NationStates Jolt Archive

Apparently i have been accused of signing up just to advertise this game but i havent im juss new if you want you can check my nation and see i have been very active anyways i am just wondering who here on the boards has it so while were waiting for new issues and telgrams to arise we can play there arent many political games like Nationstates out there so if anyone else knows of any others please post them aswell! (CD-ROM GAMES NOT COMPETING GAMES) dont want any more trouble :)

You're not from an English-speaking country, are you?

Is it true you need a certain videocard to play the game?

Not even the damn demo works for me.

This thread isnt about finding out info on me but if you want to talk about super power 2 or anyother political games sure

Maybe what are you system specs colodia?

I played the demo, loved it. If I can scrounge up some cash, I'll buy it. I dont usually buy games, if you catch my drift, but I...

A. Love the game and the game makers. Possibly the most friendly, interactive, and helpful commercial game devs ever.

B. God damn cd protection, impossible to get through without way too much work.

But more wanting to help them out ;)

awesome lol well i hope you get it and we can play

Maybe what are you system specs colodia?
How do I find such information?

I know nothing of computers.

as i said in the other thread, i intend to get this soon :)

How do I find such information?

Start > Run > Dxdiag

Type in Dxdiag into the box, if you didnt realize ;)

On the first page, find what is next to processor, memory, and directx version. Tell us what they say.

Now go into display, its a tab on the top.

Tell us what is next to name.

Thanks chellis was going to tell Colodia how but took awhile to get back on!

i checked the book and it says the minimum specs are:

CPU:1.5 ghz
RAM:256 mb
Video:64mb with Directx 9.0c

Anyone know where I can grab this and how much it costs?

i checked EBgames and Gamestop website and found nothing but i did buy this game at Electronic Boutique i was there the other day and they had some so there might be some at one nearest you if not sites like ebay and stuff im sure will have it! i payed 30 for it but im sure its alot less now if you find it at a retail store,actually there site has it were you can order it but im not sure if it still works

Uh, Intel(R) and some numbers.

My video card works fine with every game thus far. Except for that Battlefield 2 demo.

Sounds like you have an integrated graphics card, colodia. Never good, but it should be working...

ya those intels arent any good my friend has the same thing and i had to buy a new card for my dad cuss he had intel to and i couldnt play any of my games my guess is that it wont work unless you upgrade which actually isnt that bad you can get great 128 mb video cards cheaply if you do i recommend Nvidia ive never tried ATI before so i dont kno how they are

It's like, I get past the two logos of the SP2 game and (Golemthingie and whatever) and then suddenly I hear a "bing" and the screen just goes white.

I have to press Ctrl+Alt+Del to get out. I have to end Joshua's Client and Renderer DLL to get back to normal.

I think that's all...

How badly do you want to play this game and BF2?

Also...do you have a desktop or laptop?

Get a cheap ATI card. 9800's are being used as virtual toilet paper these days.

Thats like asking a christian how badly they want to go to heaven ;)

lol colodia have you tried making sure your card is up to date?

Uh, good point.

*runs around trying to find out how, because Windows Update doesn't do it for me*

OK right click go to properties then click on the tab that says Settings then click on the Advanced Button then click on the tab that says adapter click on Properties then the Button that says DRIVER then click Update driver this should help if not tell me

If you want to ever play BF2 (and you should want to, it's excellent), you'll need to do more than update that on board.

I have the full game.

2.8 ghz processor
ATI Radeon 9700 Mobility Pro
512 MB Ram

OK right click go to properties then click on the tab that says Settings then click on the Advanced Button then click on the tab that says adapter click on Properties then the Button that says DRIVER then click Update driver this should help if not tell me

i have

CPU:3.6 ghz
RAM:1 gig
Video:Nvidia Geforce go 6800 256mb

i have the Area-51 7700 Laptop from Alienware

Colodia after you updated you restarted you computer right?

i have the Area-51 7700 Laptop from Alienware

My Laptop (with the specs I mentioned in an earlier post) is the Dell Inspiron 9100

..
$139, eh?

For a $30 game?

...Nah. This is the only time I've ever had problems with this video card before.

Except The Sims 2 is a bit choppy indeed. Annoying so.

Colodia after you updated you restarted you computer right?
I did.

For SP2, BF2, and for better Sims 2 game play...

Although choppiness can come from RAM or Processor issues.

