I'm sorry but if player creativity is going to be hindered on the grounds of it being "unrealistic" then that is folly.
1) Lief Ericsson discovered America in 900 AD.
2) this is not very long before Columbus discovers America.
3) your reasoning is unrealistic. Tell me, is a Roman Empire that dominates Italy, an Amazonian Empire, a "Mysterious Kingdom" and notable kingdoms that take drugs, kingdoms are based on sweets that don't exist yet, are realistic?
4) Im a GM of an RPG. I let my players opinions be heard.
@Kybro: of course not, that's cheating. It's purely RP.
I try to raise a revolt.
Your are fighting a war of extermination? Who are the barbarians here? Venice moves to intercept the Vale's fleet!
......By Belials triple-horned head. AGAIN!
The mysterious kingdom acquired, in a mysterious way, from some mysterious merchants, some plants that (we were told by the mysterious merchants) are called tobacco. The plant adapted well in southern Spain, and we are willing to open a trade route to Britannia, where we send tobacco and receive some fine goods in return.
I accept. May we flourish. To Britain and the Mysterious lands!
May you enjoy your Tabacco on the deaths of innocent Sicilians and Venetians.
I will.
"Of course he will. He is a barbaroi, my Venetian friends." Queen Penthesilea states. "You can't expect anymore from them. And as for this mysterious plant called 'tobacco'... we despise it and deem it blasphemous! It stains, sickens, and destroys beauty/youthfulness, which is a heinous crime according to our Sacred Scrolls which decree: 'always strive to become more beautiful and remain beautiful'. Tobacco is banned in the Queendom!"
Celebrations and parties are held throughout Amazonia for thirty days and nights to commemorate Princess Alkippe's victory over the valiant Turks in the south-east! The princess splits her forces to conquer more lands from the, now hopefully, broken Turks. The goddesses, Athena and Nike, were with the warrior women this day. Let all Amazons hope and pray that they, and the mother goddess, Kybele, continue to watch over them.Originally Posted by Twilight Sparkle

Meanwhile, in the shipwrights of Antalya a mighty warship (or fleet or whatever) is to be constructed. Sacrifices and prayers are offered up to Athena, Goddess of Crafts/Engineering, and to Amphitrite, Goddess of the Seas, so that they may bless this work.
OOC: I hate tobacco and don't like being around people who use it. My three moves are: attack two regions in the south-east and build a warship/fleet in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea zone. My war in the east is now kind of boring since the player isn't fighting back. Oh well. If I get good rolls, it will be an easy victory. WC
OOC: these aren't cigarettes, with all the crap in there. It's like what the native chiefs use; big pipes that have tobacco leaves and some herbs in there
Plague!For 16 years plague has ravaged the land of Ducmania. The old, the young and the weak have been struck down by this mightiest of foes, and, most shocking of all, even the mighty King Karl has been taken to his grave by this curse of the land.
Despite this mighty blow to the state, the future of Ducmania is not lost, with Prince Stephan being crowned King, and great advances in sanitary practices finally managing to limit the disease.
Now Ducmania is fit to continue it's expansion Stephan leads his ordered the capture of a strategic eastern outpost.

Up there, above that line, is pure, unadulterated idiocy.

We take advantage of the peace to expand further into England.
We move the ship left behind forward.
Finally. Now, our armies shall move further onto the coast.
If my ship had won wouldn't the Vale be unable to attack? Or is it just first come first serve?
Anyways, Venice would like to know what the Britannic Empire means with peace?
Attack again lost territories.
