I've got control of south america, Icuownage has north america. I hope all you people that are claiming locations in NA/SA realize that you'll be stuck there for the game with no way of participating in any of the stuff that's going on in Europe/Asia/Africa (aka where most of the meat of the game will be). Theres boats.... That cannot cross the atlantic.... [/hide] But... I can build a big one. I'll fight Icu. Big one would just fall apart. Really, Erik only got to the Americas by pure luck, and that was in a boat made in 800+ AD (iirc). Not luck, knowledge. Eirik the Red crossed the Atlantic by taking a small detour by Greenland in order to avoid the "ship eating worms" aka. big waves, and the vikings were the most skilled shipbuilders of their time. And yes, I'm proud of my ancestors. Yes but he had no idea there was actually land that way. So, either he was suicidal in sailing that way, or extremely lucky. Since he survived, I'd say lucky. The point that's being made is that hypthetically, sure, you could get to Europe; it would take a lot of deaths and a lot of boats, but it could be done. BUT. There's no way you could actually participate in whats going on in Europe and Asia. So, no trade routes, no technology sharing, no way to send armies, nothing. It would be waaay too expensive.

How'd you get it off that planet you landed it on? Is this photon cannon shared tech? Also get on IRC please. Please don't just magically gain tech just because we're going to war. No I'm not, I started making ZPMs so that I could remain shielded until the war is over. Oh jeez, thanks :wall:

No.

We could also try one without any tech research at all, just a set date, with set tech from that time, and so battles would depend on army composition, morale, size, and the general's competence rather than who has the biggest and baddest toy on the block.

:wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: The bible does not give you your morals, unless you're homophobic and sexist and all the other crap that's in there. You have your own based on society. If you read the bible, you will find out that not even Jesus followed the guidelines of that book <_< And Moses had his own people killed when they didn't do what he wanted haha.

Because Total War campaign is single player and civ games are too short. This is just a big long continuous civ game that draws us back to the forums essentially.

Actually that's fairly decent, except for the electricity thing, since there'll be a technology cap.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzV87pflcII Lol. And I never bothered joining #NWO since the main purpose of it was to discuss war with me (at least the original purpose was), and I assume it was just a bunch of people [cabbage] talking me haha.

I dont think anyone can bomb berlin as it has to many allied troops in it... This is true. There's also a chance the teleporter exit will be destroyed.

And yes, no super mega alliances. Only reason the EA was formed was because I was about to get attacked by 7 people lawl. To Serepherus: I secretly reveal my tech too! haha. Fine, Project C is complete. [hide][/hide] Good luck finding my ships :D Also, you don't actually have that tech, since that PM was sent 7 days ago, and the lowest research time out of all of those is 8 years. :wink:

I must subdue the Gauls! Oh and North America will essentially be a dead zone, since nobody would be able to travel there (try sailing a bireme across the Atlantic).

Lol, why not just take Greece? Sparta would get overrun so easily.

It won't help you too much you know, you're starting out as a tribe either way. You just get to call yourself Roman. Yes but then I can use this:

Dibs on Rome! Um, you never researched any of those.

Eh well, I'll just ignore the magic then. I've been saving up billions each year. Started research on them a while ago, but now that I remember they're actually plasma cannons. Whatever. They still shoot stuff. Anywho, now that we're drawing to a close it seems, I'll finish up some of the tech I've been researching: Exosuit IV is complete, though I doubt it'll hit high enough production levels to actually have a noticeable effect. Farm II is done, though, not much use for it now. Strength IV is done, and production rushed along as fast as possible (can't go too fast since it's a tricky mixture). New assault vehicle line is done, so here they are: [hide=Large APC (AKA Elephant)][/hide] [hide=Basilisk][/hide] [hide=Hellhound (heavy tank)][/hide] My bomb. Costs around a trillion to make one, so I doubt I'll have more then 2 or 3 when the war breaks out. They're fairly fragile things, and so they can't be dropped from orbit or something like that, or all the different substances would mess up and be neutralized. What it does is raise the elevation of the land by send electrical and other types of signals down into the earth which causes the rock and other materials to expand to the point where it's just a giant mass of densely compacted gas, which pushes the ground upwards. So, if I took it down into an ocean and set it off... [hide=Planet Buster][/hide] Muwaha. Building sites for the E2S Missiles and interceptor missiles (part of the planetary missile shield) so that they can withstand orbital bombardments. The growth formula is being given to all babies in the Federation, in order to have them at a serviceable age in time. Also, fighter-interceptors are being loaded onto cargo ships and sent out to Midgard. Loudspeakers are being installed in all Federation major cities. My men will die with their battle music blaring in the streets of the only free nation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW2ewbCDvn8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXBo2MvtpaQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d47gTUNY86k So yeah, good luck taking Midgard with less than 90% casualties.

.... Type coherently. [hide=Translation]Wow, now that Rocco's said that I'm all in for magic.[/hide] Good idea about the conversion Rocco, hehe. Hadn't thought of that. Federation cargo and transport ships are being turned into carriers. Also, production on nukes has been ramped up, so as to try and equip the fighters with at least 1 each. Very costly. Anyways, corners are being cut and a flood of new workers sent to work on Ragnarok, so it should be done in time. They shoot stuff.

If there's magic I won't play, and neither will a lot of people.

Who is 'them'? Btw, it'll take you guys 4 years to reach Yggdrasil haha. All Federation ships have been recalled to Yggdrasil's system, and all able bodied males from the colonies are being shuttled there. The tunnels under Midgard's cities are complete, and production has ramped up on defense systems. Also, I'm going to use the funds in my colony fund (which now should upwards of 4 trillion) to start mass hiring mercenaries. Weee merc armies. Wait, no. I don't want speed up of time, that just helps you guys tremendously. And I think there should be a year limit for tech. As in, anything developed past X AD cannot be researched or used in-game. So, if we're playing an ancient world game, you can't just research firearms.

Medieval or ancient world? Hm.

With only those ships? It'll probably take a combined force to actually break through to the planet. Anyways, TFed Update: The species that I've been talking about has had a diplo team sent to them. They're realatively small in population, and seem to be organized in tribal-like groups. They have basic intelligence, enough to use low class weapons, like melee ones. However, their skin is incredibly hard, and their organs are very decentralized, meaning it takes a helluva lot of bullets to kill them. Some of the tribe leaders have accepted Federation rule, and are essentially the Federation's dogs of war. Other tribes haven't, and they are in the process of being destroyed. I'll just call them Federation Warrs. [hide=Federation Warrs][/hide] Ion cannon research has been competed, and cannon sites are being set up all across Midgard, Earth, and some of the more populous colonies. An infiltrator team has also mamanged to steal some of Kamino's rapid growth formula (since, well...I don't even remember you spending any time researching it Rpg haha). Active military is at 4% of the population, and those that don't have training are being rushed through. Fleet stands at: 14 Capital Ships 52 Carriers 68 Troop Transports 912 Troop Dropships And enough fighters to fill the Capital ships, carriers, and asteroid defense sites. Yes. That would be [bleep]ing awesome. I think all this space [cabbage] started to get waaay too hard to keep track of, and every time you needed to research a new tech, it seems like you also needed an in depth understanding of physics, biology and chemistry in order to explain it to everyone. Bleh. Btw, yes, NWO will most likely win the war, considering it's essentially me vs 12 people :unsure:

Oh yes, forgot to mention. Despite the large amount of projects TFed has going on, I'm usually ending up with 300b or so unspent each year. So, that is going into my spechul fund.

Supposed to be a joke? No I'm quite serious. We have too many of the damn things. Why not live beavers? Because feeding them costs money.
