01 Mar 20 UTC | Spring, 1231: (tillersch): Come on! One more person |
01 Mar 20 UTC | Spring, 1231: Here we go. |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: Ready for the Black Death, kids? |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: Eh we’ve still got a day to come up with a cure |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: By the way, some of these placenames just seem to be made up. "Aniafret Sea" and "Pitzorke Sea" don't seem to turn up any relevant results besides this variant. |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: https://www.mapsofthepast.com/world-map-america-1492-1499-bleau-2960-x-23.html found this for the pitzorke sea (labeled as Mare Pitzorke, Mare meaning sea) |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: Can't find anything at all for Aniafret, it may be some mistranslation of a Chukchi word or something, I'm not sure |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: But yeah, there is a lot of oddities here, such as Nippon spelled with one p, Britain being Albion (a Gaelic term, sometimes used in poetry), Tugnuses getting no results, Cathay being an alternate name for China, Urgrian being a misspelling of Ugrian, some others I can't find out any info for too |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: Just noticed Angola where Algeria should be, which is just strange |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: And japan not being a thing |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: It's there, it's just been completely botched geographicly, no idea what all those Kpy, Kpe, YP mean, Edo being spelled Yedo in the key, and Edo and Kyoto not at all being where they are supposed to be |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: Also Guam is larger than the entirety of the Philippines here |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: Okay, coming to your rescue for Japan. YP is Yedo Prefecture, and Kpy and Kpe are Kyoto Prefecture West and East respectively. I think the y is actually a w |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: I'm really glad we have the tip of Madagascar |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: I would like to formally say that I want to commit violent acts against whoever decided to name Japan's province those, and for how they designed Japan geographically the way they did. |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: Also whoever decided that there was a river flowing from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: I personally think that Crusaders start out best. They have at least 5 territories to gain on the first turn with no fighting |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: What’s the fifth (guaranteed) one? |
03 Mar 20 UTC | Autumn, 1231: Portugal |
