This would be somewhat like the anti-tank rifles Germanian soldiers would be using (add flashing LED lights and other useless knickknacks that sci-fi literature thinks we will add to our guns in the future): [hide=][/hide] When you have around a dozen of those shooting at the same spot, I'm pretty sure it'll add up to enough thermite ;)

depends when my railgun research is done(3 years) i could simply use naval bombardment to my advantage then send in my HAW's anyways for now im content(dont need that much more land) finally my space research has been done and I am now 1 year away from sending a space station up :thumbsup: and I would like to claim that island off the coast of china (not taiwan) I think you put a bit too much weight on your HAWs. that and the fact that i could send in a 15 million man trained army in a couple of years (I wont but I could) I think India could call up around 500 million troops and still function properly. Not to mention that they have German military tech... ^From 25 years ago. Which reminds me, we're now upgrading them. They will be anti-tank rifles mounted on jeeps, that fire bullets filled with thermite. So they just melt the legs of walkers. You bastard :lol: You had to wait to point that out until I invested hundreds of billions in tanks. Ah well. I'm not even sure a bullet could light thermite. Usually it needs to be lit with a magnesium fuse or it won't ignite. Oh yes, I'm a devious bastard. And I'm sure there is a way.

Germania has begun using Luxembourg's Ion cannons to force rainfall in the outer regions of the Sahara deserts. They should be able to support crops in 10 years. Germania has also provided to spray to increase crop yield to Indian farmers, to alleviate the food problem for feeding such a densely populated country. The Indian army has grown to around 10 million, with mandatory 18 month service for men aged 18-24. There. That should provide quite the nasty problem for anyone still thinking of invading India.

1 battery = 1 shot. But they're like tank turrets, you don't fire them rapidly. And batteries don't take long, since the energy from my extensive solar fields and nuclear plants makes thousands of MJ of energy each month. So I tend to end up with batteries out the [wagon]. That's one reason I'm upgrading my railguns to fire with more energy at faster rates. FYI, 10 MJs can power a house for a year. That's what many of the batteries are being used for since we aren't at war. Proof. My typical solar panel generates 0.0002 MJ / watt-second, at 400 watts per minute (my solar technology has come a loong way, so don't be butthurt). I have hundreds of thousands of solar panels in my solar fields, probably close to 1,400,000 in all. 500,000 of which get constant sunlight on the moon (they are on the light side). So let's just calculate the solar panels on the moon. 525,948.766 minutes in a year. So 42075.90128 MJ just from that, not to mention another 50 from the others. Then my nuclear plants. I have around 40, each makes about 5 gigawatt hours each hour they run (hey, nuclear power has come a long way). For maintenance purposes, they only run eight hours per day, so that's 1600 gigawatt hours each day. Also for maintenance, they run only 10 months each year, so that means 16,000 per year. Guess what? That means I end up with 90,000 MJ every 10 years including powering most of Sri Lanka. I greatly lowered the outcome because it came out to like 97 trillion and I knew that couldn't be right. Yes but how big are the batteries? and you could feasibly have something like 10 shots unless they are very small The large, 20 MJ ones are the size of 55 gallon drums (trashcans, basically). Small ones for handheld railguns (1 MJ , 5 MJ) can be comparably sized to two soup cans end-to-end or eight soup cans end to end, respectively. mmm soup guns.

Not telling you off, or making you add more money but the cost of researching the shuttle in real life, along with building it was 156 billion or so. But it doesn't matter, whatever you've put into it is fine. Yea, I read somewhere it was a lot more, but that simply sounded ridiculous to me. My explanation would be that since other countries already have shuttles, research would take much, much less time and money, and I'm using approximately the numbers I gave for the building and launch costs. As for India, being inactive should not make them invincible. And by inactive I don't mean being on vacation or something, but simply choosing to not post). I don't know if the rules are already like this, since I think the last invasion of India was only called off because of Germania sending troops. Nothing against you Adrenal, if you ever see this. I was successful in my diplomatic talks with Brunei, they'll be joining me in about a year. Samoa and Tonga are being a bit more resistant, but we're still trying. If I recall correctly, you were inactive for quite a long period, and were still able to keep your country. Which I will. I've given my word to Adrenal, and I hardly ever break that once it's given.

Stop being butthurt that the country you want is already taken by someone.

