This takes place on its own fictitious continent, Turbados, which may one day rival Forenia in a Spacebattles VS Bay12 war.
With Turbados starting half century behind techwise I strongly doubt that such war can be interesting. They need to do something outstanding to catch up.

Them being the ones with the only actual navy may make up for their deficiency in ground-based tech.

We can spend 3-4 design actions and get all navy we need, while they start several generations behind in small arms and no cars in 1910. Unless they will be allowed to jump through generations, I expect them to have WW1 land forces and some crude navy in 1936

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

Oh I expect them to be at forenia's level of technology at 1915 before long.

A new war is beginning!

I am now preparing for a new war to start. Forenia has been attacked by foreign invaders from Cannala, a nation of dirty pirates, who shelled the capital unprovoked with powerful battleships. These Cannalans will be played by people from another forum. The game will start approximately May 1st, if everything goes to plan.

First however, we have some preparations to make. I have proposed some new rules for the game in the Arms Race Discussion Thread. Go catch up on that starting from the post I linked if you have suggestions or want to weigh in.

You may also be interested to know we have a new avenue for discussion: There is now a Discord server dedicated to the Arms Race game. Aseaheru is hosting it, and there are public chat channels as well as chat channels which are private to each faction. Aseaheru, Zanzetzukan and I are admins and can assign people to factions. There are still some bugs to work out, and of course a Discord splits up the discussion a little bit and makes it hard to read back through old discussion, so this may be a temporary arrangement. Those of you who'd rather not join the Discord can rest assured that design proposals and votes will only be tallied on the forum, so you won't be left out.

Before the war starts, you have some tasks!
United Forenia will need a flag! We are accepting new proposals immediately.

In addition to a flag, United Forenia should have a "banner" in her colors for people to use in their forum signature. This is a practice started in the War on Turbados. A banner consists of five ALT+219 █ characters in the national colors, like this:
Banner of Juraki Shogunate:
Banner of Cannala:
Code: [Select]
Banner of Juraki Shogunate: [COLOR=#ff0000]█[COLOR=#ffffff]█[COLOR=#ff0000]█[COLOR=#ffffff]█[COLOR=#ff0000]█[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]
Banner of Cannala: [COLOR=#000000]█[COLOR=#0000ff]█[COLOR=#b30000]█[COLOR=#ffff00]█[COLOR=#00b300]█[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

Last, but not least, you may want to begin discussing now which weapons you will use in the coming war. You have access to the whole Arstotzkan and Moskurg armory, but you will want to remove redundant weapons. You may also get a bonus design before the start of the war; I am still deciding this.

Oh hey, neat.
I missed the first game, obviously, but Iituem's Wands Race has gotten me very interested in the concept.

Anyway, for a Forenian flag, how about something simple like

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

To whit, a combination of the constituent nation's flags. Like the Union Jack.

Which I guess would make the banner



Regarding weaponry, is there a list of the weapons the two sides had at the end?

There is indeed a list of all the weapons.

Also that flag is eye-searing. Use a lighter tone of blue whilst replacing the red with a darker shade?

Great.

Where?

That flag is literally based on the existing flags. Although I suppose the clash of red and blue makes the colours stand out more than on the originals.
I might edit it later.

Interesting.

..but I'll pass, due to getting zero input from either the last game or the current game.  And being on discord.

Discord is just for banter, not the actual game itself.

Hey Sensei, can you compare Forenia to Cannala?

Come now. Nationalism is outlawed in Forenia, being as it is a foolish mindset held only by primitive savages.

We must instead embrace Continentalism, the ideology of the future. Glory to Forenia (which is totally a continent)!

I made a more muted version of the combination flag;
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

EDIT: And a banner reflecting those colours:
