[u]OOC MECHANICS[/u]

[b]Simplification of Naval Designs[/b]: Ship Classes will now be simplified to a tech class based tech. Nations will be given the furthest tech for that class based on which of the four categories they possessed. (If you have 1905 Guns for Destroyers, your Destroyer tech will become 1905).

[b]EDUCATION[/b]: The education of your population is directly correlated to your nations ability to design new weapons of war.
-- [b]Start[/b]: Every nation starts with [b]20% Educated Populace[/b].
-- [b]Decay[/b]: Every year this decays by [b]2% Per Year[/b].
-- [b]Growth[/b]: You can increase your [b]Educated Populace[/b] by 1% by spending $10,000,000,000.
* [[b]Design Company[/b]]: Every nation has [2 Design Companies].
* For every +10% [b]Educated Populace[/b] your nation has, a new Design Company emerges.
* For every +5% [b]Educated Populace[/b] your nation has, you have a Focus Point to give to a company.

[i]OOC Note[/i]: This is a response to people simply researching new technology for no reason other than that they have the cash to spend. Research will now become an investment, not an expenditure.


[u]EXAMPLE[/u]
[b][color=lightblue]Kingdom of Aontas[/color][/b] ([i]20% Educated Populace[/i] = 2 Design Companies. 4 Focus Points.)

[b]Design Company A[/b] (3 Focus Points)
[b]Naval Arms[/b]
[[b]Engine[/b]: 1]
[[b]Guns[/b]: 0]
[[b]Armor[/b]: 2]
[[b]Reliability[/b]: 0]

[[b]Firepower[/b]: 0]
[[b]Effectiveness[/b]: 0]

These are the actions you may perform.

-- [[b]Request Design[/b] ($5,000,000,000 + $5,000,000,000 Per Company That Receives Order): Select a [b]Naval Unit[/b] ([i]Submarine, Destroyer, Light Cruiser, Armored Cruiser, or Pre-Dreadnought/Dreadnought[/i]). Selected companies will create a design. Or select [b]Arms[/b] ([i]Bolt-Action Rifle, Machine Gun, Light Artillery, Heavy Artillery[/i]). Selected companies will create a design.

[u]EXAMPLE[/u]

[b][color=lightblue]Kingdom of Aontas[/color][/b] uses [b]Request Design[/b] ($5 + $10 for 2 Companies) for [b]Company A[/b] and [b]Company B[/b] for a [b]Pre-Dreadnought[/b] called the [i]King Matthias[/i]-class.

Company A has 3 Focus Points (2 Naval Armor, 1 Naval Engines) and Company B has none in naval warfare. Here's what they came up with.

[u]Company A[/u]
[b]Design[/b]: [i]King Matthias[/i]-class Pre-Dreadnought (1905)
[b]Stats[/b]: Engines +1, Armor +2
[b]Cost[/b]: $15,000,000,000

[u]Company B[/u]
[b]Design[/b]: [i]King Matthias[/i]-class Pre-Dreadnought (1905)
[b]Stats[/b]: No Modifiers
[b]Cost[/b]: $12,000,000,000
