1 pixel=10 km² You are an imperialist. You believe the strong survive, and the world of weakness must bow to them. You believe you are a strong one. Most importantly, you believe your kingdom (and soon to be empire) is strong, and furthermore that the continent of Isizia is weak. You believe it is your duty to conquer Isizia. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 pixel=3 km² Your growing population as a nation demands more resources. The fields become drier by the day. Reopia is growing old. The Great sea must be crossed, for the second great crossings of Deridian history. Will your people rise? Your continent is dry, while theirs is lush with life and gold. You have little time to act before your rivals outbid you. What will it be? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This role-play is set in 1542 PPC (Post-Period-of-Chaos), Deridia. The modern civilized world has gotten their first peak at the riches of the continent that has been separated from them for so long. Culture is beginning anew. It has been a decade since the rediscovery, and various cultures and colonial practices have emerged. Tech: The technological sophistication is various-punk, airships are commonplace as well as alchemical and electrical muskets. 4 fields of technology have emerged: Bionuta: Biologically related research. Used for mutated species and they are working on viruses. They also make designer pets. Lectrovic: Electronically related research. Used for charged weapons, and household products. Gerxin: Automation related research. Used for creating large assembly machines. Aerogin: Gas related research. Used for airships and household concoctions. Please pick one of those tech fields for your nation. I require that you have exactly 1 Reopian nation and greater than or equal to 1 Isizian tribe. Name Symbol (At the very least, please give words) Claims (Please include separate continental maps, Reopia most likely bases their claims off of existing borders.

You know what - I'm interested in joining. Not sure what the difference between this an God, Gatling and Glory, but whatever. I'll give it a try. I would love to play a nation with an interesting take on imperialism, but first I have some questions. What is causing the continent to become dry? Is irrigation impossible? If people have technology, irrigation from either river tributaries or the water table should be possible. On the technology front: I guess the laws of physics and biology are completely out the window, but that is fine, I am sure you have perfectly good explanations and new models for reality. First for Biology: sewing two animals together makes a new animal that is capable of reproducing the same animal sans thread, presumably. Therefore, DNA does not exist, and things are not nucleic-acid based, seeing as the sewing would not change the DNA of the two separate animals, and be horribly incompatible. Sex organs would also mix the DNA and create something incapable of life due to the complete difference in biological makeup. Therefore: how do cells work, what causes and directs cell division, and how does evolution etc. work without nucleic acid mutations. So electricity is, in simple terms, packets of electrons moving around a circuit, moving charge from one place to another, which can be harnessed to do work. You say it is kinetic energy, which moves through a wire. Kinetic energy therefore works differently in your universe, seeing as kinetic energy does not have charge, so either this is a typo, misunderstanding, or a giant fuck you to the way we understand energy transfer between particles. If it is the latter, I am curious to see what your explanation is. Also, you say that Lectrovic is kinetic energy gaining momentum going through a wire, except that would imply there is another source of the energy that causes the mass moving via the kinetic energy to gain speed and therefore momentum, or you are throwing conservation of energy out the window, which I think is a bold stylistic choice that could be very interesting, but I would need it explained to me. Gerxin seems more straightforward, though why things need to be propelled in a loop is beyond me. Why an engine could not push and pull, spin things, or apply force in myriad other ways is beyond me, but I am sure there is a good reason. Aerogin makes a little amount of sense, though why they need to go through the boiling and freezing process when they could produce things like helium from cooling and natural gas at low temperatures. They could also produce a number of gasses through just mixture, like chlorine, or through electrolysis, like hydrogen. I'll ask about the weapons in a sec.

I specifically left those explanations open. I know I just gave a 'fuck all' to science.

That lack of answers is disturbing. Since conservation of energy does not exist, my army's new main way of waging war is to use lectrovic cycles to create something going at like .3c, then fire it at the enemy, utterly destroying them with the force of a thousand nuclear bombs. Also, everyone in my nation is a cross between human, bear, wolf, flatworm, turtle, komodo dragon and shark, because biology is fucked in the eye.

Also, the fuck is an alchemical musket? By the same token, the fuck is an electrical musket? I guess alchemy could have to do with the composition of the powder, but electricity would do nothing for a percussion-cap muzzle-loading smoothbore firearm. Maybe I am just misunderstanding, perhaps you could clarify.

Sorry, I was on mobile device. Most of your (fake) nation sounds (believe it or not) just fine. I am going for an oversimplified view. Remember though: If you have it, chances are somebody has a way to protect against and the same weapon to shoot back. In regards to the musket, it just looks like a musket.

Unsure how you defend against something moving at .3c, or counter an amalgam of the best traits from thousands of species put into one thing after decades of splicing and testing. Also, now that conservation of energy is complete, it is only a few years before we can fabricate mass, thus making all natural resources pointless due to our infinite amount of freely-creatable materials. if it just looks like a musket, can it not be a musket? Can it be an infinite energy harnessing uberweapon capable of killing from thousands of miles away?

Alright. Fine. I will revamp the tech. EDIT: It is now totally ambiguous. GLHF. Please post inventions publicly so that ll may use them. I will deny super-OP godshits.

Hm I'm interested in this, I'll start on a sheet once I study over the opening post.

I think I'll hold off. Without the cool idea of having completely different laws of physics than the real world, this game really has nothing to offer me that is not in the God, Gatling and Glory game. Good luck!

Bump.

Note: 'dry' is a metaphor. In this it means that there is a lacking or natural resources
