War

[United Deer of America]

I am wondering how to go to war with people? People join me and we will win!

The SC isnt the place. If you have a question post it in International Incidents, that is the place for war. Not the Security Council of the World Assembly.

1. I do believe this has been answered multiple times.

2. You're going to get into war with a total population of 5 million?

Hi there!

I see you're new to NationStates, and while my more...agressive colleagues here have already said that you've posted this thread in the wrong place, there's no need to get disheartened.

To answer your question, war on NationStates is not like 'war' as it would be in a video game or something else. On NationStates 'war' is part of story telling, and you cooperate with your fellow posters in order to tell a good story, rather than striking out to 'win'. As such, you go to war by roleplaying (RPing) it out with a nother poster, posting troop movements, attacks, and other such things, while they post their losses, and then respond to your attacks. With luck, your nation will emerge victorious. If not, then don't worry! The point of RPing war is not to 'win' but instead to tell a good story, and if the story is better told with your nations defeat, then...well there's always try 2.

Besides, part of the fun of NationStates is having your nation have a continuous history, and a loss in one war can always be fun to have on your historical record.

If you'd like to know more, start here with the guide to roleplay on NS.

Hope this helps!

*** Warned for picspam. ***

Aside from roleplay, there's gameplay conflicts which involve attempting to take over regions, or defending them against invasion. There's more on that here.
