I have only one stipulation for this NES. As many of you know, the Old World is the favorite for starting locations. Therefore my one request is that the Americas are treated as the Old World. I would like the majority of people joining to create their nations in America with old worldy names. I would not be opposed to a Germany in mexico or Britian in Cuba. That is the one twist of fate i desire.
For those who recall i last moderated a "military" NES, which was well played by all involved, and I would have kept up with it had it not been for the unfortunate death of two of my friends in a car accident. Since then I have been keeping busy in college and with other work, but I've missed playing and moderating NESes with y'all. So here we go, a return to the old timey story NES.
Just as a note i'm not going for over-realism or anything, this is an old-timey NES, strictly for the fun of diplomacy and the founding of massive empires. Be aware that the rules will likely change over time, as did the old RTOR NES. This is a more story based NES and i don't really care what your nation is, whether it's historically based or anything. As stated, do what you want, argue for whatever, and the NES will change itself.
Go for Empire!
