Amérique

Colonialism - Amérique is a map based on the world in the 1700s. It will have the war/peace/alliance triggers, as well as hostile indian land with AI in the Americas.. It will be a split map. Top part will be Europe while the bottom is the territories known today as Canada, the United States, and half of Mexico. While some of the countries don't have much territory in the new world (I.E. Russia) it is also an advantage because most players will be occupied with the Americas. This way you can expand in Europe and open european fronts. While I said the AI in the Americas is hostile, the land in Europe is friendly unless you bring an army into the land. Then it will have said you declared war on the country and the hostile computer takes over the country and begins developing an army.

Tribute system, and a neverbefore seen territorial sell system.

I'm having a bit trouble with the terrain so if anyone cares to volunteer for the job, i'd gladly take you in if good enough.

when u say based off the 1700s u really mean it

so are there going to be navy units?

Yep, and one of those most important units in the game. Your colonies' survival depends heavily on supplies from your home country back in Europe. What happens when you blockade the sea to europe and take all the trade routes?

Awesome production thread dude. I'm lookin' forward to this - estimated release date?

Err, i'm not sure if I can tell you that. One or two months maybe?

Here's the roughdraft of the terrain right now. Kudos to Kenoli.



Also, i'm teaming up with CommunistNapkin on this one, so you can expect it to be good. Real good.

I'm also replacing Scotland with either Austria, Prussia, or the Ottoman Empire.

OE. Prussia, Austria? They didn't have any territories in the New World. The terrain looks awsome though!

Doesn't matter. They were major powers in Europe and they can open European fronts while the others are occupied in the Americas.

looks pretty cool, but can i give some suggestions?

how about putting the Dutch in there, they had a small part of the new world (dutch wedge in American History). they may not have been a big military power, but they created a trading empire.

also, i don't remember Denmark taking over norway...

Hmm, I thought that Norway was owned by Sweden back then, or else I have to question my own experience in Swedish history.

EDIT:
Okay, I read some, and since 1536-1814 Norway and Denmark was in an union called the Dano-Norwegian union, which consisted of Denmark, Norway, Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. So, the name should change a bit, since it wasn't just Denmark!

wow, gj chrono!

terrain looks pretty good (I just noticed it -_-)

Denmark owned Norway until they lost during the Napoleonic Wars, then they were forced to sceed Norway to Sweden.

Cold, is this map dead? I really haven't seen any updates or new posts. I was looking forward to this map. Oh well, I guess if progress has stopped. Maybe send it to the project graveyard and see if someone completes it there...

Nay, nay. Sorry, I keep forgetting to update news on SEN. I update on SCDiplo.com

Anywho.. Kind of old news update:

Final countries:

GB/France/Spain/Ottoman Empire/Austro-Hungarian Empire/Russia/Denmark

I'm trying to figure out where to place the injuns x_x

Here's ze map. Love Napkin. LOVE HIM, I SAY!



ADDITION:
Haha, i'm so stupid. Austro-Hungarian empire was from the 1800-1900s. They would've been part of the Holy Roman Empire at that time. Replaced it with Prussia.

Is this map like any other Diplo? A cool feature you could add is events that happen every few years, based off real events.

Already been planned.

I want this map. Now. Its awesome.

It will surely be a good map, thats true.

Thanks, guys. I just finished polishing up some unit placement and got done with most of the cities.

Also, the map will take place from 1700-1815. So you will lose some specials and obtain some as well. It also means it's from the early colonial age all the way to the end of the napoleonic wars.

What will happen if you reach year 1815?
Will the game end in victory for the remaining players? Defeat? Just continue playing?

Nothing, just no more event triggers will happen.

Also.. the map corrupted and the only other copies I have left are protected. Christ.

Use OSMAP.

Did. The strings get freaked up and the names keep changing around. *sigh*
