Length could easily be solved by having a mixed Magnetic Coil/Rail system which would allow it to fit Into convinetional weapoanry , power would likely have to be provided

That is considered low-tech and you can start trying to do that with the Applied Physics which can unlock Kinetic Weapon theories which will give you a railgun.

Which I'm guessing is the infantry version of the Vehicle Weapon Theories?

I thought the humans already sent probes to the planet before they landed.
Cause... otherwise they wouldn't know whether to bring sun glasses or not...

Right, ok guys, everyone has the Hydro plants, so go and make Hoover Dam's at your heart's content.

I think we lack the infrastructure for real dams... building dams require a lot of steel and concrete + You also need to worry about flooding the area. The water could just flow around the dam if you don't do something with the river first.
I build my hydro plant at a waterfall. That makes me immune from all these problems...

So they'd be a mid-tech unit. Also, might want to get year 5 up.

I'm not 100% finished with my post, but we can move on. I'll just summarize what happens:
Dr Ford notices that something is wrong with the simulation. He stops the experiment just in time to save the test subject. He realizes that the simulation's parameters were messed up from the beginning and they have to start the whole mind-altering drug research over...

Ok, that can work, I am going to do my post and then the year rollover for year 5.

And hydro tech is useless to those of us in desert areas.

A.k.a basically the exact same as 40k Fire Warriors use. Then said Fire Warrior-equivilant can't fire enough shots to defeat human wave attacks.

Rate of fire for the standard rifle isn't a major concern - as people won't have massive populations to expend in wave attacks .

A mass effect Rifle uses practically the exact same concept and fires fully automatic without problems .

Overall Railguns are fucking awesome ... More effective then lasers in many instances

Yes, and there are different varies( like one for ballistics and energy weapons)

Depends. I'm planning to follow a tactic I used in a similar RP in a similar terrain area using highly manuverable vehicles and infantry armed with short-ranged lasers. Since we've got sandstorms to cover our movement from aircraft and radar, we'll be able to launch guerrilla raids on the enemy.

[Imperial City-States]

We have Railguns now days , primary issue would be only adjusting numbers slightly to adjust for the Heavier Gravity . Very minor Mathematical jump there ....

That tactic is severely dependent on weather conditions , useful sure but don't base your entire strategy on random occurrences

Just to let you guys know is that mathematics and equations will rule the day, but tactics will be counted in because what's the fun if you don't do that.

I've also got sheer distance and the temperature on my side.

However in real life, weapons and defenses always go through a rock, paper, scissors type ratio so we may never know how or what happens in an actual battle.

[Imperial City-States]

Series of numbers won't stop a battalion of enemy troops from steam rolling your homes ...

And with that RPS that changes everyday with modern warfare as Infantry are fully capable of effectively engaging Tanks , where as Aircraft can effectively shake off most anti aircraft fire ,
It's not so much RPS now days ...

You could drill into the water table and make a new river SMAC Style!

Drilling that far is going to be very difficult and inefficient when you've got a lot of thorium nearby for nuclear reactors.

I am talking about how battles occur in this RP, in this way, we don't have number-spamming and people claiming that they are the greatest around and there is nothing they can do to stop it, because in this RP, there is always some one who can challenge that, and have the chance to prove that person wrong.

That is true, but location is everything.

Also, Imperial, each faction has a set of bonuses and equal negatives to their factions that will effect certain things that are based off Sid Meier's Alpha Centuari, I am just going off the bat that your faction is based off the Spartan Federation so your bonuses will be;

+2 Morale: new units start as Veterans
+1 Police: Extra Drone suppressed for every two garrisoned units
Free Prototyping
-1 Industry: +10% cost of unit and building construction
from the Spartans
Let me know if have questions and whatnot.

[The Nation of Hay]

Well, I think my bonuses will be as such:

Industry +2
Police +1
Economy +1
Research -2
Planet -1
Growth -1

I've never played civilization ... Help me out on all of that please lol

Its not civilization, Its alpha centaury!
Also, here is a full list: The more:
Industry - Faster Production
Economy - More energy
Growth - Faster population growth
Efficiency - Less corruption ( less energy lost in faraway colonies )
Research - Faster Research
Probes - Better defence against spies
Planet - Less pollution
Police - Less happiness needed to keep population in check
Morale - More experienced units
Support - More free support for military units ( more units you don't have to pay upkeep after)

Did I forget something?

[Imperial City-States]

Ok..... That makes alot more sense now thank you

[G-Tech Corporation]

So, Hay, you're on the central island yes?

[Lunas Legion]

So, Hay, you're on the central island yes?

He's the one further south than me.

[The Nation of Hay]

So, Hay, you're on the central island yes?

He's the one further south than me.

Yes, G-Tech, I am.

Also, I don't know where you are, but I believe I'm pretty far north...

[Lunas Legion]

He's the one further south than me.

Yes, G-Tech, I am.

Also, I don't know where you are, but I believe I'm pretty far north...

I'm the one right at the pole.

[G-Tech Corporation]

He's the one further south than me.

Yes, G-Tech, I am.

Also, I don't know where you are, but I believe I'm pretty far north...

Hmm, I thought you were on the southern tip of the central continent. That's effectively the same latitude as the Sons.
