The World is Yours: Game's Thread

[Milarqui]

We are going to play with the ruleset of UkNES IV, but with a few changes.

Each player will be in charge of their own posts on the Nation's Thread. One of those posts will be where they will put their stats and orders, and the other will be the one where they will write newspapers that talk about the happenings of the game.

This game will happen in turns of 1 month game-time, and starts on January 2017.

Economy
Each nation's economy will depend on the following:

• Territories controlled (each territory gives a quantity of credits (c) which is shown on the Nation's Thread).
• Factories: one factory costs your current income plus 3c.
• Raids: your Special Forces may manage to steal the Treasury of a Nation.
• Random events.

Unit's cost a determined quantity of credits.

Army, Navy and Air Force

Your Army/Navy/Air Force is formed by a set of units whose cost and abilities depend on what they are. You don't need to pay upkeep for them.

You may separate your units in different armies/navies/air groups for better management. There is no penalty for changing or adding units to an army, although for that to happen units must be in the same territory before moving.

Land units can only move 1 territory per turn. Sea units can cross 1 ocean/sea per turn. Air units can cross 2 territories or 1 ocean/sea (going from one country to other, unless they are Naval Air Wings, in which case they can land on Carriers).

Each nation will have 1 special unit that will substitute a normal unit.

Combat will be either moderated by me.

Nuclear Bombs
There are two kinds of nuclear bombs: Tactical Nukes, which can only be launched from Nuclear Submarines or Bombers, and ICBMs, which can only be launched from ICBM Bunkers. When they hit a territory, each factory will have a 50% chance of surviving. The territory itself will have its income reduced by 1-3 credits if the nuke was a tactical one; and 1-5 credits if the nuke was an ICBM.

[Milarqui]

Just in case.

You can post now!

 

[Abaddon]

What about your other NES?

 

[Milarqui]

It's still on, don't worry. You can join this NES if you want.

 

[DarthNader]

Russia is in the house, and guess who's back...

Spoiler :

 

[.:KNAS:.]

@DarthNader: lol

@Milarquis: Could you post all the nations unique units on that first post?

 

[Jason The King]

I'm here and ready!!!

 

[Milarqui]

@DarthNader: lol

@Milarquis: Could you post all the nations unique units on that first post?

I'll do that later.

 

[Jason The King]

Also, are we starting with some kind of bonus?

 

[DarthNader]

We start with only 3x our normal income to start, so for you, 15c. After that, we get our normal income and the game begins. This means you overspent a little in your stats.

 

[Terrance888]

The United States of Southern Afria (USSA) is here to depose of fake democracies and install true democratic nation-states across africa!

Jason, post your newspaper so I can post my stats!

 

[erez87]

The Chairman of China is here to spread the revolution!

Oh oh! What about the unique units in the end? Do I get my Red Infantry for 2c?

 

[Milarqui]

UUs have just been posted. I don't know which are the UUs for Germany and South Africa are, so I've left it empty until they say which are them.

 

[Terrance888]

Our UU: Patria AMVII Leopard
An Improved version of the Patria AMVII Badger, the Leopard works in groups of 7, called a Attack Squad, which includs ones with inbuilt mortars, small arms fire, radar/thermal imaging commander, and platoon carriors, and many squads of different specialties are in a single Division. The Carried Infantry, called commandos after the historic strike force of Africa in jeeps used to supress riots or border raids, are well trained and armed, a platoon ber attack sqad; and their faster, well built fighting machine give them an edge in any battle.

5c(6c?) 3/4, small artillary ability.

 

[Vertinari118]

So how does someone join this? Just call a nation and write the recent history of it or what?

 

[DarthNader]

Purdy much.

 

[Vertinari118]

The UK is here and ready to rumble.

 

[Milarqui]

Are you going to post your stats on the Nation's thread, Vert?
