1870 : Alternative Divergence [AH][OOC][REBOOT]

[Democratic East-Asia]

Hmm, thinking about some weird Taiping kingdom commie expy..

[Tracian Empire]

Wait, what's that Mexican nation?

The Aztecs.

[Democratic East-Asia]

The Aztecs.

Ah. I might just fall back on my Chinese nation idea.

[Seinlo]

Oh, okay, Java is out of the question. Pakistan and Afghanistan, here I come!

[Tracian Empire]

Yes, true. To the player trying to reserve Indonesia, parts of it had been unofficially reserved in the former thread, so sorry.

Nice app until now, Trotza.

[Trotza]

Oh, okay, Java is out of the question. Pakistan and Afghanistan, here I come!

Why though.

[Tracian Empire]

The Aztecs.

Ah. I might just fall back on my Chinese nation idea.

China was mostly taken as far as I remember.

[Tracian Empire]

As into, instead of Yemen?

South China seems empty. Based on the outdated map.

Also, I noticed that you got 13 points instead of 10. Is there some special rule?

[The V O I D]

Thrace, I am working on my app again to get most of it out of the way aside from history... although, I might need help organizing my history into bullets and such that make sense.

[Seinlo]

As into, instead of Yemen?

No, I want to have a personal union with one of or remnants of one of the historical nations there. Islam could have easily expanded into that area, even if it didn't really survive in Persia.

"Outdated"

Yes, I earned them in the past threads.

And I'll give you all the help you need.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it can easily be all one state. I mean, maybe some kind of thing going on with Baluchistan and Sind, but not much more inland than that I'd think.

South China seems empty. That being said, it should technically be open unless anyone else apped for it.

And it would be extremely unrealistically for Yemen to have a PU with Afghanistan or Pakistan, and it would be really difficult for Islam to spread there.

And as part of the OP board, and as someone who has been in the discussions from the beginning, I vaguely remember people claiming it, and as such, I can't guarantee you that it's free.

I still say base your power in the Gulf of Aden, and perhaps a few cities in Baluchistan (dat be the southern end of Pakistan, considering how expand-y Persia is feeling)

Yes, my base of power will be in the Gulf of Aden. Should I go with Sada'a still, though? Maybe Taiz should be the capital? Is it more strategic? I dunno.

I don't see Yemen holding on to both African and Pakistani possessions, especially since the second would bring him into conflict with Persia.

[Seinlo]

My nation has a history of getting into PU's, and then assimilating the nation that they were in a PU with, which was what happened to Oman.

@Danceria, any idea what the nation I am in a PU with in Pakistan/Afghanistan should be?

I don't think I would have borders with Persia, though There might be a buffer nation, or a non-nation in the middle. Besides, if an already developed nation entered a PU with Yemen, it would just make an already interesting part of the world more interesting.

And there is a big difference between your neighbor Oman and Pakistan.

I would also like to suggest you to stop ignoring the points of view of members of the OP board like that. And Danceria, while his efforts are appreciated, is not a member of the board.

Even so, it's about influence. You'd need to bypass Persian influence in the gulf and the closer parts of the Indian Ocean.

But that is not the main problem.

I have plenty of influence in that area. Strait of Hormuz ring a bell?
