I have it on the PC.

Can Pirate answer my question - are there military forces in Holland currently?

Bunch of [cabbage]ty updates, little kids whining, price fluctuations. There.

My job is so [bleep]ing unbelievable. I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with: First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe. The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat. But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the [bleep]ing stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big [bleep]ing dog to work. Every [bleep]ing day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single [bleep]ing day. Anyway, I drive these [bleep]tards around in my van and we solve mysteries and [cabbage].

Yesyes, I'll send them back soon.

What do you mean? Which rule? The rule that countries can disappear when the leader becomes inactive. He conquered much of europe while the leaders of those countries were inactive. If those countries "disappear" due to the Hegemony's rule, then he doesn't have all that new land right? There were no leaders of those countries, they were all unclaimed. German news: 1,000,000 more foreign volunteers have joined the German army, now that they realize that The Fourth Reich is not a genocidal empire like the third, and most citizens of recently conquered territory are happy with the medical advances and safety that being part of T4R brings. Diplomats have been sent to Mauritania, Niger and the Western Sahara to speak about possible includement within T4R. They would benefit greatly from a move. German troops have moved into Holland, since their leader has been banned. Germany is going through a massive population boom right now, what with soldiers coming home from the war and makin' some lovin'. Current countries who have sent scientists to Haven: Jerusalem Somalia Britannia Germany Any research that is concluded there will currently only be available to those countries. Speak up if you're sending scientists. And no military of any kind, remember. I demand your troops leave holland now as flodder has given me partial control of Holland. He gave me control of the militairy already so i think it would be fair. And i would appreciate if you leave the rest of Africa alone Fine, I'll withdraw my troops from Holland, but I'm not going to leave North Africa alone. edit: Wait, what? There are military forces in Holland?

Welcome! :D I wouldn't recommend any European country to be honest. You'll just get oened by the Fourth Riech (Germany/Russia). ;)

Idk about that Doom, Europe is pretty damn wealthy.

The hawk? Of course it does. It was just one of the first ones I saw in the banner pack I have from Mount n Blade, though. I know there are others, including the one from Kingdom of Heaven. Buried away in there somewhere... Well, that's the research that is being worked on in Haven. Up to you whether or not you want to send your scientists there to speed along the research. Breakthroughs made on Haven won't be available to nations that didn't commit anything to their research, though. This is news to me.

I prefer the Christian version of the flag, so no thank you. Let's keep the game realistic please. I would like to make the deserts into arable land, but it's not possible and there's no bonus to having old people. Anything with a cross in it is, by rule of thumb, Christian... Realisitc? Hehe. We have exosuits, brain implants, plasma bombs, stealth cargo planes, space colonies, shoulder-mounted mortars, railguns, zombies, and ships from Star Wars. You want to draw the line at turning deserts into arable land, though? :| Alright then, so, it's going to cost Latino around 300% of his total GDP to repair China, and then decades to repopulate it, though.

Wait did somebody just take the Faroe Islands? Or is this a different base? Doesn't Norway have control of the Faroe Isles?

^ Updated from Sere's map to include the Azores as neutral, with its new name: Haven [hide=][/hide] Oh and Latino, here's another flag for Jerusalem if you want to use it: Germany proposes a joint research venture into drugs that could extend human lifespan, and using explosives with high concentrations of nitrate to turn deserts into arable land.

Pale Golden Yellow please. All right. Ross, is it OK if I just label the country on the map as "Aether" and just put "Kingdom of Aether" on the map key? You can change your country name at any time by the way. It isn't much editing. And I'm pretty safe saying that the Brazilian Empire gets Quebec, T4R gets the arctic isles, the Russian Empire gets Alaska, and the Britannian Empire gets Canada? I don't really get why the t4r get's the arctic islands. Quebec doesn't want to be part of canada anyway, so that makes sense. T4r's logic behind why he has a claim to them is because he has greenland. That's like saying I have a claim to my neighbours hous because i live next to them. I think either brittania gets all of british canada, or t4r does, not split it. And alaska either is destroyed or joins with whoever has cananda. Whatever. I'll just start sending people onto the islands, and in a few years they'll be mine anyways. I figured this was a way for everyone to be happy, since the arctic isles are mostly useless and unpopulated anyways. But fine, I'll just send some more troops in *sigh*

Huh? When did you get a ship that could travel to Mars?

Alright, so here's the treaty on Azores: 1. The Azores islands will be completely neutral ground, not owned or claimable by any nation that signs. 2. The research that takes place cannot be military oriented. 3. The islands will be completely demilitarized, with no military vessels/aircraft/personnel allowed on or within 10 miles of the islands. 4. The Islands will have its own security force, made up of native residents of the islands 5. No stealing research/projects or withholding research that is being done or has been completed on the islands. If these are broken, then every country gains Casus Belli on the country that broke this. Research will progress at a much more rapid pace, due to the collaboration of many different nations and perhaps super-powers. How each nations decides how to apply the research is up to them (give to only the rich, sell at extortionist prices, give to everyone, etc), but cost should be calculated; eg. you can't realisticly give a drug that costs 10 million a dose to everyone in your country, or you would go bankrupt. Should be good for now.

