I know, my combat system had a 40% focus on luck. Not 100% let everyone else's.

When its RNG+modifiers, its not completely luck.

Yes. Amphibious landings, the chemical weapon line of weapons, the atomic bomb, and blockades. Plus, since I use armies, that means that the person with the largest force has the possibility to attack already attacked armies of the enemy twice.
There are others but I can't think of them right now.

You certainly did. Maybe I should've bolded all the changes I made from IOT6? There were armies and navies. LPs were used to buy them, fund WMD programs, and espionage stuff. And since each territory=1 LP, larger nations have a significant advantage while smaller nations can get by with selling XP for way above 1:1 deals.

Some...interesting things have happened needless to say. Japan broke up into three nations and NPCs don't have XP so there's a 1-province Chinese Warlord, three-province Isolationist Japan, and....super powered Pirates.
Seriously. Your Canadian province went from simply being pirates to becoming annexing demons hellbent on taking all of California. By 1962, I'm pretty sure they're going to be landing pirates to take Honolulu.

My game is not completely RNG based, you get a map and draw and write your own story, the one with the best story wins

I've been planning and scheming up an IOT based on IOT6 and Empire Total War - it's primarily naval-oriented but tries to keep it simple wherever possible. Does anyone have any interest?

Depends. I don't like leader traits much these days but a period piece would be a nice break.
ETW? Will your IOT be buggy as a swamp?

Well I decided that I'd remove most of my traits idea and downgrade to (basically) a land combat booster, a naval combat booster and an industrial booster. Territories are much larger and I'm still working out claiming - I think I'll make it that you have to fight the natives if you want to claim "peacefully" or buy them off for a lot of money. There's a simple infrastructure mechanic that I'll keep track of and several victory conditions I'm working on. I've included a rather fun naval battle system and the ability to custom-build fleets without a whole lot of micro. Like I said, heavily naval-focused.
I can start thinking about putting it up once I shut down one of the RPs.

So who can I count as in when my new IOT goes up in a few days?

I don't think you can count on me. Apologies. I simply don't know how much internet access I'll have from Feb. 4 to Mar 2. I will definitely not have it from Friday Night-Sunday, but I will probably have SOME access (No guarantees of how much) to the net on the other days. So I won't be joining until I find out. After that, I MAY be able to play then, but there's a decent chance I won't be able to join anything new until March 2nd (Chances are I'll have enough trouble maintaining what I have, but I'm not sure.)
Nothing personal of course. I will still join if I have time

Anyone mind if I use the Imperium Off Topicum label? I could make this sorta and "official" IOT if people want to do that, but I don't care that much.

I frankly don't think ANYONE would care, unless you officially marketed it as IOT VII, in which case some people might take issue since VI is still alive (I personally wouldn't care though.)
