We've got a significant chunk of Asian countries empty; 2-3 IIRC that are designed as player nations.

Thinking it over.  I'm not sure if I can grasp my head around an asian culture (at least a real one) without it seeming more europeans/american n nature.   I mean I could make it work, but would it be "realistic"?

I'm understanding that most of the world is not colonized...or did something happen to implode the easy empires?  Meaning civilization has been around the world, but the ruling forces never took hold in say Africa, South America, and India?

Also, is everyone suppose to start of on a roughly even level?

and Poland is open to I think Ithekro (ok ill shut up about it :-X ), we are all to be roughly equal (some things will obviously depend on personal taste)

Give me some pros and cons...Korea vs Poland in N4.  Assuming there is nothing in the Indian Ocean area that would be even remotely viable (an ocean power as oppose to a sea power)

Tanthalas

I supose it would largly depend on you, I felt I was incapable of accuratly being a Oriental.  Korea is in a very very good posistion (last time I looked anyway).  I would recomend Poland personaly especialy since it has more room for expansion and access to the med.

That's basically two sea fleets, both rather restricted by potential opponents and not really able to reenforce each other (Baltic Fleet and Black Sea Fleet)  Or pretty much instant conflict with the likes of Japan, but with a potental commanding position in the local seas (and protental historical experiance in armored warships). Hmmmm.

I'm unconvinced about Poland based on what I can find about the Commonwealth Navy and actions of the Early Russian Navy in the regions (The Russian Navy is impressive at around this time, but I'm not sure I like the situation of having two split fleets that can easily be bottled up with use of mine fields.

While I doubt I can pull off a convincing Asian, much less a Korean national, I like the historical potential of the Joseon Navy and their preference for lots of strength, guns, and manuverability in all conditions (mostly the guns), and the use of iron-armored ships as early as the 1590s.

Snug... I think Jam Packed is a more apropriat description... Poland is Available in Europe I think (even if it semi sucks because the Romans control the straits) and there is at least one china left in Asia.  Thats it curently as far as I know (although the mods proly know more than I do)
