Question/Request

02-11-2003, 23:13
Not sure if this is exactly where I need to post this but here goes. Is it possible to "merge" two nations i.e. move the population from one over to another? I want to move all the people in "Striken Peoples" over to this country (yes I do own both of them ;-) )

Cheers

Not possible to my knowledge.

That's pretty much what I thought, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

No, I'm afraid not.

Even if it was possible I don't think it would last too long since it would give Admin and the other code monkies lots of extra work (as if they don't have enough already) :)

And you'd also have people merging hundreds of countries to have OMG!!!11 HUUGE POPULASHUNZ!!!1

Anything is possible in an environment where reality changes with a few keystrokes. The better question is, "Can I convince the Admin to code this?", after, of course: "How does this, like the population bug, affect game balance?"

*has horrible visions of people creating 30000 nations all at once and merging them*

Better yet: Imagine what happens if Morgy gains total control of Arda. ::shudders::

Is it possible? Yes, population edits are but a GMs few mouse clicks and keystrokes away. Will we do it? Emphatically, no.

Not even if we ask reeeeally nicely?

*sigh* Didn't think so.
Never mind.

Sure. Your population is now 5 million.

And now the mad rush to see if I'm kidding...

I deny that! First I laughed... then I went to see if it was true.

I'm not sure it matters, really. When I joined NS a billion population was an amazing total. Now I'm there myself I have to wonder why it seemed so amazing.

Ah well, at least I don't have to start again.
