Sigh...Do we really need to go over the whole 'An hour to midnight' thing....Sigh...

Well at an hour to midnight all of the ships, which had been chartered, by civilians, though whatever channels they chose to conduct themselves though, decided to veer off course. Now all of these ships were less than an hour's journey from the .5 Light Year limit, and thus an hour later disappeared into warp and appeared later on outside Adrigas. Since everyone else just got on with things I got away with it.

 

Its not so much a 'bad idea' as 'in the past' it has happened and if you want to react to it then you can do it now and you should have done it then...

 

Next. I didn't go around stealing them on my own, as the above indicates they were hired, I foolishly assumed that there was some civil administration as well as Governmental...Partly from Mather not paying any wages and yet claiming tax....

 

Thirdly, as you keep reminding me, money is important, and since I have resources which other people might want it is important to extort as much out of it as possible.

 

Fourthly the reverse engineering thing is just a research project I have going on.

 

Fifthly, no matter how heavily armed they are(and the ones that I have are not heavily armed, as I have since 'guessed' they may have come from scrapyards or something like that...), the pilot deciding to change course does not incur any weapon system's wrath, unless of course there was some kind of auto destruct system, which you failed to activate and has since(as of now) been removed from the ship and if it was designed to go off if it was removed then it failed to.

 

Sixthly(Out of Order but oh well), no, Ross had 3 days, 72 hours, to slaughter me with Icarus drone, and that didn't happen.

 

Doom- I just picked the populated systems and said ships came from there. I had sort of assumed that people had accepted that and factored it somehow.

 

I am more than happy to remove the transports, to say that there was only.... 12 Warp Capable ships there and the rest were interplanetary ships which had somehow been fused onto the side of the warp capable ones. The only real issue I have is that it has been and gone, and changing it now would mean a total rewrite, which is not really something I want to do, considering that there were 3 days to consider the impacts of my actions individually. Not only that but two additional days have gone past where I have posted summaries saying that 60 ships were present.

Even more than that I asked you if I could join and outlined how many ships and how many sites and the technology level and you said

Sure. I think that seems fair

[Wisp]

How about we just say that the people joining you banded together and commissioned transports to be built from private companies. That work?

[The Dark Lord]

How about we just say that the people joining you banded together and commissioned transports to be built from private companies. That work?

 

I think that's what he originally said when he joined. The transports weren't governmentally-owned, but rather owned through private companies in favour of the rebel faction.

[archimage_a]

I prefer 'Chartered by private companies and stole' its more dramatic, but yeah, if you feel more comfortable with that then lets go with that...it would also give my people good reason to come off money... at 300 Billion each it would have bankrupted all of my people.

 

Anyhow, I am going to bed. I am happy to change the story so long as its impact is negligible on what I have already written... as such I need at least 25 transports, 15 of which only capable of transporting 150,000 people each.

[hide=For your benefit the escape plan][/hide]

[a_bert]

Also, I've "claimed" Russia, I haven't "taken" Siberia. Nothing is finalised until 24 hours have passed, imo, which is ample time for any resistance to be posted yet short enough for the game to progress.

 

Seriously guys. You think someone could take half of Russia, and it's overseas colonies, in about 4 months?

 

What? Just be patient, for christ sake.

I've got an idea, unless you guys really don't want controlable near-instantanious travell we can make it so that when I've researched ZPMs fully I construct a sister-ship to Atlantis except more secure hallways etc.(so that no one takes over the chair/jumpers without authorization(btw. the ATA-gene is required for someone to do that)) and then I send it to some oceanic/arctic world which would then become a de-militarized zone.

There we could send a few scientists each(if you wan't to join in) and start researching stargates,...

(power requirement lowered because they would be made mainly from naquadah, I would then be done with cold fusion too so a miniature generators could be placed in each DHD(Dial-Home-Devices - stationary remotes for the gates)and last I found info of an existing exotic matter last time we discussed it)

...when the research is done we could either make a Destiny-class ship to make and place them or make them ourselves and use our own ships to place them on desired worlds.

[Retech]

Hi, I would like to make an alien race in a heavily aquatic planet.

 

The Lichtes have been locked in a Civil War for generations. Despite overwhelming victories by the WDL (Welles des Licht), the war continued to drag on because of the species' high birth rate, long life, and lack of war weariness (will be explained below).

 

In the species, females are incredibly gifted with abilities mainly associated with brain power. They can understand concepts quickly and can remember plans in their heads with stunning accuracy. This makes this race adept for spying, mathematics, and famed for scouting.

