I'll be back home from a business trip later today, so if anyone's up to flesh out some background with Salodonia, I'm game!

I'm a published novelist, so I genuinely appreciate it. (I won't plug my book here, but if anyone enjoys sci-fi shoot outs and train robberies, DM me and I'll give you the link! :D)

Incredibly OP.

1.) The largest battleship ever constructed is the Yamato and its sister ship the Musashi. They weighed in at around 78,000 tons. To say it would be impossible for your nation to have a ship that's 120,000 tons is beyond incredulous.

2.) Naming it a "super dreadnought" does not make it any more fashionable, nor does it separate the ship from your 22 battleships, which wouldn't have existed in 1910, as long as we're still using technology reminiscent of our own timeline.

Chronologically it would go: Armored Cruiser > Pre-Dreadnought > Dreadnought > Battlecruiser > Battleship. Battleships really didn't start to emerge until heavy modernization of dreadnoughts.

Also, Kuldarra is not a nation that appears to exist heavily on the basis of naval superiority, inso much as it is an immense land bearing nation. Fusan's navy is taken verbatim of the Imperial Japanese Navy at around 1918, which was second in the world behind Britain's at the time. Fusan has 6 dreadnoughts. Most of its industry is dedicated to it's navy. So how Kuldarra could have 22 battleships, a ship twice as big as the largest one to ever be be built and 10,000 ton submarines (the Type VII U-boat weighed 780 tons) is beyond me.

Just my 2 cents.

I laughed for over an hour.

I'll just adjust the values a little. Also, it highly amuses me how no one comments about the 30 inch guns.

This confuses me further...Are you being sarcastic about him being mad and he actually IS mad or are you showing me an example if he was mad vs. being sarcastic?

I was planning on it but I would rather it be a meaningful action rather then just, "This happened and I had icecream".

Also, does this need to be toned down more or could this be considered realistic?
