Retech

Of course we'd have to set a baseline standard first. It's really hard figuring out anything without a baseline. That's why we should just have production points as a baseline to work with, like for example you can tell that a sub is about five times more expensive than a vehicle. Basically a guideline more than a rule.

Population: Relatively high Location: Japan/lots of minerals, little farmland, but Kelp is grown in oceans Government type: Socialist/Monarchy Morale: Brainwashed Lolz

Well I'm pretty much thinking that France and Britain would have 20, and the rest of us 10. They'd have unique negatives like being raided more by pirates, rebellions, mutiny, religious revolution, democratic fervor, etc etc.

Yah, I meant light. I was thinking heavy troops, lolz. Anyways, with France and Britain, they have larger empires, so they should have larger armies and populations. However, they have the fact that they receive more negative random events (mutiny and rebellion). I think that would make more sense.

Heavy up to 2,000. Eh, I'm pretty sure Sere and Dusty can decided whether they want to deal with famines and mutinies. :D

I guess so, but a small sub would be just as strong as a big sub, as one torpedo hit.... Anyways, my subs are equipped with steam-propelled torpedos which harness the water around it. ----------------- Also, you should make it more like 10,000 ultra light.

Why would subs be ultra-heavy? It seems to me that they're like regular vehicles. At least they are for me, since I don't need a system to keep them alive (no need to stop water from leaking in). I like the direction you're going for though. I was thinking some nations (like France and Britain) could get twice the number of points, but suffer more random events.

Errrrrrrrrr, I would not want to be fighting a nation with that anthem. I think my anthem is much sweeter.

Naval: 3 Army: 4 Airpower: 5 (The values are rather strong, but you'd suffer from more random events, like mutiny and the like) ----------- Maybe you'd invent a Zepplin or something (can't spell)? I'm assuming that both you and Britain would have strong surface naval fleets, though Britain would have a big edge. You'd be able to counter with the blimps.

Here's roughly what my nation is at this point: -Mainly steam-powered, with experiments being conducted on geothermal (the main issue isn't getting to the power, it's using it) -Unique powerful Submarine Advantages (Cheaper or More powerful/different kinds) far more powerful than a nation that just specializes in subs because my nation has no aeroplanes (that's what I call em). -Lives Underwater around islands/underwater tunnels in islands/inland tunnels connected to the water -Amphibious Species/Very good at water based combat and can move through water without transports, but hates the desert) -Farms kelp and krill -Hunts whale -Fiercely protective of territory, and will do anything to seize South-East Asian islands ------------------------------------------------ I'm thinking that all nations start with a standing army and a few ships/airships here and there. Also, some nations would have greater populations and armies than others, at the disadvantage of far worse random events and being attacked more by pirates. What do you think?

Ok, here's the Japanese anthem. It's carried over, even when the humans were all mercilessly slaughtered. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya9iPEa9ucc Success!

Hail French Empire! I am of the Lichtes empire, eminent power in the South Pacific. Are you interested in productive trade and peace? ------------- The Japanese anthem: How do you embed the video?

You gotta say that they were pregnant. :thumbsup: Also, do you have more than 5 red rooms? If not, they would starve.

Ow, broken extendable fingers. <_< Hits Ross over the head with a chair and throws a stool.

That paints a picture that I don't wanna think of. I come back into the tavern with a set of extendable arms and begin poking everyone in the eyes with them.

You see, there's already basically a Southeast Asian federation. Maratha is an Indian empire. However, I know you're going to try to conquer South-East Asia. I'll split it with you. You can have the land part of Asia, and I'll take the sea. I'll start colonizing China for you, so incase you don't want to play nice, I have something, but as soon as I get South-East Asian islands (maybe Hawaii too) I'll give the rest to you.

I thought some people start with certain things? My nation is amphibious, but it doesn't seem to have any amphibious tech. I'd like my sub. Anyways, did you read my history Archi for Japan? Is it feasible?

Pokes Hex in the eyes.

I'm assuming the following techs are available to most people: Basic Airships Basic Submarines Rifles Basic "Tanks" Basic Ships ---------------- Then there are specialties to consider, which could be debated.

May I have an unique submarine Archi?

What's your special airship design? I think it would be cool if everyone had a unique warship.

Alrighty, but I was going to invade China if no one took it. Anyways Grim, I suggest that you take China instead of Malaysia. I'll be making a play on those Pacific islands and I'll assure you, amphibious aliens with steam punk technology rule. History of the USSRJ (United Soviet Socialist Republics of Japan): Japan evolved from its ancient roots to become an isolationist nation with little care in the world. It's defences were top-notch, though their people were docile. After all, who could possibly attack them? Then it all changed. In the mid-1800s, an alien invasion force came out of the sea and toppled the government, sending people fleeing. Where had this force come from? Space. Thousands of years ago, a Lichten spaceship exploded, leaving few survivors. The ones that remained gave birth to spawn before they died. The spawn lived in the depths of the ocean, slowly regaining knowledge once lost. However, their technology was far different from Lichtes technology of old. This was unique technology only found on this world. Eventually, after regaining enough of their strength, they invaded Japan to begin a new empire. Today, in the 1900s, the nation is ruled by a mysterious sovereign. No one knows her name, but she is ready to emerge on the world stage, with ambitions in mind. Control of islands in the Pacific is her objective, though she favors peace over war. Who knows how it will all play out? Being an amphibious species, the Lichtes specialize in... well amphibious technology. They lack airships, but their steam-propelled submarines are some of the largest in the world.

Since there isn't much history about Japan, may I write history about Japan? Also, it seems that no one want to be China. Perhaps it could be a group of warring states?

Well perhaps you could construct floating continents that didn't move above existing land?

Yay, Archi is back! Now I can play the game like normal. :thumbsup: ------------- Me is Japan. Even though it is steam punk, may I still be alien? :D