If we ban these strategic weapons (ICBMs, EMPs, etc), there will have to be some kind of international peace treaty with the most powerful nations. If the smaller nations go to war, sure, they can use conventional warfare and stand more of a chance. However, if a large, wealthy nation was to go to war against a smaller nation, that nation would either 1) surrender, 2) destroy itself, or 3) get taken over. Right now, strategic weapons sort of serve as something similar to MAD. With EMP devices becoming more common, as well as ICBMs, nations would be deterred from using them against each other because they know that there'll be a retaliation. I see what you're saying, actually. Okay, its fine the way it is. I have proceeded to move troops into both Afghanistan and Pakistan, they will soon be claimed by Iran, at which point I am going to change my countries name into something more awsome. Middle Eastern Republic?

*shrugs* I agree to the map as it is, don't really care if Russia gets Alaska or not, that's up to Walka. However, the lands and islands east of Quebec are all the most heavily British parts of Canada (Newfoundland in particular didn't join Canada until the middle of WW2), so it makes more sense that it would go to Britannia. Pakistan and Afghanistan? Sounds fine to me. German news: A massive scientific research base is being built in the Azores isles, which would be capable of any number of scientific purposes. Germany proposes a scientific treaty to all nations, where the Azores will be considered neutral ground, and foreign scientists can work together regardless of politcal tensions or wars going on on projects that would further human development and prosperity. Germany offers its research into the vision improving cream it is working on to anyone willing to sign this treaty/agreement. *The Azores will be a demilitarized area, with only a small garrison made up of the local population. No military vessels of any kind will be permitted to dock, land, or base on or around the isles.

Faraday Cages. Besides, if that wasn't the case, then everyone would be using EMPs to take out everything opposing them. Exosuits? EMPs. Walkers? EMPs. Stealth bombers? EMPs. And even if the chips were somehow knocked out, it wouldn't effect me a great deal, since only around 5-10% of my military has them atm. And I already have a larger population then Russia, but I'm not making the same mistake as every bloody European conqueror has made, which is attacking Russia. I have no desire for Russian land anyways.

Yea, I think there was some weird loophole in the assault weapon ban in the states that allowed you own an automatic rifle as long as you had purchased it before the ban. There's also a handful of miniguns that get passed from collector to collector in the states as well, and they're legal since they were owned before some point in time.

Hm. I don't really have any problem with it, since I don't really need the Arctic isles, but you may find some opposition from Sere with that plan.

Portugal joining T4R would be extremely unrealistic, considering that you share the same language, some of the same culture, and were once a Portuguese colony. Though there would be some resentment from that, the Portugese would be more willing to join a country that they have legitimate ties to rather then mine. The same applies to Canada. Canada would only join countries that it has ties with. Since it was a former colony of mine, it would most likely on join me, some other Anglo nation, or remain independent. They also wouldn't join Germany since they don't share the same language, plus the fact that they were enemies of Germany during WWII and wouldn't be interested in taking part in any kind of Reich. The only Canadian territory that could realistically go to the Germans would be the generally unpopulated northern islands, minus Prince Edward's Island (I'm not sure if it's in that area or not). However, Quebec joining the Brazilian Empire is a possibility as they have a desire to separate themselves from Canada anyway, as well as the fact that they share a similar language and possibly a more similar culture. I'm not trying to strong-arm you because you want to annex Canada, but I'm stating what would be more realistic in this case. Nono I understand, its just that with Germany's acquisition of Greenland it now has legitimate claims to the Canadian Arctic. How about this, a deal to satisfy every country? The Arctic isles goes to The Fourth Reich The English speaking portion of Canada goes to Britannia Quebec goes to the Brazilian Empire And Alaska returns to Russia Does that work for everyone? [hide=like so][/hide]

Portugal joining T4R would be extremely unrealistic, considering that you share the same language, some of the same culture, and were once a Portugese colony. Though there would be some resentment from that, the Portugese would be more willing to join a country that they have legitimate ties to rather then mine. news: German scientists have begun research on adapting the bone-replacing agent for medical uses - specifically the treatment of bone diseases and bone degeneration. This new drug will be called BMDE1 when it is finished (Bone mineral density enhancer 1).

Why You aren't playing in the spirit of the game. A lot of the things you post make very little sense. You invent a new technology every year, sometimes more than one a year, that you would not be able to do in real life. So either be more realistic or stop. and he wtfpwns every single country he meets, instantly occupying it without any revolutions. Considering 1 day = 1 year, I don't think the rapid conquest is all that unrealistic. The Nazis took 3 years to conquer most of Europe, and a good portion of Russia, and they didn't have any of the tech that's being used in these games. Not to mention that the countries I've taken were not in play, so they had none of this tech and had a military strength of whatever it is presently. How is that any more unrealistic then countries in SA joining the Brazilian Empire because of fear of me (a country half the world away). They would be more afraid of the Brazilian Empire. Also: But I see that I'm not going to convince you, so whatever. I would still like to hear what tech I've developed in a year, though.
