Anagaea II – A New Age of Empires [1117 AD]

[Plethora]

Given that you never pointed out where the blasted capitol of your religion is on a map, why would you expect me to do anything other than what I did?  You may consider what happened as further development of events.

Also, the borders I described in the post correspond with the ones drawn.  You're a few years late to complain about this.  However, if you wouldn't mind pointing out where on God's green Earth the blasted place is it will be no trouble to create a Papal State there or move the borders around.

Talk to Ladios, I've asked that the update the map with his own expansions and trade routes.  Ladios, please ensure that any border alterations leave both Albiton's in an ~equal strategic position that they were before alterations.  Scratch that, technical difficulties.  Will fix tomorrow/when I have the info I need.

I think all of this was under the discretion of SO.

Albiton undergoes a split after a combination of widespread corruption, national administrative and executive gridlock make many nobles believe that the nation cannot support itself as it is.  The large island and the entirety of the peninsula with the capitol on it form East Albiton, and the rest forms West Albiton.  In West Albiton, many supporters of Atensia lose their lives or their property as the nation pursues a more distant relationship with its neighbors.  It is currently unclear whether West Albiton will be a part of the Holy Order, as the Cassian faith was imposed less willingly in the region, and it is rumored that many desire freedom of worship.

thats his quote

The large island and the entirety of the peninsula with the capitol on it form East Albiton

also it was decided the church was based there
i wanted it to be in atenisia but christianity began in albiton so w/e

[Ladios]

Christianity began in Israel but the Vatican is in Italy

The Immortal Bao was enjoying the cool of an autumn eve when he noticed the falling leaves of a nearby tree floating along higher as they passed over flame. In his mind he saw that people could be too supported by leaves of a similar fashion. Many of his close advisors had considered his musings but some philosophical quandry, however Dyeong Sun Bao was entirely serious about the concept and asked several of his top Kai to discern the relation between an objects falling and the heat and movement of the air around it.
Teijina traders endowed with foreign gold determine the need to create a national mint. A concepteur is sent to the parliament to discuss the creation of a national currency.
The practice of hunting whales north of Mawahae, a tradition long held as a right of passage for the Mahowaeaen sailor, has seen a sharp increase in interest on behalf of the Ru'sh Naal government due to the valuable meat and oil able to be harvested from these great beasts. Several graduates of Teijin Kai's school of trade are given funds to start official whaling services.

I get lonely when people dont post but dont wanna double post

I said a while ago (I didn't want to bother digging up a quote as i am tired.) that Christianity was founded in the islands to the east of Albiton, and that it spread into it.  Since Cassainoia is in East Albiton, and Cassainoia yields the demonymn Cassian, The Cassian faith would be presumed to be stonger in the East.  Hope that helps clear things up.

The large island and the entirety of the peninsula with the capitol on it form East Albiton

Just in case it wasn't obvious, I meant the capitol of Albiton, not the capitol of the Cassian faith, and not knowing where exactly the capitol of the Cassian faith is I could not and cannot take it into account when devising the borders.  It's no different than someone deciding to make a nation post and decided no to post where the nation is located.
That is exactly what I drew, or to give you the utmost favorable position, what I drew is what I meant, and if I did a poor job explaining it, I apologize.  However, when I say peninsula, I mean a body of land that juts out into the water and is surrounded by it from almost all sides.  Peninsula means, approximately, almost island, and I drew the borders accordingly.

I had to look up what the devil "SO" means, but I can assure you that it wasn't so.  It's pointing out the errors of your arguments but attempting to be reasonable about it and perhaps accommodate you - admittedly I wasn't pleasant about it and responded in the same tone you posted: snarky.  If you keep acting like you have in past, it will become increasingly difficult for me to attempt to accommodate you, and I will eventually stop altogether.

[SWAT One]

Plethora, you have access to much of the old maps.  We've been using the capitol marker for a long time, so it wouldn't be hard at all to designate Cassainoia.  Cassainoia was the old Capitol of unified Albiton, and remains the Capitol of East Albiton and the center of the Cassian Christian faith and the center of the Holy Nations' power.

All this knowledge has existed for some time.