By the way, unless you're getting a new computer in the next year, or plan to give up gaming, you might consider a new video card...

Yes very true im surprised you can really get games to play at all with the Intel i had alot of trouble with it but now i got this laptop so im set for awhile

Im sure if he waited 6 months, you could probably find some 9800's in a trashcan outside of your local compusa ;)

Man, I really want to play superpower 2. Such an awesome demo, I played it so many times, never beat the objective it game(though I often surpassed the US economy with Russia, using foreign aid from rich nations).

I had more fun building up an alliance with Iran, Burhma, North Korea, Sudan, and Ukraine...and then planting spies in the US, doing terrorist attacks and framing Iraq for it...

If I got the full game, I think I'd play as Iran or Saudi Arabia and build a Mid East coalition similar to NATO, except with much stronger ties...then start trying to get the US to go to war with other nations by framing terrorist attacks...

You could at least be more original and not follow RL events. ;) :D

the online play is like 100x better i dont even play singleplayer anymore man when you get a good group of people and a cold war breaks out and you get into a disagrement over foreign affairs it gets even better cuss you get people that agree with you and then people that take the others side its great next thing you kno theres WW3.the roleplaying servers are extremely fun as people play the role of the country as they are in real life.

Thats it. Im getting a friggin loan from my parents, whatever it takes. I want this game!

Yeah, I just need some blank CDs and coincidentally the software will fall onto my lap.

Perhaps then it'll work. If not, eh, I'll chuck the software back to wherever it came from. ;)

...I've yet to see a strong Mid East Coalition, despite it being something I've been a proponent of for a long time...

Not to mention the fact that the terrorists were from Afghanistan..which may or may not be included in my coalition (they're poor...and really, not Middle Eastern) and they just terrorized the US because they're pissed at the US...

No, no, no. My Middle East coalition is smarter than that and has larger goals than that. My Middle Eastern coalition makes sure to include India and Pakistan...then sets China and the US at war...
...

LOL i have been in the mood for a Middleeastern themed game if you get it and decide to do this i will be Iraq!

Hmm, that'd be neat if we did get a large group from Nation States together...

I'd play either Iran or Saudi Arabia. The Nations that would be important to have other people playing as would include a handful of nations to make up the MEC (most importantly, both countries I mentioned above must be played, Iraq, Gaza/West Bank, Egypt, Pakistan). The United States, Israel, United Kingdom. The obvious major players in Europe. Russia, North Korea, China, Japan. South Korea.


Oh man...it'd be really cool...I'll see how much Wal-Mart has got it for (if they have it)...

Anyway, if we do this...

Whoa...it'd be cool if you played Iraq, and I played Iran...we'd open up an Arms market and have a full alliance and everything (despite realism) and I'd let you basically run the military for both of our states...because I find the military slightly boring/difficult.

Theocratic radicals...simply interested in kicking out foreigners...

lol cool i ussually use Portugal alot and with all the worlds super powers in tact i managed to have a great economy and 2nd best military in the world but i didnt have any Nukes if you research those and your a country that doesnt start with them the world gets pissed off at you!!

lol one time i played online and someone was Jamaica the US gave him money he ended up using that money to research nukes instead of improving his economy and the lives of his people lol funny thing was at the end jamaica used the Nukes on the US they got into some disagrement US invaded him

Ya mon.

So, if we had a big NS game, who would play what country?

I'll make a list:

The Great Sixth Reich: Germany
Socialist Fall River: Iraq
Unblogged: Iran
Corneliu: United States of America

Yeah, I just need some blank CDs and coincidentally the software will fall onto my lap.

I SO went there....and came right back it seems.

It's funny, because the way I found out about NationStates was through the SuperPower forum.

I love Superpower2. I took Mexico, made it a power in something like 50 years. Then someone started a World War (didn't see who), waited and picked up all the pieces. Like a vulture :D

I also took Afghanistan from shithole of the world to super power in about 80 years. Took over Iran, Syria and Iraq.

I don't exactly understand how Afghanistan would take over any country...China, Pakistan, India, and Iran would all oppose an arms build up large enough to take over Iran. But I suppose once you got Iran it would be that difficult. The only reason the US opposed the spread of the USSR is because it was also spreading communism. If Afganistan stretched its borders to include Iran, Iraq, and Syria..you wouldn't be spreading anything...

The Great Sixth Reich: Germany
Socialist Fall River: Iraq
Unblogged: Iran?


