An Even Newer Imp1870 Game (aenig)

Iron Chancellor · April 13, 2003, 09:51

Anyone care to start a new game? If you don't know, it is an Imperialism game starting in 1869 and going untill about 1919. The emphasis is on trade, and upon building your colonial empire at the expense of weaker countries. The playable civs are:

England-FiGu
France-JamesJKirk
Russia-Prometheus
Germany (inc. Holland, Scandinavia and the Boer republics)-MeckPomm
Japan-Prouler
USA-Iron Chancellor

and the Independents (Spain, Italy, Latin America)

The Independents are primarily in existence to be carved up as they are far weaker than anyone else, but if someone feels up to the challenge, be my guest.

I'll Take Russia

FiGu · April 13, 2003, 11:54

give me the brits

EmuGod · April 13, 2003, 13:20

Iron Chancellor, can you get this thread renamed or start a new threat with a different name because there is already a New Imperialism 1870 Game thread and it might be confusing.

Iron Chancellor · April 13, 2003, 14:58

I realized that after creating it. To whom do I speak regarding that?

St Leo · April 13, 2003, 15:56

Have fun.

MeckPomm · April 13, 2003, 16:21

Germany or France for me please!

Iron Chancellor · April 13, 2003, 18:35

Well, MeckPomm, you have your choice of either. Look it over, and finalize your decision

MeckPomm · April 14, 2003, 03:41

Germany

JamesJKirk · April 14, 2003, 17:57

I'll take France

prouler · April 15, 2003, 13:10

Message from the White House:
As the turn for America comes so late, I would like to start everyone off with a reminder that the Monroe Doctrine still stands. The free nations of the Americas are to remain such. Any attempt to colonize free nations will be seen as a hostile act against the United States of America.

On a friendlier note, we welcome peace and trade with the other Great Powers, and hope that our nations shall grow together in peace. We especially would like to welcome our neighbors to the north in the British empire, and the new German Empire, hoping that it shall learn from the mistakes of its predecessors and choose peaceful expansion over war.

Sincerely yours,
TR

Prometheus · April 15, 2003, 13:55

I will play tonight, we play PBEM’s on Prince right?

Iron Chancellor · April 15, 2003, 14:40

Well, the recommended level (by the creator) is King, but I do not care either way.

JamesJKirk · April 15, 2003, 15:02

Play at Prince, because if play higher the AI will cheat when a human's not controlling it

Prometheus · April 15, 2003, 22:38

The Russian Empire wishes good relations with all nations.

prouler · April 16, 2003, 12:49

The japaese wants peace with our neighbours

Iron Chancellor · April 16, 2003, 13:09

Any details you'd like to make public?

JamesJKirk · April 16, 2003, 20:35

Following the unexpected but welcome death of Louis Napoleon, a virtual unknown, Jacques Eglise declared himself Emporer. Eglise promised to seek profitable, peaceable relations with his neighbors and to put an end to the Second Empire in favor of yet another Republic.

MeckPomm · April 17, 2003, 04:06

Hope for a good relationship to my neighbors all around the world. In most cases I set my attitude to "enthusiasthic", that's why I would welcome an alliance.

it's called Imperialism 1870 and is toward the top

Iron Chancellor · April 17, 2003, 12:10

The United States of America was saddened to hear of the sudden death of President Ulysses Simpson Grant, war hero and a truly honest man, in a dastardly attack by Southern secessionists.

The attack also killed the vice-president and a number of other cabinet members.

President Grand has been suceeded by heretorfore unknown New York politician Theodore Roosevelt, who promised a strict crackdown on the traitors, and announced that America would continue to pursue her place in the sun.

Meanwhile, a number of freighters set sail for Europe and Africa filled with America raw materials, machinery, textiles, tools, and armaments.

No techs traded, no alliances made. Britain has my permission to make do on his turn.

FiGu · April 17, 2003, 16:29

The Great Britain and the United States Of America has signed an Alliance today in Washington.

Trade Ministery
Some british transports has been sent all around the world..

Military
The Navy has made some moves near the british isles.

Prometheus · April 17, 2003, 18:36

The Russian Empire is embarking on a trade program we ask the nations of the world to respect the right of Russian ships on the open seas.

The Russian Empire also asks the German Empire not to build a road near Warsaw.

MeckPomm · April 18, 2003, 05:52

Why not?

But it is your decision, and i have to respect it.

prouler · April 18, 2003, 08:33
