Excellent. I look forward to wreaking havoc as a non-Enerjak!

Just... never ask for a battle sim v. the Hetmanate. I have tanks for Ukraine; I don't have tanks for furries.

Actually, this brings up a question: what's the "dominant" flavour I should use for the Sombrists? I can use any vehicle on any side since it's the manning soldiers who determine ownership (thus China and the EF could fight each other with the same tanks); since the Marians spanned three continents, I can pull from South America, Italy or Africa. Other players are fairly clearly culturally defined, but I'd say the Marians were half-and-half.

Would it be update every 2 days, every week, or whenever you can get it?

I could do anything 3ish days or more per update. Any more than that and I might not be able to catch up. :lol:

Thorvald of Lym · May 24, 2011

Whenever I have the time, really. I try to strike a balance between giving time to play and keeping up the progress. In IOT4, whenever I sensed a lull in the activity I'd start tallying up the orders... at least, until a HUNDRED PAGES IN ONE NIGHT.

I'd like to boast an update-a-day, but I expect it'll probably be about 2-3 days each.

It's a tough question. While the state had its roots in Italy, that's a wasteland. The new capital is in the Congo, but the rampant Kaetif/furryness is the result of the Neo Incans.

So, it can go either way really. But since Sombra's racist - and his name is Spanish too - I suppose using South American-flavored troops makes the most sense.

Alright. Put me on the confirmed list. :mischief:

Well those really can't happen in the IOT I am running. You can say you have 20 billion men in your province, but the effective strength will still only be 1 army, if you have only built 1. As to special powers, the only one I have is espionage, and you have to buy that as well.

Stats were originally introduced to stop powergaming.

My first question is, are players bothered by tweaks-on-the-fly, or would you prefer I describe the rules in as brutally through detail as possible in the OP?

I'm absolutely fine with rule changes during the game.

[idea about defence] Add it?

To be honest I'm not sure I understand it, but okay.

I'm curious as to whether IOT6 vets would like to adopt the XP/AP trading from that game.

No.

Update once every two-three days is the best pace IMHO.

Thorvald, I'm currently interested in entering as someone other than Oceania, due to it being quite boring and small on a map.

Here's the NPC Master List. As it turns out, Mysore actually belongs to Macedonia.

Red_Spy · May 25, 2011

I can not tell, does someone have Cuba?

Thorvald of Lym · May 25, 2011

Most is owned by the NCSA; the southern quarter is part of the Caribbean Commonwealth.

Red_Spy · May 25, 2011

Ok, thank you.

NedimNapoleon · May 25, 2011

lol Brcko District, I must conquer it!

Thorvald of Lym · May 26, 2011

Final proposition before I look to package this all together: what auxiliary threads do we want?

I'm moving the UN to a user group so we can easily organize the different departments (border disputes, trusteeships, resolutions, etc.). Do we want a Battle Thread and Claims Thread, just a Battle Thread, or IOT6's ingenious Orders Thread?

NedimNapoleon · May 26, 2011

I would prefer just a battle thread

Red_Spy · May 26, 2011

Ok, I think we can take over NPCs, and I will take over the Carribean Commonwealth.

hoplitejoe · May 26, 2011

If we can take over NPCs I would like to take over Sri Lanka please.

DroopyTofu · May 26, 2011

Just a warning, but I was planning on invading the Carribean Commonwealth in the first few turns. They violated my soveriegn claim to the island of Cuba and must perish.

If it helps you out any, Thor, here's a summary of my nation.
New Confederate States of America (NCSA) - DroopyTofu
*Controls part of Spain, Argentina, Uraguay, Cuba, and Mexico
Government: Democratic Confederacy
Economy: Some industry with heavy agriculture in some regions. Large divide between rich and poor
Social policy: Largely conservative with small liberal holdouts in larger cities.
Kaetif attitude: Mistrusting. The government doesn't encourage discrimination, however they turn a blind eye to it.
Foreign relations: Looking for friends.

Military: Good for self-defense, but never used for much else. Yet.
Contamination: Fairly Heavy
