I'd like to begin a game where I challenge my AE Forum members to guess the date of a given map that I post. I will keep track of those who are the first to guess them. Also, I'll accept the century that the Map dates from as a right answer. Good luck I hope this will be fun.

Moved to a more appropriate forum. Nice initiative though. 
Well, giving a link to a file on your harddisc won't get us started.

You should not feel the need to cheat, I purposely began this quiz with a easy question. It really isn't that hard, in fact there is a pretty obvious clue on the map if you know your medieval history. Also, if no one gets it in a couple of days I'll start to give out clues. Just guess and I'll tell you if you are close. And thank you for moving it to a more appropriate destination. |

| Cheat? The link goes to your harddisc which means no one can see it. You need to put the picture on a server and link to that. |

You're are right it is actually 814. I'll post a new map tommorrow and promise it will be much harder. I'll ask you to guess the time period within a couple of decades. For right now, one for Janus Rook. |

Notice also the Russian Khanatess, particulary Kazan, when did they get
spanked? Around the time that St. Basils was commisioned, so IIRC, it
has to be before 1550. 1540 looks about right, or maybe 1530. ------------- Arrrgh!!"

Hard to tell whether it's Austrian or Spanish since those countries has the same colours - but since Hungary was taken by the Turk in the early 1540s, and the Order broken up in the late 1550s, I think that's a pretty good guess (I of course, choose the middle value  ).

It was Spanish. The Spanish Netherlands (aka Belgium, the Netherlands were already independent) were handed over to Austria in 1713. ------------- |

Orange was already determined and I must say that I am quite spectable about your answers. They are too accurate. No one in this forum has actually been able to guess on the exact year. I hope you did not cheat. But, I'll trust you and award you four points. Only Green now remains.

Incorrect. If you do a little research that's fine but if you look at the actual map that is cheating.
