Nation Name: The Devil Ant Nests
Nation Race(s): Devil Ants (mutated ants)
Color: Blue
Fluff: The Devil ants were once ants carried over as food for colonists during the long trip to Nibiru. The colony did not survive, but the ants did. The ants mutated, gaining in size and complexity as well as overall intelligence shown in complex planning and operations. As well the Devil ants became more adept at noticing mutations within their number. This new species has created a nest where the old colony once stood, stretching deep and wide below the surface.

The trade goes through, and Nova America expands [+4 hex]!
[Altech]
The trades are sent, and the satellites are repositioned, awaiting command. AI research continues [5/10], and basic life-support systems are almost worked out [3/4].
[Afairika]
The air-force is scrambled {Where are you sending them? I must've missed something}! Power armor research is completed [Power Armor I], and the techs are sent to New Albion.

Scouting methods are improved [Scouting II], the search continues [4/5], and the data is exchanged. Improvements to the spawning site also begin [3/6].
[New Albion]
The trades to Machina are sent, a Heavy ship begins to be built [1/4], and construction of yet another village starts [2/6].
[Odab]
The technologies are sent [has been cleared with me in IRC], and though an armory begins [3/4], there isn't any progress on the artillery unit.
[Free Army]
The scorching operation completes, the tech package is sent, and an artillery unit is being made [3/4]. A unit of Snipers begins training as well [2/6].
[Mad Medicine]
The Corporation has a better handle on genetics now [Genetics III]. The tech is sent to the Confederation, and the cloning program is nearly complete [4/5].
[Machina]
The Clockwork men undergo their yearly upgrades [3/6 {Would be helpful if you only listed new techs}], and construction begins on a new batch [3/5].
[Devil Ants]
Work on the mega-structure continues slowly [4/25], the ants are bred for better electrosensitivity [II], yet another breeding program begins [2/4], and a new mutation is found... these larvae have much longer legs than their predecessors [Speed I].

Nation Name: The United State of Imperial Nova America
Nation Race(s): Pure GeneModded Humans
Color: Red
Fluff: Sent with the Fairies of Freedomia, these were the best America had to offer and were programmed with a secret protocol upon entering atmosphere to orbit the planet for a period of time before landing and beginning colonizing. A republic was determined to not be able to function efficiently once other planets were able to be colonized and fought over with ease and so they were sent here to form a new government and ferry resources and new technology to give america an edge for the transition. When they found out the planet was cut off, they decided to form an Imperial type of government and set about freeing the planet.

1. Now, one more test barrage before we are sure everything is well-calibrated. It may be not rocket science, but Artillery is still far more complicated than guns
Workshop I, Garage I, Mobile II, Engineering I, Tactics II, Aiming I, Ballistics II
Just to make it clear - I'm not building artillery, but researching Artillery I tech.
2. On the slide is standard NTW-20. Some of you might know this antique, yet still reliable gun for being able to take down AFVs from a distance shoulder-mounted rocket systems can only dream about. And on the stant is what our boys from Ballistics managed to work out based on the design. Goes through plasmasteel, while standard bipod is still enough to stabilise the barrel. Here, Sergeant, pick it up... See? That's why it's considered a team weapon. Will take down a tank if required and still comes with less recoil than your anti-personel rifles. And in case of being used again live targets... [2/4]

I have good news, bad news, and good news on the bad news. The good news is that we've hit another milestone, and have come one step closer to our ultimate goal and as promised we'll continue to push the boundaries. The bad news is that our trading partners have had delays causing their end of the bargain not to have arrived yet. The good news about that however is that everything is FINALLY on its way, and we should receive them by the next funding period. Now, get back to work, we got SCIENCE to to do!

Nation Name: The Taach Okaan
Nation Race(s): cyborg goblins
Color: green
Settlements: Dheer Halaan(HQ)
Fluff: The Taach Okaan (Steel Ones) were once part of a great Bio-ship, a self contained biosphere contained within a large ship, the creators of which where long disappeared. Originally mindless like many of the creatures on the ship, the Taach Okaan evolved to sentience over the course of the ships long journey. Gripped with a powerful curiosity, they soon began tinkering with the ships workings itself, damaging the navigation systems. Eventually the damage from the goblins incessant reverse engineering and cannibalising of the ships engine led the ship to crash on a strange world known as Nibiru. Some of the goblins and exotic life of the ship survived, and spilled out onto the planets surface. Their curiosity as powerful as ever, the Taach Okaan began constructing a new civilisation.

