Conquering Paradise: 1492 - An Age of Exploration NRP

[AegonVI]

Created by AegonVI, Presented for the First Time by AegonVI

Hello and welcome to Conquering Paradise: 1492! The date is January 1st, 1492 and it is the year Christopher Columbus is to sail the ocean blue. You, the player, must take the reigns of a nation and lead it through this revolutionary time. Although European exploration of the New World will be a big part of this RP in the early stages, it is not the only part and any nation is up for grabs!
More than that, the New World has been turned into a fantasy setting! "What does that mean?" I hear you ask. Well, it means that the New World doesn't only have humans on it, but also fantasy humanoid races for nations and fantasy creatures like dragons and unicorns exist alongside the likes of bears and llamas. There isn't explicit magic in the New World (i.e. spells, wizards, enchanted items, etc.) but all civilizations are completely unique. And you can be one!

Gameplay:
This RP will be largely free-form, played with high casual/advanced sized posts to play out your nation. I want you to try to keep it realistic (which I realize is slightly ironic), but in large part what happens is up to you. Want to play Castille and not fund Christopher Columbus? That's fine. Europe won't know about the New World until later. More specific rules in the OOC.



Some Available Nations:
Castille
England
Portugal
Aragon
France
Denmark
Norway
Ottoman Empire
Korea
(Not Limited to These)

OR

Player Created New World Nations

So... Any interest in the idea? Post a list of your top three (3) nations you want to play with "New World Nation" if you want to play one of them, and provide either a portion of the map for the area you want (preferable) or a description (as detailed as possible) and I'll try my best to get that for you.

I was thinking that it would be realism and have humans in it, but it's all fantasy. Sorry, I would not be entering this RP at all.

Oh God, that Europa Universalis map.

More or less my thoughts.

Actually a good point. I don't remember why I originally planned that to go in, but I changed it.

Fairly random available nations list.

[Work_U_Dumb]

I just wanted to throw up some that might not be thought of. Not the only available nations.

I'm going to have to say no to that, sorry. The idea is to recreate the New World with fantasy elements...

[Work_U_Dumb]

But you just said you would take out the fantasy part

Read what I edited. I was taking out the lack of humans part. New World civs are still player created with fantasy elements (preferably).

But, why? It doesn't make any sense to have fantasy elements during the 1400s, but if it was during the Middle Ages, then I would understand.

[Work_U_Dumb]

oh ok. Then i call Korea!

Why does it make more sense to do it in the Middle Ages instead of the Age of Exploration? Just because of what most High Fantasy Literature dictates? It's an idea I've had for a long time that essentially sprung from "What if Columbus encountered dragons in the New World?"

I'm not sure I understand your logic. Why are fantasy elements restricted to the Early Middle Ages?

To be fair, fantasy doesn't make sense anywhere. That's why it's fantasy.

But I agree that I'd prefer an RP like this to be more historical and realistic, than fantasy.

Would you guys want me to make one without fantasy stuff
