While We Wait: Part 3

[Chandrasekhar]

You should open up more countries; your NES is too good to be wasted only on 4 or 5.

I intend for there to be ten to fifteen slots at least by the time the real NES starts. A lot of it depends on how far colonization goes before players just stop taking governor spots. I'd like to expand the number of possible players slightly beyond the number of expected players.

Well, will I be allowed to join?

 

[Abaddon]

How do you plan to create the extra spots?

 

[Symphony D.]

NPC nations colonize space / colonies become independent, since colonization never works forever?

 

[Abaddon]

But the nations colonising space arn't NPC.. they are PC.. and you can be damn sure they don't want many rebellions!

 

[Symphony D.]

But the nations colonising space arn't NPC.. they are PC..

For now, and it's only two bloody turns in. If four countries were out cavorting in space and monopolizing the galaxy, you think the other nations of Earth would just vacantly stand by forever? Especially ones with giant population problems, like India, or aspirations at being a great power again, like Russia?

and you can be damn sure they don't want many rebellions!

Neither did any historical colonial power. See how well that turned out for them?

 

[sp1023]

If they are PC, have a rebellion, sheesh!

 

[Luckymoose]

If they are PC, have a rebellion, sheesh!

The nation itself is not exactly going through a time of rebellions.

 

[sp1023]

Hmmmm. This creates a series of problems. How are we supposed to create other countries. Why dont you add like INdia or something?

 

[carmen510]

Because no other countries exist/don't have the technology to go to space.

This NES is mainly in space, therefore, there are few countries to choose from. Most players will play governors under the control of a country.

 

[sp1023]

That sucks!

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Well, will I be allowed to join?

Of course.

As to the problem of colonies becoming independent, Symphony D. raised the points that I would have. I'd also like to add that the four PC nations (well, three of the four) are the main pioneers on Earth. Nations like India probably won't be colonizing any fresh planets, though they might send ships to form their own communities on planets already colonized.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

People can play as governors, with a good deal of independence.

 

[carmen510]

Technically, this discussion should be in the NES thread, not this thread.

 

[Chandrasekhar]

What if someone else wants to use a similar system in their NES?

 

[carmen510]

Then they would look into your NES thread anyways.

 

[Angst]

I wouldn't. Nope.

Good to write it here.

 

[Luckymoose]

I'll offer it up here as well. If anyone wants to mod GameNES 2. I will gladly make a better ruleset and stuff.

 

[sp1023]

Which NES is game NES 2?

The Orders thread by Tossi has now been added to the Notice Board, I overlooked it previously for some reason. Thanks, Padma.
