History of Empires II (OOC, OPEN)

[Great Houses of Xie]

Cool. Lets finally get a move on.

While RVC, Relikai, and Zia troops move into position, I have to wait for Adurnak to post his stuff regarding his guys either in or avoiding combat with mine.

[Alleniana]

Am I accepted? Still nothing...

Edit this, acceptations in.

I have the not Hagia Sofia, for what it's worth.

Also I need more minority religions. Polytheism has died out, and I have Bebenism already, but I need more from Europe and probably Persia.

Zarathrianism (Zoroastrianism of Persia in this RP) still prevails tho, since 600s BCE with love.

My minority religions list in my app is basically a compendium of the northern Indian Ocean religions:

Agnosticism (intellectuals), R'habish (Babylonia), Zarathrianism (Parsihiyans), Hantar Agung Pemberi (Medar-Seyamites), Kuruism (Kurus), Buddhi Chi (Javanese), Silveros (Relikai), Bemi cultism (Bemi valleyers & Nenebemi lower classes), Cameleon (Adenians), Yugami (Mividu monarchist cult), Beyuzoan cultism (spread out through Ruzojo), Tangism (Turkans), various pagans (Krenitia, Orissa, south India, Constantinople)

Great Wall of Eiriland, Built after the Relikan-Eiriland War.

A long stretch of stone wall from the Eastern to the Western Coast. Manned by the Eiriland Guards, the wall has kept Eiriland barbarians out for the past 500 years, before the final subjugation of Eiriland. Forts are built 10 kilometers apart from each other, and villages exist around them.


The Franceuropean Star Fort Line, 1700

Finished in 1700 at the cost of five years of the Relikan Treasury, the star forts dot the Imperial Border from Franceuropa, and later covering Italia. They are manned by the Imperial Guard Division. Thousands of cannons and howitzers are stationed in the forts along with well trained soldiers. Built in a formation of two layers, should any fort fall to an enemy, men from the fort behind would immediately launch a counterattack. Forts are built in a way where they are strong from the front, and slightly weaker at the back. Any encircling army, however, will find itself within range of a reinforcing battalion which would defend the rear at all times. Reinforcements from rear forts could intercept and enemy too.

Holy Cathedral of Silveros


The Holy Cathedral of Silveros acted as Valencia's Fortress and Seminary, with capacity for 10,000 dwellers/defenders consisting mainly of Priests, Scholars, Holy Warriors and Missionaries. Holy Warriors are dedicated Crusaders; Priests spread the Word around the Empire, Scholars debate and study the rich texts of Silveros with new technologies, and Missionaries prepare themselves to travel beyond under the Holy Commission. Most of the scholars and priests live in Valencia itself, while the Warriors and Missionaries experience the life of true soldiers and hardship through maintaining the Cathedral all by themselves. With libraries rivaling other wonders of the world, the Cathedral also represents the pinnacle of Holy Relikan masonry and architecture.

Valencian Military Academy

The ancient military academy of Silverii retained its tradition in newer buildings, now accumulating into a great structure where only the best of the military formations could ply their trade in. Training the Four Families, the Republican Armies and the Imperial Families, the Academy has ensured a constant updating of its syllabus, allowing Relikan Armies to best their enemies in the field of battle.

I reckon the Cathedral would be best bet, with Valencia and the wall following behind as applicants. Yeah?
I myself plan to have a Sri Lanka-India causeway, which would probably be my own best bet, and then maybe the Grand Academy behind. And then even further, maybe the ruins of the original palace in Bemi (it's all sunken now, which basically makes it Atlantis )

On the subject of monuments I've got those two 40 feet tall statues of the first explorers that founded colonies in africa and America at the mouth of the Tagus river (I think that's what it's called)

Done.

Accept.

Do you want me to make a declaration in Joganedu (the city, which I assume is the capital of the country of the same name) that annexation is occurring, and then you cause riots and the rebellion begins?

[Sassinia]

Sure, that's fine.

[Alleniana]

Sure, that's fine.

Also, Jaykinmari -> Joganemiru

Alrighty. Time to cause some revolts!
Joganedu will be some nondescript central inland city in Joganedu (country). Preparants.

[Relikai]

Come to think of it, the academy collapsed so....

Anyway, may need backdating cos we're mostly still stuck in 1790, and Kanilion took the tech I was going for :/

Erm Fort, where is my coastal province ?

What mean?

Also, if it collapsed, probably a bit invalid.

Yeah so cancel the academy, its invalid.

'Backdate' to catch up with tech of nations not involved in our time bubble

And Fort's IC post has no coastal province of mine

[Unionis Augustinus]

So, based on the IC posts, the Mividu established in 1660 and the Relikai/RVC invaded Burma around ~1660-90(not sure of the date). I'm just concerned about time discrepancies and back-dating since so much has happened.

Also no mention of the Land Purchase, interaction, and suddenly the Kingdom moves south like it owned the land all along...

Let's see what he does. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, and he's got plenty of land to take as compense.

Wondering, though, when decolonisation gets seriously underway, do you plan to release that bit as a country or give it to Fort, or hold on?

Mividu was meant to be establish in 420, so that's a problem.

[Sassinia]

No probs. Font might be a bit small, though.

That's my style. I can change it to normal font if you like.

EDIT: Changed.

I'm just trying to make sense of this.

So the Mividu moved down from Tibet during 1660 and the Yangon region (during the time) was occupied by the Medarans (who were annexed/conquered by me). Relikai/RVC invaded Burma afterwards meaning he invaded Mividu. Then the RVC sold territory to Ruzojo and Ruzojo was an enemy of Mividu (correct me if I'm wrong).

Oh, the move is what you're talking about.

No, no. A Burma NPC and other land in the area (Medarans I assume) were annexed a little while back by you and Relikai. Relikai then gifted a lot of his land to me. I then gifted a majority of that land to Mividu, in return for Himalayan land I wanted (consider it a swap).

Basically, Burma & Medar -> you and Relikai
Some of Relikan Burma -> Me
Some of My Burma -> Mividu

Sorry about that.

But you do have my former territory as sovereign land right?
