Movement/conquering territories/recruitment work differently in this theater..

Transport zones are marked on the map but railways or "minor" cities are not(yet).

[Double A]

Shouldn't England be to the southwest of GEA as well?

Oh was that Portugal? Gah stupid imperialism!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yes, that's Mozambique and it belonged to the Portuguese.

[Double A]

Oh right.

What about German WEST Africa? :P

[Subotan]

Togo? >_>

[Centurion1]

So what are we looking at for times now?

[Double A]

And New Guinea. Preeety sure Germany had some stuff on the north half of PNG.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Togo - surrendered on 26 August 1914. No real German military forces were stationed there.
German South West Africa - last German military units surrendered on 9 July 1915.

From the Wiki:

The Asian and Pacific Theatre of World War I was a largely bloodless conquest of German colonial possession in the Pacific Ocean and China. The most significant military action was the careful and well-executed Japanese Siege of Tsingtao in what is now China, but smaller actions were also fought at Bita Paka and Toma in German New Guinea. All other German and Austrian possessions in Asia and the Pacific fell without bloodshed.

This is also the main reason why Japan is NPC.

[Double A]

Oh well guess we'll have to wait for WWII for some Asian warfare.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Have I mentioned I am pumped for this yet?

[Double A]

No.

When does it start again? 10 days right?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yes, it starts in 28th. I'll open the sign ups in 21st. Those who already have mentioned in this thread which country they want will have priority over the others. Remember that I'm aiming 3 people per country. So, bring your friends with you!

I'll post the list of NPC's and colonies/protectorates later today so that you could start making your secret world domination plans already.

Edit: Also, looks like the military part is not the most important one. Without trading partners you could soon find yourself in a very difficult situation. Diplomacy and getting your Economy in line are much more important.

[Beskar]

Let's not go to war, all trade, sit around in a circle, then sing kumbahya.

[Double A]

No, then the Swiss will conquer all of Europe.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

When the game starts I'll create the IC diplomacy thread. This thread will stay for discussions, questions and answers.

[Centurion1]

Beskar your a damned communist but the beautiiful irony here is that you cannot give in to your evil hippie_communist urges and encourage the red revolution. Mwahahahahah I however am encouraged in my beliefs with imperial britian.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Btw, Russia starts with Czar ruling the Empire. When revolution does happen then Player(s) will receive an option - join the revolution or not. Choosing the wrong side and losing will mean the Player(s) are defeated and thus his/their former country will become NPC.

Remeber Cent. THE SUN NEVER SETS in the British Empire!

[Centurion1]

My dear man before we are through the sun will be a member of the British empire.

Seriously though you all stand no chance against me and cdf united we will devour you!

Why stop with the sun? I hear Pluto is a nice place. But really, lets not count our cannons before the French are destroyed.

But really, I think this is gonna be fun. (Ibn, what happened to the list of nations and NPC's? not to be a bother, just wondering.)

[Beskar]

Is Centurion1 the Queen and CDF the Prime Minister?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Is Centurion1 the Queen and CDF the Prime Minister?

ahhhh man. I wanted to be the Queen!


Also, I realize that due to the amount of gloating me and cent have done, we are probably going to be thoroughly screwed...... Fate has a twisted sense of humor.

[Centurion1]

Trash talking is an integral part of any competitive event. Without it our lives would be bland and meaningless it brings me joy; DON'T YOU DARE TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME WITH YOUR COMMIE WITCH MAGIC AND HIPPIE VOODOO!!!!!
