Yllendthyr is kinda the combination of Spain, British Empire and a bit of German. While being Elves seemingly out of Lord of the Rings.
My nation has great pilots, shooters and engineers. It's thanks to their enhanced senses and natural gyroscope-like organs.
Mithril is another reason and in a way that's an engineer's dream, its strength to weight ratio is great even if volume-wise it's inferior to steel.
Which means my vehicles are lightweight. On the other hand I also have less armor and my guns have lesser pressure tolerance, meaning weaker guns. Well, technically. They compensate with larger bore diameters and the fact mithril is lighter. My guns in general have massive velocity but comparatively less mass. Delivering explosive shells is preferable for me but my AP shells are relatively decent too, even if more expensive.
One weakness which I can't really get around is armor. I have decently protected light armors but both my nation's policy and my mithril is less fit for heavily armored units. My light tank are extremely agile, moving almost like a modern car. I do have a heavy tank which is decently mobile, well-armed and well-protected but it's on premium price and unlikely to go down anytime soon.

As for aircraft I plan to use jets. Early jets which consume tons of fuel and need more frequent overhauls. Speed-wise they have an advantage over others like the tanks do and mithril is a bit better than plywood but overall it only gives me a certain advantage than anything OP. I also lack dedicated bombers because Yllendthyr found them unneccessary and only have relatively light bombs deployed by dive bombers. Instead I am experimenting on aircraft artillery, rockets and nowadays developed a VF-1 style flying bomb. The latter carries 1000lbs of explosive and can be deployed up to from a hundred kilometers so the airships are safe. Downsides are the cost (10 times that of a normal bomb), reliance on radio guidance and the fact these can be technically intercepted on flight.

Overall Yllendthyr has decent military, sufficient enough to justify their constant bragging but if somebody inspects the details they'd find that the Elven Warmachine is fragile. There are several factors which would make Yllendthyr less happy for waging a prolonged war than others.

@Willy Vereb Will Yllendthyr and Fuso have the same relations as Yllendthyr and Yamatai?

@ClocktowerEchosdepends.
Yamatai was an issue because we had mutual territory claims on that damn island.
And you were more military minded in general.

Oh, and another mention of my military. They don't use mechs even though their technology should allow them to copy it. Reason is that they're too slow for Yllendthyr's needs.
Well, yeah. when your light tank is like the BT-2 on steroids and you build an entire doctrine on this then indeed, walkers are slow.

Again, Fuso definition of a tank:

Dis metal box got treads and can move. If we put a gun here and a bigger gun here, it should work. If its not, clearly we haven't put enough guns on it.
Direct quote from the previous Military Minster on armored vehicles


Yeah... they might have taken lessens from Orks. They only care if it can shoot stuff and go boom (hopefully the enemy and not the walker). They see the air force as capible of filling the roles of armored support and naval support to a lesser extent.

Anyways, I was wondering if Fuso could have tried to copy Yllinthyr's old propeller planes and mithril to make their own versions. Thoughts?

copying mithril is going to be problematic, to say.
You can make products made of mithral which is while not even half as strong it's still better than aluminium in general and just as light.

This is technically my tank.
but looking more like this:
http://valkyria.wikia.com/wiki/File:Type36_light_tank_b.jpg
Its performance is amazing. It's just the fact they are light tanks that aren't supposed to deal with anything above their weight class.

I know, but again, its one of those comical Fuso derp moments. The story behind their attempts a recreating mithral can be summed up as: "Let's throw crap into a pot and see what comes close to this magical mithril stuff."

Unsurprisingly, they failed at making mithril, but they did make their own alloy calling it "Shakudo" or "Tamahagani" which is used in aircraft and their walkers. Of which they claimed was a "perfect replica" of it (spoiler alert: its not but its still good enough for their needs)

I'm actually willing to say, most the stuff they try to copy involves them bumbling around and derping until they find a good mixture of stuff that works and claims that' what they were aiming for the entire time. They're intelligent idiots basically. Give them a toaster and they'll make a computer out of it, just don't ask why half your household electronics are now missing too.

@Voltus_VentusCan we decide on a "main continent"?
Also personally if we use custom maps I say we should rather use the one ofr the old game.
The Ace combat map looks nicer but it's really difficult at establishing positions in it.
all continents are a bit vertical and we don't have a wide enough continent to establish classical east and west.
And being 5-10k kilometers away from each other is far too big for our people to exchange technology and culture during the past.
It may be a bit late but if the earth map is axed can we rturn to the old one from the original game?

If we don't stick with the current map, I have found some which may seem good choices.

i.imgur.com/IXla8SP.png
An alternate version of RL Earth.

i.imgur.com/V8Tci.png
And an more alien map.

And if we do stick with the map disregard the post :P

The first one looks like we just nuked the fuck out of each other until we literally ripped earth a new one.

The second one looks like Pangea in its awkward teenaged years.

You can buy my tanks they would require some internal refitting but they do have multiple turrets lol. If you where a regular customer we could possibly even just supply the hulls and turrets letting you do the rest.

I like the alternate earth map if we go for that I want the 2 islands in south america just above where Brazil would be in real life.

Why hello there.



I'd like to claim the following area for the glorious People's Republic of Kataylabinsk, if it's not too much. I'm planning on nerfing the technology in all fairness, and you can probably tell why I picked that area.

I'm certain that even if you gave Fuso everything for a tank, instructions and someone to watch over them, they'd still some how make an armored tricycle with a 37mm gun. Don't ask how it works, not even the people who built it would know how to work

Still thinking on a nation, adapt to the situation and all. But I have a sort of an idea on what to be(If no one minds or if the situation calls for it). A sort of Warlord State inhabited by several or so races(although said Warlord has only a portion of said land under his/her control). A Rouge State of sorts, a real pain for whoever it neighbors with.

It was something that came with the picture, so I threw it in as part of the profile I imagine it is used more for cutting threw fencing or barbed wire.

I'm actually slightly okay with this to the point I'd almost offer to be the neighboring state and it'd make sense in my history. Fuso was once a bunch of tribes who became clans who was unified by the first Emperor. Fast forward 2 hundred years and shit has gone down, the government is failing and more people have faith in their local leaders than the Emperor which causes a massive civil war that goes down for some 500 years.

If you want, you could be like a border clan that rejected the rule of the Shohu Dynasty (the current one in power) and allied/annex some neighboring clans claiming that the current Emperor is a fake.
