Imperium OffTopicum XIV

OOC: note that GEAR and all three of it's components all all mentioned in the stats. Not sure how the focus thing works, and since it was agreed that I will take care of internal stuff while Bair does external stuff, I guess that the focus is my job. And I've stated it for GEAR already, and I really don't see how could ti be taken separately for each component of GEAR.

 

[Robert Can't]

Oh that really sucks for me, I'm not going to harp on you to change it, but I do want to say, with that it will take me 7 turns to get the land that I wanted from the update, I must ask, how did you decide that I didn't get all the land.

As I said the power of the nation locus increases the longer it is your national focus so I will undoubtedly take less time. As for the second point its because the colonisation of India was particularly hard, the land being near uninhabitable for the humans. There were many unexpected difficulties.

And why would I try to expand it anymore, when everything else is obviously better, it just kinda bums me out, because if I try to take all the land I wanted from the update, i will get grossly behind everyone else, but if I don't I don't get everything I wanted.

I don't this that saying you will be grossly behind is entierly correct as the National Focus points aren't meant to be that powerful. Its also worth mentioning that colonialism has always been a time and resource consuming affair hence why it does represent a drain on resources that could be placed elsewhere.

Just a suggestion, perhaps if we could allocate percentages to the national focus areas, because in my opinion it doesn't really make seance that our nations can only focus on one thing at at a time, and the percentage determines how effective they are.

I would but that'd make things a lot harder for me and really I want to keep the game simple, Previously you could only expand, now you can do other stuff so options have already vastly increased.

The national focus is no so much spending but more sort of representative of the government and people's will. All stats will continue to be affected normally through RP and the like. The National Focus is just there to give more definite directions.

One more question, regarding Oceania and Ed, considering he is my puppet right now, does he get his own focus, also how does it work for Union nations like GEAR, PAU, and the UAR, because if they get 2 because they have 2 people controling the nation, it seems kinda over powered, even more so than before.

Ed gets no focus, PAU gets 1 focus, Gear gets 1 focus. In short each independent nation gets 1 focus.

Just voicing my concerns and questions.

Also you forgot one island in the middle of the Indian ocean. Its the one around the "British Indian Ocean territory" Just wanted to say.

Will fix

the W.A.C have a resolution for the creation of the United Nations Educational Agency for the purpose of improving educational standards.

As mentioned earlier. Foreign aid can be given in the form of using your national focus on another nation.

 

[Red_Spy]

Just sayin' out of nearly 100 000 personnel in that mission, virtually none of whom were Laotian, the UAR made up about half and wouldn't have compromised on the mission mandate. Don't get me wrong, I totally sympathize with Red and the way christos cut him off, but given how much half the players put into that debacle this is still pretty Tani-esque.

While the Laotian Army was not part of the UNFIVOR, once you gave me control of UNFIVOR I was basically using my army to put Vietnam under military occupation. So while the UNFIVOR troops weren't Laotian, the troops in the Laotian Army were.

The Exiled Dictatorship hereby consigns itself to protectorate status under the benevolent PAU leaders, and we do swear our fealty to them in return for protection and economic aid. As such we simultaneously apply for semi statehood under the PAU.

Orders for the ED may be sent by the PAU in the interest of a leap of good faith. We trust that under their leadership, our country will see true prosperity and glory.

Thanks for the clarification, I understand the situation better now

Yeeeeah, uh, that'd start a fight.

The Pan-American Union accepts all who are dedicated to the notion of peace, prosperity, and human progress into the loving bosom of our nation. Though your lands exist across the Atlantic, we welcome you into the folds of liberty, security, and democracy!

 

[KaiserElectric]

Germany would like to remind the Exiled Dictatorship that they are potentially aligning themselves against the German Empire and urges them to consider political realism over ideological demagoguery.

Realistically, the Pan-Atlantic Union has more to offer than Hungary.

 

[KaiserElectric]

Is the repeated misnaming of our nation supposed to be Texarcana's way of taunting us? Because you're only succeeding in making yourself look even more childish and immature.

Also, Hungary? Is that really the best you could come up with?

 

[Sonereal]

1. There is no Texarkana.

2. If Hungary is the best you can be, then that is the best I can come up with.

 

[Robert Can't]

If it wasn't for the fact that I don't want a fight I'd be like:

Yeeeeah, uh, that'd start a fight.

Fight fight fight fight

Realistically, the Pan-Atlantic Union has more to offer than Hungary.

Fight fight fight

 

[KaiserElectric]

2. If Hungary is the best you can be, then that is the best I can come up with.

Pathetic. If you're going to resort to childish taunting, at least make it worth my time.

 

[Sonereal]

To be fair, it has to be worth your time, or you wouldn't keep sending your diplomats back for more.

Is there something going on that I don't know about?

 

[christos200]

Cived quits most IOTs he is in.

 

[Civ'ed]

Severe stress, bad day, and honestly a very childish attitude towards someone starting right where my orders said I'd claimed, after I entered said orders.

Won't be quitting XIV though...
Until maybe Sone or someone shows up, claims all of Africa and says it was America all along.
Which is now going to happen.
Damnit. :/