 

The males are pretty much polar opposites. They understand simple instructions rather easily (advance, retreat, march, etc), but lack the technical knowhow to operate space ships or other mechanized weaponary. Males are extremely resilient, and in times of stress, they can reproduce asexually (when infected by a virus, or shot). These new spawn are small, and can survive on their own. They are equipped with a natural guiding system to bring them back to members of their own species. They listen to the queen.

 

The Lichtes are highly prone to politics, it being the most respected profession. The other factions opposing the WDL were themselves tricked by WDL diplomats to join the WDL, and since they were defeated politically, they acquiesced to WDL rule.

 

The WDL (the faction which controls the entire surface of the planet) is ruled by a queen with absolute power.

 

Technologies include:

- Experimental Warp Drives (primitive version of the ones humans have

- Deep Chemical Drilling (enables the drilling past the oceanic crust in order to extract precious chemicals)

- Cloning (for cloning the queen when she gets weaker, thus being ruled by the same queen for generations)

- Mathematical Understanding of the 4th Dimension (enables 25% stronger ships, despite their ships being puny)

- Self Deploying Mortars

- Deep-Sea submersibles

 

Strong in

-Aquatic Enviroments

-Paradise

-Earth-like Enviroments

 

Neutral in

-Mountains

 

Weak in

-Desert

-Volcanic

 

 

The Lichtes are highly adept on fighting both land and sea battles, being embroiled in civil war for generations. However, they have just recently begun to look at the stars, so they are weak in that. They eat a primary diet of kelp, fish, and are highly adverse to wheat based products.

 

The Lichtes can be mercenaries, as long as sums of gold are paid, and transport ships are sent to pick them up.

[Retech]

As a result of the civil war and the Lichtes' high breeding rate, there are 10 million "highly trained" soldiers and a massive assortment of land and sea vehicles. However, there are no transports to carry them, so there is no invasion threat.

 

The queen has decreed:

 

The Lichtes people wish to expand to other Aquatic and Earth-like systems. For a gold payment, technology, and help transporting our soldiers, we will invade a nation and strike them down with 5 million soldiers. You may think, we have more than 5 million soldiers, what do we need them for? The Lichtes reproduce quickly, so even if half of our soldiers perish in the invasion, we'll be back to 5 million in a couple years!

 

To other nations, we only wish to expand! Help us, and you will be well rewarded. If other nations hire some of our mercenary forces against you, fear... yet do not fear! We are doing our task, and we will never stop, but we can be reasoned with... perhaps technology and gold shall do the trick...

[Grim_]

Hey Ross going by that I think I am going to want another 1k helios spheres around my earth like planet. Also the 5 massive surface ion cannons have been completed. Malaysia update:

ARCHIVE C and X continue.

Space and infrastructure spending continue.

Mining is being set up on desert and rocky worlds.

Farm ships 2/5

Super freighters 1 completed

Space depots 2/10

Hypersonic jet production continues

I probably forgot some things but thats all the important stuff.

[Seraphi]

For the record, I have about 30 transport ships at last count, but they can't be chartered or taken due to the lack of life support. Simply put, humans would both suffocate, die from radiation poisoning (Nerexcite coating on the interior of the ships) and freeze to death at once, so my ships can't be stolen or veered off course or whatever.

I'm going to create 10 new space stations over the next 16 years.

 

Mather, no. Stop trying to slip your stargate tech in again.

[RpgGamer]

@Retech

 

I usually threaten those that claim cloning as their specialty, as don't like the competition of my monopoly. Yours however seems to only deal with cloning your queen and reproducing asexually. I'll turn a blind eye to it, as long as it doesn't progress further than that. If you try cloniong humans, me and you are going to have a problem.

 

Otherwise, welcome to Hegemony :D

[archimage_a]

Queen of the Lichtes,

We, the System of Free Worlds do bare humble welcome to your new empire and as that you transmit your system co-ordinates to us (Recea Decimus, Meoxo and Nexetras all have currently empty Aquatic worlds so making one them your home world would be cool(there is a map on the first page), though the first two do have other races already in system) so that we can begin trade negotiations.

We offer water fruit, a great food product (which is not wheat-based but is being mass produced on my planets) which we are happy to sell for a very small number of, between 1 and 5 Gold Standards each.

We also offer transport services, we have fifteen warp capable transport ships which we are happy to sell to you for only 100 billion Gold Standards each.