[Curiousity]: The Taach Okaan are curious creatures, but once they've grasped something, that curiousity soon fades; they receive a bonus to discovering new technology, but suffer penalties when trying to improve old technology.
[Tinkerers]: Though the Taach Okaan deeply love finding out how things work, putting that knowledge into practical applications is a bit harder for them; they would rather break things down.

A man whom stank of cigar residue garbed in a dusky set of attire approched the gates of Research Station Alpha near the dead of midnight. In his arms, an unassuming suitcase. After conversing with security, he eventually made his way through into the deeper part of the lab complex, approaching Doctor Brown.
"Greetings from Afairika, Doctor Brown. Your progress in satellites and telecommunications is; rather impressive. Your science team back at Freedomia have made some great strides in the field of- energy, and have come to profess a theory? I'll spare you words, Doctor, when I can show you the details."
The man opened up his suitcase to reveal a wealth of documents.
"They call it, the "Detroit Project"."
>>48297170
Ayy more greenskins, wot say you gubbins stop muckin about and join us here greenskins
What's it you prepose exactly?
>>48294273
A fairy came approching the Governor's Manor within New Albion. Compared to Freedomia, Albion was a more temperate place; there were less space-bugs and blistering heat to deal with, and during this time of year she would say it was all in all not a bad place to live in.
"Hey, Governor! Mister Governor, you there? I'm from Afairika, here to give you some important information!" She held several sheets of paper in her hands, though being illiterate, she didn't really know what they entailed beyond them being important.
>>48297324
Oi I Propose an alliance ov da greenskinz so tha Boyz can become the meanest and the greenest
>>48297748
Iz agree to dis alliance of yours so wez can get stronger...anything else you wantz?
>>48297694
Prince Gregory personally accepted the papers, but then spoke to the fairy.
"Please, stay a while and share some tea. At new Albion we must insist that everyone who visits have something to eat."
An assortment of sweet gourmet cookies and tea with sides of sugar, honey, cinnamon and more were arrayed in the splendor of New Albion's food surplus.
>>48297834
Nah not for now, anything you want to trade grot?
>>48297908
No wez good
I quit. Wheelie, don't count me in the next turn and remove me instantly from the game.
I've simply realised how bad my position and situation is, so no point trying
>>48297988
Newt, You're being an alarmist. No one is out to kill you. The alliances probably will not last, and with a smidgeon of imagination I could use your current technology to drop half the players in this game.
>>48297988
So much for getting Scouting and Leadership
>>48297840
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcbUcxoRnyM
The fairy's eyes brightened as she glanced upon the assortment of sweets before her. A diet of corn, wheat, and various forms of tuber left the pallets of the Afairikans ever seeking out anything that didn't just grow out of the ground. She gasped.etiquette
"Wh- where did you get those?"
Taking seat, the fairy displayed a type of instinctual etiquette, sipping the tea with a dainty touch. "I wasn't really given the specifics, but a set of fairies are migrating into your territory, your Majesty. They say it's to teach you magic- erhm, leylines. We're not supposed to call it that according to the scientists, but that's what it is! I don't even understand a word of this leyline nonsence, but apparently it helps humans understand?"
Oh goodness! She thought; she was speaking to a Prince! This was awesome, yet it also made her quite nervous!
>>48297988
Wait Mister Newt, don't go! We just reached an understanding with each other! If you leave, I won't have anyone to complete against in the literacy race~!
If you'd just asked, we would have helped you with a smile!
>>48298199
The Prince sipped his tea listening intently, almsot curiously at the fairies at the same time trying guage her.
It was clear she was versed in etiquette, at the same time he couldn't rightly. . .tell her age. He presumed any fairy they would send on government business would be an adult for their species, but due to her looks he had to resist the temptation to speak as though he were speaking to a little girl or a child.
"We will welcome them with open arms and open minds to learn whatever they have to teach." spoke the prince.
"As for the food, why, food is practically currency to us. We pledged that no man, woman, or child should ever go hungry the moment they step into our borders. In turn, we have plenty of opportunity to expand our palate with various dishes.
And sweets."
The Prince partook of another jammy dodger, his personal favorite.
"In a world far too focused on warfare, industry, and power we thought it might do good for somebody to remember the essences of polite society and culture. And every culture must eat.
Which reminds me, we haven't been able to focus too much on our tourism program but we have made efforts. Feel free to visit our sweetshop at the railstation on your way home. Just show them your badge, I'll pay the tab for anything you'd like to take home with you."
>>48298454
Twirling a lock of her greenish hair without even noticing it, when the fairy saw the Prince staring at her, she took a moment to gauge herself before noticing her fidgeting and abruptly stopped.
"I wish we could say the same, but Colonel Max Volume says we must continue military build-up: make his men more planes, use our magic to power his planes, and whenever we offer to help him directly, he always tells us to get back to either more research or farming. Sometimes, it seems like he's the person that really runs Afairika, and Miss Governess is just a...a person that doesn't actually run it! I think it's rather rude, though I've never told anybody about it, and I know it's bad to say bad things about your superiors. Yet, all she's been trying to do is keep the American spirit alive, and he always goes about stamping that out for "more bombers" or "more guns". I just don't understand him at times!
Now that you mention it, we were meaning to open trade with you, but that project got cancelled as soon as the call for more bombers was made. If Miss Governess had known you had all these sweets, she would have probably pushed harder to get it through!"

