[OOC] World in Revolution: 1861 Mk II

How about you make an order to purchase that equipment, then?

[Rare]

So, I guess that I'm back in. What countries (important countries to the RP) need to be played?

[Pepperm1nts]

You could go for Portugal, since it's one of the few countries with pre-made stats (though they're deep in the MK1 RP IC). Besides that, I think the only other nation in Europe with stats is Spain. South America and Africa are empty so you should probably avoid those.

How about they use an order to ship it from India?

Honestly, you're grasping at straws.

[Pepperm1nts]

I'm not grasping at straws. I'm repeating what you said earlier. You suggested that the UK and France ought to make orders to turn their resources into military equipment. If you're so quick to suggest that, why should it only apply to them? You ought to have to make silly orders too.

That sort of thing happens yearly by itself. Prussia doesn't need to spend an order to tell factory owners to press on the 'on' button on their machinery.

Portugal could be a good nation to start.

That's my point.

Because the default posture of the French, British and other governments is "Making automatically equipment inferior to Prussia". They don't have the factories or knowhow or werewithal or what to emulate the needle gun and Krupp steel cannon. Prussia is buying winter clothes equivalent to the British and French.

It's not too bad, but I did a little reading and it looks like Portugal was in a state of constant decline at around this time. Their leader at around this time, Louis I, was not a very good... leader. It sounds like he didn't really know how to rule effectively. I didn't read anything that suggested he was a total fuck-up, but everything suggests he was a 'meh' leader that ruled during a time of decline for Portugal.

That is not to say you couldn't switch things around, but it'll be hard.

Portugal's stats are on page one.

Edit: [IC]

The Austrian and Prussian forces were heading towards Denmark when all the sudden fighting broke out between the two German forces. The Swedish and Danish forces popped open some kegs of bear and popped some pop corn over their camp fires. They enjoyed their food and drink while the Germans fought amongst themselves.

[Pepperm1nts]

Muh bad.

[Pepperm1nts]

You are forgiven... this time.

[So Boerd]

Whatever that means.

[Pepperm1nts]

It means next time you make a mistake, I won't forgive you. I will also likely forget you ever made it the next day.
