Hegemony-V2 begins page 302

[RpgGamer]

In light of Africa's takeover by Argentina, Brazil, and myself(Luxembourg) I will initiate an organization. I call it COIN. It stands for Community Of Imperialist Nations. This organization will ensure all imperialist nations will not step on each others' feet while colonizing in the African region. All other decisions are up to the respecitive legislation of each individual country. Basically, it's a non-aggression agreement. All who agree to these terms, please respond. Those who don't respond will be assumed to have declined the offer and shall be treated more hostily.

 

I agree to the non-aggression pact, but will require another visit from the Pope. This time in Gabon, once we captured the country and calmed the citizens. With 60% of Gabon's citizens being Catholic, it's invaders inviting the Pope will ease relations between loyalists and the new government. Already, Port Gentil (2nd largest port of the city) has been captured and the army is fighting in the nation's capital: Libreville. Victory is near; the government is loosing support and resources due to our naval blockcade and their heavy reliance of imports. The lack of resources will force the people support the end of the invasion.

 

 

 

Back home, Argentine scientists and engineers are working on a modern, heavy assault tank: the TA64 (Tanque Argentino 64). This tank will support our troops occupying Gabon and national security. Our imports to relation of exports has increased to 47%, a staggering increase for a few months. Several new leatherworking and meat packaging companies are being set up due to the increasing economic status.

 

 

 

Three more submarines have been repaired from Lent's reign and are on route to Gabon.

 

 

 

Deal. The Pope's visit will be under the same conditions as the last visit. Luxembourg's troops are ever so close to complete control of Mozambique. Only a few figure heads remain, and a few citizens of Zimbabwe have already started to settle in the west side.

 

 

 

The Vatican military base has begun researching technology to begin production of LAARTs (Luxembourg Assault and Recon Transport). So far they look pricey, but should be able to carry a dozen troops, armed with 2 miniguns, an arsenal of anti-personnel bombs, and 3 dozen bunkerbusting missles. It guzzles fuel, but can easily span the distance of Europe without refueling. It moves similiar to a helicopter and bears a striking resemblance to this:

No offense mate, but how are you funding all this. If you combined the populations of luxembourg, and zimbabwe, you'd still have only about 14 million people, even with all the population increases you've had. Even exporting diamonds, that might net you up to a billion a year MAX, and the combined gdp's of luxembourg and zimbabwe is like 43 billion. And that's the gdp, not how much you actually have available to spend. You only have what taxes give you, which is much less than that. Lets say you get 10 billion, you still have to spend most of that on maintaining your country, education etc. Plus, Mozambique's army is stronger than luxembourg and zimbabwe's combined. Even with borrowed troops from argentina (was that it?) you'd have no chance of defeating Mozambique. Then you magically start building a helicopter type thing shaped like a republic gunship with more firepower than your entire army.

 

Oh, and Brazil does not join COIN at this point.

:o :(

 

I see your point, and I did promise to stick to realism. In my defense, I did have Russian troops also at my aid. You're right though, I have been spending alot. Even for the richest country around. I withdraw my LAART research for now. I will however do it again in a few years when I have more money. The fresh Argentian troops will replenish those in Mozambique, as the others are going to be released back to Argentina any day now. Russian troops are free to leave as they please, but are asked to please deposit their weapons in Zimbabwe first.

 

 

 

I am reluctant to hear that you've declined my offer to join COIN.

 

 

 

I call on the EC for military aid if Brazil happens to attack my collony (which I am having a hunch may just happen).

 

 

 

East Zimbabwe is now slowly being converted into an agricultural field. Should be complete in a year or so.

First, reluctant is the wrong word. It just doesn't fit.

 

 

 

Second, just confirming but, when you say "Even for the richest country" - I assume you mean even IF I was? I think that's the simplest way to explain it.

 

 

 

I don't think Japan will be taking part in MONEY yet either, but we'll see what happens.

My military experimentation has yielded very good results, and the first Exoskeletons are in production, named Exobreaker A-2, for no reason other than an awsome sounding name.

 

The Exoskeleton takes roughly 3 hours to take on or off, and will not limit the users agility in any way, since it is designed to be incredibly durable, as well as flexible. When wearing the suit, a 6 foot tall human stands at around 7 and a half feet, and looks rather intimidating.

 

It will increase the users sense of hearing by about 80%, their base running speed is increased by about 80%, and their base strength by around 120%. They will resist most basic gunfire, but are far from indestructible if very high calibur weapons (or explosives) are used.

 

Unfortunately, they are also incredibly expensive to produce, at around $190k.

