ZPNESV: Flowers on the Razor Wire (World Conquest)

[Matt0088]

Wow, I try to liberate you from the most terrifying country in the world and then you just go and take its reigns That's just fantastic.

Like you even had a remote chance of getting to my core territories to revive the GUAA in any decent form.

Technology / Prototypes:
Shogunate of Great Honshu has perfected the Sniper unit, and can now build it for normal price ($3), and can teach this tech to its friends and allies (tech transfer would take one whole turn before coming into effect).

The Technocratic Republic of Columbia successfully built a prototype Mobile Artillery unit, but the technology has not been perfected yet, and so prototype costs still apply.

Map:


If orders are in within 48 hours, I can maybe update then

Bonuses:
The Technocratic Republic of Columbia has unified 'Greater Canada'.
The Iron Fascist Union of the Greater South has unified 'South America'.
PM's with bonus options will be sent shortly.

Ninja Dude has activated a secret bonus.

Other Notes:

LittleBoots and the National Democratic Republic of Gran Colombia

I listened to Göteborgsmusiken while updating this.

• Bombed factories now produce $1 a turn. Bombed cities would still produce nothing. Bombed territories now have a %50 chance to recover at the start of each turn.
  
• Currently, the mutli-prong bonus doesn't apply for defence (units moving into a friendly territory under attack). I'm thinking maybe it should.
  
• I've stuck with the same rules for capitols, although I guess there should be some revisions in future.
  
• I assure you that I NPC'ed Duckistan's movements irrespective of orders, which I had yet to read properly...

 

[Daftpanzer]

Daft, I hate to have to do this, but I don't think I can really keep playing as Duckistan. It's taking up more time than I really had planned, and I can't really give it the attention it deserves. I'm hoping someone else can take better care of it than I can give it.

@Supermath, no problems, thankyou for playing

...

*The Duckistan Civil War!*

My feeling is that Duckistan should not be handed out in one piece to another player. I'm thinking there will be a civil war, with at least two factions. If anyone apart from Matt0088 is interested, let me know!

 

[Bil]

I'm in!

 

[TerrisH]

I'm going to join as the single armed NPC nation left.
Madagascar

To Afrikaan Forces Suud:
You are the sole Intimidate threat to our Islands freedom. we like our freedom, and secrecy. we are willing to enter a subservient alliance with your nation, if you are willing to guarantee our sovereignty, and our privacy, we will send you what forces we can to aid your fight. we will share you any tech we my Aquire.

New Zealand is still left, actually has income, AND has a good sized military

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Woohoo! Update!

I think that a civil war in Duckistan will be good- it'll probably help to keep the world from stagnating into 2 monolithic superalliances. However, as a potential rival of Duckistan, I'm probably biased.

 

[TerrisH]

hmm, no transport to attack.

hmm, if neather of the opsionts proposed will work, I'll that NZ instead.

 

[LittleBoots]

thanks Daft, sorry for no orders, should have mentioned that there was nothing to do but wait. I'll take New Zealand though. Blue on Green, with a random flag and the same soldier as last time.

EDIT: Unless TerrisH gets it, that is.

 

[DarthNader]

Note to self: Keep capital in Njordviken, have income for more turns. Why did I JUST think of this?!

 

[Kraznaya]

Note to self: Keep capital in Njordviken, have income for more turns. Why did I JUST think of this?!

Because Njordviken isn't a real capital.

My feeling is that Duckistan should not be handed out in one piece to another player. I'm thinking there will be a civil war, with at least two factions. If anyone apart from Matt0088 is interested, let me know!

As Duckistan's pre-eminent ally, I must speak strongly against this as it puts the plans of her allies, who basically counted on her as a stable neighbor, in flux, and leaves them weak in face of other alliance blocs. However, if it must happen:

To the Duckistani Military Governors of Karelia, Astrakhan, and Sibir

In light of the recent chaos following the catastrophic collapse of government, we invite you to declare your allegiance to ours. Whatever chaos comes from Rajputana is theirs to deal with, but with your hands clasped with ours we promise the hope of a stable and united Europe and crush USSB treachery forever.

 

[Justo]

Orders: Same as usual. The Red Boot shall return.

Orders: Same as usual. The Red Boot shall return.

No I think not.

Don't grief, dude.

 

[Bil]

Daft, how did you want to break Duckistan up (if you're still doing the civil war)? Either way, Matt had first dibs, and I'm fine with whatever.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Map replaced, because chinese storm trooper actually moved to Yakutsk.

Also, I forgot to make humorous references to Lord_Iggy's overpowering invasion of Greenland

*No Civil War in Duckistan*:

So after thinking about it, I think a civil war would be unfair on several people, and not fair on Supermath either.

@Matt0088, do you still want to play Duckistan? Perhaps you could let Bil form a seperate (allied) state out of Karelia, Astrakhan, and Sibir, possibly other territories, so you have less to deal with?

@Terrish, Madagascar has no income, its not really playable. You can play as NZ if you want, since you staked the first claim.

@LittleBoots, would you like to be a priority replacement player if anyone else drops out? Sorry thats all I can offer

 

[Daftpanzer]

Note to self: Keep capital in Njordviken, have income for more turns. Why did I JUST think of this?!

@Darth, with the current rules, you will keep losing income every time Karelia is recaptured and lost again. You could wait and hope you get a new capitol in Njordiviken (I roll a dice for this each turn, 5 or 6 will do).

 

[Bil]

I'm fine with stepping back, really. If Matt wants all of Duckistan, he can have it

 

[Matt0088]

Maybe me and Bil can be co-commanders like me and charles were Daft? Nice to know there is no civil war.

 

[TerrisH]

Right'o NZ it is. hmm. going to be a while till I cna do anything.
