- The Hundred Years
  War (1337-1453) ended English dynastic claims in France (battles
  of Crécy, 1346, and Poitiers, 1356; Joan of Arc executed,
  1431). A French Renaissance, dating from royal invasions (1494,
  1499) of Italy, was encouraged at the court of Francis I (r. 1515-47),
  who centralized taxation and law. French vernacular literature consciously
  asserted its independence (La Pléiade, 1549).
- Wars of the
  Roses (1455-85)

- - English trade
    (wool exports from c. 1340) was protected by the nation's
    growing maritime power (Spanish Armada destroyed, 1588).
  - The bubonic plague reached Europe
    from the E in 1348, killing up to half the population by 1350. Labor
    scarcity forced wages to rise and brought greater freedom to the
    peasantry, making possible peasant uprisings (Jacquerie
    in France, 1358; Wat Tyler's rebellion in England, 1381).
  - Beginning in 1418, expeditions from Portugal explored
    the W coast of Africa, until Vasco da Gama rounded the Cape of Good
    Hope in 1497 and reached India. A Portuguese trading empire was
    consolidated by the seizure of Goa (1510) and Malacca (1551). Japan
    was reached in 1542.
  - Muslim dynasties ruled unchallenged in the 16th and 17th cent. The
    Mughal dynasty of India, founded by Persianized Turkish invaders
    from the NW under Babur, dates from their 1526 conquest of the Delhi
    Sultanate. The dynasty ruled most of India for more than 200 years,
    surviving nominally until 1857
  - The Ming emperors (1368-1644),
    the last native dynasty in China, wielded unprecedented personal
    power, while the Confucian bureaucracy began to suffer from inertia.
  - Japan. After the decline of the first hereditary
    shogunate (chief generalship) at Kamakura (1185-1333),
    fragmentation of power accelerated, as did the consequent social
    mobility. Under Kamakura and the Ashikaga shogunate (1338-1573),
  - the daimyos (lords) and samurai (warriors) grew more powerful and
    promoted a martial ideology.

Sandbox of Rules Fall 2008 - Cultural Anthropology @ KSU

- Advantages of Rounds:
  Provides a clear moment for people to "feed themselves."
  Mark symbolic time (e.g. Round 1=1450-1650, Round 2=1650-1750, etc.)
  Provides opportunities to provide envelopes with additional hard power, technologies, etc that represent changes over time.
- Subsistence: This should be the "engine" of the game. We need something that people must do in order to survive and prosper.
  
  Must haves ...
  a way to symbolize famine
  a way for colonizers to take over the land and disrupt the subsistence pattern (one idea, if using items found on campus, perhaps a flag represents land possesion and if you lose your flag in a war or to colonizers you have to go to whoever owns your flag for harvesting permission and pay taxes?)
- 5 more annotations...
- - Global Economy:
    
    Must haves ...
    
    items found in different regions of the world must be combinable into items of greater worth
    some items should only be found in certain regions of the world, simulating the relative scarcity and abundance of items around the world
  - Foreign Affairs: We have to create a "game within the game" of foreign affairs (wars, diplomacy, etc.)
    
    Must haves ...
    a way for cultures to "go to war" with one another and establish dominance
    war should involve some risk for the attacker
    a culture's "hard power" could naturally increase or decrease as their technology and population change
    Option One: Keep it as it was in Spring 2008. Hard Power cards are distributed before the beginning of the simulation based on various cultural characteristics (population, technology, social organization, political organization, values, etc.) Cultures can attack one another using these cards. The winner of a war takes over the "power X" of that culture and can now dictate what is done with the land.
  - Natural Resources: We need to have limited natural resources available to represent the limited resources on planet earth. The race for natural resources should become a "game within the game" played *only* by those who need them (industrialized states).
    
    Must haves ...
    
    must be limited
    should be difficult to find or "refine"
    finding natural resources could automatically increase the culture's hard power or overall wealth (in the past they have had to trade them in to a TA or Professor Wesch ... this may be difficult if we are playing around campus).
    Option One: Keep it as it was in Spring 2008. Natural resources were represented by yellow notecards that were separated into small pieces and hidden throughout the room. Industrializing states had to find them and then hire "miners" to put them together for them. One complete card could be traded in for additional hard power and new technologies to improve natural resource extraction (these were given in the form of hints about where to find more). There were only enough Yellow Cards to last until the simulated year of 2070 (so we ran out before the end, reaching an energy crisis).
  - Mobility Restrictions: We need a way to simulate the limits of where people could travel at different stages in the simulation. Colonizers should be able to travel virtually anywhere from the start of the game. Others will need to be much more limited, based on their technology.
    
    Must haves ...
    limits to mobility that are realistic based on a culture's technology, etc.
    mobility could expand as the game progresses and a culture gets more technology or sets up trade routes, etc.
    we could use actual items to simulate different mobility restrictions (for example, more technologically advanced cultures could use scooters or bikes to move around)
    Option One: Keep it as it was in Spring 2008. Each culture creates a "mobility map" before the start of the simulation that realistically shows where they would be able to travel during the simulation. If they want to travel to a culture that is not on their mobility map, they must travel with somebody who can take them further (like hitching a ride)
  - Other interesting factors that take care of themselves: The following are aspects of the simulation that do not require symbolic forms. They can be performed directly by players in the simulation.
    
    Religion & Missionization: players can proslytize as they wish
    Propaganda: players can try to create a good impression
    Soft Power: players can try to influence each other through diplomacy, aid, propaganda etc.
    Gestures: gestures help simulate ideas that are hard to quantify, such as nationalism and culture loss.
    To simulate culture diffusion, cultures could teach each other their gestures as a sign of friendship and peace.
    To simulate culture loss, colonized cultures could have to learn and use the gestures of their colonizers.
    If every culture had a "sacred" gesture, these rules/suggestions could be particularly powerful.
