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

[Kashyyk]

I know, but it doesn't get updated after each player's actions, which means (unless you are first), that some actions have occured that are not visible on the map. I was the first player last game so this didn't matter to me, but now I'm not I don't know how they coped when the orders got complicated.

[Parsely]

I'm not having any problems looking at someone's actions then scrolling up and visualizing them.

[Rolepgeek]

I only care about like 3 people's actions right now anyway, since I need to try and grab that chokepoint by the mountains in order to have a much, much easier time defending against Catan, and I need to try and defend against what I can only assume is Western Minar's backstabbing treachery, and after they offered a non-aggression pact, no less.

On a side note, I'm quite certain I should have a research treaty with the Empire of Mother, rather than a trade treaty.

Accept Trade PactResearch Agreement from Empire of Steel.

Unfortunately, the request for trade with the Empire of Steel must be regretfully declined, as our merchants and theologians warn that any more traffic across our borders could disturb, rather than improve, the economic and administration efficiency of our great country.

The Mother's servants, -of whom there are many, but in this case we refer merely to the clergy and heads of the Mother's Empire- join the Empire of Steel in condemning the unprovoked threat from the Catan Republic.

Accept Alliance offer from Empire of Steel

No no, see, the roleplaying that exaggerates a rival's aggression takes place in the IC thread =P

But seriously I wrote that province off due to its position already.

Uhm yes. That states quite clearly that I should have a research treaty, rather than a trade treaty.

[Rolepgeek]

He's right...I'd accepted a trade pact by accident when he wasn't offering one, and changed my mind to Research once he was.

Also, if you've already written off that province, excellent! This won't be as frustratingly difficult as I thought, then.

As for Western Minar...grrrrrrr...

Also, how do outnumbering bonuses/penalties work, Haspen?

I'm thinking Mountain Passes/Water Crossings should make it so the attacker can't get outnumber bonuses(chokepoints ftw). Or maybe just Fortifications? I dunno.

[Haspen]

Every 3 armies more than enemy nets you +1.

So if enemy has 2 armies and you have 5, it's +1. If you would have 8, it would +2, at 11 armies it's +3, and so on.

[Rolepgeek]

Cool.

Which is going to be the primary way Radman crushes people, I foresee.

I'm thinking Diesel Fuel would have been a better research investment...oh well, I should be able to trade Radio for something at least. Maybe...

[10ebbor10]

I still want my research points.

[Haspen]

Eh if Rolepgeek agrees, I can change it to research treaty and give ya +2 points ;v

[10ebbor10]

It was a research treaty from the beginning.

Hrrrrrrmmmmm fine. Lemme fix it.

A new warfare tech has been added, suiting the age. Hopefully it's as useful as it was in WWI
