If only people would do diplo, but even though I said how pwerful you are relative to each other, it's all stats, stats, stats. *sigh*

Nope!

indeed, poeple love maps and stats

Maps is easy. Stats are boring.

I'm too biased, sorry.

Thought I could help when I had time, I don't know the codes for cost.
This is just what I think from reading the small explanations about them, I suggest that you look over them and fix so that they are like you thought they will be. I got no school tomorrow and may help you with Asia/Middle East if you want?

It is nice, yes, but a bit on the heavy side for manpower and troops numbers, especially cavalry. One unit of infantry is 50,000, cavalry is 25,000.

If I get this cursed Biology writing assignment done tonight, I'll get this done right after.

Why would Travancore be less armed with gunpowder? My beginning description specifically stated we would have a HIGH amount of gunpowder troops, and that the Travancori army is small, the navy being large.

travancore's army is larger then China's.... beware heretic, noone has a larger army then China....

It's being changed.

NK you are great. We sing praises to comrade NK.

...and remember, let stones fall on the houses of the western foriegners.

Okie. *Hails stones on the Gujarati citizens*

Okie, I got all PC stats. But there's a bonus. I have a half day tomorrow, so I can work on this more. You'll get two new stats along with this, which should make peacetime orders more interesting and your nation more dynamic. Kudos to anyone who can guess them. But without further ado (note that I'm keeping those who quit's nations listed as theirs in case they have a change of heart before the second update):

Description: Spared the brunt of the collapse, the massive Akkadian empire managed to continue a policy of all around expansion even through the troubled times.

New stats - Confidence, Piety

It is also an odd combination of governments, with feudal estates sending elected representatives to meet with the king to decide affairs.

Click to expand...

That's hardly odd. OTL Poland was like that till Partition, and Hungary was rather similar, and HRE was like that but way overboard for most of its history.

One more grudge - we're DIVINE Monarchy. The "parliament" is merely an advisory body with no power apart from whatever maluk allows them for the moment.

Anyway, great, great, should we send in orders?

Yes, definately. For NPCs, I think you can pretty much figure out how powerful they are by looking.

Oh, and no, those aren't the stats, though the Piety one might be added, now that I think of that...

Oh. Centralization-Decentralization and Tyranny-Freedom, then?

That's Divine, not Dvinie (Weenie?).

Other then that, expect a confusing story soon.

Just noticed a flaw in the rules. You might want to add to the Military section...
