IRL around 1520 Tawantinsuyu was getting ready to conquer again. They had mostly pacified their subjugated peoples and were pretty far in the process of assimilating them (the reason Quechua is spoken really really heavily in Bolivia, Perú, and Ecuador even though pre-Inka only a tiny part of Perú spoke it) therefore, without plagues in the 1520s (since America hasn't been as heavily colonized since Muslims lack the same "conquer and convert" ideology as the Spaniards.) they would be able to expand again. And where is better to expand than to the fertile lands of Las Pampas?

Although I will admit I thought Las Pampas were further north than they are, so I'll change my claim with the lands further south instead.

These Inca sure are efficient conquerors. True I suppose. I'm curious how the Inca were able to control such a vast territory when the land seems so disjoined and hilly.

Ok.

Highways like fucking crazy



And yeah, I'm mixing up my 1600s RPs.

That explains their UA.

Okay, just to clarify this is 1650.

Highlands, 3 billion year old map, Pangea...

Pachacuti wins every time.

Who's Venice and who's Florence?

After I stage a coup and reinstall my Sapa Inka as leader instead of ceremonial leader, I'd like to hire some retired Italian officers and engineers to help modernize. I'd pay them really well, like how German officers went to the Ottomans to in the 1800s and got ten times their normal pay.

I mean, I probably have some steam tech already due to inevitable trade and contact.

In fact, the smallpox and plagues can be the thing that allows the Sapa Inka to reinstall himself. Civil unrest and all that.

They're unclaimed, I just wanted to put them on the map.

A tiny tiny bit of steam tech, like maybe a tractor.

Still better than nothing, farm tech means more food and therefore less people dead, which, in my situation, is what we need. Probably some guns and some stuff too. I mean, if I was an explorer and came across this empire that offers gold for their cool weapons, why wouldn't I agree?

Very true, and that'd help your population which I could picture being huge. I suppose you may have some basic muskets, and maybe your blacksmiths/engineers can produce a native version.

Yeah, the Inka were really adaptable, it was pretty crazy. That's how they managed to advance the Andes as much in one century as the previous two millennia.

So, once they realize something is beneficial they'll try to adopt it, and since trade is heavily regulated the government would gain access to those resources.

Plus we could offer lots of gold and iron and coal to any country that gives us mining tech.

Yep, I know I talk crap a lot but I really think they were an amazing people.

Gold and coal you say? Hmm, Novgorod might pay you a visit friend.

I just have to get an airship on it in my first post and he'll be there by the time the RP dies.

Since Sans Europa is on life support...

[Franco-Iberie]

JFC I thought they said no big colonies yet.

We did, sorry Franco.

@Franco, our history has something about a powerful Aragon and Morocco, so make of that what you will regarding your history. Big colonies are a no-no, so you're going to have to cut back in Brazil. Just an outpost is fine though. I'm going to ask Sanabel regarding your Caribbean holdings.

Hmm, okay, is England reserved?

England's open.

Hmm, yuo know what, I think I'll just go with good ol' PortHUEgal.

Thanks to steampunk technology, the Byzantine Empire is able to escape death at the hands of the Ottomans, and they flee to the Americas, establishing a colony on its eastern shores.

I'm not too sure about the timing of things, so I'll let Sanabel decide this.

[Reatra]

Yes?

Unfortunately Leonardo DaVinci is born only a couple years before the Ottomans take Constantinople, so the steampunk would come fifty to sixty years too late to help.

Schiesse. I suppose I'll be Ireland then.
