NationStates Jolt Archive

I was thinking while doing my issues today, why is it that Nationstates has absolutly nothing to do with military? i mean sure it DOES in a different sense, but what about us people being able to move our units? build our units? deploy our units? attack someone elses units with our units?

It would more than likely boost the amount of people playing by about 2/3, and personally i think it would be awesome. And not meaning to advertise another online game on this forum but to everyone whos thinking this, Nukezone is absolutly retarded and most of the people on that site couldn't tell the difference between thier hand and a lawnmower, and its so stupid because it has absolutly NOTHING to do with gouvernments!

I don't know why nationstates hasn't accomplished this idea yet, maybe because its too expensive to get the servers for it, or not enough people would go for it, or you just don't have the time, but even if its too expensive, have members accounts where people pay for it because personally, if nationstates were to add these attributes, i would pay for it in a heartbeat!!

Er.. AFAIK.. NS is a political sim about nation building for fun. Not a simulation of military conquest, which you can do through roleplay posts if you really want, unrestricted to any units, tactics, rules of war, battlefield scale, or even era.

Example...
The Dwarvish Underkingdom of G'zuahg declares war on the Intergalactic Imperium of Sinister Tyranny! Reason: Drunk! Yuo know howe iit iss, good meadd thiss. Arrr.

IIST: Fools, we will destroy you with our, er, space lasers and, hmm, really really big complicated spaceships and bombs and stuff! *evil laugh*

DUG: Ach! We live underground, ha! Besides, our planet is, uhm, in another dimension where magic works, so KAZOWIE! We would do, you know, spells and whatnot.

IIST: Hrrm. Hulking mech-suit troopers with antimatter cannon versus bearded loons riding ancient white dragons that can bend time. Pfft. Call it a draw then?

DUG: Fine by us. Now get that big dirty spaceship off our lawn. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

IIST: Ok. Tata then! Sell us some of that mead?

DUG: Arrrr!


The above is entirely meant as a little funny and not at all judgemental about dwarves beverage habits or sinister space lords being, uhm, evil, in a good way im sure. Yeah.
