Gameplay:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Turns: Each turn is 1 week long in real life, and takes up one month time in game. (prepare for a long ass game) In these turns, you may perform any of the following actions, which will be sent to me by pm:

Recruiting: You may not recruit, but will get 1/10th of your army back every two turns. (Germany has 5,000,000 troops. They get an extra 500,000 troops to make 5,500,000 troops total)

Moving: Mobilizations for attack will cost you $400 per soldier. (germany makes $650,000,000. This can mobilize 1,625,000 troops.) To attack or move, simply name the city you wish to attack, and designate number of troops you are sending. Also notify me of how you are getting there. Movement is 450 miles per turn. You must have a fleet in order to move an army overseas.

Fortifications: You may build fortifications. they are as follows:
Trench - cost ($0) - requirements (soldiers in area) - speed of build (per 1,000 troops: 30 miles per turn)
Large Fort - cost ($10,000,000) - requirements (soldiers in area) - speed of build (per 20,000 troops: 1 turns)
Small fort - cost ($5,000,000) - requirements (soldiers in area) - speed of build (per 10,000 troops: 1 turn)
fortified wall - cost ($2,000,000 per mile) - requirements (soldiers in area) - speed of build (per 20,000 troops: 1 turn per 10 miles)

For Defenders
trenches give defense of 30-100, attack of 20-100
small forts give defense of 35-100, attack of 30-100
large forts give defense of 45-100, attack of 45-100


Battles: Will be done in much the style of RoC.
Defender - Unit defence determined randomly from 20-100. Attack determined from 10-100.
Attacker - Unit attack determined from 20-100. Defence determined from 10-100.

The attacker rolls a die, and this is taken as the number who successfully attack the enemy. the defence than rolls, and this is taken as the percent who block it. The remaining attacks are then multiplied by .15 to get the casualties. If more than 1/2 of the army is killed at once, the army retreats, and is captured. If less than 1/4 are remaining, the army retreats, and is captured. Now, for an example on how this works out.

City defense: + 10
national city (in possesion before 1914): +10
Hostile city defense (belonged to enemy in last two turns): -10
civillian casualties taken in city battles (prevented by forts) (times .25 for round 1, times .1 for round 2, times .5 for consecutive rounds)
1/3 of casualties recover from wounds
No 100, only 99
If an army is captured, they get one round of fight first.



Example:
Round 1:
France (attacker comes first) vs. Germany(then the defender)
400,000 vs. 1,000,000 (soldiers in battle)

France rolls 60 attack. Germany rolls 40 defence. (400,000 x .60 x .60 x .35 = 50,400 germans killed) [reverse of def is taken to produce casualties]

round 2:
France (defending now) vs. germany (counterattacking)
400,000 vs. 949,600

Germany rolls 92 for attack. France rolls 24 for defence. (949,600 x .92 x .78 x .35 = 238,502 french killed) [decimals are rounded up] France Retreats with 161,498 troops remaining, and is captured by germans.

Ransoms: If you capture an enemy army, you may sell them back to the enemy for $1,000 per soldier. Or, you may execute them, or maybe use them to build stuff...

Losing cities: If you lose a city, you lose a fraction of your total population and un-deployed troops. Say, You have 4 cities, and you have a population of 4 million. You have 100,000 undeployed men. One city is taken, along with 1 million people, and your use of 25,000 of those men. (You lose a fraction of your people dependent on your number of cities. 4 cities, 1/4th per city. 24 cities, 1/24th per city.

Naval Actions:
Naval battles work in the same fashion as regular battles. Retreating ships will be captured.
Defender - Unit defence determined randomly from 20-100. Attack determined from 10-100. U-Boat defence from 50-100.
Attacker - Unit attack determined from 20-100. Defence determined from 10-100. U-Boat attack from 50-100.

Blockading a major city reduces the recipitent nations income, and halts troop movement to and from the city. Also halts naval production in the city. However, you have to fight any navy present.(Germany blockades Briton and France. France has two major cities remaining, income reduced by 1/2 per city blockaded. Britan has 10, income reduced by 1/10 for each city blockaded)

Naval recruitment:
Ships cost $500,000 each. U-Boat is $1,000,000.

Overseas speed is 2000 miles per turn. You must have a fleet in order to move an army overseas. If fleet is lost, army is lost. Max capacity is 3,000 soldiers per ship. If ships are lost, half of the soldiers aboard will be lost as well. Storms may damage fleet in travel. (exept for u-boats)

Income: total population multiplied by ten (except for russia, where it is total population multiplied by 5)

I will take Russia. if possible

Spain FTW!

