Wisp

Judging by my location (Mountain), with an overview of the major city in my state around 10 miles away, I would probably just see the flash, and then have a minute to deal with what to do. Probably run downstairs to the basement, grab my gas mask, and go into the closet which happens to hold all our dried food, wine, and also about 100-200 gallons of water. With concrete on 3 sides and a metal door. Filling that with food/supplies and putting the door on was kinda my summer project.

I'd say yeah. If we can just go back on choices to avoid random events we don't like, what's the point?

I agree 6 years, though it's your call Dusty.

Well played ICU on last post there, Ninja'd in between lock and my last post. As said before, 3 generals, 4 admirals more, if you aren't about to post on that Dusty.

As mentioned, no reason to keep this open. If Dusty wants this to stay open for some sort of Hegemony Argument esque thread, he can pm me.

The original roleplaying only forum was Falador Library, and, at it's peak, really only 5 or 10 posters. This gradually waned to only maybe 3, and holding a roleplay with 3 people isn't very effective, so it just went down to 0 people posting normally. Then, Falador Tavern came along maybe... 10 months ago? 8 months? And designed to be for more casual roleplays, such as Hegemony. Though, in general now, it seems that it is just all Roleplays.

Anyone need help with anything?

Can this not end in another Dusty vs. Archi fight? I'd like to think the point of the more recent Hegemonies should be more about strategy, rather than who can find the most obscure medieval/colonial superweapon. Speaking of which, what were your ships in YOH using anyway, arch?

How about this: If we want "new" stuff, we put it under 'experimental research. Dusty occasionally will unlock a new technology via that, ie: Steam. Then you can research that directly. Dusty, that sound ok?

3 more Generals, 4 admirals.

How effective is the +Morale bonus I get? I assume it's because of Nationalism or something? Also, I buy 5 generals.

As of today, the first Hegemony started a year ago. Just an interesting thing I noticed :thumbsup:

Could you make a color key, atleast for important nations that are player controlled? Like this:

Who's the slightly grayish blue in west Africa

Didn't Franch have french guiana during this time? And part of western africa?

I'd much prefer Hegemony.

Well you would still get money from capturing territory, so it's kinda a choice you have to make. If you capture a lot of territory, it's hard to increase infrastructure, and only effective way to gain more money is to capture or raid. If you stick with one or a few states, you could just turtle, and keep gaining money. Also, to get more money, you can send troops to raid other territories, getting amounts of money rather than land, though it is a one time money gain vs. steady by keeping it. There would be ships, but only useful for oceans/great lakes and such, so if you control Colorado, then not very useful. If we need a distraction for players similar to the mongols, then other country's can intervene. If you turtled for 10 years (60 turns) you'd only have 12m, whereas if you captured a lot you could have any amount.

I'll take France if it's not already.

Idea: So, we've been traipsing through various eras in our hegemony games, from medieval to far into the future. We seem to start in modern era a lot, but we soon are overwhelmed with technology. Here's my idea. We play modern, but on a smaller scale, with no superweapons (atleast, probably), with smaller armies, and all that fun stuff. For a start, we fight over the United States. Assume that the central government is out, and each state is trying to fight for the betterment of itself. So each state is a territory, so there is plenty of territory to conquer. On the downside, that means that we might end up with people having way more than others, but hey, that's how it works and we can always fix it as it happens. So, basically, you pick a state. [hide=Map] [/hide] You're given a budget, and a list of general prices for troops. Example: Standard Squad (Two Riflemen, one Machine gunner, one DM):50,000 Sniper Team: 100,000 Anti Tank Squad: 200,000 Special Force Squad: 500,000 Light APC: 500,000 (Seats four squads) Heavy APC: 750k (Seats 5, better defense) Light tank: 1,000,000 Medium Tank: 1.5m Main Battle tank: 2m Transport Truck: 50,000 (seats 4 squads, no armor) Humvee: 100k (Seats 2 squads, light armor) Bomber: 50m. So, if the starting budget was 10m, you're not going to see very large battles going on, so it's a lot smaller scale and tactics are more important. Planes and tanks will be very expensive, so you're not going to see people fielding hundreds of tanks for a single battle. We'd go back to IAG, only infrastrure would be calculated differently. It would increase budget by 2% per one point. To start, it would cost 10m to increase by one point, but for each state you get, you have to pay 10m more. So this way, if for example, you have 5 states and a budget of 80m, you could increase you're infrastructure more than someone with 8 states and 80m. Also, gametime would advance 2 months per day, and budget resets every 6. Research would mostly be along the lines of better weapons/armor/vehicles, and anything more than that would have to be explained in detail to me. Anyone be interested? I'll wait for Napoleon Hegemony to be over with, not intruding on Dusty.

I dunno, it's really hard for me to be online for any period of time these days, and be able to commit to running sessions frequently. Plus, I'm on vacation now in real life so it's hard to find time where I have use of my laptop, and time to spare. Hosting a game like Hegemony would be much easier for me, unfortunately.

During. I guess. Or atleast a lot of people in America will be pushing for revolution, especially if it's an NPC.

I mentioned a few times I was gonna use strategy similar to Rocco. No one noticed, haha. EDIT: Any chance I could see the most recent map?

Out til late today/early tomorrow.

Or the band of 30 brave misfit soldiers, who overcome personal troubles to fight incredible odds, and take the mighty keep.

Quite a stunning victory, eh? Lol against drunk Irish peasants and a non-existant Spanish garrison in Sardinia. --- As always, I remain cockily confident. Drunk Irishmen are known for their belligerence. AND against a non existant Corsican army at Corsica.
