It is the 17th century and everything has changed. Since times immemorial, the races of Ekias have fought each other over land and resources. No longer. Famous explorer Erik Leifson has returned from his voyage across the sea of monsters with news of a new and foreign land. Rideon. A land of opportunity. A land of unimaginable wealth. A land of savagery. Already, several nations are outfitting expeditions to explore this strange land and claim it for their various nations. You are one of these expeditions! Will you claim this new land for god and country? Will you rebel against your overlords and establish a state all to your own? Will you butcher the savages that you find in this strange land? Will you discover the mysteries of Rideon? Make your mark on history.
Alright fucktards, you get two actions per turn along with 2d100 for said actions. You will be starting as a expedition sent to the new world to claim it for your respective nations. Once you actually establish your colony, you will be expected to eventually send certain resources and commidities back to the Old World. If you can’t meet your quotas, your respective overlords will find a way to make you pay. If you meet the quotas, they will eventually increase as hunger for the new world’s resources grow. The goal of the game is to be the first to declare independence from your overlords and manage to survive the shitstorm that comes after. Once you learn of magic, your nations can learn it’s secrets but the race and magic creation slots are locked until turn three. At that point you can join in as a Native Nation whose goals are to push the invaders out of their lands and remain independent until turn forty.

>Fluff:Pollokix is a recently established nation, formed in a violent war over land. The small states of the are were conquerred into a single empire, ruled by an Imperator Incarnus. The country is heavily zealous, focused on their deep religious views. They despise the unhuman in all of it's forms, the tenets of pyre and flame being very important. All men are to train as soldiers, all women as riders, for a few weeks a year at least, to be ready should the time come, and they are motivated by years of indoctrination and fire purged enemies. The colony was founded at the behest of the Imperator, to gather the resorources of the new world, and to burn the native peoples to ash, with the blessing of the gods of Pyre, Powder, and Smoke.

Fluff: A nation of conquest, los Empiro had a humble beginning fighting against those across the not!Mediterranean, which soon escalated from the call of the crusade against a pagan foe, before soon controlling the entire south of Ekias through brute force, and harsh Conquistadors. While those of los Empiro are experts in suppressing native backlash from their conquests, their relationship with the rest of Ekias is tainted due to their greed.

Map Color: Orange
Starting point:(Locked)
Race: Human (Locked)
Fluff: The largest Empire of the old world, Rus was long considered the most primitive and barbaric of the Old world Empires, and often won wars through the sheer amount of men they could put on the field. The land was a cold one, with the sparse land suitable to farming available only to the Boyars of the royal court, who forced the serfs, common men reduced to slaves, work the land and themselves, often to death. Then came a new king, a man to force a change upon all of Kievan Rus that would rock the county to its core. Turmoil was rampant for the first few years, but soon the country was stable and prospering; a series of wars brought much land to the Rus Empire, and now it finds itself a rising Owlbear among it's once strong competitors. This is in no small part to a wonder technology discovered by it scientist-Emperor, a means through which feats of in-imaginable complexity are completed using some sort of arcane energy. This new discovery, deemed heretical by the rest of the world, has caused a massive falling off in foreign relations, and now the country prepares again for war, this time against most of the known world. In an attempt to further bring his country up to speed with the modern world, and attain new, exotic resources for the war effort, the newly crowned Emperor Scruffitius orders a fleet to be constructed to ferry his people to this "new world" and take it for Rus.

>>165Sovereign Nation Name: The Unified Imperial Kingdoms of Great Blackhampton and Kelsford's Expedition to the New World in the name of King Charles VI
Map Color: Red
Race: Human (Locked)
Starting point: Near the North Coast.
Fluff: Usually just shortened to 'Great Blackhampton' or 'Blackhampton', the Kingdoms of Blackhampton and Kelsford function under a single monarch, Charles VI. The two Kingdoms (And a couple smaller kingdoms under them) both form the nations of the smaller island of Icthium, off the coast of Ekias. Renowned for an incredible navy and mastery of the seas to fend of raiders and their ancestral rivalry with the nearby nation of Fronsylia, rising ideas of Imperialism and Nationalism and a recent surge of science leading to the beginning of racial superiority, Blackhampton has had a massive increase in colonial interest, sending out expeditions sponsored by the King around the world with military escorts. Though long-time believers in the religion of Pollokix, conflicts with the relatively new Imperator over theological and political matters have left something of a religious divide between the two nations.

>>165Sovereign Nation Name: The Most Holy Theocracy of Diasten
Map Color: Dark Blue
Starting point: Anywhere I can feasably reach
Race: Human (Locked)
Fluff: Many years ago within the southern desert the tribes fought in in bloody wars and feuds over the oasis and wells that dot the land. The battles soon became so bloody that quite a few wells or oasis were lost or poisoned. In the wake of the Blood Wars came the prophet Tzius who roamed the desert and negotiated the end to the blood feuds between all the tribes. The prophet soon gained a following and preached his teachings of peace and understanding. He preached that the gods and the spirits had the same souls as humans, and when a human dies he is resurrected as a god, spirit, animal, or plant. That the way to a proper life is through knowledge and understanding of the world in preparation to become a spirit. That creation and art is better than destruction and bloodshed and that one should only fight in self defense. Over time the prophet's teachings were written down and the Theocracy was united from the tribes. In the modern day the Theocracy is a peaceful state dedicated to their sciences and art. Protected by the desert and control of the water sources. When the High priests heard of the new land they sent and exploration and colonizing expedition to learn all they could about this new and strange land.

