Why do you 'like' this game?

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

What? You could bomb all those weak little armies created by confusion and troops being taken for fighting them...

((Why is Lototazka fighting at +2 and not +1? 1 from explosive shells, 1 from militaristic, -1 from Monarchy, I reserve the right to change my orders if the combat change.))

Das is rite. To make it fair for all parties involved, I will go re-roll all the comabts.

There. It made the difference that only 1 Lototzkan army survived to see the recapture of the province I don't give it high chances now =p

ALLRIGHTY!

Rules and research topics have been updated. Blueprint idea from Sheb's game, as well as treaty limit implemented as well (there's now cap on Research Treaties' RP boost, too). I've also took some of his Nation Trait tweaks.
The map doesn't have much inland waters so no Navies available. Post-conquest loyalists are in, and so is the 'whatever left is one nation' Empire. Test-game players advised to re-read rules thoroughly if they're re-applying.

I like the capital tweak; I fear seeing "whack a capital" in the Sheb game.


Apps in this thread or a new one?

Is Province 70 on the new map stretched across both sides of that channel/canal?

Is base PI construction one or two?  The rules still say two, but the dictatorship/democracy descriptions imply it's one.

This one.

Yes.

Is base PI construction one or two?  The rules still say two, but the dictatorship/democracy descriptions imply it's one.

Base is two, like in Sheb's game.

Yes.

I'll run my own nation into the ground this time.

Name: The Khan Republic  
Leader's Name: Khan Rhani (mastahcheese)
Government Type: Republic 
Traits (3 Points left): 
Republic
Big
Normal
Numerous
Militaristic
Military Tradition
Capital Province #: Needs to have at least 3 Provinces adjacent to it (Mountain Passes/Water Crossings count), check the map link below.
National Color: Red  
History: Originally "The Land of Forty Khans", the Khan Rebublic began as a large collection of local nomadic groups, that have banded together so as not to fall behind in the world. Half a century later, only 8 of the original Khans are still alive and in control, and their nomadic ways are scarce but a memory. 

I'll choose a capital location later, I'm stressed.

Oh, Haspen, may I make a suggestion in relation to ocean crossings and mountain passes being harder to attack thru?

Armies already get -1 to their rolls when attacking via these, what else you want? :P
