All that sounds great! Not that I plan to do much fighting. I'm more than fine with whatever level of cultural mixing you like, id imagine it would be heavy on both sides. Your goods would be popular in my territories and I'm sure some goods from the sea would make their way down to you.

(Hint: Nova Roma might make use of some mercenaries from Jajanhart to help take back the Italian Peninsula)

Yea you border Byzantion west of the suez. Another minor city state that is allied by ways of the Aegean pact occupies the other coast. I would assume that there would be cuktural mixing which makes sense. The majority of civilians outside of the city identify as borderline anarchist. They all live pretty much free from government oversight if they don’t live in a city or by the coast

I’m all for cultural mixing and and alliance, I would think we have a good relationship too like a defensive pact type thing. I keep threats from the Suez and North Africa away and you do the same on my southern border. I’m sure your people would know my suez patrols very well

@Strange Rodent

Im all for an alliance, the North Africans west of the Suez are agreeable people. The city states East of the Suez may be difficult, not hostile but just annoying.

Oh you poor cold people, come down south and grab some sun. The sun and people are warm in Mare Nostrum!

Sooooooo tempted to open at work

If I could colab from my phone I would hahah but. I can’t access RPG at work lol

Afghan Taliban and Mujahadeen had access to old T-55 tanks at the beginning of our conflict. They were self taught, same with all the ZSU AAA guns and all the other heavy equipment around the area.

The US has since destroyed all of it. But yes you are right but equipment depots would be hit, but remote supply posts away from the front would be intact.

All it takes is one person to fuck around with something long enough to get an idea for it. He tells peopl, they screw around with it. Before you know it, you have a tank crew!

@NecroKnight

Well any stored equipment wouldn’t just be left out in the rain, it would most likely be sealed in storage, or somewhere safe from elements. ( beside the point)

You don’t exactly need to be an expert to use a tank, anyone and hop in a figure it out. ( how do you think they do it in Afghanistan?) chances are, there is someone that knows how to do most everything you can think of. I can’t believe that everyone would be completely ignorant.

This is also post apocyltia, you shouldn’t be manufacturing anything. Nukes are big and destroy cities, burn out electronics. Industry is target priority one during war. If anyone has any industry left, it’s either makeshift or very well hidden. That being said, you will be canibalizing parts from destroyed equipment.

People would get better at scavenging and fixing equipment in a post apocalyptic world, since there is no other choice. Even if a destroyed one is sitting around, someone will see it and wonder “ how does this work”

@necroKnight

Not as much as you think, apart from these things being built to be resistant to the elements. Yes the finer points of gun stabilizers and infrared sights might need re-calibration or repair. The tank will still move, shoot and be a tank though.

Clean and flush the engine, sand off rust and put fuel in it. Unless it literally sat in a bog for four centuries....it’ll work

For comparison, the majority of the aircraft and ships that militaries from around the world use are at least 30-40 years old

The battleship your using ( unless it’s brand new) would be a refit if either a British battleship circa 1945 or American also circa 1945 buy modernised to 1990s tech

I mean, the east would be tank land, flat, open terrain. I can see someone scavving russian and German tanks. Like Leopard 2a4/5s or some T-80s/90s. Unless you were virtually untouched by the bombs I don’t see how people can progress past what was there.

IMHO- I think your tech should depend on where you are and what was there before you. For example, if you take the Pacific, you should expect to find a lot of ships that could be repaired and canabilized for parts. Likewise for your land powers ( Germany, France) I would expect to find main battle tanks.

In terms of retaining information, yes some would be lost but a good majority of it could still be found and retained. In the nuclear reactor example, you might not be producing nuclear scientists but you will have people who know how and a reactor works enough to use one.
