Is it a problem I'm trading my units in on 1:5 ratio? I want real crack troops for my people.

Would lightly armed transport ships count as regiements?

You should spend regiments on any warships you want to see stand up to a fight. You could transport armies via merchant marine, but they would die fast against ships someone payed regiments for.

Look at the map right now.

See how its one colour?

That's what the game map is going to look like soon, and that will be my nation's colour.

I'm going to get everyone, but first the nations next to me.

Sheesh, western Europe has three Grand Powers back to back to back... that's going to be pretty

You do realise that we'll band up against you in about 5 minutes flat, right?

How large a force of effective galleys would 10 regiments buy me?

What kind of troops is a 1:3 going to give me?

I don't think so... why? Because traveling half the continent to fight a barbarian horde, with only a slim prospect of getting land you might desire, is not going to be profitable for people without a religious reason to do so. Also if you start sending men, your neighbors are going to take that as an invitation to screw you over, and invade while your troops are half a world away.

Nations next to the ones I'm hitting now coming against me, that I can see, but everyone? Not likley.

Innocent Bystander appears in the Ratification thread as a regional... I'm wondering if there's been some kind of mistake in the OOB thread.

Enough to transport most of your troops, as well as engage some navies. That being said, my Home Guard parasite craft would tear you multiple new ones if you approached(Unlike Rogue last time, I know the value of home-based fighters, and thus declared 20 Regiments worth of my Parasites to permenantly guard my home). I know Storm used 25 Regiments to declare his naval force, he's likely going to be the major naval power. I declared something like thirty towards my air power.

No, but the righteousness of our cause, and our inevitable destiny do. BOW BEFORE THE THREE GODS AND ACCEPT THEM AS YOUR OWN!

Any chance I can join?

I know I am a noob and will certainly take no offence if the answer is no. If the answer is yes I would like to play a minor power on the peripherary of things. That way if I get out of hand and start screwing up the game, I can be crushed and gotten rid of easily.

Thank you for your consideration.

one question, do you have a decent navy?

if not, then, come and spill your blood upon my defenses.

Stormbringer · Post by **Stormbringer** » 2004-09-26 10:45pm

What would 20pts of advanced Navy get me?

I'm actually not going to be invading anyone, least of all Iceland. As a peaceful and self-sufficient trading nation I've got no obvious socio-economic causes for conflict. I do, however, want to keep a stranglehold on the western Mediterranean trade routes and the flexibility to engage most other Mediterranean nations if necessary.

::Smashes toilet with the Sledgehammer of the gods::

Water moving in circles is UNHOLY I tell you, UNHOLY!!! Sand is the proper receptacle of waste products or, lacking that, Cat Litter can be used too with the gods full-fledged approval.
