I agree with Darth's new colonization rule. Thanks for doing the maps @darthdj31 @UnitRico I would be glad to open trade routes.
Here is another one for Bart and Uberutaku001 Ireland, Ankara, andIsle of Man rising. Sparta fixed. btw @Thefatkid you can have 5 spaces for Italy tommorow now
The Isle of Man. with a population of 50,000 would is offering trade to any nearby nations willing to accept.
Yeah, I didn't add you because I wasn't sure 100% you were that. Will update that earlier post. Edit: Ta dah!
I'll continue my colonisation south- and eastward for tomorrow. I'll probably be asleep during the next update, so I'll announce it already. @General Mosh what do you have for trade? We have excellent bows and boats, as well as fine woodcutting work. There is also a new popular drink in our country made out of fresh spring water, hops, yeast and grains. It's still quite rare, as it's expensive to make due to the excessive heat needed.
@UnitRico we have good wines made from the grapes of southern France, valuable high quality lumber, and we can also give you stained glass, our people are very good at making it.
My Colonization: Scythian colonists are ferried across the Western Coast of the Black Sea and spread to every other coastal province in the region. Edit: @General Mosh
Can someone give me an estimate of the size of Moscow's army? I mean they haven't posted anything ever in this game except that they want to exist.
Thinking of an attack? Each province is 10,000 population, their army can only be half of their population, and that's at max. I'd say they have around 250,000 population. Which means at max their army is 125,000 men, and if they call all of them up they'll have no one working or farming or anything.
Scythia would like to go on the market to buy huge amounts of food. Next, I'm mobilizing a large portion of the population. If every province is 10,000 people then I have a population of 350,000 (including colonies added today). Half of that is 175,000 for a possible military. 125,000 of those will be armed for a period of a single year though it may be expanded. The remaining 50,000 men will temporarily be given land and slaves to increase crop production and nerf the damage from the lack of manpower in our economy. For the time being this military force will be bordering Moscow in my north most province. In the mean time any trade bound for Moscow will be cut off and stopped at the Black Sea ports. Unless you want to march your trade caravans through the wilderness of Northern Russia. Even I'm not crazy enough to do that.
Hey if anyone can update the map, I want the Confederacy of Greece (COG) to expand into Italy, please. The Levantine Empire now institutes a policy of military training for everyone who reaches the age of 16, for 2 years. 40,000 men are raised in the Imperial Homeland, and will head north, to train. They are joined by 5,000 men who have been training for several years, raising the Homeland army to 45,000 men. The Empire still has 21,000 in the COG, helping to defend them. A military base has been made, and these well trained veterans of the Spartan Wars are training even more. The navy is expanded from 40 ships to 50. These ten new ships are Quadriremes, to add to the 40 Triremes already built. They are all stationed in Cyprus. EDIT: Who owns Ankara? Would be a shame for the Empire to gain a new vassal without knowing there name.
