Multipolarity Rearmed

[Omega124]

- Market Slump: Negates natural industrial growth that turn and eliminates up to 10% of existing infrastructure. Has a chance of spreading to other users of the victim country's currency.

- Famine: Negates natural population growth that turn and kills up to 5% of citizens. Effect reduced for Agricultural nations.

Am I the only one who sees the double standard here? Not only is the slump worse than the famine, but having the benificary trait (Industrious) does not help against the former while the latter (Agricultural) does.

I was modelling it on every bonus having a relatively equal bust, and I really don't want to invite huge population changes. You're partially right, though, in that Tani limited the bust at 5%, even though the boom was 10. Originally I'd included a Depression as the -10%, but I'm not settled on how that would be implemented given my unusual timescale.

 

[Verarde]

I updated my post with a heckuva lotta information.

Also, Brasilia is located in my southern most province.

 

[SamSniped]

London is where it is IRL

 

[Double A]

Industrial is already powerful but expansionist is kind of meh.

 

[Tani Coyote]

My capital is Beijing if that wasn't apparent. Or whatever the province in the center of my empire is. We must expand outward in each direction to protect the Divine Ruby!

There are a LOT of dangling logistical threads I have to sort out, and I'll be asking for your input later, but here you have it; the first update.

Report tables are subject to change as I try to figure out the best way to present everything. NPC currencies are largely for a lark until the rest of you decide on your coinage.

Note that Net Income is your projected revenue for turn's end; Treasury is the cash you have to spend this turn. You can spend more than you have, and so long as the difference is made up by your income you shouldn't run into problems (so, most players can spend up to 104 "safely"). Also bear in mind that income is rounded DOWN to the nearest whole number (6 instead of 7 for most of you).

Also, once again, I STRONGLY encourage players with accounts on Tani's forum to submit their orders there. At 35 players, I CANNOT handle that many PMs on CFC.

I think that's all the crucial bits for now. NPCs will receive unique colours next update. If I'm lucky, I'll get around to reposting all this to Tani's forum some time before tomorrow.

 

[Double A]

After looking at the NPC stats, I'm gonna change my currency to phallic symbols.

 

[NinjaCow64]

* Spanish Music *

*In a Spainish accent* For minutes, the formatting crew have tried to decide whether to post roleplaying in the thread, or whether to do roleplay about random crap and send the orders in secret.

MOAR ROLEPLAY!!!

I am not reading this garbage.

READ IT OR YOU WON'T GET AN ACCOUNT IN TAIN'S FORUM!!!

Fine. :sigh:

*unenthusiastically*

No, we should send the orders in secret you noob.

Many arguments came about this controversial topic

ROLEPLAY!!!

Secrecy.

ROLEPLAY!!!!!!!111!!!!!!1!1!!!!!!1one!!!!1!!

Secrecy.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secrecy.

But then a little girl came up with the solution.

HEY! I'm not going to be the little girl! We're the Formatting Crew, we're supposed to be genderless!

DO WHAT I SAY OR THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN TO YOU!!!

Fine.

¿Por qué no tener los dos? (Why don't we have both?)

* DA-DA-DADA-DA-DA! *

Introducing new Adventures of the Formatting Crew style roleplaying, we'll submit the orders, then we'll post some roleplaying!

* DA-DA-DADA-DA-DA! *

I am not eating this taco.

But you like tacos!

* DA-DA-DADA-DA-DA! Da-Da-Da *

I'm full! Besides, why should I do what you say?

BECAUSE I HACKED INTO NINJACOW'S EMAIL, DO WHAT I SAY OR YOU WON'T GET AN ACCOUNT!!!

* Da-Da-Da-Da- *

OKAY THEN! OM NOM NOM NOM NOM! HAPPY?

Very.

* Bwowm-Bwowm-Wow-Wohm-Wooooooooowowowowowowm! *

[plain]Hey, can I get an account too?[/plain]

No, you weren't in the ad. Besides, Tani's forum doesn't have any Noparse

[plain]Tani! This is discrimination! I'm going to file a lawsuit against you! Or, I would, if I knew what a lawsuit was. Is it a Tuxedo? I'm not sure.[/plain]

Facepalm.

OCC: Basically, what I'm going to do in the future is I'm going to do roleplay pertaining to the update then roleplay pertaining to my orders AFTER the orders lock. Yeah.

USSR:

Built 5 armies.
The rest income into:
Half into spies.
The other half into industry.
Anything that remains, bank it.

6 Claims:

 

[NinjaCow64]

@Chirstos: I'm pretty sure that you can only expand five provinces per turn...

 

[christos200]

All new nations begin with one land unit. Land divisions can be used to claim neutral territory.

This. I have 1 army and i create other 5. So i have 6 claims.

 

[NinjaCow64]

This. I have 1 army and i create other 5. So i have 6 claims.

No, I mean there is a maximum of five claims per turn no matter how many soldiers you have.

 

[christos200]

Where it says that?

 

[NinjaCow64]

Opening post, war and combat section:

All new nations begin with one land unit. Land divisions can be used to claim neutral territory. A player may claim as many territories as one has armies, provided these claims form a contiguous chain. Fleets can land troops on distant shores, and air wings can deploy troops further afield, thereby surmounting attempts at encirclement by other players; a maximum of five claims can be made this way by either method.

 

[christos200]

Thanks.
