Awesome. Can't wait to start.

[gowia]

Okay a preliminary first post is up! I will be adding hiders with certain factions names on them. Please nobody else read these as they are private and would take away from the RP.

[Asura]

Is everybody gonna get those?

[gowia]

No, not all the time.

[Dedonus]

Two questions.

1st: Can we safely assume that our nation knows the existence of all other player nations?

2nd: About what should our first post be? And when are we allowed to make our first post?

[gowia]

Yes you can safely assume you know of all others, introduce your nation quickly and then just begin. Make deals, plan colonial expeditions, start recruitment. Anything you want. I will update the live nation statuses as the RP goes on so you all know what you have at the time.

EDIT: For example dedonus, you could begin recruiting more soldiers, inform Terheridon that you are 'rightful' owners of their gold mines, begin trade with the Kamalao Republi and set aside resources and people to send a colonial expedition to a location on the new land. (Just some examples. And of course I expect it to be written in Prose as your nation, not just a list.)

Are there any rules about recruitment?

[gowia]

Basicly give details on how you are going about doing it and I will decide how successful it is. With ship construction tell me here, in the OOC, how many ships and of what class you want to build and I will tell you the cost and time it will take.

[Asura]

Is it possible to overcome weaknesses our nations have over the course of the roleplay?

[gowia]

Put it in a hider marked 'GM'. Guyvexille. Yes traits can be gained and lost as the RP goes on.

EDIT: No, you cant. Just edit that post to be your nation's first post.

[Asura]

Hmm. How plentiful is information on nations? Like, even if I had no spies in a particular nation, would I know that they're unstable?

[gowia]

Yes you would, however if you do a hider with 'GM' you can inform me about subterfuge such as spying and if I deem it successful I will post you a hider with more info at a later date. Without spies you know the basics, Stable or unstable.

[Asura]

Annnd is it political instability, or economic instability?

[gowia]

Political, if you want economical you need some spies. Although you have basic like GDP, who is minted beyond belief and who can barely pay their bills etc.

[Dedonus]

@Sadko: Could you either pm or post your nation's pantheon and which city is the capital at the moment? I am planning on doing some Interpretatio graeca for my post (or a future post).

[Asura]

And then the nation exactly like mine did exactly what I was gonna do.

[Meth Quokka]

What are the various ship construction costs? I guess it'd have to be an IC response to claim the Sofon offer?

[gowia]

@ Asura Haha, well he has to watch out...I'm allowing all the warmongering for now but if he looks like he is gunna just steamroll the RP (Im sure he won't it's just a warning) then there will be some terrible incidents and events that my leave him open to others forming alliances against him or his entire economy collapsing. Who knows?;)

@ Kangaroo Depends on location, GDP, traits and your current Navy. For you...
500,000,000 ($) Ship of Line
300,000,000 ($) Frigate
100,000,000 ($) Schooner
50,000,000 ($) Sloop
10,000,000 ($) Brig

Yes it has to be an IC post.

What is it people say: "Great Minds think alike?" or "Fools seldom differ" I never remember.
