JNES IV: The Conquest for the World

Ya, I know, I didn’t think I would be doing another NES too, with all the civil war orders not being sent in that nearly drove me to my grave. But I find myself with more time on my hands, and with DSL I am now able to get on anytime I wish. Hopefully this will save the NES on this forum :). Also, I vow, if I at least get 1/2 orders in every update, to continue this NES for as long as it may last! I also am doing things a bit different, thus making my life easier! Anyways, here it is:

JNES IV: The Conquest for the World

Background:

After the third and fourth world war, all with in two decades, a very different world emerges. Britain, now slowly regaining power, is becoming a world rival, while United States are slowly running our of natural resources. And in Europe, the French United States dominate the west, and the German and Russian empires the east. Russia, remaining neutral in all wars, is just a tiger ready to be let out of the cage. China and Japan, just exiting after another war with each other, results in nothing but land loss for China in the west.

Rules have been compiled by numerous NES’s among this thread, and a couple original ideas by me.

*ALL THAT WILL BE SHOWN ON THE MAP ARE A PICTURE OF 1 SHIP/ARMY, SIGNALLING THAT SOMETHING IS IN THE SEA/PROVINCE, BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT

Attacking: Attacking, since there will be different units and such, will be a compilation of common sense, training, and a couple dice rolls. Like in UKNESIV, I will not have certain stats be given for each unit. Each unit may only attack once in a turn.

Moving: The same in all NES’s (usually), 1 territory/sea per turn. But, as long as the territories are adjacent through land, you may move indefinitely amongst your empire.

Updates will be when everyone has their orders in. There is a limit of time I will wait, however. Also, your orders should specifically state what you are doing, and the cost of the action. Also, please put what continent/ocean in which each province/sea you talk about is. I.e.

Infantry in Mau (afr) attack Mor(afr) (doesn’t cost anything)
(each actions should be separated by a space)
Build a factory in Uni(N.A.)…(the cost)

You see? Also, for orders that are wrong, if time, I will PM you saying your orders are wrong and ask you to redo them. If no time (i.e. I got all the orders in when I check), then I will ignore the wrecked action.

Each nation does receive initial starting units, based on the past. You will begin with the units in your capital, and on first turn may distribute them. Some nations do not have a Military base on the coast, in which until they do their initial navy is all they can have.

No, not all the nations are equal. Some people like taking the underdog, though! This is for you guys!

Each territory generates different amount of credits, though most will generate 5 credits a turn. If the territory generates more then usual, you will be notified when you conquer it.

You must make your decision on which nation to be by the (none, small, medium, big) description of the military strength of the nation listed below. This corresponds with the amount of that type of military units the nation has. Only when you choose it will I PM you your nation’s units and positions. Note: All nations start with a small airforce.

NOTE: pay no attention to the small dotted features in some of the territories, it came with the map and is very hard to get rid of! Lol.

When sending in orders and referring to provinces, you must refer to them from the three letters underlined near the province. If there are only three letters for the province, then those are the ones you use.

That is all I can think of for the minute, bring on the questions! Lol. Turn 1 will start when I announce it.

Production centers can be built for however much the province is worth multiplied by 10. You capital and production centers produce double of what the province is worth each turn. Usually is not a good option for high value provinces ;) Can also lower costs of future constructions. Also, if military base is present, can –1c from a unit’s cost to build it.

Military bases are what you can build to make it so that you can build units from that province. This is only useful to build if you are on another land mass disconnected from your capital. Counts as a docks for coastal cities to make naval units. Costs 25c, but only 15c if production center is in the same province.

Factories produce +2cpt for the territory it is in. There is no limit to the amount of factories each province can have. Costs 30c, or 25c with a production center.

Airbases allow you to land and build aircraft. You CAN NOT build aircraft from your capital, as your capital only has a military base in it. Costs 25c to build, 23c with a production center.

I would play as Italy except in this Italy has been over run by the dang French.
 
i'll take argentina.

i dont realy like the concept of predefined borders, but i guess will have to get used to it. :)
 
Good, here comes President Scotterson from the grave;), i just hope i can complete his noble vision from RTORNES.
 
I'll be Germany.
 
Britain for me lol.

ok, great! A good group of people! I just saw the map and how it looks like, and the qualitly is terrible! I think I might upload the .bmp I use in a zip so that you guys can use it for orders to see the three letters. Tell me what you think. Also, to wait for more people to join if they want, update will be tonight, probably around 8-10pm PST. If no more people join thats ok too. If there is a big nuetral nation, then I will keep it in check until it gets a player (mins you, I do not mean a small nation like china or Japan). So begin sending in orders now!

oh.

Well, you see, the thing about upping the defense of the battleship is that it would become too good. It would almost become a super machine (remember, the rating go: terrible, good, mediocre, great, terrific). right now, the BB has the highest attack value, therfore it must have some attribute somewhat penalized, even though mediocre defense is still a very fine attribute.

-Jason
 
So if i get it right, i make 80gpt?

And is that how much i start with?

And the BB thing makes sence now, it would make it good to group with destroyer like in reality...
 
Also, to wait for more people to join if they want, update will be tonight, probably around 8-10pm PST

update already? i dont even know what my finances/units are.!!!
did you send me a pm? cause i aint gotten one.
 
Hey,we're just very good engineers. :D
 
roddy, you are right! Im getting a little ahead of myself! lol. PMs are sent now, and ipdate will be tomorrow night.

As for the black sea thing..............Kennelly, do you want to switch to another nation, or do you mind having one less? We could also say that many man-made islands were built, and that it now supports naval and land units. This will make it so to be a very valuable province! Its your decision, Kennelly.

Also, all your starting units are in your capital, in which it can be dispersed throughout your nation to your liking in your 1st orders (remember, units move indefinetly throughout your nation, but can only attack once a turn).

.:KNAS:., you have at least 75cpt (remember, some provinces are worth more then others).

In a the PM I send everyone, I will tell you your cpt
 
started doing my orders, came up with some more questions:

are those white provinces at the south pole neutral?? are they worth anything?
"Also, if military base is present, can –1c from a unit’s cost to build it. " does that mean stuff i build in my capitol costs 1 less to build? meaning i could build tanks for 9 and mech inf for 4 and inf for 2?

will do orders tomorow morining

good night
