we have to agree on one Europe vote. I voted for Europe in the previous vote and if I wanted Asia I would have voted for it. If we don't unify the "Asian country with a slice of Europe" vote will win because they only have one option while we have five different options to divide our vote.

Do we have to unify yet though? I was under the impression that once a vote has won, it would trigger a second round of voting where we determined which country we would play as.

We're voting on region. There are five European regions and one "Asia" vote. Southern Europe and "B-But we're European, too!" are tied with 5 votes. Western Europe has 4 votes. If the Southern and Western European voters voted for the same thing then we"ll play a country in Europe. If not our options will be the Ottomans, Armenia, Georgia, and Antioch. The last three are bordered by the Ottomans, Ayyubids and Golden Horde so they aren't the best choices to create an empire.

[x] Eastern Europe. Here be Slavs. Unless you're Lithuanian or encroaching steppe or Siberian folks. You're probably like Rome in where you're more worried about threats to the east. Unless you are one of those threats from the east.
 
[X] Southern Europe. These are the empires residing on the various appendages dangling into the Mediterranean. They may or may not be haughty about residing in Roman lands. Or being Rome. The Mediterranean provides excellent opportunities to take overseas lands, but your particular penninsula is likely fractured at the moment. Or, if you're on Iberia, you could just go wherever you damn well please.
(The empires in this region are: Aragon, Byzantium, Castile, Cyprus, Galicia-Leon, Genoa, Granada, Malta, Milan, Naples, Navarre, Papal States, Portugal, Savoy, Sicily, Tuscany, Venice)
 
[X] Central Europe. What is even going on here? Outside of Germany we look nice and stable, but what even is this Holy Roman Empire? Either you're outside of the feudal mess, are one of the seven sub-empires inside of it, or, unfortunately, some smaller territory trying to make a name for yourself. Wherever you're from, being smack dab in the middle of Europe can have some advantages.
(The empires in this region are: Austria, Bavaria, Bohemia, Brandenburg, Holy Roman Empire, Hungary, Palatinate, Poland, Switzerland, Westphalia)

Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification!
 
[X] B-But we're European, too! You may have some arguments, but geography says you're Asian, sorry. Still, you could entirely ignore your home continent and just stick your thumbs in European pies all year long, so welcome aboard.

Venice so we become the merchant king
 
My heart yearns for Northern Europe, but alas.

Start a trading and colonial (to Siberia) empire with Novgorod!

Introduction 3
  • Threadmarks
    • Southern Europe is the homeland of your empire. Being the home of legendary Rome and Greece as well as being entwined in the Mediterranean means that all kinds of traffic has gone through both the lands and sea, making this area a hot spot for would-be conquerors, but also the inflow of trade and culture.

    Which do you belong to?

    [] The Crown of Aragon. This maritime powerhouse is ruled by the God-King Chaime I. In addition to the eastern coast of Iberia, this empire possesses the Baleric Islands and the island of Sardinia.

    [] The Byzantine Empire. This empire is Rome, though nobody else really acknowledges this. The empire had been in a steady decline until the ascension of the current God-King Alexios I Komnenos, seeing its return to owning the southern Balkans, the Aegean Sea, and the island of Crete, in addition into pushing into Anatolia. It's still a long ways off from reaching its former glory.

    [] The Crown of Castile. This empire resides in central Iberia and is ruled by the God-King Ysabel, one of the few female God-Kings. She seeks to drive out Granada and unite the peninsula under one empire.

    [] The Kingdom of Cyprus. This crusader kingdom is ruled by the God-King Pierre I Lusignan. It resides on its titular island and seeks to expand by fighting against the Turkish heathens.

    [] The Kingdom of Galicia-Leon. The former Christian powerhouse of Iberia has suffered loss of land to both Castile and the breakaway empire of Portugal. The two empires had to band together to maintain their power. It resides in the northwest of the peninsula and is ruled by the God-King Alfonso VI.

    [] The Republic of Genoa. This small empire on the northwest coast of the Italian peninsula is ruled by the God-King Simone Boccanegra. It is a powerful trading force seeking to make colonies across the Mediterranean, and it has already obtained the island of Corsica.

    [] The Emirate of Granada. Located in southern Iberia, this empire is ruled by the God-King Muhammed I ibn Nasr. The remnant of the once mighty Caliphate of Cordoba, Granada is the last bastion of Islam in Europe and is being hammered hard by the Christian empires to the north.

    [] The Kingdom of Malta. This tiny crusader kingdom in the southern Mediterranean is ruled by the God-King Jean Parisot de Valette.

    [] The Duchy of Milan. Located in central northern Italy, this wealthy empire is ruled by the God-King Gian Galeazzo and has recently broke away from the Holy Roman Empire.

    [] The Kingdom of Naples. This empire holds the entire "bootheel" of the Italian peninsula, and it is led by the God-King Roberto il Saggio. It is still reeling from the loss of the breakaway empire of Sicily.

    [] The Kingdom of Navarre. Located in central northeastern Iberia, this small empire is ruled by the God-King Sancho III. The pressure from the larger neighboring empires has put Navarre in a very defensive position despite its role in pushing back the Moors.

    [] The Papal States. Residing in central-eastern Italy, this empire is the heart of the Catholic faith and holds significant sway over all of Christendom. It is ruled by the God-King Pope Innocent III.

    [] The Kingdom of Portugal. Holding the majority of the western coast of Iberia, this empire broke away from Galicia-Leon and is ruled by the God-King Afonso I.

    [] The Duchy of Savoy. This empire resides in a pocket of the Alps slightly to the west of the Italian peninsula and has recently broke away from the Holy Roman Empire. It is ruled by the God-King Charles I the Warrior.

    [] The Kingdom of Sicily. A recent breakaway from Naples, this empire is ruled by the God-King Roger II, who is not content with merely ruling the titular island.

    [] The Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Residing in central-western Italy, this empire is the cultural heart of the peninsula and is the birthplace of the Renaissance movement. It is ruled by the God-King Lorenzo de Medici.

    [] The Most Serene Republic of Venice. Located in northeastern Italy, this wealthy empire commands the Adriatic Sea and has expanded to obtain some land and islands on the northwest coast of the Balkan peninsula. It is ruled by the God-King Enrico Dandolo, who greedily eyes the opportunity to strike at Byzantium before it gets too powerful.

    All hail God-King Pope Innocent III!

    Time for the Re-Reconquista and to launch our trade fleets all over the world.
