Colonialism (II) - The Age of Discovery
The Vikings were the first Europeans to reach the Americas, starting but then abandoning a colonisation process.
The first phase of modern European activity in this region began with the oceanic crossings of Christopher Columbus (1492-1500). 1492 marked the discovery of the Americas by modern Europeans and it was not long after this that Castile began the conquest of South America and the Caribbean.
Improvements in technology made the European voyages of exploration possible and made the clash between different cultures inevitable. The riches of gold and land in the New World intensified Old World rivalries and began a commercial revolution. Britain, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and Habsburg Spain, vied for world dominance.

The time: 1516-1789 The objective: Build an empire and take over the world, in one way or the other.

tech trading is allowed?

[Dario]

Tech trading is not allowed, i forgot to mention it. thnx

[Radyserb]

We should per houserules limit the buildings of fortresses too... I discussed this thing with Atze. Maybe pro 4 people in a city, there should be one fortress possible? In your homeland you can build fortresses without limit.

You forgot 2 other rules: No conquests in East and Central Europe and no transport of fortresses per ship...

-No reloading of any kind
-No tech exchange

Schon wieder

Zieh mal lieber erstmal Aeterna

[Dario]

oh!. Cobra, one of the most hard players taking the most powerfull civ.

Well, the player list is done, we have to get in line about the final set of house rules...

[Rebelious]

-Suez and Panama shortcuts can not be used; All units will have to circumnavigate along Cape Hope and Cape Horn

Also NO Kiel canal, NO ishtmus of Corinth and NO Bosphorus right?

[Dario]

okey rebelious.


about fortresses: if you have a city size 4, you can own a fortress, if you have 8, you can have two fortresses and so on? I accept it, let's see the what think the rest...

also, it's fine by me you can build the amount of fortresses you wish in your homeland, afther all, that's the only way to prevent quick invasions

[cupcoffee]

Just so I don't misunderstand:
size 4-7 one fort
size 8-11 two forts
size 12-15 three forts, and so on, right?

Also, should the homeland count as all of Europe or just your starting cities in Europe? Like if France takes London, should it count as a French colony with the same fort rules as if it were a city in America, so it will be easier for the English to take back?

edit: The canal rules are more to prevent players from skipping making those huge voyages around the capes.
And while it's true the canal of Corinth wasn't built during this time period, the Bosporus has been used since ancient times.
