And for the record, with the exception of the various Islands in the Mediterranean, my island possessions consist of the Canary Islands, the Azores, Jamaica, and Cuba.

I have the Seychelles and Mauritius, as well as the various minor islands of the Indian Ocean not already specifically claimed.

How was the multi-upgrade system for battleships and cruisers - which can have more than one - meant to work? I presumed you could take one of each upgrade, but I see at least one player who stacked two Anti-Capital upgrades on a single type of battleship.

There's a reason there are at least two penalties for each upgrade. There is nothing stating you can't stack upgrades, with good reason. The only limit is that you can't stack the same penalty more than twice.

Hrm, didn't think of it that way.

Comes in handy, at least, when considering what I do whenever I can resume naval construction. :smile:

That's easy. Just be at peace with all your neighbors and you can spend as much as you want on your navy. :razz:

It's not so much me keeping peace with my neighbors as it's my need to make sure they want to keep peace with me, honestly... :razz:

Ha. Yeah, that's wise... which is why I want to ensure I don't end up in a multi-front war.

It is necessary that I know if Germany has six battleships, or two, or none at all. It is also necessary that I know how many of his battleships are actually stationed in the Caribbean, as I have vital interests in the region.
What really happened is that I read the point cost as 60 and not 90, mental transposition. I will rearrange some things

I'll allow another week extenstion. That means next month will still be in the Apirl-March timeframe.

Silence, Hadri, Klavo that gives you until next Friday to post in the game thread. If you haven't by then, then you're out, no excuses allowed. Especially since I'll given y'all a damn month to post.

By the way, for the record, with the US's desire to keep war out of the Caribbean, a long-time deployment of battleships would have been met with force long ago, putting anyone with long term battleships on colonial deployment at war, with the recent months as some sort of cease fire.

I will be making some changes to my post regarding Zanzibar. I am reaching out to Slacker about what exactly is going on since this really threw a monkey wrench into my plans. It may become a hot spot, it may not. We will see.

I really do wish that you would have put that in your OOB or something rather than in a now locked thread buried a few pages in.

And I wish you had used proper values when building your fleet so I can figure out how harshly worded my condemnation of Germany should be in my press release. It has not gone unnoticed by other powers in the region.

By the way CT, just for reference, you don't have any historical or policy-based information in your OOB either, so I feel little pity for you there.

On that note, you've not posted anything really about the history or policy of Germany at all anywhere, in your OOB, in this thread, or in the older locked one.

Just an FYI.

If it's diplomatic discussion or such, I don't need to know. If you're moving troops or doing covert operations, yes I need to know. Also if you are handing out disinformation, I need to know as well as what the real story is.

Problem with policies is that they don't happen in a vacuum and it's hard to guess how your policy would be in the past if you don't know how the other guy's thinking. I could write up that my relations with Mexico are super-cozy or, alternatively, generally icy and distant, but Swept may desire the exact opposite in either case. And it'd be silly to presume that two sides are acting in such a completely contradictory manner as policy would naturally have changed to fit the other side's actions.

Preferably the history of policies regarding two states should be hammered out and posted by the relevant players; you and me determining US-Pacifican relation history, me and Swept for Mexican-Pacifican, etc. Even more logical, all three of us - with Silence as Britain for a potential wild card - determining the history of our interrelations with each other, since US policy toward Pacifica and vice versa would certainly play a part in Mexico's policy decisions, etc.

Wee, I made a post! I finally, after many travails and rewrites, managed to get Part 1 of my opening post done. I was going to include Part 2 in the same posting, but I think it's better that I leave it for later. The first part is a good sized chunk of writing as is. Sadly the quality isn't quite what I would like it to be given the amount of time I spent writing it.

For the record, I'm in for the long haul in Mongolia. My post outlines all the major points of my overall plan, but for the time-being the only priority is getting through the door. After that things are to progress with a deliberate pace.
