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

another university is constructed in Kintyre

romekate declared that it was a satisfied state for now so I don't think many people will be worrying anymore

for now

At present, Avalonia would seem to lack the muscle to honor its alliance with Arcon and push out Romekate.  This is disheartening, and Avalonia once again shores up its border and interior defenses and the like and readies itself for the inevitability of defending its own sovereign soil.  Avalonia works to hasten its technological development.

Avalonia leaves the NCO, as the NCO seems, at this point, to lack the teeth to accomplish anything.

Avalonian firms begin to take a greater role in Arconian reconstruction now that the Civil War has come to a close.

alright we should cooperate



Seris builds up defenses in the interior and the Shimrath province, using barbed wire and reinforced concrete to build fortifications in the cities and along strategic corridors. The military conducts joint drills and training twice a month to keep the military at high readiness.

forget i would post something constructive but i feel like ass right now.

As it's first order of business after formation, Jyväskansa begins to put effort into increasing the effectiveness of their industry and administration. Settlers are directed to the (if still) unclaimed land on the eastern side of the Danst river, in an effort to expand territory in order to use more land across the river for industrial use. In another effort, a focus for manpower arises as a one-year draft is set in place, accompanied with advanced training in peacetime. While industrial expansion is a primary focus economic-wise, improvement of infrastructure is set in place as a side goal, as well.

also is no one questioning the broken map in OP



Vlast looks abroad to find replacements for its aging rifles.

The Maisner brothers offer their metal cartridge Brandt rifle.



still chillin with that 2 star, p cool.

Kyrev's half a million strong military goes through a series of general inspections and improvements. Military districts are streamlined, officers of all ranks are inspected and replaced if necessary, and the military service structure as well as the general method of conscription is simplified and streamlined.

Wilhelm I is an astute observer and a military man, and understands from experience the benefit of deploying rapidly and choosing the battlefield. To this end, all major roadways are rebuilt to a modern standard, and widened to accommodate for military movement. The rail network is spurned by the growth of the Kyrevan steel industry, and a supreme effort is made privately and publicly to connect every population center, small and large, by rail. The telegraph network is expanded to this standard as well.

To oversee this and more, the government is restructured to include new departments and streamline others. The Department of Infrastructure oversees the construction of rails, roads and telegraphs among others, while the Department of War oversees the status and deployment of the military while at peace. A Department of Munitions is established to oversee all firearm production, distribution and storage. The Department of Public Health oversees the changes made to combat the plague some years ago, while the Department of Agriculture oversees crop production, crop and land health as well as advancements therein. The Department of Scientific Study is a large department with many sublevels that cover a wide range of topics, from chemistry and geology to biology and pathogen study. The Department of Education does what it would be expected to do, and finally the Department of Natural Resources oversees mining, mapping, expansion and general land issues beyond that of the Department of Agriculture. Other Departments exist, but this covers the more important ones.

The Kriegsmarine begin experimenting with steel hulled boats armed with new pattern cannons.

Serisian weapon engineers work on adding multiple cartridge storage within the firearm for easy reloading to increase the rate of fire of Serisian infantry, to make up for the lack of firepower. They are also working on making the chambering process automatic, but preliminary efforts prove fruitless as more stable propellents are required to make them work. This task is assigned to the Materials Research team and subsidies will be offered to any company that comes up with a solution for more stable explosive compounds.

The Serisian military offers Vlast some surplus rifles that they have in their inventory. It is suggested that Vlast hire some consultants to oversee production and quality control In Their Industrial plants. Also, the rifles are free .

new romekate begins rebuilding itself

I wish there was a war map. Just because I don't want to freak'n go back to a wall of text. No offense to anyone who likes to do that.

The Yuanhe musket phases out and standardizes the arsenal of Constabulary forces, the Yuanhe having improved ergonomics to improve the users comfort in using the weapon, percussion cap mechanism for any weather shooting, along with a range of assembly improvements and such.

The gunsmith whom created the percussion cap mechanism in Samhe Sol, creates Samaku Gun Works, with his earnings from the government compensations costs in A'Yark Khanad. It works to improve the overall quality of firearms in Samhe Sol.
The Councillery deposes Carelhs Ohnaka of his position as Council Leader and he is replaced by Genpo Arewo. In addition, it commissions a device to standardize the amount of gunpowder used in Yuanhe firearms, in order to cut resource use.
