oh nukes again? :S

 

[Erik Mesoy]

he becomes able to randomly to get the next age at any following turn.

I've always wondered about this, because it's certainly not random. You've restricted it based on "not yet you can't" before, so what exactly are the rules on this?

 

[fantasmo]

Question. Are these polar bears your tool for getting away with anything?

 

[Toteone]

Communists were attacking them, Russia was... I think it's silly with the eastern USA being communist.
Voted for Titanic world by mistake, it's my second choice but I'd much rather play NES2 III 500 years later because it has history among the players and it works.
If Titanic NES which looks great except for Eastern USA being communist and perhaps India being too large (it was a mess by it's independance in my humble opinion) I'd like to play hum Germany. I'll be responsible.

That said, I'd much rather play Burgundia... long live Burgundia.

Fantasmo: he did say so openly =^_^= that polar bears was a mod's way of getting away with forgetting orders

oh nukes again? :S

Well, duh. What is a modern NES without nukes?

I've always wondered about this, because it's certainly not random. You've restricted it based on "not yet you can't" before, so what exactly are the rules on this?

Sorry about that - it is random when I remember that its supposed to be random. As the extent of my sclerosis is purely random as well, hmm, I guess it is random.

Other then that, you can't move to a new age every five turns. That's about all.

Question. Are these polar bears your tool for getting away with anything?

Well... um... who told you they are? *shoots a random nearby bodyguard*

I think it's silly with the eastern USA being communist.

East USA being communist - northeast strikes me as fairly industrialized, southeast was conquered along the way.

That said, I'd much rather play Burgundia... long live Burgundia.

Do I smell a rebellion here?

Fantasmo: he did say so openly =^_^= that polar bears was a mod's way of getting away with forgetting orders

Guess so. Oh, who am I kidding?

Economy: Rich (+2)
Education: Well Educated
Culture: Patriotic
Confidence: Respecting
Projects:
Nation Background: World War One wrecked many nations, some much more so then the USA. But it was in USA that the true damage was felt.

The British “betrayed” her at the negotiations table, causing Canada to leave the Commonwealth (soon followed by Australia), and it later lost Quebec as well. Though currently still a democracy, there is a rising amount of fascist Anglo-Canadian organizations.

Confidence: Barely Tolerating
Projects:
Nation Background: Spain, though not involved in World War One, was and still is going through harsh times.

Economy: Poor (0)
Education: Well Educated
Culture: Strongly Cultured
Confidence: Admiring

Nation Background: The energetic leadership, the vacuum of power, the industrialization and many other factors after WWI allowed Russia to remain a great power, and even to expand. However, now Russia is a turning point. Will the numerous ethnic and religious groups within it cause this empire to collapse... or will the Russian Bear dominate the world?

Navy: 10 ships
Air Force: 20 air wings
Military Support: 50/90
Economy: Recession (-1)
Education: Literate
Culture: Strongly Cultured
Confidence: Tolerating
Projects:
Nation Background: Ottoman Empire was ruthlessly destroyed by WWI. Its successor, Turkish National Republic, was short-lived and was destroyed in the same war.

Culture: Hyperpatriotic
Confidence: Admiring

Nation Background: The Saudis - religious fanatics, British allies, oil magnates and caliphs - are in charge of a sizeable Middle Eastern empire. Even more importantly, they control oil sources, an army trained by western specialists such as the famed Saudi general, T. H. Lawrence and religious authority over all that is Muslim.

Education: Well Educated
Culture: Patriotic
Confidence: Respecting
Projects:
Nation Background: India, if one doesn’t count the UCSR, is the newest great power. The stolen jewel of the British crown, the loss of which put the nail in the coffin of Pax Britannia. India has since then developed great relations with Germany and Russia... but will that last? Its population powerbase is potent enough to make India’s military the largest in the world.

Japanese Empire