That's a good idea...a list...and yea, I'd probably take Iran.

GSR, do you actually have the game? I don't have it but I'm going to be checking Wal-Mart for a price. If it's over $20, I'm not going to be getting it too soon.

Otherwise, anyone who has the game or plans to get the game soon, let us know what country you'd like to play and we'll add you to the list and reserve that country for you in our game.

By the way, how many people can play the game at the same time?

awesome whoever has the game i can play most of the time just send me a telegram or contact me through MSN Matcam89@verizon.net or AIM Matcam89

That's why you make friends with the big powers first. You build up your economy, you build up your international relations, then you build up your army.

Then you wait for a world war or something and just take things here and there. By the time the others try to oppose you they are too weak and you're strong.

I have the game installed now and anyone want to add me to MSN, kevin_colombia@hotmail.com and let me ask them a question IF they have the Superpower 2 game?

Where did you get the game from Colodia? and how much did it cost?

Hey we just played a game together and didnt even kno i was Prime Minister Salazar

Anyone who knows how I can get it for significantly cheaper, my AIM is Unblogged

Hey we just played a game together and didnt even kno i was Prime Minister Salazar

Hey, we played last night! Im raslin, i was greece.

Whenever there is an NS game, could it please be announced in this forum? Danke. :)

Server for NS is up for tonight with me hosting. Named "NationStates Server".

how many nations?

Nobody's there, but the max is eight.

Just bought the game from CompUSA at $30.

Gonna install it right now.

(And once I get the hang of the game, I want in on the multiplayer with you guys!)

Get the patch for the latest update. 1.4, I think.

There are a few annoying bugs in the original.

The download for patch 1.4 (for North America) is here: http://www.golemlabs.net/?page=Download&fileid=61

Thanks, downloading the patch right now.

Alright. I went through the tutorials. I wanna jump into a multiplayer game but I fear not being able to play well alongside you guys.

Mind if you guys help meh as I play?

BTW, I play as America to get the hang of the game. How would I get Mexico to ally with me? What treaties should I propose?


And could any nation trade regions with me? Canada, for instance.

*waves arms futily*

Gained more experience in the game. Managed to take advantage of the Chinese invasion of Taiwan and annexed the whole nation.

Swiped Qater, Iraq, Syria, and Jordan. Because no one cared that I invaded them. :D

Sadly, I accidently declared war on Isreal when trying to defend them from a Syrian invasion. Causing my game to fall apart. :(

Game ended with an economic failure after pretty much every nation in the world hated my guts and almost all of Europe, Oceania, and Southeast Asia declared war on me.

Seems like it's good to be Israel...

Well... When Syria attacks Israel again, Attack Syria directly :D I do that and win everytime :D

It usually works better if you go to the War list and join the side you want to help.

Hmmm.... There may be a lesson there.

It's difficult to make alliances with countries that are still in development, because of the associated costs. Start by offering some economic partnerships and things like that.

When you play as Mexico no one wants to be your friend. But as soon as you get out of the economic slump and start moving the country forward (Mexico can become quite the power in a relatively short time) then eeeverybody wants to hang out with you.

Yeah, apparently no nation turns down economic partnerships. Any cons to that treaty? It seems like there are only good things coming out of it.

EDIT: And when I accidently allied with Syria to defeat Isreal (ouch), all my allies except the Federated States of Micronesia withdrew their alliances. :( In diplomatic theamatic maps, pretty much the entire world was blood red. :eek:

*goes and plays again, this time letting the computer handle my economy*

awesome seems like your getting the hang of it i ussually play at night or late afternoon EST Time if you have msn add me Matcam89@verizon.net or AIM Matcam89

Great. Just added you.

Haha, I militarized up Canada with about 900,000 infantry, rank 1. As well as ranks 6 and 7's in the Land, Naval, and Air category. Europe suddenly severs alliances with me. Then I try to defend Jamaica after North Korea declares war on it (:D), and I ocupate NK. Suddenly Burma attacks me. So I occupy Burma. Suddenly Thailand occupies me. So I occupy Thailand. Suddenly Russia and every southeastern countrie attacks me. ;)

Seems like countries like you A LOT if you agree to pay their debt. Even if they don't have any. Hmm. I'll certainly be using THAT!

Ahh, now let's see how I can do with Russia.

Man this game is addictive. All the possible scenarios are great.

I'm scarred for lag though. It seems like a LOT of data would be going in and out.
