Asian nations would be in a better geographical position to do that, even if you have nice ports, but if you concentrated, you could quickly get on par.

And trade with me. :3

Teal is the current, light purple's the expansions, its big cos we're unifying and assimilating the tribes in to create that force and army which can stand up against Big C. Troop numbers and population remain unchanged for now even from expansion.

Buj you wanna post an IC first ? Then i'll put one up with regards of trade and alliances and stuff

That's very big, but I'll allow it in the spirit of Alexander the Great/Caesar in Gaul/etc. antics, and since you seem to understand what it entails.

@Eintei, that's fine, but did Connori ever mention your name? I'd prefer for him to confirm it was you first.

[Rephesus]

I just realized that I won't have any population growth or resource diversification as Hawaii, this I withdraw my reservation and reserve Tasmania/NZ for a Maori-risqué civ

Population yes, resources generally not. Metal is the most difficult thing to acquire, but beyond that the islands have plenty of wood for building small ships (no large oak trees though unless imported) and trade (they're exotic by many foreign standards). It also has potential for a major whaling and agricultural industry, which is how I got enough metal to field a force large enough to take a more resource-rich area (NZ and Australia).

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. Maybe I'll have the tribe split off around 700 BC and then reunite around 0AD when they find each other?

Yeah I am orange, generally i took the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, and the bottom tip of the Peninsula. I did the peaceful Euro Landings in a previous post, but its neutral white in the first place so yeah.

Alrighty.

[Pandeeria]

Any word on if Horus has his PC working yet?

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

That's what I'm saying, especially if Baltica is about to become a horde of barbarians. But, you know, whatever.

Baltica is about to be conquered by said barbarians.
Also, we have writing, two-field farming, bronze working, iron working, parchment and so on.

Oh, I thought they were going to become barbarians.

Also, when you were talking about civilized Baltica, I thought you were talking about a Roman-esque or Greek-like nation.

Might be too big; I'll go check it against other nation sizes.

Historically, Guangzhou was the largest port city in the region and was the trade hub. But yes, we will compete but be friendly, our first goal is securing not-being-eaten-by-china.

[Horusland]

we already have a person in new zealand.

No, we don't.

Denying expansions: The two players in China that just expanded, and South Africa.
My internet is still not working. It won't work at all. I will probably go back home by Tuesday. Please just hang on.
I can't check nation sizes right now, but these recent three expansions are too big. Seriously. As for the apps, I cannot quote long posts, so this is all on the Co-OPs until I come back. I will have to check the apps when I add them to the map, anyway.

Question: does anyone think switching to a time rate of 20 ypd is bad? I plan to switch as soon as, say, 400 AD.

Aww

I'll be halving the sizes, hopefully it isnt a window for Akasha to just Rofl-Stomp me on the spot

I think that would be good. Maybe slow down again around 1000, 1200? I think 20 y/d could last until then

@Eintei, that's fine, but did Connori ever mention your name? I'd prefer for him to confirm it was you first.

He didn't, although he mentioned that he was allowing Taiwan to go to someone else on Page 155. I saw their conversation though so I can confirm that Eintei is the intended recipient, FWIW. Don't exactly know when Connori will next be online. It won't be extremely long, but it might be a few days.

Well without mine at least it's rather hard to have a war.

Infact, Otvetian women are proven to be more stronger than that of the male Otvetian, and are treated as equals in the army, usually outnumbering men.

Hope its good enough. I've been waiting months for that post.

Yes.

Stay and roleplay somewhere in Ukraine. We need a Kievan Rus-like state.

Or somewhere in Northern Africa or maybe the Central Plains (Kazakh power~). We need a Mongol Empire eventually.

Alright, I'll definitely consider Kievan Rus. Give me some time, I'll probably put up an app.
