Because the size of the provinces and geography aren't uniform?

Stop saying nay you...naysayer...

Secondly, I would suggest an improvement on the NGO system. Namely, get rid of income from bases and make income dependent on donations, using rebel forces to collect taxes from surrounding areas (undercutting the government), or using agents/espionage to raise funds illicitly in a country (undercutting trade).

Hmm. Digging this idea. I'll use it for MP4 I think.

I'm still undecided on whether trade tech will be in, but it's such a minor addition I don't think it'll matter.

That is one perk to getting rid of provinces. Nukes actually have a number of pixels uniformly.

However, IMO, getting rid of provinces is a bad idea regardless.

@Ailedhoo

There is a huge difference between being a NPCGM and real GM that being just a NPCGM won't really prepare you for your first real IOT anyway.

Why yes there is a difference. But I need a taster.

Also: Tani promised me that I will be the NPC GM for MP4. Anyway I would like to play out the NPCs. I have made great plans for what would be the NPCs in the game and can change it if the era is changed. I and Tani are still considering the power I will hold. Tani as GM will have final say of my actions but that he will respect the actions of the 5 most major NPCs that I will be caretaking. I ensure you that with me as a GMNPC we will have so much fun.

Missing spots in such a great game makes Joan Sean a sad pony.

 

[Robert Can't]

Woona is also a sad pony

And Fluttershy is crying - just like when MIOT ended.

Today is my birthday so its you who should give me presents, but I'll make an exception with mech.

That's my OC.

We already made you a thread.

I would get rid of it. Improvement in trade should be through everyone improving their economy.

Geography isn't uniform.

 

[Tyo]

non-provincial map that takes geography into account is one of the things I've been thinking of for a future IOT.

I'll be drawing the borders and such so people don't have to worry about drawing ******** countries. But such a game is in the far, far future.

Well, trade tech more or less has represented the efficiency of one's trading apparatus. In MP3 it represented the merchant marine of the country in question. A larger marine transports more of the global goods and collects a higher fee to pass onto its home nation.

That was my idea anyway.

To hell with realism.

So long as it has a nice shape I'm fine with it.

Then wouldn't it make more sense to have naval power figure into trade instead of a separate tech?

Actually that was the idea behind MP3; large trade fleets with no navy to match often ended up being raided.

Naval power has always indirectly figured into trade in that a large navy has a better chance of blockading a small navy state than vice versa.

Well, they did, until the Pirates transformed into Mercenaries. Funnily enough, I don't think that they are getting much money out of that...

 

[Mosher]

They turned into mercenaries because of me

You're in for a nasty surprise, ironically enough.
