[OOC] The Nations of Mawei

[Inkdrop]

A serious decision arises where I need your answers in.Should the system have all the data and resources included that I wrote down,providing a more realistic but slower and "boring" experience,or the less realistic light RP where the initial lore and your actions decide your nations fate.Pick sides lads and gents.

@6slyboy6

I like the idea of making this RP a lot more story based, so the latter idea appeals to me more than something that is dry and "realistic".

[6slyboy6]

Yeah I am having the same idea.Also we need like noe more people to actually populate the planet.There are so many territories left alone.

[6slyboy6]

I would love if this story goes so far as interplanetary war XD Imagine that we take pre-industrial history to sci-fi
Or even turn it into half steamounk half cyberpunk.It depends on the players.So exciting.

[Inkdrop]

It does have a lot of potential but I am afraid that it is starting to falter...

[6slyboy6]

Does it hmm?I feel that there arent many players coming
We will wait for torrow and start ok?I don't want to wait for years XD

[6slyboy6]

I also randomized our names and as it seems Ink will start first,then eemmtt,and finally Me

[6slyboy6]

So I have added a bit more detail to my CS post.It is what I would love to see from all of you too.This is not something you have to do.It just feels more natural and it's easier to chechk out stuff about a specific army branch

[Inkdrop]

I'll do that later. Right now, we really need another player... Otherwise we'll have to start with a lot of untouched land.

[6slyboy6]

Exactly.I am trying to recruit someine but it is hard.If we have to we can do without a player,or even add another NPC empire or something.Let's all recruit.Also if you don't want to you don't have to do all the aemy stuff.It's me whi loves making stories and shit :D

[Inkdrop]

I'd support populating the world with smaller NPC nations. Might make it interesting.

And I am performing tweaks on Stoludi's military anyways.

[6slyboy6]

Okay well I will make a few nations if I can.Thry might be interesting.But I would still want someone to join.I'll ask around

[6slyboy6]

I see that you did start the process if making the CS tab updtated.Thats a plus for you.I hope eemmtt does it too.I will PM him shortly

[Inkdrop]

It took freaking forever but I did manage to make the military a little more detailed.

[6slyboy6]

I love your CS so much,that in fact I buried deep inside mine and researche some things about technical magic. I think that Snaplock rifles are just so amazing compared to Flintlock rifle designs.But I used flintlock after researching a bit.Also did you know the first revolver came out in around 1500 O_O .This brings a new level to my CS.althought of course they were only for the king and the highest ranking people cause they costed around 10 cows worth of money T_T .So best suited for imperial guards.Now I am just playing witht he idea of revolver rifles but that seems like an idea that is not affordable in a country where most things are made out of stone and wood,cause there are only sparse metal (especially iron) deposits around.

@6slyboy6

While the Snaphance and Doglock might be interesting designs they were, actually, very outdated by the time the industrial revolution rolled around. Flintlocks would be the standard by this time, and MAYBE caplocks, but those only came about around the time of the American Civil War.

[6slyboy6]

Well yes I know,butthis is around 1650 when the industrial revolution was just spreading it's wings in the mainland of Europe.Yes England already went past industrial revolutin that time,but this is still the early years of it spreading.Flintlocks were really common,but out of all the other mechanics Snaplock managed to stay in use for as long as flintlocks,whilst the others failed.Snaplock was also good at keeping the gunpowder from becoming wet.It was also less complicated that the flintlock.I thought It would be good as a standard for a huge army.But otherwise yes,I understand your point.I also looked up and I found some very interesting flintlock,back loading rifles.Also I laughed for like 5 minutes after seeing the paper cartridge used early in France.So yeah i can say I am just waiting for cartridges to come by.And Rifled guns to be actually good,and common.Of course you seem to know a lot so there is no point in telling you all this.I hope I actually made sense whit what I wrote.

[6slyboy6]

it seems everyone made up their mind on lore and military.Now we just need one more person.I am hoping that you are asking around,but if not I still have like 12 person I am waiting to respond.So have a good night everyone.Hopefully tomorrow we can start.

@6slyboy6

You did, and now we just get to see where the tech tree takes us. That will be the fun part. Might end up with gatling cannons or something soon. Also, didn't the IR start in around the 1830s?

[6slyboy6]

Thank god I didn't write bullshit.Actually I missed this part in school,cause we kinda skipped back when we were there.Anyways according to thr Wiki it started from around 1600 in england and had its climax there around 1640-1650.Of course thats just the majority of big companies.By that time,it was stull just spreading to france,and germany only had a small idea of whats going on.Everyone else was unfamiliar with steam engines and what not.It took about 150 years more to fully reach Russia.It ended near 1850.It was a long process.Also yes I am too,interested in who will be the first person to go steampunk,and produce revolver mortars.It is what makes Nation RP's so amazing.Creativity.

[6slyboy6]

Also with you regarding my lack of flintlock,I felt uneasy giving even the milita a system that reduces the actual fire response by about 0.2 seconds.I considered you army having dog-lock rifles and I though "hey it should be the Irodiens whi have the most amazing milita,as they have resources and what not.My elites are better but they can arm even their milita with giodd guns.Better not leave the Japanese guys behind too."