 

Australia is interested in purchasing 100. I assume that the suits are useful in things apart from combat? I plan on having them used for things such as retrieving people from collapsed buildings when they are not being used by the military.

Sorry for Italy's inactiveness for this year. Italy's cousins were on the computer all day and Italy wasn't able to conduct research on more energy efficient vehicles.

 

 

 

So Italy is gaining money like it did last year, by attracting tourists, selling cars, fashion products, and food.

 

 

 

Research for solar powered planes will start next year and is planned to be finished in 3 or 4 years.

Luxembourg would like to know if it can build a port on the southern edge of Italy. Simply because I need a sea port somewhere between my mainland and my African colony(s).

 

 

 

In return I offer you free trade (previously it was tariffed) and full military support if you are attacked. I may even throw in a port somewhere in Mozambique for you once I'm done capturing it.

Current production is only allowing me to produce pitifully small numbers, there are currently only around 100 in the world, 30 owned by me, 5 by each of our allies, and the rest in storage.

 

Although with the donations from Japan for my research, I should be able to up production tenfold.

 

 

 

Basically, I am going to have to decline your offer for now, unless you wish to reduce it.

 

I can currently provide you with around 20-25.

 

They can be used for anything that may require encanced speed, strength, vision or hearing.

 

Although I should warn you, they serve to dehumanize those who wear them, which could affect morale.

 

 

 

 

 

The technology is designed to be tamper proof, if you try to open it up or reverse engineer it, the circuitry will burn itself out.

 

I don't wish for any other nation to have any more of them than me or my allies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Japan and Israel, there are 25 more suits en route to your capital cities.

Italy already has a bunch of ports, you're welcome to use them for trade.

 

 

 

Also trade within the EC is free and military back up is mandatory if a member is attacked. What's the point of having an alliance if there's no benefits?

Fair enough, I won't question you beating mozambiques army mostly do to their extremely antiquated technology, as long as you had proper support from your allies. Also, who are you allied with at this point, I've lost track.

 

 

 

Also, for that matter, can everyone post all of their public alliances, it's hard to keep track of.

 

 

 

I'm in a defensive pact with all of the former SAR, and am partnered with Norway with our space project.

This, basically.

 

 

 

My public alliances are as follows;

 

 

 

Israel, Iran and I are in a three way alliance.

 

 

 

Currently, the IAC consists of only Japan and an inactive Russia. Seriously; we're not doing much.

 

 

 

I believe that also Venezuela has promised permanent neutrality towards all actions from Japan. Apologies if I've got the wrong country, though.

Very good :)

 

I have sent some explorers East of Germany to see whats out there. I will claim any previously unclaimed land I run into within 4 months (4 rl hours from this post)

 

 

 

and as for my allegance

 

I myself am currently aligned with the European Confederacy, and have an organization called COIN regarding imperialsim in Africa.

 

 

 

My army currently has a handful of battleships, a small number of transport ships (multi-purpose for trade) 2000 Luxembourg elite troops (equipped with Isreali armaments). and a few million Zimbabwe citizens in the Zimbabwe militia. These are also armed mostly with Israeli equipment, some are still using their good ol' "boom stick". However their morale is very high, and they are very skilled with guerilla warfare.

 

 

 

I'm still in control of a large sum of Argentinian troops, armed with what they came with as well as left over Israeli equipment.

 

 

 

The Mozambique campaign is going very well, and although casualties were high, full control is expected within 2 months (2 rl hours)

[a_bert]

@Rpg, first, 4 months in game is 2 hours in RL. What with there being 24 hours in a day and 12 months in a year.. Unless I'm doing something very wrong.

 

 

 

Secondly, I thought you agreed you were being a little bit over expansive for your economy? Even if the land is "empty", it's still going to cost quite a bit to secure control (especially so far from your motherland! think of the transport costs and upkeep costs, soldiers aren't cheap stationed so far from home)..

That would have to be done at Faroe, as trying to graft something onto the suit would set off the tamper guards.

 

It can be done, but it would take a but longer to produce them.

 

A shoulder mounted rocket launcher is a little too hard to put on, as it would majorly upset the suits balance.

EDIT: Japan is entering talks with Papua New Guinea about a peaceful takeover, however Japan warns Mongolian leaders that if no agreement is reached before the end of the year (I give it a few hours?) then the military will quickly defeat PNG's (lol) huge active personnel of 2100. Japan intends to fight poverty in PNG and turn it into a agricultural haven.

Iran's leader is now going to sleep.

 

Australia, can you PM me for more discussion concerning the power suits, and I'll read it in the morning?

 

Same goes for anybody else.

 

Bear in mind there are only 60 suits available to sell at the moment.

