Oh boy, another map.

[Axel The Englishman]

Whaaaaaaaaaat?

 

[Pat]

Whaaaaaaaaaat?

Too many blue factions. Make mine more purple.

 

[CabalAnomicPotato]

Axel The Englishman , since it's industrialized, would factories and railroads be ok to add? Also what kind of rifle do your soldiers have (again, to get a visual of the weapons tech). Also, my faction gonna have magic, that alright?

 

[Axel The Englishman]

A pocket of factories and railways would exist - most will be owned by the realm's governing body.

Also, a rifle with visuals such as this.


Also, I don't mind if you have magic.

Cool, thanks!

 

[Axel The Englishman]

Here's a visual, of a Campri Infantryman.

 

[Axel The Englishman]

And a Campri Knight.

My cs us up

 

[Pat]

How can your two realms be economically prosperous with approximately 25% of your populations in the military?

 

[Axel The Englishman]

Simple. Cause war, and do an America.

It's still a ridiculous amount of enlisted men, doubly so for a medieval dieselpunk setting. Professional soldiers were a rarity and feudalism was the way most armies of the time were raised.

 

[Axel The Englishman]

Good thing we follow zero logic.

 

[Pat]

Good thing we follow zero logic.

Shouldn't we? Because at this rate every nation is going to be great at everything and the RP will become a toxic OP bloodbath.

 

[Axel The Englishman]

Don't worry. There are limits. I'm justifying large military sizes due to events within the law. If there's something that appears OP, I'll make sure to be on the lookout.

Oh shit your right. Welp, time to lower the numbers, yet again I have fallen into the realm of Mary sues. I don't do many nation rps, so I'm not expirences with what's logic, and what's op.

 

[CabalAnomicPotato]

So, hey, are war vehicles acceptable?

 

[Axel The Englishman]

The introduction of motorised vehicles designed for combat would be substantially low. Horses still remain the dominant mode of transportation.

 

[Pat]

I'm just going to have a volunteer only military for most of the RP, so 0-2% of my population will be in it, slightly raising and lowering in that range in reaction to situations outside and inside our borders. More than that obviously if we are in a defensive war.

I think my faction is going to have a modern and well-trained WW1 era (though it will begin small) Air Force, a moderately sized and equipped navy, and a laughably outnumbered army which primarily is comprised of well-armed and crack mountaineers.

 

[Axel The Englishman]

Volunteers, eh? Why have volunteers when you can have sla - I mean.. factory workers in debts?

Well, I'll ad what I want to add on my cs, and you can decide if it's too modern.

So what would be the real world year that would be the most similar to this world's level of technological advancement?

 

[Pat]

We're supposed to use WW1 era technology, with a few exceptions.

 

[CabalAnomicPotato]

We're supposed to use WW1 era technology, with a few exceptions.

I know, but we are also using steam punk and various exceptional weapons (our bows, for example, which have high powered explosives on their arrow tips).

 

[Kazami42]

Here is a important question:
Since the setting is basically WWI-esque with steampunk added onto it, are giant killer robots with giant rifles with giant bayonets a thing at some point?
