Go to Earth BC events thread (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7579776#post7579776)

So far as I know this is an origional Idea. I am creating an "Earth" that will be based in Ancient Roman Times. The Unit types are to be based upon troop types of that era, and depending on where your claims are on tha map determins what Kind of troops you can have (so be realistic. If you are based in England, you wont have Elephants lol) There are however some simple rules and Guidelines that are to be followed:

-Check the list of claims before you post by hitting Ctrl F, then typing in the countries name.
-All claims must be accepted by me.
-Any Claims outside of your origional claim must be done using RP. If I see "I claim Italy and moved my troops in" then It will be ignored. Also you must provide a link to the thread showing that this has happened.
-It's up to you to come here and check that you claims have been accepted and verified. I am only Human and Might miss one or two, so If I miss them just remind me and give me the link and I will check them
-Please keep claims resonable. Keep in mind that in Roman times, Armies did not conquer massive ammounts of land at a time. It was usually Cities and their surrounding areas, etc. So most of the time if you attack a country or region, you wont take it all over at once. You will claim for example, the south east section.
-All Earth BC RPs MUST HAVE (Earth BC) in their title, so that people can pick them out of the massive ammounts of Threads being created.
-Check out the threads tied to this one (ie, the map thread, the events thread, etc) to keep tabs on whats going on in the World.
-One Nation only. You cannot make claims with a puppet or seperate account
-You cannot ignore an attack or action unless there is a very good reason. If you do ignore an attack and do not have good reason the attack WILL STILL BE RECOGNISED by me (at my discretion).
-You must claim what your popultion is (see equation below)

Because civilization Populations were drastically smaller in Roman times then they are in the NS earth, the following equation will be use to figure out your population. You will take your Nations current population and divide it by 100. So it looks like this:

nation X has a population of 1,000,000,000. They divide by 100 and get 10,000,000. <---- That is there Population in Earth BC.

Ready.... Set..... Claim!!!
(the Italian Peninsula is already claimed by moi)

Sorry topic poster, but we have special rules on OUR Earth that causes me to do this before people start askin questions on our Earth II thread.

Earth III users ARE ALLOWED to participate in this Roman Earth with my WHOLE BLESSING!

I refuse to limit the nations to just my Earth III, as that would destroy RP opporunities. I believe whole-heartedly in multi-Earth RP'ing.

I have a question for you Blacktower. Are USA states counted as countries or the whole USA itself as a country?

I'd like to claim the Rocky Mountains area (as I'd like to build an Roman style of Inca civilization).

EDIT: I apologize for the confusion, Blacktower. However, I'd like to create a Native American civilization... imagine if the Incas became as advanced or sophiscated as the Roman Empire. That's what I'd love to RP.

I have a suggestion.

You should post who owns / claims what in this Earth, to make it very easy to know who owns what. That would avoid double claims because most people don't want to read through pages and pages of posts to make sure the country or nation they claim isn't taken.

WOW are you sure you want to do that!? That is a huge country and the people per square mile would be like less then 1. Your nation would be overrun very quickly by invaders. A nation of 1 mil could probably lay claim to have of Russia if they were careful. Splitting it up may be a good idea.

Yes the french failed and of course germany failed. Both due to too long supply lines, unprepared for the cold and the sheer numbers of the Russians.

Ehhh....I kinda doubt that because of the weather was warm and sunny Russian mobility would be enhanced, and sheer numbers would overwhelm the Germans. Also in a more friendly enviroment economic growth is easier and defending a nation is so much easier. Radar and other communications even now can be interferred with by weather and surely an ever increasing supply line would wreck many invasion attempts if it got cut off.

Surely weather will play a critical element in Earth BC because there is few ways to deal with it.
Blacktower
29-11-2004, 11:48
the weather as always plays a critical element in Earth BC. The Barbarian tribes to the north (such as the Gaul in RL) were much more adept at fighting in the Cold, forrested, Mountanous terrain of Central Europe, as opposed to the Egyptians, who excelled at Desert Warfare.

Maybe we should consider upping the population for the nations, divided by 100 is sure easy but it still falls well below what the Roman Empire is believed to have had at its peak, which was of around 50 million people. Since our terriority is larger then what the Romans controlled maybe it would be a good idea to have it divided by 50 instead of 100 (or as I would like divided by 10), or have a population limit for nations based on country size and would help start some expansion ideas or something of that effect.

Maybe we should consider upping the population for the nations, divided by 100 is sure easy but it still falls well below what the Roman Empire is believed to have had at its peak, which was of around 50 million people. Since our terriority is larger then what the Romans controlled maybe it would be a good idea to have it divided by 50 instead of 100 (or as I would like divided by 10), or have a population limit for nations based on country size and would help start some expansion ideas or something of that effect.

I know the system isnt perfect, but I beleive it is a good ratio. and the Roman empire controled alot more then the area you hold right now.

ROMAN EMPIRE AT ITS HEIGHT
http://usera.imagecave.com/Daishi/Daishi2/map14.bmp.jpg

as you can see they dominated the Mediteranian and had a very large population. That would be the equivelant of a NS population of 5 billion people. I dont expect anyone to get that much territory for quite some time, so everything works out fine. besides its alot easier to simply take the last two zeros of someones NS population then to divide it by 50 :S

BlackTower you should extend the range farther into Asia.
Also when you say BC- about what year are you projecting, just so I can fully understand tech level.
And if it is truly BC, then there are no Muslim or Christians yet correct.
You would be dealing with the Greek, ROman polytheistic faiths and the Judaic Faith-then the indeginous beliefs of who ever else, right?

also , I would just like to mention to the RPers that In order to make this Earth as Real as possible, I would like you to take into account things such as landscape, weather, etc when deciding where you plan to attack. For example The Empire of Blacktower is currently SECRETLEY discussing how to occupy parts of sweden, but we are separated from the mainland by the Alps. in Roman times the Alps would prove VERY difficult to cross, so occupation will take quite a while.

