New Player interested in Military Gameplay

Postby Lexvania » Tue Feb 24, 2015 5:09 pm

First off I hope I put this in the right forum, quite a few forums this game has. Anyways, I was never interested in RP, so that left the military like gameplay that would appeal to me. I have read the thread over it all the way through and sounds quite fun but very confusing and seems like a concept that takes ALOT of observing and practice. So I though I might ask if there are any Military regions looking to gain a new recruit. Given time I can prove to be valuable as when I commit to something, I give it 110%.

There are basic rules and i "go with the flow" based on the OPs rules.

If your interested me and someone else are planning a RP. one of the first i was involved in the creation of. I figured out a set of reasonable rules that wether or not you wish to base your military off your nations statistics. We also focus heavily in factbooks.

I may have to sit out the first RP because we also need a "ref" of sorts to determine who wins battles since a lot of the ppl iv played with are fairly new.

Its easy to god mod but as long as you think it is easy to avoid. Just dont have 1M aircraft or 50k warships in a single fleet and of course yes you will start with a army but it won't be massive. You have to mobilize and build more stuff before u hit Ms of troops.

All regions listed so far are raiding regions. Read up on any of us via the forum and make your pick ;)

The Black Hawks is, (correct me if I'm wrong, Jakker) the oldest raiding org still in everyday operation today. After a bit of a downturn in late 2013 and early 2014, the Hawks have been making a strong comeback the past few months with a nice base of enthusiastic younger raiders. There are lots of opportunities for advancement here, as noted by the fact that, who only joined a few months ago, am now one of the highest ranked active personnel in the region. This is not to say positions are given away, no - but they are there for those who earn them, and not gridlocked by older players. We're considered widely as the classier side of raiding, the more sophisticated, old fashioned group. We work with many other groups, notably the multi-regional imperialist force UIAF (United Imperial Armed Forces) and the more modernly notorious Black Riders, along with many others. I can truly say that this is the best region I have ever served in.

That said, I'll certainly give the Riders a good review too - they have more of a modern, fast-paced, more harsh modus operandi going on. More than a few people are members of both as well.

In the end, the raiding community as a whole is very close. Whoever you end up with among the big names, you'll do well with a little effort. Who exactly you join is namely a matter of which community you feel you fit best in, which people you want to put first. The bottom line is, though, that you'll end up working with all of us!

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have either here or via TG, and anything I don't know I can pass off to our military commander and effective leader of the region, Jakker.

All of the above advertisements have been from invaders. I'm disappointed that no defender has stepped up yet.
Therefore, I'd like to invite you to join Spiritus, and in turn, the Spiritus Defense Force, one of most active defender militaries out on the field right now.

Who even likes raiding anyways? :p

I can list a few dozen names, but that'd just clog up the thread ;) If you're going to go to the icky light side Spiritus is not a bad place to go. <3 Salax :P

Fort Triumph is worth checking out as well.

LOL and I was just about to advertise on behalf of other defenders. You invaders flatter us with your praise, but I'm afraid that we've not done quite enough to deserve it over the past few months. Fort Triumph isn't doing too good right now and I'm not sure if its going to be around much longer to be honest.

Lexvania, I'd probably go with The Rejected Realms or The East Pacific. Both have very active militaries and are home to some of the most competent defenders in the game. If you're looking for a region that places a high amount of pride in its military, I'd recommend 10000 Islands. They are by far the most disciplined, although sometimes to a fault.

Europeia is a somewhat different choice from those already listed. We have an active "independent" military force which has the capability to both raid and defend, but we largely raid. We also have vibrant regional politics, cultural events, and nearly 8 years of tradition behind us. It's been my home for over 5 years now, and I would recommend it to anyone.

The Eternal Realm is open to all. It's an Independent, Imperialist, Regionalist, and Monarchist region aimed at becoming a significant self-driving force. There are also governing/commanding positions available for those that show dedication and commitment in ranking up high enough. Our ranks can be viewed here and our simple four step enlistment process can be found here. As a note, though, like most GP organizations on the Raider side, we communicate using Skype (no face chat or calls, obviously, for privacy). If you have any questions, on the region or just in general, feel free to telegram me.
