Mars 2050 - The Red Dawn - OOC/Signups

Well, effectively. French soldiers and Italian soldiers gain 1 HP base when mobilized.

If anyone's colonist has +1 HP, that is because they are veteran.

Since I introduced the veterancy mechanics after posting starting colonists, it may no be said specifically if a +1 HP unit is veteran.

But it is.

I hate to say it, but the turns are moving really slow. The people only posting rolepalys without posting their turns are making things much worse, as well. Are we gonna stay like this if new people keep coming and coming each day just because they're left behind? They can always catch up by doing multiple turns.

I'm going to progress to turn 5 in my next post, if that's any consolation.

Idk man, I didn't post anything yesterday hoping that today the turns would move to at least 2058, cuz right now I'm about to jump to 2060.

[The Burning Sun]

If two people go for the same thing in the crash site, how is it decided who gets it?

Nobody.
One faction pulling one side of the crate, the other faction the other.
Until someone gives up... or dies... it can't be taken.

Since rovers have three movement, whoever arrives first(uses less movement) should get it.

Possibly.

To be frank, the oldest players are the most behind, since they got involved in conflicts while the new guys are just chilling in the corners.

Veterans get +3 HP though, not +1 HP? I'm pretty confused. Why would a colonist with +1 HP Mobilized be considered Veteran? AFAIK my German buddies are +3 HP plus the +1 Mobilized.

Uhh
Okay, So, I too tend to confuse this but + should only be used if it adds onto something.
Units have 2 base HP
Veterancy adds +1 for a total of 3 HP.

[Harkback Union]

I've reduced the amount of kills needed to level units up.

[Harkback Union]

And, you can make your units fight each other, but you have to arm every unit involved.
Otherwise you're just massacring unarmed man and there is no skill gained in that.

Now that I think of it, their colonist is the most OP one atm, seeing that each get +1 Rifle or +2 bC per colonist.
EDIT: I think 1 turn should equal to 6 months instead of 1 year, seeing how slow-paced this roleplay is, in 20 turns from now people would still try to stabilize their economy, but by then their characters would be really old. In turn 40 everyone's characters would probably be dead by ageing.

I'm down shortening turn time. Call it a season, even, so characters will last for a good time.

I'm a proponent of short IC time - I'd go as far as to suggest months, but I might be more extreme than most.

Also, y'all will be happy to know that Seno and I will be merging our colony, make it a bit easier for us to get stuff out quickly

Ah yes, I was curious about that. Did you guys land on different base sites?

Nope, same base site. We share the one ore source and a meteor drop, as well as a water ice source.

By the by, if we do revise the IC implications of turns (i.e. from a year-long to a season-long), would we be wanting this to be retroactive, or would we just change it moving forward from Year x? Just a general thought.

Gotcha! That's what had me puzzled when I was looking at economic viability earlier. By the by, you do know that Base site had two sources of Ore, not one?

But, its 2050.
Nanomedicines and anti-aging pills can double lifespan.
I think I forgot to mention that.

Quarters/seasons are a nice Idea but they make keeping track of turns kinda painful.

IMO the colonists are nicely balanced.
There are ones that double ore output and ones that give you free research, for comparison.

I think we've all established that I only developed literacy well after applying for this RP ._. Thanks for the heads-up >_>

Now you know That's the reason I was so confused why you insisted you needed an ore doubling colonist to supply two factories haha.

Yus, doubling ore is noice. Or things like a free tech from the Americans. Africans are basically half of an ISA starting bonus by themselves, plus more efficient food producers.

Check the resource map on the IC, its got all the resources listed.

I'm a bit preoccupied to respond to every post, but you can assume that the colonists will join Ulls if noone else makes a bet, and that those who reach the crash site first get to choose first the crate they want.

Coolio. Quick confirmation question: would the ISA favor a smaller lump sum over a larger eventual installment plan? Or vice-versa? Say, for instance, I offered 7 Creds now, while Ulls offered 10 over the next five turns.

If anyone offers them 1 credit in perpetuity, I'll be impressed. Doubtful of your calculations, but impressed.

I'm not willing to pay nearly that much- but I am prepared to pay quite a bit. Their Rover and proximity to the crash site means they have very good odds of being able to retrieve one of the crashed parcels. That's value right there, a lot of it.

they'll take into account when you are paying them.
