Oh my god. We're all idiots.  :o

That "lake" in Montenegro that all of our old maps had isn't a lake at all. It's Montenegro itself. When the Ottomans owned the Balkans "Montenegro" was still their vassal, though at that time the only land the Prince/Duke/Count/whatever of Montenegro owned was that one "lake" looking province in the middle of what should be modern day Montenegro. None of us ever realized that it was just a map artifact from having to copy over maps and editing them for different time periods.

So I've done the first (VERY) rough draft of the game map. I simply took the old BoP 1914 map and edited it heavily (which is why you can see the massive splotch of "Empire of Germany" color where the HRE states should be.

It should be obvious that this is not the complete version. I edited the areas I knew by heart or where I could edit with faith in my knowledge of the region. There are multiple areas of contention that I admit I am not knowledgeable enough to edit, and so I need your help. I would like help with:

-The German States (The HRE is the most confusing thing I've ever seen. Enclaves within enclaves within exclaves, counties here here and there, etc etc. I've done Baden, Bavaria, East Frisia, French Hanover (technically British Hanover but occupied by French) Mecklenburg, Oldenburg, Saxony, and Wurttemberg to the best of my knowledge, however feel free to correct any mistakes or make your own corrections to the area. I admit ignorance of the HRE.)
-North Italy (I think I've done a decent job getting the basic borders of the region, mainly Kingdom of Italy, Papal States, and Etruria. However, I am also not particularly confident in the region so please do me a favor and look it over. If you spot a province belonging to the wrong Italian state please let me know.)
-Egypt (I'm not sure at all about Egypt. Is it British? Is it French? Is it Ottoman? Mameluke? All of the above?)
-Partitioned Poland (I think I got it right. However, the borders are not as rigid as this province map mode, so please give it a look over.)

All help is appreciated. Here is first rough draft:

Shoot, I forgot Luxembourg is French territory.

Edit: I've also tweaked the colors ever so slightly to better differentiate between nations as well as just look slightly better. Some are almost unnoticeable while others are very noticeable (Russia, Prussia, Sweden etc).

Edit Edit: I've also decided on the first possible start date of the game, which is January of 1804. Napoleon has just crowned himself emperor in December of 1803, which should give people time to prepare stuff and react to the news. It also would give me time to instigate a few historical things with France, including the execution of the Duke of Enghien, which should also give you all something to react to and which should, rp and history wise, should push the monarchies of Europe to begin hostilities against France. I've also come up with the idea of the game moving in either blocks of 3 months (which I prefer) to allow a Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall turn, or in blocks of 4 months.

Please discuss.

I agree on the 3 months thing. It should have various bonuses and penalties to each season. Like for example winter gives more attrition and you will not be able to raise troops.

North Africa and Egypt both belonged to the Ottomans at this point. And I also think that Etruria should be owned by the Spanish Empire. Other than that, I think that map looks good for a very rough draft - you might have to change the sizes and shapes of some provinces to make it resemble the map that Furrnox just provided.

Also I think that 3 months is a better round period. That's exactly what I was thinking too. Hopefully with 3 months per round we will finish a BoP.

Egypt was having a civil war between the Egyptian Mameluks who wanted independence and Ottoman Turks who wanted to bring it back under control of the Empire so its kinda hard to say who it should belong to.
Personally i think it would fit more if Egypt was a puppet state of the Ottomans.

Concerning Poland, borders should be a little different. Border between Russia and Prussia should lay on the Neman river just west of the Vilnius and Trakai. Also Austrian-Prussian border should be changed a little, as Warsaw was taken by Prussians during Partitions. I believe it should look rather like this:

And if we're talking about Poland already. I know it's not on the list but will it be playable in any way? It's true that it didn't appear on the map until 1807, but even before that date Poles were quite active during the war (for example as DÄ…browski Legions). Also it would be a shame to totally wipe them from the history of our game :(

I've edited map as best I can so far without cutting provinces apart. I still need help with the HRE area so if anybody has an idea of the borders of Hesse-Kessel, Prussian lands in the region, etc pls help.


And if we're talking about Poland already. I know it's not on the list
If it's not on the list, it's not playable. If it is on the list, it is playable.* If you want something not on the list to become playable, ask France to make it playable (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaties_of_Tilsit).  ;)

*Unless it's a client state/a state owned personally by Napoleon, ie (Kingdom of Italy - King Napoleon Bonaparte) Then it's still technically playable but... you know, Napoleon.

So I  made a few changes to the map... I'll start with north italy. The Ligurian Republic (above Corsica) was an independent but satellite state of France. I also gave France another province to make it resemble the map more. Also, the Spanish Empire controlled Etruria at this point and Sicily and Naples were in a union, Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the purple one. Now in Germany, the Swedish ruled over parts of Pomerania until 1815 and Mecklenburg was made bigger. Also, I gave Austria another province next to Montenegro, as they historically ruled over this. Meanwhile, I have also expanded the French as they controlled huge parts of the Rhineland, much further than Alsace-Lorainne.

I'm not sure if that blue stuff inside of Germany is French or not with that color (it's supposed to be independent), also Prussia had enclaves inside of Germany. Other than that it looks mostly correct since we don't seem to be doing the smallest German states.

Here is rough draft 2 of the BoP map. I've edited according to input from you all in both this thread and my PM's. Some things I still need help with, mainly HRE (welp). Most of the map has been resolved though. I advise you all take a look at this and see if you spot either any artifacts from the BoP 1914 map (Dead pixels, pixels colored a different color etc) or any mistakes. (HRE, Italy, etc)

I've kept some things unchanged because of reasons in-game, they're easier for me as a GM, or they're just not worth the effort to change them (Looking at you "Barbary States". Absolutely useless, didn't even do a damn thing in these wars.)
Map Draft 2
(https://i.imgur.com/MyqaGmm.png)
[close]

Change List
-Made  Batavian Republic more ORANGE
-Changed some nations' colors to better differentiate between each other (Italy made lighter, Russia made darker and greener, Portugal color made slightly less grey, Spain and Papal States colors made more unique, etc)
-Added Ligurian Republic (annexed by France later)
-Added Electorate of Salzburg
-Added Swedish Pomerania
-Added Mecklenburg-Strelitz
-Added Prussian... whatever that land is called. (Westphalia? Rhine? The land stretching from East Frisia down the border of Batavian Republic.
-Flipped 1 border province from Russia to Prussia
-Removed map artifacts from BoP 1914
-Extended France's Rhineland border

[close]

I'm not sure if that blue stuff inside of Germany is French or not with that color (it's supposed to be independent)

It was occupied in 1803 by the French, though no formal treaty between France and GB ever came about so it is technically not France's but Great Britain's. For our purposes it's French (unless GB decides to reclaim it?).

