OOC: Don't you mean West Africa?

Andalusian colonization: Many native tribes of Africa have joined the Caliphate, and so the colonization is progressing quite well.

To: Al-Andalus
From: Venice

We hope you meant West Africa, as East Africa is currently being settled by us.
The Venetian Doge never liked backstabbers, especially given the current alliance there is between our nations.

To: Persia
From: Venice
(secret)
We agree, we will help you against Turkestan in exchange for the Crimean area and some of India. We are very pleased with the way our relations are going.(/secret)

was going to call Singapore Malacca but I decided against it. Also, Turkestan here is the same as the Timurid/Mughal Empire.

Now I see, it looks indeed very much EU2ish I must say, great job

To: Ethiopia
From: Venice

We thank you for the your help in putting down the native revolt in Somaliland.

--------------

orders:

- Send more settlers in Somaliland, this time start with small trading posts along the coast so that the natives will get used to whites, (later on I'll expand those trading posts into colonies).
- Send a few army regiment to protect the new trading posts in Somaliland.
- Expand Trade in India by sending merchants in every major Indian trading center.

[civman2000]

Venetian colonization: The native tribes have agreed to allow trading posts, but demand that Venetian troops be withdrawn or else they will destroy the posts.

Norman Diplomacy

Emissary to Venice
Yes, we will sell these maps for 500 bottles of Venetian wine, for our Generals wish to celebrate victories when the time comes.

Emissary to HRE
The Duke or Coburg's relative has been spoken to by our officials, and is under watch.

Norman Military

West Newfoundland exploration
Explorers are now scouting the area west of the Newfoundland colony

Continued colonisation of Newfoundland
More peasents are being sent to help the colonists, along with parcels of food for the colonists.

Military push
After the army has grown to "medium" and the navy is "Large", they are growing to "Large" and "Huge" respectively. This will be achieved in 4 years.

Merchants sent to Venice
Merchants have been sent all over the Venetian territories, establishing trade routes.

Persia:
To Turkestan: Surrender the Indus valley to me or face invasion.
To Venice and Golden Horde (SECRET): Please honor your alliances with me and help me in my coming war with Turkestan (I hoghly doubt they'll accept my demands, and if they do I'll make more).

Norman Colonization/Exploration:
The Newfoundland colony continues to expand, though some of the native tribes further inland are looking toward an alliance with Abenaki to stop the growth of the colony. However, Abenaki has become crippled by a mysterious and devastating plague (OOC: smallpox).

Norman explorers have discovered the west coast of Newfoundland.

To: Turkestan
We renew our demands for that land south of us if you don't give them up its war.

To: Persia (secret)
That message to Turkestan is to start the war.

[Sheep]

Al- Andus is to continue the push to take as much of Africa as possible.

China to Venice, Persia, Golden Horde:

A state's strength is in its people, and a people's strength is in their stomachs. We would like to trade crop samples so that we all may have more diversified and therefore surer and larger agricultural yields.


Attempt to found a colony in Africa.

Expand colonies in Australia.

Send out missionaries and caravans to areas neighboring the mainland or neighboring colonies to show the strength and wisdom of the Chinese state and create a favorable impression of China in inhabitants of neighboring areas.

[civman2000]

Uncontrolled nations:
Turkestan, knowing they are to be attacked by both Persia and Golden Horde, has launched a sneak attack against both of them. Although of course both were mobilized and ready to fight back, the Turk strategy surprised them enough to make someprogress into their territories.
Turkestan to SIngapore: Honro your alliance and aid us iin our war against these Shiites and backward westerners!

Persia:
To Venice (SECRET): We need your help right now. If you make a surprise attack, they will be destroyed because their armies are on our front.
To Al-Andalus: WE request that you honor your alliance with the Golden Horde and aid them against Turkestan.
To CHina: Agreed. (SECRET) Help us against Turkestan now and you will get some of the spoils!

Andalusian colonization: Al-Andalus has somewhat easily expanded into the Sahara.

Chinese colonization: The attempt to make an African colony has failed, but the Australian colonies have grown a lot and the norhtern and soutehrn parts have united.

Norman Domestic Affairs
Mass colinisation of Newfoundland
Due to the rich resources of Newfoundland, and success of prior colonies, many Normans have been tempted to settle there, especially prisoners hoping to start a brand new life with a clean record. 500 troops are also being sent with the mass to protect the areas.

Trade with Abenaki and other native tribes
Normandy has offered the native tribes of Newfoundland a trade pact, so they can experience Caucasian peoples first hand. Also, they are offered the oppurtunity to join Normandy so they can gain technological advancements.

[civman2000]

Norman colonization: Newfoundland has grown a good deal, and many of the native tribes have agreed to trade. However, Abenaki has fomred a coalition wiht other tribes that threatens to attack any tribe that thinks of actually joining Newfoundland.

[Frozzy]

Norman Diplomacy
Emissary to Abenaki
Your threats to neighbours are uncalled for. If they wish to join our nation then what right do you have to stop them!
Stand down from your position or feel the wrath of Normandy!

Norman Domestic Affairs
More Norman Colonisation
King Frozzy wishes the island south of the Newfoundland colonies to be claimed in the name of the King. Colonisation will begn there...
