It won't be starting for a while yet...There will always be people interested for as long as there are people in the tavern. However Napoleonic Hegemony is still running, and so splitting attention is gonna fold one or the other...or make them both rather weakly played. Added to that I am still running simulations, trying to actually fix the pricing of stuff and making it complicated enough to be challanging, without being so complicated that people can't be bothered.

Errrr... Maybe. 'Re'reading it now. :thumbup: Ok, so your sexual dimorphaism has changed from ultra stupid males to psionically weak males and ultra smart females to psionically strong females.... I like it, it is more likely that women would develop a way to control men, rather than men evolve a way to be controlled.

Maybe an inherant power, one that is not really controlled/able. Would probably give you the strength to resist Psionics to a higher degree, but would mean, day to day, you had much less power to spend psionically.

Oh right...Well, typically anything that will vapourise one species will vapourise another. Exoskeletons may protect you more, but may crack or break or develop holes easier than an internal skeleton. Shields are shields, unless something is researched to find a way through, or it is explained how you would bypass them (Faraday cage bullets for instance). Armour is armour, material defines how bypassable it is.

I am with Dusty on this one. Anyway...Mather, its like they say 'A Watched Pot Never Boils.' Play Station 13, its great fun unscrewing pannels and trying to outsmart the AI(Which is played by a person!)...Now if only I had the cunning to plant a bomb in the AI core...

Psionics exists as a third 'hand'. The 'hand' can change shape and such. Think of it like a peice of material....It has certain attributes, if you exceed those limits then it will break. Say you were using it as a protective shield and were hit by a Turbo Laser, unless you were an exceedingly powerful Psionic, and had been taking high doses of psionic boosters(and had had a good meal), it would absorb some of the energy, then break, letting you, or whoever you are protecting, get hit with the weakened beam. If you can create machines capable of thinking, and give them a powersource to draw on, then yeah. Psionics is the alternation of physical reality by using the power of the mind to take control of a small part of the universe and shape it. Bewhere the Inverse Square Law though, and Volume. Non-Science: The further you project and the larger the area, the more energy you use...and that adds up VERY quick. Simple example: For people planning to try to prove that you have enough power, everyone else can ignore this as it will be done fairly arbitraily: [hide] I=E*d(Intensity(Energy you need to put in every second)=Energy(which is Volume*modifer of what you are trying to do) times by distance) Controlling a 5 Centimeter Sphere has a volume of 523 centimeters^2 Controlling a 20 Centimeter Sphere has a volume of 33,510 centimeters^2 So, with a modifer of 1(Scanning) a sphere of 4 Centimeter diameter and distance of 5 centimeters: 2,615=523*5 But at a distance of 20 centimeters 10,460=523*20 So 20 Centimeter Sphere at 20 Centimeters away: 670,200=33,510*20 If your race is not psionically inclined then you have average 2,000,000 energy per day, as long as you have three balanced meals. [/hide] Bullets, Fire, Laser Beams... There are also two resources you can use to dampen psionic ability. You can research ways to supress psionic ability in certain areas. But, as they say, fight fire with fire. I imagine: Lasers/Energy Weapons/Magic/Psionics Projectile Weapons Melee Weapons Explosives Personally I would split it down into 3 catagories: Ranged(Guns, Bows and Cannons) Close-Quarters(Swords, Batons, Fists) Remote(Remote mines, tripwires, traps) Then carry on spliting them down...

One would imagine it was some kind of a plan, delievered in a roleplaying kind of a way, with an aire of secrecy about it...perhaps more subtle than 'Don't tell anyone about this'... Traditionally, if I deliever a plan in any kind of an espionage-y way, I put a meta-comment at the end.

His Royal Highness (People have no sense for roleplaying -.- ) agrees and is most grateful, hoping to learn much from the fine sailors of Greatest Britian.

