Yeah, that was part of the "it looks a bit sloppy" - I couldn't tell if he had a nose that was composed of 2 lines or just a sorta chubby chin.

 

Also, guys, GUESS WHAT. H&H World 5 is coming out. Like really, really soon.

 

I might track down the guys from Crossroads and see if I can join 'em again, or I might just hermit/duo-hermit with Spork.

 

Eithe rway, I'm definitely sticking with the Stork/Urist method. One industry pure, one nature pure, and maybe a couple keyalts/altvaults.

Been thinking about a new hegemony, set present day ish.

 

Watching Regenesis too, so got some of the ideas from there.

 

Anywho.

New Hegemony would be built on three principles:

IAD, or Industrial-Agricultural Development.

Prestige.

Events.

 

 

IAD is money. Specifically Tax money.

Growth is directly proportional to tax rate, with 5% growth per year being the max, and 10% reduction being the minimum.

Doesn't matter how amazing your social welfare or nuclear missile array is if your industry is in shambles and your people are starving.

 

 

Prestige is how you are viewed by your citizens and the rest of the world. 0 to 100.

Prestige is broken down into 5 sub groups worth 20% each:

World Presence

Technological Prowess

Moral Standing

Biological Impact

Economic Mobility

 

World Presence is about how much power you have over the rest of the world...Getting involved in International Incidents, building nuclear weapons, investing in other countries.

Technological Prowess is about how scientifically advanced you are...Researching genetic engineering, space programs, building high speed trains.

Moral Standing is how you treat your people and the rest of the world...Investing in other countries, social welfare and not letting people find out you killed some upstart revolutionary.

Biological Impact is your impact on the world...Genetic Modification, Green power and Recycling.

Economic Mobility is how fast and how much money you make...Top player gets 20%, Next top gets 15%, and so on.

 

All countries get prestige, but NPC countries more or less bumble along, except for random events, which can increase or decrease prestige by a few points.

 

Prestige has two functions:

High Prestige makes it near impossible to go to war, but, you remember those 'investing in other countries' things...Prestige is how much money you make out of them and how much influence you have over them. Anything over 50% more prestige than another country, and 50% of their IAD belong to you, and you can install a puppet government. While they are still their own country, they will do whatever you say unless your prestige drops to within 25%, or your IAD share is below 50% for more than 5 years.

If you have prestige at 10% or lower then you get nothing.

 

Low Prestige makes economic investment a waste of money...But gives you a major bonus in going to war. A country with 0 Prestige fights with a 1,000% Bonus in conflict, 10 Prestige is a 900% bonus...and so on.

Before you drive your prestige into the ground, remember technological prowess. To reach 0 you need be fighting with WW1 level technology.

 

Finally events:

Two types of event:

Minor events, like technological breakthroughs or political wrangles which limit or expand your power (If you are America, taxes at 50% and you are heavily investing in Canada then Americans are gonna get hissy and the senate will try to screw up relations by embargoing maple syrpe(If I spell it wrong you can't get me!)), or a nuclear power plant has blown up and people are getting scared.

 

Events are random, usually international, events, which occur every 7 years (weekly). They are usually major opportunities to make a lot of money or boost your prestige...Or to get drawn into a sticky situation.

These will usually be in the form of PMs to people and it is up to them to spread the events as they see fit.

For example, America may get reports that Canada is developing a Nuclear Weapons Program, and there have been reports that, because of the embargo on syrpe, they are planning to threaten American interests.

Or a British made Bio-Weapon has found its way to South Africa, and a terrorist cell is trying to buy it for use against Brazil.

Or China is preparing for war with India.

 

 

 

Other notes:

Global Warming has been shown to not be so unavoidable as was previously thought, and you have until 2050 to reduce emissions, for the world, to a reasonable amount per year, or 'The Warming' will occur, which will do various things to various countries.

Similarly Fossil Fuel reserves have been found, extending Oil and Coal to at least 2050 at present usage, probably more.

Research is limited to 1 Free Government project, though you can outsource other research contracts if you want, you will get 3 quotes back. Cheap and Fast, Fast and Secret or Secret and Cheap.

Space exploration is strictly solar system bound for the foreseeable future, and setting up a Space Colony works just the same way as if you were investing in another country. Colonies start with 50% Prestige, however.

 

 

 

Any questions?

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

It looks rather interesting. We will be using the real world map correct? So to clear something up; high prestige makes it easy to form alliances with NPC countries correct?

Prestige can be useful in building alliances, but is at the mods discretion.

If you choose Bhutan, for instance, you would have 40 prestige from near perfect morals and the best Green Record in the world...However that doesn't mean America, if it was NPC, is gonna join your alliance against China.

 

And yes, real map seems sensible.

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

Jus' had some serious bs on pokemon white.

 

First gym leader, his first pokemon finds a ton of oran berries (his power is pickup, which activates rarely) so each time it's close to dying it gets freakin healed, it spams work up, and then just proceeds to one hit the rest of my pokemon.

It's a REALLY big shaft.

I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.

how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?

I am waiting to find a second DS so I can transport my legendaries from diamond and pearl (mom gave me one and Dad gave me the other, because they don't talk to each other) to Black.

I'll get Black whenever it comes here to Norway (if it hasn't already), though I should get a new DS, my old one has lacked the stylus for three years, the touch screen looks like it's been sandblown and today I broke the lower-right part of its hinge...

Maybe does B/W have GTS? If so is it compatible with D/P/P? If so then I can help you out with those legends, Retech.

 

Happy birthday, Earth!

It has a GTS and some sort of poke transfer.

What pokémon that are accessible in D/P do you have yet? Just so we can test. I can trade some pokemon (that you can't find?) for any of those.

 

Smong those I can offer are Cranidos, Anorith, Omanyte, Aerodactyl, a lot of Bagons (from the max EP attempt), or even a Groudon or a Blaziken. But I'm not letting go of Jirachi.

 

Wait a minute, Jirachi is steel/psychic... WTF?
