[quote=@FallenTrinity] Questions: - What would the time era be? - How far ahead is the technological advancement? I understand there are mechs but to what extent is the technology? - Is there a possibility that former warriors from these nations have defected to this area? * If so, would any of them have managed to bring with them any tech with them (mechs, advanced weaponry etc.)? - Are there or is there a orbital navy? - After the war what is the state of each country? * What are the governments like? I got other questions but id be interested :) [/quote] Obviously not OP, but since he's asking for suggestions, I'm going to say what I think about each question, and then raise a few of my own that I think will help flesh out the world. Here we go: 1 & 2 I think the two questions tie in together. I take to understand that this is [i]not[/i] Earth, but is instead a sort of parallel alternate world. Mechs could be anywhere from basically just an alternative to a tank(which could exist in a steampunk or dieselpunk world) to a flying Gundam type deal. So this is an important question. The picture given leads me to believe it is near future, or alternative modern. I think the best way to handle this is to assume current tech levels as a base, and specifically hash out what has been added to that. 3) I assume so, in fact I imagine it is how the rebellion was built. 4) I think it's best if this isn't too crazy advanced, because if you can just sharpshoot your enemy from orbit, why would we have mechs? I do have some ideas, pulled from Arthur C Clarke's futurist sci-fi: 1) Orbital solar farms. Huge, tens of miles square fields of solar panels in geosynchronous orbit that move to face the sun as best as possible. The power is beamed down via targeted microwave to collectors on the ground that then plug into the power grid. 2) Space elevators: Not a crazy chunky tower, the way that I've heard them theorized as working is more like a rail car system. It's a hugely long carbon based cord, thin but wide and very strong. At it's end, outside of orbit is a counter weight that is, by centrifugal force, being drawn outward, and therefore keeping the wire taught. Both of these are great for a conflict based RP, because they work best at the equator, and therefore lend a geography based power imbalance, as well as ground based points that could need to be defended, or assaulted, depending on the side they belong to. I have other questions and suggestions, but I have to leave now, but I have my eye on this. EDIT: Why was the Northern frontier so powerful? What was in the North that gave it such an industry heavy economy? What powers the mechs? An onboard nuclear plant? Maybe the Northern Frontier has thorium or uranium, maybe that's what gave them their power. Industry turns to military applications, and makes them strong enough that half of the rest of the world had to team up to beat them. Is this human only, if it does not take place on Earth, exactly? We could have even more wildly diverging ethnicities, amounting to different "races."
