Bump Nilat!

[Nilat]

Hey, sorry guys! I broke my PC whilst changing my graphics card, but now It's OK (The PCI-E got messed up). I'm in school now but I'll post the turn when I'm ready. So sorry about the delay!

The dutch navy is closing in on the coast of Mexico.

Posting on Rebel's behalf:

El Imperio Español – Año 1519 DC

*To be sure one more Conquistadores took positions in Florida ready for the attack on Calusa next turn

*Nicahao captured without losses and Conquistadores wins veteran status! Renamed Costa Rica

*One COASTAL Dutch caravel (with cargo) detected near Florida…strange to see such a kind of vessel at the other side of the Atlantic

I took the risk and it payed off. Wouldn't have been a great loss if it would have sunk.

To avoid misunderstandings here's some house rules:

-No founding of unrealistic cities in Europe/North Africa/Middle East (i.e. no Dutch cities in Egypt or English in Scandinavia. A french city in france on the other hand is allowed).
-All cargo ships must circumnavigate Africa/South America, and not create chain cities from coast to coast, or any other chains that may reduce the intended voyage.
-Ships/artillery outside Europe only allowed to be built in size 8+ cities.
-No capturing of Scandinavia and nations east of Germany. Nor can the Ottoman Empire's cities be captured.
-No bribing of units/cities.

Remember these, and ask if in doubt of an action before acting!

Suggested VP system:

Diplomacy points
01. -50 points for declaring war without a legitimate casus belli.
02. -25 points for provoking the other civ to declare war.

Civilised points
03. +1 point for every trade route established
04. +10 points for every city founded

Technological points
05. +5 points for every civil tech discovered.
06. -5 points for every military tech discovered.

War points
07. +25 points for capturing an enemy capitol city (points lost upon enemy recapture).
08. -25 points for losing capitol city (points won back upon recapture).

Speak now or these will be our official VP points to gain/lose.

sorry eivind, but i dont want a VP system here.
let´s just play the game.

[Eurisko]

I think that the overall population of a civ, the number of cities founded and other colonialism-related data should also be considered for the VPs.

[Nilat]

And also, the VP system really discourages militarism, which isn't a bad thing necessarily!

[Nilat]

Dutch forces land in Mexico. After their capture, an inspection will be made for any intrusive forces. We know how the Spaniards can be over-imperialistic.
