  • Aymara: The Aymara builds up its military, and expands 500 pixels to the west. Aymara also offers an alliance to the Incan Empire.
    • Incan Empire: We accept
  • Kingdom of France: A son is born to Charles VIII of France and Anne, Duchess of Brittany named Charles Orlando. If he survives to adulthood, he is expected to inherit both the Kingdom of France and Duchy of Brittany, uniting the two countries after a brief marital union. For diplomacy, we request a formal alliance with the powerful Ottoman Sultanate for various reasons. We also request an alliance with the German states of Brandenburg and Bavaria for the same various reasons (mods needed), and we propose a white peace with England, as we are at war once more. We also research more about gunpowder and its benefits in war. (Technology/Economy)
  • Austria: Stuff happens. The HRE continues to exist. Etc. We propose an alliance with England and/or France.
    • You would ally with a Habsubrg nation. Not France or England.
  • Incan Empire: With are new alliance with Aymara in place we begin expanding eastwards and into the Amazon, defeating tribes as we go along. We expand about 600 sq km (aprox). Nothing else happens.
    • Mesurment needs to be in pixels please.
  • Ottoman Empire: Sultan Bayezid II, now middle aged, rules over the house of Islam from the shining capital of Istanbul. The imperial court is filled with the social elite of the Divan and the Ulema, who represent the great noble houses throughout the empire. The most prominent of these is the Grand Visier, an office manned by Dawud Pasha this year. All of the Divan are very learnered scholars, who are famed for their great works of literature and art, as well as their contributions to astronomy and mathematics. Also in this imperial court are the eight sons of Bayezid, among whom Prince Selimshah has been named successor. All young men, they have completed their education and are placed in prominent positions in the government. Selimshah's wife, Ayshe Hatun, become pregnant this year with Bayezid's grandson. The population is estimated at 12 million at this time. The empire is administrated by a heirarchical structure of regional councils down to individual millets, which are overseen by local elders. The Sultan works to reform the goverment by expanding the Palace School into a public education system in Istanbul, and state Universities are also built both Athens and Ankara. The long-term plan is to institute a system of progressive achievment that could allow lower class citizens to achive political and military offices. The military is relatively small, of about 80,000 men, but is concentrated to an elite fighting force. The six calvary divisions, and the few hundred jannisaries, are bred for fighting from an early age. The Sultan hopes to expand the military by giving the same training to non-noble citizens. The navy is also greatly expanded, as it has been for many years, and now rises to the size of 80 galleys and 200 smaller vessals. The prominent admiral Kemal Ries is put in charge of the navy. The economy grows as the han caravans are utilized throughout anatolia. The Sultan accepts the alliance with France. Also, the Ottomans offer protection to the Kingdom of Morocco from Spain in exchange for access to the strait of Gibralter. 
    • Principality of Wallachia is currently ruled by Vlad IV the Monk, having taken the throne from his brother Vlad III the Impaler. constructs a major fort this year on a stategic hill in Transylvania. The military expands and sent to the border. Trade is offered to the Kingdom of Hungary. 
    • Principality of Moldavia is currenlty ruled by the aged Stephen III the Great, who greatly strengthens the nation in the face of influence from Hungary.
    • Khanate of Crimea is ruled by Menlil Girgay, recently appointed by the Sultan. A port is established on the city of Khortun (OTL Sevastapol), which is backed by the Ottoman navy from Istanbul. The miltary is expanded, especially the calvary, to match with the Tartars in the north. 
  • Crown of Castile: The Castilian Population stands at 8.4 million. Military manpower stands at 80,000 men, with one of the largest navies in the world backing them. The process of Intergration betwee Castile and Aragon continues, especially now with the end of the Reconquista and the conquering of Granada. The efforts to achieve Religous Homogenity continues, with the desicison being made to forcefully expell the Spanish Jews for Castile and Aragon if they fail to convert to Catholisisim. We ask for a non Agression Pact With France and an Alliance with Portugal. (Mil+Eco Turn)
    • ​Crown of Aragon (Personal Union with Castile): The crown of Aragon continues to grow, with a population of 2.6 million. Aragon focuses on it's navy, more so than Castile. The Military stands at 20,000 men. Intergreation between Castile and Aragon continues, with the ties between the two kingdoms solidifying. Mil+Eco Turn)
    • Crown of Granada (Personal Union/Vassal of Castile): A military force of 15,000 men remains active in the newly conquered kingdom. The process of expelling the Jews and Muslims from the Kingdom of Granada continues. Population stands at 1.1 million. A token Military force of 10,000 men is formed of men loyal to Castile. Mil+Eco Turn)
    • Kingdom of Naples (Vassal of Castile/Aragon): Naples continues to be a seperate entity from Castile and Aragon, a distinctly different culture from the two Iberian Kingdoms. Despite this, the nation remains loyal to Aragon and Castile for the time being. Poplation stands at 5.6 Million. The military stands at 45,000 men. Mil+Eco Turn)
    • French Diplomacy: We accept the offer for a non-aggression pact with Castile.
  • The Sanumá continue to expand along the Orinoco, bringing large amounts (200 px north) of it and the surrounding area under their control. Although the various chiefdoms are somewhat decentralized, the shamans of the various tribes, concerned at the high toll warfare between them is causing, issues an edict commanding that only warfare against other tribes will be tolerated, halting this type of conflict. The shamans decide to form a permanent body to address inter-chiefdom issues and threats, and create a body of 500 warriors to give this council power. Using this group, they construct a large new temple at Manamo to be the seat of the new council. Large-scale cultivation of plantains, sweet potatoes, and numerous other crops continues, with vast areas transformed into communal agroforests. The shamans, using public labour, create large new fish and turtle farms. Peccaries are also domesticated, and become increasingly popular. Influence is exerted on the Warao people to access the Orinoco lagoon and the rich shellfish beds there.