Realizing the rising tensions in the world and fearing for the future of both the Colony and his homeland, it was time to formally re-establish a temporary Air Force Special Operations Command on Nibiru in order to oversee the safety of the Colony and ensure a return to Earth. Hand picking his best engineers and aviators, they have established a forwards operation base in order to conduct addtional developments in research and security without the constant interruptions/having to interrupt the local government. In a world gone mad, Spec. Ops hope to retain some vistage of sanity and control. Any Time, Any Place.

Nation Name: The Devil Ant Nests
Nation Race(s): Devil Ants (mutated ants)
Color: Blue
Fluff: The Devil ants were once ants carried over as food for colonists during the long trip to Nibiru. The colony did not survive, but the ants did. The ants mutated, gaining in size and complexity as well as overall intelligence shown in complex planning and operations. As well the Devil ants became more adept at noticing mutations within their number. This new species has created a nest where the old colony once stood, stretching deep and wide below the surface.

Eccentricities:
[Wild Lands]: With their lack of a foothold, Altech has a slightly harder time expanding, but the surrounding lands are still uncorrupted.
[Not Interested]: The plundering of Nibiru's resources isn't much of a priority to Altech, but the planet does seem to react with their AI in weird, often beneficial, ways.

Ordinator Steelbeard watched from high up from the House of Lords as Machina's companies of clockwork men marched out of Machina Prime.
"They aren't ready." he hears from behind him. he turns to Ordinator Lockhaus Smithson, the gnome in charge of Research and development.
"And you say this because?"Steelbeard queries.
"The armor is not done, they don't move as fast as they should and they're marching straight into the enemy's teeth!" Smithson fired back quickly. "They'll be slaughtered. wholesale."
Steelbeard shook his head and smiled. "I think not my friend. Their armor is a sight heavier than anything that has been sued to date, and while slower than we'd like they still make great speed. Also they have heavy weapons to crush just about anything on land, sea or air that tries to hurt them. I think you're underestimating them Smithson."
"B-b-but, we've done no testing of the new designs and-"
"The enemy will not sit idly by, any tests we make will be on the field of battle. I expect the next that is production already to be revised for any flaws we find in the old systems. The Free Army need to be brought to hell now, lest they go on the offensive against us all."
"Yes, Head Ordiantor Steelbeard."
"Smithson?"
"Yes?"
"You have free reign on resources for that improved armor."
"Thank you sir."
Smithson strode out saying, "I want more power for our foundries, we have armor to improve!"

"Roger that General; my men are preparing for takeoff. You have any specific objectives in mind beyond bombing the fellas?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHIBVnJdxyk
The situation had gone critical. A number of the engineers were silently protesting, feeling that it was hardly correct to send their men off in museum pieces when better designs were just around the corner, yet the funny thing about wars were the fact that they were often fought with the forces the participants currently had at hand; and not the ones they necessarily desired. Lt. Colonel Hank D. Morgans led the formation, his VE-7 Bluebird's engine screaming ahead as they began heading west. Thanks to efforts from Altech, the whole group was outfitted with functional communications, a luxury that their ancestors flying in the same craft would have not possessed.
"This is Blue Leader to Blue Squardron: fly ahead and screen the field; if you encounter hostiles, open fire; we've got the skies, and reports that their AA abilities are limited. Red Squadron; look out for "metal men", those are friendlies; you keep that in mind too, Blue Squadron. Relaying further commands as they come. Over."
Mad Twister opened up the radio full of glee.
"Roger that, Blue Leader, Blue Three is ready to kick some hostile rear! Out."
The farther up into the skies the group went, the more apparent became Nibiru's alien landscape. They were flying off to the wild blue yonder; probably the first to do so on this planet.

