Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be withdrawing my claims to Iberia. I have way too much homework from this winter break that I need to finish in like 4 days. Sorry it took so long for me to announce that.

No problem.

I remember the Janissary corps, but there are other forces that had been trained since a young age that didn't have those prohlems. I'll fix that, though, since you're right when you point out that it's dangerous. I was wondering if the rest of Saudi Arabia should be colored red for the normal map. I will put the color code description in a new category called 'Other Map Information', or something.

You should only color what you own, and that's it.

Also, you will have to give up Mozambique to Rygondria.

I already gave up Mozambique, but they don't own all of it, do they? I have historical claims to the tip of it (it's supposed to be a smaller piece in my core, but it isn't because I couldn't find a smaller piece).

The rest of Mozambique is wanted by my nation, but we don't have any settlements there.

That's up to them. Historical claims don't matter too much. The claim precedence rule is:

old player homelands>new player homelands>old player colonies>new player colonies

Rygondria is an old player.

And leaving that aside, his claim is much smaller than yours, so he will get Mozambique.

Damnation, is there anything open in eastern Africa ?

You're getting Mozambique, don't worry.

I don't want Mozambique. I just want the tip of it, which is supposed to be part of Zanzibar, but, yes, I will wait to see what he says.

If Rygondria wants it, there is no helping, you'll have to give it up.

Somewhere in the first ten pages I realized Rygondria was an old player, and dropped my Mozambique claim... So, yes, yes there is stuff to have.

I thought I just said I'll wait to see what he says,meaning I'm aware of that.

The Omani military seems a bit inflated.

Just like the population.

Thanks for the flags, Cy. Only, I do not like the crown, since Ruthenia isn't really a monarchy per say.

[Cymrea]

No worries, use 'em if you want or change 'em.

I designed them for an imperial Novgorod, hence the crown.

Ah, I see.

The White Ruthenian one I have is a placeholder, used by Belarusian nationalists IRL. I'm trying to find a better one.

That doesn't make any sense. Mombasa is ahead of the northern tip, and is a strategic location. Exchanging it for the northern tip wpuld mean being cut off from the northern tip. Never mind, lol

Post it again.

Here.

FYI you should use PNGs so the quality is better and it doesn't look awful when you resize it.

Seinlo, this will probably be the claim that the OP board is recommending for you.

I should already tell you that Rome won't like you being that close to Jerusalem though.

Ruthenia will be a friend of Novanglia.

It's not resized and using the pic resizer I usually use, this is the result. I have no intention of making it smaller than that so it still comes across as clear for IC posts; although, I might use the full-sized one in case.

yey

Republican governments gotta stick together
