(IR) 4th ooc-thread of the 5th IR

You all begin with a tech-value of 1, equivalent to 1500. I have calculated your maximum IC, but subtracted a varying fraction from that amount when I determined the actual IC of the territory. You're not all operating at the same efficiency, but you can increase your IC by investing in industrialization.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Understood. I just figured out that it might show in the posts, but I quess that only the control percentage shows. Thanks.

Hrm, indeed.

That unmodified Regulars are unable to harm unmodified Epics isn't really a problem. All factions have Epics and Elites that can harm other Epics and Regulars still serve a purpose for fighting Elites, Regulars and Militia and occupying territory. Factions that invest in technology will get most value out of their investment if they use regulars and Regulars will be able to harm Epics by using superior technology.

The damage-during-a-negative-roll-system doesn't work without further changes to the rules, since it renders Epics too vulnerable, but it doesn't seem necessary all things considered.

Yeah, hrm... Epic PL really only fights other Epic PL well, regular PL only really fights other regular PL well... Elite however, is moderately good against either. It's an interesting dichotomy I guess. One cannot truly conquer without enough of each.

I assume you have a phantom IC, limited by the cap from your Tech.

Unless I missed it, this question hasn't been answered definitively, and I'd like to know the answer. Of course, if it has been answered and I missed it, my bad.

Previous page, Serps answered that he was correct.

Are we to have our actions emailed to you by Monday, or should they be mailed after the start of the turn?

 

[Rikandur Azebol]

They should be @malied before the Turn 1. In Turn 1 Vecna blows us all up.

That's what I was going for. (I just hope it works.)

(Phantom IC?)
-Correct.

As soon as possible, no later than monday.

The sooner I have all your e-mails the sooner I can begin.

The drow wish to welcome the Triumvirate Rebellious into the TEC Pact.
The drow hope the Triumvirate Rebellious does not join that other alliance also, but it is up to them.

Hi All,

Sorry I have been out recently.

I'm going to try and send an e-mail to everyone before the day is up. We are considering joining both alliances, for we would like to see a peacefull Oerth, recognizing that your planet is the dominant power in the sphere.

I also wanted to remind people about our offer to loan our armys out, should the need arise. Please e-mail me privately should you wish to contract our services.

We do not plan to involve ourselves heavly in Oerth politics, unless we have to. Attempts to spy, attack, or otherwise harm us would obviously lead to a more intimate involvement. Attempts to drasticaly alter the way of life in the sphere would also involve us.

(Oh, and the PL look fine, but they do not look balanced... for example, Knight otu's power has more IC and PL then bugbears, with no disadvantage I can see. This is fine if we accept that the power of different factions are not even.)

 

[Knight Otu]

I don't have the highest PL, though. I think the highest is abou 1600 total. As far as I understand, the higher the PL, the lower the control over your territories unless there are other disadvantages. Also, I guess I'm a bit of a target for many factions
I'm not counting on being safe in any way...
