Reminiscent of your DarkNES orders...
1 turn to defeat or very close to it, 2 turns to a total crushing of resistance.
Hmm, French Hegemony.
About ending the NES: I'd like to see it come to a defininte end, IE a stable balance of power between the three superpowers.
And then... PARHAE!!!

Oh honestly... This NES is not nearly interesting enough to deserve another IT.

Once the world is painted in three colors, I doubt there will be much fighting to be had.
The situation is likely to turn 1984-ish.

Excuse me if I got out of hand. I have been pretty good at ignoring Kentharu's snide comments constantly aimed at me, but one can only take so much.
I will not, however, apologize for them.

Better Know Your Leaders Presents:
Heroes of The Revolution, Chapter 1; Joseph Acier:
Born on a small, picturesque farm just outside Charleville, Virginie, to a military family, little could have been predicted of Acier's greatness. His mother, Anne Acier, was the daughter of an old, wealthy Occitan family from Virginie. His father, Stephen Acier, was a veteran of the wars against the English, but had never distinguished himself beyond a few wounds during a seige in Canada.
Little is known about his service in detail, as Acier's father died at a young age during a serious outbreak of malaria, but what is known is that his death had a profound effect upon Acier's life. Without a paternal figure in is life Acier turned to the military career to fill that void, doubling as a continuation of the military tradition of his family.
It was here during his teenage years he found his calling in life- serving for the French Imperial Army against the various indian insurrections. In fact, it was two days after his 18th birthday that he truly came of age and found his calling in life, for that was the day he first found himself in battle against the Indian rebels in Virginie. It was here he lived up to his surname and aquired the nickname "Man of Steel" for his stalwart defense during the battle of Raleigh in 1752.
Distinguishing himself in almost the first instants of the Indian wars, Acier quickly rose through the ranks all the way to Leuitenant before the war ended, rising to General throughout the interwar years and beginning his own family back on his ancestral plot outside Charleville. Many times during this period of rest the now General Acier was offered a generous pension and retirement- but every time he refused, retaining the fiery spirit of youth which had never eluded him from the time he first found himself immersed in his natural element, the lust of battle for his just cause.
It was also during this time that Acier made many remarks about the ongoing political crisis within the soon to be defunct PUAF,
often voicing somewhat cynically his opinion of Neuvelle France's attempts to infringe upon southern rights. Needless to say, this raised many eyebrows and suspicions from the northeners, and it came as little surprise what happened next...
A true Virginien at heart, very few were surprised at Acier's almost instant spring to the defense of his beloved Occitan when the news of slavery's abolition spread southward. Despite being over 45 years old, Acier himself, with his son Jean at his side, raced all across the Occitan raising the army for the defense of Charleville from the oncoming onslaught of Imperial and PUAF forces which intended to unseat the rightful Occitan revolutionaries from their symbolic heart and capital. It was his personal skill and expertise which saw the escape of nearly the entire defense force into the forests sorrounding the capital, dealing a decisive blow against the PUAF's incompetant and poorly motivated military forces.
Unable to defeat the superior Imperial forces, Acier did however help orchestrate the peace treaty alongside Stephen Colbert and Father Marcel Badeu of New Orleans to become the military trinity which compliments the three fathers of our great nation.
Still an active participant in the military and in politics, many see Acier as the right choice for next president of the Occitan. Though he has yet to announce any sort of candidacy, as Stephen Colbert's terms come to a limit soon, Acier may have no choice given his extreme popularity amongst nearly all citizens of the south - representing nearly all classes, traditions and aspects of French and Occitan culture which make this nation so Great.

Well, technically I had no reason to attack Russia as it was a French attack meaning that the Defensive Pact was not activated. Notice the EUA not fighting either.
Britain also seemed to be a French attack, so no pact violation there.
No treaty has been signed with Segu.
Technically, since I am now attacked, then all members of the alliance should declare on France unless they want to prove themselves as puppets. That means Japan, Krakow, EUA, Finland and a few more.
It doesn't really matter though. Since my interest in this is already gone and I see no point in artificially extending it for another two turns so France can grow larger, I'm going to pull out.
Should have supported the rebels and joined Russia as I thought of earlier. Only reason it wsn't done was because my PM wouldn't have done it IC.

Still no terribly clear answer... As it would seem that the Partition of the World will take maximum of three more turns, and even then is fairly inevitable by now, I am not exactly sure if I should actually bother with the update - things have gotten a bit predictable by now...

After pondering on this issue some more, I have made a final decision - I am going to have to kill this NES, or at least put it to sleep (one day far into the future I might do another IT - the concept of three-way Cold War NESes hasn't been developed enough, but if stalin's experiment with it is any indication, it might be quite fun...). Terribly sorry to all of you who wanted it to continue - this is a combination of both the action dying down (especially after this update - I already did determine the outcomes of some vital military actions to a certain extent, and they only further guarantee this tri-way "Partition of the World") and me losing interest. Doubly sorry because I promised to continue this, but let you down, Panda. If it is any consolation, I WILL do a final mini-update/epilogue and a map of the post-Partition world.
After this, I will briefly withdraw from modding; I do however intend to start working on the revival of ITNES I soon, amongst other things reworking the ruleset yet again (and, ofcourse, summarizing the last IT and doing the new BT update...). I guarantee that the revival will have lots of opportunities for players old and new.
Anyway, sorry to anyone disappointed, hope no real harm was done. Oh, and will work on the awards later this week.
DON'T close the thread yet, Turner (I will post the mini-update and later the awards here as well).
