The IH Proposal Thread

[Dave Strider]

I played something similar to that on the AH.com forums.

[Double A]

So? All of them were border states, all of them allowed slavery, all would be important.

Thought you were just saying that because I said Maryland should be PC.

[MuttonChops]

I would like to play a colonial expansion game starting in 1600 but using factions that we create.

If I can play an elephant-man faction. Count me in.

[Dave Strider]

I want a power ranger faction, but only for the absolutely epic theme songs.

[Dave Strider]

Hmm...Perhaps a Guerilla Warfare IH? Maine has many high ridges, forests, low stone walls, bridges, and sunken roads. I think that Maine's terrain would be perfect for a Guerilla Warfare IH.

[Agamemnon]

Guerilla warfare is boring. Unless it's medieval, I'd say no, since what would the game be? "Joe ducks beneath the bridge, then stands and fires a clip. He misses because all smg's suck wub . Then, his enemy sees him and opens fire. Joe ducks, but is hit in the shoulder."
The only thing that would make that interesting would be if the opponent was a hot chick wearing very little clothing. Now, if it was like a manage-your-criminal-empire IH from the '20s, then it would be fun.

*facepalm*

Did I ever say it was a RP?

It's also Maine. So no.

[Dave Strider]

Well, do you have any other ideas?

[Agamemnon]

1600s expansion and stuff. I had an idea for a 1600s RPG, but nobody likes the idea.

[Dave Strider]

...I was talking about a state with the terrain for my IH. Kaitsar doesn't like Maine, so I was asking which state he would prefer for Guerilla warfare.

[Agamemnon]

Oh. I wouldn't make it a state, I'd say someplace besides America or if it was 1920s ganster stuff New York or Chicago, maybe Detroit.

[Dave Strider]

But the US is the best place for it. Pretty much every other person has a gun.

[Agamemnon]

True, but unless it's an all-out every man for himself war it wouldn't happen in the US.

[Dave Strider]

It's more of a Lib-Con Civil War. I'd imagine it'd mainly be made up of various militias with hunting rifles and pistols, and that doesn't exactly scream "open battle".

[Agamemnon]

Well, that makes sense, but I doubt you'd have libs and Conservatives split evenly, more likely split along politcal and social parties (ie Republicans, The Confederates, Neo-Nazis, democrats, socialists, commies, etc.).

[Dave Strider]

Yeah, but I just generally group the left and right together, as that way we don't have dozens of tiny factions in what appears to be an american Holy Roman Empire.

[Prodigal]

If there was a Lib v. Con Civil War there wouldn't even be a war. I would venture to say 4/5 of all of our soldiers come from conservative families. Check. I would continue with my venturing and say that 4/5 or more of the people with the guns would be conservatives.

It wouldn't be a war, it would be one giant execution squad.

[Agamemnon]

I agree. The only people you MIGHT get men from are the Neo-Nazis, and even then it's a HUGE stretch.

[Dave Strider]

Depends on where you live. I know quite a few soldiers and family members of soldiers, all of whom are liberal.