Fluff: The Reich is a burgeoning empire, centered in Venland, that seeks to unite the many disparate townships and duchies that make up the region. This task would be all but impossible due to the strife and grudges the various locales hold, were it not for the charismatic and strong-willed leadership of Kaiser Lumenwald. With his own territories mostly secure, the Kaiser is eager to keep up with the 'weldsprechen' lowlanders in their race for the New World. Trained with the finest Vennish cavalry and at the cutting - and shooting - edge of military technology, this expedition comes for conquest, to bring back rich resources for the Reich's military machine.

Race: Human (Locked)
Fluff: The Republic of Velikoye was once prided for its rationalism, tolerance, and prosperity. But those are the days of the past. Harsh winters and droughts led to famine and destitution. Even more misfortune followed, with several invasions from Velikoye's treacherous neighbours Shagadaki and Bolonino following. Despite strained resources, the newly elected ruler, Pyotr Vasilyev, managed to secure victory, winning battle after battle. His triumph in face of impossible odds led to incredible popularity, and it seemed for a time that the times of turmoil were over. He was a humble man, using his power only to better the lives of his people. But other noble families grew envious of his power, and daggers were drawn in the dark. Pyotr Vasilyev was assassinated, along with his wife and children, and strung outside the Vasilyev estate by the neck. Some blamed Vladimir Ivanov and his ancient dynasty, while others yet placed blame upon Nikolay Alkaev, an upstart noble recently come into power. All of the electors were placed under suspicion, leading to yet more assassinations and violence. Chaos truly erupted when Vlasi Vasilyev, brother of the nation's savior, attempted to re-instate the monarchy of old, defying the electors and the traditions of Velikoye. The following civil war lasted 13 years, and left hundreds of thousands dead. The Ivanov's had finally struck down Vlasi the Tyrant - Vladimir "Ironside" slaying him down in a fierce duel atop the palace steps. But Vladimir Ivanov was betrayed in the end, and the fighting was all for naught. Nikolay Alkaev had gained the support of Bolonino, and with their armies, Velikoye stood no chance. The Ivanov's were stripped of lands and privileges, along with the other electorates. Velikoye is now a republic only in name, with Alkaev ripping the tongues from any man who dares question his rule. Vladimir Ivanov and his family were exiled, and given one last chance for redemption. Return with the riches of the New World, or not at all.

That seems to happen when you try to bushwhack your way into a jungle teeming with dangerous and foreign wildlife. Wildlife that shouldn't exist.

One seems to be like your own forgotten roots, riding atop grand horses with their lances leveled and their swordarms ready for combat. They would be like your own fuedal ages exactly if it wasn't for the fact that they were nearly twice as large as your own men and had only one eye. The other army was composed of thousands upon thousands of green men with pointed ears, swinging axes the size of most men's arms.

Chaos truly erupted when Vlasi Vasilyev, brother of the nation's savior, attempted to re-instate the monarchy of old, defying the electors and the traditions of Velikoye. The following civil war lasted 13 years, and left hundreds of thousands dead. The Ivanov's had finally struck down Vlasi the Tyrant - Vladimir "Ironside" slaying him down in a fierce duel atop the palace steps. But Vladimir Ivanov was betrayed in the end, and the fighting was all for naught. Nikolay Alkaev had gained the support of Bolonino, and with their armies, Velikoye stood no chance. The Ivanov's were stripped of lands and privileges, along with the other electorates. Velikoye is now a republic only in name, with Alkaev ripping the tongues from any man who dares question his rule. Vladimir Ivanov and his family were exiled, and given one last chance for redemption. Return with the riches of the New World, or not at all.

1. Send scouting parties inland to explore the Steppes. We need to find out what this land has to offer, and more importantly, if anyone has already laid claim to it.
2. Set up shelters. If the weather is anything like that back home, things could turn bad quickly. We'll be ready. Put the Serfs to work.

>>198>>165Sovereign Nation Name: The Unified Imperial Kingdoms of Great Blackhampton and Kelsford's Expedition to the New World in the name of King Charles VI
Map Color: Red
Race: Human (Locked)
Starting point: Near the North Coast.
Fluff: Usually just shortened to 'Great Blackhampton' or 'Blackhampton', the Kingdoms of Blackhampton and Kelsford function under a single monarch, Charles VI. The two Kingdoms (And a couple smaller kingdoms under them) both form the nations of the smaller island of Icthium, off the coast of Ekias. Renowned for an incredible navy and mastery of the seas to fend of raiders and their ancestral rivalry with the nearby nation of Fronsylia, rising ideas of Imperialism and Nationalism and a recent surge of science leading to the beginning of racial superiority, Blackhampton has had a massive increase in colonial interest, sending out expeditions sponsored by the King around the world with military escorts. Though long-time believers in the religion of Pollokix, conflicts with the relatively new Imperator over theological and political matters have left something of a religious divide between the two nations.