From the post I made in: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7597000&posted=1#post7597000

Over half of Switzerland has been invaded by a small army of militia and merchants with many farmers and settlers. Around 200,000 people in total begin to spread across Switzerland, finding the terrain much like that of Tanthan the ability to adapt is not needed and the spread at which the people moved in was great.

The team sent to Slovenkia has just returned, the trip was longer then expected due to the distance and the terrain was rougher then expected. However since because of the time and distance of it a military force will take another year to be called up to invade it and control everything to the sea.

Tanthan is experiencing an economoical boom while the government is being divided to fit the new areas and work independantly to deal with issues between the soon to be added lands.


---------------------------
The start of controlling it has begun, but it is more farmers then anything wishing to grow more food and farming communities are very weak, only a sizeable force is in the front of the expansion, it is being fed by meat and food from the natural surroundings, also much of it is coming directly from the 5 tribes in Tanthan sending food out until the farms being to produce next year.

Because civilization Populations were drastically smaller in Roman times then they are in the NS earth, the following equation will be use to figure out your population. You will take your Nations current population and divide it by 100. So it looks like this:

nation X has a population of 1,000,000,000. They divide by 100 and get 10,000,000. <---- That is there Population in Earth BC.

No, it's a historically researched 'what if' that basically traces early human existance. Mostly hunter/gatherer societies.

As to that map...Behind Jarridia there is either a large lake or a small inland sea. One of the white areas outlined includes a small, sheltered bay where the land hooks around it to nearly close it. I want that area. I have NO idea what country it is NOW...but it has access to fishing and likely lots of natural resources.

anyways, for reference, I have a currennt population of about 2,600,000 (in Earth BC) and I can field an army of 50,000 assorted men. But thats my ENTIRE ARMED FORCES!!! My armed forces is broken into Legions of 5000 men. usually when I deploy and army its one or two Legions. Keep in mind that we are trying to keep this RP as realistic as possible, and for an army of 50,000 men to ever be deployed was almost Never heard of.

just a note to everyone who is going on conquests, ive enoticed that some of us smaller nations have been posting ridiculous sized armies lol. If you have a population of 1,500,000 and you are feilding a "small expiditionary force" of over 60,000 men.... well not naming any one in particular lol (you know who you are haha)

anyways, for reference, I have a currennt population of about 2,600,000 (in Earth BC) and I can field an army of 50,000 assorted men. But thats my ENTIRE ARMED FORCES!!! My armed forces is broken into Legions of 5000 men. usually when I deploy and army its one or two Legions. Keep in mind that we are trying to keep this RP as realistic as possible, and for an army of 50,000 men to ever be deployed was almost Never heard of.

(for you nations with much much larger populations, ignore this :p)I do not understand how the military is calculated for this.

Could I add Morrocco to my claims or is that illegal?

sorry youve already made your claims.

and as for the military calculation, it depends on how you RP.

for example, Blacktower currently has a mere 2% of its population in Combat Service. With our current population of 2,600,000 in earth BC, that means that 52,000 people are Combat ready. the formula for this is:

2,600,000 x 0.02 = 52,000

the only difference would be your Population, and your Military Ratio. Seeing as how you are in Macedonia (basically you are greek) historically you did not field Huge armies, such as the barbarians or the Arabians. You feilded better equipt and trained Armies in smaller number, hence why I am at 2%. I think that 2-4% is a good number for someone in your location, but again, its up to you, and you dont have to RP as greeks either, you can be whoever you want.

Also on a side note, Blacktower is currently not in a large scale war, so were are only at 2%. If we were to get into a large war, we would bump that up to 4-5%. But these units would be "green" and would not fight as well as the Hardened veteren legions.

new rule put into place:

-You cannot ignore an attack or action unless there is a very good reason. If you do ignore an attack and do not have good reason the attack WILL STILL BE RECOGNISED by me (at my discretion).

this is to make the game more realistic in the terms that if a very large nation decides to attack a small nation, the small nation cant just say "I ignore this attack because your way to damn big". If anyone opposes this new rule say something about it here and I shall review it.

btw, I like your Factbook on your BC nation. I may copy the format to an extent if you dont have a problem with it. very informative. I take it that the majority of the facts are taken form RL?
Bedou
12-12-2004, 01:07
Yeah I have big facination with nomadic peoples(mostly mongols) the Bedouins really interest me so I already had links to a bunch of sites with information on them.
They are a fairly interesting people-I had to make very little up--and embelish nothing.
The tribal name Ashtani(is actually African) the rest a RL though one of them is sub tribe to another.
The breeding of horses I can not confirm who bred what so I just chose-though it was common for a tribe to specialize.
It is pretty much a fair representation--I brought the size of the military power down from what it would be to a more fair number(10% as opposed to 30%).
The arms are all accurate(except fo the Ashtani-I happen to be trained in stick fighting so I have a particular respect for it).
Like I said though I had a little over half a dozen links on the Bedouins and Arabians (the horse)--
ANyway--My fact format(I call it cluster feck) so go right ahead and borrow it, if you can even percieve a method to it--I cant.

Excuse me, but i was just dropping by to check out this thread and rping... its horrible. there was no Sultan in the BC ages. It really depends what time period during the BCs you are talking about in order for me to inform you on the Type of Leadership one nation (or tribe for that matter) had. Also, i think this is horrible altogether, withought a thought to the Historical content being used here. Stop using modern boundries and countries, start using Tribes, city-states, leuges and empires. Such as : The Pelopnesian leuge and The Helvitii tribe (Both existed).
