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's silly that allied spies are treated like foreign spies. Pones, I have my spy hunter in my territory so maybe that makes a difference.
Message from Easternside2:
"Price of food. Is lewd pics sent on discord or oil"
>>137243Kek, nice I guess.
Also, just got myself another weapons factory.
By the way not sure what's happening but I'm having trouble replying on here. I'm clicking "New Reply" but the button just turns gray.
my country is "The World" I am kazemi kun 515 I have no idea how to play I think I'm too dumb but whatever inv me :D
>>137574Joined too your local military power Easternside2
>>137576>>137574Well to end the war as quickly as possible, I'd guess navel bombardments, depending on how many troops are left. Then an air attack from Easternside2 who hopefully shouldn't loose any planes due to the size difference, but...
Any plans?
I already bombed his planes
with my Korean war suplius and airforce advantage
Got 2k troops with plane attack
Took out 4k with my planes and ships, 12k left.
if either of you want you can do land offensives or for price I can do it
>>137577>>137583Can I have dibs on the first capital march? I've the least land of us three. One of you just has to wipe out 7k troops in a battle and I can capital march this turn. What's your price?
Discord is currenlty being fucking bananas with it's concection so can't ask for alternative payment
I spent all my MG this turn on another ship. Pones, do you have 10 to send? I can pay you back in a few turns.
you could buy MG with cash and send it to me I will do offensive
With Beat of Slavic war Drums Imperial army of easternside2 smashes pitefull defence of Prozadia army. Driving deep in to enemy territory as armies from Deponya are read to strike and deliver finall blow to end this war.
>>137583>>137584>>137592Thanks, sorry I was in the middle of something.
Want the second capital march easternside2?
Built my second university!
Also declared on Calcionia, he's ripe for conquest!
>>137625Nice, got in time.
>>137624Great!
Also, would you guys prefer if the tax was 99% and we could just take the amount we needed out of the bank? Or do you prefer the current system of 5%?
>>137626Kek, Calcionia attacked me, lost 16k, and sued for peace. I think you should have dibs on first capital march but Nirvana is online now. Should we contact him about this?
>>137627I like the current system because my budget is my own and I can always donate if you need it. I can see why some big alliances have it the other way, though.
>>137626If you want, you can march on them now. Only 5k troops left.
>>137629Thanks.
Another guy attacked me but he's pretty weak. Free land I guess
>>137628Alright
Nation of easternside2 now has large airforce
And soon will have more weapons
Quick reminder Bloc has meta rule about about 60 hours inactive nations.
Is that they become free real estate aka they get attacked
https://oppressive.games/bloc/stats.php?id=15220One of your memebers is getting closer to that mark and there is high demand for land and a lot of strong armies
>>137667Yes, forgot about this game for a while.
Going to get my fourth factory in three turns, I can get any resources to whoever needs it then.
Also, Equus, when will you be done sending us troops and we can send you some?
Btw things heating up /mlpol/ migth get dragged in to war
>>137716Not quite sure. I'd be comfortable with everyone having at least 200k troops but in some cases that might be too much
>>137718200k is quite a lot. How effective is training? I hope it's worth it because it's kinda expensive.
>>137719I'd say it is very much worth it, at least to get to standard/good training when you have over a certain amount of troops. It'd be a lot better to then spend the rest of your money getting navy and especially air force.
>>137718That's way too much, I have only 27,000 pop unemployed now and I'm going to build a factory in two turns, not counting additional mines. Bear in mind though that the three of us will have to send a quarter of our militaries to you to balance things out (after which we can't get any more troops without buying them from outside), so I'd say 148k would be a good amount. We'd each send you 37k which would bring all of us to 111k troops.
I'm working on having a very decent air force then navy. It would be helpful to have weapons production internal to our alliance because it would be difficult/costly to buy weapons from outside.
>>137719Training is very good but I'd advise keeping only a "standard" level of training in the 40's until we finish our troop sizes, because every time you receive new troops they have 0 training and bring your average down. Four elite armies of 111k each is nothing shabby.
>>137734>>137718I am okay with having at least 200k troops. Lay it on me boss.
I like to strike fear before they even have a chance. Also having enough armies to send back (which is also sent back with 0 training) so keeping a large stock pile then a transfer the fewest amount of times would be the most cost effective.
Only problem would be fuck tons of spys or a nuke to wipe the nation.
Oh and something about using up loads of weapons per deployment or something.
>>137734Alright, I'll set the limit at 140-150k then.
>>137734>minesActually, scratch that, I have only 1,400 square kilometers left and that's enough only for a factory and a university, both of which I want to get. So, unless if I find a bunch more nations to conquer, I will head into economic decline eventually.
>>137735>spiesWell, always keep a spy hunter in your country and sweep the country every so often
>weaponsIf you're turtling up defensively and providing reinforcements to whoever uses it, that wouldn't require any weapons. It would be impossible to counter a nuke and if someone wanted one we'd need to provide ALL our research for a bunch of turns to get it in a decent amount of time. Chemical weapons would be a more realistic project.
>>137717Between whom though???
>>137737>factoryScratch that, I had to buy just a bit of RM and MG so I have my fourth factory up and running.
>Between whom though?
I ca. Guess it would be between Invictus and PMM.
Also now i easternside 2
Have reached Vietnam war surplus in weapons
>>137743What's your secret, if I may ask? Are you able to buy that many weapons?
Also if anyone in /mlpol/ wants help expanding industry, let me know and I'll send you materials.
> What's your secret
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.
