Colonialisation. A forum RP. Try not to catch Malaria. - Games

Does anybody wanna convert the 1581 map for me? (Adding in this game to it) I cba to do a map overhaul as such.

Making turn now

Got a new idea: Keep the old map and focus on the Americas, the original point of the game. Adding more will bog down the game in unnecessary crap.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;35970141]Got a new idea: Keep the old map and focus on the Americas, the original point of the game. Adding more will bog down the game in unnecessary crap.[/QUOTE] Can we keep Japan though please?

I wonder when someone is going to start a war? This is facepunch, It's only a matter of time.

You already missed the hispano-luso-french-english war

Damn, Really. Someone, Start a new war.

Prepare your coastal cities.

I got Cannons, Come at me

The Conglomerate will grow larger.

Time to split from the crown, Form a fascist republic and storm across America killing every thing that doesn't accept my beliefs. Then I will turn my sights to the rest of the planet. Then the stars.

I think I will remove stuff outside of America, but compensate by allowing (wise) people to jump on the possible start of an industrial revolution of the 17th century. (Since agricultural and scientific revolutions are already underway.) Also new goal idea. The first company/colony to declare independence, and survive will win the game. Players who collaborate can get joint place I guess.

America is already full

Has everyone sent their turns in?

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;35970768]America is already full[/QUOTE] Not really, minus the former native empires, most players have barely 100,000 people in their colonies overall. You could technically start a colony in any province if you wanted.

Everything's already claimed, you can't do shit withouyt declaring war on something

So be it.

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;35970797]Everything's already claimed, you can't do shit withouyt declaring war on something[/QUOTE] Then I revoke that. People can settle anywhere, and depending on who has majority control of the province, they "own" it. Declare war or kill people or culturally assimilate them if you don't want em in, I don't care. I want to keep this game on its original focus of the Americas.

So, do our explorers forgte there's such thiung as the4 dutch indies or india?

Anyone up for some jolly Cooperation

So, all I need to do is make my America an independent country but keep the support and everything like it was just one country to win? :v:

[QUOTE=Liem;35971666]Canada is mine.[/QUOTE] Not if I reach it first.

I can rule 2 different countries at once, right?

Ok here is the plan: The most powerful nation/company/etc will will the game in 1700 if nobody declares independence and successfully holds themselves. Declaring independence is one step, in order to become a fully fledged country, you need to be recognised by all major countries along with the country you rebelled from as an independent entity. Also bear in mind you can use diplomacy. Had it not been for the French, Prussians and Spanish, there would be no USA. This approach will help focus the game on the Americas, and get things running smoothly. If you guys do well, you might be able to start the industrial revolution in the mid 17th century. That is you take advantage of an invention of the late 1580s.

India removed from the map. EVENTS OF 1580-1584 -The Netherlands declare independence, and make public worship of Catholicism illegal. -Russia conquers the Khanate of Sibir. -The Chancellor of China, Zhang Juzheng, imposes the Single Whip Reform, by which taxes are assessed on properties recorded in the land census and paid in silver as the accepted medium of exchange. -Russia cedes Estonia and Livonia to Poland-Lithuania. -During this time, most Catholics adopt the Gregorian calender. -Oda Nobunga dies, his place taken by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he goes on to continue uniting Japan. -The first private newspaper is published, in Beijing. -Ivan the Terrible dies, replaced by his son Feodor. (He killed his other son in an argument.) -William I of Orange is assassinated, and to make matters worse, the Dutch lose Ghent to the Spanish. -Archangelsk is founded in northern Russia. -The Mughal emperor introduces freedom of religion. Scientific and technological events. -The Gregorian calender is introduced by the pope, seeking to correct the gradual drifting of the days, it being 11 minutes out of the correct time. This new calender is instantly adopted by Spain, Poland-Lithuania, Portugal, the Italian city states and France. -Urbain Hémand investigates the anatomy of the teeth. -Thomas Fincke's Geometria rotundi is published, introducing the terms tangent and secant for trigonometric functions. -Completion of Tycho Brahe's subterranean observatory at Stjerneborg. -Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer publishes the first atlas of nautical charts, Spieghel der zeevaerdt (Mariner's Mirror). -Academy of Sciences established in Lucca. -Wagons with sails in them are described by Westerners living in China. -An early guillotine is invented in Scotland.