Map is going well, however once again I admit ignorance of the HRE. I know there's Hesse Kessel & Prussian enclaves somewhere in that "Germany" region, however because the HRE is such a fuckfest of enclaves and exclaves I am not confident enough to really put down provinces there. Once again if you see an error point it out, specifically in Germany if possible.

Also, does anybody know if East Frisia was independent or not? When I looked through books the only mention I found of East Frisia was that it was annexed by Prussia in the late 1700's right before the Revolution. Also I think the Prussian enclave should be bigger but I'm not confident enough to make it so.

Also I think I might start opening up reservations once I finalize a few things. I would like to add some country modifiers before players start picking their nations so I can be fair in judgement. My only request for when I open up reservations is that the non-France client states be picked first (that means avoid Switzerland, Ligurian Republic, Batavian Republic possibly, the Republic of Italy possibly); preferably I'd like the major nations picked first and then the smaller but important states picked next (Bavaria, Portugal, Baden, Wurttemburg, Saxony, Denmark-Norway, Sweden etc).

Thanks for help in advance.

Just a heads up, I hope to get the game ready to play by this Sunday/Monday. However, if work permits I might be able to have the BoP ready by the weekend or even Friday.

Edit: Sometime next week appears to be what my work schedule will allow. Since I do not want you all to just simply sit here doing nothing however I am going to let you all reserve your nations. There is a list of priority which will detail which nations I would like taken first & which ones I'd like people to avoid.

Nation Reservation Priority List

1. All of the major nations.
2. Coalition Nations: Naples-Sicily, Kingdom of Sweden
3. Major minor nations: Kingdom of Denmark-Norway, Kingdom of Etruria, Kingdom of Portugal, Papal States, Kingdom of Sardinia
4. French German allies (Be warned, these nations may be annexed and form the Confederation of the Rhine): Electorate of Baden, Electorate of Wurttemberg, Electorate of Bavaria, Electorate of Saxony, Hesse-Kessel
5. French Client States (I'd prefer people not to play these, specifically Italy, because they are almost always annexed by France) : Batavian Republic, Swiss Confederation, Republic of Italy, Ligurian Republic

Mhm. They kind of did their own thing (mainly get rekt by the Americans & raid a bit) out of sync with whatever Europe or even the Ottomans were doing. They'll still be vassal of Ottomans though.

In 1803 Spain and France where allied but as Spain keept shifting sides the French and some Spaniards made a  popular coupe (since even the people where tired of the king) in favor of his son however Napoleon did not trust the new king and installed his brother instead and since Napoleon had about 100,000 troops in Spain at the time, the people couldn't do much other than protest until they started their guerrilla warfare that is.

Unless I counted incorrectly that means we have all the independent states done. Except Portugal & Papal States, with Portugal having the priority as Papal States were kinda like Napoleon's bitch as well.

Edit: Oh and Etruria. Which is sort of vassal of Spain because the queen regent and king are spaniards, but also vassal of France because... France. We could just leave Etruria as just another one of France's client states that they may/may not annex.

Edit Edit: We also still have Sardinia & a whole bunch of other minor nations available if people don't want to play a German state or are joining late.

Oh, unfortunate. It looks like it was a birth defect. I dont think her mouth developed enough to be able to insert food in there. Maybe she survives off smoothies with a straw. That would explain her slim figure

So I have a question for you all and it's really important. The last time we did a BoP, BoP 1914, I told you all to research your own countries to see what you could find about armies, navies etc & use that to guide you all regarding how you did war. I did that then because the armies were so large, the countries so innumerable, and the information so vague or non-existent for certain countries or groups that it was hard for me to tell you confidently "you can raise this many men".

However, we are in the weird situation where all of us (except for a few *Cough Cough* Baby J) have studied, learned, read about and explored the Napoleonic Wars. I myself have an entire mini library of Napoleonic Wars books (my favorite rn being "The Napoleonic Wars: 1803-1815" by David Gates) not including the many many books & resources I can find in libraries and in Google Books as well as online. Theoretically, I could do research all of your nations and give you all a decent amount of detail in how big your armies were (peak and depending on the nation, by year & who composed it), the number of cavalry and guns you had at a certain point in history, etc etc. That's actually what I've started doing in the main BoP thread. However I must admit it is a lot of work having to comb through books and books and pages of stuff trying to find "The King of Bavaria left with all 22 thousand of his troops" & "By the time of the start of the war of the Third Coalition, Napoleon's Grande Armee comprised 194 thousand peronnel, with 396 guns, and of which 29 thousand were horsemen."

What do you guys think we should do? Should I continue to look for information and put it on the page for everyone to see to help you all figure out how big your armies are or should I let you all research your armies? Or should we work together and compile a mini database so that we all have a general idea of men to nation?

Work on the game is going well. I'm enjoying reading through my books again. I still need help with the map (HRE, Hesse-Kassel why are the borders so bad). The only system I would want is a system for battles. Everything else I'd like to have more Caz-Duuring style GM discretion instead of purely relying on abstract equations and number crunching for every little tiny thing. Then again, idk. I don't know what you guys want until you tell me. So please do. Thanks in advance.

Map Draft 2

Just thought I would help out with the map. The western territories that you have given to Prussia aren't the Westphalian areas that belonged to Prussia. Also, on the map, French Hannover's most Western province wasn't part French Hannover, and should be the province below instead. I am not sure, but I also don't remember Gibraltar being that "large" and Swedish Pomerania stretching that far inwards. The lands which I'm assuming belong to Oldenburg (?) also weren't that big. You should probably also cut the far most Northern and Eastern province of Saxony in two, and give the top part to Prussia. Bavaria also did not stretch that far west, but meh.

Anyway, I'm here to be the Pope. Gib Papal States.

So should I stop gathering information or should I continue to gather information but just with your help as well? Regarding the army sizes. Also, navy. I can't seem to be able to find any reliable sources for navy stuff. Nowhere so far do any of my books say "Spain had X ships of the line, Y Frigates". So help with that would be great.

Just a few things I've been thinking about. Should I use the same combat system that I use for land battles for naval actions? Also, some generals died in/right after battles like Kutozov & Bagration. Should I make it so if the enemy rolls a certain number over your roll your general is killed, or if you roll a certain dice roll (7 or 10 for examples) general dies, or should I just use judgement & the plans you guys send me (ie battle complete disaster, general dies).

I am going to continue to try to find as much info about nations' armies & navies as much as I can. So far everything's going great. Still need help in the HRE though.

Also, if anybody can create a BoP Napoleonic Wars header that'd be great.

