Background for the Nations of ABNW3

[Crezth]

Diplomacy is also quite buggy in these games. All of the options whether they be increase relations or open discussion seem to declare war.

The latest version updates may fix that of course.

Plus the AI is super aggressive. I barely played 3 turns in ABNW 2 without getting attacked by everyone! Ridiculous.

I apologize, but Canada and Quebec are hardcoded to endlessly attempt to genocide each other, regardless of potential entanglements such as alliance systems.

Welcome! I too started on an EQ NES. A few things before you boot up ABNW 3 for the first time though:

• make sure you patch to the LATEST version, EQ never lets you into the lobby unless you do, EVEN if the latest patch is a pointless 200 MB of GUI updates.
• unlike old EQ NES v1, there are serious penalties for overexpansion in this game and diplomacy is really bad
• tanks are underpowered, infantry is overpowered
• if you start in america, prepare to get facerolled by whoever builds the biggest army
• the LAN is broken so make sure you can connect over TCP/IP
• John Romero, the original designer of EQ NES, is the actual final boss: not the French Imperium.
• unfortunately EQ fixed the bugged hammer cost of all units so now military is WAY overexpensive.

Just keep these in mind and you'll be fine.*

* I'm totally joking...

What? I really liked that advice and will keep it in mind. Thank you for both welcomes!

• communist nations are un-ing-balanced in these games, you should never really play them if you don't want to lose.

• remember you can boot up the cheatscreen if you PM EQ and tell him he's handsome

@ZeletDude: blame Justo. He's the one who gave me the lsit of reservations and so forth while I was at work. It's always his fault.

And we would've won that too, had the internal micromanagement AI not been buggy enough to ignore the landing party a few miles away from your capital.

 

[Adrogans]

Wouldn't reccomend it but okay...

I'd appreciate if all non-background discussions moved to the new preview thread.