We are interested in acquiring your deep chemical drilling, in exchange we offer a license to manufacture our Ion Engines, which will greatly speed your intersystem transports.

 

Thank you,

Ernest Winthrope, Leader of the System of Free Worlds and Anti-War League.

[Nero]

Yay, 1.5 Million people(And 100,000 for each additional Year up to 3 then losing 200,000 per year after that, not including other issues) from Asurna revolt in favour of forming the Anti-War League. Ships have been dispatched (Assumedly) to Yggdrasil at a distance of 46.60 Light Years. Travel time is 2.932 years. Loading will take .5 years to complete. For this mission fifteen transports will be dispatched, all transports are sporting Micro-Macro Arrays at a cost of 16 Civic Points. My bonus research point has also been expended on finding out the information.

 

(Much simpler formula for light speed jumps (0.02*X)+2 OR, for hours, (0.48*X)+48

Since 10 light years takes .2 years and 100 light years takes 2 years it makes sense that 1 light year will take 0.02 light years, plus time to speed up and slow down.

0.02 times 24 is 0.48.

4.8 Hours is also 1/5 of 24.

Essentially, time taken is the number of light years traveled doubled then divide by 10

 

People in Russia on Earth also revolt, but due to the security of the system no effort is made to reach them.

Why are they heading towards my system (Yggdrasil)?

[archimage_a]

Couldn't find which system Russia's planet was in, so did a search and that mentioned Yggdrasil in the same post, and in lie of a better candidate I picked that one....Additional to that Yggdrasil is the furthest system from mine so therefore I will travel to somewhere closer in the same timeframe...In all honesty it makes very little difference it takes 3 days to travel to any planet...

I'm pretty sure the Russian planet, land, space stations, and everything else would join the Terran Federation.

Also, Walka's post seems to have forgotten that I had control over the Russian military, so no, it wasn't paralyzed. You guys just staged a ground invasion of the largest country that had a millions strong army. Have fun with getting trounced.

 

Anywho, while all you idiots sent your troops to go attack Russia, The Terran Federation has staged a massive amphibious assault on Britain, the homeland of Britannia. Around 4 million veteran troops equipped with the latest Federation military technology have taken the beachheads along southern Britain, and reinforcements are pouring in there (I assume I took the beach-heads since Sere never even talked once about defending them).

 

The Troops in Africa have also prepared their defenses.

 

And I'm actually a bit amazed you guys would think that Russia would join you, considering, as Doom pointed out, Walka and I have been allies for like 100 years.

[The Dark Lord]

I've had defences all over the British Isles ever since you invaded Europe. Anyway, the Holy Empire's military has been mobilised.

 

So yes, you haven't taken over Southern Britain. Anyway, Britannian troops are combating the barbarians as they invade our soil for no reason, considering that it's a Russian conflict.

Link to post?

Barbarians, lol. Btw, we're already at war y'know.

And since when are you the "Holy" Empire? Haha.

[Seraphi]

Come on guys, lets not have a screaming contest again.

"I invade you. I instawin"

"Nuh-uh, I shot all your stuff"

"Yeah-huh, I went around your defenses"

"Did not"

"Did too"

etc.

 

We need to actually have a war judge, who is not participating, and will work out correct percentages and not mod the results.

 

My incoming fleet has been instructed to send 15 million drones into Britain(4 million into Wales, 4 million into Scotland, 7 million into South East england) , 15 million into what was previously Aether, at the point closest to the German border. Sere/Dungeon will have command of these troops if I'm not around.

They'll be arriving tommorow.

 

Dusty, Sere has command of the Holy Empire's troops, due to the fact that Latino is a viceroy to the Brittanian empire or something.

[archimage_a]

'm pretty sure the Russian planet, land, space stations, and everything else would join the Terran Federation.

Yup, that seems likely...Everyone on a planet has one ideal...

COME ON! Be realistic about this, 1.5 million people revolting against being killed(potentially) is not an unrealistic thing to happen. Further Russia and Terra may have been allies for a long time but Terra only shares one boarder with Russia, so everywhere else would be subject to some kind of take over. Further Walka said the military was paralyzed so they were.

Field Marshall Demeter just looked for personal power and by allying himself with Britannia he gained that power, much more than he would have gained if he allied with Terra. Though he then died... But that is beside the point.

 

And I'm actually a bit amazed you guys would think that Russia would join you, considering, as Doom pointed out, Walka and I have been allies for like 100 years.

 

Who is you guys? The Anti-War league looks for stability without global war erupting...As your actions show you do not want that, so in hindsight the Anti-War League got a good deal, even if they didn't personally choose that path.