[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2b/Flag_of_Milan.svg/300px-Flag_of_Milan.svg.png[/img] [b]Kingdom of England and Ireland – Liem[/b] -Roman Catholicism is banned in England. -The Spanish try an abortive attempt at invading Ireland with several hundred men, invited by the Irish. They fail and most of them are executed. -Several plots are attempted against the queen, some of which involve assassinating her and invading England. She calmly responds by executing random people and kicking out the Spanish ambassador. -England becomes much more hostile towards the Spanish. Both hire privateers to raid each others shipping. Francis Drake gets knighted for stealing everything the Spanish didn't have nailed down, and the nails. -William Lee becomes sexually frustrated with the fact his wife won't stop knitting in order that he may put his seed into her. [b][I]New England – Liem[/I][/b] -Various natural philosophers and artists are requested to begin studies into birds. Sketches and detailed diagrams are made of the wings, along with the anatomies of the birds in an attempt to figure out how these things stay aloft. -The colonies begin to expand northwards, as the fishing grounds become gradually more crowded and new ones are south out. Fur trappers likewise head north in the quest for pelts. -Other colonies are requested to form an alliance with this one. The Danish colonies accept, due to their proximity and close trading ties. -Work into gun wagons, similar to those in the Hussite wars is begun. Some early stagecoach-like wagons are stocked with power, shot and large bore muskets. They are horribly cumbersome though, and the horses vulnerable.

Dr Insy.[/b] -The first documented battle of Indians against a European colonial ruler is fought by the Desais of Cuncolim in Goa, against the Portuguese. -The King of Portugal establishes a new dynasty, along with major political and social reforms that put it on the same footing as England. The main difference however is the religion, with the pope holding some significant influence over Portugal still. [img]http://www.niggaupload.com/images/n0EQb.png[/img] [b][I]Companhia das Quinas Americanas - Mountainwatcher[/I][/b] -A statue is built to commemorate the “Acrimonious Ackerly”. -A statue of the King, sitting on a chair made of statues of the French Governors is built and sent to the French. Inscribed on the crown is “Remember me”. -Requests are made to expand into California, despite it already being claimed. Similar attempts are made to colonise the Dutch island, despite the fact no Dutchmen are in the New World. -There is greater success in the expansion of fortifications in Mesoamerica, and setting up ports to allow for navies to resupply in the area. -A large amount of money is gifted to Cienia, for their work in helping the new monarch. -The small silly army used to annoy the French is dressed in pirate clothes. -The Europa conglomerate manager has some thread and a needle sent to him. His daughter uses it to repair her dolly. -Portuguese expansion continues in India, but from here on it is managed by the crown rather than the company, which only really focuses in the New World. -The new English ship design is utilised by the Portuguese, after some blueprints and plans are bought. Construction of some Razees (A ship with the upper decks removed) begins. [img]http://www.niggaupload.com/images/YnSlx.jpg[/img] [b][I]Cienia of Niesmiertelni - Dr Insy[/I][/b] -The new king of Portugal is congratulated, and is sent a quantity of Japanese woodcuts featuring a woman engaged in bestiality with an octopus. The inquisition confiscates it, and it is hidden in some paperwork explaining how to punish paedophile clergymen. -Farms and mines are expanded in the colonies, with a large amount of supplies produced here to be sent to Japan. -Oda Nobungas successor continues to work with the Portuguese, and together they utilise the navy to slowly crush his rivals and establish hegemony over the seas. -The city of Kagoshima, and some surrounding lands is given to the Portuguese as an enclave.

