History of Empires (OOC, Always Open)

[Cerelia]

Equal, your in Hungary, right? Maybe we can set up a trade route?

Sure, but that might take long. Concidering you need to past Tyv in Ukraine, then past the North Caucasian area then ye.

but it depends on what nation you are talking about. I have two. But yes, I am in Hungary. Otveta.

In my next post I'm about to start some merchant caravans. If you want to get in on the economic action, be my guest.

Polar, you can't be a Siev person. Basically because Toraganism is prominent in the West. Your gonna face alot of trouble with Toraganists if you are a Siev follower. Because basically: Siev is namely eastern and central Europe, and Toraganism is Western and Southwestern Europe.

Look at Ethiopia.

Missionaries.

@Dangelia, Looks fine-ish except large navy, try to avoid RL names, and I'm not sure if that is claimed. I gotta go now.

[Relikai]

@Polarian, you're expanding into Silverian/Relikan Territory

It isn't claimed, most of the Balkans are open, including there. But yeah, fix up everything that is listed above and it should be good to go, Dangelia.

Ha ha, Sievietism shall be the Christianity analogue, just as I planned. I'm waiting for the Second Crusade to wipe out Toraganism...

Times are in GMT+8, now's 4th May so...


After having a foothold in South Italy, begins to push from North and South, as well as make a naval landing after a hard fought battle in which I lost 30% of my current Navy.

With dominance of the Seas, the Cavalry Corp is brought over to Italy, where the 10,000 horsemen would run riot of Necronian lands and rush around for the next 25 years...

Another landing is made, and the two fronts are slowly pushing in onto the Capital.

And Finally After 300 YEARS, Kilgrate's finally ending the Northern Menace.

Posting in the IC till 75AD/100AD soon. Need to get this accepted first.

And do I need to post a nation update? Wont be as *detailed* as Relikai (player) but i'll do my best

That's... a bit much too fast, if you ask me. Considering your current size, this has pretty much made a major empire between North Africa and Italia. However, this could be the first major empire... I'll wait until Allen & Buj or Horus put in their thoughts. I think this is a bit much unless if you're going to be the first major empire.

Roger that will standby.

And yeah this pretty much throws away any offensive power for a long time, including my proposed campaign against Adurnak's Lusitania... Pretty much loses all its punch after this campaign.

[Relikai]

Hmm, Kilgrate getting too big... would it be ok if i take some of their land to balance it out? Or would it make 2 supernations in Europe? Just asking, not much of meaning to do it.

You want me to RP the whole "I take your settlers and demand you go back over the mountains" thing yet?

[Uragarr]

Sorry for repost, didn't know if my app has been seen.



Nation Name:Skernarthon
Capital City:Dunkeran
Government Type:Strong Absolute Monarchy
Head of State:High King Laidiron
Claimed Territory: (Provide a detailed description, or preferred, a map)

State/National Religion:Skernian Paganism
Dominant Religion:Skernian Paganism
Minority Religion(s):Other local polytheisms
Population: (Please keep realistic...)850,000
Military Organization:The military is dominated by an elite group of warrior nobles, known as the Drathir. They specialise in filling themselves with bad alcohol and throwing themselves in a berserk rage at enemy lines. Previously forming a large part of the army, these nobles numbers have dwindled, being replaced by more modern troops.
Military Size:42,500
Fleet Size:40 Galleys
National Flag: (Put in a spoiler.) http://imgur.com/DbnOt0I
Primary Culture: (Primary culture/linguistic group)Skernian
Accepted Cultures:Local Celtic Cultures
Primary Import(s):Metals and luxury goods
Primary Export(s):Agrarian materials
Trade Policy: (Free trade, for example.)Trade is unrestricted
Civil Freedoms:The previous tribal freedoms citizens would have enjoyed before the coming of the high king have been cut back harshly. Local autonomy among tribal groups has been eliminated and replaced with a strong central bureaucracy.

Brief Description of your nation's History: The Scottish people had long lived in uncivilised tribal villages and confederation. But this all changed with the coming of the Skernians. A hardy tribe from the frozen North, specialising in excellent military tactics, they speedily conquered neighbouring tribes and established collective rule across the whole of Scotland. Overtime local chiefs removed and the people payed homage directly to the king. The population grew quickly and modern towns and cities were established until the Kingdom of Skernarthon became a major regional power.
Brief Description of your nation's economy:The economy is mostly based on farming and overseas trade is greatly limited.
Brief Description of your nation's government:The High King has absolute power over all affairs of the kingdom, to help him he employs officials chosen from across the kingdom to work in administration and tax collection.
Brief Description of your nation's populace:The people of Skernarthon are roughly broken into two groups, the Skernians that form the noble classes and the local Scots that form the lower and middle classes. Currently tension between the two classes have cooled down but this may change soon.

RP Example: (Not necessary if you were a part of HoM at its end.)HoM 2, HoE (briefly), 900 years of Chaos, The Rebirthed World
429 - Do not remove. This is for tracking purposes.

Sure man, was waiting for that. Time to ignite a conflict in Europe!

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

Looks good, Uragarr, but the pop. is a bit high. That's over 20% of Scotland's current population. Please tone that done. Aside from that, it's fine.

[Galnius]

Eh, I was out of the RP for at least a month, so I'm just gonna start again.

Huh, alrighty then.

So.....what you you say is the estimated growth of my people from my initial App, as I have yet to update.

What was your initial pop?

3 million, read over and accepted as I was starting in Egypt. I can give you the link to the original if you'd like.

Lol you mean from day 1 you were accepted for 3 mil ?

[The Akasha Colony]

Lol you mean from day 1 you were accepted for 3 mil ?

Yeah, that was the approved starting pop.

[Relikai]

Yeah, that was the approved starting pop.

Then what happened to the approvals which caused the later applicants to go lower? (sorry didnt follow the OOC before my first post)

[Galnius]

Yeah, that was the approved starting pop.

Then what happened to the approvals which caused the later applicants to go lower? (sorry didnt follow the OOC before my first post)

Well, it was explained (at least to many others) that it depended on your starting point. Being on the Nile, I had very fertile land that could sustain a higher population. For those with less fertile areas, well, they couldn't sustain an equal amount.

[The Akasha Colony]

Yeah, that was the approved starting pop.

Then what happened to the approvals which caused the later applicants to go lower? (sorry didnt follow the OOC before my first post)

It's dependent on starting location. Certain more fertile areas were able to have higher starting populations. I had 4.4 million to start, since I started on the Yellow River valley and could demonstrate it actually supported populations of that size or larger during that period historically.

Trade with me!
I'm Baltica!

As in, the Baltics? We just might be able to strike a deal, considering we share a similar ancestry, (I think.)

Not about HoE here, but I wanna ask.
Why are there so many socialists on NS?

[Relikai]

Oh okay, guess its fair enough that massive pops and militaries get to steam roll others later in the RP hahas, makes a challenge for latecomers (like me) xD

[The Akasha Colony]

Broadly speaking, the internet tends to cater to a younger demographic, and NS in particular is targeted at the younger middle school through college crowd, which tends to be much more politically active and lean fairly heavily to the left.

I'm really surprised - I thought the West was the free market right-wing one? Maybe it's because I'm from a post-socialist society, but it still bugs me - what happened? When did so many people in the West become left?