 

They cost $270k to buy, or sufficient raw materials to create 3 more suits, whichever you choose.

I guess my impatience and lack of sleep are contributing to my over spending. And my lack of skill at time conversion. I guess I'll just explore the land for now. Send a diplomat over or something. You're probly right, I probly can't afford it.

 

I'm not going to bother editting my post because by the time I wake up tommorow, it'll all have happened anyway.

To end things, negotiations with Namibia, Zambia, and Botswana are nearing their final stages.

 

Our research facilities have been making great progress with the propulsion system, and we have begun construction of a space station (not on the scale of the ISS) for final assembly. Most of the details are classified at this point.

 

The final government HQ/Bunker has been completed at an undisclosed location.

 

Most of our frigates and cruisers we have been constructing are either completed or near completion.

 

Military spending is going to be at a minimum for the next few years, which, in all likelihood, means no more recruiting.

 

We are temporarily increasing taxes on all middle class and above citizens, which make up the majority of our country at this point.

 

I think that's all for now.

[evil_mumm_ra]

i'm sorry, but i don't have the energy to read 10+ pages every night. someone explain to me what happened in the past 24 hours.

I'll try to explain it all now. Hang on for an edit, in the meantime, here's the latest map

 

 

 

http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?p=6831780#p6831780

 

 

 

First, the "NWO" meeting ended with the destruction of Hawaii and the deathray lasers explodin'.

 

 

 

We also got set out some rules.

 

 

 

I think the only country claimed (that had anything done to it) since you last read was Da_Latios claiming all of Korea. He's currently staying isolated and constructing a nice LHC, which he hopes will be completed within 15 years.

 

 

 

In Africa, military conquest is rife. Brazil is close to controlling Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and I think Zimbabwe. Japanese and Iranian forces have lead a joint assault on Kenya. Eygpt/Libya expands into Algeria, and Luxembourgh is completing it's take over of mozambique.

 

 

 

Iranian/Israeli/Japanese scientists at the Faroe Island institute have created a "suit" called the Exoskeleton A-2 (I think) which basically makes the wearer superhuman.

 

 

 

Venezuelan scientists also working on the Faroe islands are working on seeds for Verde Soylante. I can't remember what they came up with though.

 

 

 

Argentina too, I think, is somewhere in Africa but I can't remember where.

 

 

 

China quit. - We've decided that China will basically be a "dead" nation and continue as it was pre-game, and all interaction other than pre-game trade will not be allowed.

 

 

 

Israel and the Lebanon is expanding into Saudi Arabia

 

 

 

That's as much as I can remember off the top of my head.

 

 

 

EDIT: Lol, the Brazil/Norway space program too.

[Wisp]

i'm sorry, but i don't have the energy to read 10+ pages every night. someone explain to me what happened in the past 24 hours.

 

Here's what I remember.

 

More countries are moving in to take control of (whether by force or diplomacy) unclaimed countries in africa.

 

There is a non-aggression pact for all the colonizing countries, that I think most have signed, the only country that I know that hasn't is my own, Brazil.

 

Brazil and Norway have partnered to research space exploration. Any donations the USA might want to give would be well received, as Brazil and Norway don't have the spending power to front such a massive project alone, atleast not for the time being.

 

The israelis have made lots of new small arms to improve their and their allies armies,

 

That's all I can remember for now.

i'm sorry, but i don't have the energy to read 10+ pages every night. someone explain to me what happened in the past 24 hours.

 

Here's what I remember.

 

More countries are moving in to take control of (whether by force or diplomacy) unclaimed countries in africa.

 

There is a non-aggression pact for all the colonizing countries, that I think most have signed, the only country that I know that hasn't is my own, Brazil.

 

Brazil and Norway have partnered to research space exploration. Any donations the USA might want to give would be well received, as Brazil and Norway don't have the spending power to front such a massive project alone, atleast not for the time being.

 

The israelis have made lots of new small arms to improve their and their allies armies,

 

That's all I can remember for now.

 

 

 

I think it was mainly Eygpt that was producing new light weapons.

 

 

 

Also, Japan is steering clear of COIN too (the pact in Africa).

 

 

 

EDIT: Here's how I see the layers of the game.

 

 

 

At the most basic level, there is the internal infrastructure being improved. Japan's forestry industry, for example.

 

 

 

Then the level equal with this is the trade/alliance level, where everything else that contributes to your countries "strength" goes.

 

 

 

And then the second level, where all the major updates and whatnot go, is basically military conquest and global _advancements_ (like the space program).

 

 

 

EDIT: Argentina sent it's troops to Gabon.

Whoops, I got them mixed up I guess.
