If they are smaller than regular ARC cannons then they're pretty useless against massive spaceships, no? And holy [cabbage], Japan just got its [wagon] kicked. And Arch what do the numbers on the map mean?

Actually, I don't think a full description has ever been given of these things. And 6 ARC cannons? They'd be massive, and one missile would take it out. Germania has started construction on a new line of spaceships now. Bleh.

But that's my point. The Nexcerite was designed to stop boarding, not as an offensive weapon. That would be like saying the ships of mine that were destroyed had their Dirithanium plaster against Ross' ships and disable his energy weapons. It's just silly. Oh and the Helios orbs would've hit his own ships too lol.

Yes but my ships had Dirithanium plating, which makes ARC cannons pretty much useless against them <_< Also, I didn't say just go for the transports, I said those were the priority. Doesn't mean that Ross' battlesips could just float around without being attacked. And the Nerexcite wouldn't really be able to destroy half my carrier fleet, that's just silly. At most some would've gotten plastered on the hulls of some of my ships, causing raditation poisoning after a few years. Bah!

Doesn't really count unless he's actually explained it in the thread though.

Helios orbs are for planetary defense though? Also, what is this "death dealing alloy"? First I've heard of it... Sorry, but it's kinda [cabbage] that 200 something odd ships didn't manage to completely destroy his fleet.

Yea it does get a bit confusing.

Wha? We have to wait a week for the results? :(

KoToR 1 & 2 as well.

You're also forgetting that I was in an alliance with Dusty, despite the fact that I was in the NWO as well. The other alliance was called the Eurasian Alliance. I wouldn't really say you two were allied other than technically. You did nothing but oppose eachother. Well obviously, Sere did nothing other than plan to attack me. And I was only allied with Russia at first, then the NWO formed (well not the NWO in name, but all the original members allied to attack me), so I convinced Bulgaria and Australia to join.

Hehe, I only got so big in order to stop Doom from doing whatever she wanted!

I can give you one side of events...

Yes well, I think everyone has been threatened by the NWO at some point, even NWO members.

You were never banned, you were threatened. You could've done whatever you wanted to. .... .... .... .... I SECRETLY REVEAL 200 MILLION TROOPS IN AETHER. I think it's a bit stupid to assume that the most heavily defended coastline in the world wouldn't have underwater sonar, or mines, or any sort of defenses. You seriously think that x million drones could just walk around without being detected? Nevermind the fact that a bunch of electronic equipment is walking UNDERWATER. 1. It's not really that hard to see that you'd let your NWO allies march armies through your land, use your resources, supply them, and make clones for them. So, the logical course it to destroy or cripple that capability, and that means attacking you. It's nothing against you personally, it just wouldn't make sense strategically to leave you unharmed. 2. So, it's essentially like 1984 or something? That's pretty risky. And I doubt many people would rebel once that little secret got out. 3. I don't remember you saying this at all. 4. Everything can be a weapon, yes. But you're not going to take down a national military with civilians armed with sticks and stones.

Alright well, if you want to get technical Ross... How did all these drones manage to sneak by the wall, through France, and manage to attack Paris? If you're going to argue about their destruction then let's argue about the plausability of them actually being there in the first place. Please note that every time I see what and how they were shot down, I improve them. And the same for me. I think that's the definition of an arms race. Holy crap! what? First of all, my civilians are "programmed" to not rebel. Against me anyway. If they were rebelling against someone else, I assure you more than 6 million got violent. Everybody would get friggin' violent. EVERYONE. About a decade ago I put out mandatory military training for all able bodied citzens (which is nearly everyone due to age defying genetics). Yes there is a lack of weapons, but my iron fisted police force (enforced with a fair share of LAARTs) would be more than happy to supply. And for Christ's sake who even invaded me? Doom? Really? What did I do to you? You can't just storm through my country and expect no retaliation. Lack of army or not, this is not the last you'll hear of this. Can someone explain to me exactly what I was just hit with? You're part of the NWO. The NWO is at war with Brazil. I don't really understand how you're shocked that you would be attacked. Also, how do you "program" people? Furthermore, if I recall correctly it was Britannia, Jerusalem, and Malaysia that had a civilian military training program (as well as myself, but I've had that for half a century at least), not Kamino. Also, hehe. I don't think your police force would have the weapons to supply 6 million+ people. And it's not like the Brazilian troops in the area are just going to let a bunch of giant "Rifle Giveaway Stations" to operate freely. Also, Arch. I don't think we should have a AM and PM turn cycle, it just makes it too hectic since everyone's hampered by time constraints (a lot of us live in different time zones, so we might actually be sleeping through most of a turn). 1 per day seems good.

Because they're fragile things that can't just be dropped from orbit and have someone say "So long Planet!", it has to be placed carefully, calibrated, then detonated. Nevermind transporting the things, since they need special containers and all that jazz.

I told them to fight to the death :(

I assume most of it will return to Germania, considering France was part of the Federation for around 60-70 years. Hm. Germania update: Working on Sweedenizing the Sweeden military, to reduce the impact that a foreign nation holding land would hold. I think I have it pretty well here, considering Germania's religion (norse-paganism) will be accepted pretty readily (considering it was a religion that originated in Scandinavia). Preference is given to guard duties to norse-pagans, since there would have been residual religious effect of Sweeden being surrounded by pagan states (former TFed & Norway). Not really sure why the 600k troops would surrender without a fight. If they had no food they'd just suicide charge, as they were Terran's after all :grin: I have a feeling the next round is going to be pretty interesting.

Yay, Sveeeden!

Or if your name is Doom you can bomb your own civilians.... True enough. All war is based on deception.

Depends on how suicidal the people are and if a sadistic bastard like me got some stealth hypersonic bombers... You can't really stealth something that's going that fast. And besides, bombing civilians is probably one of the stupidest strategic decisions ever, since all it does is get your enemies citizens more pissed off at you, and more willing to serve in the army to fight against you. Also, my anti-air defenses can shoot down hypersonic planes, I forgot. They were built to shoot down Jerusalem's FX994652 (or whatever they were...Talons!), so they'll do the trick fine enough with Malaysia's flying tin cans.

It's not like people are out having parades during an air attack y'know.

You just spray like mad, I guess.

Flak works as well. Quite a cheap defense system against such expensive equipment too. I suppose Germania will dig up it's old flak cannons. ? I already control Luxembourg. You mean Kamino? Oh, and the surrounded Terran troops have this blasting on the loudspeakers when the defense starts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8XIW_jUa-k
