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

Event type: 2
Province roll: 79
Improvement roll: 1, HQ
Military HQ destroyed in #79!
Awsh.

That's an unfortunate roll.

Edit: On a side note, Guniland should only have a single army in 15. The one that spawned last turn is currently in 11, the other one was defeated by my forces.

Why does the PRoWM have an HQ in 70? I had it built in 69...

And what the hell is going on in 16? It looks like two nations have troops there, and since one of the army insignia colors is maroon, I would normally assume that it was mine, but I have no reason or ability to have troops there...

Was it? Dang, I must be going color blind...

Ah, I see why. The orange background was making it look more maroon to me...

Ayyyy guys whaddaya think of this:

Spoiler: NAUTICAL techs (click to show/hide)

These won't be in my game (cuz no navies) and quite propably not in Sheb's nor Glowcat's games because they're already up and running.

But could be included in the future games!

I dont like the idea of somany ship techs being dependent on one ship... Especially as destroyers evolved out of frigates while cruisers came out of ships of the line...

Frankly, I think the possibly overcomplicated idea of three (or four) types of units has returned to rear is head in this matter...

I think you're misinterpreting it. Those ships are just names for the tech, like Explosive Shells, primitive and advanced tanks.

Also, may I suggest a tech which allows some sort of naval bombardment, that gives a bonus to adjacent ground combat?

But the upgrades are linear, so.. Maybe consider suspending your disbelief for this one.

Ye as far as I'm concerned, there are only 2 units in game: armies and navies v:

So nautical techs upgrade navies while military techs upgrade armies.
