1432[]

  • Portugal builds port Granada on the territory in California belonging to Portugal. Trade begins to lower in Portugal as there has not been much contact with the outside world. On the silk road Portuguese traders manage to bring back goods into Portugal after an inspection for plague. A rogue trader accidentally brings plague into the silk road and into China. The person is lost in China. The President begins a program on inward expansion in America and sets out to create trails on its colonies. The Sandy Road begins construction in Morocco, the Great Road begins in California, the Coastal Road begins in Colombia. Minor trails begin in South Africa, India, and Songhay.
  • England works with China to stop the plague as fast as possible. Not much can be done, however, as many people are infected. England asks Portugal to accept a free-trade agreement and England offers to make roads. A major one is started in English Carolina, and England hopes to connect it to the Great Road. England also proposes to create a African road along the western coast of Africa. The English Moroccan colony starts building the road. England expands its Carolina colony inward, and also expands its Indian colony. A colony is started in OTL central Brazil, and a small colony in Nigeria starts.
  • The Ottoman Colony in India grows. The plague hits Baghdad hard, killing hundreds of people. The government manages to stop the plague with their best doctors, but by the time they do, almost 4000 are dead.
  • How to stop the plague?
  • Portugal and England already divided India, so get off our claims
  • The Italian colony in Florida grows. The Natchez are absorbed as a protectorate. A primitive version of the smallpox vaccine is discovered largely by accident in Italy. Although it doesn't help with the plague, it will be important in the future.
  • The Papal States opens a less elite, but still disciplined guard (called the Papal Volunteer Guard) open to anyone who is male, over 18 years of age, Catholic, has no criminal record, and non-married. Nearly 30,000 join the new PVG (even though it says volunteer they get paid)
  • Aragon begins to works to stop the plague, though the best they can do is herbal remedies and closing borders off and burning bodies.
  • Mongolia finishes rebuilding things destroyed by the tsunami. However, unrest in the country leads to violence. The Crimean Expansion (Western Armies of Mongolia) tries to contact European nations. To end this year off on a bad note, the Khan is assassinated. A council of three becomes the leadership of the Mongolians for a while. The council seems to be a more peaceful leadership.
  • Brandenburg tries using secular methods to find a cure (according to the charter, secular methods could find out what was incited by God in order to alleviate symptoms)

1433[]

  • Portugal begins developing new sciences and tries using herbal remedies to try and ward off the plague. The Great Road in California begins to expand eastward no reaching into Nevada and Portugal has begun to branch off in Arizona as well. Small posts have been set up on the trail. In South America the Coastal road stretches towards the Brazilian coast. Small ports and outposts begin to be set up on the roads. The Portuguese continue to aid the Incas and Mayans. Portugal expands their navy and army at the time.
  • Brandenburg expands their Indian colony to include Calcutta, as well as increasing funding for the sciences
  • Hooray! Everybody steal Portugal and England's land claim!
  • the Pope calls on Europe to become more devout Christians, and if they do God will take away the plague. Many people across Europe begin to visit churches more and surprisingly the plague victims amounts actually drop by 2%
  • Aragon tries to find medicine to stop the plague, but they are all ineffective and actually seem to make the plague victim amounts go up, not down. Even so, most doctors continue with the ineffective ways (whipping themselves, herbs, etc), and the nation begins to turn to the Church for help instead.
  • Ottoman doctors find out a way to stop the Plague. They first prick the patient on the arm, then apply a sort of herbal mixture to the wound for several minutes. Meanwhile, Sultan Murad II decides to expand Constantinople. New neighborhoods are built, and the Hagia Sophia is converted into a mosque and renamed the Blue Mosque. The largest university in the world is built, called the Al-Barriye University. The Ottomans also expand further into Persia.
  • You cannot do that! The cure for the Plague was found hundreds of years later!
  • Er... the plague is caused by tick bites. You haven't stopped new people from being infected, and you won't be able to help all plague suffers anyway.
  • Italia has given up on solving the plague, instead preferring to wait it out. The few remaining "hotspots" of the disease in Italy are quarantined, and trade continues to be shut down. Meanwhile, a brief Aztec rebellion is put down.

