Fuck you. Michelangelo MacMillan (played by Robert Downey Jr.) is gonna be the Merchant of Menace


Oh. And I WILL be keeping the Mercenary Aces. Blow up Super Chechnyans, or Sumatrans, or Arab heathens, or Untamed Continental savages, or what have you - just pay the outrageous fees!

Oooh! Oooh! And DARK LIQUID!


Raj:

Portable nuke reactors, mang.

And Shroomanians are whimsical!

So the WIN finally has ship names. I'm still keeping His(Her) Imperial Supremacy's Wilkonian Honorary Oceanic Regal Enforcer as the honorific preceeding combatant ships so, as a for instance, the full designation for DDG-112:
HIS WHORE Alexandra DiPietro

Also recalculated to account for infantry vs noncombatant within the point system. The only other notable change is that the Navy has shrunk the CAGs (by 12 planes) and expanded to include an actual amphib capability which I forgot to include. It is noted at the bottom of the OOB but I have uploaded the OOB as it appears on 8/24 and that file will stay archived on my website so as the current OOB changes to reflect new construction, unit activation, and destruction in combat the original base build will still be available in case of disputes as to the speed of new additions or subtractions.

Additional information on command elements, govenrment, economy, etc are all forthcoming but in general if you want to write about interactions with Wilkonia just use the information from the first game as the govnerment won't change much though the economy will obviously be MUCH larger (yay Senator bump).

Last note, "New Horizons" from the last game will be starting up here but with a much larger defense budget it will mostly be Wilkonian funded with rollout to MESS members and other friendly customers within a year after project completion.

My economy is twice your size and filled with ruthless corporate types ... while yours are insane shroomy salesmen

Actually, I may hire them.

It's a couple of remnant colonies, some postcolonial shitcanistans, and an impregnable interior of jungles, mountains and deserts that's never been effectively explored, populated all by pagan Arabs who throw rocks at each other and live in huts. Except for the really rich ones on the coast who drive armoured Mercedes and live in mansions.

And don't ask where they get money for these goodies! And apparently I have such a colony, for obvious reasons.

Considering I'm on the ground in San Dorado, and Coiler is on his way, I'm thinking it should be very soon.

Fine, your entire nation can be richer than Michelangelo MacMill, but he can get second spot, rite?

Excellent! We can work together on those super F-14s as well!

Do we yet have a name for the "Dark/Savage/Unclaimed" continent?

that's all it's called. the Untamed Continent.

Undercut me and we'll show you the real meaning of "trade war"

Unfortunately, this time around I have no Tomcats, though we'd certainly be willing to collaborate on upgrades.

It needs a real name!

Velaria.

Remember, most of the coastline is already countries and colonies, though I imagine one is Japanistani.

Like the Fourth, New and Old Continents?

Eh, I don't think so, Japanistani territory is limited to the bit south of the Arabs and New Sumatra off the coast. Unless Skimmer feels differently. But that might just mean an ex-Japanistani colony lost in WWII.

Well, I've been calling the Fourth Continent "America" in my Cascadian history file.

We can work together! You can produce sodas and ground beef of dubious quality, and MacMillan will open up fastfood restaurants that will turn our enemies into morbidly obese slugmen!

(See, since a lot of people are wary of the IRT - we can still sell them under the cover of MacMillan mascots dressed as psychopathic clowns! Just like in that Demotivator Pics thread in AMP!)

MacMillan Fatty Meals!

Damn! We still have that stratellite deal - and I fully intend to go back making blimps and stuff. Blade Runner advertisements!

Valeria doesn't sound so shithole-sounding.

Not yet...

But with recent Japanistani U-2 recon overflights, and with Skim expressing to me how he needs "MOAR raw minerals!", that might change soon

Edited my UART post. The IRT is now in it.

And Langley isn't on the map yet.

I got a map right here. I haven't figured out scaling just yet , but I'd like to be placed directly east of the Arab Caliphates, in that first green blob of islands between the Old and Untamed Continents.

EVERYONE and ANYONE who wants to be in the FUN can come to the conference.

We don't even have a list of players who are in the FUN. Previous FUN members in SDN 1 are totally invited. Anyone who wants to be a FUN member now is also invited.

So, yeah. That's the point of my short and redundant post.

I am going to sleep now! Sleeeeeeep.


EDIT:

HAHA! Langley! That's an inverted map of the Philippines, with Palawan removed!

Put it slightly North West of the nearest Green Islands off the Untamed Continent?

Oh yeah, great job. Now my B-56G swarm can reach virtually all of Canissia without refuelling.

Plus, the fucklands are no longer a shitty little island set in the middle of nowhere, occupied only by penguins; but now occupy a vital strategic point between continents.

And why did you reduce distances again?

Fucking...

PeZook! Reduce the size of those smaller Impact Crater Islands south of Shepistan OD, so that we can have more space to move Shep AWAY from us (southerer! southerer!)! If his bombers can reach Canissia, they can reach Shroomania too! And then they can also reach YOU!

Put him away! AWAAAAAY! Ix Nay!

Just in case Sheppy-Pooh no longer wants to be my Super Best Friend!

HAHA! Langley! That's an inverted map of the Philippines, with Palawan removed!

We really need to keep the real superuptodate map somewhere, since it appears Marina and me are both updating it

There is a map thread...

Because it was part of the compromise solution viz. continent size.

Can my island be put back into the water or am I now a landlocked oasis in the middle of a desert?
