My Mega Campaign - an initial History

Mowers · 2002-04-20T20:52:28+00:00

For those that took part in my on going mega campaign here are some statistics from the game 1492-1551. I’m trying to build a history so if anyone wants to add what happened below then I’ll add it all in to complete the first EU MP history of the world or something similarly grandiose… There are some awards and a list of players. The awards are entirely judgemental and where decided by me after I had eaten a box of sugarpuffs and had no sleep- so I’m a bit of a mess. Mega Campaign list of players 1492-1505- The Franco-Spanish wars The game opens in the West. France is obliged to turn away from the Austrian Netherlands as Spain decides not to seek America and break the power of France, the wars go Spains way and border provinces are exchanged. This leaves Austria to secure its borders and build strong alliances in the Germany. Portugal and England take over South and North America respectively. Both establishing very powerful bases. 1492- 1500 Austria -BenM Spain -Joachim I France -Claus Boehm England -McGuigan I Papal States -Alma 1500-1503 Austria - -BenM Spain -Joachim I France -Claus Boehm England -McGuigan I Sweden -Prince Eugene Portugal -Kasperus 1503-1505 Austria -BenM Spain- -King Wittlesbach France -Claus Boehm England -McGuigan I Portugal -Adago 1505-1518- The Great Baltic War Spain changes leadership and changes to a Colonial strategy, taking over Central America very rapidly, whilst France regains some of the border provinces it previously lost. Portugal continues to develop, conquering parts of the Inca Empire and colonising most of modern day Brazil.The action switchs to the East with Sweden and Muscowy fighting it out. Both sides are left exhausted with Muscowy having a slightly upper hand gaining One province after a very long war. Sweden seems shattered. 1505-1509 Austria -Ahlecs Spain -BenM France -Claus Boehm England -Reiryc Portugal -Adago 1509-1512 Spain -BenM Muscowy- -Laxen Portugal -Adago Sweden -Sniper 1512-1518 Spain -BenM Muscowy -McGuigan I Portugal -Adago Sweden -Sniper 1518-1531- The Rise of Denmark Now the play is firmly in the East. Denmark grows substantially in Northern Germany taking many minor provinces. The Ottomans crush the Mameluks breaking their power but they remain in the game with Most of North Africa. Sweden is forced to spend much of this time rebuilding after the disasterous war against Russia. Russia, too, has to rebuild but is soon on the March south. Austria take control of Hungary and becomes a substantial central European player with firm economic foundations 1518-1522 Ottoman Empire -BenM Poland -Kili Denmark -Waldzberg Austria -Raubritter/ Baron Hungary -Adago Sweden -Sniper 1522-1529 Ottoman Empire - BenM Denmark -Waldzberg Austria -Raubritter/ Baron Sweden -Sniper Russia -McGuigan I 1529-1530 Ottoman Empire -BenM Denmark -Waldzberg Austria -Raubritter/ Baron Sweden -Sniper Russia -McGuigan I 1531-1551- Russia Emerges Denmark, with a poor reputation is slowly but surely broken by continous war and finally broken by Sweden as a major power. Bohemia is establish as a major power, strong economic foundations are built. Naples makes a challenge for Major power status but is stopped by the overwhelming power of Italy and Spain, thus consigning it to minor power status. Austria continues to develop but does not expand. Whilst Russia finally establish its self as the predominate power on the Steppes. 1530-1531 Ottoman Empire -BenM Denmark -Waldzberg Austria -Raubritter/ Baron Sweden -Sniper Russia -McGuigan I 1531-1544 Denmark -BenM Austria -Raubritter/ Baron Bohemia -Almabot Naples -William 1544-1551 Sweden -Laxen Russia -Lordlag Denmark -BenM Austria -Raubritter/ Baron Most years 1. Mowers (BenM) -59 years 2. Raubritter / Baron -31 years 3. McGuigan I -28 years (on a 56K modem…) 4. Sniper -22 years 5. Adago -19 years 6. Claus Boehm -17 years 7. Alama -17 years 8. Waldzberg -13 years 9 William -12 years 10. Joachim I -11 years Longest play as one country 1. 31 years -Raubritter / Baron -Austria 2. 22 years- Sniper -Sweden 3. 17 years- Clause Boehm -France 4. 16 years- BenM -Spain 5. 15 years- McGuigan I -Muscowy Longest war- 6 years -Sniper (Sweden) V McGuigan I (Muscowy) Most brilliant career – Alma as Bohemia – He gave Bohemia economic foundations that will keep it in the game for a long time. 2nd most brilliant career- Adago as Portugal. Mainly because it’s the first time I’ve seen Portugal actually do very much. He has managed to turn South America green in 15 years which is pretty impressive Best Recovery- Sniper (Sweden) Biggest bad boy – Waldzberg (Denmark) Most territory lost – BenM as Denmark (5 Provinces )

Hmm.. Wasn't Laxen England in 1567-1572?

I recall him begging for his life as my Spanish Armada landed in Kent.
