RIP 6%, never forgotten.
Whaaa? I see nobody posted yet, I am waiting for a template
Around half the people have posted old bean
You can use this template:
- Amount of provinces you control. It is suggested that you name your provinces to simplify accounting.
- Population in each province you control.
- List of resources your colony has access to.
- Your total army size.
- Your total navy size.
- Amount of soldiers and ships stationed/docked in each province you control.
- If you have soldiers and/or ships outside of your territory, account for them using an edited map where you point out where and how many they are.
- Roleplay is optional but highly encouraged. Describe your colony, the structure of the government, the prominent explorers and leaders, the culture. Describe your army and navy, the landmarks of growth and expansion, the current mood of the people. These details bring your faction to life and make it more pleasant for other people to interact with. It's quite boring to deal with a colony that is just a bunch of numbers.
For an example you can look at my faction:

Spain just posted regarding an expedition to find El Dorado btw.

templates ? Edited maps ? Priscilla surely knows I'm quite a visuals - type person. WR forum told me I couldn't post links ( like image hosting site link ) for 14 days because I'm a new forum member. I've actually done quite a bit of work on my faction, and not just story and pictures . The number crunching is just going to HAVE to wait until tomorrow , Real life stuff you know, in case anyone looks at WR forum and assumes I've been doing nothing except uploading an un-informative dull story.
Sorry, but I think I'll be out of this. Seems too complicated.
I might make a faction. I dunno, the new rules and such are really turning me off, WR was never a lot of work before, and we never had to pay attention to realism before.
Mate one of the members is 11 and he understood all the rules.

The rules are mainly for moderators to abide by. All you guys have to do is crunch pop and revolt numbers. You have the internet to help you.

all factions that are inactive please tell me. They are clogging up the forum!

I find it surprising that people find this more complicated than the last games. Past world realisms built on arbitrary guesses for different factions armies and economies. How you can determine your exact population and army with a two-step calculation, and the economy needs no calculations at all. Maybe people just dont want any kind of math in their forum games?
So you start with 3 provinces and each province has 4000 population. 4000 x 3 = 12000. So your pop is 12000.
Your army is 20% of your population, so 12000 x 0.2 = 2400.
I really didnt expect this would be too complicated for people on a strategy gaming forum

We are spoiled with RTDs here. I am not into numbers though I like Maths.
I must completely agree with Priscilla on this matter. For a strategy game forum this is a bit disappointing as most of the actual players are kids who play minecraft and they don't mind the number crunching as much.

I don't play Minecraft!
EDIT: Oh sorry.

He wasn't even talking about you. He was talking about the people in the other forum.
Thank you for clarification!

I don't like everyone having the same population or military size, and I don't like the rules dictating the size of my army. I liked the arbitrary guesses, it made the game fun. IDK, this iteration just doesn't hold the appeal. It's not just that system, it's the resource system. I don't recall resources ever being real things that were put on a map, and I don't recall there ever being a possibility of famine because you wanted to rule a weird place.
Let me put it this way. I took Alaska. Now, with three provinces of Alaska, I probably wouldn't have had more than 1,000 people in the old system. With that population, I could safely and unrealistically build my nation into an empire with the proper skill of governance and enough favor from the dice gods, and my bizarre Papal colony in Alaska could become a superpower from nothing because it's balanced for its region (as by the old system the neighboring regions would be similarly sized). By this system, I get more people, but because of rules on where you can locate your faction in order to grow I cannot ever really expand because my people will all die (being far too populous for the region).
If we wanted to make this an Alliance game, where rules and calculations forced players into warfare, this would be a great ruleset, but for the freedom of play style that always used to characterize WR, it's not good at all. If anything, this will add to the already-much-too-high likelihood of the massive World War gangbangs previous WRs have died with.