And Volk, concerning Ottomans, you've written in main game topic, that Ottomans cannot reform their army. Sultan Selim III was the one who tried to reform Ottoman army, he introduced so called New Model Army, changed organisation of military, reduced role of Janissaries, etc. His reforms were one of the reasons of Janissary rebellion and his assassination in 1807. So removing them from the game seems to be strange idea to me. Why have you done so?

So removing them from the game seems to be strange idea to me. Why have you done so?
By reform military I mainly meant tactics/doctine wise. At the start of the war of the third coalition the allied powers all used (by Napoleon's standards) outdated tactics; mainly the super linear way they used infantry (those really still and stagnant Fredericken Lines focused on fire rather than the more attack-focused columns and carres), their disposition towards artillery (Grand Battery & horse artillery), the piecemeal use of cavalry, the whole Frederick era system of logistics, etc. The whole "reform" mechanic is mainly to give France an early edge in the beginning due to new tactics but allows the other powers to catch up.

Ottomans did do reforms it is true, mainly the Nizam-ı Cedid reforms, however the new army was both very scarcely used and was almost always impeded by conservative Turk ministers, generals, the Yeniceri, etc. Plus even though they were trained in western tactics, the tactics of the leaders and military overall remained "old". IE over reliance on the initial charge of cavalry like in previous centuries & the Yeniceri corps being the backbone of the infantry with basically levies supporting it. Plus, if the player did try to reform their military to get the Napoleonic tactics bonus, I'd have to do massive Yeniceri rebellions that would distract me from the main affairs of Europe, be nearly impossible for the player (Napoleon) to beat (considering the New Model Army at its peak was about 25,000 strong), and just be another thing on my plate to worry about. I figured I could just simplify matters by just keeping the Ottomans from getting that bonus.

If Napoleon really wants to try the whole reform thing or you guys just want to allow Ottomans to reform I can change it. Just remember that it's another thing I'll have to worry about, mainly because every nation but the Ottoman Empire can reform without having massive rebellions. Keeping the Ottomans from reforming their military doesn't mean I won't do some of the key historical flavor events (like Selim III's assassination), it just means they won't be able to get that +1 bonus in rolls that everyone else might enjoy.

Raddeo does make a point, Selim was the first Sultan to try and reform the Ottoman army, but it wasn't successful mainly because generals, ministers and most importantly the actual soldiers (like Volk said) didn't like being trained to western standards.

Personally, I'd like the option to reform, but I might not even bother especially if its just going to result with a rebellion.

Nope, that's wrong. 33.000 marched to Russia, however the Bavarian Army had about 60.000-65.000 men alone in the professional army, they were able to raise even more men for the field while keeping the nation going when needed. Let's not forget that Bavaria rekt Austria hard.... Since 1805 Bavaria had to bring up 30.000 men for the French cause all the time, but the Bavarian army itself was much larger.



These are the infantry divisions that marched to Russia in 1812:

1. Brigade Generalmajor von Siebein
1. Leichtes Infanteriebataillon (Major Gedoni)    16 Offiziere - 581 Mann
1. Linieninfanterie-Regiment König (Oberst Baron Ströhl)    38 Offiziere - 1.514 Mann

3. Leichtes Infanteriebataillon (Major Bernklau)    19 Offiziere - 745 Mann
4. Linieninfanterie-Regiment Sachsen-Hildburghausen (Oberst von Zoller)    39 Offiziere - 1.444 Mann
10. Linieninfanterie-Regiment Junker (Oberst Graf Preysing)    37 Offiziere - 1.473 Mann

3. Brigade Generalmajor Graf Rechberg
6. Leichtes Infanteriebataillon (Major La Roche)    20 Offiziere - 1.009 Mann
8. Linieninfanterie-Regiment Herzog Pius (Oberst Wreden)    37 Offiziere - 1.272 Mann



20. Division General Graf von Wrede (Generalstab: Oberst von Comeau)

1. Brigade Generalmajor von Vincenti (später Generalmajor Minucci)
2. Leichtes Infanteriebataillon (Major Treuberg)    21 Offiziere - 710 Mann
2. Linieninfanterie-Regiment Kronprinz (Oberst Graf Spaur)    41 Offiziere - 1.513 Mann
6. Linieninfanterie-Regiment Herzog Wilhelm (Oberst von Deroy)    36 Offiziere - 1.528 Mann

2. Brigade Generalmajor Beckers (später Generalmajor von Vincenti)
4. Leichtes Infanteriebataillon (Major Theobald)    19 Offiziere - 732 Mann
3. Linieninfanterie-Regiment Prinz Carl (Oberst Graf Waldkirch)    37 Offiziere - 1.508 Mann
7. Linieninfanterie-Regiment Löwenstein-Werthheim (Oberst Maillot de la Treille)    37 Offiziere - 1.481 Mann

11. Linieninfanterie-Regiment Kinkel (Oberst Graf Dallwigk)    39 Offiziere - 1.528 Mann



Both Divisions also had cavalry and artillery, I could not find the exact numbers though. However, all in all 33.000 men as you said - after years of war, let's not forget this!


However the infantry regiments went to Russia with one batallion out of two only, the other one was kept in Bavaria. That means that more then 20.000 additional men of the professional line infantry were stationed in Bavaria to be able to defend the homeland against a possible Austrian attack.




Earlier in 1809 the Bavarian army consisted out of the following troops:

    13 Linien-Infanterie-Regimentern
    12 Reserve-Bataillons
    7 leichten Infanterie-Bataillons
    2 freiwilligen Jäger-Bataillons zu Fuß
    1 freiwilligen Jäger-Corps zu Pferd
    2 Dragoner-Regimenter
    4 Chevauxlegers-Regimenter
    20 Batterien Artillerie.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summing up to about 55.000-60.000 professional soldiers

+ The Royal Guards with about 3000 men, both cavalry and infantry
+ The Gendarmerie with about 2000 men, both cavalry and infantry
+ Professional Mountain-Riflemen (Gebirgsschützen, about 7000 men).
+ The National Militia (Every man up to 40)

Bavaria also was much more advanced in the cultural and technical sector then Austria or Russia, the Electorate and later Kingdom of Bavaria was very very modern and the FIRST ONE to have cartographed a full detailed map of itself.



So, to end it: As I said, Bavaria was much stronger then most people know. The German States had the most citizens in all Europe. If they were united in one state they would have easily been the major power in the world.

And only 4,000 made it back from Russia. They did form another army, but that one sucked and got rekt. I couldn't find any troop numbers for that one

However let me make this clear here: Bavaria never moved more then 45.000 men into the field in ONE army during the Napoleonic Wars (at least as far as I am aware of), but the Bavarian army itself was much larger. English sources tend to use the 33k-35k (depends on the source) Bavarian soldiers that took part in Russia as if they were the whole Bavarian army - in fact, they were not. These 35k were the soldiers under direct French command, but not the whole Bavarian army. There were multiple thousands of regular soldiers in Tirol as well as in the Bavarian mainland - plus the Gebirgsschützen and other things. Only a fool would send all men far away when you  still have possible enemies - e. g. Austria - on your borders.