I don't mind, I think it's odd the Host is playing as a crucial Country, but doesn't mainly bother me as long as he plays Fairly :yes:


To The German States,


Are you intersted in signing a Non-Agression Pact? Mabye even sent up a Trade Argeement?










OCC:

Gotta find out what Swissland's Leader was,and how big my army is in case I get attack (mind you, trying to be netrual,but this is IH,anything can happen) :yes:

Belgium not in?

If possible I'd love to be Holland

Call me when Canada's available, okay?

I never did this before, so I'll have some time to see what happens before I get in to play.

Grr....... all the countries I like are taken :no:

I'll take Serbia then.

I think Austria-Hungary is still open. If so, I would like to sign up for them. If not, no problem.

Welcome esteemed ally. ~:cheers:

So you plan on going the historical route, then? Good luck with that, didn't seem to work out too good in real life.:skull: Anywho's, all shall bow before the might of the Moroccan Sultanate! Long live Casablanca!

EDIT: Not so hot on the host playing in the game. No offense, Motep, I just feel its way to easy to even subconciously tip the odds in your favor.

I just assumed we started off allies...

Yes, but this time the Italians(me) will keep our word and stick with the Triple Alliance.

All the major nations are taken ~:cheers:

Morocco was part owned by France in 1914...

Oooh, slight problem for the Moroccan Sultanate. Just did a quick skim on research, and it turns out that Morocco become under French Protectorate in 1912. So, either I'll have to pick a new faction, or we'll have to give history a little bit more of a tweak than usual. If I need a new faction, I'll go with Norway/Sweden.

Morocco can just fight for independence against France.

"Italy would like to extend the hand of brotherhood and be the first to recognize the Sultanate of Morocco as an independent and Sovereign state."

I claim Portugal to be mine also.

Japan should be added to the Minor nations list, China also I believe.

No. I dont feel like including asia.

Garcilaso, you cant have portugal.

I, as leader of France and game administrator, declare that Morocco is It's own nice little country.

As for us starting of affiliated, no. We start off all neutral, and at the assasination of the Arch-Duke. We pick sides from there (Entete, central powers, and Neutral.).

I will remain as france. My backup nation of Greece has been taken. (And I want to play, too, damnit :grin2: . I will formulate my plans before I release the next turn, so I am not left with such temptation.)

I will start this as sson as I get some game stuff put together.

Ok.

Quote:

---

Garcilaso, you cant have portugal.

Cant I have it?

:bigcry:

You'd have to invade, and I don't think too many people will be happy with that

"Italy respects the sovereignty of Portugal and will kick Spain's @$$ if they attempt an invasion of Portugal."

You and what army??? :grin:

The German Army, we only stop for kittens.

Ill explain it later.

I am changing from France to portugal, need a new person for france.

Oh, In that case I don't give a baboon's backside about the sovereignty of Portugal.

Okay, since apparently I can still play as Morocco, I shall. I am leading the Sultanate(again).

Not so fast, I am still tweaking game issues. Morocco may yet be removed for lack of information. (sorry)

Ahh, never mind. I'll just play as France if I can't play as Morocco then.

http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-58192/Germany

They will be factored in.

Also, Give me time, I still have to balance the system. If you have an addition or correction to make, please, say so.

Seriously could someone explain what I'm suppose to do.

Updated....finally

Need someone to play France, so we can start.

Onc more, if you have something to add or edit, contact me.

Roadkill, look at the first post. If you are still confused, pm me, and I will try to help you.

Soo... Morocco's out then. In that case, I'll get this game started and play as France.

I still dont get it..... :sweatdrop:. This is so confusing, all this math and stuff, could someone just guide me through the game.

I think you need to work on the economics more Motep. Russia makes more than me :sweatdrop:

Do not worry, Roadkill, ask me what you need help with when you do, and I will help you. As it is, I dont know what you want help with




The Game Begins! Turn One:

Archduke Ferdinand assaninated!
The Archduke, heir to the Austrian-Hungarian throne, was assasinated by The Black Hand (for those in the furure, look online for details). Austria-Hungary demanded that Serbia do something. They did not act fast enough, however, and Austria-Hungary deemed them non-compliant, and soon declared war. The rest of Europe now much decide if they should aid either Austria-Hungary (Don Corleaone), or the serbs (Shlin28). Or even if they should remain neutral.

