I assume, then that Helsie is playing the Barbary Coast states?

by **Helsing** Mon Apr 28, 2014 12:43 pm

I just got word that I was playing the pirates

by 99luftballons Mon Apr 28, 2014 8:33 pm

I understand that he essentially plays whatever pirates are in the world, though they mostly seem to be concentrated in Northern Africa at this time.

Ok, first off, I completed changing the maps from being outline maps to being physical maps today and I added an Antarctica map (maybe if we get far enough I get to create a moon map which would be amazing). In addition I got all the maps to link to each other, so you aren't constantly flipping back to the OOC after looking at one continent and going to another. The Antarctica map is not the only new thing though, for I have created a doc (linked from one of the physical maps) where you can ask questions and I can respond during my study halls (this works well between 6 AM and 4 PM on workdays).

Secondly, I still haven't heard much about the idea of playing two countries. Thoughts?

Finally, I new techs available:
1. Aztlan
2 and 16. Russia
3 and 15. Portugal
4. USA
5. Cuba
6. Japan
7 and 17. Britain
8 and 18. France
9 and 19. Germany
10. Scandinavia
11. Ottoman Empire
12 and 20. Austria Italy
13. Spain
14. One of the backwards countries/ people groups (Persia, Pirates, Church, Tatars)
The rolls will be for Tinned food, Miner's Lamp, Spectroscope, and the Photo.

Damn.

Also, I'm not opposed to the two-countries-per-player, but there should be a set of rules on this system.

by **Flagmauth** Tue Apr 29, 2014 11:43 am

Tatars OP plz nerfffffff

I don't think there needs to be a strict set of rules beyond the obvious no-metagaming. For example, Germany and France can't just suddenly ally and be best buddies and unify to conquer the world. Countries need to stay in-character and be reasonable.

by **A Blind Guy** Tue Apr 29, 2014 3:56 pm

ok guys, going to be cutting down of forumming for a while. I have a speech thing this weekend and all of my attention needs to be on it. henceforth, I am giving control of Portugal to Luft. until I return.

by 99luftballons Tue Apr 29, 2014 6:12 pm

OK, for all intents and purposes Portugal will just sit there and do nothing in particular.

Tatars OP?...

With playing two countries I was thinking of two rules (guidelines if you prefer)
1. Can't be two neighboring countries (AKA, can't be France and Spain at once), just because I think that would prevent much metagaming or would make it harder.
2. As Mycro mentioned, each country has a different personality. No "magically" being allies all of a sudden, unless it makes sense. I mean if someone plays Morocco and France it would make sense that they are allies (France having "liberated" Morocco). However, If someone plays China and Japan, China at this point would be afraid off Japan...so an alliance wouldn't necessarily work.

So, I think if anyone wanted to claim another country...I suppose first come first serve is in order. I'll ask you for feedback at the end-ish of May to see if you like it or not.

by **Flagmauth** Tue Apr 29, 2014 6:13 pm

CHINA

by **A Blind Guy** Tue Apr 29, 2014 6:13 pm

(gollum voice) Tatars, tatars precious!

by 99luftballons Tue Apr 29, 2014 6:15 pm

Tartars and Chinese. OK, I'll update the player country page once I get around to it.

[By the way, that went fast!]

by 99luftballons Tue Apr 29, 2014 6:25 pm

OK, here is what's going on in your "new" countries:

China: Coastal cities are all but claimed by Europeans and Japanese. Beijing is the capital, but the government is there because of German consent. China is pretty backwards technologically and socially.

Tatar(s): Mongolian-like tribe in Central Asia who with the initial victories against Russia have followers amongst the local tribes (they are secretly supplied by Ottomans with guns). They are very much into Persian territory, but also harassing the Russians who "disrespectfully" settled Central Asia. Tatars are also present in the westernmost reaches of China, but with China's current government the Tatars there already rule themselves.

by **Flagmauth** Tue Apr 29, 2014 6:27 pm

The Aztecs have a shark on their naval insignia now.

How should China go about industrializing? What would happen if I invited Western companies in?

by 99luftballons Tue Apr 29, 2014 6:34 pm

With China, I would try getting back your coastal cities (controlled by EU's) where the workforce would be. Otherwise try inviting investors who are probably going to be neutral (preferably Scandinavians, Danes or the likes) to build companies in larger inland cities like Xi'an and Lhasa. I think however the priority right now would be creating an efficient gov't.

by Sirius Lupin Tue Apr 29, 2014 7:59 pm

You guys know me: As my second country, I'll start a revolution in Greece.

by 99luftballons Tue Apr 29, 2014 8:00 pm

Well, to be honest I didn't expect that, but now that I think about it...I should've expected that.
