Draig, 7*7 is 49, NOT 7*14.

But helium is cheap and you just need a scissors and a match to install afterburners!

[Madman198237]

Not at this point, actually.

Also, helium doesn't burn.

HYDROGEN is cheap, and it burns scarily well.

Clearly you don't understand basic illuminati mathematics.

[VoidSlayer]

Honestly you just need hydrogen and oxygen, preferable compressed liquid ones and some way to burn them.

Wait that's not a zeppelin.

Yes, that...

And buoyancy may become less and less relevant as your speeds increase, and may even add instability, but that is no reason not to combine them!

Gases other than hydrogen and helium where(and are) used in airships. Ammonium was used at times by the USN, coal gas and Blau gas where used by some German designs(in addition to designs for a Hindenburg using helium, there where also designs for both hydrogen and helium, with some also including Blau gas).

Looking at the wiki for Blau gas it used as fuel in place of gasoline not as a sup to hydrogen and helium.

 A fuel that dident require lift gas to be released as it was burned, yes.

I honestly wish I had input, but I don't besides wishing there were more high-fantasy arms race games.

[Aseaheru]

 Good luck. magic, like future techs, seems to lead to too many arguments due to limits not being made clear, or else walls of text that both drive away players and often provide a blueprint of what to develop.

 Lower fantasy games though, thats something that may well work. And if one is truly insane could be combined with various things to represent more aspects of low-tech warfare.

Make your own. An arms race game about various fantasy races growing commercial weed and other narcotics. PCP ravaged trolls fighting meth harpies for control of the opium fields.

High fantasy at its finest.

The Steampunk-fantasy one is pretty fun so far.

The Steampunk-fantasy one is pretty fun so far.

If you're referring to War of the Crimson Spires, I think that mostly comes from it having a good basis to work off of, and well thought out limits and capabilities on the fantasy tech.

As for me running my own game, you might as well have me build a pair of salt mines on the ends of a seesaw. I CAN'T do balance, other people can TRY at the very least, but I'm about as good at balance as a lopsided elephant with one leg.

[Madman198237]

"War of the CINDER Spires", not "Crimson Spires".

Anyway, high fantasy would be cool, but you kind of need a basis for that, unless you're willing to do some EXTREME world-building.




Lord of the Rings Arms Race, anyone?

[Failbird105]

So I had an idea, a somewhat crazy one.

Basically, an Arms Race with super low tech levels, as in, metal weapons and tools are somewhat rare. However with a twist, in that you get a pre-war turn to design species. Starting with your own species, and then a small set of animals and plants(with the rest being normal).

Trying to be somewhat realistic however. That said I'm still working on the species design bit. I want it to be so that while you do have SOME control over what the creatures are, it mostly just gives the major features, and then the details are filled in. I'm considering making a vs NPC test game once I have it figured out.
