The Distant Past and Present [OOC|Closed]

[The Knights of Azorea]

We've got three people with copper, now the race is to get hold of some tin.

Maybe we were all too lucky to get tin, so there is no tin.

[The Knights of Azorea]

I suppose we just have to find the unfortunate soul that drew tin on the wheel.

If three people were lucky enough to get copper, and only one person was unlucky enough to get tin, they were probably the lucky one .

[The Knights of Azorea]

Not with three people with copper bearing down on them, and with their much less useful ore.

I think I can fairly reveal that no player nation currently controls any tin mines.

[New Communist and Socialist Unions]

Is my application okay now with the recent edits G?

So we just need cooper to make bronze or do we also need tin to make it in the rp?

[G-Tech Corporation]

I'm afraid I haven't been able to get to my computer yet, so I'll assess applications tomorrow in all likelihood.

Oh no, you certainly need tin for alloying. Or arsenic-bearing ores, which iirc nobody occupies yet either. We're not AHing chemistry after all

I see your hedged language there.

I had already been planning to send a messenger to Namuria, just to help establish some good old Pan-African amicability, but I'll just focus on Nem'Jeled for now and later we'll see if they're one of the NPCs that I'm suspecting has tin.

We're not AHing chemistry after all

Lucky I didn't go with my silicon-based humans nation idea, then.

Whhhaaaatttt, no. You've got it all wrong, mate. I would never purposely reveal a reason for the existence of NPCs related to the tin trade.

[Austria and Bavaria]

No resource TG for Silesja?

[Theyra]

So no one can make bronze?

[G-Tech Corporation]

No resource TG for Silesja?

'Fraid not.

So no one can make bronze?

Not exactly. Some of your comrades have figured out a solution.

[Adurnak]

Probs can't put a post up until tomorrow because it's 1:30 here and I'm exhausted, but I think I might just mention that irl Sardinia was a hot spot for metals trade, including tin which they imported for trade in the western med
Side note wasn't their a confederacy of Phoenician cities centered on the Balearic islands? If not, dibs on that land

[Austria and Bavaria]

'Fraid not.

So... we have... what exactly?

Quite. But, as noted in the OP, resources do not correspond to RL locations.

All nations who have resources that are "unique/uncommon" had there rundowns TGed to them. Before I made this RP I made up a map including all resources through the early Medieval Period- if you didn't get a TG, you don't have resources that your civilization can currently utilize of note. So plenty of food (depending on your location) or timber (ditto), but not things like tin, copper, silver, etc.

Ah okay, so how do we find out who has what then? Is this something to make us interact more with each other because we'll need to send diplomats to find stuff?

Noooooo....

It's also an incentive to expand and compete for land. All those necessary and lucrative resources are just waiting past the horizon waiting to be annexed.

[Rygondria]

Civilization Application
Formal Name: The city of Salamnus
Form of Government: Oligarchic Republic
Location: Southern Anatolia
Brief History: Salamnus had its start during what was know as the Greek migration. This occured due to an invasion by tribe of barbarians from the Danube River basin named The Brachhi. In order to avoid being destroyed Greeks either stayed and fought and where ultimately subjugated, fled and created colonies or joined in a great migration lead by Alexandros for the people who could not afford passage on the boats. Under his Rule Alex lead the Greek people through Greece and Anatolia fighting many battle against both Brachhi and Anatolian's seeking to end the migration. Eventually they found themselves in southern Anatolia which they decided would be their permanent home. So they attacked the city states in the area and due to their overwhelming numbers easily conquered the area, they then established the City of Salamnus in the newly conquered city of Hykos.

After the death of Alexandros the city was faced with a sucession crisis, in the end it was decided that an Archon would rule the city from now on. The city over the centuries of it expanded both its trade tendrils through anatolia and is planning territorial expansion to give more living space for the Greek people. Will this homeland for the greeks last, will they ever see greece again, will the build a civilization to last the test time.
Military Description: They have a standing army of 700 but if citizen levies are raised they can have about 5,700 soliders
Naval Description: With one of the best navies in the Eastern Mediterranean Salamnus sports 20 triremes which are used to control and exert their trade routes and protect against piracy and occasionally blockade and ram enemy ships during times of war.
Color for Map: Umm olive Green ?

Didn't expect Italy to have lots of challengers. Welp, brace yourselves boys.

Oh right, a military is a thing we have. Derp.

[Reverend Norv]

Well, that should give y'all something to reply to. And it gives me plenty of characters to play with, too.

I don't think I have seen someone post that many times in a row....... could you just limit that to one post or two?
