Alright.

My nation is going to atom-bomb everyone. Problems?

@Hael

Yeah, because I'm going to nuclear missile you first.

Anyway, I guess so on all the airship stuff. There should still be some limits on how much an airship can weigh, because for example 300 planes is way too many. I don't even think a modern sea aircraft carrier can carry that many.

A fellow Civ player I see.

If the interior of the ballon is made of many many many small compartments, and the skins of modestly armored material, it should take lots of hits.

@Voltus_Ventus

And the more compartments, the more walls of those compartments, and the more weight.

Though not as much as the exterior armor or weapons, it adds up over time.

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>I wouldn't mind if we would keep this at 1940ish levels but I can adopt if we do it differently.
I already adjusted my "main" interceptor's speed to mid-late WW2 prop levels (or somewhat above, just look at the engine to weight ratio) and added various hardpoint options which very a pretty typical thing by this time.

As for air motherships, there's nothing too off about them.
Mothership concept in itself is known since WW1. And we have a "super gas" lighter than hydrogen and noncombustible so there's even more reason to invest in airships. They seem to be pretty much the "thing" of this setting. I can barely count the nations who don't own them and the number of nations who arm them up like battleships is similarly large.
Voltus_Ventus for example has airships with armament similar to the Iowa battleship, although hopefully not as armored.

@Willy Vereb

The thing about this though is that amusingly everyone is forgetting the reason why people don't use airships for war (unless that is intentional):

You fire a cannon or a rocket at it, it pops, and your entire massive machine that you spent a billion dollars on falls out of the sky because there's no effective way to repair the breach and you can't put enough armor on it without weighing it down too much to move. You make the balloon bigger, you have to add more armor and you don't escape the same problem.

Airships should not be heavily armed for the simple reason that the more stuff you put on it, the more you lose when it gets destroyed. And how on earth could an airship support both an airstrip long enough to take off of and *checks character tab* 300 planes? Just seems a tad too unrealistic to me.

This is what it would theoretically look like, with everything else updated:



That blue bit is supposed to be the Ventium colony, it ended up slightly off-color somehow despite me using the dropper tool.

Just my opinion, either we should expand to fill the available space or let people join until it is full, or the world won't really feel complete.

The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

I feel like I want to claim the rest of my continent just to fill up the empty space.

Working on a nation.

Nice to see that every island territory has been pilfered by some random international gigapower.

The colonialism and assholishness is real.

EDIT: You might want to ditch the WWII-era technology limit. With that I'm seeing in the CT, we're at the Korean War/Vietnam War stage of military technology.

@ASTA

In our defense, there were very few islands to begin with. And I don't have any.

Between you and Alfhedil's gifs, I'm never going to be able to concentrate enough to write an IC post XD

On the tech dispute, I would argue to keep the limit because if you raise it people are just going to put up even more advanced stuff to account for it. And most of it doesn't lie that far out of WW2 if at all, though some things (like flying aircraft carriers) should probably be nipped in the bud.

Must have missed it, Hael.

What has been done here.

Also, since I am now the unofficial map custodian, Hael gets added tomorrow.

In all fairness, it is made of reed and bone.

However such armor I would imagine would leave plenty of open spots where a stone knife or spear could penetrate.

I find it amusing that you meet what is probably the oddest race first, that of course being the Platta.

<Snipped quote by Mihndar>

That's not very diplomatic.

@Elitestpotato

Nope. :)

I'm sure the Snow Brutes would love cat for breakfast.

@Elitestpotato

It's funny, because someone told me something very similar to that five years ago.

What happened, you might ask?

My race committed genocide.
