If anyone attacks, they will be hit by WMDs. It's not like we have a territorial dispute, and we both send soldiers to it, and it becomes a minor war. It's like if you invade my islands and somehow overcome my defences, which is when I will use WMDs.

 

------

 

That's what happens when WMDs aren't banned in the game rules. And I'm not in the UN, so they'll only intervene if I used them, which I would have justification for. Still waiting for Indonesia to be returned though...

Wait, Ross, you told me at school

 

Exosuits would suck, why're you developing them?

That are only 2.5 years ahead of the Japanese-Scandanavian exosuit projects.

Icu, no, I told you walkers suck. Exosuits are the future of infantry combat.

No you told me exosuits suck too... You mentioned the word exosuit in the sentence.

 

God dammit, if I knew they wouldn't suck >.>

 

Russia begins to research exosuits too with a 10 billion budget.

Wait, Ross, you told me at school

 

Exosuits would suck, why're you developing them?

In the uberfuture, exosuits become standard, and with all this research he'll have the best ones.

 

Retech, they won't return Indonesia until the conflict ends, and it won't end until I agree to a treaty, so I essentially control when you get it back. Threatening me doesn't help that cause.

 

Well I'm offering a white peace, which is basically peace without victory or defeat. That's basically the most UN thing you can ask for, so really, you're just making the war last longer when it doesn't need to. Besides, it's basically peace anyways, since if either side attacks, the other will retaliate with superweapons, and both sides are dead. Well, I guess Japan might not be dead. :P

Japan offers Russia the chance to join in on its exosuit research, which is only 2.5 years behind the Australian project.

If it came to WMD war, Japan would most definately be dead, along with the other side.

 

Also, Icu, keep in mind that your exosuits will be pretty far behind the Australian or Japanese ones.

 

Edit-

Or, Japan can just stick it's nose into the Research again <_<

Well it would basically be dead, but it would still have a navy that just needed maintanance. Then Japan could lease parts of it to other countries for money, and rebuild. Of course, I would rather destroy myself and all of you than losing Indonesia. I don't you think you feel the same way about that.

You're not exactly helping me with this Indonesian affair, so why should I keep exosuits exclusive?

For a few years, I doubt your spending 10 billion on the project, I'll catch up in 5-10 years.

With Archi, money doesn't do anything. 1 billion does the same as 10 billion, apparantly. Anyways, if Ross and friends don't agree to the peace treaty, then you can join my exosuit research, as long as you contribute.

 

Basically as long as we're at war, I'm doing everything possible against you.

Pumping money into a project does not make it that much faster.

 

On the other hand, how would Russia like to join in on Australia's Exoskeleton research? I'll even share genetics if you want.

^

 

That works too. Whole point is to share the exosuit research around. :P

We already have the same genetics almost, we've been doing it basically the same amount of time, just in different fields.

 

Yeah I'll join

That's my point, you have different genetic research done, so if we share, we both have all the kinds, making soldiers even more superior.

 

Okay, Russia-Australia exoskeleton project starts.

Well, I like my infantry better than exosuits. Instead of having huge, unhidable soldiers, I have fast, light, and powerful soldiers. Plus, every soldier will cost a few million, and transporting them will be a nightmare. The massive weight of the exosuits means they can't transport that many by plane, and the number movable in boats is reduced. Plus, they will be so easily detectable, as I said before, making killing them easy.

 

Project Heads Up has begun.

Well I'll be using them like tanks and such.

Archi, Japan just offered white peace to the enemy powers, and I think Ross sorta accepted, and Rocco wavered on it. UN response to Turkey not immediately agreeing to a white peace (peace without conditions)?

Interesting stuffs going on...

Switzerland announces no Exo-Suit plans. I am opting for Static Defence, thus Exo-Suits provide me with no real benefit....aside from stealing my valuable research and building time.

Retech the UN is there to make sure no one kills Civilians and to defuse the situation...they are not gonna instantly give back the islands so that you can continue on your venge-quest against Australia...nor are they going to let Australia and co use the islands to mount an assault into Japanese territory. The UN troops will stay there until it becomes reasonable for them to withdraw without fear of the war instantly reigniting.

Oh Archi, me and China agreed to split Mongolia in half.

Ico can you send a map

Doom, the whole point of the research is making them smaller and faster. They're already pretty fast, otherwise they'd just be horribly inneffective.

And it's not like all of the soldiers are going to be using exosuits, a lot of them are still going to be using regular, lightweight equipment.

 

Switzerland gets the exosuits anyway, as a show of good faith.

 

An unnamed project is nearly finished (Started it like 5 years ago, Archi knows about it)

Retech the UN is there to make sure no one kills Civilians and to defuse the situation...they are not gonna instantly give back the islands so that you can continue on your venge-quest against Australia...nor are they going to let Australia and co use the islands to mount an assault into Japanese territory.

But I still control the nation, if not directly. So projects continue as usual on the Indonesian islands, and Japanese aid workers begin burying the dead in proper one person graves.

 

A national day of mourning (I don't know what day the invasion was, but basically the invasion day) has been set up for the bombing of Tokyo/South Korea and the invasion of Indonesia.

Well no Indonesia is run by a UN peacekeeping force...otherwise Japan or Italy could just errect huge 'Screw off Japan/Italy' signs...Or go around murdering their rivials...Indonesia is essencially seperated from Japan for the duration.

As I've shown time and time again, I'm not a fan of engaging with infantry, so exosuits do me no good anyway.

 

I don't like infantry either. I'm only researching exosuits because I don't like a nation having a specialty that they can then use as leverage. Instead, I can use it as leverage, since exosuits are necessary in the Australian army (being so small), while if everyone had them, it wouldn't be any harm to me.

Well I still control the Indonesian government, which goes ahead and starts repairing war damage.