I'm not giving you any sort of alliance. Maybe if you cede Belarus to Russia I will give you an agreement not to steamroll over you. Hmm... I don't want an alliance, so much as an agreement that you or Russia won't attack me. I'll trade Belarus, BBQ, and 5B for Poland and Kalingrad. No, this is the trade: You give Belarus to Russia. Me and Russia agree not to flatten you. I suppose I don't even need to be there, as Russia alone could just destroy you. *shrug* That's awful mean of you. Either way, all of Sri Lankas projects continue to... continue. We are looking into the acquisition of more islands. Just a punishment for his stupidity.

You can get new ones on the internet as well, though not on youtube. Some people prefer to go the "legal" way, though. A shrinking minority, that is.

Spaceship magnets are coming along nicely, should be done in 2 more years. Germania's SAM missile system coming along nicely as well, 3 more years for that. Oh, and I forgot about that cream I mention back 100 pages ago or so, it's done now and has been distributed to all our pilots, with it being given to active military first, then civilian populations. City in Antarctica is coming along just swell, with another 20,000 colonists that have moved there. Brings the city to a population of 50,000. It's self-sustaining thanks to the edible plant that can grow in tundra environments and provides 90% of the daily vitamins required. The other 10% is taken by imported foodstuffs.

*shrug* Everyone was fine with China being like that. Actually, I don't like the whole "Shadow country" idea at all. Besides, China was reobtained in the end, India can't be reobtained as long as Adrenal refuses to either participate, or give it up. Yeah, seriously, three people already have most of the land, can't you just split up India? It's not my country.

[hide=updated map][/hide] I forgot to include Azerbaijan and Armenia into Russia, as Walka stated he acquired them. *shrug* Everyone was fine with China being like that.

India is not my country. It will still be listed as its own country, I'm just sort of a protectorate/temporary governor of it. Adrenal has stated before that he still wants India, so I'm holding it in trust so that when he comes back to being an active player, he won't be 30 years behind in tech. Let me state this again: India will not be part of Germania. It will still be its own country. I will not use it's funds for Germanian projects, or its population for my military.

From the day we arrive on the forum And, blinking, step into the threads There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done There's far too much to take in here More to find than can ever be found But the text rolling high Through the sapphire skins Keeps great and small on the endless round It's the Circle of Strife And it moves us all Through despair and trolls Through idiots and memes Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the Circle The Circle of Strife It's The Circle of Strife And it moves us all Through despair and trolls Through idiots and memes Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the Circle The Circle of Strife

I see what you did there. I imagined the guy in your avatar saying that.

Lol, the middle east and China are held by the same person (trust me, I know...).

Hm. Quite an old pic I found on fb, looks like I have a crop circle on my arm haha. Damn. Takes a long time to type when you only got one hand.

I think it was Ross (Aether/Iran), Latino(Jerusalem/China), and Rocco(Sri Lanka) planning on splicing up India between them. I think your post scared them off though haha.

Oh wait, was it deathdrow? Haha, what? The second line doesn't make much sense, though of course, it does mean something... I own bangladesh, and we're researching renewable energy sources right now, becuase that's all I could think of. I'm not very good at this game. youll want to research more than just renewable energy, really. id recommend building up your military somewhat, or you are likely to be totally destroyed as soon as another war breaks out you seem to be planning something... :shock: Nah, Walka is just a little bit unstable. It stands to reason though, since he is Russia after all.

Okay, quit [bleep]ing around with the map guys. THIS is the current most up-to-date map [hide=Base all new maps off this one][/hide] Changes: Re-added the countries in Africa that joined Germania (since all you people just ignored that map) Re-fixed the colouring issues with New Guinea for Japan (the one Japan did looked like he just filled the entire island with his colour) Re-added the territory that is part of India, but due to some weird map error wasn't included Changed the text and colour box of Taiwan at the bottom (was a horrendous font, and the wrong colour to boot) Added Japan's flag to the set of islands in the middle of its empire Fixed part of China that was uncoloured due to the map lines Removed South Africa from the list of countries at the bottom since it doesn't exist anymore Removed Egypt " ". Added Bangladesh to the bottom Touched up the bottom country listing so it's more neat Removed the "white-land is claimable, gray land.." text that was over-laying part of Antarctica Recoloured Luxembourg to a slightly darker orange, as Bulgaria and Luxembourg had basically the same colour Fixed some border issues along the Germanian-Brazilian African border (overly-bright pixels) Fixed some border issues inside one of Luxembourg's territories (overly bright pixels) Gods damnit, [bleep] you Firefox, it's spelled COLOUR

Part of India, yes. I've updated the map, including Rocco's new territories (don't be so bloody lazy next time). [hide=updated map][/hide]
