[quote=@Frengo] Of course! I haven't claimed it, was just looking to over take it with my Anglo friends ;) I was sneakily trying to recreate a Medieval France, where it was all torn apart by civil strife and where any form of civil government was broadly ignored by powerful warlords. Meanwhile England was all like, yo sup can i get me some of dat wine plz? cheeeeers. There was much more to it than that, but bite me. I'll be finishing my sheet later, but so that we don't conflit, here's a few key points: [list][*]Normandy got out of the bunker later than the others, and was in no shape to go toe-to-toe with the more established French factions. [*]Normandy has superior crops, owing to all the research they plied into genetically altering them for the 200 years that they were underground. These crops are able to better withstand the battered landscape than generic breeds, leading to better yield and greater surplus. [*]The other factions were like "Whoa yeah want me some of that" and tried to take it by force. [*]After almost being annihilated in a short span of time, the Normans reached out to the English, and offered them a one-sided trade deal in return for military resistance. [*]The British arrived in force, beat off the local warlords, and went about strengthening their newly found Norman friends with weapons and training. [*]With the RP's start, Normandy will be as militarily advanced as the British, and there will be a sizable British presence there. [*]Normandy's government will be looking to launch an invasion of mainland France, almost immediately.[/list] That's what I've got so far. Anything there you see a problem with? [/quote] Let me just remind you (and everyone) that colonization is allowed, meaning that someone like the British (If they wanted) could begin taking from unclaimed French territory, and you yourself could take some without warring with the French at first. Of course I'll just have random events popup starting revolts from some of the tribes, but that is to be expected.