This turn will end on friday (by U.S standards), or when everybody is affiliated with either party, or has chsoen to remain neutral. When you choose your side, declare it publically, a tally will be kept. Also, send me the deployment locations of your armies by pm.





-------------------------------------------------------------------







I, Motep, Leader of the Republic of Portugal, will keep my neutrality in this war.

I, Warman8 of Switzerland, will keep my neutrality in this war. We will not risk our destruction of our country.


(I look to see if I find the name of my Swiss Leader, and Motep, I PM you soon :-) )

Wait so I can just tell you anywhere on teh map to send my armies to? In the pm, can you just show me how the basic pm would look like for me to send it.

wat about Poland? I know it wasnt a country at the time but could someone take over the population and potentially cede from Russia?

I think the threat of Polish revolution was long gone by this time.

Gah! My beloved Serbia is taken!

Are there any free nations?

What happened to Canada on the list?

If I can't be them, I'll be the US, then.

Motep, I'm Holland (as I want to be a neutral from the start)


So: Neutrality here we come

OOC: Well, I am Bulgaria. Since I do not have much PM space and I am a bit busy for polite denials, I will communicate only with my neighbours discussing the neutral position Bulgaria have (so far). To all: you may read the previous Interactive but it is not obligatory I will have the same decisions. Depending how hard you try, mates, I can be either your enemy or ally :beam: :bow:

We of Bulgaria declare we are neutral and we ask our borders to be respected. We also note that despite the territorial disputes with Serbia, Greece and Romania for the territories where Bulgarian population live, we will not change our stance so far. We sincerely hope a peaceful way out of the world crisis would be found!

Ferdinand, Tzar of Bulgaria

Vasil Radoslavov, Prime-minister

P.S. I will be replying on Wednesday and Friday on the messages. Do not worry if i am not fast.

"The assasination of Archduke Ferdinand is considered by the Italians as an act of war upon our Allies, Austria-Hungary. Italy declares war on Serbia."

:furious3: I'm so screwed... and here I was thinking of making a speech about how it wasn't our fault :wall:

Meh... might as well...

"The strong had once again declared war against a poor defenceless country... and though the kingdom of Serbia grieves also for the death of the Archduke, it should be noted that it was only the action of a few from the violent Black Hands that commited this horrendous crime, we, the government of Serbia, and its civilians, its army and its affiliated organisations, played no part in this hideous plot! But our borders will be violated, and our peaceful country destroyed soon... who will aid us? Who will take up the torch of Slavic freedom now? We, the people of Serbia, beg for the world to intervene, stop this conflict, and resolve the problem once and for all. But now, it is with heavy heart that we mobilise our troops, so as to defend our little realm... For now we stand alone, and alone we will surely fall...we who will answer the call of the weak? of freedom? of peace?"

Петар I Карађорђевић (King Peter I of Serbia)

A leader who cannot control his people is not a leader at all. You must take the blame for what your people have done, because it is your fault that you cannot control them. I will not declare war as of yet, but will await Franz Joseph to contact us with what he wishes my people to do.

And I see that Germany has no dissidents? Perhaps because your military crushed and massacred them all? :book:

My secret police have a list of approximately 50 known associates of the Black Hand. Simply take them into custody, turn them over to us, and this can all be avoided. I'm a reasaonable man, and I have no desire to flatten Sarajevo. But I will not allow the death of my nephew and heir to go unpunished.

Isn't Sarajevo in your land? By all means, flatten it if you want :clown:

We will consider handing over the associates, if only they were tried in an international court, and be treated fairly.

I meant Belgrade. You do not get to set conditions. We will not have you shuttle them off on a train to Moscow in the night where their Slavic brothers stage a false court to rubber-stamp their innocence. You asked how to avoid war and this is how. You do not have much time. Either turn the 50 suspects over to Imperial Austrian forces, AT ONCE, or prepare for war. But do not protect murderers and then claim you had no choices. Your choice is simple, turn over the Bosnian nationalists to whom you have granted asylum, or share their fate.

I hope That the countries involved settle this issue. I do not wish to see war break out, escally close to our small,peaceful country.


-Messanger from the Swiss

I do believe you two are already at war though.

OCC:Arthur Hoffmann was the Swiss Preisdent in 1914 for your information.
:yes:
