Eirik the Red crossed the Atlantic by taking a small detour by Greenland in order to avoid the "ship eating worms" aka. big waves, and the vikings were the most skilled shipbuilders of their time. And yes, I'm proud of my ancestors.Yes but he had no idea there was actually land that way. So, either he was suicidal in sailing that way, or extremely lucky. Since he survived, I'd say lucky. ...and dressing enough.The point that's being made is that hypthetically, sure, you could get to Europe; it would take a lot of deaths and a lot of boats, but it could be done. BUT. There's no way you could actually participate in whats going on in Europe and Asia. So, no trade routes, no technology sharing, no way to send armies, nothing. It would be waaay too expensive.

Fra Eirik Raudes saga vet vi at Torvald var sønn av Åsvald, som igjen var sønn av Ulv, og som igjen var sønn av Øksna-Tore. Faren Torvald var blitt lyst fredløs i Norge for noen drap rundt 960. De seilte derfor fra Norge og bosatte seg på Island. De tok land på Hornstrandene og bodde på Drangar. Her døde Torvald noen år senere. Som far så sønn, for i 982 ble Eirik Raude lyst fredløs på Island. I henhold til den sagaen som bærer hans navn kom trellene til Eirik til å løse ut et skred over gården til naboen som deretter drepte trellene. Eirik drepte derfor naboen, og i tillegg en mann med det fryktinngytende navnet Holmgange-Ravn ved Leikskålar. Det ble reist sak mot Eirik og han ble dømt til å flytte fra stedet. Det neste året havnet han i en krangel om noen benkestokker han hadde lånt bort og ville ha igjen fra en mann ved navn Torgest eller Torgjest. I kampen som fulgte falt Torgests to sønner og noen andre. Etter det ble Eirik dømt fredløs på tinget. Han bestemte seg da for å seile ut og finne det land som Gunnbjørn Ulvsson hadde sett da han kom av kurs vest for Island. Eirik satte ut til havs fra Snæfjellsjøkelen.Eirik Torvaldsson was born on Jæren, probably Sola in Norway sometime around 950, the son of Thorvald Asvaldsson. From Eirik the Red's Saga, we know that Torvald was the son of Åsvald, which in turn was the son of Ulv, and which in turn was the son of Øksnes-Tore. His father Thorvald were outlawed in Norway for some killing around 960 They therefore sailed from Norway and settled in Iceland. They took the country on the Horn Tran weather and stayed at Drangar. There Thorvald died some years later. Like father like son, for in 982, Erik the Red was outlawed in Iceland. According to the saga that bears his name came slaves to Eirik to release an avalanche over the farm to a neighbor who then killed the slaves. Eirik slew therefore neighbor and also a man with the intimidating name of a duel-Raven at Leikskålar. It was built case against Erik, and he was ordered to move from the site. The next year he was caught up in an argument about some bench sticks his loan and would have left from a man named Torgest or Torgjest. In the fight that followed fell Torgests two sons and a few others. After it was Eirik sentenced outlawed at the Thing. He then decided to sail out and find the country that Gunnbjörn Ulfsson had seen when he came of course to the west of Iceland. Erik set out to sea from Snæfjellsjøkelen.

Wisp Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ok first, you can't have south america. Or north america. That would be like me saying "Ok guys, I have europe". Pick one tribe. You want some of NA? Try the Iroquois, or Aztecs. Want some of SA? Try the Incas. Here's the current breakup of my budget:22%: Naval Production and upkeep33%: Completion of project CAD25%: Reinforcing habitats and building static defenses on the upper levels5%: Air Force and Army Upkeep15%: Other research and production Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisp Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 And also, the idea of no research is sorta dumb. The entire ancient-medieval era was an arms race. For example, Mesopotamians conquered Egypt because of chariots. The ones with chariots were the strongest for a while until someone else got chariots. The Europeans dominated the native americans for centuries because of their better technology. A crossbow beats a longbow, whoever first developed crossbows dominated until someone else got something better. Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
