stAMNES: Never Ending Story

Ok, this is the first nes I will be making in this style here in CFC. It will be based apon 444nes2 and RTOR aswell as many other old games in terms of style, updates, and the gameplay. This nes by all means will not be a copy or "try to be like" RTOR2 nes.

There will not be a special standard for updates and all that. There will be random event posts and map updates every day or two, so if there is no update, you can still continue. Stats will be updated however every day hopefully, so you cannot repost your orders for stats until I have said that the stats are updated. Therefore, this will not run on an update system set on stone, it will flow, and not be soo strict, but it will be organized.

I intentionally made this nes with very simple old, the good way like it was rules. This nes is more about stories, though you will not be penalized if you dont write. There is no pressure in this nes either. Just sit back, play and have fun, I began this nes just for those reasons. Hopefully in the end, this will become a good story together.

Anyways, read the guidlines below and join if you are interested.

Miniscule
Tiny
Very Small
Medium

Bad

Very Well

ECONOMY
Will be like a regular economy system.
Levels:
Depression
Recession
Failing
Stable
Growing
Prosperous
Outstanding

EDUCATION (thx to China444 for this)
Will be measured in levels, but for each education level there is a different tech group to study. The techs will evolve with the ages.
EDUCATION(stone age)
Horrendous- Basic stuff such as fire, wheel, food
Poor- little more advanced, weapons, communications
Mediocre- Horseback riding, building
Good- Business
Great- New religions
SUPERB-Need to research new age.

WONDERS
Specify what they are and what the benifits are, and ill determine the length.

EXPANDING ON THE MAP
Is auto, but is good if you show where to expand.

BARBARIANS
Will be shown as dark grey on the map.

AGES
Current Age: stone age

Ages:
Stone Age(current)
Copper Age
Bronze Age
Iron Age
Classical Age
Dark Age
Colonial Age
Imperial Age
Industrial Age
Pre Modern Age
Modern Age

Religions and Government: Made up by you on the template. No monarchy, republic, democracy or communism yet. You can do a 'rough monarchy' so to speak, thoush.

-Economy takes 1 turn to upgrade, you cannot upgrade anything else during this turn (for now)

-Military costs 1 economy to upgrade (will be cheaper as time progresses)

-Education costs 1 economy to upgrade.

-Training costs 1 economy to upgrade.

-Upgrading army to new age costs 2 economy and brings training down to minimum, if no training, then army level is dropped.

Trade: Ok, this is what all of you have been waiting for! Anyways, I will make this so simple, its simple. I may add some spice to this soon, but not now. Easy, it costs 2 economy to begin a trade route and you gain 1 economy every 3 turns. Max 3 routes until I think your nation can handle more.

"*": When your nation recieves this azterik, that means that your army is modern. If you dont have it, that means you need to spend 1 economies to upgrade your army to the current age, for every age you skip. So in this case, to upgrade to Bronze, you will need to pay 2 economy, or else you are still running around with stone clubs.

REMEMBER, THESE RULES ARE GUIDLINES. IN YOUR ORDERS YOU ARE TO SPECIFY WHAT YOU WILL DO WITH THESE STATS AND I WILL UPDATE THEM.

MANY Questions

Are there seperate army and navy stats, or just one combined for both of them? What about training?

Is there some kind of eqivalent to an army level in men that I can use for planning purposes?

In this NES, do we have to gain communications with each other, or can we all talk to each other from the beginning? If I understand correctly, we need education level Poor to talk to each other, right?

1) As you see in stats is seperated
2) Hmmm you can say Large in 5 miniscule or 4 tiny or whatever...
3) need to wait for contact, dont worry it won't come slowly this time

Huh? I'm not sure you understood me correctly. I wanted the equivalent of a military level in people/ships...
