By update, I meant post a new ORBAT with new numbers as well, detailing casualties.

[Blakullar]

Diving in to check for signs of life.

[Vistora]

Diving in to check for signs of life.

Shit, I almost forgot. I was gonna post an IC status update, but to hurry things along I think I'll just fast forward to July 8th, when my fleet's slated to arrive at the objective.

Let me do that for you...

Let me do that for you...

Let me know if I'm reading this wrong, but ... you've already almost mined all of the crystals and established a permanent, thousand-strong settlement, all in the space of a day?

[Novorossitov]

It was existing before that.

I thought the Sonoran desert as a whole was crystal-rich and would thus have many settlements from many nations.

I was operating on the basis of Vis already having established that the deposit is newly-discovered and everyone's trying to make a mad scramble to secure it. The only settlements you mention are trading posts, and I always thought they (as it says in your app) were on the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

They are former mining stations. Also, yes, the deposit is newly-discovered, but it's not like the desert was completely ignored. It's a desert. Deserts usually have minerals, plus people may have just had no need, nor want, to go farther into the desert towards the center where the deposit it, but, assuming the desert has a healthy amount of crystals, they were, eventually forced inwards anyways to try and find more crystals.

No...

The premise of the RP is that the giant, single deposit was just discovered. Also, no chance in hell would there be permanent settlements in the Infernal Wastes, as it is so intensely inhospitable to life. The idea is that everyone would be hauling in their mining equipment to scrounge as much as they could, then get the hell out of dodge, and that they are bringing along a shitton of heavy arms to fend off any competitors for the valuable resource. If the entire desert was full of it, we very well wouldn't need to fight over it, nor converge on the single objective.

I'm sorry mate, but you presumed way too much. The OP makes it rather clear that the Infernal Wastes is pretty much entirely barren, and that even stepping foot in it is practically a death wish. Without a single, central deposit, as Blak mentions, there's no reason for the mad scramble towards it.

Alright, I understand. But, still, a desert has minerals, and I know the Sonoran desert is mineral-rich. Would it not make sense for mining bases to be established? Villages, unless in domes, are a bit of a stretch, but people would still want to get minerals there, so a few bases might exist, domed and small.

Unfortunately no. The Infernal Wastes in the Altvist canon are a lot more dangerous than the Sonoran desert today, and only the huge crystal deposit is so valuable as to make mining in the desert economical.

In any case, that part can be overlooked. What is not negotiable is that Novorossitov could not have been at the mining site for very long, and they could not have extracted a significant portion of the crystal deposit just yet. If all of the crystal is gone, there's not much of a point in continuing.

Which is better, 10 years or 5 years at the site?

Also, Eternis has never been at the deposit before, so it's untouched.

Sorry for taking so long to get back. Sickness and adult obligations conspired to chain me down. BUT I SHAN'T EVER BE CONTAINED

So long as the primary central deposit remains largely intact, everything else is inconsequential and thus permissible.

Also, I can guarantee I'll finally get back to posting this Friday, when I finally have my mountain of shit good and done. -_-

[Blakullar]

A week and two days later should be enough time before I come in here to poke this thread and see if it's still alive.

[Tundra Terra]

its been on ice

[Vistora]

Yeah. I've been trying to find an opportunity to post, but the spare time I anticipated as forthcoming... wasn't. Nevertheless, I might be able to catch a moment tomorrow, at least until I inevitably fudge that.

[The Supreme European Empire]

Sorry I've been gone for a while, I was very busy during the holidays and hadn't had time to post anything. But I should hopefully be able to get something up within the next few days.

[Blakullar]

I'm inclined to think I should get to deploying my ground forces at some point soon - will possibly get a post up this weekend.

Sweet, that'd be good. My forces are now in position to commence the next stage. This next battle is likely to be the last before we wrap up, and I have a pretty epic ending planned...

[The Supreme European Empire]

Just in case there is any confusion, the Einherjar are just renamed Kommandos, not a new addition.

[Blakullar]

Let phase two of the Bay-esque symphony of explosive destruction commence!

[Tundra Terra]

So the "Man-Reaper" is now targeting the Hadron Cannon? what about the crystal deposit?

[Blakullar]

So the "Man-Reaper" is now targeting the Hadron Cannon? what about the crystal deposit?

Presently, Trotskaya's forces are advancing on the deposit, supported by a heavy armour group approaching from the east. Ippolyta, meanwhile, is preparing her forces to attempt a hijacking of the Pyramidion. Yulia, meanwhile, is supporting everyone with her fleet, with the number of nuclear warheads deployed depending on how pissed off she gets with the Europeans later.
