Imperium Offtopicum

[DroopyTofu]

You don't have to spread you forces too thin in my land. I can largely take care of myself, especially in peace time.

I'm getting off the computer for the night, so if you all ever get all this worked out and start playing, I'll let my allies use part of my military if they need it.

 

[Mathalamus]

i just know that when war starts im the first to fall, so i spread out my forces somewhat so my nation wouldn't be totally defeated in Europe.

 

[Tani Coyote]

I'm still not quite sure how the combat system works, and why is everybody ganging up on me? Is there no voice of reason?

Here you are. It's a bit crude, but we can refine it later to include such things as technology, numbers, quality, etc.

Can we also set up how we are going to go about making our moves? Half the time it seems like someone sets something up and walks away, only for a million other things to happen while he's gone, making his move irrelevant.

We should probably set up turns, based on the order players posted. Meaning, I'd go first, then whoever came after me, etc.

You've got a deal.

Can I enter an alliance with TLO and Mathalamos without them being in Omega's and my war with Maryland? Is that allowed?

Yes. There will be several types of alliances, just like in reality, and it is up to the members to specify them. The ideas of alliances I have are:

First, let me define unilateral vs. multilateral - Unilateral means you're not connected across a certain ally you share, i.e. France and Britain are allied, while Britain is allied with Germany, but France is not allied with Germany.

Next, you have full pacts vs. defensive pacts - Defensive pacts ONLY activate if a person participating in them is attacked. If the alliance member attacks, the other alliance members will not come to their aid. On the other hand, full pacts cover both attacks and defense.

Akin to Civ 3, we also will have war pacts, like the military alliance system, where you recruit an ally just for a specific conflict.

Do you want to join my alliance Tanicius? I did give you Ireland after all.

 

[sophie]

Can we get a map update please?

Also, my neutrality defensive pact is still out there for anyone wanting to remain neutral.

 

[Mad Man]

I want to stay neutral but everybody seems to be Gaddafing me.

I'll meet you halfway. We might not be able to help you with Maryland proper(given how small it is compared to the enemy hordes), but we will support and defend all of Maryland's overseas territories with our first-class navy!

Can we get a map update please?

Also, my neutrality defensive pact is still out there for anyone wanting to remain neutral.

Mhmm, soon. I'm adding the Thirteen States and such as I speak.

Edit: What color would you like?

Once again, I'm late to the game! Anyways, I'm glad about these new rules. Now time for me to add my country!


Country: The Israeli Republic, it includes Israel, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Gaza, Jordan, and Egypt.

Color: Light blue

Army: Small, but strong. Everyman is put to the test and come out the most well-trained men in the world. They are trained in counter-terrorism and conventional warfare. The small number of them is because of the rigorous training, not many people see through to the end. But the one who do, they are truly the best soldiers in the world.
Size: 2.5 million men.

Air Force: Pretty much the same as above, small in size but extremely strong/advanced.

Navy: Same as above, small in size, but extremely tough.

Capital: Jerusalem. This is chosen as it has always been historically the capitol of Israel, plus it's very central.

Economic Status: First World, as modern as it gets. Besides the minor profits in oil to be had, we have a booming Hi-Tech industry, which provides the world with most of the stuff needed for computers (microchips and such).

Economic Style: Capitalism

Political Setup: Parliamentary Democracy

Social Policy: Very Liberal, very socialist

Foreign Policy: We'll do anything to help our survival. We'll join any alliance that can promise that I won't be wiped off the face of the earth.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Welcome to thread, Joecoolyo! Hopefully my rules will be like the Constitution unto the Articles of Confederation... bringing order and stability to anarchy and chaos(seriously, what the HELL was up with the Poles invading MECCA, and then the Turks NUKING it?! )!

First post updated; I'll change Owen's color when he gives it to me. I didn't see him choose a color.

Terribly sorry, old chap! I'll take navy blue, and if that's taken, orange. And if that's taken, I suppose any other variant of blue is fine.

As to the map, I'm much obliged that you put it up there, although that island off the coast I did claim (see my post). I'm also very tempted to take a bit of Alaska.

 

[choxorn]

Alright, fine, TLO, you can have Indonesia and the Solomon Islands, but I get Malaysia, Brunei, and the Phillipines.

And yeah, we need rules to stop a million things from happening while half the people are asleep. How about you can only do a certain limited amount of action in a limited amount of time?

That would work. Everyone turns their proposed actions in for the day, they all happen simultaneously. If you don't issue orders for the day, it's considered you doing nothing. (Sort of like diplomacy, actually )
