NationStates Jolt Archive

ooc: Another hairbrained scheme brought to you by me and Doom! (Doomingsland wanted me to say that.)

This new idea, thought up of by me and Doomingsland is a Nationstates strategy game based off of the Steel Panthers engine. The Steel Panthers engine powers games such as Steel Panthers: World at War and Steel Panthers: MBT. The gameplay in those games is conducted on the platoon basis, with individual men and tanks being represented. The games are highly detailed, with the effect of every bullet, shell and other projectile calculated to an insane degree of accuracy, while the terrain can crater and deform etc. Mines and barbed wire can also be placed and artillery strikes can be called down. There are probably hundreds of more tiny details I can list, but those are a few of them.

But the biggest advantage of the Steel Panthers engine is that up to 100 factions can be had and each faction holds 999 units. Which means that all the extensive unit lists of Nationstates nations can be represented with plenty of space left over for fun fluff units, such as civilians, hordes of shoobans ready to be shot, battlefield servants, aliens, and other odd units can appear, each with its own and unique weapons and sprite set. So it will be insanely difficult to underrepresent any nation's units, with the exception of Roach Busters.

So if you want to participate, just contact me or doom on AIM or MSN.

The ways you can help are:
*Filling in stats on the ORBAT editor
*Making scenarios
*Making graphics
*Playtesting
*Some programming (maybe, if we need to adjust the engine)
*Planning units and ORBATs.

The version of SP we are using is here: http://linetap.com/www/drg/SPCamo-4.htm

Download it. It's absolutely free! And remember, have fun!

I really wish I could help you on this, but Im afraid I dont have the skills, I wish you good luck on this project!

ooc: Thanks for your support.

I'd love to recreate the units of the Corporation into an actual computer game, however i have no Programming skills whatsoever, but i wish you luck with this, and will offer my support however little it may be, I will also be watching this closely for Updates

EDIT: Beta, Game tester, I can help!

Alas, I have no programming skills, thus I cannot participate in the actual creation of the game. However, I wish both of you best of luck with development, and I eagerly look forward to your work (if you guys want beta testers sometime down the road, sign me up).

EDIT: If you guys need more nations to fill up the 100 factions/nations after doing the major players, feel free to include me. If you need information on my nation, my factbook (http://www.freewebs.com/halberdgardia/index.htm) and reference thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=437943) would probably help a significant amount. Of course, if you don't feel like including me, that's fine too.

wow i was thinking about this a while ago just with a diiferent game to use as the base. Wierd.

Some stuff MP forgot to mention:

Editing in this game takes practically no skill, the thing comes packaged with an editor that lets you edit the Order of Battle for the stuff, the actual units, lets you change pics for different vehicles. Trust me, I just started messing with the thing an hour ago (and I have no programming experience at all) and I've already got my indigenous MBT in game.

Nice, im downloading it now, and ill give it a go

So, I guess all us Mac users are out of luc, eh? No SP verion for Mac OS X..... :(

I might be able to help with maps and scenarios if it comes packaged with a Map Maker/Scenario Maker.

Well, I must say this interests me greatly

Although I'm more a charcter RP'er, although I try to and do mass movements of troops, just never with much luck.....

That and my country consists entirely of Mercenaries.

OOC:ME! ME! Put in me!

ooc: Just did, can you give me an idea of what your military is like?

EDIT: If you guys need more nations to fill up the 100 factions/nations after doing the major players, feel free to include me. If you need information on my nation, my factbook (http://www.freewebs.com/halberdgardia/index.htm) and reference thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=437943) would probably help a significant amount. Of course, if you don't feel like including me, that's fine too.

May I be added to the list as well? Information on my military can be found by following the links above; I mostly use other people's vehicles/vessels, but generally speaking my military is well-funded and reasonably well-trained and -equipped. It's analogous to that of the U.S. military.

Hmmm...

Can FT nations join?

From what I hear the actual editor must be purchased so me creating my own units seem to be an impossiblity. I can post a list of units for you to create and work on creating parts of Leafanistan.

ooc: the map editor, not the unit editor.

And I don't think there will be FT. Very, very, very, very, very insanely slim chance there might just be limited FT.

Alrighty then.

I'd be interested in being represented in one of the factions. Factbook (under construction) and unit details (see MierTech) are in my sig.

ooc: Phoenexius and the Phoenix Milita are added.

MP, just curious, but was I added? You never answered my above post.

I'm curious - does this game involve just ground troops, or does it include aerial and naval forces too?

Do they make this thing for Macs?

I can probably help out with graphics...

(Hehehe... SPMBT with Ogres.)

ooc; No Macs, Halbergardia, you're in, the problem Phoenexius is that naval combat is limited. And no, I can't place an SD in there, it's just too big and units can only take up one hex. And thank you NE, we'll contact you when you're needed.

Thanks for that - by the way I don't have an SD, so thats not a problem.

I would LOVE to do this, but i have a MAC.

I'd like to be represented, if at all possible. You'll be needing a dump of military technology and doctrine and such, correct?

[Edit: Spliced the requisite threads into this message as opposed to creating a new one. No need to pointlessly clutter the topic now, is there?

I would like for Drizzts Army (my former nation which was huge...) to be represented please? If you need a feel of what my army is like, just contact me on YIM or MSN

Hey MP, put me in too. The link to my fact book = http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=419767

when you finish this can you post a link so we can download the finished version?

This is cool. I'll play the game now and then give info later. Thanks for adding me in :)

I would like to join

Is this a mod or an actual game? If it is an actual game that would be cool. Attach a mission editor so we can make our own campagins.

But, wouldn't this be against copyright laws, as people are making NS2?