Nation Name: The United State of Imperial Nova America
Nation Race(s): Pure GeneModded Humans
Color: Red
Fluff: Sent with the Fairies of Freedomia, these were the best America had to offer and were programmed with a secret protocol upon entering atmosphere to orbit the planet for a period of time before landing and beginning colonizing. A republic was determined to not be able to function efficiently once other planets were able to be colonized and fought over with ease and so they were sent here to form a new government and ferry resources and new technology to give america an edge for the transition. When they found out the planet was cut off, they decided to form an Imperial type of government and set about freeing the planet.

Color: green
Settlements: Dheer Halaan(HQ)
Fluff: The Taach Okaan (Steel Ones) were once part of a great Bio-ship, a self contained biosphere contained within a large ship, the creators of which where long disappeared. Originally mindless like many of the creatures on the ship, the Taach Okaan evolved to sentience over the course of the ships long journey. Gripped with a powerful curiosity, they soon began tinkering with the ships workings itself, damaging the navigation systems. Eventually the damage from the goblins incessant reverse engineering and cannibalising of the ships engine led the ship to crash on a strange world known as Nibiru. Some of the goblins and exotic life of the ship survived, and spilled out onto the planets surface. Their curiosity as powerful as ever, the Taach Okaan began constructing a new civilisation.

The fairy spoke in between sips, momentairly fumbling with her cup a moment at the mention of the lack of defense at Albion and almost spilling the beverage before making a hasty save.
"I thought you were a fully equipped military presence? The security team back at Freedomia have had big shoes to fill in; they defend not only all of your territory, but Research Station Alpha as well as Afairika! It's good luck that they already had the motions drilled into them and they weren't a bunch of barnies like those Altechs, but I think all that worrying might be why the Colonel acts so pushy. If he really is the only military we have, then it makes more sense why he's always jumpy.
I heard that the guy causing you trouble is really jumpy too. Governess raised a bunch of fairies to join our army, but the Colonel denied using them. Says it's too dangerous! I think he might be correct, but I think going into battle with those aircraft is even more dangerous..."

Courtier Name: AFSOC
Courtier Race: Humans
Courtier of Afairika
Fluff: Colonel Maxwell Vol expected to enter Nibiru as a NASA security agent. He wasn't so optimistic as to think nothing would go wrong, but the stranding from Earth and disaster of a landing have shaped his views in comparison to the rest of Afairika. Realizing the rising tensions in the world and fearing for the future of both the Colony and his homeland, it was time to formally re-establish a temporary Air Force Special Operations Command on Nibiru in order to oversee the safety of the Colony and ensure a return to Earth. Hand picking his best engineers and aviators, they have established a forwards operation base in order to conduct additional developments in research and security without the constant interruptions/having to interrupt the local government. In a world gone mad, Spec. Ops hope to retain some vestige of sanity and control. Any Time, Any Place.

You who claim to care about the sake of the "living". Who claim to be concerned of the hunger.
Yet you actively trade them military technology, empower them and and make dealings.
That the undead themselves are of a threat to the world has yet to be seen, they have not made hostilities on others.
Indeed you have been more viscious than them. Attacking and killing unarmed settlers and civilians, declaring war on a peaceful nation state, conquering and raiding their lands, burning down homes and villages that would have gladly cooperated with you.
Hunger has not done an iota of harm to the world at large. Yet, even were they this threat you so purport them to be your actions have proven only that you do not intend in the slightest to prevent this from happening.
Threaten to give them your technology? You may as well do it now. You are already!

7) Classic Anglo Bullshit: Part I lost count
Then, being a classic Brit, he sends auxiliary forces on me, while sipping tea himself. First of course arming them to the teeth.
All because he just don't get the basic concept of "stay the fuck up".
I feel nothing but contempt and I don't mind this war at all. He wanted it - he has it.
I don't care how much of this shit was done as part of some stupid roleplay. I know one thing - when I say "back the fuck up", I mean it.
>>48307624
Once but a short while ago, the British were faced with a similar dilemma.
An aggressor, who so desiring to claim to the territory his surrounding neighbors, unable to take them through peace took them through war.
In those times, the British faltered. We appeased them, let them take more land, thought that if we simply turned our attention elsewhere, turned a blind eye, and made all efforts not to antagonize that he would be satiated.
We were wrong, and not until the aggressor was at the very gates of our land did we react. And the world was plunged into a period of violence and destruction hiterto unseen.
As man once said "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
If we are to die fighting evil in whatever form of man, or beast, then it has been a life worth living for.