You're getting 30k, at most 30 & some change. I don't see where you're getting these imaginary 30 thousand standing Bavarians, all of my sources and yours say that the Bavarian army was about 30k & some change strong.

I think the "ghost" 30k you're referring to are the men raised to replenish losses of the Bavarian army. In which case yes Bavaria raised 60+ thousand men throughout the Napoleonic Wars but really the army (as a whole) never cracked the 40k limit. Plus this is all after conquests, treaties, & awesome reforms including conscription reforms that Bavaria undertook, so really at start, January 1804, you're army is about/slightly under 30k. Obviously it will grow/wane following game events. At the moment (start) your army's in the 20-30k range & can grow obv based on game events. This isn't power gaming either, it's just history.

Or you can go ahead and raise 60k or more men ignoring history, at which case don't rage when you lose men & can't replenish because you used up all your manpower. ( Remember we're only playing about 10 years Cough coughEU4 HoI4)

Same kinda goes for everyone. "Men raised" is over the whole period of the Napoleonic Wars, but "King of Bavaria and his 22 thousand bayonets" is that many at that time.

I'm fine with this. But just to make this history-wise clear, Bavaria was running on some kind of conscription-madness where they recruited tons of people although they had only 4 Million citizens. The army was in fact as large as I said, but as you said if they would have lost these 60k they would have had real problems to reinforce.
They sent only 33k to Russia (this number allready has the 1812 reinforcements counted in), but they still had troops left.
At the start of the game Bavaria still is an Electorate anyways and therefore far away from the strong Kingdom-times - but I just wanted to point out the real numbers of the Bavarian army on its peak to BabyJ ;) Doesn't mean that you would have 60k on the start, this would be false indeed.

So I've made Draft 3 of the BoP map...

I'm glad Napoleon dismantled the HRE. It's so god awful.
I mean

Seriously?

Wasn't much better even after Napoleon
(https://i.imgur.com/V25UKsm.png)
[close]



Map Draft 3
(https://i.imgur.com/BD3fxBR.png)

Changes:

-Added minor duchies, states, principalities. (Arenburg, Hesse, etc)
-Tried to make the border gore region under Saxony as best I could
-Reduced the size of Swedish Pomerania (I despise cutting up provinces)
-Gave Wurttemburg and Baden more land
-Flipped Bavarian lands to minor HRE states, gave Bavaria (as best I could) Wurzburg
-Took away Saxony's weird province
-Added Prussia's enclave (as best I could, there were a ton of free counties and cities in and around the enclave)
-All changes besides Pomerania were in HRE
[close]

All that's left to do now, notwithstanding any player complaints following the HRE completion, is for me to write up the rules and set up the main thread for game play.

There is one problem I thought of. If we are going to do 4 turns (of 3 months) per year, that means starting from January 1804, say, game end of December 1815, difference is about 12 years, so 4 x 12 is... 48 turns? I'm starting to think that's a bit too little time, considering we had weeks then month long turns in 1914. Idk, should I perhaps do 6 2-month-long turns per year until December 1815, which is about 12 (years) x 6 (turns per year) = 72? Or should we do months, considering some wars lasted mere months in the Napoleonic Wars? Idk, I need input from you all. The same goes for the map as well. I despise the HRE with a passion.

Thanks in advance.

See, taking numbers for armies due to the strength of one fieldarmy would be the same as if you scaled the modern British army down to 10.000 men because the British army had 10.000 men during the Falklands War according to Wikipedia.

And especially @Volk: Troops taking part in one campaign/one operation and the actual armysize at the time are two COMPLETLY different things. There are no "ghost"-troops, but troops in action and reserves.

what the are you on about?

O wait I see what your talking about.

I still have yet to find anything saying the Bavarian army was 60k strong at any given point. So when volk said "ghost 30k" she was referring to the random 30k soldiers you were adding to their standing army. Obviously, you dont wanna give people double their army size without being able to find anything on those extra numbers.

What I did find was that after Russia, Bavaria raised/conscripted another army (and I think that army lost every battle it was in).

If it said it in one of the links you posted let me know. Because I obviously didn't see it.

Also Wikipedia is a solid source. For everything. No matter teh topic.

Portugal's open I think.

Edit: Looking at my schedule, it looks like the game will be up Friday/Saturday. Map draft 3, unless player complaints are raised & addressed (I'm looking at you HRE), will be the map we use for the game. We also now have all the major nations filled including 2 German states so that's great. I've decided that the previously agreed upon 3-month turns will be used, with each turn being 1 season (I will post the seasons and the months on main thread in the rules). I don't think there is anything else I need to do, & I don't want to make anymore systems besides our simple battle system. However if you guys think something should be changed then say so by Friday/Saturday.

My job is going well & I get paid a decent amount, so I might buy yet another book(s) on the Nap. Wars to help. I also will add a few more great leaders for balance reasons (Nelson).

Thanks in advance for help.

Portugal was just taken earlier today  :-\ You can talk to "Nightdragger" or pick another nation...

Though I think the only one left is Sardinia?  :-\

Edit: Nightdragger is now Portugal and Lawrence has PM'd me that he wants to be Sardinia. That means every major nation now has a player for it. Woo.
I've taken a look at the starting bonus for France and besides the obvious benefits GM side that France has (Like more leeway for player decisions starting out, ie rp, reforms, actions, decisions etc) France also has, at start, a minimum +4 roll on all land battles (Provided that Napoleon is participating in the battle), and since the minimum value that the dice can give is always 1, that means France at start has a minimum roll of 5 for land combat. Some nations, like Britain, have a minimum roll of 2 but have a handicap, while some nations like Russia might have minimum roll of 0 or even -1! Obviously players will be able to reform and catch up, but starting out France has a good lead on everybody else land wise.

Although I advise him to switch to something slightly less annexable, like Etruria.

That woman in my avatar is actually Russian, I just had to drastically shrink and cut off half the picture because she's so tall. If FSE had bigger avatars this wouldn't be a problem  :'(

Edit: Still looking for a header. I'm still receiving information and PM's daily so I may do one last edit to the game map. (HRE yet again) Though I do admit, I am hesitant to waste any more time on the HRE since it'll probably just implode, get annexed by human players, or Confederation of the Rhine'd.

Here is map draft 4. McLovin kept sending more updated maps, which makes me sad considering he's the only person who sent me maps this whole time. I edited what I knew enough about to be true or whatever was acceptable for the game. 99% of the changes were to the same region of the HRE, I also flipped another province to France because I was looking at more maps and the French border didn't match up exactly. It is the province above Alsace Lorraine, bordering Hesse, Baden, and those German States.