Map Color: Yellow
Starting point:
Race: Human (Locked)
Fluff: Kagen, the upstart and pompous leader of the witchslayers, long ago created a vendetta to destroy all semblances of magical artifacts and mysticism in the world. He had done well in this quest back in the home country, prompting the public lauding him with the title of "Slayer." Once news came about of a new land potentially ripe with magic, Kagen was ecstatic. He quickly summoned an expedition to conquer this land for the motherland, potentially ridding the world of more foul magic users.

2. Establish a modest base camp near the tip of the peninsula, gather resources to do so if we have run out.

>>200Sovereign Nation Name: Eternal Reich of the Venland
Map Color: Dark Red
Starting point: Somewhere foresty, inland from the coast a ways.
Race: Human (Locked)
Fluff: The Reich is a burgeoning empire, centered in Venland, that seeks to unite the many disparate townships and duchies that make up the region. This task would be all but impossible due to the strife and grudges the various locales hold, were it not for the charismatic and strong-willed leadership of Kaiser Lumenwald. With his own territories mostly secure, the Kaiser is eager to keep up with the 'weldsprechen' lowlanders in their race for the New World. Trained with the finest Vennish cavalry and at the cutting - and shooting - edge of military technology, this expedition comes for conquest, to bring back rich resources for the Reich's military machine.

1 - We will not get far trying to rule an occupied city with what forces we have. A wise commander spares the city but first takes the country. As such we shall disembark and set off a couple miles down the coast, there to build a new base of operations.
2 - However, only a foolish leader would ignore these denizens. We shall have to seek parley, even start to learn their language. Strange though their ways and words are, it would be better to have them as allies than enemies on the road towards ruling them.

>>197>Fill this outSovereign Nation Name: Kievan Rus
Map Color: Orange
Starting point:(Locked)
Race: Human (Locked)
Fluff: The largest Empire of the old world, Rus was long considered the most primitive and barbaric of the Old world Empires, and often won wars through the sheer amount of men they could put on the field. The land was a cold one, with the sparse land suitable to farming available only to the Boyars of the royal court, who forced the serfs, common men reduced to slaves, work the land and themselves, often to death. Then came a new king, a man to force a change upon all of Kievan Rus that would rock the county to its core. Turmoil was rampant for the first few years, but soon the country was stable and prospering; a series of wars brought much land to the Rus Empire, and now it finds itself a rising Owlbear among it's once strong competitors. This is in no small part to a wonder technology discovered by it scientist-Emperor, a means through which feats of in-imaginable complexity are completed using some sort of arcane energy. This new discovery, deemed heretical by the rest of the world, has caused a massive falling off in foreign relations, and now the country prepares again for war, this time against most of the known world. In an attempt to further bring his country up to speed with the modern world, and attain new, exotic resources for the war effort, the newly crowned Emperor Scruffitius orders a fleet to be constructed to ferry his people to this "new world" and take it for Rus.

While those of los Empiro are experts in suppressing native backlash from their conquests, their relationship with the rest of Ekias is tainted due to their greed.

>>198Sovereign Nation Name: The Most Holy Theocracy of Diasten
Map Color: Dark Blue
Starting point: Anywhere I can feasably reach
Race: Human (Locked)
Fluff: Many years ago within the southern desert the tribes fought in in bloody wars and feuds over the oasis and wells that dot the land. The battles soon became so bloody that quite a few wells or oasis were lost or poisoned. In the wake of the Blood Wars came the prophet Tzius who roamed the desert and negotiated the end to the blood feuds between all the tribes. The prophet soon gained a following and preached his teachings of peace and understanding. He preached that the gods and the spirits had the same souls as humans, and when a human dies he is resurrected as a god, spirit, animal, or plant. That the way to a proper life is through knowledge and understanding of the world in preparation to become a spirit. That creation and art is better than destruction and bloodshed and that one should only fight in self defense. Over time the prophet's teachings were written down and the Theocracy was united from the tribes. In the modern day the Theocracy is a peaceful state dedicated to their sciences and art. Protected by the desert and control of the water sources. When the High priests heard of the new land they sent and exploration and colonizing expedition to learn all they could about this new and strange land.

1. Well this could have been far worse. We at least know how to survive in the sun scorched lands already. They will more than likely also contain similar resources as our homeland, which is a shame but also good for initial setup. "We must begin constructing homes. We were given a good allowance of resources from home for this task were we not? I don't quite remember. Either way we all know how to build a simple hut." Build homes.
2. These flood plains are quite the blessing. The spirits of the waters and winds must have been looking over us when they saw we were heading for this desert. They shall be quite fertile. Start setting up farms!
