Navalism 4 Map, Poll #2

[Desertfox]

Well I really like the idea of a world with no ice caps. Crazy battles in the Candian Archipelago and civilizations waaaaay down under, combine that with a totally clean slate (total war/massive natural disaster) and it could be an interesting scenario, thought I would be cool with just about anything.

I would like to play a Mexican Empire (but no Texas, no way), or else some sort of spread out country (yeah I'm crazy).

As for how to end N-verse III, I suggest a massive World War were we sink all our shiny new toys (hey that's why we built them, isn't it?).

[Kaiser Kirk]

Well, free time is yet in my future.
However, in answer to the questions.

1. I think I would prefer an 1885 world. More strange ship designs to explore. I think I can rather contentedly run Bavaria for quite some time, so long as the workload is low, and in the mid/late 20s I will likely even field larger vessels, but old style battlewagons are cool. 1785 is a little rough and handling the vessel evolution would be a challenge.

2. On power size, I suppose anywhere from  8 BP to about 20 BP is doable. Smaller and you can't build much, larger and tracking the fleet gets to be a real hassle.

3. Haven't a clue. Sentient Kodiaks? Warbear riding Barbarians? Bare Barbarellas? Or something more sober and realistic? Monarchies and Constitutional Monarchies are easiest for me to run.

[P3D]

I think AH Earth would be interesting enough, but the majority apparently wants much less constraints.

[Tanthalas]

oh I have decided what im going to do since im not allowed to have "Elves".  Instead ill just dip into my vast imagination and creat a semifacist monarchy with restricted citizenship based entierly on personal responsability.  Personaly as for start date I would prefer say 1890 with a backlog of say 10 years on Naval construction to provide us with initial fleets.

Hmm, apart from the semi-fascist bit, I'm doing that already :)

so am I, I only included it for the limited franchise bit.

[Logi]

1. Hmm, I suppose either way is fine with me. I would like to, like Miketr, to start at 1785 though.

2. Doesn't really matter to me, I am versatile :P

3. I would prefer either an island nation or some Baltic state/Russia. Of course, I could play it by the ear too.

[Sachmle]

Yeah, I know you said "By PM" but meh, everyone else did it here..so why shouldn't I

1) I'd be ok w/ continuing N3 if/when N4 happens, at least long enough to see if N4 is going to 'click'.

2) I'm content w/ a medium size power. Bigger could be interesting, and smaller has advantages too, but Medium is more my speed/style

3) Honestly I've always liked Germany (except from 1928-1945 and all the E/W crap that NATO/BLOC pulled after WWII). I'd like to try my hand at a continental Germany w/ or w/o the constant land grabbing. ;)

[Blooded]

1785? Springsharp says that it can model vessels 1850-1950. How would you propose doing earlier?

[miketr]

The Board Game Wooden Ships and Iron Men Covers the late 18th and early 19th and has some tables for build your own scenarios which could be used as a base.  Empires and Arms has a nice land combat system for the time period also.

So use them as a base. 

The problem is shell guns and early steam engines 1820's to 1840's but I figure we could come up with something to hold us over till the 1850's.

1. Are you more interested in continuing to play Nverse3 as it is now, playing a rebooted Nverse4 that starts play approximately in 1885, or playing both at the same time?

If the answer to 1 is that you are interested in an Nverse4, one way or the other:

2. Would you want a power bigger than what you have now, smaller than what you have now, or about the same?
3. Do you already have a concept in mind about what sort of nation you might want to play, or are you in more of a "play it by ear" mode.

1. I love the N3! I just never get to devote the time I would like to it. Family always throws in the wrench!
N4 would be most enjoyable in that I want to design a fleet from scratch! Not take over a fleet then alter it to suit(If you can).
I would like to think I could both but honestly unless things mellow, I doubt I could.

2. Bigger or about the same(economically), smaller size(square miles). IE, more developed infrastructure.

3. Nordic, Native American(5 Nations?Lakota-Iroquois) or Japanese type background would be preferred.

[Valles]

1. I'd like to continue N3 until, say, 1930ish, then switch over. I'd also be willing/interested in playing both at once, but don't think that the attention-split would be workable over the long term.

2. Definitely bigger; I like battleships, and Maoria's really at the very edge of where a power would be able to afford even a few of same, especially if I want to do things properly.

3. I have a couple-three ideas floating around, one of them kind of Confucio-Euro-Tibetan, another based off of a fusion of Japanese engineer-types who ended up sharing a society with a Summer Of Love Revival Tour, and a third that's a straight AH idea for a unified Japano-Korean state dating to time immemorial.

[Walter]

I second the NO F@CKING ELVES, WEREWOLVES, VAMPIRES, ETC.. BS...HUMAN ONLY.

Nah. We need the Vampires and only in whatever nation Rocky ends up with just to annoy him. ;D


1) I wouldn't mind working with both N3 and N4 at the same time.

2) A bit bigger would be nice. :)

3) I'd probably stick to what I have for N3 (a mixed society), though perhaps in a different location.

[The Bushranger]

I'm here, and getting more time, so I'll take whatever I can get. :)

[Desertfox]

Swampy, STAY AWAY from the Phillipines! :D

Mixed societies are really fun, cause you can steal people from everywhere!
