This Dark Age of Ours

There we go, not as much as I'm used to but I can go into further detail in the game itself.

Nation App

Name: The Kingdom of the Boros

Location:

Hider

May I kindly take the swath of land in white perchance?

Demographics: Humans, also some more humans. And some humans.
Climate: Temperate
Description: The Kingdom of Boros is a feudal state with hints of theocratic rule. It is ruled by a king who governs by divine right, a right granted to the first of the line by, if the tales are to be believed, a powerful angel who guided the first humans to work the fields of what would become the Boros lands. The Church of Aurelia preaches kindness and mercy, but also swift justice and willingness to fight evil. Many questing knights have risen to fight for and by these tenets, and over the years the Kingdom of the Boros has been cleared of most of the creatures who once lived in the woods and hills, while the peace of the king has been maintained. The lands of the Boros mostly take the forms of long roving fields, indeed once upon a time the crops of the Boros fed one of the great empires, before it crumbed away and left the Boros to govern themselves again. That said there are a few small forests dotting the edges of Boros lands, and the shore line is fairly unprotected and dotted in small fishing villages.
(I could go on, but I've no idea where to elaborate in particular. Fancy justice seeking knights with a shiny religion is a good enough starting point right? I don't want to spend several hours here writing small details with the game starting soon.)

This Dark Age of Ours

Hmm... A Nation RP that doesn't require me to come up with a complicated economy, that hasn't started already, with a simple but pleasant sounding premise? Consider me very much interested. I will have to think on matters of who and what, and would be welcome to any and all information regarding the world and its lore, or how flexible such things are for that matter.

I still bear my casual interest.

So I have a question.

If I used the three required slots for a supply truck, ambulance, and super heavy tank, could I in theory fuse the three vehicles into one super tank base thing? I personally am enamored to the idea of needlessly huge vehicles with piles of dakka and even some living space, perhaps due to Mad Max, or the orkish battlewagon, but regardless.
May I have a single vehicle, which takes up two support and a heavy armor slot, that is a supply vehicle, ambulance, and super heavy tank? Ah, and of course I'd also have the doctrine for super heavy tanks as well of course.

I've decided, in light of the fact that our tiny people don't have to be human, that I'm going to have dwarves. Dwarves with lots of artillery and engineers, so a dwarf support division. If anyone has any quarrels with such I would appreciate if you brought them up before I get too much further into my writing and thinking.

Hmm, I wanted to run a support division, in fact I had designed one almost entirely, but it would seem that we now have quite a few support divisions, perhaps it would be wiser for me to make an infantry or armor force instead. Hmm...

Sudden question comes to mind, do these tiny people need to eat? Do hobby stores sell tiny rations for the tiny people? Can one make a pot of soup and feed their entire tiny legion? Also, do these tiny people need to sleep? Would one need to build a tiny barracks in their closet to house their tiny army?
I realize that just calling them tiny people may actually be insulting, my pardon I just rather fancy the term tiny people to describe these inch tall living human-like entities. If one wishes I'll stop calling them tiny people and just call them MockZ.

I'm thinking about all this, I'm dedicating some time right now to consider army makeup, and doctrines, and I am suddenly very hyped. But what kind of force should I throw together? They will be dressed up as Boros soldiers from MTG, so heavy infantry, perhaps with plenty of airdrops and what-not might work, but I love the orchestra of a dozen or more artillery pieces playing in tandem, I enjoy playing like an Imperial Fist and just turtling to victory, but the Legion doesn't work that way hmm... If nobody else has any such intent, methinks I'll put together a force consisting nearly entirely of artillery, HMGs, and engineers. Hmm...

So I've a few questions regarding the setting if you don't mind. The first will be regarding the customization of the soldiers. These troops can be made to look wildly different while still having the same 'stats', but my question is to how different? For instance, could one tailor their militia unit to look like a horde of small arms totting zombies? Or goblins? Or constructs made of sand? Or are they restricted to being human in appearance? I also feel I must inquire towards replacing these tiny living miniatures. Normally these things are made of plastic and metal and what-not, and when defeated are moved off the board with ease, but these are tiny living people, being shot at by other tiny living people, logically if they go down and don't receive aid they die, so what happens when a unit goes down? Do they respawn after the battle? Do you have to pop by the local nerd store to buy a new unit?
While I am on the subject of tiny living people, they are ageless tiny soldiers with intelligence and what-not, so can they learn? Can they gain their own personality, become better at combat, learn tactics, or even just how to cook? Do they come out of the box with installed personalities and skill sets that are incapable of being altered? Can they make friends with other tiny soldiers, or with their owner?

Those are the main questions that come to mind, my pardon for the small wall of text but even if the setting doesn't need to make sense I feel like these questions would be helpful to address, though of course I could be wrong.

I can't deny interest, but at the same time I'm already GMing a RP of my own and am not very good at dividing my attention. Hmm... I suppose this is a matter I must think on, even if I don't partake I'd enjoy crafting a division for the sake of it so I'll keep my eye on this.
