[OOC] The Age of Nations

[Milkman]

Cool map :D

I would love some more detail about the Neighbors of Amazonia ;)

[Theodorable]

Ah yes, the Zanoni Tribes. I'll add them if I have the time! Keep posting IC.

Who else hasn't posted?! I need (to make) a list so I can keep track.

Are we ready for February or not? No rush, of course.

ALSO:

Under all the player dossiers you'll now see this:
| War Tactics: [Artillery Assault--Forced Conscription--Maneuver Warfare--Strategic Command] |

In your next IC post (don't tell me in a PM or OOC, your nation will need to pick one. Here's a quick rundown.

Artillery Assault: With an emphasis on lines of riflemen and artillery batteries, your nation's primary focus is critical and unrelenting destruction of the enemy. With your nation's industry used to equip your nation's forces with the most powerful cannons and accurate rifles, your army's primary strategy is the quick annihilation of enemy forces. [Supplemented by Industry]

Forced Conscription: Where other nations may utilize technology or strategy, your nation simply seeks victory through attrition. If there's a fire, your generals will put it out by piling bodies on it, the most plentiful resource available. The more troops, the more territory can be taken and the more your enemy has to kill if they wish to take the field. [Supplemented by Population]

Maneuver Warfare: Utilizing fast lines of supply and communication, your armies mobile cavalry and light skirmishers will complement your nation's army to quickly outflank the enemy, striking at their flanks and rear. This is optimal for nations that need a quick victory, but these troops must be highly specialized. [Supplemented by Forests, Mountains, Rivers and Harsh Terrain]

Strategic Command: Your troops may not be the best in the world (or they may be), but it is your commanders that are truly exemplary. So skilled are they that they can adapt and change. Few things surprise them, and even if operating autonomously they can often snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. No amount of genius can defeat being outproduced, out fought, or simply outmaneuvered however. [Supplemented by Train Army]

[Lone Wanderer]

Yay. More friends of the Commonwealth. One of the most backwards and conservative nations is obviously the most friendly with 6 NPC/Minor nations being Friendly. They clearly recognize the way the wind is blowing...

I'm all for February to fall upon us. But then again, I've posted.

Population you say...

[Theodorable]

Yes sir. I've now covered all the bases I needed to. The game is, for all intents and purposes, complete and out of my hands.

That military system isn't a complete rock, paper scissors but one type definitely counters another and during war will give you a big edge. I won't tell you what beats what obviously.

Now I just want things to begin picking up speed in the IC. Post everyone, post!

[Flooby Badoop]

I believe everyone's actually posted, so I think we're ready for February. Unless you want us to respond to the mid-way update.

Nice Serranthia map, by the way.

[Theodorable]

February, it is. Expect it tonight.

[Flooby Badoop]

February, it is. Expect it tonight.

@Theodorable

Cool beans. Also, I dig the new Unfriendly status. If one can go from Friendly to Allied, it stands to reason one can go from Unfriendly to Enemy. Distrusting a nation is a lot different from wanting them dead, after all.

EDIT: Kapitas and Tanash are up! Yay!

[Milkman]

Then I'll wait with posting my 3th post for a bit :)

[Theodorable]

By all means, keep posting! There's no limit. Post on, post on! I won't be posting the February Update until way late tonight!

[Dedonus]

Cool map :D

@Milkman

Same here. @Theodorable

[Theodorable]

It's coming it's coming! Away to the IC, I say! The more you're IC the more you can shape the world because you give me more to work for, for the updates.

Also, I always try and flesh the world out by including characters and personalities from other nations. If you don't feel included, don't worry, I'll get to you!

[Theodorable]

Wee! Finally someone posted in the IC! Some of you have already sent me your actions for February. Hold on off that, as the Jarelian Crisis is still ongoing and there will be a new one as well!

[LordZell]

Theodorable just a question on the armies you did on the main page. You basically said that all of the armies are moderate while mine are professional is that just for effect and make it look nice or will/would that have an effect in battle? Also my navy is a little larger then skeps just leting you know.

[Theodorable]

Lord, yes your soldiers are professionals and of some of the highest quality. If I remember your "Martial Prowess" roll was the luckiest out of all the players.

I'll take a look at the navies. You might be right, in which case you'd have the largest navy in the world, no?

[Boop_Im_A_Dragon]

I seem to have gone from enemy to neutral for the kingdom of Nehelenia is this intentional? Sorry that you are getting bombarded with questions.

[Theodorable]

Yes. I think I actually made Nehalenia an enemy to too many nations, and that was an error on my part. It's a 0-2 with a modifier and it had 4 which was too many. Keep on trucking everybody.

IC posts are my favorite. Love seeing you guys flesh the world out.

@Theodorable

Is it fine if I make another IC post before the February update? It was going to be a treaty concerning Fulric-Schulstein-Skeptoni relations, if you would rather I can make it after the next update.

@Hockeystyle

Please! Don't ever wait for me to post the update! Post as much as you want! That's what I want! Play on until the update comes, analyze what has happened the continue! I encourage multiple posts in between updates! Go! Go!

Fulric-Schulstein may very well end up being important in the next update!

Also LordZell your diplomatic inquiries to Kunenia and the others will be answered in February. I accidentally overlooked them. My apologies.

[Lone Wanderer]

A post of my own will be up shortly. Nothing that will affect the grand stage of things, just some flavor.

Oh yes. I imagine Fulric and Schulstein will become important.

[LordZell]

We can get multiply posts in a month nice. I also think a goo majority of the nation's have posted at least one.
