Post your country name and region in this thread so we can invite you. Preferably we should be in the same region so we can protect each other if we'd be smaller.
Rumsod is a nigger when it comes to the layout, it should be fixed soon. It's been a while since a pone alliance has been in this game.
>Common mistakes:>HURR DURR SHITTY INTERFACEThe game is supposed to be a cold war simulator involving more diplomacy than actual war.
>HURR DURR ITS BORING AND ONLY FARMING AND BUILDING UR NATIONThis is true to some point due to the diplomacy, but a war always comes up sooner or later. Our objective would be to become the strongest alliance.

It is secret.
You know friendship is magic
I've run out of usable land and since mines were my biggest expense I'll have an accumulating fortune as I wait for my economic growth to stagnate. I guess this means I don't have to sell research anymore. What should I do with all this money? Maybe I should buy weapons and MG to build up my military? Or maybe I should just donate more to the alliance bank. Let me know if you need anything and I can try to buy it for you.
You can just buy food from market
Attack this guy
https://oppressive.games/bloc/stats.php?id=15518As a counter-invasion. He declared war on me. I don't know if he's going to bring his whole alliance into this or if it's just a rogue member.
>>137778I entered the war I haven't attacked yet.
>>137778>>137780Athens attacked New Equs lost 8k troops in the process
>>137780>>137781Athens guy left and wanted peace.
>>137778New Equus do you want any troops to bolster your forces?
>>137778Also for easy access the guy's country's name is: Jawad Khan
Joined against Jawad Khan. He has a crazy amount of weapons.
Jawad sent peace as pressure from Invictus. You two can go ahead and send peace to him. Reparations have been sent to us
>>137786White peace has been sent. This highlights the direction of attack we're likely to face (Invictus has a few powerful members in Central Europe), and shows that we are outmatched in terms of having weapons. I'm not sure how we can get more, presumably from production and the market, but we should all aim for the higher area of Korean War Surplus.
>>137788Agreed. I think in terms of troops this is why I think we should be all around the 200 range, even if it can be hard making that work I think it'd be well worth it in the end. We should definitely aim in getting wep. factories as well as a few normal factories to help produce MG and make ships/planes while having a great number of weapons.
Would you guys like an MDP with Invictus? The leader proposed one.
>>137791Tbh I'd much prefer a MDP with Mercenaries. If it comes to it we could withstand the storm of Invictus with a decent army, air force and navy. However, Mercenaries are much more regionally concentrated and we simply cannot go to war with them. If a MDP isn't possible with Mercenaries only then should we go with Invictus.
>>137792Not Invictus, sorry misspoke. I meant Imperia.
>>137793Also, yeah I'll go ahead and see if I can secure an MDP with MC
>>137793Go for it. These are clearly experienced players and NCIS has a fantastically powerful military, as well as a blue water navy so he could help us out if we need. Maybe they could give us advice in bringing ourselves up-to-date.
Over 900 000 cash and resourses
That is why he has BW and adavanced
This is guy NCIS who decced pepper
Declared war on Prozadia. The world has been radically depopulated. There used be 4 pages under Central Europe, now there's one.
>>137894You won that very quickly, it now says I can't attack them because they lost a war just recently. Whom do you think should I attack?
>>137895He had only 7000 troops, someone swooped in and capitulated him in an instant. There's no one around to attack now but keep an eye out.
Also if you weapons manufacturers want half of my research to improve production just ask. I've stopped selling my research externally because I don't need the money anymore.
If possible, go ahead and send any spies you have toward my nation. Overtime it'll build experience as you withdraw and re-infiltrate per turn, as well as providing experience for any spy hunters. In turn if you want me to send spies to your nation for you to build experience with your spy hunter as well, that would be fine. Also, you only have to find the spy, not expatriate or kill it. Only do so if it's a spy from another alliance.
>>137898Alright. Also, try using the research to maximize your factory/ wep factory output. It can help a lot, especially since land will become a big problem in the future.
I'll see if I can distribute weapons so that everybody can at least have Korean War surplus
>>137901I'll have enough for a weapons factory in about 6ish turns more or less
>>137903Sent you some research. I'm getting a third university this turn (hopefully) and that will likely be my last big construction unless more conquests happen. I'll be able to send you RM and oil from now on.