1434[]

  • Aragon is beginning to restore order now that the bulk of the plague has moved east. However, there are still many victims, including the queen and princess. Luckily, the King was not infected.
  • The Ottomans are still being affected by the plague, but not in any of the major cities, just some villages. Sultan Murad II continues to expand Constantinople, the part of the city in Asia expands. The navy founds a colony in Somalia.
  • England, having avoided the worst of the plague, greatly expands their India colony. By now the entire western coast of India is under firm English control. England conducts talks with Portugal on whether to go to war with Brandenburg or not. Another small colony is founded in OTL eastern Bangladesh. The rest of the colonies under English control expand slightly. They also expand their North American colony north along the coast, reaching the Chesapeake Bay.
  • Brandenburg calls for peace, noting that their colony predates the English-Portuguese split of India. They promise not to advance further
  • Ummm.. you set up your colony after the split. the split was in 1426, your colony was set up in 1429
  • Italia continues to recover from the plague.
  • The Mongolian Civil war continues to escalate. Violence is everywhere and heroes are on both sides. Both armies are hell bent and have fearsome motivation that is unseen in Europe. Neither side shows signs of giving up.
  • The roads in California and Colombia are proving a big success. the Great Road has already expanded into Colorado and New Mexico. Small three-building towns are being set up at former forts along the road. Portugal also considers setting up an India Pact with other European Nations and the Ottoman Empire. Portugal continues to recover from the plague.

1435[]

  • Portugal expands the Great road into Kansas and Texas. The Portuguese bulk up their navy and armies.
  • The Ottomans continue to build up their navy.
  • Brandenburg expands their Pacific colony and their Atlantic colony

They will soon expand their empire and work their way through all of Europe, unless...

  • Portugal expands their navy and army.
  • Aragon begins experimenting with ways to stop the invaders.
  • Brandenburg chases the invaders out of Poland-Lithuania, claiming Warsaw for themselves.
  • The Ottoman's expand their colony in Somalia. Meanwhile, Sultan Murad II invades Afghanistan with 40,000 men.
  • Hey, is someone gonna make a new map soon?

  • Portugal expands the Great Road to reach all the way to Lake Michigan. A small fort is set up at the end of the road in OTL Chicago. Several small Portuguese towns in Colorado fail. The Portuguese launch an invasion of Sicily in order to get a good spot for its navy. By the end of the year the west coast of Sicily has fallen to Portugal's navy although Portugal has suffered severe losses. Portugal begins to infiltrate Sicily's government and set up their own puppet Government. Portugal continues to expand its navy and army.
  • By now, Brandenburg exerts control over an area from OTL south Alaska all the way to north California on the Pacific, and from Nova Scotia to Manhattan on the Atlantic.

Italy accepts the KUs offer (2 000 000 koronas). Italy amps up its ground forces and fleet. Italy makes school free to children aged 6 to 15 and offers all students a free school lunch mostly made out of potatoes and corn from the Americas. All local languages are legal in in Italy but Italian must be taught in all schools. Schools are built in every town with more than 1000 people with government funding for starters.

The KU quickly summons an army from the Middle East and Central Asia. In a devastating battle of Novgorod 60% of the rebel army is killed, injured or captured and the city falls to the KU. The KU condemns this act of rebellion and war against it and calls for Italia's help to destroy this rebellion. An army of 500,000 march towards Moscow and smaller armies to other major rebel cities.

It'd take more than a year for troops to march from the Middle East and Central Asia to Finland. Also, are you mad? 500,000 soldiers on 1469? That's more than the Kalmar population I think.

I have Asia...

1469.

They say that they only want to be free. They ask for the protection of the Italians. A sheik is throned in Jerusalem, and he calls his people to arms, to prepare to fight off a possible KU counterattack.

The KU attack the Arabian Union in the east and north driving them back out of OTL Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria. The KU will allow the Arabian Union to keep all the land of OTL Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and the UAE in return for an alliance. This is because the KU wishes not to fight another bloody war.

