[center][h1]The World Undone[/h1] (1905--)[/center] [hider=Orders] - Posting IC will be immensely beneficial to you as a player. It is, however, not necessary. This is designed so that you can still send in your orders if you are too busy to post, but posting IC will provide a tangible bonus to your DRM (Die Roll Modifier). - Each [b]Turn[/b] represents one In-Game Month. The player will submit [b]3 Orders[/b]. - Each order is then subject to a 1d6 roll. A 6 means a perfect execution and a 1 means a horrible failure. Posting IC gives you a +2 die roll to a single order, or a +1 die roll to all three. [Specified at the end of your IC post.]. This means that more active players are rewarded. - [b]Orders[/b]: * [b][color=yellow]Economic[/color][/b]: An order designed to benefit the nation economically. * [b][color=red]Military[/color][/b]: An order designed to affect your military. * [b][color=green]Diplomacy[/color][/b]: An order designed to conduct diplomacy. * [b][color=blue]Imperialism[/color][/b]: Exploring and developing new lands. * [b][color=gold]Conference[/color][/b]: Used to call a [i]Political[/i] or [i]Military[/i] Conference.

He is dispatched via the [i]Luca Carballal[/i], a gunboat. Following a four week journey across the Mittel Sea, the [i]Carballal[/i] mapped out vast portions of the coast, though Arias was saddened he was not afford the opportunity to step foot onto the continent.

The [u]First Imperial Army[/u] and [u]Second Imperial Army[/u] begin an intermittent bombardment of the city, having received [u]no further orders from High Command[/u]. Thamber's responded in kind but were hopelessly outnumbered and in a battle where range was not a deciding factor. Vigentan soldiers huddled in fox holes while the Puccio 77mm guns carried out their barrage. Per day, the Vigentan artillery batteries fired 15,000 artillery shells a day. In the city, the Julian endured a violent barrage without much response. Julian artillery commanders discovered they could fire 4 to 5 shells before Vigentan artillery began to zeroed in on their positions.