>>48308102
The difference between units:
Militia
Start with no fighting bonus, but is also upkeep free. Can be later upgraded or made new. Militia units up to +.6 bonus are upkeep free. Anything above +.6 bonus will require upkeep.
Professional
Starting professional unit comes with +1 bonus and is consumer 1 food and 1 currency per turn. No point getting them, since in no time you will be able produce better units (or even right from the start with right starting techs), the upkeep is horrendous and the fighting bonus is subpar. It's better to start with more militia and upgrade it right in the first turn than waste points on professional starter.
Naval
Well, it's a vessel with water-moving capabilities. Whatever it will be fluffed as, it literally doesn't matter. Also not worth it price.
Should I continue on unit production and upkeep, because rules completely gloss those over and getting infromation was pretty much try-and-error combined with nagging the OP for basic infromation.
>>48308102
watching the game as a bystander i'd recommend the north west area just past albion. it's been one of the more peaceful nations, and unlike the fairies, altech, or mad medicine isn't next door with by zombies, orks, and giant ants to south sea
also try the arctic or antarctic. distance helps to keep from being attacked

I take offense for that. Everything is true, this is bullshit.

>>48308306
No you literally insult the QM repeatedly and act in general as an unpleasant asshole. "the rules are not clear you shit" etc. Which did factor into me wanting to kill you. Not enough on it's own, but when chased New albion into my arms it gave me the perfect IC and OOC excuse.
>>48308339

Go for it.
>>48308339
Just go ahead, write down your nation and post it
>>48308354
Because the rules aren't clear, you shit. If I need to ask 21 questions about military alone to get it moving, then the rules aren't clear.
And nice knowing I'm being called names by a real, pure-blood asshole. This makes the whole war even more enjoyable. Because you must be aware we are going to fight it with very expensive militia, due to barely any power disparity. And since it's all up to blind chance - guess what happens if your rolls turn out bad. Because I don't care if I'm raped by all you champs. But it will be really, really enjoyable to shovel you down with your own shit.
>>48308389
instead of asking 21 questions, you do the normal thing and go to the IRC so you only have to ask 3 because it's a lot easier to get straight answers for questions and basic information.
no one says the pastebin has to be all encompassing and not just a guideline (which is what it is). answering questions is what irc and talking to the GM exists for.
>>48308432
I've stated it twice and I will repeat third, last one:
IRC is not an option. If a game runner can't provide transparent and clear rules or explain them in public - it's his fault, not mine. It doesn't matter where the questions are asked, because exactly the same questions would be asked.
In short - go fuck yourself too.
>>48308454
here's something interesting to consider
every time you make a reply, on thread, it takes up on entire post.
in the IRC you can have, you know, a real time conversation that doesn't waste space.
the IRC is a public source of information. It's not barred to anyone.
>>48308454
>GM says repeatedly to use the IRC to contact him and get information, putting it in the OP
>Claims it's the GM's fault for doing the thing he says he wants to do
>>48308483
It makes no fucking difference. At all. You are trying to say what? Reading 21 closed-ended questions in single post takes more time than reading 21 questions posted one by one in chat?
Are you out of your fucking mind?!
And the thread is public. IRC is auxiliary chat to the main game, no archive and no nothing.
>>48308496
GM was informed from ground one I'm not going to use IRC, but whatever, I get it. "You are not nice, so we will bang you".
Ever occured to any of you why I'm an asshole for you? Because you just don't fucking listen! I said "stay the fuck out" and what I've got? A fucking war with half of players in it, while the official reason is me being a warmonger from preventing an Expansionist from clawling all over the map. This is just bullshit, but I will take it.
And it will be really, really fun when Machina offensive goes to shit.

yes, replying to questions on the IRC is and always will be more faster and more efficient than on the IRC.
because especially close ended (Yes/No) questions typically leave a need for actual clarification and exposition. this is a lot easier done in an actual conversation, and again does not waste post space.
it's common sense that a real time conversation has more capacity for information exchange than forum posting
>>48308555
you can claim to be fighting off aggressive imperialism, the righteouness of your cause, or how you're fighting to claim territory that's yours. You can even be an IC asshole in character, that's perfectly acceptable

And I claim nothing. I'm not allowing Red Albion crawl all over me. That's all I care about.
And if players go for me on shitty reasons like "Because you are unpleasant asshole, so I'm going to kill you" with 4 guys strong gang because they don't like my attitude... well then I hardly see a reason why not being an asshole OOC too.