Spoiler
(https://i.imgur.com/qbqGaaz.png)
[close]

Everything else was too insignificant, involved province cutting, etc for me to worry about. I think this is the last map draft I will do. I've wasted too much time in the HRE for non-player nations. I'll let Furrnox and the German Electorate players figure that out if they want to partition, expand, Confederation of the Rhine, etc. (Or any other European powers who might take an alt. path through history...)

Currently adding all of the game info and rules into the page. I'll also add the prologue event and PM Furrnox the beginning events I have planned for him, then I'll unlock the thread and post here to alert that the game is starting. I'll be continually researching and archiving more information as time goes on, so if you have any minor questions feel free to ask or ask another player, considering certain people might know more about certain areas.

Just a heads up, I think I said this before but I want to try to interfere as little as possible, considering we're all knowledgeable in this area (most of us anyway). Like I said, the only systems I want are battle systems, which our simple little equation fills the role of. Everything else I'll just control and note down, it won't be like 1914 with equations for every little facet. I like it better that way, that's how I ran my forum games after 1914 and it worked out better.

Thanks in advance for all help and thanks to Raddeo for making those headers. If you want still want to submit a header feel free to do so; signatures and banners would also be greatly appreciated.

In a recent turn of events his Majesty, King Frederick William III, King of Prussia would like to address the following:

- He invites the Duchy of Warsaw to sign an alliance.

Doctor, are you aware, that Duchy of Warsaw doesn't even exist in 1804? It's to be created in 1807 from lands annexed by Prussia during Partitions of Poland. So basically for now you're offering alliance to your own province.

Beside that, fact that many players immediatelly start to reform their countries somehow bothers me...

^ Yup

These unhistorical reforms are going to take ages though (at least I hope so); Prussia would never have been able to reform its military in a short-time reform starting in 1804 lol, they simply did not have the know-how. Where should the know-how come from right now? I doubt France is going to send military advisors....
Prussia also had big problems with its own administration, they were not able to do ANY reforms until they got rid of noble idiots sitting in important positions because they were nobles.

Ayy lmao some people here know less about the Napoleonic Wars then they do about WW1.... let me repeat the same thing that I've asked people to do in every BoP since the very first one: Research first - post after so we do not have to face salt and cancer waves rolling through again.

Historically that happens in 1-2 turns, because France (Furrnox) has yet to do some stuff yet that historically causes Europe to go "Yep time to war now" and there's no "Coalition" yet. (Get on that)

Edit: That's also why I gave Furrnox and Salcos (Mainly Furrnox) the Crown of Lombardy event. That was supposed to be a major event that causes people to go "right time to war" but... I think some people didn't know the significance.

Nice, I was also sure that it's 1804 (thus my didaskalia in first post). And personally I'm quite surprised that it's already a year later. I believed that we all have a lot more time before things start.

Also, last time you mentioned anything about starting date was on the page 9 of this topic and it was
Quote
There is one problem I thought of. If we are going to do 4 turns (of 3 months) per year, that means starting from January 1804, say, game end of December 1815, difference is about 12 years, so 4 x 12 is... 48 turns?
And before that on page 2
Quote
I've also decided on the first possible start date of the game, which is January of 1804.

Both times we were supposed to start in 1804 :D Personally I would vote to change a date and start in 1804 as it was to be.

I believe you've made your point about Volk. Shouldn't you be taking care of your 'personal problems' instead of criticizing others about something that you couldn't do yourself?

I forgot to ask beforehand, just a simple question to all the players. I should keep the game (and things related to it) simple right? For example, no Soundcloud, special maps, etc. Those were fun and all but distracted from the basic game.

Just wanted to ask. I personally think I should revert back to simple "run the game" like Duuring and Caz.

I would love to see some more detailed posts.
Posts that do consist out of one action only without any flag or roleplay are extremly boring in my opinion and make the gamethread look boring as well.

The Austrian Empire would like to accept all Trade Agreements(Portugal, Prussia).

We also begin to reform our military, as it is clear after the defeats in Italy changes have to be made!
Austria accepts all Trade Agreements that were offered.

^ Posts like this are not fit for a major power in my opinion, because playing like this is going to break the game the same way as it has happened before: Major powers do not really care about diplomacy and creative strategies in the game and make it unplayable for longer time.

No offense against Caz, but I just hate this playstyle because it looks like "Hey I'm Austria, I do not need to care because people can not mess with me anyways". Such playstyles have broken our games before and I would rather enjoy to NOT see it happen again.

I hate it when players add a bunch of useless information and have really long posts that don't actually do anything.

I don't remember that play style ever breaking our games before. However, I do remember over detailed posts ruining our game

Also I think you might have gotten confused by what volk actually was asking. She was talking about updates being detailed, not individual players.

I'd also vote for detailed updates, as detailed as possible. Roleplaying is what makes this game interesting. I agree with Ted, that this also applies to players, those who can't write anything more that "I accept all offers" simply ruin the game.

France was actually afk. That's why the game was ruined. That is a little different than posts like caz's. I worked pretty closely with caz in 1914 (like honestly how did people actually think Ethiopia became a tech power on their own?). He responded to almost all my pms and he posted when he needs to.

Now it's kinda funny that you of all people are talking about ruining games. Multiple times you over complicated plans have led to huge issues. Too much details kills games much faster than too little detail.

Note: I had a different response typed out but I lost connection and the post was deleted. It was better written imo.

Some type of middle ground is probably best tbh

Well, that's true. I still believe that the Emperor could at least use his flag though, but that's cosmetic  ::)  ;)

But seriously, I do not see how complicated plans ruin BoPs. Complicated stuff makes it interesting, having "Major Power X declares war on Miner Power Y and sends 10.000.000 men" instead makes it boring and ruins the game for the minor nations because the big one can ruin your whole setup with one poor sentence.




However, let's just keep our mouths shut about the matter on this point because we are here to play the game. I fear that my comments here could get a saltwave rollin' and that would really destroy the game.  :-X

Just a thing before you all start arguing again. Remember, this is still Turn 1. The point of the start is to make mistakes now & try different things (flags, formats, etc) so you can do better later. Don't be so hard on each other, just fix mistakes & errors then move on.  ;)

Post by: Volk on September 21, 2016, 02:06:39 am
I've updated the diplomacy sheet. I've also made it so any nation that trades with France automatically trades with France's AI client states. This rule also applies to embargoes, non-aggression pacts, wars (starting wars at least), etc.

Edit: I am going to assume for simplicity's sake that if you are not trading with a nation then you are embargoing them.

