The Age of Imperialism
Welcome! The Age of Imperialism is a geopolitical simulator where you represent a nation in the vestiges of the early 20th century. This RP is intended to go until the year of 1950. This is a game as well as a role play. Story is paramount, as if the game itself. A mixture of two will see you the most successful.
The Earth, instead called the Known World is reminiscent of ours technologically, but not culturally or geographically.
Here are a few mechanics that you can expect to see.
- A Time of Ideologies: While the 19th century saw the Great Powers rise and fall, nations here have found the comfort of similar ideology to create an intricate web of alliances. You will not stand alone when the enemy comes knocking.
- Modernization: Costing time and money, balancing between building and modernizing may be the difference between victory and defeat.
- Technological Innovation: The right technology at the right time is everything.
- Imperialism: While the Continent is important, colonies grant abundant resources, which may be the difference between being a paper tiger and a true threat.
- Political Crises: Become the greatest nation in the world by having the most Prestige, accrue prestige by savvy political maneuvers.
- GEOGRAPHY
-- The Continent: The cradle of civilization, the Continent has long been the home for the most of the known world. These nations are the premier powers in the world.
-- Faresia: Often called the Far Lands, Faresia is a muggy, tropical land that is home to the orients.
-- Sarelian Islands: Mostly uninhabited, it has been modestly explored and is known to be extremely rich in resources.
-- Serranthia: The Serranthian subcontinent is huge, desolate and home to uncivilized tribes people.
-- Vakellia: A rocky, wind-swept continent with a mild and pleasant climate moderated by ocean currents.

TECHNOLOGY
Technology is essential for maintaining an up to date army and navy.
-- Research: Each turn, you may allocate any amount of money to researching new technology.
Army Technology (These are the techs for your Army).
-- Researh Army Technology: Costs $10,000,000,000 + $1,000,000,000 for every Year behind the current Year it is. (Example: Researching Bolt-Action Rifle from 1895 to 1905 would be $10 Billion + 10 Billion. 1 For every year it's behind. So thus $20,000,000,000.)
- Weaponry
[Bolt Action Rifle (1895)]
[Hand Grenade (1901)]
[Machine Gun (1901)]
[Artillery (1885)]
[Heavy Artillery (1905)] - Firepower
[Indirect Artillery (1900)]
[Heavy Barrage (1905)]
[Counter Battery (1908)]
[Concentration Fire (1910)]
Saturation Fire (1912)] - Tactics
[Mass Assault (1899)]
[Infiltration (1908)]
[Flanking (1912)] - Developments
[Trench Warfare (1900)]
[Deep Defense (1906)]
Naval Technology
-- Research Navy Technology: Costs $5,000,000,000 + $1,000,000,000 for every Year behind the current Year it is. (Example: Researching Destroyers from 1895 to 1905 would be $5 Billion + 10 Billion. 1 For every year it's behind. So thus $15,000,000,000.)
- [Submarines (1895)]
- [Destroyers (1895)]
- [Light Cruiser (1895)]
- [Armored Cruisers (1895)]
- [Pre-Dreadnought (1895)]
- [Dreadnought (1905)]
- [Battlecruiser (1905)]
National Technology
-- Research National Technology: Costs $20,000,000,000 + $2,000,000,000 for every year after 1905.
- Agricultural Expansion (1905): +1 Manpower/Year
DESIGN COMPANIES
Design Companies are companies that your nation receives designs from so that they may craft newer, better weapons of war.
-- Start: Every nation begins with 1 Naval Company and 1 Arms Company. These two companies can never be lost. You also begin with 4 Focus Points that can also never be lost.
-- Focus Growth: Every +5% Education you have above 20% you gain 1 Focus Point.
-- Additional Companies: Every +10% Education you have above 20% you gain 1 Design Company.
-- Request Design: This is the ability you use AFTER you have unlocked a technology. You select the company you wish to generate the design and it will do so.
* Example: You research Light Cruisers -- 1904 in 1904. In 1905 you receive the tech and use Request Design. You will then receive a design for Light Cruiser (1904) with the modifiers of the company you choose to design it.
EXAMPLE
Design Company #1 (Naval)
Naval Arms
[Engine: 0]
[Guns: 0]
[Armor: 0]
[Reliability: 0]
Design Company #2 (Arms)
[Firepower: 0]
[Effectiveness: 0]
[Simplicity: 0]
[Reliability: 0]
Subsequent companies may be either Arms (which can produce Army weapons) or Naval (which can produce Ships).
Industry is important for building weapons of war.
-- Build Major Factory: Costs $28,000,000,000, 4 Steel and 2 Rare Materials to produce. Will generate $15,000,000,000 per year or 2 Steel, 2 Rare Materials or 20 Oil (will not generate GNP).
-- Build Minor Factory: Costs $15,000,000,000, 2 Steel and 1 Rare Materials to produce. Will generate $8,000,000,000 per year or 2 Steel, 1 Rare Materials or 15 Oil (will not generate GNP).
Major Shipyards can produce any warship (Limit 1 in any Coastal Province)
Minor Shipyards can produce any warship except Pre-Dreadnoughts and other capital ships (Limit 2 in any Coastal Province)
Railroads allow swift movement of soldiers and supplies in a Province.
RESOURCES
* There are four resources: Steel, Oil, Precious Metals and Rare Materials.
* Resources do not stack. Instead, like budget they are simply slotted.
* Example: If you have 2 Steel Resources in your nation, every Turn you have 6 Steel Available.
* Trading Resources: You can trade Resources for other Resources, or GNP for Resource Use.
* Example: Etellia trades 1 Available Steel to Murenheidt for 1 Available Precious Metals. This requires a Trade Agreement!
* Deficiency: If you don't have enough resources to build a unit or building, it builds at -50% speed.
STEEL:
- Steel is required to build Factories, Railroads and Ships.
- Represented by a Mining Cart on the map.
- Generates 3 Steel per Turn.
OIL:
- Oil: Oil is a fuel required to move your naval ships. This however does not take place until an unspecified year.
- Represented by a Pumpjack on the map.
- Generates 30 Oil per Turn.
LUXURIES:
- Luxuries are rare, expensive products like diamonds or tea that generate a huge profit.
- Represented by a Diamond on the map.
- Generates $12,000,000,000 per turn.
RARE MATERIALS:
- Rare Materials are hard to come by resources like rubber, tungsten, chromium and aluminum used in building Ships, Artillery and Factories.
- Represented by Pyramid Bricks on the map.
- Generates 2 Rare Materials per turn.
Provinces
Provinces provide the following benefits:
* Land Provinces generate 0.5 Billion GNP.
* Coastal Provinces allow 3 Trade Ships.
* Colonial Land Provinces $5 Billion/year
* Colonial Coastal Provinces $2 Billion/year
National Unity
* National Unity represents your nation's unity and loyalty.