MassPwnage: I talked to you a couple days on MSN. Offering my help with some graphic tweaking and the long ass night research stuff. Just making it known that I'm still interested.

OOC: Totally Sweet....you can use my armies. Only, it might be a challenge to render the RALM. Still, I encourage you to do so. I'd be happy to do some playtesting, and see if the UX and RALM armies match what I was looking for.

Greetings,
I'd be highly honoured if you used my armies in your game. My military details can be found from a link from my NSWiki page.

Damn, I'm not important enough to be listed?

This sounds like fun; unfortunately, I can't test it since my home compy is a Mac. Actually ALL the computers at home are Macs. The only PC I "have" is the desktop at work.

Argh, this thing is giving me a head ache, i dont even know where to start, it doesnt help being as tired as this either...

The list has been revised [2:03AMCST]

Wait...why did you get rid of Upper Xen?

He's just being typical Doujin and putting the people he likes at the top and the people he dislikes at the bottom.

OOC: Off-topic but did you get the telegram I sent you? I think you'll be able to get onto your main account for posting
Anyway, it's really up to the maker of the thread to revise the list

I loves you Big D!

Mind giving me some mroe info what this thing is I am about to download? Is it an editor, is it the original game file, or is it some virus (j/k)? Just wanna know. Go ahead and put me as Jewittists or Truitt, could care less (figured Jewittists would fit since my army is called something along those lines). I am mostly a country based on total naval and air supremacy, but what little ground I have is the highest technology found. If there is a camo engine put in tundran, too (since that is my nation). I have a little programming experiance and wouldn't mind jumping in and helping.

This is cool. I'll play the game now and then give info later. Thanks for adding me in :)
Well we have to add you in. We'll probably include those times I kicked your ass as historical battles :)

Now, people, this list isn't necessary final. In fact, I doubt we'll get more than 15 nations in before MP has to go off to China and then to college. We'll be doing this on a release basis. The first public alpha of the game will have roughly four partialy completed factions.

Also, don't ask for release dates, as we currently have no idea.

ooc: Just did, can you give me an idea of what your military is like?

OOC:Ill telegram you.

If I had the time or skills I would help.

What do you need to do in order to be in the NS Comptuer Game? Be important, or just request?

If not important, I can just request. I hope there is a mission editor that be released, I would love to make campagins based on my nation. ;)

There's a free scenario editor with the game, and a mission editor if you buy the extended edition I believe. Trust me, I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing my military in action :D

Put me in, please include me,
If you do, i mostly use Kriegzimmer with a few indigenous designs mixed in, i can give you more info if you Tg me a request

I would love to get involved and could help by drawing some of the units.

If you are interested in putting me in the game, please send me a TG with all the information you may need so I can send it back to you.

You are DEFINATELY welcome to the team, Ato :) Check your TGs in a few minutes.

Sorry to upset you, but that's incorrect. And I didn't realize that I got rid of someone. And I don't dislike Praetonia or anyone near the bottom of the list (with the exception of you). I'm very fond of Soviet Bloc (Even own quite a bit in his Datz' Pridy or w/e). And I generally like the others, too. I just wanted to keep Gholgoth together, and that was done easiest by moving peopel to the bottom since AMF was at the top.

OOC: Somebody's missing from Gholgoth, then... I only count 11 of us.

I won't be able to make any maps until we get the final list sorted out, and the individual nations send me their flags. E-Mail if you would, as my TG box is kinda full with RP related nonsence that I need.

Maps must include:
Basic topographical information
List of relevent cities
Military Bases
Air Bases
Troop Concentrations during relevent RP
Links to RP threads if possible so I can plot basic movements and whatnot.

And for how my infantry look, think the Helljumpers(ODSTs) from halo 2, almost exactly like them.

BTW: Our Forums for the project are located at:

http://s14.invisionfree.com/NationstatesRTS/index.php?act=idx

I don't have very many skills, but I too have no life, and spend half of that on the computer anyway. If you still need it, I could playtest it, or type anything you need. I'm always looking for time to practice typing to increase speed.

Tell me more about this...

Seeing as I've been already included in the listing of nations I thought it might be a sign of gratefulness and good faith to try and commit my services wherever needed in the project. I'm not much of a programmer or graphic artist, but I could probably contribute to the not too insignificant amount of statistics either as an interpreter of textual evidence to hard numbers or a general data compiler which will more than likely need several people to develop the equipment lists of so many nations. I might not be able to contribute a lot of time with my push towards a dual major in University, but I would promise to lend a comparative eye and be a team member in the process of cataloguing, assessing, integrating, and game testing the piles of different weapons calibers and types that will compose the eventual list of 100 nations and the 249 weapons classes, 999 Vehicles, and 999 formations included in the game's more than extensive file layout.

If you want to contact me, my AIM screen name is Schultaria; however, you can select either the MSN Messenger or AIM icons underneath my nation name in this forum post if you want to contact me.

I'd like to be in on this, although I'm not quite sure what I can help with.

Add me

A wonderful idea, I wouldn't mind you adding me (should be easy since I use SW tech), as far as programming goes...I suck, so I can't help in that department, but I am a writer in real life, so if you give me some material I can come up with some story lines...or something. Skies the limit.

If you do add me, I use SW Galactic Empire stuff.

Why are you keeping Gholgoth together? If so, why not put all of Haven together...and all of Imperial Armies together...sorry, but I think Hoggie may well be onto something. And if you want to keep the Gholgoth people close together, why not shove them at the bottom of the list, like myself, being displaced from the 13 determined by Doom/MP - the creators of the game - and not a third party wanting his army to be done first.
