Interesting, rarely used setting (early 20th Century)

Good mix of strategy and management gameplay, but with simple rules

Semi-freeform diplomacy (and backstabbings!)

All of the above

I'm just forum game addict and gotta play'em all

[Haspen]

Harb: I snipped my turn cuz:

A) You can't build two things per turn in 1 province
B) You can't build in Province #7 because Taricus already built there this turn v:

[Haspen]

Kashyyk, HQ counts into Improvements' limit, which for you is 3, nor 4 improvements per turn v:

[Sheb]

Could you put names on the map? I keep getting confused.

[Aseaheru]

Or put their names in their colors under it.
That may be easier if theres a war on...

[Haspen]

Could you put names on the map? I keep getting confused.

Okay, next turn map will have names on it.

EDIT: Also, this is gonna be rolled into next, 'proper' game:

Spoiler: UPDATE 1 (click to show/hide)

Update 1:

GAMEPLAY&MAP:

Game starts at Turn 0 (called 'Pre-1900'). During this turn, players are allowed to:
A) Set up diplomatic ties with other Players and/or NPCs
B) Deploy armies in their provinces; 50% of armies (rounded up) can be deployed while the rest stays at Capital (so if you have 5 armies, you can deploy 3 armies anywhere in your Nation, and 2 armies have to remain in Capital).

After all Players finish pre-game diplomacy and army deployment, game starts proper with Turn 1 (Year 1900.1).

RESEARCH:

Sciences:

(Modern Chemistry) -> Modern Biology -> Fertilizers
                                     -> Modern Medicine

Modern Biology (150 RP):
The unveiling of chemistry secrets allow biologists to look more closely into anatomy, nature of diseases and processes that run the organism.

Fertilizers (250RP):
Improvement of existing organic and development of artificial fertilizers to increase food output. You gain +1 to Max Army limit per every 4 Provinces you control.

Modern Medicine (150RP):
Development of new ways to combat various diseases that plague the populace. Your provinces are now safe from Typhus outbreaks.

FORMALIZED DIPLOMACY:

War - Obviously, the two powers fight each other
Non-Aggression Treaty - Borders are mutually respected between the two nations. This allows Trade Pact and Research Treaty to be conducted.
Trade Pact - Borders are open for circulation of resources, crafts, products and migration of people. Both nations gain +1 Max Army bonus and +1 PI per Turn bonus per 15 Provinces they control together (for example, Nation X has 13 Provinces and Nation Y has 17 Provinces. 13+17 = 30 /15 = +2 bonus to max army/PI per Turn).
Research Treaty - Exchange of scientific reports and visits of foreign scientists. Both sides of the treaty gain +1RP per 3 Academies they control together (for example, Nation X has 4 academies and Nation Y has 5 academies. 4+5 = 9 /3 = +3 RP to both).
Alliance - Two nations form an alliance: armies of the two powers can cross each nation's provinces without problem. Airfields (when available) of one nation benefit both countries during Alliance.

Thanks.

Also, a couple question:
1) Can you use the enemy's railway tracks?
2) Is it possible to destroy infrastructure in provinces you control?

[Aseaheru]

Good question. Logically, its "if they let you/ its the same gauge" and "yes", but what do you say, oh he who runs the game and not he who lurks in the OOC?

[Harbingerjm]

2) Is it possible to destroy infrastructure in provinces you control?

No.

[Aseaheru]

Where was that response from?

[Harbingerjm]

IRC, I'd asked previously.

[Haspen]

1) Can you use the enemy's railway tracks?

If by this you mean 'can I launch my forces from away if there's railrods in enemy province I want to attack' the answer is yes. This is gonna specifically change in next version (first you move to the border, and next turn you can attack).

The second question is just like Harb explained, albeit in next version you will be able to demolish PI's using PI/turn limit. Or something :v

[Aseaheru]

It would be interesting if there where different gauges of track, with standard giving the most production but the others preventing people from breezing on in.

[Haspen]

Railways don't give PI bonuses, they're just for troop transporatation

[Aseaheru]

Really?
Whelp, I missed that part.

Yah, I suppose that without production... But still, IRL they increased growth immensely, and helped out with technological advancement aswell... Perhaps they could count as part of a population tick or something... I dunno anymore...

A new anti-inactivity rule has been added v:
