dammit I hate this stuff

Why can't it just be a bunch of small alliances vying for local supremacy, rather than 2 or 3 mega alliances ruling everyone? The 4 mega alliances I know of, Steel Brotherhood and Muslim forgets (sic), Interpol, and PIRATES only have about 14 people in our proximity combined. If we focus our efforts, we'll be able to defend against any attacks from them, spyloving as necessary.

Muslims: 3 nations
Steel Brotherhood: 4 nations
Interpol: 2 nations
PIRATES: 5 nations

SB and Interpol have some sort of pact with each other, so if we get attacked by one, we'd probably also get attacked by the other. The only 2 things we really have to worry about from any of the alliances would  be stuff tons of spies, and thousands of troops being pumped into nations that are attacking us. Other than that, we're pretty well off with our numbers if our guys stay online and working.

I really, really dislike these mega alliances and would rather break myself on them than join them. Having to do neither would be optimal.

new idea: attempt to form West African NATO.

or WATO, if you will

[DestroyerOfBlocks]

it doesnt matter how many nations they have near us as long as they can funnel almost infinite troops and cash into them, and as long as they have the most people they can and we cant. we will inevitably lose any war and it seems many people on their side are eager for one.

thus if youre pissed at mega alliances blame the game mechanics

[startacker]

Well there goes my motivation to play.

[DestroyerOfBlocks]

[Rigel]

Well there goes my motivation to play.

Same. I was in it to bring glory to fellow blockheads, not some mega alliance where I won't be remembered for my deeds.

in realpolitik, you take on the role of an actual country during the cold war

[Decepticon]

in realpolitik, you take on the role of an actual country during the cold war

[DestroyerOfBlocks]

i wouldnt put it beyond having the same monster huge alliances meta

[Nonnel]

yeah I think realpolitik's gonna get reset soon tho

[Rigel]

I have joined PIRATES, since they seem the most-likely to go to war with the Steel Brotherhood. They have promised us leadership of PIRATES in the region, so I'd recommend joining them as opposed to the Steel Brotherhood bully alliance.

From one of their officers:
"Well, allow me to answer your question with a question. "What do yer think?"...but patience is our virtue. We should not step on them when they don't step on us. At least, your boys can have economic build up without much disturbances...join us man, we rise as one. One friends."

"We are Pirates for the very reason we don't agree to pay any tithes or dues to any kings or queens. Yer will need to abide the rules set by my leader, Borneon, but the rules will not be discriminatory. For now brother, I ask patience from you. Patience."
