Hmm, not much interesting happening, well, on with it.
Orders:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Production orders: when the 50% of my production that's on financial centres is done I want it to make 2 research labs before defaulting to auto mines

Research orders: after the improved research rate is done, I want 3 of those labs on improving mining rate again, and stick the 2 left over to speeding up the fire control range research

Launch full out assault on Japan.









(ffs don't actually do this)

You can't anyways; not for 25 more years

[Sheb]

Even with Ground Troops?

[Bremen]

Even with Ground Troops?

1) Geneva Security Accords: No armed conflict within 25 million km of Earth until 2050. This shouldn't cover any other planets, but does include the moon.

They've still got weapons.

[Yodamaster]

But we're horribly evil and ignore the Geneva Security Accords. Also the Geneva Convention. Torturing scientists for technology = valid excuse for Bremen SMing everyone's research to us  .

[Sheb]

Well, Yodamaster could still attack all Japanese mining colonies.

[Sirus]

In such a hypothetical case, the US would likely support Japan. War to defeat the stinking commies defend the helpless Japanese! 

[Sheb]

We would stay out of the conflict, then shoot any survivng vessels outside the exclusion zone and grab everybody's mines.

[Bremen]

I might point out no one has troop bays yet

Incidentally, I was inspired to do this by similar games the creator of Aurora did on the forums. One game had China invading Japan, precipitating a full scale nuclear war that ended up causing so much radiation Earth had to be abandoned (other than a few million lucky evacuees). Humanity had to rebuild from its off-planet colonies

That was the inspiration for the Security Accords, by the way.

[Sheb]

I still feel they're too restrictive. No war until 2050?!?

[Bremen]

No war on Earth. I actually expected it to encourage conflict, since nations can fight over other planets with no real risk to their home economy.

[Sheb]

We'll see once we have other planets worth fighting for.

[Bremen]

I actually think the reason it's been so peaceful so far is having four nations; no one wants to act hostile lest the other three ally against them. A 3 nation game might have been much more unstable.

Nation A attacks B
C intervenes because they don't want to see A get uber powerful.
D waits until the others are weak and profits from neutrality
