ordos45 Posted September 13, 2002 Share Posted September 13, 2002 Ha! Finally found one idea no one has tried.It is an alternate history. The year is 1700. The countries of Earth are vying for supremacy.Now the rules:1. You can be any country you wish.2. The troop/ship/artillery combined limit for a country is one million. If you have more than a million soldiers total in your military you cannot increase it.3. During every battle, 1/5 of your forces are automatically killed as to keep everyone in line, plus however many are killed by the enemy. Thus, no battle can be longer than five posts.4: Country sizes-Small- These have few territories. They also have smaller populations. They gather 1,000 troops a post until they hit the 1,000,000 limit if they ever do. Example is Switzerland.Medium- Larger than small countries but not quite large. Example would be Spain. Gathers 5,000 troops a post until the limit.Large- Countries such as Germany and France. They have large areas of land and gather 10,000 troops a post until the limit.5: Highest Tech LevelsDuring the RP you can never exceed the following tech levels.Muskets- The best gun you can have. You can't get a better gun.Cannons- Best artillery you can get, can't get a better one.Battleships- The best naval ship you can get. It has 20 cannons, and carries 500 troops in addition to its crew.Trenches/Forts- The best wooden defensive structure you can have is a fort. This is a large wooden-walled compound. A few cannonballs can destroy it. Trenches are dug, and add to your defense, the best trench type has spikes either inside it or in front of it to impale rushing troops.Magic- None. No magic is allowed.6. Normal fanfic rules apply.7. No Superweapons, you can only use up to the tech listed in #5.8. To avoid large rushes by bigger nations in the beginning, everyone starts with an army of 500,000 soldiers, but no navy or artillery.---Let the wars begin.

ordos45 Posted September 13, 2002 Author Share Posted September 13, 2002 I will be Spain, Gob we need the other mod in fanfic vote finished soon, if you can. Since we can't moderate it because we're in it.King Philip orders the construction of trenches inside the mountain ranges that hold the Iberian Peninsula seperate from Europe. The half a million soldiers go to comply with that order, while the 5000 other soldiers are dispatched to defend towns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordos45 Posted September 14, 2002 Author Share Posted September 14, 2002 (Ok as to not confuse anyone as to the amount of troops/artillery/ships you have I am asking out of courtesy to post them on your post. That way you and everyone else do not lose track.)2,500 more cannons and infantry are ready. King Philip orders their move to the coasts as well to aid in project fortification.Project Mt. Trench: 50% complete, growing 25% per post.Project Fortification: Forts being stocked with troops and artillery at rate of 25% per post. Currently at 25%.When these projects are completed, I'll most likely expand. But not before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordos45 Posted September 15, 2002 Author Share Posted September 15, 2002 China would be a large country so you get 10,000 more troops a post, decide whether you want them to be infantry, cannons, or ships.

Edric O Posted September 15, 2002 Share Posted September 15, 2002 A shadowy organization based in Malta controls several islands across the Mediteranean. Their army is small but well trained in the arts of sabotage and assasination. They are the Byzantine Empire, what's left of it. And they have sworn a bloody vendetta against the Ottomans.So far, nobody knows the Byzantines still exist (you are not allowed to discover our existence unless we actually DO something on your territory, okay?)A great leader surveys his fleet. He is the Basileus Constantius XII, and he knows his time has come at last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is a glorious day.(OOC: Ok, for my own information in the next post, exactly how are the ship classes set up? I take it I can't build up 1,000 Battleships next round in leiu of my 1,000 troops...right?
