Might be interested in this. I'll be keeping tabs for now.

So long as someone doesn't whip out a F22 or Abrams tank than its all good in my eyes.

Does that mean I can have a super-ultra-mega-sun-death-jesus-insta-kill-gibbing-space-solar-blackhole-laser-tank? Its technically not a F22 or a Abrams :3

Well shit, you got me there.....

@Skepic

Yes, yes, it will go nicely with my laser-guilded-rocket-propelled-polar-bears and my mini-nuclear-bomb-shotgun-shells and the tank that's the size of Azerbaijan.

*evilly laughs evilly*

Well you know what? If your so worried/focused on tech being "precisely" from the era or being too over powered then your missing the entire point of this kind of NRP. We got airships, elves, bird people, and all sorts of crazy shit.

Let's not care and have fun dammit! As long as we stick the style more so than the actual, literal tech then we'll be fine. So long as someone doesn't whip out a F22 or Abrams tank than its all good in my eyes. I think we can trust each other to have fun with the story with our on envisions of crazy, unique nations.

That's why I would like to stay in early 1940s era tech. It gives you a much wider variety of options in terms of style. Also, I got more WWII fantasy tech pics...... and I don't wanna go spend hours image hunting again. XD

Also, we never had any real problem with the tech era previously, so why make it an issue now?

Side Note: Not trying to be mean and have no ill will to anyone, in case it came off like that.

Yeah, that was kind of my point, too.
I am in for the style and to explore my imagination more than some twisted mentality to best all players.
Though I do get heavy on the technical side, because that's also something I enjoy.
On the other hand if somebody is having issues with it or feel the urge to compete with me and spice up his army beyond what he/she originally planned, then don't.
And that's why I am offering to nerf my tech if requested. Keeping the style and features but without dominating others.

Oh hey, here's a map suggestion. I'm working on sprucing it up, making it look a little less "bare bones". I took a image of what the earth supposedly will look like way in the future due to the moving plates that make up the earth's crust. I added some islands and that continent on the left. I'll be coloring and what not, but what do you guys think?

While I appreciate your work the issue is the same as with many custom maps. It's a big chunk of rock without much detail.
It also inspires people to make huge nations because it's just so vast.
Compare it with this:


This is one reason why I would prefer Earth map.
Another is the amount of resources you can invoke with association. What if your Byzantine-russian empire is actually occupying Byzantine and Russian territories?
What if somebody wish to make Germans but in this drastically changed wo.rld? It gives various possibilities or reinforces the concept of certain ideas.
I love that.

And this is why I'm picking option one, so my wannabe Japan can actually be some where reasonable in asia instead of being somewhere in France with Turkish and Aztec neighbors.

I agree with Willy I'm down with going for the real world map for this.

I kinda wanna join this. not sure what the name would be, but yeah.

Meh, I was bored so I thought I might just toss up a map.

Woah, I had unsubbed from the last thread and just wandered into the nation section to discover THIS. A grand revival! Count me back in.

I favor Voltus in that we shouldn't have an Earth map. Granted, my reasoning is mostly "just 'cuz" and because elves and that dwarves on Earth would give me huge cognitive dissonance. Still, I see zero good reasons to not just use that map that @Skepic gave aside from Willy's accurate observation that it is too blank and would cause massive nations.

The solution is to simply break up that huge supercontinent. This would offer some strategy that would discourage just grabbing a huge swathe of land: there's the option of lots of open and fertile yet indefensible land, some rugged land rich in metals and easy to defend that makes transportation a nightmare, or maybe just a small island to offer some breathing room at the expense of having to import resources not found on your island.

As far as technology goes, I favor WWII-era tech like most of the others seem to.

How about we use the Ace Combat universe map? That's a good one...

Look at it! Sooooo pretty!

I like it.

I like it too!

yay! They like it!

I'm interested in joining

Get out of here spooky scary skeleton!

Hmm.
