Hegemony-V2 begins page 302

Weaponized lasers.

 

 

Weaponized lasers sort of, but no countries in the game were actually researching them then. And since you said you were essentially starting at 2025, you wouldn't necessarily.

 

[/hide]

 

 

 

Oh hey, I have lasers.

 

 

 

Doom, you seem to have missed every request I have made so far, so I'll ask again.

 

Would you like to research space battleships together, since my lasers are very viable to use as space weaponry?

 

 

 

My army is now way up there in the high millions, thanks to not requiring humans in my forces.

 

 

 

I would once again like to ask everyone to help with the FTL travel before you start colonising planets that are 20+ lightyears away.

 

 

 

A new model of Icarus drone has been created for stealth missions. It can't be seen on a radar and can manipulate a screen that covers it to blend into its background.

 

I'm naming them Reaper drones.

[RpgGamer]

Getting closer and closer to perfection...

 

I'd like to send up a water purifier deal with me to Mars if possible. Here's my land:

 

 

 

[Grim_]

Doom i remember a little while back i remember you saying that you would sell a space ship for 300 billion dollars which could be payed over a course of years(or up front) so i was just wondering if that deal still stands?

[Seraphi]

Also Norway would like to help with the FTL project, even though it is impossible.

 

 

 

Nothing is impossible! You just have to put your mind to it! :^o

 

 

 

Alright I have a bit of an odd request. I'm curious as to what everyones Myers-Briggs personality type is, as I think you can correlate your type to how you run your country in this game. So, if you have the time, could you guys take the test here and post what type you got?

 

 

 

Cheers.

Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)

 

All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.

 

 

 

Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.

 

In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.

 

 

 

Masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other Rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research. Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality.

 

 

 

Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Ulysses S. Grant, Frideriche Nietsche, Niels Bohr, Peter the Great, Stephen Hawking, John Maynard Keynes, Lise Meitner, Ayn Rand and Sir Isaac Newton are examples of Rational Masterminds.[/hide]

 

 

 

Hm.

 

I note Stephen Hawking and Isaac Newton in that list. Thats pretty awesome.

[Hedgehog]

Germania, you should have to pay for my land that you destroyed. You killed many of my people and I should be reimbursed. And countries don't just flock to yours because "they would be safer" when they have next to zero chances of being attacked anyway. The last thing they want is to be forced into another one of your wars. They know that they are not safe in your hands, so don't say that they are. It doesn't work like that. You always tell people to be realistic, yet you are being the least realistic of anyone.

 

 

 

I'll give you until Monday to at least say that I will get the money, if you don't, I will declare war. If I don't defeat you, I will at least kill many many many Germanians. Just think of hundreds of millions of innocent people dying because of you.

 

 

 

Remember, I peacefully bought Tunisia as a gift to my people, then you brutally invaded it and killed a large amount of people, every single one was a Findenlander. As a condolence you offered me a few islands off the coast of Africa. I payed 50 billion dollars for Tunisia. I had the country for 1 day before you invaded it. How would you feel if you had just signed a peaceful deal, bringing a bunch of money into your country, then someone comes and attacks you, killing many of your people? You really were a jerk.

 

 

 

So it comes down to either giving me Tunisia back, or giving me at least 50 billion dollars, or I will declare war. Do you know what happened to Russia last time?

 

 

 

Speaking of Russia, I was just trying to buy back the land you took 100 years ago. Thank you for finally answering, I have been trying to get an answer for 30 years.

 

 

 

And just so you know, if need be, every single Findenlander is willing and able to fight (except some of the mentally [developmentally delayed]ed ones), so don't expect us to go down with out a fight.

I don't remember it being asploded.

Malaysia update~ We have begun the invasion of thailand (it should take 4 years) and are keeping up our space program(should be done in 9 years) at any rate I would like to buy a spaceship from doom and pay for it over 3 years and @ ross If i paid a billion dollars each could i buy 10 A-2 exosuits without the tampering guards?

I took Tunisia through diplomatic measures, so your whole argument is invalid. I will give you 10 billion, but nothing more.

[hide=mars with Germania's new colony][/hide]

 

They wouldn't have sided with you after they were part of my country. So I take my territory back. Officially.

[Wisp]

I'm enfp.

 

And ross, for now I want to design my own battleships, so I'd rather not do a joint project just now.

[Guest]

I've begin to build a new warship. Prototype should be done in 2 years. It should be ready in about 5 years, if all goes well.

[Nero]

I've begin to build a new warship. Prototype should be done in 2 years. It should be ready in about 5 years, if all goes well.

 

 

 

Research first. And where exactly would you be building this warship (space warship?)?

 

 

 

Germanian news:

 

More volunteers are flocking to the military, in anticipation of another war in Europe. Good advantage of a pagan religion that heavily emphasizes warfare :). Around a million more have joined the military, and are being rushed through training. This brings Germanian military strength to around 25 million active, plus at least 10 million in reserves.

