History of Empires (OOC, Always Open)

[Terran Borealis]

I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but does anyone have the most recent map?

Along with this, I'd like to make contact of some sorts with the other nations around me. Anyone have any idea who those are? Considering I'm in South Ukraine?

The last map update appears to be 100 BC. I'm waiting for Horus to update the map so I can start expanding the Waddo.

[The Emerald Dragon]

If I'm not here, do not ask for map updates. Do not ask stupid questions. I leave from time to time, there's nothing I can do about it. I always do everything when I get back, don't worry.

Horus, making everything sound mysterious.

So what I miss? I'll post very soon. It's like 60% done but I never got to finish it Friday.

Lots of complaining and debating about the role of religion in Europe. Not much else otherwise.

Equal & I were debating about which religion will be the most dominant, after Pol decided to become Sievietian. Pol invaded Wales, Krys made a new Anglo-Saxonesque nation in the English NPC, I expanded, the Ots came, and... that's about it.

[Pandeeria]

Guys, since I'm now a Theocratic Empire, how is our new flag?

[The Polarian Empire]

I'm confused, did the monks for Sievetism come to my nation.... or not

Sorry for another repost but I lowered pop like Neo said.

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)(Image)

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.

Not yet. I was planning on just shooting Monks out in every direction in the hopes of conversion. A few nations, obviously, will not. That'll pave the way for crusades

I'll get an IC post up about the monks and priests.

Hmm... your pop is still a bit high... as long as a plague or something big comes sometime soon and stints your population growth for a while, you'd be okay. Accepted.

[Bujahla]

My IC post was crap but I could care less atm.

[Bujahla]

Wait, does Kry have one or two nations now jw?

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

Two nations. One in England and the other in Sweden, as it always was.

Okay cool. I was just wondering if he dropped Sweden or not.

[Redemption-America]

Well, after the fall and rise of my empire (in that order, now I just need someone to agree to destroy themselves with me via rivalry), when it comes to colonization, I think I'll stick to going for Paraguay, well, after I attempt to get some land in Europe of course. Can't have a tiny Egypt can we?

*Volunteers*

I'll be taking the Levant soon, so we'll have a nice border to fight over.

[Redemption-America]

Looks good to me. Welcome back!

Thanks. Is the guy in Anatolia still around? I think I may wish to trade with him.

A thousand pardons for the double post.

That'd be me. I'm purple (those are my latest, so there is still an NPC in between us http://i.imgur.com/3XhxjLR.png)

I guess I can attack you since you destroy your self.

Isn't that a protected NPC? I'm unsure....also, can someone TG New Vaxon?

Well then.....what do we do with his nation?


Also, what would be my pop be? I started with 3 mil and haven't udated since.

[The Emerald Dragon]

Mine should be about 680,000.

[Equalium]

"Torganism is gonna be like Christianity"

Not even you can, apparently, which is the spelling that I used.

There's a lotta talk about missionaries and spreading the various religions. However, what makes those religions appealing? Who would bother adopting them over whatever local religion there may be? Toraganism is another pantheon; if it still uses national personifications, we run into the problems we brought up before and it wouldn't spread, at all.

I'm plowing through the IC and OOC, but I don't see what comprises Sievietism or Njordism (if it's anything like IRL, it's another pantheon). However, unlike Toraganism, Sievietism is being spread at the point of a sword, like Islam. At the moment, Sievietism's spread makes the most sense, compared to other essentially regional pantheons, unless Toraganism's appeal is addressed.

I think that you could create a monotheistic religion focused on redemption by some martyr's death and supposed resurrection.

Wow. You refuse to read the changes I amde to Toraganism?

You and Allen. I swear.

[Great Houses of Xie]

what changes? all i see is that it's been changed to a polytheism, rather than pseudo-nationalism, which still doesn't indicate how it would spread.

[The Orson Empire]

I see Great Britain has been abandoned.

I am considering making a new nation there.

[Neo-Assyrian Empire]

You're wrong there.

Scotland, Wales, Northern England, and Ireland have all been claimed, with only a small chunk of England left.
