WWI: Clash of Empires - Discussion thread [Concluded]

[Ibn-Khaldun]

This doesn't make me invasion fodder, does it?

Does one's city/ies being occupied mean defeat? :3

No, it doesn't. If someone attacks you(or if you join the Great War) then other cities will be revealed. Your attacker must also deal with shortage of supplies/ammo/food. Launching an invasion against you would be quite impossible.

Also no to your second question.

[Centurion1]

So pumped right now!

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Yes you can join. Just PM Prince Cobra. I think he doesn't mind you helping him.

I'll send the details about the empires to the leading players(if there are more than one) and post the game thread(for IC diplomatic announcements etc) tomorrow. It's quite late in here and I don't want to make any mistakes with the infos.

However, I can tell you how many cities each of you have. These are the cities on your core hexes(not counting colonial cities).
British Empire (2): London, Edinburgh
France (5): Paris, Nancy, Brest, Bordeaux, Marseilles
Italy (3): Rome, Milan, Venice
Austro-Hungarian Empire (4): Vienna, Budapest, Trieste, Lvov(Lemberg)
German Empire (5): Berlin, Königsberg, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt
Russian Empire (7): St. Petersburg, Warsaw, Archangelsk, Moscow, Sevastopol, Rostov, Tbilisi
Ottoman Empire (5): Istanbul(Constantinople), Angora, Alexandretta, Erzerum, Baghdad, Jerusalem
United States of America (1): Washington

Do we get to know how many troops we have,etc...?

How could I refuse you such an honour?


On a different matter, waiting for the intro.

You can't or I'll fire you in the CoE IH!


Just Joking!

It is a pleasure playing with you (again).

Dude by the end of the day your going to be getting a huge PDF if this is like the last game

The last one wasn't THAT huge

Bet this one will be thought. did I mention this is gonna be awesome?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

1. You'll get the list of units and all the other details about your empires tomorrow. There are couple of things I need to check before I send them. However, I'll post the IC Game thread today.

2. There were 3 pdf files I sent to john and woad. They were 10, 3 and 11 pages long. Players get an edited version(3-in-1) which is a bit shorter. You should get it when I'm done editing it(about a hour from now).

3. If you hope to see historically accurate armies then I have to disappoint you. The German Empire is the only one who have armies closest to the ones before the war started.

P.S. It was such a beautiful day in here today and it would've been a sin not to spend it with my family. This is the main reason you will not get the details about your empires.

WHOOO PMS TOMORROW!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Your PMS starts tomorrow? Thanks for telling us.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

The Carebear store in Swissland sells tampons you know .

Is there a middle finger smiley?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

The Manual

I'll post it in the Game thread and edit it into the first post of this thread as well.

During the game I take the liberty to add/remove parts from it. I'll let you know if I make changes. Most likely I'll add parts that for some reason I have missed.

[Double A]

What do 0,5 million pounds and 0,25 million pounds mean? I get 5 million, but not 0,5.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

0,5 million = 500 000
0,25 million = 250 000

[Centurion1]

dear jesus double a............. half of a million is 500000

anyway im going to print this out and take it with me to read at the pool.

Amateur. I read while I walk down the street

[Centurion1]

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

brother i read while i eat.

.... Touche. I admit I have been bested.

[Double A]

I'm not used to seeing commas being used as decimals

[Subotan]

Erm...

What the Hell I'll go for Austria, provided the game starts AFTER Wednesday Morning.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Your next post made me think that you are not sure what country you'll take. And since you didn't made any posts after that could've made things clearer then..
I apologize if you wanted to join as Austria and I ignored it.
However, you can still join the game as Austria or any other country. Just send the existing players a PM that you want to join and that's all. I think people will be happy to share the weight of this game with someone else.

[Centurion1]

Thought subotan was France?

[woad&fangs]

Good luck to all players.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Good luck to all players.

Thanks. Good luck to you and john as well. Even cohosting this beast is probably going to be a burden.

for that matter good luck to you Ibn Hopefully this one doesn't become too much.

ooc: Is there an ooc thread?

[seireikhaan]

ooc: Is there an ooc thread?

Ibn-Khaldun stated in the OP of the game thread that players were only to post IC in that thread. So, I guess that makes this the ooc thread.

[Double A]

I'm so confused, Sadiq.

[Secura]

We post OOC stuff here, such as general discussion about how the game's going and so on.

The Game Thread itself is reserved for in-character posts, be it as Woodrow Wilson, Wilhelm II, David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau, Nicholas II, Mehmed V, Franz Joseph I or Antonio Salandra & his successors. I'd expect things such as political speeches, condemnation of war, alliances and so on to be discussed in that thread, but I think Ibn will clarify either way. :3

Everything you said is correct.

Any chance of getting a job as a general? Policy maker? etc?