[Plethora]

I don't recall Cassainoia being identified as Albiton's capitol, but I don't pay attention to capitols so who knows?  Given this being the truth, however, I fail to see why Swat has any grounds to freak out and act like he is because the capitol of the former unified Albiton is in Cassian East Albiton.



EDIT:
Swat, did you just not see the green border at the peninsula.  I realize now that I accidentally posted two maps with trade routes which may have partially obscured the view of the green border.  However, you could have looked to the previous map post which clearly shows in black the border between the two, right at the peninsula.  If it is simply a matter of your own lacking investigation in the matter, please do better in future, because such stupidity only tears down.  Jairo's words still ring true to some degree.

Perhaps this map will clear things up.

idk what i did wrong here

just because i didn't see a super small bloody line makes me stupid

i would call it ignorance to the fact of a small black border that blends with the rest of the loving pixels around it

No, what makes you stupid is the fact you act like a massive cunt almost constantly without provocation. And also, how small it is doesn't make you any less of a literal handicap for not seeing it, because that just indicates you took less than a second to look at the map, considering how distinct the green is in contrast to the rest of the colors on there.

And also, the black border between the two does not blend in with the other pixels around it whatsoever, I don't know if you're blind or just handicapped, but I'm going to assume the latter considering the events that have lead up to this post of yours.


Anyways, with Swat 3's weekly outburst out of the way, sorry for my inactivity, IRL stuff has come up and I'm gonna try and cap everything that's happened with nipponland thus far either in this post as an edit or another post, whenever I get the time.

[Swat 3]

Wtf that wasn't an "outburst"

That was me looking at something incorrectly.

And no, I didn't look at it less than a second, I just didn't see it. please recognize that im not mr. bad in this scenerio; no one is. it was all just a misunderstanding.

You're mister bad in this situation because you acted like an starfish, regardless of whether you understood the situation or not.

And it was an outburst cause you loving do this all the god damn time.

Now before you start spewing stuff to try and make yourself look more intelligent than you really are, take it to PMs or email the mod team if I ended up triggering you or am upset because I am 'cyber bullying' you.

At first only the bravest would take on the request of the wise Dyeong Sun Bao. "Who would be foolish enough to throw themselves over an open fire?" Scoffed those of lesser faith. But it was first a Wereu conscript by the name of Danai whom wished to prove her dedication to the Will of Bao. Ahead of her lay an old fishing vessel donated for the exercise, filled with fats and oils and ground up mixtures derived by the school of Ru'sh Kai, set aflame such that great billowing plumes of smoke shot rapidly into the figid night. Grabbing the grip of the contraption in one hand and the cloth tied carefully with small weights tied to the ends to distrubte the load, the Wereu threw herself off the side of the boat on the frigid northern night while at the same time throwing ahead of herself the cloth, which grabbed with great ease the cloud of smoke as it rose into the air carrying with it the attached soldier.  She sailed for several lengths of the boat before touching down safely into the water. After many modifications of the system involved it became appearant that while the technique could be useful under specific circumstances, the requirements of wearing practically no armor makes some of the military advisers wary of incorporating the tactics into the training of their soldiers and that the technique can only be used under specific circumstances where the wind is blowing in the right manner.

uhm

isn't it 550 AD

[Ladios]

Thats what the title says, yup.
*edit*
To be more serious, you have people at this time with large siege contraptions, and ballistas and in the real world it was around now people were coming up with advanced things like the first autonomoatonic contraptions. I don't think it would be too hard to speculate how the idea of catching an updraft over a large flame would be an unfeasable concept considering people have been using paper lantern balloons and other similar contraptions well into ancient times.
 I spent alot of work trying to make this as feasible as I can, and I am having my nation dedicate pretty much all their resources into this silly stuff and given that I have two colleges pumping out scientists that have had nothing to do the past two hundred years I think it makes sense that this could happen, and I have been paving the way for these series of advancements for some time now.

[Plethora]

Actually, we did the research (real world research) on ballista.  400 BC and some reference to siege machines during the times of King Uzziah, and by 50 BC you have the scorpio with the Romans.  I'm also not sure that "autonomatonic" is a word - did you mean autonomic?  Yeah, wikipedia.  Just sayin.