Edit Edit: I have updated the diplomacy sheet. I advise you to check it regularly to make sure it is up to date. I will update it daily. To find your country's relations, just find your nation on the left side and go down the list of nations to see what specific relations you have with each nation.

Triple Edit: I've also figured out how to use the "Save Draft" mechanic that is on this Forum. I will create the update as a draft and continuously update and edit it until it is ready for publish following general player "Go Ahead".

Quadruple Edit Oh My: I've also decided that (although rare), major nation modifiers will be dynamic. For example if Prussia (this is just an extreme example) were to focus 100% on its expansion and training of its navy, then Prussia might get a +1 bonus to Naval combat if I deem it worthy of the bonus. These bonuses/changes will be extremely rare though, and will only be granted in the most extreme of cases or most specific circumstances.

He also surrendered half the Swedish navy without battle in the siege of Sveaborg (1808) and was considered a traitor after that..

Then again that wasn't a battle and he did win Sweden the largest naval battle in Swedish history..

So I guess +1?

Just a small question. How should I convey the update? In 1914 the GM was kind of like the world press, while in Enlightenment the writers were kind of like Medieval chroniclers who described battles and whatnot as "acts of God" etc. Should I just be simple and "this is what has happened, is happening, what looks like is happening, and what looks like might happen" or try to spin the update a certain way (like write it as if the game already happened and these are just chapters in a history book or something or the update is some American Boston or New York newspaper talking about "those Europeans")?

I'm "done" with the update as it stands right now, though clearly not everyone has moved or finished moving yet so I'm technically not done. If you all can't really think of anything then I'll just publish as just a normal update.

So can we all now start demanding additional bonuses because some of our historical commanders have won some battles? If we're already taking about navy, Fyodor Ushakov have never lost a battle and never even lost any ship for example.

Concerning style of an update, I believe it's totally up to you. What I would disilke would be this "american newspaper" style, in which mightiest rulers of the world would be called "those europeans". But I believe that I've recently read some articles from English press from this period, and they were quite nice. A lot of "Their Majesties", etc. Anyway, surprise us with something nice ;)

i never "demanded" anything I asked nicely :P. But anyways I think one of the reasons that volk was more willing to give me a bonus was because of Swedens lack of bonuses and close great power status. Like France has so many good generals, but obviously you won't give all of them bonuses. Also be won the biggest naval battle in Baltic Sea history. Get rekt Russia (I'm referring to his win over Russia not you, plz no take wrong way)

Technical question - why do all battles of this turn have -1 modifier? I believe it's season modifier, but winter only affects land battle, not sea ones.

And what is correct battle equation? In game rules you, Volk, have stated that it's
D10 Roll +/- General +/- Nation Modifier +/- Season +/- Season = Total Roll
But it doesn't make any sense seeing, that in all battles two last elements were different, so they cannot be the same season modifier. Shouldn't the last one be Doctrine modifier?

It is indeed the doctrine modifier, I don't know why it says Season twice. Small change, have fixed. Apologies for confusion.

Edit: Just another thought. Should I change the Dice value from a D10 to a D30? When I was doing the naval battles and when I simulated other battles, I noticed that it was a bit hard to get a definitive and clear victor because the numbers are so low or so close together. Making it a D30 would allow more values in between and make more battles actually significant.

It would effectively triple the amount of possible casualties though.

As we're already talking about dices and battle rules. I want to bring here something you've explained to me in PW, as it still seems to me strange I'd like others to express their opinions.
According to your equation, result of dice roll shows percent of troops player loses after battle. And that's fine. But it means, that if one player uses, for example 100k troops, while the other only 10k and they both get, lets say, 15 on the dice, then first player looses 15k men, while the other only 1,5k. It means, that having more troops is disadvantage in the battle, as you may lose much more units in single battle. And, a bit hypothetically of course, it would be wiser to send 1 man to the battle and keep 99 999 men as reserve for next battles, than to use whole 100k, as this one man will kill the same amount of enemies as would 100k.
Wouldn't it me more realistic, if result of the roll showed how many of your men achieved to kill one of the enemies? Then player with 100k would kill 15k of enemy men, and player with 10k would kill 1,5k. Equation would be of course changed a bit then, to allow situations where army kills more men that it has itself. Smaller army may still win the battle and force the enemy to fall back and slower their movements by having larger result of dice roll, but even then it would be much less probable to totally destroy bigger army (yet, historically correct, it would still be possible with series of lucky rolls in following battles). What do you guys think about such idea?

Post by: Volk on September 25, 2016, 06:36:06 pm
 ??? You lost me after 100k.

If the concern is "Why send large armies if 1 man can theoretically kill 30% of their army?"

First of all that's power gaming straight & simple so I wouldn't allow it.

Secondly, if the difference in men is abysmally great or the battle is not started by the smaller force, let's say 30 thousand frenchies pounce upon a force of 4 thousand Prussians, the Prussian force could outright surrender if no option besides annihilation is available.

Furthermore, like we discussed and I think I also explained to another person who asked, theoretically a smaller force could win/ simply not lose against a larger force, say 8 thousand Russian rearguard vs 30 thousand Frenchmen. Theoretically the Russians could win/not lose yes, but they would probably be damaged so severely that, if forced into battle again, they would be annihilated or surrender immediately. It's all strategy; either fight for a long time or win once but be forced to surrender that army right after, etc.

Edit: I realise where you went wrong. You read my equation wrong. Your dice roll is the damage you inflicted upon the enemy, not the damage you take as you interpreted it.

I really think Napoleon should be given a better modfier as well then. Wellington said Napoleon on the battlefield was worth forty thousand men, so let's give Napoleon something better then his current bonus. +9 or +10 would be legit according to the old bonus/dice ratio.
Over all every bonus should be raised due to the new D30 in my opinion.

Volk, is 100k wrong? Would it be better to calculate 17% of 32572 men just to make it realistic? :D It was an example, not quote from historical book. It was to make it simple, not to make it realistic.
So let's talk in the language of math, it's more universal.
me_after_battle = me_before_battle - (enemy_roll * me_before_battle)
That's current equation as far as I know, right? What I propose is
me_after_battle = me_before_battle - (enemy_roll * enemy_before_battle)
Do you see it now? In your second example, why shouldn't Frenchies send only about 4 or 8 thousand into battle? Of course beside argument of "they don't know how many enemies there is", which is weak, for I can always write in orders, that I want to use in battle only as many men as enemy has. By using only 4k result of battle would be exactly the same, but they would lose almost 10 times less men. Of course, I don't take into consideration option of you, as GM, introducing deus ex machina to magically change the fate of battle. I'm talking about math only, so I assume that battle do take place, that no magical events happen, that it's normal typical battle. I do understand, that even with current equation bigger force may win after suffering significant loses. But I still do not understand why would one indeed use big army to suffer such loses, if he could order most of troops to stand just few metres from the field and survive without any influence on the result of battle.