1493

Colombus Returns home from his voyage, telling of the new lands discovered. Portugal and Castile enter Stage 1 of colonization.

To the Inca Player: Right now you are expanding at about 30 pixels, which is puny.

  • Aymara: The Aymara builds up its military, and expands 500 pixels to the west. Meanwhile, a few new settlements are established.
    • Just as a heads up, you can expand by more than 500 pixels because it is your homeland.
  • Kingdom of France: We continue to research more effective ways of using gunpowder in combat, and we begin to improve the infrastructure of major French cities such as Paris and Bordeaux. In response to Columbus's apparent "discoveries", Charles VIII's court advisers quickly deny this to be true. But, Charles himself becomes rather interested in possibly developing a colony in so-called "India" later on. (Infrastructr/Technology)
  • Incan Empire: We continue are expansion, expanding 700 pixels eastwards each year into the Amazon, defeating different tribes as we go along. We continue to build are military. Trade booms with Aymara because we've got an alliance with them. A few new settlements are established.
  • Habsburg Netherlands: Mil and eco. Under the rule of Habsburg emperor Maximilian I, who is regent for Philip IV the fiefs and counties work on the infrastructure of their main cities, Brugge, Brussel, Den Haag, Rotterdam and Gent. Word reaches the regent about Columbus's discoveries, and he gains ambitions to create a colony. Trade is offered to France and England.
  • French Diplomacy: We accept the offer for trade.
  • The Sanumá continue to expand along the Orinoco, bringing large amounts (500 px north) of it and the surrounding area under their control, as more land is turned into agroforests and brought under the indirect control of the Shamans' Council. Large-scale cultivation of plantains, sweet potatoes, and numerous other crops continues, with vast areas transformed into communal agroforests. Although a famine occurs this year after drought causes a crop die-off, the new large scale cultivation of fish, turtles and peccaries, combined with the Shamans' new army, prevents the disintegration of order. When chiefs prove unable to keep order, many bands attach themselves to the Shamans' Council instead. Influence is exerted on the Warao people to access the Orinoco lagoon and the rich shellfish beds there.

    Sorry for the lateness.

    The expansion rate is per nation, not per direction. If you have two vassals, they can both expand at 1,000 pixels. If you have just yourself, you can only expand at 1,000 pixels per turn.

    Following first contact with the Europeans, native populations begin to dwindle from disease. The Tainos are left at only 25% of their original population.