They fail, and opt on sending spies instead, a large number of whom are caught by the authorities. -Privateers are hired by the Spanish for use against the English. -Philip decides that something should probably be done about the English thorn, who helped the Dutch to independence. -The Spanish begin to use their money to assemble large armed forces, and begins to send military aid to the French Catholics. [b][i]New Spain – Hell Kyrone[/i][/b] -Scouts filter throughout the whole of the Americas, mapping the unknown and buying maps of the known from locals or surveying the land. Maps are becoming more accurate with time, one of the most significant being that California is not an island. -There is an attempt to find an uninhabited island in the Caribbean. So when they realise they cannot find any, the Spanish instead opt to internally colonise Haiti and the rest of their possessions with colonists and slaves, ever since the native workforce died off Santo Domingo was plunged into poverty. -There is a lot of expansion into sugar and coffee plantations, along with grains in Mexico to help the growing population. -The metal industry in Mexico expands. The presence of both silver and mercury is most beneficial. -Privateer raids slacken in the Spanish colonies slightly, and they begin to come here to sell their booty instead. English privateers are the only ones left who attack Spanish shipping. [img]http://www.niggaupload.com/images/EKPGT.png[/img] [b][i]The Europa Trade Conglomerate – Canuhearme[/i][/b] -The Indian possessions come under increasing control of the crown, especially due to the Mughal Emperor using his power to restrict expansion of the company here. -Recruitment of colonists from Spain gradually slows, but some people still emigrate to escape the dreadful life of late 16th century Iberia. -Veterans of the Dutch and Spanish are bought to help train the colonial army, utilising some of Prince Maurice’s reforms. They are treated with scepticism. -A rather insulting poem is sent to the King of Spain, asking why he is mad along with a box of confectioneries. He treats it as an elaborate joke. -Explorers move up into the Midwest further still, and discover a lot of other rivers nobody really cares about. -The Spanish colonise the Falkland islands, and almost immediately the French who ignored it for the best part of 80 years are shocked by this. Forts and fishing villages begin construction posthaste. -Using experience from the Dutch revolt, the army is remodelled, along with the navy after some English ship designs mysteriously make their way here. -New Orleans is renamed New Madrid, amid a lot of celebration among the ruling classes. -Coffee and tobacco houses begin to be set up in the colonies for the educated to mingle in. These seedy places soon become hotbeds of radical ideas such as equality or freedom. -The company attempts to trade with the Netherlands, but this fails due to diplomatic issues. They both resolve to trade at a meeting point in Northern Germany instead. -The midwest colonies expand, the relative abundance of food being particularly helpful in encouraging population growth.

[b][i]New France – Ruskie[/i][/b] -The colony swings to be Protestant, and actively supports Henry of Navarre as the rightful King. -The economy continues to gradually grow into a standard European one (With a lot of spare land and loose governance) with agriculture and manufacturing. The timber shortage is being gradually alleviated, but the lack of iron prevents industrial development much further. -15 men are sent to the King of Portugal to call him a “Exasperated Epaminondas”. -The slave trade is highly profitable for the French as usual, so much so that the New World is rapidly becoming an extension of Africa. -Trade with other colonies and the European countries becomes quite popular, especially with the Dutch. [b]Ecological/Economic/Social/etc events[/b] -Sedan chairs start to become popular in Europe as a means of getting around. -New world crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, maize, pumpkins and the such have now become widely common throughout all of Europe. -Despite laws passed in many countries, seeing the perceived or real harms of tobacco, smuggling of the drug is big business in Europe. -The stagecoach starts to become more common around this time. -Fireworks displays and the glass eye become widely known/used throughout Europe. -Alchemistry is slowly becoming more popular. -The thaler (A type of currency) is becoming more popular in Europe. -The Indians, along with most native plant and animal life in the Caribbean that failed to adapt to the new conditions, are now extinct or critically endangered. -Warfare is changing again. Units are becoming slowly smaller, and drill is now being more gradually used, with the average soldier relying less on the herd mentality of earlier medieval armies.
