Europe: The Dark Continent (OOC and signups)

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

Send your Dravidians our way and we'll transport you across the desert for a price. Circumvent traffic, highwaymen, and tariffs all at once!

What kind of price are we talking about?

YES.

That'd also be a gr8 excuse for one of us to colonize the cape.

And our desire to reach Asia is why we will discover the New World.

Okay, I'll send some people over there soon, to work out an actual trade treaty.

It's a barter system. Anything from metal coinage to various items works fine.

[Togeria]

I'll barter you my first son, come to the west and be like my ally.

[Sanabel]

Maybe we need a giant anti-Moore coalition. Think of how everyone but them would benefit.

Bitch, I just want trade. Like goddamn trade and increasing my pop are my only goals.

p.s: Sorry for calling you a bitch, just seems like most the world is against me.

Nothing is set in stone unless it's on the IC.

And we want to trade too. So just don't infringe on our trade in the North Sea or our islands, and we will be fine. Stay in the Med.

[Sanabel]

That's an awfully large thing to ask.

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

Not sure about moving west for the sheer difficulty of it, but a permanent alliance could be established that way.

How the hell would I reach the North Sea??? I've stated my goals 3 times now. Invade the western North Africa and parts of Iberia to secure my position in the Mediterranean and then use that as a base to also jump in the world exploring.

Why not wait till the Mamluks get weaker and then strike?

What reasons have you for exploring then?

And goals change. Mine certainly have.

Well, that's sort of the idea. Whether we're allied or not, we're waiting for an opportune moment to attack, raid, and set up a pagan puppet in Mecca. Should this war occur due to alliance, the land will be granted to the ally in contrast to being splintered in an ideal situation.


You know, maybe I should've been a Berber tribe instead...oh well, no big deal.

That could be in our interests, especially if this puppet is friendly towards trade...

Mainly to seek trade opportunities and find more routes in Asia. The chief reason being so I trade little to known with the emerging Christian Europe.

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

Everyone was an Arab pagan the whole time, it would seem. Many people align their goals with the queen's.

Do you intend to colonize?

[Togeria]

My state isn't Pagan. We're Islamic Theocracy officially it's just trade and achieving growth has overshadowed the theocracy part.

In certain profitable areas yes.

In certain profitable areas yes.

What specifically?

After we have our Columbus/Vespucci parallels, we intend to basically take the entire coast of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, with the islands, centered in Florida, with land basically up to Virginia in North America.

And we will probably try to host a Berlin conference type meeting between powers to try and divide thr land up in the Americas if need be.

[The Ik Ka Ek Akai]

Look, if you want contact, trade, alliances, whatever, you've gotta do it IC. Negotiating OOC is nice and all, but it doesn't actually do anything.

Hey. Budddy.

Dont you think I know that?

It's best and more cohesive if you plan it ooc though.

I'll probably focus in the Southern areas of the Americas. focus first on the coast of Brazil and then move upward before going down.

Just a reminder, as you must trust me when I say that I've encountered problems with this before.

I see. What will your colony there be named?

Thinking up a name now.

For the Caribbean

[Bill Cosby Island]

Also, TNA, your gains map shows parts of Wallachia and the lake Balaton colony abandoned? Is this because you abandoned them ICly or couldn't be bothered to fill in those provinces?

[Bill Cosby Island]

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.

Morea, The Khan would be laughing with joy if you did this. A broken Golden Horde is a free shot at Zaporozia, maybe as far in as Sarai (wouldn't that be irony) Once the Ukrainistanis become more civilised, settled and Turkified I can flood this place with settlers.

[Tracian Empire]

So, OP, what do you think about my idea of a Greek-Russian state somewhere in Russia?