Changed dice value to a D-30. That should make things more pitched.

I really think Napoleon should be given a better modfier as well then. Wellington said Napoleon on the battlefield was worth forty thousand men, so let's give Napoleon something better then his current bonus. +9 or +10 would be legit according to the old bonus/dice ratio.
Over all every bonus should be raised due to the new D30 in my opinion.
I did triple the D-10 to a D-30. For balance I could just triple everything else as well. IE Napoleon = +9, Doctrine = +3, etc.
pls do

So Napoleon would automaticaly kill 12% of every army? Sick idea for me, I vote against. If I were you I would rather change addition to multiplying to balance bonuses. Equation would be then
result = roll * (1 +  bonuses)
and give 0.3 to Napoleon, 0.1 to doctrine, etc. Then, if he rolls 30 so the battle goes especially well, he would indeed kill additional 12%. But if he rolls 1 and the battle goes like a shit, he would kill almost no additional units. That's what I would consider to do if I were you. But even then I believe these bonuses would be too huge. 12% can easily win any war.

??? But 3 x 3 = 9 not 12? Honestly Raddeo, your math isn't making sense to me in numerous sections. It looks like you're trying to find the % of damage an army receives instead of the % of damage an army gives? It feels like it's making something simple into something overly complicated.

Are you sure you understood my equation right? My equation is to find how much damage (in %) that side deals to the other. So if it's Roll of 10 + Kutuzov + Fighting in Russia + Summer + Frederick's Tactics, that means the equation is (10 + 6 + 1 + 0 + 0) which is 17, which means you roll a 17, and damage 17% of the enemy army. Then let's say America rolls a 1 with no good modifiers, that means they have a critical failure and only barely damage 1% of Kutuzov's army. In purely battle terms, that means 17% of America's troops are casualties and only 1% of yours are casualties. In game terms, it means Kutuzov's forces won a major victory, and that that particular American Army basically implodes following that disastrous battle, with the remnants fleeing, surrendering, being killed, or going missing.

Going deeper though, let's say the America player tried to Power Game and only sent 10k vs your, let's say, 60k. Because the battle was not only a critical failure for that American Army, but because there is such a massive gap between the forces, I could make it so that "battle was total disaster, almost 1/5th of army was killed in combat, rest were hunted down by Russia's pursuing Hussars and Cossacks. Remaining men were captured or are missing in action. Russian casualties were basically insignificant. Army is annihilated." And then going even deeper, that one battle might effectively ruin the America player's plans or their whole overarching strategy (in this hypothetical situation).

I think my equation is fine. I don't see the need to over complicate it or start adding multipliers and dividers into it. If you really want to change it, give it some turns and battles and we'll talk about it then; however, I think you should review your equation and simulate it before trying to change mine.

Last thing I want is to argue with you on this matter, but I'm mathematician, my math is probably fine ;) And it's the only reason why I've proposed my versions - for math should always make sense and be perfectly logical. I'm afraid your equations aren't.
Napoleon always uses Napoleonic Tactics. So 3*3 + 1*3 = 12. Much magic.

And I do understand your equation, really, I do.
D30 Roll +/- General +/- Nation Modifier +/- Season +/- Doctrine = Total Roll
After changes proposed by you, fighting as Napoleon and having roll of 1
1 + 9 (Napoleon) + 0 (no bonus for France I believe) + 0 + 3 (Napoleonic Doctrine) = 13
Even though battle was total disaster, roll was worst possible, soldiers were imbeciles and reserves of powder were so poor, that they had to use baguettes in fight, Napoleon kills 13% of any army he encounter. Even starting battle against Napoleon means, that 13% of your army will be destroyed. No matter what you do. No matter how many men he has. No matter anything. Don't even try to attack, for after few battles Napoleon will destroy even the greatest army with power of his beautiful face only. And to talk about others also, not only Napoleon, Russian winter with Kutuzow also won't let anyone win any battle. 10% of any army will be killed in every battle. Fight against forces 10 times weaker than yours and you'll still lose 10% because of awesomeness of Kutuzow.
With my proposition
D30 Roll * (1 + General + Nation + Season + Doctrine) = Total Roll
With D30 Roll of 1 we have
1 * (1 + 0.3 + 0 + 0 + 0.1) = 1*1.4 = 1.4
Battle was a disaster, even Napoleon cannot save it, he kills only 1,4% of enemies.
With D30 Roll of 30 we have
30 * (1 + 0.3 + 0 + 0 + 0.1) = 30*1.4 = 42
Battle was a great success and thanks to his amazing skills Napoleon achieved to kill 12% more enemies.
Now starting battle against Napoleon means that at least 1.4% of your army will be destroyed, but you have to be aware, that in worst case scenario his skills will allow him to destroy almost half of your forces. Do attack, but do it with caution.
That's concerning the first equation.
Concerning the second equation - in fact it's your equation that find damage army receives. For it's percent of soldiers that will be killed. 
me_after_battle = me_before_battle - (enemy_roll * me_before_battle)
That's your equation (or at least you claimed so in PW). Percent is multiplicated by army that receives damage. So it's damage received, even though bonuses are from side that deals damage. That's how math works. Army A rolls for damage received by army B. It's percent of soldiers that receive damage (roll is 15, so 15% of B's army is killed, so army B receives damage of 15%). In equation proposed by me
me_after_battle = me_before_battle - (enemy_roll * enemy_before_battle)
roll is damage dealt by an army. Army A rolls for damage given to army B (roll is 15, so 15% of A's soldiers achieved to kill one enemy, so army A gives damage of 15%).

Anyway, I wanted to ask other players to give their opinion, not start argument with you. That wasn't really my aim, so, to avoid further arguments, unless you prove me wrong or other player ask for explanation, I won't continue to explain my ideas. It was a proposition, not an attempt to force you to do anything. So if neither players nor you are interested in it, I won't try to convince you any further, as I really don't want to try to force you to anything ;)

Btw. in your hypothetical situation any equation doesn't even matter, for after lost of 17% of men you destroy whole army. And all my propositions are about situations in which both armies survives and continue campaigns after suffering loses. If every battle ends in one side being totally destroyed after losing not even 1/5 of men, then case is closed, sorry for time I took from you with this discussion, as we're discussing something that doesn't matter.

Ah I see what you did. It is kind of like the equation I made for BoP 1914. What I did not understand was how you used your Roll to determine casualties and Battle Result. I understand your "2nd equation(?)" now, as in how Roll is applied to determine casualties.
[close]

We should seriously make a math thread in the Mess Hall. The amount of math we've done just here is insane.

