I get the feeling an automated script for running these battles would make this all a lot easier for you.

Though from the looks of it, multiple fronts does nothing anyway, besides allowing you to press a numbers advantage, and even then, only at the end of a battle/war.

[Ghazkull]

oh shit isnt that mentioned somewhere?

Uhm Fortresses cost 100 Supplies per destroyed level.
Ships are the same. 100 per strength

[Knave]

Can I ask how you determined who arrived first in the conflict between the Pirates v. Miners v. independents?

Seems like a big advantage to arrive second. Just want to make sure I understand the mechanics as I'm sure it will happen a lot more as the 'neutral' territories grow fewer and fewer!

[Rolepgeek]

I think I should have 2000 more supplies than I do; you started from last turn's base of 2000 when it was meant to be 4000.
And I believe the Olympian Alliance should have 45 IC, not 55.

Oh, and can we build multiple fortresses in a single location at a time, even if we can't build them more than one level up at a time?

[Ardas]

Tremble, mortals!

Nation Name: United Earth Directorate

History and Culture: The Directorate was formed out of the last vestiges of the old United Nations, with the UN Directorate of Security (old Security Council) reorganizing the collapsing structures into a new pan-national state. Terrestrial territories are still governed on a country basis and local autonomy is granted, with representatives forming the legislative General Assembly, but the top levels of government are maintained via a tight regime of the Directorate, which is formed from the directors of each state department, with Secretary-General of the Directorate at its head. Outer space is managed via direct control by the Directorate Colonial Administration.
While in principle free enterprise and free speech are social features, the general rule is: good of the state is the good of all. With purge of all genetic mutation (save for medical gene manipulation which is used to eliminate hereditary diseases) and overt cybernetization of human body (transhumanism is scorned as a false path which ruined the planet before), society is fed an ideology of human supremacy and Earth-borne people as the only worthy sovereigns of the Solar System.

Military(mostly fluff and will be brought in line with game-mechanics): Not changed much from the standard militarizes of Earth in the past ages, the only changes were the addition of the space-operating Marine Corps and the merging of the space and aviation into joint Navy (sea-borne vessels are an antiquated notion, save for a force of nuclear subs and small surface vessels with missile capabilities, both operating under Navy branch). Political ideology is enforced as well, with dedicated officers ensuring that adherence to the current order is maintained as well.

How does one gain access to bigger ships and more specialist infantry units?

[Ghazkull]

Kashyyk: as the game progresses tech will be made available to all players, sometimes unique tech specified for that player, sometimes you even get to choose between two upgrades.

Ardas: you are in, which area of earth do you want to start in?

Knave: quite simple really. i rolled two d6.

Rolep: will fix it soon. Yes you can have up to 5 fortresses per region. but only one ODN. However you can have 5 automatic defenses, which will however only activate once that fortress is under attack.

[Ardas]

Americas, if possible.

[TopHat]

Can depleted units being repaired act this turn or do the repairs take a whole turn?
EDIT - Oh, another question, we have to wait a turn before using IC captured last turn, right?

[Salsacookies]

May I leave? I've lost interest, unfortunately. Evil multi-corps aren't my main interest, anymore.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

May I leave? I've lost interest, unfortunately. Evil multi-corps aren't my main interest, anymore.

Can Ganymede have your land.

[Ghazkull]

That is fine Salsa, i will revert your land to neutral.
And no abstract you can't ;P

Rolep: repaired units are immediately available as are new IC.

[Rolepgeek]

That was TopHat

And I meant, like, could I build 4 Guard Posts in the Austral Highlands in one turn, type of thing.

[Ghazkull]

updated the last turn post with UED info.

[10ebbor10]

Not sure if this is still an option, but...

Nation Name: Jovec (Jovian Energy Corporation)
(optional) History and Culture:

The Jovian Energy Corporation is a major energy conglomerate, originally incorporated and governed from Luna, where it's predeccessors where heavily involved in the extraction of lunar He-3 for fusion fuel. A consistent increase in population of the moon and on various colonies through the solar system, meant that the ever further restricted Lunar operations were slowly becoming incapable to deal with the demand.

In response, Jovec was founded. Using specially modified vessels, skimming the Jovian atmosphere, extraction of Helium 3 from Jupiter became not only possible, but also a profitable venture. The operations were still under construction when the war started. Most of the fleet was already build, and either in orbit or burning towards Jupiter . The industrial base on Io, was completing construction, including the several mass drivers that would deploy fuel pods through the system.

However, supplies are short, as shipments from Earth are either not send, or disappear when crossing the belt.

Culturally, Jovec is a corporation, which takes it's employees primarily from Luna or the most successful of Earth, and as such aligns with them politically.

(optional) Military(mostly fluff and will be brought in line with game-mechanics):

Jovec is not a nation, and didn't maintain a dedicated military. This however, does not imply they're entirely harmless. Jovec  corporate ground troops are primary intended as peacekeepers or police agents, and were equipped with tear/knock out and other non-lethal weaponry. For more problematic engagements, the corporation has traditionally tended to rely on mercenaries.

The corporation has a surprisingly large fleet, and well reinforced bases.