[Wisp]

I think that would literally be the limit for an army, due to logistics, with an empire your size. Though of course if you were ever attacked you could always conscript like crazy and logistics matter less if it's their land and lives they're fighting for.

[Nero]

Oh of course. Really that much is overkill, but I like to have a nice buffer to dissuade against invasion. A lot of the recruits are coming from Germania's African territories, where there isn't very many job opportunities (working on that one), so the military is a very good option for full-time employment that grants you great benefits (full health and dental care, housing, food, etc).

 

 

 

Oh and to Findenland: In case you missed my edit to one of my posts above: I'm willing to give you $10b, but no more. Considering you paid $50b as you claim for Tunisia, I think it's fair compensation considering you also get the aforementioned islands off the coast of Africa as well.

 

 

 

Other Germanian news: Project Framework has been started, and aims to increase production capabilities all across Germanian lands, which should raise the overall GDP per capita by around $1000. Project Snow has also been started, with the aim to colonize the arctic isles and inner Greenland, which is possible now due to the drug that was developed on Haven.

 

 

 

The research into a spray that would boost crop output by 300% is almost complete as well, and should be done in a years time. Germania has also started a project (not on Haven) with the aim of creating a new plant by taking different types of animal and plant DNA that could grow in tundra environments and be edible by humans. Hopefully the seeds will be ready for mass production sometime in the next 5 years.

 

 

 

The new heavy artillery-tanks are coming along production nicely, and the first couple have been deployed in Inner Germania. They'll now be called Scorpions. (Oh haha I just remembered those are the Halo tanks as well #-o )

[Wisp]

Just for the record, my military is roughly 13 million total. We also have 12,000 elite spec ops. Since spec ops soldiers themselves can only serve for a few years before their bodies catch up to them, the majority of those 12,000 are held in cryogenic sleep (they can opt out of that, but most want to serve their country and nothing else) until they are needed, so they don't age. They are awakened periodically though.

[The Dark Lord]

Britannian news:

 

 

 

Over 400,000 HAV units have been created since I initiated the mass-production one year ago. We are creating a training programme for all military personnel that will teach our soldiers how to operate the machines.

[Nero]

We are diverting some of our funding to space travel - as it is 2025, we plan to send a manned mission to the moon next year. We're only 50 years behind :-P

 

 

 

Might want to change you Location. ;)

 

 

 

Going to re-post my post from last page here, just in case anyone missed it:

Germania has also made some improvements to its passive radar systems, and the detection rates for stealth aircraft is now around 70%.

 

 

 

Germania is also in the middle of a big population boom, due to the improved quality of life and more leisure time for workers.

you realise that declaring war on germania, is basically declaring war on me aswell? if dusty fights, i'll be helping him. and dont think you can survive a war with two super powers.

 

 

 

 

 

..

 

 

 

in other news: the russian satelite program is well underway, we have finished the majority of the surveliance and communications satelites (with one secret upgrade), and are currently working on the space station defence ones, and should be completed in a few years.

 

 

 

we also finished (previously) classified work on small, unmanned ariel drones used for surveliance. minimal cross-sections, small, radar absorbant paint. damn near impossible to see. carrying technology to find key strategic points for a fight (government buildings, military bases, weapons, armour and vehicles manufacturing plants) and to send their coordinates back home so that they can be easily be fire upon

 

 

 

and doom, if dusty DOES get attacked, he does have me to back him up, and my military is quite large aswell. and if it comes down to it, i can always resort to conscription aswell. but i dont want to.

 

 

 

 

 

more projects are being worked on, mainly the use or robotic soldiers (drones, basically) that fight remotley to ensure minimal russian lives are lost (and germanic, if they wish to use the technology once its finished) and new airborne vehilces to deliver it. when these projects are due for completion is unknown, but it'll be a few years

[Guest]

The project I mentioned earlier is way ahead of schedule. The prototype is finished, however we have major bugs in it that need to be worked out. I expect one more year till it's ready. (For those who don't know, I'm working on a mask which will allow you to breathe underwater)

while that seems to be fairly reasonable unless you are going all out on one thing (like my double headed invasion of burma and cambodia) you may wanna simply go for the 3 year scale 8-)

[walka92]

my humanoid drones initial designs have been drawn up, and they look something like this:

sibject to change. ofcourse. they carry inbuilt assault rifles, short-range exploding darts (AKA, SEDs). the SEDs are kind of like tiny missiles. on the longer, ony piece arm, it will either have rocket launcher or a grenade launcher. this is what we plan for them to have anyway.

Why can't I land on the moon? I just want to establish a base there, and I'm pretty sure it's international ground. I will later use that base to send probes to the outer planets.

well you can, but you need to spend a bit of time creating a space centre and a ship to get there. it takes a few years to do. and yeah, the moon is international land. noone owns it, but you cant be there in an instant with no forethought
