486 World Situation (1/2)

As the flames of war brewed in China, the rest of the world was not peaceful either. Along with the 3rd year of Gaia coming along, the situation in the entire world slowly evolved.

Some small countries had limited land space, limited players, and limited population. After two years, the top powers in the country had showed themselves, as they started to consolidate the strength of the country and unite it.

The situation in the different regions grew clearer and clearer.

The most obvious one was Europe. Norway, Iceland, Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries had already been unified. Germany, England, France, Switzerland, and the like were all approaching such a situation.

In his past life, the entire Europe Continent had even formed an alliance. The European Alliance was a mega region that the world could not underestimate.

The only group that could go up against these Lords were the aboriginals.

Similar to the peasant uprisings, Gaia had thrown in similar aboriginal powers based on their history to go up against the Lords.

All in all, Gaia would not allow the Lords to relax.

The wilderness was always a place fraught with dangers and opportunities.

Compared to them, China had a longer history. In terms of battles and aboriginals, there were many choices. Other countries were different, as their olden times were relatively non-existent.

One could even say that some modern-day countries lacked a history.

Toward these groups, Gaia also had its way.

Even if history did not record such matters, Gaia took ideas from books, films, and movies to create battle scenarios for the Lords.

If even film products were too little, Gaia could only use its robust calculation and speculation abilities to create a cold weapons era scenario.

All in all, toward each country, Gaia would try its best to remain fair.

That was right, try its best.

Still, with China as an example. China had a long history with many great talents and a more detailed recording. The numerous battles and generals were all recorded. Hence, Gaia had plentiful amount of information to work with. Therefore, regarding building such characters, Gaia could grant them higher tier AI.

On the contrary, for those characters that Gaia made up, their AI values would naturally be lower. This was a difference between cultures of countries, so no one could really complain about this aspect.

In comparison, Europe was more special.

A few massive empires that spanned across the entire continent had appeared in European history. Amongst which, the biggest one that covered the most land space was the Rome Empire.

Hence, the Lords of Europe even had a chance to compete and fight with one another.

The moment the battles reached such an era, the countries that were originally involved could all join the same battle.

As a result of such interactions, the various countries would form alliances.

Of course within the European Continent, there were many ambitious players. For example, France, who had given birth to Napolean's country, and Italy, where the Rome Empire was born.

All in all, the countries in Europe were allies but also competitors. Their relationship was highly complicated and difficult to describe in words.

Apart from that, there were two other reasons behind Europe’s strength.

Firstly, Europe had given birth to many strong seafaring countries, and even some overlords of the oceans.

Portugal, Spain, Holland, France, and England; these countries were all strong on the sea. Hence, Gaia took such matters into account when it set their technology tree.

As a result, these countries, be it sailors, shipbuilding techniques, or sea navigation techniques, they were stronger than other countries.

The navies of these countries were all progressing rapidly. Their voyagers could even start long distance adventures to open up ocean routes.

They were the greatest opponents of the Shanhai City Navy and even their enemy.

If based on wooden ships, the Ming Dynasty warships stood on the same level. However, the moment these countries developed iron-armored warships, even the strongest turreted ships could not compete.

As such, from the start, Ouyang Shuo had built up the No.7 Research Institute to research relevant technology. Although they could not compete with England and Holland, at least they would not fall too far behind.

Secondly, Europe was where the industrial revolution started.

The revolution of technology was the deadliest.

Avic Fort's steam engine research had entered its final stages. At half a year later at the most, the first steam engine would appear in the world.

The roots of the industrial revolution were slowly growing.

The moment it exploded out in England and spread out to the entire Europe, it would bring about a terrifying strength.

In his last life, China did not have the ability to fight against these countries.

Europe was a continent that they could not look down upon.

Apart from Europe, Africa, and Asia were all quickly reaching unification.

On the Africa Continent, the prominent chiefs held absolute power. Hence, they did not even need to compete and could unify their country easily.

Below them were the intermediate and small chiefs.

In Africa, chiefs were people that were feared and worshipped. They were the rulers of the tribes and had control over various factors.