Oh, and before you go ahead once again - those question eat out a grand total of 2 posts over 2 threads. Both times working as a bump.

>>48308669
i'll give you that asking questions on thread can be okay too, and for the sake of bumping
but if you're constantly struggling with the rules to the point that you're getting angry at the GM you shouldn't be complaining at all when you refuse to do the easiest thing to get answers.
>>48308640
Wow, you literally can not read. Like at all. I said it was a contributing factor, but not nearly enough on it's own. What fucked you was you made no allies, insulted and belittled everyone til people called you on your shit and started arraying against you, and attack someone who gave you a 2 hex or more buffer zone, not nearly encircling, and fought over rights for access to another PC like he(I) was your bitch. That's why you're getting attacked, because you've been an idiot and fucked over every political bridge to save yourself.
I've played with assholes before. I played in games ran by assholes before. Being an asshole in of itself won't get you fucked. Being an asshole attack people for next to reason except an OOC hatred for a national group who has a lot of allies will.

You were literally NOTHING for me. I couldn't care less about your existence. But when a guy does a worm-crawl through the map and NOBODY is even trying to stop that, well then it's about time to react when he's right next to my borders. Becaus having him from one side of the borders is managable. Being literally surrounded by them within next ten turns is not.
But hey, nice knowing you considered yourself meaningful or important in the "grand" scheme of stopping Albion from controlling half of the map.
You literally are salty for not being invited for a party. This is adult-only board. What are you still doing here?

the game has a lot bigger threats than what is essentially a nation of colonials. . .trying to colonize land and make farms from what I can tell.

or giant ants
or orks
or fairies with magical death stars
>>48308914
Yeah, I know, everybody in the irc thinks you're a cunt and makes jokes at your expense, so there's also that. You're being meta'd breddy hard, even the OP is glad you're being attacked, though I think that's mostly cuz there hasn't been much war at all and he wants to test his system.
>>48308941
Wow, getting useful, single tech for single tech is now a crime and "feeding". Apparently whoring technology withing the alliance doesn't count, because those are "the good guys".
But I will feed the techs if it comes to it. Best deterrent - make the real threat even bigger. Because being dead, I will have nothing to fear about anymore, while leaving everyone else with a problem to deal.
>>48308861
>Ash being the voice of reason
The Rapture is upon us!
>>48309014
trying to use the threat of dumping them tech is a moot point if it's evident you'd be willing to do it regardless of the outcome
as albion said, you're already doing it and are gonna do it so why bother
>>48309119
>You are already doing it
I've traded with them single tech. The one I fucking needed.
And you want to know why? Because I was ALREADY AT FUCKING WAR WITH THE ALLIANCE. Who else I was going to ask for military tech? Armies I'm fighting with?
And apparently all crimes are equal, so desperately looking for any help I can get apparently makes me the bad guy. Not the other side, ganging on me for "not being nice".
Or single trade exchange is the same as dumping, free of any charge, all my know-how. Because there is no difference, right?
Besides, I will ally with Hell if that will profit me. It's called opportunism, son. You should check it.
>>48308205
Looks like I have some time on my hands, so I'll try to get you statted :^)

>>48309174
>It's called opportunism, son
you literally rejected a nation offering themself up to you, one of the larger ones with a lot of resource gathering potential, in favor of attacking them and being labeled (rightly so) a warmonger.

With notice that something was coming from the rot lands soldier drones were brought to the edge of active territory in order to dissuade the invaders from going further. The ants screeched and chitered in the direction of the diplomat, blocking them from moving forward.

Color: Purple
Fluff: After a warlike, tyrannical empire collapsed from over-extension and numerous revolts, the remnants of its military, along with a group of human-weapon experiments, landed on the surface of this planet and decided to form a society that didn't make the last one's mistakes. This society, on the surface and up to the second highest levels of government office as well, it is an egalitarian representative democratic republic for all peoples of mankind. In reality it is ruled by an aristocratic elite of said human experiments and the military that employs policies of population control, purges, forced inequality and state capitalism in order to regulate human behavior.
Nevertheless, it invites all humans to join them in their free utopia bent on ridding the world of human suffering.