1479[]

Spurred on by some of the success of the Arabian Union, as well as the thinly spread forces of the two great empires, independence movements in China, Germany, France, India, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Ethiopia, Siam, and all throughout North Africa and Central Asia. With the armies of the Kalmar Union and Italy at this point made up almost entirely of conscripts from their conquered lands, this causes divisions within their armies, which begin infighting. The American colonial governors clamp down and attempt to keep news of this from spreading, which effectively keeps the American colonies from rebelling as well, but with the disruption of trade with Europe, the colonies are forced to become more and more self reliant as well as reliant on the native populations for survival. With their armies spread thin and fractured, and such vast distances between territories, there is little hope the empires can maintain their size and their only hope is to consolidate power within their own cultural boundaries.

Italy understands that there is little to do, and since the countries will gain independence, Italy wants to keep a good relationship with them. Still there are people an soldiers loyal to the Italian invaders due to their liberal government. Italy lets most countries gain independence but with its own army and loyalists it keep southern France and North-East Spain, as well as it's land in eastern Europe. There are little problems in OTL Australia and New Zealand but in Australia the vast deserts are hard to controll and there is now law in the desert. Central and Southern Africa are kept as well as parts of the North African coast. In The Americas the Italian army, with the help of the Aztecs, concentrates in keeping the most populated areas.

The KU are forced to lose India and Siam. Heavy crackdowns on protestors destroy the independence movement in China, Central Asia and Germany. Control of Madagascar is also lost. Troops push into the Arabian Union and take OTL Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Iraq and Kuwait.

After laying low for a bit, to lure the KU off their guard as they deploy their troops to crush the other rebellions, the Middle East rises up again, with more stockpiles of weapons, including Greek Fire, and arquebuses. The KU is driven out again. The Sheik, who retakes his throne, promises his people that they will never be under the rule of the KU again. He reiterates his plea for Italian protection, and begins setting up massive defenses on his border with the KU.In a secret plot, assassins kill the KU leadership, in the hopes that the internal turmoil will give them time to secure their position.

Well, I give up. I've been trying to push this game back into something somewhat realistic, but I guess that's just not going to happen.Oerwinde 08:10, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

Sick of the constant warfare and the cost in both manpower and gold for subjugating half the world, Sweden elects a new king outside the Kalmar Union's succession, splitting the union, and recalls all its troops. Being the most populous kingdom in the Union, this effectively robs the union of most of its Scandinavian troops. Civil war erupts in the North American colonies between Swedish and Danish-Norwegian settlers. When the dust settles, Sweden controls its traditional borders in Sweden and Finland, as well as the depopulated (from the cleansing after the Ural uprising)Russia and the sparsely populated Siberia, while Denmark-Norway keeps a fragmented North America. Both countries are exhausted from war and over extension and unable to maintain their control over the rest of the world. The collapse of its major trading partner also causes major strain on Italy's empire.

Italy is also sick of wars and suggests the forming of the United Nations and invites Sweden, the KU and Japan to join, as well as France, Spain, Portugal, Greece and England, and of course any other countries that are willing to join and wanted to join.

Do I get to be invited? Azecreth 18:26, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, welcome. Remdello


The new map, that I, Remdello did, the countries borders are a rough estimate, so please correct any errors and inform me.

Why did Japan lose land in Mainland China? There was no rebellions within Japan at all....

Yes there was, it said that there ae rebellions in China, and since Japan didn't do anything...

I thought rebellions was only in the KU-controlled China. I didn't know there were also rebellions in Japan's part of China. Guess I'd should have paid attention more next time, sorry, my mistake.

Of course it can be conquered back but since the anti-war situation well, it's up to you, Italy will give its support in case you decide to attack,

I'll decide to invade and take the same chunk of China that I had earlier then. If anything happens, I'll try to think of something.

Never mind, I think I will wait until the anti-war situation cools down, then I will try and re-invade China again.

