The Dark Lord

This is where the zero military rule FAILS hard. Just saying.

It would put me in a complex political bind. Say that an ally of mine declared war on you. What do I do? If I made an alliance with you, I would have to accept you into the League, which is something that I would like to keep little. We would reach a compromise. I would not want anything other than peace with Kirby and Retech. Which is basically what happens right now. I have already guaranteed that the League will not declare war on you or your allies without proper cause. This doesn't guarantee that an individual member won't declare war on you, but I'm pretty sure that Kirby and Retech are like-minded.

Sorry, I like you, but it would create another NWO. I prefer my four-nation alliance. However, I will guarantee that no nation with membership in the League will declare war on you or your allies without proper cause.

It's actually Anglo-Saxons and related peoples. This includes both the French and the Germans and the Norse, not the Iranians. To answer Posiden: The Saxons came from Saxony (northern Germany). The Angles came from the Jutland peninsula (Denmark). I have no qualms with you joining the alliance since it pretty much falls under the Anglo-Saxon thing, but I would like to state that I prefer to keep this alliance as small as I possibly can. Since you're a new player, it shouldn't upset the balance of the game. Anyway, I will work on a short constitution for the Little League of Nations.

You may want to pick something other than Europe since the majority of the countries are being annexed by someone, and the few that aren't would prevent any expansion whatsoever. Britannia begins annexing Norway and Iceland.

Working on rebuilding the Britannian military continues. Colonial Militia recruitment offices are still being made available in every major city.

Persia. Then conquer Iraq.

The C.M. has been formed. Chapters are being made available in every region. William Herz, a German immigrant and the man in charge of the C.M. has chosen this march, although it is a Prussian march: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh9vxF9jwKU Common comrades on the horse,on the horse To the Battlefield, to Freedom we go. In Battle there is a man still worth something, there your heart will be weighed. There no other man will stand up for you, you will depend all on yourself. There no other man will stand up for you, you will depend all on yourself. Freedom has passed out of this world, you only see masters and servants. Falshood prevails within the cowardly human kind. Who can look death straight in the eye, the soldier alone is a free man. Who can look death straight in the eye, the soldier alone is a free man. He throws away all of lifes fears, has nothing to fear nor to worry. He rides straight to his destiny, if it doesn't hit today it hits tomorrow. And if it hits tomorrow, so let us drink today the sweetness of time. And if it hits tomorrow, so let us drink today the sweetness of time. The world lies on the swords edge, lucky who leads the sword. And if you stand bravely together, you force the luck and you govern. No crown is too strong and too high, the brave jumper will catch it. No crown is too strong and too high, the brave jumper will catch it. So freshly saddle your horses, the breast opened during battle. The youth showers, the life foams, lets go befor the spirit leaves. And if you never risk your life, never will you win your life. And if you never risk your life, never will you win your life.

Yeeep. Um-hmmm.

The peaceful annexation of Ireland begins. The Irish Reconstruction Act is being passed through Parliament. The Reconstruction Act will guarantee religious toleration toward Catholics, seek to increase the wealth of the Irish nation, and establish Ireland as a thriving cultural centre. Likewise, a plebiscite will determine whether or not the Irish people want to have their own parliament or have representation in the Commonwealth Parliament at Westminster. Lastly, Ireland will finally be reunified, and the region of North Ireland will be abolished. Recruitment for the Order is currently taking place in Edinburgh and London.

A man with an navy blue suit steps up to the podium, briefly shakes hands with the Secretary, and allows the man to sit down in a comfortable leather chair behind him. Mr Milton begins to speak. Welcome, my brothers. We are pleased that we had a bigger turnout than expected. Going straight to the point, the Little League of Nations is an alliance between the Anglo-Saxons and related peoples. We are committed to the mutual safety of our partners and will promote economic relations between our countries. This will guarantee the prosperity of not just the Commonwealth, but the United States (and others)....

You told me that you didn't need more information, and I didn't find out about the ZERO military rule until literally a couple hours before I went to bed last night, so... We can discuss it over MSN if necessary.

Ready for the invasion post whenever you are, Arch. You said you didn't need any more information other than what I sent you. The Order of the White Dragon has been formed. More details are to come later.

Russia.

I honestly don't consider V2 (or even the latter part of V1 for that matter) to be the original Hegemony. As far as I'm concerned, the original Hegemony was the period when it was first created in Off-Topic (and thus had like over 20 players) up to the point where I joined. The rules were pretty straightforward and lax, and it worked for us because people were.... well not morons. It went downhill when we experienced growth, although it would have died if it weren't for that growth, ironically. Anyway, I see your point. I'm just afraid that re-armament would take over a week, which would cause people to possibly lose interest in the game. The creation of alliances and the waging of warfare are the only fun things about Hegemony. Waiting around and doing nothing while a random person says "starting X project to do X for X days" isn't. EDIT: I will probably be up for another round of Dungeoneering on Runescape tomorrow, if you are.

That sounds a little pointless, in my opinion. I can see how it provides some benefit, but it doesn't keep people from just re-arming. Personally, I would have just kept the armies like they were (although perhaps the US army would have been scaled back a little bit so it isn't too intimidating to wage war). It's a lot better and makes more sense to have the military and require people to forcefully annex places than the peaceful annexation that is going on right now. If everyone started off the same (which is basically true with the current restrictions), the game will start off too slowly, possibly leading to a lack of interest. I personally am fine with the rules regarding annexation since it helps keep things from going too quickly, but it's seriously a low blow to have the armies cut to nothing right off the bat. Honestly, you have the potential to recreate the fun environment of the original Hegemony (before half of the people that play this game even started the original). The rules that we experienced in Empire (and again in several other experiments) will only serve to damage interest in this game. Of course, the rules aren't as restrictive, but they're close. Oh, and I'm halfway through my research paper. :thumbup:

Ha. You got beat up by a nerd. Holy hell, Dungeonal. You've been playing this for hours on end, haven't you? Also, does this skill have fast experience?

Who are the Sames? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OLQwtmpWE4 ^Somehow relevant.

Completely irrelevant, but aren't historians debating whether or not the Germanic peoples originated from Scandinavia or Germania?
