Heres the deal. Its 1000 CE and the world is a grim dark place. Fiefdoms and Kingdoms dot the maps of the time. You pick a piece of land to rule as your own. Try to find the populations during the time period. I don't care if you use elves, trolls, etc. just no magic. No godmoding! And no acts of god! You can create your own creatures and religions. You can make up weapons but nothing to far in the future...remember plate armor still isnt used by knights(1200's) and steel hasnt been perfected(1350's).

Hey, those Zulus were nobody to fuck with, African nations were very good at working with iron, and those assegais of theirs are some nasty shit.

OOC: trying to play Gustavus Adolphus are we?There's that thing called scandinavianism that might affect my choice of nation.

i thinkhe said it would be interesting because theyrenot on the euro continent

Well, he is a national hero, and then there's that thing called scandinavianism.

Beware captain Gars if you use Gustav II Adolf (Gars: Gustavus Adolphus Rex Suiciea(sp?)) he's a madman, it is known.

Hi. I've never tried one of these before, but it looks like fun. If you'll have me, that is, I'll take China as the Empire of China.
I might need to watch for a little bit to get the hang of it but I'm a quick study.

Seeing as how anything goes so to speak, May I have England for the Empire of Highlander Warriors?

you got it its really not that hard if u know history...maybe wikipidea your nation for the time period and find out whats going on

Japan as the Empire of Japan, thank you very much.

you got it its really not that hard if u know history...maybe wikipidea your nation for the time period and find out whats going on

Thank you! I did a little research, and it appears I picked a fortunate country at a fortunate time in its history. Pinnacle of Human Civilization, invention of Gunpowder, etc. Awesome.

lol..yea i forgot about that when goving you it...but thats ok i have submissive people who bend to my will plus iron coal oil wood and grain

OOC: Ok I'm curious. If I were to be like Australia or Zululand or Brazil, would I have to be culturally like them? Or can I build boats and colonize Europe! Otherwise, I'll be boring and be Northern Italy.

culturaly alike but u can have fishing boats and in like 10 rp years 20 rl days

lol..yea i forgot about that when goving you it...but thats ok i have submissive people who bend to my will plus iron coal oil wood and grain

lol yes those submissive russians. But I have no fear, your armies or iron and wood will be lulled to sleep by my ever comfortable silk. And tea, god help you if you forget tea.

mmm fishing boat armada

I'll take Germany as The Germanian Empire

lol yes those submissive russians. But I have no fear, your armies or iron and wood will be lulled to sleep by my ever comfortable silk. And tea, god help you if you forget tea.

As byzantium I control wether or not the tea even gets there, I have de facto control of the tea and silk trades (insert evil laughter)

Well, I would kindof be on my own then wouldn't I. Hmm...

So, first blood is not nearly as important as last blood, remember, trade works both ways, I can cut you off from metal and food from europe, and my metal and food is more important than silk and tea.

Ok. I wanna do something fun like be aborigines, but that would suck if I didn't make any contact :( Any ideas?

Indeed. You have final say so, but you forgo the wealth of taxing the trade if you stop it.

Be the zulus and head for the middle east, that would let you make contact and still be an aboriginal people(who also had some kick-ass spears)

Hi. I'll take the Netherlands, which I will name "The Kingdom of Kha-Rar", and which I will populate with something very random, such as goblins.

OOOH! Could I be the Berbers? That means Morocco Algeria and Tunisia. Actually, I want to be the Berber Caliphate of Morocco. Someone better hope they aren't Spain :)

The Swdish population was around 600 000 in 1350, so I'm guessing 3 to 400 000 in 1000 AD.

Umm... It's Parthini with Morocco. Kroi has China. I think that's enough.

Anyone good at reading really small graphs?

I got one for China's population, with 1000 AD on the graph, but I can't really make a call. What do you guys think? 50 Mil? 80 Mil?

http://www.inquit.com/images/42.gif

What empires are left that i can fill in as?? Dont worry Philanchez, i wont argue with Vineyard on this on!!! The WWII one was my first! :)

Compromise - 65mil!

80 Mil me thinks.

So when are we gonna start RPing...?

80 Mil me thinks.

I'll average at 70 mil. That seems fair and accurate enough.

Philancez isnt here, (im in charge right now) so as far as i can tell just make one up and choose a location (check the map of my last post for places). Try something original like not europe

So when are we gonna start RPing...?
not sure, as far as i can tell tommarow, either that or in 6 hours (cant start without philancez)

The Empire of Frozen Lakes - Iceland/Greenland, the big one near Canada....u should know which one i mean!! Is that ok or is it a bit far out??

Sounds gud. How could it be better??? Med heat?! Thanks man....we strtn 2mrw?

Is that a bit far out of the game, because if it is i can be like the rebuilt Empire of Carthago - north africa. which would be better???

Tunisia Algeria and Morroco are already gone though, so that's a good part of the Empire of Carthage.

Besides, you could be an Inuit empire, a tribal confederation maybe, if you want to keep it more historically realistic? Or you could just do what you want and skrew history!

Well I meant an empire of Inuits - the Native Americans who lived in N Canada, Alaska and I beleive Greenland as well. Tribal, relatively primitive, but experts at survival in those harsh climates. I'd bet they could hold off an invasion quite well, if that is your style.

Defense instead of offense, sounds like my kinda guys, put me down for Canada and Alaska aswell if you think it if feasable. Thanks! Ill go with the Inuit Empire
