[OOC] The Sun Will Never Set (A Statisticless NRP)(It had a good run)

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

I agree that some of the weapons tech was really OP, but then again I'm kinda keeping my soldiers somewhat basic.

@thegreenleafe

Hearing you say that almost sound like a sarcasm.
Mechs might be OP if we look at pure technological standpoint but this is fantasy and we take acceptable breaks from reality.
You also avoided naming specifics for your weapons so it isn't an issue, either.
The only problem is a typo. You have the population of 20 million people with the percentage of the military being 500%.
You wrote you have 100,000,000 soldiers. I think you meant a hundred thousand, not 100 million.

@Willy Vereb
Oh well I guess I'll go fix that when I finish more of my history. At one point I'll go and add some specifics for weapons, but again after I finish my history.

The map I made of my nation is missing one side of the border, so my border technically expands to the entire world

In other words, the whole world is mine. I'm just letting you live in it.

@Hael

I for one welcome my new Overlord.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I offset things I had slightly ahead of time (the PIAT-style weapons, which were on use like three years later) with things I don't have (tanks, armored vehicles, gasoline-based ships). Sure some stuff is OP in comparison, but you also have to take into account weaknesses.

But it is important to remember this is a roleplay, not a strategy game. You cannot "win". The point is to create an evocative story.

@Mihndar

Yup, that's the point.
It just kinda takes away the fun if we have all the nice tools of WW2 from the start.
Like I said many things could've been made perhaps a bit earlier and can be explained by special reasons or such.
But when somebody has almost post-WW2-ish tanks with oversized barrels or start listing vehicles armed with 150mm guns, things get awry on this front.
I can point at names but I refuse.

It might be just me but some of the charm in battles will be as nations face each other with decades old doctrines and gradually realize things changed and they need to adjust things accordingly. If you already have juggernauts of a tank with beefy engines, tons of armor and a big cannon then you may as well participate in a cold war setting with that.

[thegreenleafe]

@Mihndar I finished the part of my history that involved you, let me know it its alright.

[Alfhedil]

@Murtox@Cyclone

We can work out a history in PM if y'all want, I'm definitely open to it. Most treaties and such of import would likely be a decade+ old, however due to Marianna's instability.

@Willy Vereb

I'll address your points later once I am at my actual computer, but I will say that there is a reason for the equipment Eisenkreis has, assuming that is, that I am the one you were referring to =P

@thegreenleafe

Good... a smart one.

In other news, the N.S. is up. It's not finished yet but I NEED FEEDBACK.

Lemme know what you guys think. Lemme know now

[thegreenleafe]

@Hael It seems pretty interesting and ripe for plot lines.

[Alfhedil]

@Hael Looks pretty solid so far, looks like Kzechverin and the Hegemony have quite the neighbor across the sea.

[Meiyuuhi]

@Mihndar I finished the part of my history that involved you, let me know it its alright.

@thegreenleafe

Looks good to me. Will adjust my sheet to reflect it.

[Hael]

Alright, Cyclone, I shot you a P.M. about potential historical and modern connections between us.

EDIT: Ya, 333rd post!

[Cyclone]

@Voltus_Ventus

So what will happen with the island conflict between Yamatai and Tin now that Clock is gone? Will you control Yamatai?

[Voltus_Ventus]

@Hael You are clear to go, read though it and liked it. As others may have mentioned it could provide from some intersteting instances.

@Cyclone I'll make a decision soon but as of now, I will control it.

[Hael]

Update: I added a section on the religious percentage of my people, and updated on the percentage of Tin men in my nation

Update: Announcing everytime I make a miniature change to my N.S. makes me feel important.

[Meiyuuhi]

I'm within reach of finishing my nation sheet, just have to elaborate on the descriptions of my ships and airships, the glorious coal-fueled behemoths they are.

Also, I have no southern neighbor. I don't know what I am supposed to do about that, just make up a nation or pretend it doesn't exist?

[Skepic]

@Mihndar

I would say just don't bother with it until it becomes an issue, like someone invading through the south or something. Other than that, just for now, I would ignore it.

But that's just my two cents

@Alfhedil

Actually you weren't the one I was referring to in that particular post but if it comes to that I can answer to everyone in detail which parts did I find a problem.
Thing is though I am not the GM and I certainly don't wish to start a long argument.
So I'll be waiting for @Voltus_Ventus response.

[Willy Vereb]

Guy, guys.
I should remind everyone that we are only at 1940.
Many of the famous developments in World War 2 are years away.
If your nation specializes in a certain thing I can understand
But also keep in mind there's no war currently going on which forces nations to upgrade their weapons as much as possible.
Almost any cannon over or near 100mm must be a howitzer or a warship-mounted battery.
Armored vehicles still need better engines so that they could ever begin mounting bigger guns and armor. They are practically APCs by the typical standard.
Assault rifles and the need for intermediate cartridge doesn't even begin to be developed until years later and it enters by the war's end.
Rockets are workable but it takes some years before they scale them down effectively for a bazooka.
Anti-tank explosives were just seen use. Delivery systems are in the works.
Jet engines are somewhat in development but they eat fuel like crazy.
Propeller airplanes were far from reaching their zenith. 250 mph was considered decent while 300+ mph was fairly impressive.
Fighters only equipped machineguns and heavy MGs since escalation didn't require them to carry anything else.

And I could go on.
Basically I think a few technologies we have is actually a wee bit too OP.
Of course it's up to the GM to decide but I mentioned the above examples exactly because some nations did violate them.
As far as things are, nobody should feel the need to up arm themselves this much, neither have the technology to support it.
I admit, I may be also guilty on a few of these but I'll scale down some things if required.
Anyways, I only posted this to raise awareness to the issue.
The rest are in the GM's hands.

@Willy Vereb

Re-quoting this for the GM to see.
