Caption contest: what is @Shakesey thinking?

Well, isn't this a surprise! Not everyday you see a giant army at your doorstep. I would've baked a cake, but I reckon it wouldn't feed all of you. Listen, before we go to battle, here are some things you should know about our local etiquette: Shoes off at the gates, please. We just got the desert floors swept; our camels are a bit touchy. Give them their space; sunscreen - seriously, the Sahara doesn't play around.
 
Good news @Shakesey, you have a new capital. Because @BD took the old one. He only took that, though. Also @Crackers is incredibly still alive. He now has a total of four provinces in Iberia + the Azores and his one colony. @Solius 100% deliberately only demanded the provinces he himself was occupying, refusing to demand the provinces @BD was sitting on. (And it goes without saying that @RedSky was just along for the fun).

Oh yeah, and Organic Potatoes took Bath from @Welsh Wonder.

I'll post a map with the stats update in not too long.
 
This is the life of a War Mongering scholar. I talk about destroying my enemies, I discuss my two ideas with my allies and then I sit back and get pissed while my allies take all the loot and land. What a lad.

You can't say I'm not fair.
 
You're still alive, but you're surrounded by countries that wouldn't mind some more of your provinces.

The others that have been reduced that much never really got going, but your country was looking quite strong for a while. I think the choice in allies doomed you.
I spy more land for me :drool:
 
I assume Sultan von Walrus has been busy all this time, improving the infrastructure, modernising the army, funding great national initiatives that will somehow let him deal with fecking hobbers.
 
I'll still be sat with the same tiny bit of land, deciding to not move at all. I've basically become Monaco

See! All your fault @Andycoleno9!
 
You and @V.O. just seem happy to be who you are. It's very inspiring, really.

I'll always be able to look back fondly at that couple of months in 1491 when my guys did something. Or were at least allied to guys who were doing something.

1531 (Click the picture to make it bigger - you can also open/download all the maps so far (1444, 1472, 1502, 1531) and easily compare the progress

From next update on I expect a lot more colonies, so then I'll start doing some views of other places in the world too. We're already missing quite a bit of Wing Attack Plan R, and also the still very few colonies (Shakesey, SilentWitness, Crackers, BD and Organic Potatoes)

Ideas (these are basically upgrades you can take that come in Administrative, Diplomatic and Military, using the currency generated (generally) by the skills of your ruler. I'll go into a bit more detail about these when I do country-by-country updates a bit later today, but they're one way of measuring how well you're doing that doesn't necessarily relate directly to your number of provinces or the size of your armies. If you're conquering a lot you'll probably use a lot of Administrative power on making the new provinces cores, so maybe won't have as much to spend on new ideas)

Most developed province (this is still just the Cafites) - You use Monarch Power to develop these, directly from the skills I detailed in my explanation for Ideas. Guess who got a good monarch and hasn't done a lot that of other stuff that costs Power.