    The Dutch and French enter Stage 1 of colonization. Spain and Portugal enter Stage 2 as Columbus completes his third expedition, discovering South America.

    I have added a new rule: Vassals, if they are able too, may create colonies indpendetly of the main nation. If the Vassal goes free, then the colonies of the Vassal go to the Vassal. If the Vassal is Annexed, the colony goes to the mother nation.

Marquette eventually lands in OTL Nova Scotia, and names the general area "New France". He establishes a trade port in OTL Halifax named Rennes after the Breton town of the same name, and eventually returns to Paris and is named the first official Governor of New France. Later on in the year, more settlers are brought into Rennes. (Infrastructure/Expand)
      • New France (more specifically Rennes): The trading port of Rennes instantly expands 100 pixels into OTL Nova Scotia. The local Mi'kmaq tribesmen is at first weary of the settlers, but eventually trade with them after the food supply became low after a month since establishment. The settlers focus on creating an infrastructure and a stable economy in the colony. (Infrastructure/Economy)

We welcome them for trade and peace in peace if they come nearby. We continue having brilliant trade with Aymara. We continue to build are military.

    Habsburg Netherlands: Inf and eco. The first expedition is sent out to the New World, landing at OTL Manhattan, which is called Nieuw-Nederland. The area of OTL New York City is named Nieuw-Rotterdam. We continue improving the infrastructure. Philip IV has come of age and thus now rules our lands. Settlers are then sent to Nieuw-Rotterdam. 

    • Nieuw-Nederland: Nieuw-Rotterdam is constructed and expands 100px into Manhattan. We hunt beavers and rabbits for their fur and, while the natives are weary of us, we do trade with the natives. Smaller expeditions of single boats are sent around the area to surrounding islands, discovering and naming several islands such as Noteneiland(OTL Governors Island) and Boseiland(OTL Staten Island). These islands aren't settled yet but plans are made to settle on them. Nieuw-Nederland(as in the island) is explored and we find out that it's an island. The natives aren't hostile however they do not trust us.

    Austria:''' inf and eco. We ask to ally with Habsburg Netherlands to establish an outpost near the powers of France and Britain. We also ask to ally with the Hungarians. We also try to embark on a expedition to colonize the New World. A 5-ship strong force is assembled. (if I have no coast I didn't know the map doesn't show Europe)

    • You pretty much own the Habsuburg Netherlands. and you don't have any major ports. Kill Venice and you have a massive port.

Large-scale cultivation of plantains, sweet potatoes, and numerous other crops continues, with vast areas transformed into communal agroforests. Although a famine occurs this year after drought causes a crop die-off, the new large scale cultivation of fish, turtles and peccaries, combined with the Shamans' new army, prevents the disintegration of order. When chiefs prove unable to keep order, many bands attach themselves to the Shamans' Council instead. Influence is exerted on the Warao people to access the Orinoco lagoon and the rich shellfish beds there.

    Ottoman Empire: Sultan Bayezid II, now middle aged, rules over the house of Islam from the shining capital of Istanbul. Prince Sulayman continues to be well educated in the Palace School. The population is estimated at 12 million at this time. The Sultan works to reform the goverment by expanding the Palace School into a public education system in Istanbul, and state Universities are also built both Athens and Ankara. The long-term plan is to institute a system of progressive achievment that could allow lower class citizens to achive political and military offices. The Sultan hopes to also expand the military by giving the same training to non-noble citizens. The navy is also greatly expanded, as it has been for many years, and now rises to the size of 100 galleys and 250 smaller vessals. The prominent admiral Kemal Ries is put in charge of the navy. The economy grows as the han caravans are utilized throughout anatolia. The military is advanced by adding artilary such as morters and great bombards. Admiral Piri Ries hears of Columbus' voyage and petitions the Sultan to explore the Atlantic. Bayezid puts such an endevor on hold, concentrating instead on enhancing the navy in the mediterranean. With the city of Venice taken, and the Venician navy destroyed, the Ottomons annex all of the Balkan islands into the empire. Crete and Cyprus are established as Ottoman vassals. We give Austria eastern Venezia to give them an Adriatic port. The city itself is made a vassal of France.
