Hegemony: 1970

[Wisp]

If Napoleonic Hegemony ends:

 

The year is 1970, and the United States are no longer exactly United. Civil war has torn many of the world's governments apart, and a few months ago, a tenuous treaty was signed between all the warring states, leaving several independant regions. This peace of course didn't last too long, and now it's your time to pick a state and fight for supremacy. [/bad storyline]

 

So this will work similar to Napoleonic Hegemony in terms of budget, and research. This time, everyone starts the same though. Research costs 1m a year, fields include weaponry, computers, agriculture, industry, etc.

This will be a game on a small scale, everyone will start with a budget of 5m.

 

Budget will be calculated like Dusty's, only no Tariff taxes to start.

So, Base x Production, Base x Technology %

Budget will reset every 4 days, and carry's over.

I will have a similar random event system to Napoleonic Hegemony.

[Wisp]

Region Bonuses:

 

Pacific States (Red) (Spork):

+Technology Research

 

Western States (Orange):

+ Agriculture Research, -5% infantry costs

 

Greater Texas (Light Orange) (Dungeonal):

-10% Vehicle Costs

 

Midwest (tan):

Bomb Shelters: Bombing runs on city's, and civilian targets are significantly less effective.

 

Central American States (Yellow) (Dusty):

+ soldier discipline, + agriculture research.

 

The South (Dark Green):

The South Rises Again: Greater morale, discipline, when fighting Greater Vermont, Washington, or the Great Lakes.

 

Washington (Lime Green):

Freedom: Less chance of revolts from conquered territory (other than The South)

 

Great Lakes (Light Blue) (Icu):

Car Industry: +5% Production, -5% vehicle costs

 

Greater Vermont:

Ben&Jerry's and Maple Syrup: Much lesser chance of revolts

[Nero]

I'll take one of the Central American states :D

[a_bert]

Greater texas please!

[Wisp]

Oops, to clarify, you get the whole region. If more than 8 people join, I might have to divide it up a bit more. Or include Canada.

[jasignhagj]

I'll take Cali, now known as The Federated States of Columbia.

 

Ideology - Socially Left, Economically right leaning.

Issues - Environmentalism, Pro-Choice, Gay Rights, Minor Socialism, Drug Decriminalization.

Religion - Secularized, majority Christian.

Industry - Technology, Agriculture, Power, Mining, Fishing.

Population - ???

Fun Fact - If California was it's own country, it would have the eighth highest GDP in the world.

Politics - Columbia is currently lobbying British Columbia to separate from Canada and become a part of our nation.

[Icuownage]

Lakes please.

[Seraphi]

Wait, wont this just mean that Delta V will be pushed back further?

[Icuownage]

Nawww, Archi will probably start that soon when everyone has finished their start up.

[a_bert]

archi is waiting for every lazy moron who wants to play delta v to post their stuff

 

nothing to see here, just clogging up dooms thread

[Iconic]

I won't be joining, I don't think another [insert-time-period] hegemony would be that great, instead focusing on new gameplay features and such would be a lot more fun.

 

Don't you feel its a little unwise to post this when Delta V is coming so soon? With nearly everyone playing Delta V I don't think this game will prosper and won't really reach its full potential. This game will probably work but at this moment in time I don't think you will get many players and with only four now this doesn't look like it will progress quickly. Icu, I think your right but posting another hegemony thread at such a cruical time is going to either hinder this or Delta V and with four players at the moment I feel that Delta V will be fine.

[Icuownage]

Well you have to think about the people who aren't actually playing Delta V....

[Iconic]

All the players who are playing this are also playing Delta V.

[archimage_a]

If Doom is willing to run a game, and people are willing to play it, then it should be run.

[Iconic]

Archi, it's just extremly bad timing.

[a_bert]

keep your nose to yourself

[Earth]

Bah, no more hegenomies for me. Nor delta V. Those aren't fun for me anymore.

[a_bert]

[jasignhagj]

I think there is potential for both games to run at the same time. Nap hegemony wasn't exactly super active, and seeing that this is the same style, It shouldn't be too hard to play both.

 

I personally have no interest in Delta V, it seems too micromanagy, and far-future bores me.

[Wisp]

In retrospect, this is now Hegemony 1970. So that way we have more time before the future.

[Wisp]

Also, if this goes according to plan, troop movement will be factored in. You, in general, don't want to have your army march 1,000 miles to the battle, when you could have them arrive fresh and rested if you have them fly or drive there. This will offer bonuses/lack of negatives. Other things that will be included in the game is the ability to purchase better weapons and gear for your troops, and actually have it count. I think I'll use the General system, similar to Dusty's as well.

[archimage_a]

Hmmm...

 

Maybe you should add oil refineries/pumps to the map, along with docks and airfields.

A Train system would be good too.

Major highways could be added as well.

 

To facilitate troop movement...and to create bottlenecks and such.

 

 

The Generals system from the last game could do with tweaking:

 

Black Beret (Tanks are more effective in combat, other classes are weaker)

Green Beret (Infantry are more effective in combat, other classes are weaker)

Maroon Beret (Aircraft are more effective in combat, other classes are weaker)

Tan Beret (Elite forces are more effective in combat, other classes are weaker)

Blitzkreig (Troops move faster, costs are increased)

Cautious (Less Casualities, on both sides)

Shock and Awe (More Casualities, on both sides)

Offensive doctrine (better on the attack, worse on defence)

Defensive doctrine (better on the defense, worse on offense)

Logistics Wizard (Costs are halved, speed is lowered)

Special Weapons Doctrine (Random, prototype weapons, are used*)

Inspirational (Troops are more Couragous, less likely to follow orders)

Iron Fist (Troops follow orders, less Couragous)

Platoon Leader (All troops fight moderately better, moderate chance of General dying)

Radio Commander (All troops fight slightly better, can be blocked)

Turtle (Slower movement, less costs)

Martial Law (Revolutionaries are dispatched easily, increased chance of new ones taking their place)

Patriot (Revolutionaries are harder to fight, but less chance of them coming back after you leave)

 

1 Star (All troops fight slightly better)

3 Star (All troops fight moderately better)

5 Star (All troops fight considerably better)

 

 

Having two or three traits, instead of one, means far less switching generals around, and would mean that, instead of a different general for every battle, troops could be tied to a specific General...giving bonuses.

 

 

*Prototype weapons like Depleted Uranium Shells, Napalm bombs, Guided Missiles... More effective, but more likely to blow up in your face.

[Retech]

So traits aren't necessarily positive anymore? Maybe each trait has a corresponding likely weakness, so if a general has one positive trait, they're likely to have the negative trait, and vice versa. That way generals learning traits in combat would be better than usual generals aside from the star system you had, because they'd be earning positive traits without gaining negative.

[Nexaduro]

Logistics Wizard and Turtle seem the same, with Turtle having less significant advantages and disadvantages.

[Wisp]

So, anyone interested in getting this started?
