Revival: Lar's 17th century RP

Hello and welcome to my RP revival, I tried this once before but it was during a rough patch and I think we can really give this game a go.



Here is a picture of what the map should look like


First off some rules, which when applying for you promise must promise to keep.

1. You will not have your leaders name as your username so for example no
"president Bloodhammer382".

2.No GM.

3. No Landgrabbing, to take a province you should either have a casus belli or a valid RP reason.

3.You will not wipe out an entire playable nation, you may wipe out an AI but that does not mean you do not need an excuse to do so.

4. No trolling.

5. I know it is alternative but please keep some realistic so no aliens, monster ponies or time traveling samurai Jedi please.

6.Everything you do must have some reason, no random out of the blue revolutions or coups.

That is the end of the Rules more may be added, but now on to the details of how war works.


There are different levels of wars which are: (remember tho you will still need a Casus Belli)

Mutual war: both sides agree to start a war, no aggressor or victims. No reparations shall be paid by the loser. In this mode both sides can take enemy provinces with maximum of 4 and no capitals.
If you want to take a province you shall take it directly. No other nation may help in a mutual war.

Mutual land battle: Both sides agree, much like with Mutual war, but in this the battle place shall be agreed between the two sides. However the battle shall not be in a city, rather on a borderline between the two nations. the victor of this battle shall then take the respective province for example "If France and Germany have a Mutual Land Battle on the border between Nancy and Strasburg and the Germans win they will take Nancy, but if the French win they shall take Strasburg. This will include only the one battle, once it is over peace will be restored or a Mutual War shall begin.

Colonial war: When two colonies go to war, they have a Colonial war. These are minor wars, where they shall only take 2 provinces from the enemy, But they may not keep these provinces after the war.
That is right no they must be given back, the Colonial wars are purely to show dominance in the Colonial regions of Africa and America.

Standard War: When one nation declares war on another, the difference between this and mutual is that there is aggressors and victims. Which mean that others can support a side by sending troops and resources, actively helping like attacking a participating nation is not allowed however.
All other terms are the same as a mutual war.

Standard Land battles: these do not exist I tried to think of a way to make them work, but I could not find one.

Alliance War: when an alliance or union of nations enter into a war with another group of nations, it also has a Mutual and Standard mode, I am sure you understand the difference by now. The war shall end when the alliance is disbanded, if the alliance surrenders or if the alliance is beaten. You can take 5 provinces in this type of war, the alliances must have at least 3 members each to have this war. (Colonies do no count in this total) This type of war is not available until after 1768

World War: Is pretty much a larger Alliance war, but larger. You must have at least 8 nations per side (Colonies do not count to the total). You can take 6 provinces from your enemy. This type of war will not be available until after 1908.

That is all the war types so far, more may be added later on no promises there will be more tho.

------------End of Nations-----------------

I have no decided if there will be events for not, It would be hard for me to keep up with them and I do not wanna say I am doing it, then disappoint you guys. So no big events but there may probably be little events that I will throw in if someone does a certain something.

More Detail

-I know what you are thinking, the Spanish Empire is extremely overpowered, but after all that expansion of provinces they will rely on their colonies heavily. So whoever plays Spain will only be able to have a maximum of 6 Recruitment Centers and no barracks, This is to even it out so you cannot destroy the whole world. Spain can call its Colonies to war but doing this for a long period of time will cause the Colonies to become troublesome

- England is very small but that is because they rely on their big coastal Empire to supply them with trade and resources. That means that every two days England can demand resources from each of its colonies for free, to keep England alive but doing so can cause the colonies to become unruly.

-Being the Colony of the same country does not mean you get along, you all hate each other. Most of all you wanna impress some people back home. How do you do that other than having a scuff and beating your colonial Brethren, so stick into them. Also the parent nation cannot stop a Colonial war only congratulate the winner.

-Being Pope or Caliph is a big responsibly, you need to control the Islamic or Christian world. Nations Religions are as follows:

Spain: Catholic
Spanish Africa (East and West): Catholic, Muslim minority
Spanish North America: Catholic, Pagan minority
England: at war between Catholic and Protestant
Russia: Orthodox
HRE: Catholic
Lietuva: Protestant
Poland: Catholic
New Ottoman Empire: Muslim with orthodox minority.
Turkish Republic: Muslim
Egypt: Muslim
you know the rest the sheiks and sultans are all Muslim.

That should cover all the religion.

-England is currently ran by Queen Mary, but the people hate her. So England after day 16 will be able to go into a state of civil war. this does not mean England vs itself it would be England vs Spain. In this Civil war the English rise up against Mary to free England. The terms for this civil war to end is if Spain takes Portsmouth, Birmingham and London that is how Spain wins, for England to win they must Expel Spain from Scotland and Ireland. Unifying part of the nation under English-
rule.

-New Ottoman empire and the Turkish Republic will not agree, NOE will want to reclaim Turkey, but they are currently in a ceasefire. If the NOE was to break this Ceasefire it would look very bad on the empire.
