History of Empires II (OOC, OPEN)

[Great Houses of Xie]

It's like 1200 CE. It needs to slow down to either 15 or 10.

1200? Wow, I need to update lots of things, man.

What about the spread of gunpowder? Has gunpowder already reach Southeast Asia?

So far, 2 nations have seen gunpowder in action: Japan and China.

[Relikai]

Begun an Expedition against the Eiri / Emerald Dragon / Ireland... to kick things off to become more exciting..

I'll respond when you begin to hit land.

Just be warned, the Eiri Warriors fight fiercely and have good equipment.

I posted. And dont worry, I'm sure they are.

[The Polarian Empire]

[The Polarian Empire]

Belonged to a group of nobles and handfuls of followers, it expanding slowly and slowly until became a great maritime empire with huge, albeit weak navy as well as strong army. Its nobles, however, have been defeated by a local lord named Javaraya who took the throne and established the Javaraya Dynasty to preserve his descendants.

~350 years of expansion worth of map update for me.

Time to look to invade other players, I guess. *shifty eyes*

Wait, but I need war with you I believe. What do I do now? I can easily just take something your interested in, or, you know, sink a few ships.

Or I can take ALL your things haha.

But yeah I'm up for something.

[Relikai]

I got a few prototype cannons up...bombards actually... Low of the low

They have no reason to. Japan only traded it to China in exchange for altering their previous treaty preventing Japanese expansion on the continent.

[Reatra]

Okay. I'm on vacation, I have to time to post. Sorry. I'll do some break up of Rynatoo and the reunification by some outside tribe, but not too outside to not count as Rylonian. Then it is unified under Rylonia. I'll be a lot bigger too.

Okay?

[Adurnak]

Yo, polarian and redemption can you post replies to my Ic posts that are days old pls?

[The Polarian Empire]

Sure what are they about ?

[Adurnak]

Sure what are they about ?

It was this:

With the unfolding of recent events the king and his council released a set of secret emergency decrees:

III: A member of the council is to be sent north in UTTER SECRECY to Gauletania with the following message:

To: The Imperial Confederaci of Gauletania
From: The United Crown of Lusitania and Maurinia
To whom it may concern; as a nation we would like to open up more trade with you and begin a period of closer relations between our peoples

[The Polarian Empire]

Sure

I'm assuming in my unfortunate unavoidable absence, my nation kept itself up-to-date.



EDIT: I'm assuming public hangings/executions are fine for the current time, but I'm just making sure everyone is okay with it.

EDIT 2: Also, What are current military/navy sizes? I need to know as to update.

[Relikai]

Emerald, may I know whether the marked province has any sizable towns or villages apart from the capital? I sent my scouts out, and maybe they will be 75% successful in returning...

I'm fine with considering it up to date (you could just update it in an IC post anyway).

Population wise, I looked at medieval/Roman censuses, and came up with ~32 million, with a military of 1,000,000, half of whom are active, 56,000 of whom are in the navy, and the rest are reserves of varying quality. Working on detailing this more.

Edit, got bored and looked up Egypt's population, seems it should be around 4-8 million, according to various estimates.

Yeah, but you have to take into account my last pop, and estimate the growth

EDIT: If I started with three mill, where would I be now?

[The Orson Empire]

Man, I have missed a lot.

[The Emerald Dragon]

Just saying, that's not your territory.

Also, why are you invading?

Here's the towns...

Tiahoboran which has a population of 94,000, however this is in the very northern part of the province.
Tallach - 37,000 populace.
Asaan - 19,000 populace
Daespear - 118,000 populace, is walled and has around 10,000 defenders.

PS: Sizeable garrisons of around 12,000 men in each province exist.

Thanks, never said it was my territory, it's currently being contested, that's why it's marked.

Reason ? Imperialism.

Rough guesstimate, maybe 10-12?
