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.

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.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1udYvZ0HB7JwQjBsVN1LbY-GIlmIs-EOUzkfQ1QzHHk4/edit?usp=sharingKosola 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.
