The Nations Game

[Jacko]

Sounds like a plan.
I want to have some useful land this time though lol.
Already thought of a Nation Name too...

Sorry guys, I'm really busy lately so I haven't had a proper chance to play.

I agree with a restart. I will surely play, especially since what I have in mind for roleplay shouldn't take me too much time. Obviously, no superpower this time, hehehehe.

In any case, if you see I'm missing from the game for a day or two (or a week), just don't think I've given up.

EDIT: Restarting after 12000 posts... I take a bow to you all!

[Jacko]

ok then.
When shall we restart?

Would you allow me back in if I played properly?

[Pilot]

It'd need to be voted on.

I personally say yes.

[APDAF]

Votes take too long.

[Voyager One]

I say OK but really, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, try playing nicely. It's not about winning or losing, it's about fun.

@Rijeka: Seeing as you have such a good shipbuilding industry, could we buy 6 Schooners off you? We seriously lack in that area.

[Jacko]

Dammit voyager you took where I wanted to start!

anyway maplock

map unlocked.
The New nation, the state of the Harkonnen, or the Harkonnen State for short (and on maps) has formed.
It is a bustling industrial nation, always trying to create the best new technology, and is currently working on improving its metal forging process.

We are always willing to share technologies in return for something we find of value, we ask the Free City of Rijeka if they would happily trade a few of their ships from their skilled shipwrights in return for new metal forging processes as well as metal itself.

Our Emperor, Lord Rakon, has always had a fascination for Glass materials, and so we also have a large Glass Works which he funded himself.

Our troops are formed form anyone who wishes to volunteer, so we are not a particularly strong, nor warmongering nation. Our transport network is currently operated by Horse,Oxen or People (working for some extra money) lugging carts around between the main 5 cities currently within our Realm.

That's my hometown area. I want to roleplay "what could have been" if Rijeka remained a free state.

Rijeka: Seeing as you have such a good shipbuilding industry, could we buy 6 Schooners off you? We seriously lack in that area.

We can offer you these (as pictured), smaller sloops or larger ships (square rigged frigates, barques, brigs or brigantines).

We currently don't use ships larger than schooners as the archipelago is better controlled by small fast vessels. (map below)

[Jacko]

We would like a few of each, as many as you can build in whatever amount of time suits you (as long as its at least 5 of each)

[APDAF]

Ve can build some 3rd rate ships of ze line for you Herr Bignone.

We would like to buy some schooners for now, and may come back later

Thank you for the offer, but we are covered for now, yet may come back later.

It depends on their tonnage, number of masts etc. Schooners can vary from 2 up to even 7 masts!

Usual ones are with 2-3 masts, 30-60 meters long, 150-300 tons of displacement. Larger ones are also available but we recomment square-rigged ships for large merchant operations.

[APDAF]

Refer to this for sail ships.

[Pilot]

@V1/Rijeka: We will take the ones that are the most common.
We have also noticed you need Petroleum, which we produce. Would you be interested in starting a trade agreement?

@APDAF: I will indeed refer to that. My knowledge of (early) ships is pretty appalling. Also, could we order 12 Sail Ships (based on a Brig design)?
