Depends, it was a referendum right? If it was yes then.

Yes, it was a referendum.

Anyway, i will play as the Republic of China and i will crush both the warlords and the Commies.

So would you say this is more of a political sim than a TBS?

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Well yes, it is turn based, its sort of a mix, simple TBS gameplay with in depth politics.

EDIT: @Tailless, I've fixed the map and I'll upload it later.

Dude... Sign me up. Now.

I couldn't find any good maps from 1923 so I had to check every nation or use my memory. True dat I forgot the Irish, I know my mistake in Colombia/Peru, South Africa didn't own Lesotho and Swaziland, Honduras owns the north of Nicaragua (and it was occupied by the US), I just dont know the mistake in Siam. I'll fix it.

There's a bit of Northern Thailand that should be part of Laos, as per this map.

Also, I think South Africa needs to own more of Transvaal, as well (pretty much the same borders as current ones).

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Oh okay, also is this map of South America correct, because the straight borders look weird.

Spoiler :

 

[Tee Kay]

It looks okay... border issues only come up at two locations: the Ecuador-Peru-Colombia border and the Bolivia-Paraguay border (leading to the Peru-Ecuador War and the Gran Chaco War, respectively).

 

[Ailedhoo]

May I take the chance to reserve for IOT X?

 

[Tee Kay]

Can we not wait until the sign-up thread is up?

Good luck, and Godspeed.

 

[Tee Kay]

Oh yeah, the IOTIII aliens. That was me, I think.

By the way, the break between the 2nd and 3rd generation was the creation of this thread.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Updated map, fixed everything Tailless said, added Cliques (warlords) and Hejaz.

I find the coincidence amusing that IOT:Chiron will be operating on similar principles to IOT Apocalypse Now and that they were separately developed by different people...


I'm going to be announcing an interesting new Idea that I will be implementing in IOT: Chrion. For those of you whom have followed the development you'll know that you don't play as nations but characters within a nation. And to develop and flesh out these characters there will be a pre-game section based around the Journey story that was released alongside the buildup to SMAC. Here the player characters will be able to interact and deal with the problems faced by Unity's crew and ultimately decide which pod to land in.
And yes, Player characters will have the option of playing as Spartans.

Sign Ups hopefully tomorrow.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Do you have a finished map?

 

[Robert Can't]

I believe I posted it in the map thread.