Nay, say it is not so, I myself recently had such war with those who seek to bring disarray to the world. Indeed their wickedness is a plight on our fair lands that must be scourged lest it does spread as did the fire from thornbushes to fields of grain as was foretold us in the Holy Book. Thus I cannot, as Protector of the Holy Roman Empire, stand by while a fellow King would be ravaged by those servents of chaos, I feel so moved me that I am compelled to commission the HMS Hannover, the first of the three deck ships. Though I fear, though we Prussians may march in our ranks with the Iron Will, I quaff at the notion that ships may ever be made of Iron. Only those of the Unshakable Island Nation, those whom none may dare oppose in open sea, are fit to hold the great honour of the first three deck ship - Indeed, though I have the greatest faith in my carpenters, they themselves inform me that it is the British who stand above them when it comes to the art of ship building. So I yield the sum of 1,350,000 Ducats to your finest shipbuilder, and call upon your most experianced crews to be stationed on the HMS Hannover, so that your Kingdom, and your friends, on the continent shall never need fear from the sea, what they no longer fear from the land. His Royal Majesty and Protector, King Frederick II

Prussia is overjoyed that Britian shall be attending a suggests that St. Petersburg is a very long way to travel for many members of the Kingdom of Great Britian, and indeed many Europeans... Thus perhaps Britian could contribute some of its ships, surely the finest ships the Oceans know now, and ever shall know, to ferry those individuals from further afield to St. Petersburg. That way the first and last memories of the World Fair will be those of the Glorious British Navy.

Yeah, having someone else control you is tremendously annoying, especially when they pull the 'Well I can crush you if I wanted' responce whenever they feel like it.

:thumbup: Almost getting totally trounced in a war, and then negotiating yourself into a position of power...Taking risks which could totally wipe you out...Playing a game as a character, rather than as a player... Budget reports and such are stuff handled by the moderator... But writing the plans is the BEST bit! I happily spend three or four hours composing a mighty plan! Its the most fun you can have in a small room, on your own, I find anyway....

<_< Plenty of fun, adrenaline filled, stuff in the tavern....

The power of the internet. Yesterday Cyber trash, 5 hours ago, highly entertaining, tommrow, a lesson plan for teenage American history students

Hehe, mum found it on facebook, got her to email it to me.

Big Picture, Facebook/Hegemony/WW2 humour. I have edited out all the rudeness I could find, but there may be more, look at your own peril. [hide] [/hide]

Prussia stakes out a very large plot(This is also for all the HRE countries too), which will become the new Prussian Embassy after the fair has finished.

Good to see everything worked out in the end. [Not said in game] Prussia plans to use the cannons for the next 10-20 years, and will then return them(unless destroyed, captured or otherwised) to Revolutionary France if Imperial France is beaten or on its last legs, or Imperial France if Visa-Versa. If Revolutionary France has revolutionised France(or Imperial France has crushed the revolutionaries) then Prussia will return them for the collective cost of 2 million, before that time. [/Not said in game] Prussia is also willing to sell the 10 cannons for 3.5 million(1.5 million cheaper than if you made them yourself) to anyone. They are sold at 400,000 individually. Prussia is also willing to sell other cannons at 450,000 to anyone that needs them(50,000 cheaper...Thats your first deployment absolutely free!) Edit...French cannons have been sold.

Ok General Virieu is given a proper funeral service in the center of Versailles. While things are rushed now it is assumed the Prussian Generals involved in the assualt will not be directly need in Prussia and so can spend an extra three hours commemorating the Greatest man on the battle field...A man who could have fled, but stood and defended his city. Prussia vows not to return to France for at least five years. If the revolutionaries manage to take power now then they rightly deserve it.

It sounds easier than it is =P If you succeed though I am happy to include it.

Is there any chance of negotiating a peace treaty BEFORE the battle report comes out? Doom? Also, since budget reset, do France's two armies reset to full strength? I don't mind as long as both armies are reset or stay the same...

Nah, just when she constantly refered to herself as a gender neutral, then we found out it was a he, so my brain, being ever so useful, decided she was a she, after stubbornly refusing to accept that for ages. Anyway, as of present, the only spoilerless sections are write ups of races, if you wanted to do that then that would be nice.

They were scared that if they set off at a fast speed they would be blown skyward, as a guess.

Hmmm, I am starting to think that Nex deserves a reward for pointing out the mistakes =P Although, if he finds an awesome planet then karma has given him a reward and I am off scot free =) Anyway, done, any more mistakes. I will read through Retech's race now and give him a check list(I think I might just give up and refer to you as her from now on, your mysteriousness paid off it seems =P) Inbetween my midnight worries about Hegemony, and my days filled with simulations and rethinks for this, I have worked a little on the guide...So Screenies!
