There are factors other than your alliance, Void.

I know, I'm just saying it doesn't make much sense.

At absolute worst, I'd be in between the ETG and RTG in advanced tech, maybe leaning towards ETG slightly.

You /are/ very close to Rome, if Trace has agreed with that. It's really up to the OP board, though.

It would be super easy to bypass. They could just be part of the crew that gets beaten and left in Italia.

Guidance Description : The times following the defeat of the Armies of Mohammed were dark times for the people of the crescent, but they were ultimately not the only ones to suffer, for without their pioneering spirit in the fields of Academia and the steadfast heart of Constantinople standing strong the tides of Knowledge that the upheaval the Armies of Islam would have brought proved to be decimating to the peoples of Europe. As a result of Islam being forced back, the Renaissance never occurred and European Intelligentsia stuttered and faltered falling behind the power of the Imperium Romanum. Europe remained mired in an ignorant Dark Age only eventually making progress after many years. Europe however would remain in the shadow of foreign powers and the continent would be one step behind many parts of the world.

-The Roman Tech Group is considered to be more advanced than the European Tech Group

-The European Tech Group suffers from lack of ingenuity and innovation making them slow to adapt or adopt new ideas meaning that attempts to modernize are also stifled.

Affected Area : Europe

Like, sorry Trace, but I just might go for it. Even still, you can try to pretend Sassanid is still a thing.

How sad. Now, when you could actually turn Persia into a big power..

I dunno, "Big power" has never really been my thing anyways. I was excited for it, but I feel like I've kinda lost my inspiration for Persica Invicta.

Thrace and I agreed that East-Rome and Italia have been friends for quite a while, and I even mention this in my history...
...And Thrace is one of the OP Board, pretty sure, so. *Shrug.*

Like maybe a strong cultural bond?

Both you and Novgorod would probably be in between an European tech and the Roman tech, slightly more towards the Roman tech, I'd say.

Reasonable.

Well, since we would start relations only in the 1600's, Italia would initially also be affected by the lack of a Renaissance, before the knowledge from Constantinople slowly started to spread.

270 years is a lot of time, though. I have almost no doubt that the knowledge has spread and we're at least almost caught up with East-Rome.

Yes. Well, for a starters, I see a Rome that's not exactly threatened by anyone at that point in history be able to fund an expedition into Brazil sometimes in the 1500's.

That's why I said slightly towards the Roman tech group.
