Colonial EUROPE The year is 1 AD. This is a game where every country starts with a small piece of territory, and must expand. It's non-historical, and some countries may not have existed. Once Europe is fully colonized, history will take its course. Wars, alliances, anything really. Only 2 people are allowed to play.

Democracy: Democracy is a free state in which very few things are limited.
Combat The combat in this game is simple. Roll the dice, count in the modifiers, and calculate the result.
Weather: -2 for Light Snow, -5 for Snow, -10 for Blizzard -1 for Light Rain and Rain, -5 for Storm -3 for Heatwave, -10 for Deadly Heatwave
Landscape: -1 when attacking in hills -1 when attacking in dense forests/vegetation -1 when attacking over a river -4 when attacking in mountains
+1 when defending in hills +1 when defending in dense forests/vegetation +1 when defending over a river +4 when defending from a mountain
Stats: Attack adds to a dice roll. For example, if someone rolls a 6 and they have an attack stat of 2 their roll will turn into 8. Defense lessens attack from a dice roll. For example, if someone rolls a 6 and the defender a defense bonus of 2, the enemy dice roll will turn in to 4.
Generals and Admirals: Generals and Admirals can add attack, defense or both to your dice rolls and armies, depending on how much money you will spend for one and how naturally talented they are.
Armies: Armies use a number based on how much soldiers they contain. For example, an army of 5,000 will be 5 on a dice or in a battle.
Well, the map isn't too small. Also I forgot to mention, this game is inspired by Europe Colonialis and Victoria 2: Fantasia. You can look those up if you want.

You accept the alliance with Scotland and relations with them go up, and you begin colonizing. Most colonizers are going further south. Also, 1 year = 1 page. It takes one year to fully colonize an area. The colonizing area is somewhat small, so it would take about several pages to fully colonize Ireland. You get an alliance offer from France, since they are also allied with Scotland.

Your king's bonuses are randomly picked between 1 and 6 (with a random number program.) Your King is currently age 15 and will most likely die at the age 73.
You are king of Holland, a Dutch kingdom in the North. You automatically begin colonizing the south of you, but you can bring back the colonists if you wish. England sends you an alliance offer, and so does Castille. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Country: Ireland Manpower: 3,500 Manpower per Year: +1,000 a Year Primary Culture: Irish Accepted Cultures: Italian, Welsh, Scottish Primary Religion: Catholic Accepted Religions: Protestant, Orthodox Monthly Income: +20 Gold a Month Budget: 60 Gold Government: Absolute Monarchy Personal Unions: None King: James Sullivan I Bonuses from King: 1 Diplomacy, 6 Military, 4 Economy Heir to Throne: None Bonuses from Heir: No Heir Heir Claim Strength: No Heir Armies: 1.)

I begin to build guard towers along the coast and start to build up a small defensive navy with some fishing boats. Also, if Scotland permits I would like to send a force of 600 archers to the south of scotland to defend the borders against any attacks.
Also, if it's possible I would like to begin training my Rangers in guerilla warfare and other ambush techniques.

It is now year 2. You start building some guard towers along the coast, but your terrible economy limits how much you can build. You used up 20 but made 20 gold back, due to the new month. You start building a small navy of 2 galleys, which costed 10 gold. You have received military access from Scotland, and sent 600 archers to Southern Scotland.
