Earth: Empire (FT, v2.0)

[Sol Switzerland]

Puppet State made

[Interstellar Britannia]

Would any nation allow me to use one of their officers to reform my warriors? Perhaps England, Russia, or Eastern Rome?

I'll be happy to lend you a Lawrence of Arabia type chap

[Saudi States]

Sweet, same as the Savoyards, I control them but they are from your nation as a former military type officer.

As for effectiveness of Middle Eastern Troops fighting in the Western Style, some have proven to be effective as you said. However I will not try to create a totally European type army. Its just I need to train my infantry and armies to be able to fight in an actual battle rather than hit and run skirmishes.

So England do you have anyone specifically, or can I just move forward with a British officer under my pay and control him? I will come up with a guy for now and if you want it to be someone else/ a different rank just let me know and I will edit it

Also does Russia have a monopoly on Psychic & mutant abilities or can they manifest elsewhere?

[Saudi States]

Sure thing, also, are we enemies? It seems we have overlapping claims to a vast patch of desert. I guess this could be a step towards cooperation?

Sorry for not posting, I'll put one on ther counter revolutianary thread. Also Saudi states, we could work out something where I lend a regiment of Jannisaries for training in return that thte Arab states recognise ERE control of Western Arabia (which I'm going to assume they don't already) and maybe ofr peace along the border and such

[Archimedes Prime]

Nibbles the cookie with dignity.- I'm waiting for people to post in A Battered Golden Dragon and am working [slowly] on a factbook, I'm rubbish at writing them.

Also of the Cookie eating variety. Yummy. Will be posting in Battered Dragon tomorrow. Want to see it the British will be interested in a joint mission to Bejing, what with Hong Kong and Macau being so close to each other.
@Nicky let me know

[Tristaniano]

Anyone want to rp with the shadom of persia?

That might work out. You support my claim to conquer all the Arabian peninsula.

[MidwesternAmerica]

So can I have the Swiss?

[OMGeverynameistaken]

You can have the Magyars if you like, since Avenio didn't want them.

[MidwesternAmerica]

No, I think Ill take the Swiss, cause I think I could have a lot of fun with them for I have plans. Plans to make them like Orb from Gundam Seed. So Ill take the Swiss

[Empire Netherlands]

The Dutch could send you some soldiers. Were always looking to expand our area of influance to try and get in to the Great Power Gentlemens club.

Srry if this is a bit late but I had to jump at this chance because I have been a bit sick recently and just read up on these pages.

[MidwesternAmerica]

Alright, so what now that I have claimed the Swiss?

[Tiurabo]

In essence, you start playing as the Swiss. My suggestion to you would be to pick a relevant era of Swiss history to use as inspiration.

For instance, OMG is using his own flavor of Imperial Russia, whereas FS_America drew from (I think) the Roosevelt presidency. I personally am drawing from the period about the time of the Texas Revolution, with tailoring to fit the established State government and large cities, etc. It's no fun to copy those eras, of course, and that isn't the purpose of the game; but for a starting nation at least, that would be my suggestion. Pick a period, draw from it, get settled, then do some crazy/fun stuff.

Thanks for the advice and I already have plans for a thread that will set-up how my Swiss are. I been mainly looking at following the Swiss of the Cold War Era, building up to defend itself from two massive European powers.

Sorry I didn't respond to your telegram, I missed it before I responded.

The Savoyards are about to start a war in Italy too, meaning a lot of war loans and debt will be flowing into your pockets too, at least until the Milanese banks are rebuilt, so you'll have plenty to do there.

I was planning on it. The Swiss are going to take a more active role in EE politics, threats of Alien invasions and a recent massive war tend to frighten us and we now our valued neutrality will not hold out against Aliens who see us all as human.

We'll take some Dutch troops what'll you send? I'll control them though to get through my internal rp.

A number of officers and maybe a few companies of Infantrie and Litche Infantrie (infantry and light infantry respectivly) to help you train and defend yourself

[Saudi States]

They will likely be used to help pacify the various states around the Arabian Peninsula, not solel defense and training. If you want them only for defense though, that could work.

Well they would be transfered to you for a while (under their own leadership but following your generals orders) so as long as you don't offend them then you can use them for war. Just don't piss off the major nations with them please.

[Saudi States]

Alright and yeah, I wont do anything now other than fighting nomads and small fries. What is the exact strength of the unit?

[Of The Arch ilands]

[Sol Switzerland]
