Ill Mark that down as "oh fuck yes"Spoiler(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/60wltgN3qes/maxresdefault.jpg)[close]
sure
I'm always willing if it's a period I find interesting. If I can give 2 pieces of advicethat was the intention. Problem with my game: everything was made up by me
1. keep it simple
2. Keep it small
I think the problem is that at some point players are going to think of new concepts. That should be limited, if not completely banned.after all its DnD with countries. We can handle it like GMs do in Pen and Paper
What does BoP actually stands for?Balance of Power. Would be very happy of you played with us :) Look at some of the other threads in this Board if you are wondering what it is.
r u sure u have enough time caz?
Have you checked your diary, and looked into the future by about a month!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmh??
Yeah Caz, what will you say about that?Lösch dich.
What's the sense of creating a topic, saying absolutelly nothing about the game itself and expecting people to be "hyped"? Seems like one of infamous "superior placeholder" topics that once appeared all over this board.It was to determine if people would actually be interested in it. No sense in working out rules Ehen there is 1 Person playing.
With that being said, I may be interested in playing depending on period and mechanics of the game.
There’s more people than I thought there would be :oI thought the same. I will come home on 8.1.18, so rules and other juicy stuff prob have to wait until then.

I'd be up for it if you don't need an excelent level of english to understand player's interaction. Just gonna need someone to explain me the basics so I'm not a dead weight. I've read a few topics about it, I understand the main idea yet there are problably a thousand things it will be hard for me to ackwoledge at the begining. Just let me know if you need an extra Caz ;)We always do! Everything you need for playing is to enjoy RPing, be able to write long Essays and an interest in History. You Wege born for this :D
Damn. I was interested, just not committed. Victorian is a weird era imo, I don't like world campaigns, just Europe-sized campaigns. And no, "Europe is in this, too!" doesn't cut it, late period games are just about fighting for colonies and making backstabs in Europe, I find that really boring. If it was medieval, when Europe looked like shattered glass, then hell yes.Germany and Italy are shattered glass and almost Austria-Hungary but uhhhhh
Guns and cannons and resources need to be basic and scarce for things to be interesting, imo.
Plus it's the time of revolutions in a lot of countries' histories so it could become even more shattered glassDamn. I was interested, just not committed.

yeah
rather so something New that im interested in instead of trying to appeal to people
I’m not a huge fan of the Victorian era but of course I’ll still playPlus genocide
Victorian era? What's there to do except fighting natives armed with fruit and watching France and Germany throw insults at eachother?

Plus you gotta spend the whole game trying to maintain that lovely status quo. That's why it's called Balance of Power no?Victorian era? What's there to do except fighting natives armed with fruit and watching France and Germany throw insults at eachother?
Tbf that sounds like a lot of fun.
So any word on when we will get mroe info on this?Caz said when he gets back from visiting family for holiday, idk about european vacation but i know some of my uni friends come back next monday or something like that. My guess is during or after this weekend?
I'll be back home on the 7th of January
chuckled irl gjI'll be back home on the 7th of January
I shall translate. I didn't realise the errors of my ways, and have no time to spare in this current state of the world. I may or may not be back for several months as I trek across the mountains of tawoogoo in search of the lost banana.
I.e. cya in 7 months.

Monitor cable brokegive me your snapchat via PM and will proof it. I know it sounds like im making it up, fuck I wish I would.
dont hear that one too often
well furrnox send one right after I posted. But not even for a major.countryMy fucking Monitor cable broke. Gonna get a New one on monday. I got exactly 1 PM for a great country, so I guess interest isnt that high anywayso I’m the only one who sent in a nation thing :o

(pssst change your bop m8)but only you and during didn’t like the Victorian era and I’ve seen a couple new people show interest
i would prefer a different era as well(pssst change your bop m8)but only you and during didn’t like the Victorian era and I’ve seen a couple new people show interest
I think he just needs to make the thread so people actually know what their signing up for
Okay so that’s 4 people who don’t like the Victorian era (I missed raddeos post earlier)
I honestly don’t care what era it is but I would rather play something the GM actually enjoys
I mean I doubt caz, during and volks favorite era is WW1. And it’s not even about making the game better. It’s about the gm being able to actually enjoy being the gmOkay so that’s 4 people who don’t like the Victorian era (I missed raddeos post earlier)
I honestly don’t care what era it is but I would rather play something the GM actually enjoys
uh, sorry, but when has it not been something the gm actually enjoys? "but i ACTUALLY like this era, guys! that means i'll make it way better!" thats total bullshit.
Not gonna lie it sounds interesting. Although reading the battles was always one of my favorite parts about these games. I still go back an re-read some of them (specifically ones about Ethiopian landships)Isn't that also what Furrnox did in his Japan game? I also remember another BoP that was being developed where they had like industrial levels & every level boosted something else by a certain % (I remember because I think all of England was Red & Orange). It seems like a lot to manage & handle.
I ask remember the last BoP you were working on awhile which was super over complicated. Even some of your ideas sound a little too complicated for a simple forum game
i think it was just the trade/resource systemNot gonna lie it sounds interesting. Although reading the battles was always one of my favorite parts about these games. I still go back an re-read some of them (specifically ones about Ethiopian landships)

That one was based off a Total War, so yeah, I will agree on that. What sounds too complicated about this proposed system, though? And just to clarify, there will be battle reports, but shorter versions.
some of your ideas sound a little too complicated for a simple forum gameThis could be fun to code though if you have any knowledge of that. Seems like a smaller version of eu4 but the few elements are a bit more complex, only because a human would be doing all these things.
you say that now but if your game does happen you’ll seeThe economy system is simple for one nation. But can you imagine doing that for 10+ Nations every update? That shit is too much. It really sounds like EU4 but the difference is EU4 has a code to do everything while you want to do it all by hand
Would take a couple of minutes per country. It'd take less time than writing long reports where one has to play with words. It's all simple maths and logic.
A has X tax income + X trade income + X resource income - X spent on armies/navies = +/- budget.
In fact, the dice rolls for battles would still be the most extensive part of GMing a system like this because of the phases and required writing. Also, players will have a good enough insight over their own economies (because they need to), so they can help by giving the necessary information and I'll just check if it's correct.

Caz if you want to do it than just do it, set up a thread see how people many sign up and if no one signs up just lock it.the threads already been posted