The emissary points to the giant food farm construction waaaay in the distance in ant lands.
And then back to the uranium minds far in the distance of Hunger lands.
And then gives the ants a thumbs up.
The emissary then takes a block of ore and signals one of his guards to take a hunk of flesh of his bones. The two trade with each other, imitating the idea of a transaction.
Communicating with ants is proving to be harder than anticipated. Hopefully they understand.

Now I've got 9 Currency and hell lot of rolls that need it.
Add 9 Currency to action 1, that should be right enough to get +2 progress instead of 1.
Even if Snipers are tempting with their "only" 8 currency to get +3 progress.
Now I doubt it works like that for me, since I'm not building robots, but there is nothing else to try...
Add 9 Power and 9 Ore to action 2.
Who knows, maybe it DOES work
>>48309863
Come to think about it:
Add 25 Power and 25 Ore to action 4. It's a bunch of vehicles and artillery pieces after all. Assuming it will work, either of those two should push the progress from +3 to +4. Of, if both apply, that's +5 in total, making the unit finished in single bound.

>>48312206
So in your opinion, who spiked to 72 first?
Nation Name: The Taach Okaan
Nation Race(s): cyborg goblins
Color: green
Settlements: Dheer Halaan(HQ)
Fluff: The Taach Okaan (Steel Ones) were once part of a great Bio-ship, a self contained biosphere contained within a large ship, the creators of which where long disappeared. Originally mindless like many of the creatures on the ship, the Taach Okaan evolved to sentience over the course of the ships long journey. Gripped with a powerful curiosity, they soon began tinkering with the ships workings itself, damaging the navigation systems. Eventually the damage from the goblins incessant reverse engineering and cannibalising of the ships engine led the ship to crash on a strange world known as Nibiru. Some of the goblins and exotic life of the ship survived, and spilled out onto the planets surface. Their curiosity as powerful as ever, the Taach Okaan began constructing a new civilisation.

Eccentricities:
[Curiousity]: The Taach Okaan are curious creatures, but once they've grasped something, that curiousity soon fades; they receive a bonus to discovering new technology, but suffer penalties when trying to improve old technology.
[Tinkerers]: Though the Taach Okaan deeply love finding out how things work, putting that knowledge into practical applications is a bit harder for them; they would rather break things down.

The group was closing into the point marked to be the enemy's base of operations. Lt. Colonel Hank D. Morgans was relayed the information and informed the squadrons in response.
"This is Blue Leader to Red Squadron; update on the mission. You are to bomb their centers of military production: in other words, their barracks. Group Alpha, keep high in the skies everybody; we're not to directly engage them until friendlies have arrived. Over."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec0XKhAHR5I
The bays of the MB-1 and MB-2s opened up to release crude. but functional incendiaries upon the area bellow, targeting the supposed barracks complex as well as any units stationed inside of them.
(High level bombing run; only engaging in bombardment this turn.)
>>48312763
Forgot accompanying picture.
>>48312616
In general?
Machina moving all troops, turning a minor and insignificant border dispute into an open war. That's how WW1 was started, you know? And nobody won it.
Directly?
The most recent orbital bombardment. I mean... that's not even 72. That's 720. The fighting won't start till next turn, units are just marching or being made... BANG! Orbital bombardment!
>>48312810
I would think attacking someone then pulling a Sherman on their lands would have been the disproportionate response.
>>48312836
Nah, that was just part of the "Hey, this is my hex" "No, this is my hex!". And the land was handled to Machina, which declined. Still nothing more than a squabble. Sherman focused on installations, not just grass burning.
But bringing to that entire military might of a nation - that's level 72.
>>48312890
Except it was only to handled to Machina provided Machina let the Free army keep attacking it's protectorate. Which was not going to happen, so it got burned instead out of spite. It and all the people in it.
>>48312946
... still around level 10. 12, maybe. It involved mostly diplomacy, insults and single, basic militia unit.
That's why there is a sharp jump in escalation from military power of 1 to 161, using the measurement from world events. It's not gradual at all.
>>48313050
You forget to factor in the FA's steadfast refusl to admit wrong, hurling of vitriol and insults and vowing to attack more people if given time. The army was marched much like back in the first gulf war to stop a tyrant from attacking an ally. Said tyrant being completely unreasonable decides to fight to the death and threatens to do his best to kill everyone else if possible. That warrants bombardment.
>>48313050
If it was gradual, it would be about sending single unit with power around 20, crush the militia and stop the hostilities, instead of all out invasion with everything at hand and entire alliance mobilised.
So a classic case of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut
>>48313101
You just can't be serious.
So a reasonable reaction for a buzzing fly is to nuke the site from where the buzzing comes from? That's how it sounds. It's unreasonable. It's irresponsible, too.
It's basically "I use my sword of beification and beify the guy!". Or the two Greeks hacking each other with their swords.
This escalated quickly indeed. It went straight from "I'm mad at you" saber rattling to dropping not!nukes on cities.
>>48313101

