IOT Organisational and Discussion Thread

ChristosIOT is Sci-Fi. Or something like that.

 

[Tyo]

I was planning a scifi game but mass effect and school got in the way of things.

 

[CivOasis]

Most IOTs are sci-fi, to be honest. It's just not like that at the moment.

 

[Tyo]

I wouldn't say most.

 

[Double A]

We discussed this before. Sci-fi is not modern. You need at least some kind of non-gunpowder gun, space travel, or hot alien chicks. Preferably all at once.

 

[Sonereal]

Given kinetic weapons are the way things are going to be for the next several decades, that it is unlikely we'll ever meet aliens, and space travel at slower-than-light (realistic) speeds make it ungainly for IOT, your definition of what constitutes sci-fi is rather limited.

 

[Tyo]

But most IOT that feature sci-fi elements are actually several decades to a century or two in the future.

 

[Double A]

When did I say sci-fi had to be realistic?

 

[CivOasis]

But most IOT that feature sci-fi elements are actually several decades to a century or two in the future.

Most IOTs are either set then or feature some... Interesting... WMDs.

 

[Robert Can't]

Just been listening to JWWotW again...

Gosh I love that musical so much.

Spirit of Man was Sci-fi in the most classic sense of Sci-fi. Classic.

 

[JohannaK]

Classic sounds cool!

rectangles are't squares. Some IOTs are set in the future, but aren't at all sci-fi.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Stickied by request.

 

[Sonereal]

Being set in the future=sci-fi. The same way alternate history is also sci-fi.

 

[Osmowstroyer]

It would be very nice if someone manage to start a Dune IOT, I can't because of studies!

The map for an upcoming IOT (Shattered Europe)

Spoiler :

It will be similar in design to Iron & Blood 2 where roleplaying, warplans, etc will be important to success in war and economically, and using the same I&B2 format of vague army strength - broken down into Army Quality and Army Quantity.

The map was based off an EU3 multiplayer game that ended in 1650 or so, with this happening 300 odd years later in 1910. The Kalmar Union/Denmark, Germany, and Poland/Jagiellon are reserved nations because of this. Austria is reserved because Sonereal has been an enormous help with the rules and map that I already have.

I will post the backstory once it's completed.

There is no set date for when this will be released.

Great Powers are, in order of strongest to weakest:
Germany - Judea protectorate
Poland - Polish Congo, Swahili, South Africa protectorates
Kalmar Union
Hindustan
Austria
Omani Caliphate - Egyptian protectorate
Andalusia
Megapur/Manipur
Amerika



EDIT - Tyo is kredit to team

 

[Double A]

If I murder RS, can I be Poland?

 

[hoplitejoe]

I should be more powerful than Poland!

 

[christos200]

I want to be Hindustan.
