Risk-Type game

[Legionary74]

So Im thinking about hosting a risk sort of game.


Back when TalkEmpire was still up, there was a guy named Craig who always hosted one.

I need about 6 people who want to try it out, as I dont remember our system 100%.

What exactly is this?

You create/choose a nation, pick the land for it, and you build it up every "turn" (1-2 turns a day).

Every day, a bonus is put into your nation, example:

Turn 1, 5,000 population
Depending on land, water, anything else I can dream up: Turn 2, 6,522 people.

Like that.

This game gives 100% freedom, so if you want to draft your population, go ahead. If you want to build ships and invade other countries (unless you border them) go ahead, and ill factor in the bonuses.

I need to make a freewebs site for this.

Anyone interested?


Time period chosen:
1900-
UPDATE:

WEBSITE (http://subsimrisk.webs.com/)



Those of you who arent 100% sure what this is, see my more detailed page here:
WHAT IS RISK? (http://subsimrisk.webs.com/whatisrisk.htm)


Xfire would help, add me, Legionary74

Poll up for time period vote.


EDIT: Dammit, forgot modern times.

Can a mod add modern times (1991-) please?>

If not, just say it any ill tally them

[Stealth Hunter]

Why not start the game around 1880 and end it in 1950, beginning right before the Scramble for Africa (when the Imperial Zenith of Europe began) and ending right after World War II in the years leading up to the harshest times of the Cold War?

[Legionary74]

Well you see, thats why theres voting :P

We decide when a period starts, then goes until someone controls the world.

[Legionary74]

Anyone interested?

I'll take Germany.

It's seriously dead in here tonight.

[Legionary74]

[Legionary74]

Due to the nature of subsim, ive decided the poll is closed, the time period will begin in 1900.

[Stealth Hunter]

EDIT: I'm fixing the map so we can have near-authentic 1900 borders. Shouldn't be too hard since Kaiserreich is based off of Germany winning the Great War with only minor variations in territory boundaries.

If i can have Fistonia, i'm game, Fistonia is a unified nation of Finland and Estonia.

Actually, nevermind, turns out I actually have to do some work at work today, I have been here for 4 months and this is the first time I am actually doing something related to my job.

Do I smell file edit/mod?

[antikristuseke]

Some limited editing, made Finland into fistonia, made all the estonian provinces natives, added new flag, combined the researcher pool and generals. After that it was all down to well timed warfare and preparations. The AI fails hillariously when you employ the tactic of in depth defense, let them create a salient, cut off their line of retreat and supply and watch hundreds of divisions of soviet troops get anihilated by CAS and finally moped up by infantry.
I did'nt play that game though, but a friend of mine did, I just gave him the idea of Fistonia and made the flag.

This map is completed for a Panthersprung scenario. I have tried to eliminate as many 1 or 2 province factions as is possible due to how minor they are. In some cases, province boundaries have been modified slightly to reflect this (the Arabian Peninsula and a couple areas in Central and South America in particular). Otherwise, all the islands put up on there have got the correct ownership displayed, Africa has been carved up accurately, and we should be good to go using this map. It's not completely historically accurate for the dead-center year 1900 (it more closely reflects 1912), but it will work well nonetheless.

So, nation lists should come next, yes? The map includes the nations of:



Afghanistan
Argentina
Austria-Hungary
Belgium
Bhutan
Bolivia
Brazil
Britain
Bulgaria
Canada
Chile
China
Colombia
Costa Rica
Cuba
Denmark
Dominican Republic
Ecuador
El Salvador
France
Germany
Greece
Guatemala
Haiti
Honduras
Italy
Japan
Mexico
Nepal
Netherlands
New Zealand
Nicaragua
Norway
Ottoman Empire
Panama/Panama Canal Zone (the latter is under the control of the United States)
Paraguay
Persia
Peru
Portugal
Romania
Russia
Siam
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
Uruguay
United States of America
Venezuela


EDIT: I hope this won't disappoint, but Crete is not autonomous on this map, either. The Ottoman Empire retains full ownership of it. If anyone has a disagreement about this, I'll gladly make it part of Greece. Also, Britain owns Cyprus. Morocco I did not include on here simply because it makes the African situation complicated because of how the provinces are setup. Gibraltar has been made a part of Spain's national boundaries, but the British can base there.

:o


Speechless.
:salute:

Poland

Did not exist in 1900.

EDIT:


Australia

Neither did this one.

[DarkFish]

sounds fun, but I've never played Risk before.. If that's not a problem, and you can give me the Netherlands, I'm in:up:

[TLAM Strike]

Well I'm working all today but I'm in starting tonight. I'll take the USA. :D

[Legionary74]

Alright,

TLAM USA
DF Netherlands



Australia and Poland didnt exist?

"looks at Silent*

[antikristuseke]

You should have a large lake instead of poland, would prevent WW2.:D

xD

Actually, the map is correct.

Poland is not on the map, Germany, Russia and Austria are.

Australia formed in 1901, which is good enough

[Legionary74]

Memo:


This map is gonna be hard as hell to fill in and manage attacks..



EDIT: Everyone, also remember that this game is NOT historically accurate.

When you take control over your nation, you can do ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Legionary74]

See mainpage for my "What is Risk" web page

[Legionary74]

I decided to cut the map into the East and West hemispheres, to make the picture bigger.

[DarkFish]

Great:salute:

When do we start playing? Also, can you send us the basic stats about our countries (like population, strength etc.)?

[Legionary74]

Great:salute:

Stats are on the "Updates" page.

We start when we have at least 5 people

[DarkFish]

Yep, I found them:salute:


Netherlands - Population: 51 million:o

What the heck happened between then and now? Where did 35 million people go? :timeout:
:O:


Anyways, maybe it's an idea to make a more detailed list, including for example number of battleships, number of cruisers, number of submarines etc.

Also, how about a list with all possible updates? (increase/decrease tax rate, research battleship technology etc. with all costs)

[Legionary74]

I thought I would leave everything up to you to decide, then I mention it all in Updates.


Thanks for that idea, ill implement it


EDIT: Oh, alright ill try

[Legionary74]

Updated

[Legionary74]

Cmon, one more person we need!

[Legionary74]

ONE MORE!

[TFatseas]

Huh, My interest is kinda peaked.

How's diplomacy handled?

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Could I take San Marino or Lichtenstein?

[Legionary74]

@ TFatseas

You contact the player of the nation you want to open diplomacy with.Nations not controlled by humans will be managed by me.

@Torvald, thats Italy.

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Well, I just want to be a microstate of some kind.

[Legionary74]

Uhm...

I guess ill fill it in

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Heheheheheheheheh...

I guess I would actually have to look into the mechanics of this game. I guess you already have a current game underway.

FYI: I was just being silly!!! I don't really know what country I'd want. I presume all the really good ones are already taken. Unless I'm not understanding the mechanics of the game, which i have already admitted I don't know.

[Legionary74]

Didnt start, no orders :P

[Torvald Von Mansee]

Well, I'll have to take a look and see if I want to take part.

[TFatseas]

Dang it, I'll give it a shot.

Argentina available? I have no reason to pick said country other than you guys need an S American nation to smack around.:DL

[Legionary74]

Sure, why not :D

Heh, thats the first great landmark avatar, you will have more.
