I use my laptop and download the image, then I upload to a website called tinypic that turns the image into a code to paste in a dispatch.

Solaran olympus wrote:I was wondering when you were gonna chime in.
The reason why specifically chose 1800 because I want to give the players a chance to flesh out their nations. The year 1800 was to signify that every scientist discovered that steam can produce a lot more energy than IRL. Therefore, I want to see how each player explores this technology and how their citizens adapt to it.
To sum it all up, 1800 is supposed to be the beginning of the steampunk age. Then in 1859 the combustible engine is developed. By 1900, all of society is officially in the dieselpunk age. Finally, this RP will end in 1950 with the nuclear age. This is what I have in mind for this RP.

Oh, I'm mostly uninvolved, really. I'm not a massive fan of RP where war is the primary tool of international diplomacy - I want to be clear in saying this that I'm not criticizing it, it's just not my thing.
But I figured it might help you all out in the long run to coordinate a little bit - which I assume would be more helpful seeing as I'm pretty much an uninvolved third party.

Lemme requote my starting bit-
"I'm working on trying to flesh out my nation a little bit, I don't have a solid idea of how it functions/military divisions and the like. Right now I'm mostly thinking of going off of my stats, but even then I'm not too sure since I'm still a relatively small nation."

Otherwise, I'm not all that sure what goes into it? For inspiration. What's a sort of basic build that I could start with? I'm not sure what's important or how you guys generate your armies, for example. What do I need to get started?

I was a little hesitant because of this, too. I wasn't sure how war works or where to get a reference for an image in my head to begin with. I love the idea that Olympus placed out, exploring technology is what I love in a general 4X game.

1800's as a benchmark for discovery, with checkpoints for other important checkpoints its a nice idea. I'd be interested if we made how they harnessed better/more energy a good focus. Combustion engines are a good benchmark, but perhaps we should ask what the combustion engine did to become a benchmark? I'm looking forward to what happens when we get there. Or if anything else happens before, or alongside it, that changes things.

Olympus, it sounds like you have a firmer hand on the meta. Perhaps random events? What have you guys done in the past?

Well my country is based on the continuation of the German Empire so I've used the German Army for my inspiration.

Two movies one well known, the other not so much. Which is better?

Dhairam-deiarma

OOC: I. Vote Steampunk

IC:
The legislative body of Dhairam-Deiarma, the Masadhehadi has approved the creation of a new Exploraratory Fleet; the purpose of which is to explore, chart new new lands, and develop peaceful relationships with the peoples there if possible. Furthermore, the Masadhehadi has granted increased funding to the Ministry of Science and Technology in the hopes of furthering scientific progress. Time will tell if both these endeavors are to be successful.

-Ancient Arbanian Excavation site-
Group 921 had established a camp at the excavation site, soldiers patrolled the area as the scientists and archaeologists studied ancient artifacts left behind by the Arbanians trying to understand them, by this point much of the ancient technology was being unearthed and prepared to be shipped back to Allouxia for further research. While all went smoothly at the site there was a dark ominous feeling in the area. Despite much of the technology that was recovered being hundreds of thousands years old it was remarkably still working many of the scientists where fascinated. After further exploration a massive room was discovered on it weapons schematics. High powered automatic rifles weapons that where decades ahead of current Allouxian Weaponry.

Let's not...

I got rid if my Spartans so this wouldn't get too futuristic.

Remember, the goal is trying to restore the lost empire. Not get high powered assault rifles and futuristic gadgets.

Not trying to be a pee pee, but I think that's what we agreed upon?

P.S. yes I said "pee pee" because if I said the d word the mods are gonna rape me

Remember, steampunk!

Airships, floating aircraft carriers, etc.

Post self-deleted by Greater Balticia.

The Imperial Family of Greater Balticia announce complete neutrality, including the sale of goods to the nations involved in the conflict,but is willing to negotiate entrance into the war in exchange for territorial gains

Dorig strasko

OOC: D-Deiarma, would you say we're close enough to one another that we might have established contact? I'd be welcome to trade.
I think it wouldn't be too far-fetched that I'd have contact with Cote Azure as well by sea. I'd welcome trade with you as well! What could we offer one another?

IC:
Meanwhile, in Dorig Strasko- progress with the development of a new technology that might change life as we know it. Our Scientists are calling it a 'steam-engine.'
By boiling water with heat from an immense furnace, it's possible to turn harness the steam to create pressure in pistons. This technology has spread throughout the islands, and its application has begun a new take on seafaring. No longer do our sailors and fisherman have to bend to the will of the wind!

Explorative efforts are being considered onto the greater continent of Kodia to the North, with possible talk of expansion if suitable resources are found.
Dozens of ships are being sent to the nearby island nation of Dhairam-Deiarma carrying ambassadors and traders, with hopes of new growth opportunities now that they don't have to rely on the prevailing winds.
Along with that, a major trade expedition carrying has been sent far East in hopes of securing a route to Cote Azure and what they might have to offer.

With research into what the powers of steam might hold, military application, of course, has been considered. Time will tell what we may use and how.

Baltician Airships land in the Dorig strasko and Dhairam-deiarma Capitals after crossing Rubika with ambassadors hoping to make a alliance with the Fellow Island Nations,
2 Baltician Airships carrying up to 15,000 troops land on Umaes in order to find ancient ruins left behind by old empires

Dorig strasko

Dhairam-deiarma

The ambassadors of Greater Balticia and Dorig strasko are welcomed upon reaching the capital.

“Honored Ambassador of Greater Balticia, we are happy to accept your proposal of an alliance between our two nations”. The ambassador lifts their glass in a toast. “To the future, to friendship.”

OOC: Yes Dorig Strasko, our nations would know of each other due to proximity. We’d even have trade arrangements if your nation would too since Dhairam-Deiarma is always happy to make trade deals.

The Azuran troops have occupied the western part of the continent, and are pushing to the center of Umaes. An Azuran flying aircraft carrier accompanied by 4 battleships and 2 resupply ships make their way inland. All nations will soon realize it is a race to claim the continent for their own.

The Office of Naval Intelligence has considered war a very likely scenario for the nations racing for Umaes. The agency has taken precautions.

Southern Azuran Islands

Massive fortifying has taken place on these islands. The airbases and naval bases has been significantly expanded into the islands.

We should use ww1 planes for this RP I think it would fit the setting and time period.

Christ dude your whole navy is there I just sent one battle group. Also, it seems like they kinda just teleported. Please, make it a little realistic and wait for a little bit before extra ships show up.

IC: 2 more aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, and 6 destroyers are making their way to Umaes, and will be there soon to reinforce the new Azuran naval/land bases there.

A coordinated effort is being planned between Allouxia and Cote Azure.
