Napoleonic Empires: Free For All

[seth4god]

You still have sz50 as your flag is still on it as UK hasn’t gone there as of yet. Right now you’re +6 for that convoy zone and -6 for your NO, which leaves you at game neutral in the convoy department.

Official allies can liberate stuff for each other and revert original terr back to their original owners. Currently UK has controls both your other convoy zones (sz61 & sz38).

UK doesn’t collect that 12ipcs for itself, however that income is denied to you as long as a flag other then your own flies from them. Either yourself or Spain can liberate said convoy zones and allow you to collect on them again.

Barques are transports (they can transport only 1land unit, unless they’re sailors)

[seth4god]

TC is the weight of the units. Barques are not the dds, they’re the transports. Most ships can carry one TC worth of dudes, Marines only have 1TC. Barques have a TC capability of 3, so they can carry 1 cav, 1marine + inf/art, OR 3 marines. Corvettes have a first strike capability, not sure if on offense and D or just on offense. Additionally they may retreat to an adjacent seazone after each round of combat, regardless if on offense or defense. You don’t need a special unit to kill them and nothing negates them. This ship type was very elusive and fast in real life and used to prey on merchants and act as scouts for the main fleets. Cutters are the artillery of the sea and plus up several units.

btw, I’m done answering questions as most of this information CAN be found in the game notes AND has been previously been discussed several times in this very thread. If you can’t take the time to read it then I don’t see why the rest of us should have to regurgitate this stuff over and over for you.

@Funcioneta:

@Veqryn:

alright alright, you’ve convinced me,

the next version of this will have the convoy of spain go down to 8 pu’s, and also slightly reduced territory values in spain, but no negative objective for spain

(the negative objectives for uk and france will stay though)

This seems ok. However, don’t reduce values for Gibraltar and Lisbon, or Spain is going to have a hard time to buy navy…

I agree, I’d also add keeping Galacia to this list as well. Otherwise Spain would be stuck only putting 1-2 ships into the water at a time. Spain needs terr with 2+ along it’s coast to give them ship build options. In fact, I’d argue towards upping the value of any of these 3 territories, especially Lisbon. Maybe take some of the other terr down to 0?

I’ll do Sweden later tonight.

I just discovered that you can produce units on generals that moved… holy cow. i feel so dumb, I could have been spitting guys out closer to the fight.

[Gargantua]

LOL, Don’t have a cow!

[Cow]

When you do an update, can you add hot air balloons to the unit table? Didn’t they put bombs on them or something and like a pilot would try to crash it at the enemies… I thought it was like martyrdom or something for god, kinda like how the japs kamikaze in ww2.

[Cow]

nvm I just googled, the frenched used hot air balloon for recon only.

Still it is not my fault people back then were too dumb to realize they could crash those things into the enemy as long as they can brainwash someone into thinking they will go to heaven for it. This game should totally have hot air balloons.

[Cow]

you should make that a tech option. i want hot air balloons.

[Cow]

That is it. spain take my capital or else I will give the ottos the last 2 vcs he needs to win.

This game is going to end. functionetta you can either have my capital and the vc near it and make a push for austria or the ottomans can win.

I am doing this in strict protest of offshore bombardments. They fired solid shells, explosive rounds did not exist in this time, their targets had to be visible. How can a defender not retaliate? That makes no sense at all. At least in revised it was like okay well battleships had a pretty good range and made a big boom boom so whatever.

[seth4god]

Cow, please don’t ruin the game for everyone else.  :cry:

[Cow]

I am going to take austria and then LEAVE. so go for it ottomans, get that win. After I take austria, I will bear no responcibility for its defense.

I will not stop ottomons from winning. If the ottomans get those two vcs and win the game while I push for prussia, I will just blame the russians for not fighting the ottos and you can blame me. screw you all.

I am going to do what I set out to do to begin with. That is capital slaying.

[Cow]

I don’t do the whole stop someone else from winning game, I just shove my stuff at people.

[Cow]

it is too late for me to start building naval, I didn’t realize that I would develop a grudge against veqryn… only way I can get back at him is to have someone other than him win.

[Cow]

or I can just give my capital to spain and see if he can do something with that income.

[Noll]

Or we can play the game normally and have fun, even tho’ Veqryn looks on the winning side.

I mean, just playing is fun! We could try to fight Veqryn to rebalance things.

What if Prussia and Sweden ally to kill the UK’s navy there?
What if France goes all land in Italy?
What if me (Ottoman) move my fleet to face his one in the medi?

He will be rich enough to fight 4players? Will diplomacy succed? I like the variables!

[Cow]

Nah you guys are silly, uk win or ottos win at this point. If you don’t see that then you are blind.

UK is close to VC win. Once naval superiority is obtained there is no coming back from it for other nations. It is done.

Ottos win or UK wins. or spain can take my capital and the game can continue, but after looking at the board it is too late for that.

So ottos win or uk wins, I am glad to offer the last vcs to the ottomon empire. It cannot be helped.

[Cow]

In FFAs this happens, a player goes and does one thing and then all of a sudden he is put in a spot where he can stop one from winning and allow another to win instead or just watch the one player just win.

Don’t judge me.

[Cow]

fine, screw it. I go to war with everyone, except spain. I’ll push for my win in prussia and st petersburge. If ottos take his last two vcs and win, not my problem.
