Europe: The Dark Continent (OOC and signups)

[The Northernmost Americas]

Hehe, that's why I'm considering seizing Ravenna from you

Not so fast, you opportunistic fiend!

[Conwy-Shire]

Not so fast, you opportunistic fiend!

Wait, wat; keep to your own sphere of influence Ottoman

[Togeria]

You see I would, there's just one problem. I'M ONE OF THE SMALLEST STATES POP WISE!!!

Hehe, that's why I'm considering seizing Ravenna from you

I might be small, but I'm always ready to rock bottom a Christian, wassup!

Oh Oh, Morean leadership and the orthodox church flee north via the Adriatic, Croatia towards Poland and see what happens there. Alternatively they wander into the golden horde and rouse the peasantry against their pagan oppressors. The Ottoman navy is not deployed there yet and if they act quickly, they could possibly avoid Moorian troops.

Theodore will probably die together with Morea, since he's already old. This would start a successor crisis, since all his possible descendants are under aged. Some Palaiologos might escape to the north, but it wouldn't mean much.

[Conwy-Shire]

...but it wouldn't mean much.

you have artistic licence here, anything can mean everything if it makes the RP more enjoyable to everyone

I dunno what to say, eventually, even if you retained Crete, Cyprus and Trebizond you were going to run out of expansion space. I think you should try to make it to the north. An alternate Russia shaking off mongol rule would be interesting to see.

So, is it allowed to RP as more than one nation? Bill just placed me both as the Ashikaga and the Neo Byzantines

Morea, Crimea and Trebizond are the only Greek states left. Once they fall, the Palaiologos might try to establish something somewhere else, but it would take years, if it would work.

Nah fam. Da Muslims stay strong, unlike the Christians which is why they got rekt.

A good exercise in creativity if nothing else.

My initial idea was to take advantage of that civil war inside the Ottoman Empire, but with no weakness from the Ottomans, the days of the Despotates were numbered anyway.

[Korhal IVV]

The Armenians will probably be more than willing to offer refuge to their fellow Christians.

Tracia...

YOU WILL NOT LEAVE THIS RP!

Really? I mean come one! Is it this hard to flee and seek refuge somewhere else? I could grant you refuge in Bohemia! Would that work for you?

I giggled when I re-read this

The Armenians are currently under the thumb of the Timurids and will be under the thumb of the Ottomans within a decade or two.
I'm trying a new style of IC post. A textbook type entry. It's not my preference but I feel dialogue just take up so much time to get right. Any thoughts?

[Akksum]

i smell a war in italy coming on. A muslim v.s. a catholic. The morale authority of Christianity would be faultering with no holy city. I DECLARE BERLIN A HOLY CITY!

[Maljaratas]

We can negotiate and be friends or you can be the France to my Britain.

I feel like the latter will be the case unfortunately. Unless we Berlin-conference this bitch early on.

But I intend to discover and name the New World BC of my exploring. Iceland probably could first but they are too isolated for it to matter.

Thank you for reconginizing I exist

The problem is transportation. The Ukrainitanis and Ottomans will block the way(probably) and Crimea is nearly surrounded.

The Byzantines will have to fight their way to Poland/Germany.

The Adriatic is free of enemy ships and Moorsia has not yet advanced into Croatia. There is a slim window of opportunity. And my offer on Greece still stands.

I would prefer Aymendia. Also you gonna respond to ships sailing to Istanbul?

Though that would only be a holy city to your branch of christianity...

Actually...

You might have some religious insurgencies in your newly acquired territories.

Fleeing and seekie refuge isn't that hard. Creating another state somewhere with underage princes will be hard.

[The Northernmost Americas]

I'm confused. Am I moving too fast in regards to the Timurids? Sorry, Aymendia. What would those ships be doing? I suggested they go from Morea to the Adriatic. I agree that the Byzantine state in Crimea is screwed unless they come to an agreement with the khanate.

Also if you look at the map of my conquered lands, I had that very southern area. Cosby just didn't add it.