Sullivania and Chechnya are open to attacking if anyone wants some land
>>137967"They are too weak too attack! The superpowers would gut you alive!"
NCIS posted this census which is quite professionally made. Highly useful to look at global power structures.

Kosola will become a target in 5 hours. I won't be online at the time.
>>137974I'm helping this time. So far I've: Sunk one ship, started ground offensive, destroyed an air base.
Not sure if I'm doing it right but looks good so far
>>137975I capital marched him. Doesn't look like anyone else is online.
I would like to remind you all that NCIS alliance got crushed by MC and NCIS now has 13k land from 30k land
He was crushed
>>137975Just focus on conquering land, don't worry about his air force or navy. The goal isn't to destroy him. I'm sending you some goods to help your development.
>>137978That was easy to see coming after hearing about his big heist. I don't think anyone would complain if we quietly pretended a MDP with Imperia ever happened (they proposed it under false pretenses, after all).
Okay lads so I don't know what I've done and basically my growth has decreased critically and my stability is also _very_ worrisome.
>>137979Yessir
>>137980Wouldn't rule out the game glitching, I have -$2000k budget all of a sudden and I have no idea how. Did you do Great Leap Forward a bunch of times? Otherwise, you might have gone into a bad recession. I'm sending you resources to help expand your industry. If you have lots of land to spare focus on mines to improve your GDP.
>>137981Oh, I know why in my case. Sending resources to a central economy leads to lost money so I'm now $3 million in the red, lol.
If it's not too much, could someone send me 2 MG? I bought a bunch to expand my airforce but I just need 2 more to complete that.
>>137983Sent you some MG. Also 5 mbbl of oil in case you need it.
>>137980Go ahead and withdraw ~20,000k to spend on mines/facs/whatever you need to try and get the growth back on track. I'd go ahead and spend a lot of it on Great Leap Forward since you're Central Planning in order to get your growth raised and the rest of it on making sure that your factories are not only receiving the RM/Oil they consume in order to make MG but also getting more mines in order to increase your natural GDP.
I have a weapons factory now.
>>137987Congrats! I'm still adhering to the rule of specialization because the research and MG I'm producing are useful in their own right. I'd beware of Invictus though because of the programs they have. Most of them just make domestic policies cheaper but their freedom of information gives them a massive boost in research because of the more than 60 universities they have. I'm afraid they'll snowball, but they definitely will be getting nukes before anyone else.
I've entered a full-scale recession and there's not much I can do to ameliorate it due to lack of land. However The Toothfairy is open for conquest so join me!
>>138245Got my fifth, yes fifth, factory. Hopefully my country will stop falling apart.
>>138329Given you 20,000k to help with economic recovery.
Well I've arrested opposition and dealt with rebels, hopefully that's enough, but my growth recovery is extremely low at $2 million a turn. I deliberately reduced my troop count to under 140k to help it along, but I'm hesitant to bring my troops under 120k. If any of you also need help, I'll send you stuff and try to get you some oil.
>>138330My bad, thought you were Sirocco. Gave him money though as well. It's bad with him.
Also, you can still withdraw the spy next turn change I think. There's a chance for it to say it's executed when trying to withdraw a spy but it doesn't for some reason.
My economic growth is getting better now to the point where I should consider decelerating to prevent this from happening again. Could you send me more troops? Now I don't mind having 200k.
>>138410Sent. I'll go ahead and start up the troop recruitment (10k to a nation per turn) again. Also from the looks of it Sirocco might rubber-band back up to his normal GDP.
Okay so now the economic collapse is over and I have withdrawn 20000k and spent it mostly on humanitarian aid. Everything should be be fine from now on.
>>138416Nevermind, I got invaded by the UNiggers and brought rebels here... I hope nobody minds if I use the bank again to fix this. Feels bad
Go for Kopran and Konto, it's possible to declare war now!
>>138417You gotta keep your reputation above Axis of Evil and Pariah man. You'll lose most of your soldiers if you don't.
Also make sure to only keep spies in the alliance for training purposes.
Well the RM market collapsed.
