When be orders due?
After 1919 - NES
- Thread starter Kal'thzar
- Start date
I have received the wonderfully large amount of 4 orders.
NES Closed.
On the other hand i would like some feed back.
My thoughts
I disagreed with Silver on how to conduct a "proper" insurgency campaign. And by and large, conventional forum thought on it (as far as i can see).
I found it hard to do ALL the orders in their entrity i usually left out one or two things, wether this be the fault of the rules or the size of the conflicts i do not know. It might be better for instance to turn WWII battle orders into basically attack poland, and have ME write up a story based on combined leadership and training ability. Along with amount of men.
Das took full advantage of all the tools at his disposal, i.e. Intel. I don't know many other people who regularly sent me a list of about 7 Intel operations.
I was unsure how to play NPC's, especially the important ones.
Would anyone mind if i started a Fresh start

Personally, i believe the huge amounts of "unrealistic" things coming to be was a major turn off. Saudi Arabia invading the rest of Arabia for example, toteone's kirki spire, toteone's britain and etc.

Damn. I feel bad now cuz I promised stories and didn't deliver.
But about your notes...

I know nothing about this. Next...
True, simpler for you cuz you don't have to read, then, hugely-detailed lists of battle tactics. However, I strongly disagree with this because a NESer should be allowed to make innovative campaign strategies to achieve his/her goals. I mean conjuring up new schemes to conquer that neighboring country is part of the fun. Plus it gets people to actually use their heads instead of just saying "attack them" and just letting it go like that.

Well, duh! Was I supposed to let those capitalists off easy and have them fight just the external enemies?!

Yes. And here is the eventual result:

Or maybe:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four
Your choice!

Das I demand that you find a text of Noon Universe for me!!!!
Now to the points:
Kal'thzar I think you made a very good attempt at your first NES. I will only concentrate on the bad points, because thats whats important for future:
- Kiwi or Kiri...... sure some individualism and invention is welcomed, but not in a historical NES. IMO this nation (sorry Toteone
) just took your time, while not making a huge impact on the world. You were nice enough to let Toteone have this nation, but realised that they better be kept low-strengh...... it is very comendable, but mods should be tougher.
- Not all or practically none majour nations were taken. I'm trying to achieve that in my new NES now. Despite what the players want majour nations should be taken for there to be an interesting game. If not you get stuck with small orgs like White Alliance (yes das I hoped I could use them against you) who are of course very nice, but not very powerfull....
- Stats should be minimal: who the hell cares what the capital is, when 1) it is shown on the map 2) you have to change this stat every time the capital is taken....for 100 of nations?!! Things like "ruler" "culture" - cut them down. Don't get burried.
- I need to learn this lesson myself: "do not try and do people's orders 100% to the bone". You are a mod, not a type writer. This is hard to do, but you are the master of the game. Never forget that
Everything else was good. People were enjoying the game, the updates produced were good and we got some nice stories going.....
Oh one last thing: there should be only 1 NES of the same time period on the boards. Otherwise players would travel back and fourth and both NESes loose.

thank you gelion very nice and constructive.
still any ideas for another nes?
We seem to have a lot going on so i thought i might just leave it for now.
Unless das does that storyline i mentioned (unenlightenment so to speak)
EDIT: noon's a bit utopian for me
You get the 1984 prize :>

Hmm? That's a setting, you know. There's a lot of books there.
Try this, though I suspect you already have read it

When I find the time...
I'll regard that as a compliment.
Btw, Gelion, did you send the assassins to poison Stalin back then? Because that, according to my plans, was supposed to cause a lot of problems for the world - namely because Trotsky was about to come to power. I planned that anyway, but Stalin was supposed to kill him with an ice-breaker if/when Trotsky's bid for world domination fails (or seems to fail if I am winning) and then to restore the Russian Empire. However, without Stalin, world was doomed to either experience the mother of all wars, either that plus Trotsky in charge.

lol well I did kill Stain. I tried to kill Trotsky, but apparently my 5 assasins turned into 5 divisions according to Kal'thzar and were unsuccessfulll
The plan after I returned was as follows:
1. Create a wave of nationalism (fascism) and anti-bolshevism.
2. Keep the parts of Russia not taken by you (Far East)
3. Arm anti-USSR nations and start a big war that will destroy your way of life
4. Come to Russia with a huge army of people from Newfoundland and free it
Far East was to be my base..... for some time.... also I planned a psychological warfare, but that sort of never happened....

They probably got minor penguin reinforcements.
Well, that wasn't working. Albeit my attacks in Manchuria weren't as succesful as I have planned, the Japanese were badly overstretched, so I would've simply taken over Primorye and forced Japan out of the war.
Ironically, I was about to start a big war that will destroy YOUR way of life.
Newfoundland was the main problem here. Firstly, what will you do with the British people already there? Secondly, how were you supposed to supply a "huge army of people" there? Not enough infrastructure, really.
You should've sticked to Uruguay.
Well, we all know how well that works in totalitarian society.
Face it - you were doomed from the start. Just read Marx, he gave you a fair warning long ago.

Or without a deathstar. The lines "White Army, Black Baron" sound very familiar...
The TRUE nature of the White Guard!