INDUSTRY
- Colonize: (Costs $20 Billion GNP for Island Colony = Island Colonies generate $2 Billion a year.) (Costs $30 Billion GNP for Landmass Colony = Landmass Colonies generate $5 Billion a year.)
- Establish Naval Base (Cost $10 Billion GNP. Costs $5 Billion to maintain). A naval base on a small island will provide us a presence in an area and a refueling point for our fleets.
- Build Industry ($X Billion GNP): (Minor Factory is $15 Billion) (Major Factory is $28 Billion) (Minor Shipyard is $15 Billion) (Major Shipyard is $25 Billion). Minor's take 1 year. Major's take 2.
- Modernize: ($X Billion GNP): Naval vessels can be modernized. Base price is $2 Billion GNP per category (Guns, Reliability, Engine, Armor), plus $1 Billion for every year. (So if you're updating 1895 Guns to 1900 it's $2+$5).

SOCIAL
- Build Great Work ($10 Billion GNP): For every extra $2 Billion GNP on top of the initial build cost, Unity increases by 1%.
- Appoint Commander ($5 Billion GNP): This will randomly generate a commander for your nation. That commander can then be assigned to a Fleet or an Army. They will be maintained in your dossier. You may have a limit of 10 Commanders. (PLEASE NAME THE COMMANDER).
- Build Monument ($X Billion GNP): For every $10 Billion GNP, this gives 1 Prestige.
* Building Ships For Other Nations: If a nation wants a ship built, and you offer your shipyards, they pay for the cost in GNP to you for the ship to be built, plus whatever additional price is negotiated.
Example: NATION A requests an Armored Cruiser be built in NATION B's shipyard. NATION A pays Nation B $8 Billion GNP for Armored Cruiser's GNP cost to NATION B, and NATION B on top of that requests an additional $2 Billion GNP for the service.
* Building a Ship: If you budget for a ship that takes more than 2 Turns, that price will be deducted for all budgets for all the years that ship is being constructed.

ETHNICITY SYSTEM
Ethnicities are divided into three categories:
Respected- Ethnicity is respected and generally preferred in certain specialized areas, but still closed off from some areas of power
Accepted - Accepted Ethnicity are tolerated, but not endorsed.
Oppressed - Ethnicity is oppressed and considered inferior to official groups.
Nations start out with one "Core" ethnicity that is considered National. Others are automatically oppressed unless upgraded or bought at nation start.
Effects (Per 10%. That means each modifier occurs every 10% of the population that ethnicity occupies).
-- Respected: +5% GNP. -2 Manpower/Year.
-- Accepted: -2% National Unity. +1% Tension, +2 Manpower/Year.
-- Oppressed: -3% National Unity, +2% Tension, +4 Manpower/Year. Oppressed Ethnicity are also likely to rebel or join attackers if they think they have a chance at a better situation.