It's about 16 per RM now.
>>139149I move that we have a special meeting because of the outbreak of nuclear war and global economic collapse. Looks like Invictus is at war with multiple groups, including Mercs and Sovereign League. Just built a factory and I'll work on getting my airforce as big as possible.
Hi, I found this game two days ago. The game encourages me to join an Allience, I just wanted to learn first and develop peacefully...
Howerver, a nuke just droped + you are the only allience with reasonable tax!
So, I'd like to join you...
Nation: European States
Leader: Athan
Region: Central Europe
PS: Is there any other means of comunication, or should i check here often, for messeges.
>>139178Welcome! You should mainly just check here for messages since that's where the majority of our discussion in the alliance will be.
>>139178Get your economy to free market and I can send you a stimulus package of RM and oil to build factories and military factories, plus research to increase industrial technology. There's a guide you should read at the start of the thread. Right now we're focusing on weapons production.
Alternatively, I could send goods to Pones to help build more factories.
>>139191I'd appreciate oil. I'm trying to get another factory so my economy stabilizes. Currently my econ is at freemarket.
Sending a few things to European States is a good idea too.
>>139191Thanks I really appreciate it.
>>139191Thanks for helping. I went to free Market.
I need more Oil to make factories and weapons.
I have only 24oil....
I tried the in-game Allience messeges, but they don't seem to work...
How long is "a month"? I thought it was the same as a turn, but i logged in and had the "next month" changes...
btw, i made a factory now.
>>139195I'll see about buying some oil from my contacts. I recommend building factories and military factories in a 1:1 ration, that way you have enough MG to keep weapons production going. And yes, a turn (12 hours) is a month.
I am 3/5ths of the way to completing chemical weapons, just waiting for my reputation to recover
>>139196Very nice
I have chemical weapons ready just in caseDo you have 10 rm I could borrow too?
500 research to whoever can make it count.
UN invaded me because I ended up at "Axis of Evil" due to trying to maintain stability in the wake of economic collapse (though the chemical weapons certainly didn't help). I knew it would be bad but I didn't expect to lose everything. It's been fun frens, there's no coming back for me.
>>139591Just whatever you do next time please make sure the lowest your reputation gets is Mad Dog.
I just noticed it now, but I don't have any oil reserves, would discovering oil reserves help against economic collapse?
>>139917Well, your wells can't drill without reserves. At this point building more wells would help with raising real GDP more: almost $80 million per well versus less than $50k per mine. They're more expensive though.
>>139917>>139918Also when you run out of reserves the whole Oil GDP goes to $0. And finding more oil reserves get's more expensive.
>>139917>>139918>>139919If you need to feel free to use the money in the bank for prospecting. It gets more and more expensive each time
Peppermint formerly New World Order alliance officer during war choose to run to enemy alliance leaving his fellow officers to die in figth.
For this. I Ordo Malleus Inqusitor know as Easternside2, being last officer of NWO still playing this iteration with new allies, will smite you down. May original NWO officers rest easy knowing that they have been avenged
With forces or coward Pepper flee before migth of avanging angels of Easternside's army. Old grievences haves been resolved by blood

Sunset you have chosen Death
>>140115Grand army of eastern side walk past your ruined shambles of military with superior firepower and numbers we crush weak pony forces. And march to victory
Not once have I fired upon you.
Everyone go ahead and send/accept peace to who you can. There is a high likelihood that Mercenary Corps will be continuing their attacks however. We'll see if we can get Pirate MMP to hold up the MDP we have with them.
Mercenary Corps said they're going to be sending peace ASAP.
Pony forces are broken. Migth of imeprial army is unmatched by pony forces. May Luna be forever kept captive in Easternside as slave to it's ruler.
You guys can take out part of the alliance bank to help for recovery.
>>140223Sounds like autism
Come merge with us. We will help your guys- Kalecepo
over the skies of nation called "Pones of Sunset" roaring sound of Jet engines is heard. Shortly there after pillars of fire can be seen errupting from pegasus camps of ponies.
Imperial army of eastern side is here to take more land and more ponies as slaves. Pony towns are tourched as imperial army takes mares as slaves for imperial soldiers to enjoy.
