There are very few non fantasy ancient techs out there I know there are PMTs but they aren't quite the time period I'm talking about. Now this is a sign-up thread for a war covering this particular time period. So, put yourself in this situation, the world is in a war that covers the continents, alliances will be forged from nothing and broken in a flash, strong rivalries have a chance to flare without drawing international attention, and new technological breakthroughs seem to herald the next chapter in this never-ending book of war. Soon countries from different continents declare on each other and it seems like war is the only thing we all have in common anymore. How will your country play a role in this violent tale? Will it herald in more and more defensive techs and continue the war, or will it try in vein to be everyone's ally. It's your choice, welcome to the Black Water War.

OOC: This is alternate history but the tech is realistic.

Sign-up Sheet

Nation Name:

Ruler Name:

Continent: (Same as RL except Australia is the Predominal Region and is 2x as big as real AU, don't forget in the first few chapters you can only fight countries on the same continent with exceptions regarding the Green Lights.)

Size(Small, Medium, Large, Russia-like): (The bigger you are the worse your economy is which can hurt you in the long run, also the larger you are the more wars you are going to be in)

Starting side: (Black Ravens, Eagles of Unification, The Green Lights, or start alone)

OOC: If you are a Green Lights nation you must be in Asia, as the Green Lights are based on Asian Dominance, if you are a Black Ravens nation you must be in either Africa or Europe. As the Eagles of Unification currently have On the Run status Russia-like nations are not allowed.


I am going to post up three nations real quick to get it started


Nation Name: Nerka

Ruler Name: Deoraz Livivishki

Continent: Europe

Size: Medium

Starting Side: Eagles of Unification

_____________________________________


Nation Name: Adjoin

Ruler Name: Geta Feak

Continent: Europe

Size: Medium

Starting Side: Black Ravens

________________________________________


Nation Name: Ketakia

Ruler Name: Palios Vega

Continent: Asia

Size: Large

Starting Side: The Green Lights





Here's some details on all three sides.




Black Ravens: An authoritative offensive group, this tightly packed brotherhood is well just that a brotherhood. If a nation is in trouble another Black Ravens nation is bound to help you. All leaders take orders from the Grand Master, Veta. Although leaders are allowed to run their nation how they want to, targets and trade actions must be run through Veta first. The Black Ravens have been able to gain the upper hand after a few years of war.

Benefits:Close protection, side starts with upper hand.

Disadvantages: Declarations are slower, harder to leave side unscathed, war-torn(Soldier's morale starts lower)

Difficulty: Good for those newer to NS rp



Eagles of Unification: As a Globalized defensive organization, the EoU has been trying to stop the black ravens from taking over the world for the whole 9 years the war has been going on, however it has fallen back as the Black Ravens have developed new siege technology. However if the mysterious substance called Greek Fire actually works, they may gain the upper hand soon.

Benefits: Freedom of Expression(Scientific breakthroughs happen quicker, easier to leave side), Globalized(You can be from any continent)

Disadvantages: On the run(Large nations have the economy of a russia-like nation, also, russia-like nations are not allowed), war-torn(soldier's morale starts lower)

Difficulty: Good for someone who's been in NS for a year or so.




Green Lights: This offensive side is made up of one race only, Asian. The green lights seek to rule a world of Asians, and only Asians. They have just recently appeared on the world scene and thus have fresh troops who are driven by a fundamentalist and fanatic government. They have very many persuasive political powers, and are heralding technological breakthroughs at every turn. This war-machine may look invincible, however it's want to eliminate every race has put it at war with every nation in the known universe.

Advantages: Fanaticism(Citizens don't become unhappy)

Disadvantages:Racial Unison(All nations start at war with all Green Lights nations)

Difficulty: Good for NS pros who know to create creative answers to problems.

please enjoy my little world

Bump pushed to bottom of page (which almost no one reads)

This is something really missing in NS. Whenever there is a huge plot hole of sheer absurdity, you can be sure A Wizard Did It (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AWizardDidIt). With realism, there are no excuses for that sort of thing, and it also negates the possibility of magicwank, which makes impossible for "Competitive RP" and "Fantasy" to ever bring good results. I really support your attempt, but unfortunately my interest in Past Tech is focused in the Victorian Age in the Turn of The Century 1890-1910, World War One and World War Two tech.

I wish you good luck anyway. It's good to see a fresh air of originality. And if nobody joins, simply keep on with the story, eventually someone will show interest. I know it's difficult to write by yourself a conflict without favoring one or another side, but that way you can draw attention to this RP, and good roleplayers.

I would like to be the head state of the Green Lights, which I will sculpt to be something like China, with densly populated areas with flawless infrastructure and advanced technologies to third world farmlands where civilians die in squallor.


Nation Name: Chuanzhang Ren Diguo (The Empire of the Master People)

Ruler Name: Emperpr Zhong Shenyangde (Zhong the Divine)

Continent: Asia

Size(Small, Medium, Large, Russia-like):Large, almost Russia-like

Starting side:Green Lights

Thank you Connodor, a messenger will brief you on the latest technological developments.

OOC: I'm gonna pm ya.

Edit: Check your user CP

Can the Eagles be on the Americas?

later but not now Americas haven't been discovered.

wouldn't the native americans have discovered it?

Yes but you can't play on it since no other major country is there. Americas will be discovered in the eighth chapter, I'm going to start the main thread when I get 3 more nations.

do you have an indian nation yet? no one can claim a war elephant is not impressive.

Achievement Unlocked: Hit And Trample.

*Uggh* This is Alternate history, so there won't be "Indian" nations. If you're interested sign-up please we can always fix it if you make a mistake, k?

Achievement Unlocked: Ultrabump.

stop it with the achievements I still haven't forgiven you for quitting out on me during my civil war.

While i do find the idea of a non-fantasy ancient RP interesting, i don't like what i see with these alliances, I would personally say, let people form nations and alliances freely, as long as its within reason(as with any RP). I personally feel the alliances restrict a players freedom to act to much.

otherwise i would join as a Roman-like nation in the region of Italy or Spain

you can start your own alliance you just have to start alone which is an option, if you would like to join please use the template on the first page.
