Now, more generally... Folks, dial it back a notch, in general. If you can't - or don't - get along with someone else, add them to your Foe List. Don't engage in a back-and-forth, taking shots at one another and firing salvos between threads; that will always end badly for everyone involved.

Woah!
Well, congrats guys, this RP is officially complete, the whole package with people, flames, and now we have caught the eyes of the moderators

Loving it

Ah, the 18th Century. Political reformation, Colonialism, Mercantilism, Ideas of Revolution, of Change. The Enlightenment. This is the time when Empires come of age, when nations rise and the fates of others are sealed in this, the Great Game of Empires.

This RP will see you, as Nations, pushing the boundaries. Expanding your territory and influence over the entire world. Colonies, intended to gain control over new resources, soon become battlegrounds between competing powers. Internally, Enlightenment theorists gather the kindling of revolution against monarchists and authoritarianism.

Looks pretty solid.

I've heard some people talking shit like I wouldn't hear. Nice perspectives you all have hear.

Who the hell invited you? It's a join or GTFO environment here.

Please don't say that. South Vict. isn't even in this and we're treating him alright.

As for the flaming, guys, I ain't happy. I'd rather not have this here.

Aye aye captain.

[Arengin Union]

Kay. Now that all that is out of the way. Both candidates have given their drafts. Time for voting

[Rannoria]

Indeed. I'll post them here then the poll will be up.

Internally, Enlightenment theorists gather the kindling of revolution against monarchists and authoritarianism.

First, some ground rules.

To lay down some guidelines and rules of what will be expected in this forum:

1. No million man armies; the year has not been set, but it will be well before the time when any kind of army could hope to supply a million men on the same battlefield. Besides, dysentery is a nasty creature, and overpopulation tends to give it a boon. (Thanks Rannoria)

2. No controlling other people's attacks, unit reactions, or anything of the like. This is a particular pet peeve of mine and it can ruin a good thread. (Rannoria)

3. No shrugging off enemy actions like they don't affect you; it is okay on occasion to have a counter, or to.intercept the enemy's master-stroke; but you are not meta, and you will be unable to defend against all their blows. (Rannoria)

4. No name-calling (unless it's IC and pertains to the roleplay, foul language directed at other role-played, or anything otherwise unnecessarily hurtful. Constructive criticism is appreciated; bullying is not tolerated. (Rannoria)

5. No spamming or posting out-of character in the IC thread; we'll either keep this open for out of game chatter, or start a new thread for it later on. (Rannoria)

6. Non-human species will be allowed if this goes forward, so long as they have no INCREDIBLY overpowered aspects, or if it is a powerful aspect, it has drawbacks. (Rannoria)

7. ONLY REALISTIC TECHNOLOGY! By that I mean ONLY technologies that were AVAILABLE from 1700 until 1820. If it wasn’t created in 1715, you can’t use it in 1715. Realism, people.

8. Realistic accuracy and things of that nature. This is the 18th Century. Even the best rifles only have an effective range of 100-200 meters and they don’t show up until the later years so most combat will occur about about 20-30 meters.

9. Berserkers are okay, however they are ONLY available for primitive tribal groups and NOT for more civilized armies. Additionally, Berserkers are treated as elite units so you can’t make a regiment of berserkers. A few dozen at the most for your ENTIRE army.

10. Gotta talk about weapons here. The bleeding edge of weapons technology is the Flintlock Musket. Brown Bess Muskets and the like. RIfles are specialist weapons, available ONLY to specialist skirmish troops. You cannot give your entire army rifles. You can make your own designs but they MUST be approved by me and my Co-Ops before they can be used.

!ARMY RULES!
All armies must be majority Line Infantry, armed with muskets and fighting in line formations. No more than 1/10th of the Army may be Grenadiers. Artillery will be very limited. Cannons are expensive. For every 10 regiments of Infantry you can have 1 Company of Artillery. Cavalry will be limited to no more than ¼ of total force strength. NO ARMY may have more than 1 million men. This is the 18th Century and really, 1 million is virtually impossible for a single nation. Napoleon’s Grande Armee wasn’t even 700,000 strong at his HEIGHT and the British Army didn’t raise more than 250,000 men. So most armies will be limited to 500,000 men and under. However, colonial forces are permitted but they must be militia and will not be able to have artillery unless they belong to a wealthy colony.