{C}Seeing that it has been over 20 years since its declaration of independence and nothing has happened, the British Empire begins to completely overhaul its armed forces and navy as well as offering alliances to the Inca

Denmark retains a stronger navy than Sweden and blockade the Baltic Sea, Norway joins the UN. Norway fortifies its long border with Sweden.

The Arabian Union politely refuses Italy's offer, as they lack a navy able to reach Western Europe. Reconstruction continues, and they move into the unoccupied land to the East.

Britain offers Union to France and states that it will withdraw from everything except Normandy. British troops in France begin to fortify the Normandy area in case the have to fall back to that area. Fortifications are built on the home islands as as on the coast.

The Arabian Union reiterates their desire to purchase the remaining Italian lands on the Anatolian Peninsula, so they can be unified with all their brothers. Islam is made the official state religion, and construction begins on a new network of roads to link all the major cities of the Union. Expansion into the unclaimed land to the East continues. They agree to an alliance with the Anglo-Frankish Union.

France accepts the offer of Union with Britain and together they form the Anglo-Frankish Union with its capital at London. British troops begin to withdraw from France now that it is part of the Empire which is now a Union. The colonies of Anglo-Frankish Colombia and Oregon are established in OTL British Colombia and Oregon while Liberia and Anglo-Frankish West Africa are established on Africa's West Coast and OTL Liberia. Colonists from the Anglo-Frankish Union begin to flow into these new colonies. Another colony is established in Ethiopia.

Italy and Japan will not attack, but if France desires to leave the union and Britain has something against it, the UN will be on France's side.

Italy expands its land in the Americas and starts building fishing ports in the coasts of every ocean in the world, and the Mediterranean.

Italy agrees to sell the land coloured dark blue in the following map, state your offer.

The Arabian Union will pay 2000 gold pieces for the land. An extra thousand will be given if the Italians agree to give us the rest of the land as well.

Denmark colonies the rest of Canada. Troops invade and take the island of Singapore.

I'm leaving this map game due to the continuous level of implausibility it has. I am starting the last year of senior high school in a few days and that means less time for althist so I had to cut a few things. Scandinator 23:14, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

1487[]

Sweden retaliates with reinforcements from Finland and Russia annihilating the Danish army that has become complacent during the long siege of Stockholm. This leaves the rest of Denmark helpless and Lithuania and the other Baltic countries break away and ally themselves with Sweden. Sweden however doesn't push into Denmark but instead fortifies the Scania coast and pushes into Norway. With Norwegian troops having been used in the army attacking Stockholm, Norway has little defenses and surrenders. Sweden, sick of war only demands that Norway break its union with Denmark. Norwegian parliament agrees and Norway becomes independent. With this decisive victory, Sweden begins a 50 year era of peace.

Massive assaults begin by Muslim armies, and Italian Anatolia falls to the AU forces, who also move into Egypt, passing the line of the Nile, seizing Cairo after a bloody fight, and occupying over 2/3rds of the country.

Italy sends tens of thousands of troops to protect Constantinople, Italian forces reconquer Egypt up to the nile and offer a truce to the AU.

The AU refuses. Soldiers launch a counterattack, using their most powerful weaponry, Greek Fire, and guns. They drive the Italians back from the Nile, and using the momentum gained, and the power of their faith to motivate them, they totally occupy Egypt. They urge Muslims in North Africa to rise up against their Italian masters, and join their brothers in an islamic union.

Why are you double posting? And how does the AU 'urge 'the Muslims in the Italian North America, can I remind you that there are no radios or telephones.

The North African coast is recaptured, the siege of Jerusalem begins and half of the city is taken, and half of the Anatolian peninsula is taken.

The Sheik launches a counterattack, with his soldiers fighting for all they believe in, and for their homes. The siege of Jerusalem is broken. Fortifications are built to protect the Dardanelles from invasion. Instead of destroying the beachheads in North Africa, the AU troops swing around them, and move into Libya, while leaving a large force in Egypt to counter any moves they might make. Most of Southern Libya falls.
