The game begins in 1490, with the amount of time passing each turn slowly decreasing (initially several decades per turn, slowing down over time).
There is a slight change in the course of history. In the wake of the Permian mass extinction, a small group of reptiles eventually diversified to become among the dominant fauna on earth. Known as dinosaurs, the majority of them perished in a mass extinction that left only two families. Of them are the birds, and the other, are dragons. Dragons initially evolved in the Americas, only developing the ability to fly a few million years ago, and later spreading into Eurasia and Africa. The dragons pushed most large birds to extinction, leaving only the penguins. Human activities were rarely affected, due to the dragon’s solitary nature and low numbers. By the 15th century, while the East Asian civilizations had bred dragons for some centuries, the first attempts in Europe have been made to tame them as the world leaves behind the medieval era. This rp covers what happened next.
RULES:
1. Send in a PM to Poben, with the following title: "Countryname: Turn X"
2. DON'T write turnsheets that are too long. It may be tempting, but unless I can copypaste it in, turns take longer.
3. DO write up to [b]10[/b] lines (of commands) in your turn (this does not include technology).
4. The PM you send to me will take the following form for the first turn:
[quote]Flag: (image is 250x150 pixels)
Country: (Pick a country on the map)
Capital City:
Culture:
State religion:
You must also send in your commands:
Technology: (You give me 2 technologies to research.)
Military: (Everything involving your military goes here. Also includes expansion on the map via force.)
Domestic affairs: (Everything inside of your countries borders.)
External affairs: (Everything outside of your countries borders. This includes expansion on the map via peaceful methods.)[/quote]
Make your turnsheets, post in the thread, make comics and announcements and such. Overall try to do your best at taking over the world.
First turn will be turn 1. You will send in both your country info and your commands. Note the timespan for each turn; this will serve as a guide for how you should plan out things.
[quote]Burgundy: 1488
Slowly putting his palm forwards, Felix felt the hard shell of the egg sitting in front of him.
“How is it prepared again?” he asked.
“After hatching, you need to be careful. Grip the neck and squeeze before you do anything else.” replied the head cook, Gillette. “Clean it, hang it over the bowl, and I’ll take care of the rest”.
The egg was slowly cracking, drawing the attention of several of the staff around. A small hole grew in the side, out of which a talon poked.
“Be careful, these little bastards have sharp claws”. Now the whole kitchen watched with some interest, especially when they saw the top of the egg being pushed off by its occupant. A small orange head poked out, covered in slime.
“Should I do it now?” asked Felix.
“Lift it out now and wipe that filth off first” she replied.
He carefully lifted out the small dragon and rubbed it with a rag, before turning it upside down and holding its neck still.
It squeaked “I’m the wrong way up”.
Felix jumped slightly at this and accidentally let go, allowing the creature to drop. It quickly got up on its legs and looked at the kitchen staff, most of whom stepped back.
“It can talk!” shouted a man halfway through gutting a lamprey.
“Do I grab it again?” asked Felix.
“No, I’ve never encountered one that could speak before” said Gillette. Everyone stared dumbstruck at the small reptile, which began walking unsteadily around tasting everything with its long serpentine tongue. “On second thought grab it again, someone find me a basket”.
Felix walked over and grabbed the dragon, which was clawing at him and squeaking loudly. Martin brought over a basket and Felix shoved the dragon inside the basket. It tried scratching its way out and biting at the sides.
“You there, call the lord, this is important” Gillette shouted at one of the kitchen staff. He quickly ran upstairs to alert him, and several minutes passed before they came into the room.
Comte David de Thérouanne was evidently angry “You said a dragon can talk? Don’t tell me you ruined a perfectly good-“
“I can talk!” it shouted out from inside the wicker prison.
The lord froze and turned pale.
“Who are you? What do you want?” he asked quietly.
“I have no name! I want food!”
“Gillette, give it some pork” he ordered.
She picked up a piece of salted pork and shoved it under the handle, which was torn apart almost as soon as it entered.
“Should we give it a name?” asked Felix.
“Let me think of one” said the lord. After standing frozen for a minute, he reanimated and said “Janus”.
“Janus?” asked Gillette.
“My name is Janus!” the dragon shouted.
This time everybody froze again. The lord came back to his senses the quickest.
“I would like the dragon brought up to my room” he ordered.
“Would you like anything else done?” asked Gillette.
“Yes. I’d like a philosopher here too, and a cage”.
He walked off, both worried and eager to find out the full implications of this discovery. His servants carried up the dragon behind him, which was squeaking from within its wicker prison. [/quote]

Also Japan was unified at this point.

Time to unify the HRE
imo this would be a little better without the dragons because East Asia now has a giant advantage.

Europeans also have their own interesting advantages.

There's no "Italy" but there are a number of Italian city-states and kingdoms ranging from the Papal states, Venice, Genoa, to some kingdoms and duchies.
why do we have dragons again
Can we get the dragons out please. I mean it's an interesting idea, but I feel this game would be better without them
i just don't see a reason why they're there, they didn't even change history at all apparently. it's just weird.

Its certainly much better than just another generic historical RP with nothing unique about it.
Besides, dragons can be used for a lot. I read a book called Temeraire, where it was just normal Napoleanic war times, the only difference is that it involved dragons. Fire-breathers could destroy an entire Navy if not properly equipped to deal with them, or they could be used to transport artillery, etc.
I mean, its better than just plain old history. Again.
I'm curious why people are only now realizing this game has dragons in it.
The title offers a very subtle clue.

That's really OP and unrealistic. I agree, we need something to spice up the RPs. But I personally don't believe dragons should be the substitute.

I mean in all honesty having Dragons at this time period would be like Game Of Thrones where as whoever has dragons controls the world

They're predominant in East Asia, no? If someone wanted to be a east Asian country, they could easily win wars in their favor with dragons.
