Humanity's Got Company [OOC | Closed | REBOOT]

[Jordslag]

I won't be able to post for a little while. I'm binging the last 7 episodes of Attack on Titan.

Heh, awesome isn't it? I've already watched all the current episodes.

[The Orson Empire]

That's a lot of soldiers for such low militarism...

Who cares? I got a million troops, which exceeds the population of my nearest non-loroman neighbour nation.

You have 1 million?

I have 500,000. I thought I had the largest army in this RP.

However, I am planning to build up my army to 800,000, as I am going to be doing some good ole' conquesting. I eventually want to create an empire similar to the Roman Empire.

I have 1 million ready to fight, but only 260,000 active.

[Ptolemais]

Quality over quantity! I only have 50,000 active troops, but they are worth about 500,000 standard troops

Mine are kinda like the Celts. They are a Nation who fights for anyone who pays them enough. Pretty much, a Nation-Sized Mercenary force. Maybe I'll end up working for your Roman Empire...

We would be glad to have your assistance.

My first target will be Neo-Assyrian's nation. After that, I will amass a huge army and blitzkrieg the Oni.

If it's Neo-Assyrian, I'm afraid I'll have to decline. Our races have too many similarities. If you attacked him, and I have the technology of sailing, I sure as hell will be helping him out. My 19,000 warriors aren't well equipped, but they have awesome morale and training, and they literally don't know the meaning of surrender. Pretty Awesome.

Hello once again for the third time!

[Firstaria]

Isn't the IC becoming a bit too much 2-lining?

[Ptolemais]

Hello once again for the third time!

Sorry, hello. Is there something you needed?

Isn't the IC becoming a bit too much 2-lining?

It is.

Well, I guess I will have to raze your nation to the ground then.

No, I just felt like saying hello

No, I just felt like saying hello

Oh, well hello!

Wait, you'd rather kill me than the other species in East Europe/Asia? I thought we were wolf bros 4 lief! :C

[Ghondra]

So Neo Assyria, the war between our two species have pretty much started. Are you gonna respond?

[Mnar Secundus]

-snip-

Voila. Here is my app. I only have 60,000, but my guys breed quickly. By the next year, they'll have almost DOUBLED in size. Besides, my guys simply don't give up. There literally isn't a word for that in their language. So, if you tell them to give up? They won't understand.

I suppose we could get allied, but only if the Elites attack both of us, or something like that. I'm sorry, but I don't see how you could help us much in times of peace.

I have 8 million ready to fight, all basically active We have a Fremen-like culture when it comes to war: everyone is a soldier by default.

Excuse me, can I know who is in North America? I control North-Western Canada. Haven't introduced my species yet, though.
Oh, and isn't there a problem with those Elites? Their Defense and Imperialism stats are equal. Isn't that supposed to be forbidden?

Aren't you raptor people in the gray?

We are. My app is on page 20. And technically, we evolved from avian dinosaurs, so we aren't raptors

Also, about this:

One word. Resources. While you play with sticks and stones, I'm smelting steel.

And? Why do you think people clear rainforests? I'll tell you why- mining, farmland and good real estate. I have a lot of that right now, and before long I'll develop some kind of spectacled bear/llama cavalry, thus giving me cavalry and improving one of the major problems Aztecs had when fighting the Europeans both IRL and in the DLC.

Sorry to burst into your conversation, but people clear rainforests for the wood. The Amazon rainforest has extraordinarily poor soil, and you can't easily build much on most of it, either, and it contains essentially nothing to mine for. Why do you think people there never used metal, never cultivated anything and never went beyond tents in architecture? They were as smart as any other ethnicity. They didn't have the resources.
If you want mining, go to the mountains. I suppose you could build things if you dammed the morasses and made polders, like the Aztecs did.

I see no two lining. If you're referring to the fact there are some shorter posts, it's because hey are conversation. Occasionally it has to happen.

If you sent your entire population to fight, or even half, your nation would fall apart.

We COULD trade.

[Jordslag]

Isn't the IC becoming a bit too much 2-lining?

I'm not Two lining. I write at least four lines. Conversation posts are shorter, that's all.

[Mnar Secundus]

If you sent your entire population to fight, or even half, your nation would fall apart.

My nation is made up of loosely-unified clans which only cooperate for the really big deals. They go out to fight in small commando groups. We don't do outright battle and such, as a rule. So in times of war, our entire population fights, but by small groups.

Anyway, Jordslag and Rob, I noticed in the IC that you're planning to invade Europe. That's not possible. Even with 10/10 in tech, you'd have AD 500 technology, which means no way of crossing the ocean and no way of even having heard of anything beyond it.

[Ptolemais]

If you sent your entire population to fight, or even half, your nation would fall apart.

Yes, people need to be aware that wars at this time period are going to be extremely casualty heavy. With such small populations, by sending your soldiers to war you are reducing your population. War should not be taken lightly, my people will avoid it unless we can be guaranteed decisive victory or we are defending ourselves. My nation is particularly vulnerable to this, but other nations will still be affected negatively.

While the warmongers are busy killing eachother, those not at war will be advancing technologically and socially and eventually the warmongers will be left behind in every aspect but military.

Sending half your population to war would be suicide. If things went wrong, you'd be at risk of extinction, or at least your power would be diminished dramatically. Hell, you couldn't supply half your population being at war, that's too many people not farming or otherwise producing food and other supplies needed.

[Mnar Secundus]

We COULD trade.

Absolutely. I'm not trying to make your progress impossible here, just setting some facts straight.

[Ghondra]

My nation is Britannia. Our Military are lead by Knights, and Generals, who answer the Emperor's call during war. There is a semi-professional Military force of about 300,000 Men, and about 2 Million men in reserve, who could be deployed during times of emergency.

I know. I'm planning on the ship failing. They don't know they can't get there. Also, I'm willing to trade food and other necessities for weapons with you.
