Nero Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Congrats, you conquered a desert :). Though Egypt is gunna be pissed, though they'll probably be rather easy now that they have been battered by the Mongols.That part of North Africa is actually pretty darn rich. And why would Egypt be mad that I took over someone else's land? Vienna Raszyn Warsaw Klushino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icuownage Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Sorry double post, but this is a little urgent and kind of requires a notifiction and it is my first double post ever I think. If you haven't done the updates yet, can you include this please? If it is not a bother. I send 20 cogs to Sultan for tradeI send 25 to Japan for tradeI send 5 to one of the outlying islands of Greenland If I'm leader of Sri Lanka now (I'm kind of confused on the matter) I ask any of the other factions if they're interested in unifying India. I ask China if they'd like to set up a nice trade route between some Asian countries and France I tried sending that to your Retech but your messages are full.

Retech Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Trade is an update every five years, but I haven't done the updates yet. I'm going shopping with my mom around lunchtime, so I'll get them done/ And I'll go and delete some messages. :thumbup: Master of your domain?

Icuownage Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 No your place is the mainland, you're actually only protecting the mainland, I am gonig for the outlaying islands.... Cause I married into the royal family there as well. I was confused but I will check over what Retech said to try and make sense of it. My bad, I am next in line to the throne there as well. Well there isn't a throne but when the leader dies I'll probably be the leader.

Nexaduro Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 ... I think that's too close to America. And if you go there, I will have an excuse to BURN EVERYTHING.

Icuownage Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Uhhh fiiine... Also aren't castles 5 million. If not I want an 8 million refund. I'll just go and colonise... Australia? Can I do that or not? I'm not leader, I'm next in line though. Plus if I do become leader there will be civil wars, Retech told me, so it isn't just the easy option, but it sure beats the hell outta just conquering em.

Icuownage Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Oh yeah I also spend 15 million on making a trade route to Asia, targetting mainly the high resources nations. Like Japan or the Sultan place. I also monopolise silver.

Icuownage Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Retech said I could after a decade of reasearch, that was a decade ago. So stfu, I monopolised it.

Icuownage Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Seriously, why're you such a [bleep] about everything when I try to get ahead in one aspect? I try to get into Asia CAN'T HAVE THAT. Try to get a part of Greenland CAN'T HAVE THAT, try to monopolise a luxury CAN'T HAVE THAT. Stop it.

Nero Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Can we please keep in mind that it wasn't until the 1400s that large scale expeditions were possible to Asia and the Pacific. So, taking over the throne of Sri Lanka would be useless as all they'd have to do is rebel and you'd have no way of getting troops over there to stop them.

Icuownage Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I read what Retech said wrong, I know I'm not leader, I have to wait for him to die and then survive the ensuing civil war. I'm sure you spent overlly large amounts getting to a frozen wasteland. Retech said I could so stfu.

Icuownage Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Luxury resource = Really easy to monopolise. Oh dear lord 6 million, God forbid. FINE, if you have so much against me getting into Asia AS PEACEFULLY AS POSSIBLE, then maybe I should go in guns blazing..... Cause the cheap easy method is apparently stupid, though it happens in real life all the time. It's called corruption.

Seraphi Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I think I'll end up starting a few trade routes into Asia. Specifically where modern day China is. Still need to do the Sultanate of whatever thing with Retech in IRC. I'll PM him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphi Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Easy way to prevent that Rocco, other than metagaming, is to incite a full scale civil war and fracture the country entirely, meaning that whoever owns the splinters afterwards needs to spend a heckton of money repairing everything.

Icuownage Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Ross if you chuck in some money into my trade route I just set up you could probably be a part of it. Urgh, I'm just about ready to just conquer em instead, Rocco is annoying me.

Seraphi Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Well sure, I'll join in. Just need to check my budget and such, and I'll work out how much to put into it. Is the budget reset tommorow, by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retech Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Woah woah woah, everyone can calm down now. Okay, now that everyone is calm, I can explain the situation. Okay, first on the issue of monopolisation. Icu researched a unique alchemical process which generates a higher quality of silver. That is what he has a monopoly on, not silver in general. Remember monopoly doesn't necessarily mean total control of a market, just a high degree of control. As for China, it is a fractured and destroyed country. Its government doesn't have a firm grip on its people, meaning that in all likelyhood, Icu will only have one claim out of many to the throne. That would probaly require heavy investment to secure that claim. Sri Lanka is small and full of peasants, meaning it is only controlled by local strongmen. Local strongmen like marrying up the ladder with royalty, but they have many rivals. It is more like forming an alliance. Larger more stable nations like Japan will be harder to marry in to. Rather, you may be able to secure a royal marriage alliance, but inheriting the country would require heavy investment, defeating rivals, and all that stuff. Inheritance is not supposed to be an easy way out. :thumbup: Master of your domain? I am Lord of the manor, Queen of the castle, King of the county!
