I gotta be honest, guys.  I am actually finding updating and constantly following this game to be a tremendous consumption of time and attention.  Frankly, I am seriously considering either dropping the project altogether or passing it off to anyone who I

Author Topic: Nation Forge — Iron Desert [1863] — Beware the Ides of March  (Read 189120 times)

This is my first nation RP and I feel there's a dozen rules here that are just assumed that to know.

Is there any rules on how to make a military?

I would merely suggest that you write out your military statistics, and keep record of it. It prevents asspulling on your end, and it makes for better RP.

okay so im trading with vlast, valbrandsvag, and seris?


Diplomats head to Valbrandsvåg to continue their quests for friends.

They request for a nation trade, and possibly a alliance.
Valbrandsvåg opens trade with Milhamiah. Grand Duke Theovald II and his advisors discuss the possible alliance between the two parties.

Swat, Swat and I have come to an agreement. That land to the south of Reflum is under my ownership. There will be no taxation between the two straits.

As our diplomacy on the issue is over, I extend to Anglond an alliance offer. Surely our similar cultures can bring relations between us.

Via one of the Oligarch's personal frigates, a represenative is sent to Valbrandsvag to nicely ask them to not expand to the coast at their east, but rather northwest. It is also asked if they would like to perhaps join in alliance with Walshk.

i confirm this agreement.

however, for now, i must hold on that alliance offer. i must go right now and there is something else that i must confirm.

Kyrev signs a defensive pact with Washk.


were we contacted by arcon
Sure.  Arconian shipmen would have seen a new flag and would have handed out a letter to the commander.



Romekati labourers begin to explore the dirtier, rockier portions of the nation's holdings in an attempt to find land suitable for farming that has yet to be worked.

Surveyors are sent east of Säteförromek to locate workable land among the dunes.
In the mountains, there are some wild spices growing among the rocks.  The dunes are dry as a bone, save for one oasis 10 miles out.  Although rare, a few springs are located as well.

Also note that because of high altitude in your area, the nights would be bitterly cold.



anglish farmers seek out farmland along the frisian river.
They find lots of fertile land along the river.  The Frisian river is also found to be navigable by 2-4 barges side by side.



Op, can I extend my borders to the mountain pass?
You don't need to ask.  Just say you do it.  If a moderator says that an action breaches a rule, you then have a cause for concern.

Aselien expands to the mountain pass, but pisses off a lot of natives.

Thanks for letting me know.  What's the status on the portion there?  Is it the DMZ or regular owned land?



Milhamiah suddenly finds that is was attacked from the north by a band of cavalry units.  Grain storages have been looted and burned, and other small towns were moderately pillaged.  The raiders got away before any militant force could respond.



Arconian merchants that were sent upriver find themselves among the Sonodine peoples.  They wish to open a trade route with no more than small tariffs allowed on either side.  Notice is sent back to Oydvyn to request that a letter be drawn up to invite Sonodine to send a delegate to the conference.

kill
confirmed



Kyrev we do not want conflict and for now we would simply like to be neutral with a neutrality pact.



Head to the Arconian conference.



We proclaim the desert sand below the lake of Hadithah and begin expanding towards it.

OK.

I'm devoting 7% of my 50,000 peeps to make a 3,500 man army.
We'll produce 12 frigates with 200 men per ship
700 men running infantry with rifles
300 men running 5-man crews operating a total of 60 cannons,
and 100 men running the cavalry/scouts.

I'm going to refrain from complex diplomacy for now and focus on internal growth and technology.
At least, as much as I can.

Questions:

What do trade routes do in the context of this game?
Do I get a notice of what resources my island has or do I just make it up as I go? I'd like to know so I can decide which way my country can develop.

An expedition is dispatched to claim the lands around the river to the east of Adenbell.

A trade ship with consumable foods is sent up the river to Kyrev, though they must pass through Milhamiahian territory.



military added to nation post

Activate the Government Forces and position them to where the looted towns are. Use them as a workforce along with the peasents to repair what is lost.

By Decree of the Washkian Government, 500 men will be took out of the reserve to partake in training of congreve rockets,

By this order, the 1st WAF Rocket Artillery is formed with 500 men.
