1) in the battle description, it is clear enough which designs are made this turn and detailed informations aren't classified, beig in the equipment lists. Since past designs aren't secret, maybe add a summary at the start of a turn saying "this side introduced this new weapon, whle this other brought that other thing to the field". Would at least avoid the confusion in seeing names dropped without background ( like reading about the london class, called by name, but only knowing it is a ship by context(unless you are a loyalist, of course)

One of the bigger things I was worried about was if the addition would bloat things past the character limit, so I just went with a 'they can see in the nation specs'.

2) are we going to have propaganda battles like in sensei's game?

Once the larger American Revolution has finished off, a few may start looking towards the islands and things may crop up.  For now, the islands are insulated from attention due to the ongoing conflict in the American Colonies.  May kick things off earlier if Dunwich gets their own flag designed, though.

Could we have some vague gauge of numbers in each state, so that newcomers can feel egalitarian for joining the small state?

Actually, we should probably start advertising, can we buy advertising space on the first page? Maybe we could sacrifice one of our engineers to the dark gods in your name?

I think I found a possible error. The Pirate Cutter is a new ship, and thus should have been one unit more expensive untill it was build. We resolved that by using our production action. However, the Pirates have no such action, so their ship should have been a National effort.

So, question us, where dud my logic fail?

As an outside observer, I feel like it would help readability a lot if you included a short summary of what the factions made/did leading up to the battle report. Not that you'll be eager to write more stuff, I'm sure, but it's slightly confusing to see an oblique reference to a new gun, and then scroll down trying to figure out which faction just made it and what it does. Maybe bold the names of new items in the faction item lists?

Also, interesting game is interesting, keep up the good work. I think perhaps I will join the first faction to invent a hot air balloon.

Heh, it's looking like my prediction of it collapsing in 3 turns might be wrong after all! I'm joining in on the loyalist side!

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

I changed the NPCs from having an Espionage to having a Production action, as me and Kashyyk know of everything and could wind up being more devastating with an Espionage.

I've got a listing of those who joined a side in this thread.  I don't know about the numbers of those who jumped in within the nation threads, though.

If the Loyalists get even more engineers, we will be able to flood everyone with numerical superiority anyway.

Think it might be best to freeze loyalist recuriting till Atteron and Confedracy get higher numbers.

Artist imagination of what will happen if Atterton Monarchy get's their balls together and bring their horrible steamships into open waters.

I'm not sure what you're asking about, but the exploding ship is USS Missouri in both cases.

It's okay, I wouldn't expect the intricate plans of true leadership to be comprehensible to the minds of those whose idea of right is having more guns pointed away than towards them.
As throughout history, the righteous can endure any adversity that you might care to throw at us. Long live the king.
