New Player - Avaliable Nations

Blooded · March 06, 2009, 05:52:37 AM

Hello,

As the Imperial Russian Player, I would love to see the Black Sea get filled in with players. As Korpen stated our Ukraine and Ottoman players have not done anything yet. I don't think Rumania was ever updated. So that could be a fresh slate country though it is small. Actually now that I just looked at it it is micro.
Ukraine was updated but nothing was posted as to final designs. I suppose they could be modified if kept at the same weight. I could send off my Ukraine files easily (as I already had made them up for Simon). I would need an email since PMs do not allow transfers.

I would suggest Bharat is not open at the moment because its about to become involved in something rather major with France.

Now as to other nations open with some contraction capacity.

1) Ottoman Empire... I do the updates for them and while they are somewhat backward they do have some nations willing to help them very cheaply. Also they are able to build fairly large ships At the same time they have some fairly powerful enemies. See Balkan War thread. I do their updates. If you are looking for a place with the most roleplay potentional and wheeling and dealing I suggest this nation.

2) Ukraine is also possible but they lack direct access to the world ocean.

Quote from: Korpen on March 06, 2009, 04:08:57 AMA problem with adding industry / changing a country such as Madagascar is that it will have profound impacts in the neighbouring countries and might radically change how they would have acted in the past. It is likely to created "were the hell did THAT come from" situations.

Thats a very valid point, and something I didn't think about.

I'm interested in ether Ottoman or Ukraine. Ottoman with its history and strategic location looks like a lot of fun. But Ukraine is probably a little more newb friendly...allthough its access to open waters is restricted by the Ottoman Empire and Baltic Confederation.

As I understand it, Ukraine has turns up to 1913H2, and the Ottoman Empire to 1915H1?

Theoretically, we did assign those countries to players who have not been active since then. Let us contact them and try to ascertain their intentions...

Ottoman Empire had its 1915 H2 report done also. I just built them some new cruisers, etc and was about to do their 1916 H1 where I would lay down a new armored cruiser.

You can see it here...

My own opinion on the other guy who said he was interested he hasn't even logged in since then so that tells us all we know but the mods will sort that one out.

It is not the first time, and likely not the last time that we will have players who sign up but then never enters play.

Think we should have a rule /guideline that if a player sign up but then goes away for more then a week or two without ever doing anything on the forum or informing anyone; then that player loose the claim on the country.

Clarification: I meant "sign up" in the sense of declaring that one wants to take over X country, not as in register for participation on the forum at large.

Hi guys, any update on availability?

The Rock Doctor · March 08, 2009, 07:17:49 PM

Sorry to leave you hanging - I've been distracted by farm chores (taking advantage of good weather) and the cinema (Watchmen).

We'll have an answer for you tomorrow.