Warships MUST follow the following Rating System:
Ships of the Line are First Rates, Second Rates, Third Rates, and certain Fourth Rates.
A First Rate will have no less than 100 guns, no fewer than 3 gun decks, and between 850 and 880 men. No Navy can have more than 7 First Rates to begin with and only truly powerful Empire’s can afford First Rates.
Second Rates will have between 90 and 98 guns, no fewer than 3 gun decks, and between 700 and 750 men. No Navy can have more than 9 First Rates at the start and they will be rare outside of the more powerful nations.
Third Rates will have between 64 and 80 guns, with no fewer than 2 gun decks, and 500-650 men. No Navy can have more than 100 Third Rates to begin with and they will be the most common ships of the line, though still in small numbers for most powers.
Fourth Rates will have between 50 and 60 guns, with no fewer than 2 gun decks and between 320 and 420 men. These will be the poor man’s ship of the line and total will be determined on a case by case basis.
Fifth Rates will have 32-44 guns, with 1-2 gun decks and 200 to 300 men. These will be among the most common ships afloat, with a maximum initial allowance of 134.
Sixth Rates will have between 20 and 28 guns, with 1 gun deck and 140-200 men. These will be the red-headed stepchild of the smaller rates, kinda like the Fourth Rates and total will be determined on a case by case basis.
Sloops and brigs will be classified as any ship with fewer than 20 guns and will make up the majority of ALL navies, since they are cheap and simple.
Please note that all initial force strengths, with the Army and Navy, will be determined on a case by case basis. Rigged ships are more expensive than you think.

1950’s-2000’s Era RP: The Following

This RP follows a series of very successful RP’s, the 1870-1920’s Era War RP, OP’d by the always admired Rannoria. I was elected to become the next OP of the series continuation and I hope I can fill in and do as good as a job that Rannoria did. This RP is a continuation in regards to Lore but not a direct continuation of the events that took place in the last incarnation. However, it takes places in the same universe, same lore, same nations, and only a few decades after the Great War that took place. Each nation will have the chance to describe the events that occurred in their nations after the war. And this will be an RP more focused on the modern technologies and innovations of the 20th century, as well s politics and many other things. I hope everyone can have a good time, and I sure hope previous members of the RP join up.

This RP includes, but is far from limited to:

- Colonial and national uprisings as people began to grow frustrated with their overlords.

- Political turmoil, special operations, cold war between nations, puppeteering of nations, inciting rebellions, battles of ideology, proxy wars, and all out trade war.

- A wide variety of interweaving alliances and things of such a nature.

- Mid to late century politics, such as the belief of different economic and political system being superior to the other.

- international incidents that explode overnight from something as small as a border skirmish over a herd of sheep.

- pitched and unpitched battles raging on the scales from a few hundred men to over a hundred thousand

If anyone finds themselves interested, and actually replies to this, I'll have the application up first thing tomorrow; certainly hoping someone will as it's quite the interesting era.

With that good Sir (or Madame, depending on who's reading this) I leave you to your keyboards and hope you'll bite.

Here, guys.

BTW, I didn't include the rules because I'll basically use the same ones that Manticore is using, they seem pretty universal. If thats okay.

[The Manticoran Empire]

Check the poll.

How long will the poll run?

[Skarten]

I've heard some people talking shit like I wouldn't hear. Nice perspectives you all have here.

YEET

[Apror]

Guys, I need help. So, basically, I'm contemplating fighting a war to keep land. I have Aerial and Naval dominance, but they have a large population. However they just got done with a long civil war, and my army is better.

More details, please.

Basically I'm the Texan Empire, and I Control three Northern States from Mexico after invading the Empire of Mexico who was fighting the Cartel. They signed a peace, and now the Empire is looking at my Mexican land. I have 135 Million people, they have some more that 150 Million people. Like probably in the 200 hundred millions. I would have Air Superiority, and Naval Supuriority, but lack numbers.

Dude, they barely do, alright. Not to mention you are Texas. They have just finished a major war with a Criminal organization that has likely destabilized their government. They make the wrong move, run them down with legions of tanks and scores of aircraft. Savage their coastline. Make them rue the day they challenged Texas!

Also, what RP is this?

Technically they joined with it, making the Cartel a legal organization. Also, I'll get it in a second.

Here it is, I'm still trying to see if I'm willing to risk the invasion. It's an internal battle right now, but I'm still trying to calculate out the chances of our survival.
