Yearning for new naval bases, demosthones convinces the people of Athens to colonize the small islands off the coast. A motion is passed to form the aetolian league
Misperception of the game on my part. I was under the foolish impression that people would try to have a roughly level starting population for every city-state. Also, @General Mosh Where in the world am I? You added the others, but missed me. Oh, and bump up my pop to 100,000.
Colonize one province north of Sparta. Don't care which one. Maybe the one close to Corinth I plan to annex liberate them soon.
You dont know what the baelaric is? It's the islands of the coat of eastern Spain which is shown as one province. @Jack118 we accept your claims, may iberia live and prosper
A diplomat is sent to discuss trade with Sparta. We offer olive oil and wood for bronze (this is the bronze age era)
We accept your proposal, unfortunately at the moment we share no border and trade would be very unsafe due to to unfriendly, barbaric tribes in between us. Unfortunately, on our side, @Imperial1917 Shall we re-divide the peninsula?
Impossible you may only have one province on one side that would be unfair. In fact since everyone thinks ancient cities can hold thousands of people Mosh bump my pop up to 60k please.
Wow this is more people than I expected. The map is hard to edit because of some random texture thingy, so each pixel must be painted seperately. Bare with me though. @Imperial1917 you are in the South of Spain. May I take it you wish to expand across the straight as your first colonization? Rom I know where it is, just didn't see them in your post Fatkid I'm doing your province right now, same with Sly who is colonizing some islands.
Sparta decides it has no need for olive oil. However wood sounds useful. OOC: Please help in explaining the population of ancient Greece I am basing it off your numbers and my own side research. 70,000 sounds reasonable. I don't want to bring you into forum drama but...
I agree this Threat to the south must be met with hesotation, I will send diplomatic ships to talk with them. Victorio send the Catalonia the mighty trireme to bring Horses Furs and wine to the Gibralterns @Imperial1917
Np, I'll take Morocco. @General Mosh Jack is taking South Spain, methinks. @Romulus211 Check the rest of this post. Its been fixed.
Wait, nvm. Jack isn't at South Spain. But I'm still in Morocco. @Jack118 @General Mosh Oh, I took each block of seperate land on the map as a province. Looking at the map, I saw people with more than one, so I thought that we are supposed to have more than one to start with.
That might take a while. Not my problem. Under the current circumstances, I'll be moving south along the North African Coast. So we have no problems. @General Mosh
You got it. I believe your the last person I need to update then I can post the updated map. King Mosh orders colonization towards the west. He sends scouts to the 4 winds.
OOC: I want to colonize the province that is to the southeast and bordering the coast. Also, what is the population growth for each year? The western scout group returned to London and the scout commander reports to Supreme Leader Supreme. "We found a city-state, but they did not speak our language. They seemed to have population less than ours and a smaller military." Supreme Leader Supreme responded, "Good. Move back to your barracks and await the arrival of the other scout groups." Supreme then sent out a notice to the naval dockyards to prepare shipments of food and building supplies to the new colonization site.
1% of your current population every year, and I will randomly throw in natural disasters to curb population growth. For instance, sorry @Imperial1917, but you just had an Earthquake. 258 of your people are dead. Sorry. EDIT: Map updated