 

Anyway, Greater Russian armies are mobilized against the Russian armies and civil war breaks out, Greater Russian forces are numerically superior in Greater Russia but outside of the mapped area are virtually none existent. The population has not been mobilized for fear that they would join the Terran Federation. Thus Greater Russia controls around 12 Million troops(On today's scale so what that is in game terms I don't know... but its a lot, about 9% of the population), focused mainly in the heartland and on the Terra Boarder.

 

The Anti-War League(Under the name 'Russian Unity Party' rises to have popular support in parts of the Heart land of Russia as well as some control outside of the heartland. The Russian Unity party refuses to get involved until after a winner has been decided.

 

Siberia revolts against Greater Russia and aligns itself(in general terms) with the Terran Federation. Valdivostok however remains in Greater Russian hands and has mobilized troops north to protect the boarder.

 

Since the situation is currently defensive Greater Russia makes no moves to expand its territory but instead digs in on the lines established on the map.

Um. I'm pretty sure you can't just pull an army of 30 million out of thin air.

And Arch, don't try and tell me I'm the bad guy here unless you've read through both the original hegemony and this one thoroughly. Maybe you'll see a different picture then.

 

Come on guys, lets not have a screaming contest again.

Dusty, Sere has command of the Holy Empire's troops, due to the fact that Latino is a viceroy to the Brittanian empire or something.

...

I'm invading a landmass right beside my borders, with some of the best trained and equipped troops in the world, and its an area that has never had any mention of defenses being built there. I'm pretty sure I'd take it, considering it was a surprise attack and all.

Also, Ross. Those drones will just be shot down.

[archimage_a]

Yeah I realised that, so it is scaled down. And it is not pulled out of thin air it is the Old Russian Army, the ones loyal to the new regime anyway.

 

Also I am not saying you are a bad guy, I am just saying that in the last year you have attacked a power which had been invited in....

[Seraphi]

Dusty, my drones are sent down in large armoured pods, which activate large thrusters before they hit the ground to lessen impact.

Theres no way in hell you'll be shooting them down. Some of them, yes, but you have no hope in getting all of them, or even most of them.

And don't say that you can shoot the ships carrying them down, they are being escorted by a fleet of 20 warships.

 

I'm also pretty sure that Sere did make sure the british isles were well defended, so you can't just push a damn win button and take it.

 

I can tell this turning into a screaming match. We need somebody to judge before anything can happen.

The Russian Army was under my control, so I'm not exactly sure how you managed to gain control of it...

And, 'I attacked a power which had been invited in'? What does that mean? Me attacking Britain? We were already at war.

I think you're the one turning it into a screaming match.

 

And, talking about "win buttons", let's talk about these impenetrable armoured steel encased drop pods that are apparently invulnerable to nuclear interceptor missiles. If that's not a win button idk what is.

 

And I have a fleet over Earth, as well as a couple of battlestations, fighter squads, and the Earth to Space fighters that I can launch, so...

[Seraphi]

Earth to space fighters? How the hell does that work? The amount of fuel required to break the atmosphere wouldn't fit in a small fighter.

I have space fighter squads too, for the record..

What I'm saying is that there is basically no way for you to shoot more than about 20% of the drop pods down.

 

I think everyone that posts is contributing to the screaming match, and we're basically all pushing win buttons, in all honesty. WE NEED SOME KIND OF JUDGE OR THIS JUST DOESN'T WORK.

[archimage_a]

The Russian Army was under my control, so I'm not exactly sure how you managed to gain control of it...

It wasn't under your control Walka said definatively:

the military has been unable to mobilies and defend itself, leaving it open to invasion by any who feel so inclined.

Thus me taking control of a section of it was made possible by having a popular support basis, which I am allowed to do under Changes 3rd of November (which no one objected to), which led to legitimacy in the civilian world because they appealed to the patriotic cause which lead to the army being swept into its being, which then followed as a military coup detat, and thus allowed Sere to take control of that whole thing by an Oath of Fealty.

 

Any questions?

 

And, 'I attacked a power which had been invited in'? What does that mean? Me attacking Britain? We were already at war.

Still you attacked another power.

 

Shouting matches aside...I think that fighting a war needs to be done by a set of rules which we all agree to...So Armour/Speed(to Dodge) stats and Weapon Stats and so on and so forth. I shall work on a system if no one has a problem with that, since I have no vested interest except a smoothish transition of power and a stable balance of power afterwards.
