Title says all. What's considered godmodding military-wise (besides the obvious "my military has 6,000,000,000 men" when the population of your country is only 1,000,000,000)? But what isn't so obvious?

Just asking for future reference so that I can defend myself if someone says that I'm godmodding in an RP war.

Using riddiculously large amounts of your population (five percent is often considered the absolute tops without completely gutting your economy), refusing to take appropriate damage when you should, (Fifty B-52s drop Napalm on your troops. "One man died horribly") autohitting or telling your enemy what damage they took (Fifty B-52s drop Napalm on your troops, killing all of them). There's probably more, but that's what springs to mind.

Using weapons from a more advanced time period. For example, highly advanced lasers [in great numbers] or starships in a Modern Tech war.

Tech-wank counters to weapons, EX:
Player one fires giant lasers of doom at enemy (assuming giant lasers of doom arent godmodded)
Player two GIANT BLACK HOLES FORM FROM MY SINGULARITY GENERATORS AND ABSORB THE LASErS!

This (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=367578) is fairly comprehensive on the topic of godmodding.

Another thing is having units magically appear somewhere; alot of people have issues with you. One minute it's a fairly matched battle between 30,000 infantry on each side. The next, someone claims to have a massive force of tanks nearby. This is one of the most frustrating things.

Really, godmoding isn't a big issue in II.


Poor RPing, however...

Thanks! I can no have wars but still know what's reasonable. And thanks for the link.