Fuck this game and your stupid argument, but Jesus Christ, take some pills, mate. Or cut down Fox News intake.
>>48313162
>>48313192
Issue is you're comparing an individual with nations. A man with a knife threatening someone is not the same as a militia unit burning vast tracts of land set aside for colonisation. Judging by Cassus Belli, Free Army has not got a just war, and Machina does.
>>48312890
>Nah, that was just part of the "Hey, this is my hex" "No, this is my hex!"
>>48313162
>>48313192
I think you're both forgetting the fact that albion settled the land, and then the Free Army came in and literally killed all the civilians and burned down the settlements to the ground.
>>48313206
It wasn't even a war.
And you are defending the kid with sharp pencil. Congrats. I guess the orbital bombardment by 3rd party was also justified?
>>48313208
It's a map hex. It has zero value. It was taken over by a militia unit with power and value of 1.
Against it was sent army in power of 160.
You are putting too much fluff and imagination into something that quick calculation can easily call "quick and absurd escalation of conflict that could be entirely avoided".
>>48313240

No thank you
this game would just be Risk without it

>Not understanding what escalation is
Yep, I'm most definitely done here.
>>48313240
>You are putting too much fluff and imagination into something
Opinion rejected
>>48313252
Even if you fluff it out, it's still absurd. It's a war about empty land in the middle of nowhere that holds zero value and was already cindered.
What is this? Twilight 2000?
>>48313240
>Killing hundreds of settlers, declaring war on a protectorate, and building up a military is not an actual war!
Alright sure. So several miscellaneous small towns get firebombed into ashes and kill
thousands, it's not an act of war. Gotcha.
>Too much imagination and fluff
If we didn't want to have actual character to our nation we'd play risk. This isn't risk.
>>48313286
It had people on it who were brutally killed, it was a blatant attack on a protectorate. It'd be like Canada taking North Dakota and killing everyone in it. Nothing of value is lost but it's still an open call to war.
>>48313283
>Being emotional about purely mathematical game centered around increasing numbers
No wonder you can't notice the escalation of the conflict done by Machina player or the stupidity of it in the first place, since nobody considers using lesser options than the best and strongest possible attack.
Which is exactly the point of the video. You should watch it, even if it's Lindybeige
>>48313286
> It's a war about empty land in the middle of nowhere that holds zero value and was already cindered.
Auschwitz had no strategic value either, and by the time the Germans were finished with it it was almost burned to the ground.
That really isn't the point of these sorts of things.
>>48313312
1) Nobody was killed. The population remained unchanged. What changed is map colour. You are literally imagining thing that never happend
2) Nobody declared any war
3) The conflict was already ongoing before the formation of the alliance
4) Free Army wasn't building military units since 2nd thread of the game, creating a single Infiltration unit. Machina was building military units since 2nd thread and basically centered its activity on building military-industrial complex, creating more and better units all the time.
Get your facts right. I might be just an observer of this game and you are most likely one of the players, but it's not really hard to read over the threads and check facts.
And could you please stop making ridiculous comparisons leaning toward ad hominems about the whole "Risk" thing?
>>48313316
>Being emotional about purely mathematical game centered around increasing numbers
Sure
Kurtz does it all the time
>>48313240
No, it is a war. Its simply a war between a competent military and a strong alliance of different groups. This is like Gadaffi's syria declaring war on a member of NATO, then acting surprised when they get stomped into the ground.
> IM defending the kid with the sharp pencil.
No. Free Army was told that the border would not expand towards them, an exclusion zone was made, then Free Army attacked anyway, and tried to buy off Machina with the land. Thats a kid being told he'll be left alone, then running over and stabbing the kid who just offered to share his sweets with him.
>>48313370
It's blatantly obvious that probably most of the "anons" currently chatting right now are players, including yourself.
Doubtless, if we just decide to throw fluff out the window and treat this as pure game mechanics that completely devalues the point.
The Free Army specifically made actions to burn, pillage, and kill all in their path. They have done so, and now the effort is made to show the world this sort of action will not be tolerated.
