Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where the Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures because of their encounters with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.
The long train ride to Bales is over, with Brie, Onyx, and Spark reaching their destination a little bruised but not dead or arrested. Before them lies a new and unfamiliar city and world, at the crossroads of Equestria's past and present, and also the Changeling Occupied Zone and East Equestria. In Baltimare, Dark Star prepares to set out on a mission to track down and arrest unfaithful and unreliable local law enforcement that have been leaking information to rebel forces. Silver may finally have a new toy he can use to clear the Catacombs of their undead presence. Iron, meanwhile, has drifted further into an temple in his search for a treasure sough by an archaeological expedition that was ambushed by bandits.

Spark doesn't look eated yet, bit he's perched precariously in a dangerous position. Like a bucket of fried chicken outside the doors of a basketball game, he's just waiting to be eated

Let them do their worst. I survived twice so far.
I’m tied up at the moment, give me a few more minutes and I’ll be back in the swing of things.

As Cauldron and iron walk back, Iron can overhear the following conversation between Grant and Pear
>"I can't wait to be over with all of this. Once we have everything from the site, I am trotting straight back to Saltmane."
"Back already? We just got here two days ago."
>"After everything that has happened, you want to stay around?"
"Because of everything that has happened... I need to stay. They finally let me out of the office, and I suspect they won't be very willing to let me come back"
>"At this point I feel like we should take the money and run. Cut our losses."
"To make it all worth it, there's something I need to do, something I need to find, before I can go back to Saltmane"
>"Don't you want to go see your loved ones?"
I haven't seen my mother in more than a year. My dad was in the Navy...
>"Oh... I take it you're not married or engaged?"
"No"
>"Do you have a special somepony?"
"Well, no"
>"Have you?"
For a while back at John Haykins there was a stallion I saw... It wasn't that serious. He never quite understood my interests. He never proposed, and I moved away. I think he joined the army, I don't know.
>"Well, once we get back we'll get plenty of new attention from this find. You'll have something to write about."
"I know, Critical Theory keeps hounding me."
>"Well if you do get something published, combinded with findings here, who knows. You might even get tenure"
"If that's how you want to look at it"
>"You may even attract a special somepony you can finally lose your maidenhood to"
Pear looks extremely offended by that last statement, as Grant laughs
>"'Tis but a joke"

This area is less densely populated than the Eastside, though not quite as wealthy as the North. There are a number of singe family bungalows on eighths of acres, a a few small apartment buildings, and some larger shop buildings, as well as the occassional warehouse or distribution center. He passes by a school, and a precinct annex. The architecture of the area is dominated by red brick, though there are a few wooden houses of white paint and low sloped slate roofs

"Ah, so I exchanged the firearms for some cash. I figure we can get a personal carriage to take us the rest of the way. This leads me to a particular junction." Brie takes a deep breath. "There's no guarantee we, and by we I mean you and I, will survive traveling to the hive. You have the option of backing out now if you prefer. I have enough resources to put you back on a train to Baltimare before the sun sets, if that is your preference."

I did a practice run of it
This update pretty much kills any normal, reasonable means of expansion on a New Mareland run (or Zebra colony campaign, for that matter) on historical mode.
New Mareland has the major problem that it is sandwiched between two Great Powers (kind of three). The only nations within the range of its ships are Wingbardy and friends (sharing a land border), Aquellia (across a strait), Sicameon, and Minotauria (only if you try to expand the range of the Navy). The basic strategy as New Mareland is always to expand south, into Sicameon and then Minotauria, or even better, Minotauria then Sicameon. After that, the Free Towns of Gryphus are vulnerable, or even the Zebra colony, Cyanolisia, or Falcor. Then, Zaphzia and Prywhen can be attacked. By this time, a war with Aquellia can be managed, and at least one naval ship is built. Expanding into Minotauria especially is essential, because only the southern Griffonian nations have rubber, which is crucial to planes and motorized. For the same reason, you should try to invade it as the Zebra colony.
A few updates ago, both Minotauria and Sicameon were massively buffed, with starting armies that would each be twice the size of the New Mareland Starting army. Now, the two will automatically create a faction together. this would raise the difficulty as New Mareland, though maybe be too much for the Zebras to overcome. What is really new is the Navy of Sicameon. Sicameon gets two Battlecruisers, and a shitload of other vessels. i think their navy is bigger than Aquellia's, and probably the third or fourth biggest on the whole continent. There is absolutely no way to invade Sicameon or Minotauria now as New Mareland on historical mode. The only two nations within range are now the great powers of Wingbardy and Aquellia, which are difficult enough to defeat with years of preperation. That will now have to be done without rubber, or the factories and resources New Mareland used to be able to get from invading south.
I guess maybe it's possible to play on non-historical, hope they never form the southern pact, then invade Minotauria, then invade Sicameon through that little straight. Still though

Well hello there, dialogue.
Iron does his best not to look nosy.
"I wonder what is making them so confident in that they will grab everything," Iron whispers just for Cauldron to overhear. "Do they have a secret weapon capable of scaring us away?"
He is a bit worried about the lack of ponies in Pear's personal life.
(No relatives to miss as well as incentive to fight back? That could complicate things. After my actions I am pretty sure I cannot exploit her lack of affection.)
He sneakes a glance on Pear's rear.
(While the view is nice, she seems to have been used by another stallion.)
He shakes his head.
(A shame about her luck with the stallion. Perhaps I should make my move with Cauldron when we get to safety with those pots, so as to not make her suffer Pear's fate.)

That's... exactly the opposite of what that entire train of dialogue was hinting
She is rather thin. Her tail is currently wrapped thin (which makes her easier to see), presumably as a measure to keep her tail from getting caught in anything in the jungle

Oh whoops. I took her offense as a 'Hey, I did have a dick inside of me once!" kind instead of the "Stop bullying me for my lack of partner availability!" kind
He looks at Cauldron.
"Could they do the authority thing?" he whispers.
Iron is a bit weary over Pear's thin frame.
(While my father told me a mare can handle most stallions, she will probably have to get used to anypony bigger than her.)
He glances the best he can at Cauldron's rear from the side to compare the thickness.

It's circa 1940, premarital sex is really only socially accepted where a partner is betrothed to be married. Pear is Bourgeois, and that group especially tends to be conservative. Grant explicitly says "lose your maidenhood" which is old timey for "virginity"
"Not in the jungle"
Cauldron is definitely thicker. Pear, in general, has the physique of a unicorn, despite being an earth pony, and seems to work mostly indoors, although she is adjusting to the jungle and caverns fairly well (including the aforementioned tail improvisation). She may well be stronger and more durable than she looks, with earth pony magic

Right. Forgot the importance of virginity for most mares.
Iron nods, having taken her glance.
"Good to know."
(Maybe the Earth Pony magic in her will awaken and strengthen in time if she lives in the jungle in time? She was able to make it this far without breaking much of a sweat, excluding the fights where she hid. Perhaps she could become more like us.)
Glancing between the two mares, his mind is processing.
(Should I go for the Earth Pony who has a negative opinion of me but is ultimately alone and would be eager to be in the jungle in order to get some history and get away from the annoying traditions of cityfolk or the zebra who has a positive opinion of me overall but chained to the concrete jungle by so many responsibilities as well as being in constant danger of being taken away due to her forced occupation?)
A little drop of sweat starts trickling down from the side of his forehead as he walks.
(Why does my soul throw these problems at me?)
