REOPENED:
Spaces are reopenning in this Roleplay! See the current map if you're interested.
The current steps for signing up are:
1) Make a factbook.
2) Get involved in a IC thread
3) Make a Claim on the map, and link the factbook + IC thread.
4) I'll add you to the RP
A few things to bear in mind:
Technology is at 1300AD level, with no gunpowder available.
We are not using insane NS populations. I am thinking nothing bigger than 5-10 million per a nation. Larger nations should have certain disadvantages, although currently I cant think of any ha.
I have a map, shamelessly stolen from google images.
Map v22
Map comparison to Europe:
Mapworking will quickly become hardwork...We'll need one for every tactical situation and more strategical ones for invasions...A cartographer would really help!

I am told a map similiar to the original continent map is coming, so as to make claims easier etc.
Don't produce a perfect army/nation. Remember weakness's are what make things interesting.
Elite units...Each nation will probably have one type. For me I'm thinking Throwing Axemen. Be imaginative!
Realism: typical NS rules, no million man armies, think about logistics, don't declare war on a whim etc...You get the point