So I took your equation and mine and simulated both in a mock battle between 2 armies, a 60 thousand strong French army and an 80 thousand strong Russian army. I made the rolls 40 for France and 30 for Russia for simulation purposes and plugged them into both equations. Here's what I got.

Raddeo's Casualty Equation
(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi66.tinypic.com%2Fjb4xdz.png&hash=1a243bafc9157a8f378a0b4370420b6377d36a98)

R = Roll
D = Damage (as in how much damage that force dealt)
A = Army (Or Army_After_Battle)
[close]

There is obviously a significant difference between both results. Although the French Army has won by a considerable margin, the army was worse off in Raddeo's equation than in mine. Which would make sense in Raddeo's equation, as he calculates how many of your men killed somebody. However, it does make the battle much more pyrhic for France, as Raddeo's equation favors those with larger armies. I plugged the same numbers into my equation and got the above result.

I decided to test Raddeo's equation with the battle I devised my equation from: the battle of Austerlitz. I devised my equation when I was researching the game, and used the Battle of Austerlitz, Borodino, and Wagram as examples, but Austerlitz is my favorite so I used that one.

First I demonstrate how I devised my equation from scratch. I knew what France and the allies (for simplicity's sake I simply called them Russia) started with, and I knew the casualties of the battle for both sides. So I had to connect in some way the starting army to it's casualties.
Austerlitz Equation
(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi65.tinypic.com%2Fnew2tl.png&hash=d18708485a7074bdfe5adbbaeacd61a2b8dc5c79)

I didn't bother multiplying X by the population, which is algebraically what you're supposed to do, since the outcome would be the same. I did, however, multiply X by the army population in my notebook when I was first developing the game.

D = Damage that army dealt. I knew that the French Army inflicted 36 thousand casualties on the Russians, and the Russians only dealt 9000 casualties to the French. So I have to find a relationship or connection between the two.

I divided the part by the whole and found that that the "Russians" lost 42% of their army, while the French lost only 13% of their army. Now, how could I simulate this in a game sense? I could try a system like BoP 1914, but that was for a different type of warfare and I had used a D-100 for that system. So how could I make it so the France player, or any other player for that matter, could damage 43% of the enemy army? That's when I developed my other equation, the Roll + General etc etc  = Total Roll equation. Then I could just take the Total Roll and convert it into "Damage". IE "France dealt 43% damage to Russia at the Battle of Austerlitz, and Russia dealt 13% damage to France at the Battle of Austerlitz."

My thought process was to make it a D-40 and have minor modifiers to allow people (France) to reach that magic 43%. (I chose 43% because it was the highest % of casualties for an army I've found in a major battle. Borodino both sides lost around 20% of their armies, etc. Waterloo France lost 36% roughly of their army to combat, many more missing/fled, while Allies lost roughly 16% of their armies from combat, with many more missing/fled.

I also contemplated a D-50 but I thought it would be too high and give an unfair advantage to France and the Great Powers in general since they'd have the only positive modifiers in the game (that was my thought process at the time.) I decided on a D-10, however it was just temporary until I could simulate more. If it worked out well, or if I simply had to for example multiply the entire Total Roll by some number like I did in BoP 1914 to get casualties I would've just done that. However, D-10 was not to my liking so I switched it back to my original pick of D-30 and here we are now.
[close]

Now that we know the %'s of the armies that were casualties (killed wounded captured), we theoretically know the rolls of both sides. Since we now know the rolls of both sides, I plugged the rolls into both our equations to see what our equations have to say about the Battle of Austerlitz.

Raddeo's Equation Simulating the battle of Austerlitz as a BoP Battle

2 things are made clear. One is that my equation is more accurate towards history, however that is a given and biased considering this battle is what I devised my equation on, so I'm basically checking my work.

The second thing made clear is that Raddeo's equation favors larger armies, and that's perfectly fine. However, as Napoleon, other French Generals, allied generals, and Russian Generals fighting against the Persians and Turks in the same time period have shown, it's that larger armies don't always necessarily triumph or necessarily do well against smaller ones, especially in this time period. For examples, the Battle of Battle of Schöngrabern aka Bagration Clutch Master, Battle of Auerstadt aka Davout Clutch Master, etc etc. In the Russo Persian War, the Russian Army in the theatre never grew past 10 thousand men yet did exceptionally well against the Persian Armies, with one battle resulting in 2000 Russians stomping 30,000 Persians (it was a surprise night attack, but still, look at the casualties). Putting too much advantage into large armies effectively makes the amazing battles of Austerlitz, Jena-Auerstadt, etc actually impossible. Which would be a tragedy; because of these awesome battles and miraculous victories by all nations in this time period people like us are so fascinated by it that we spend hours creating, debating, playing and arguing a game to simulate this time period. It might look like it's just to make France OP, in particular Napoleon, but really every nation had some OP-ness.  :-[

I do like your previous equation a bit though. The Total Roll finding one. Although if I had to use it I might change it slightly because it would effectively nerf all the generals with modifiers attached to them.

I swear some threads should be made for different subjects. Covering Math and History and whatnot. Hell, you could make an entire section devoted to helping people get through classes in College and whatnot just with the amount of information that passes through the forum on a daily basis.

Also remember, the game isn't just battles and casualties. Like what was shown in Turn 1's naval skirmishes, battles will happen sure, but the strategies and plans that you give me for what to do in the many scenarios a battle might create affect equally, if not more, the outcomes of said battles. If you say "if we get attacked fight, but pull away to safety at the soonest possible chance. I just want to test the enemy strength" that might influence the result, while "get stuck in, if we are engaged fight to the death, if we fall upon them never stop pursuing" might result in you losing the first battle, but because of your plans you maybe attack twice, three times, etc in the same turn.

TL:DR - One equation gives larger armies an advantage. This time period proves that larger army /=/ advantage. May edit equation(s) either way depending on input.

By the message I've received from you, Volk, I believe that I'm allowed (or even encouraged) to continue my little mathematical-historical lecture here. You are not aware what kind of demon you've awaken by encouraging me to speak there :D

Are you aware, that your example with Battle of Austerlitz is totally wrong? It is wrong not because you've based your equation on this battle - it's wrong, for you use your own equation to calculate rolls of both sides, and then you claim that they don't fit into my equation. You start with your equation, then calculate roll out of it, and then once more put this roll into the same equation. No matter what battle you take, it will seem correct, for you calulate totally nothing. Your whole calculations can be shortened to 1=1, so they are true no matter what strengths and loses you put at the beginning, no matter what you do. You basically use your own equation to prove that it's correct. So whole your proof is based on the assumption, that it's correct. You assume that your equation is correct, and then you use this assumption to prove that it's correct. That's something that cannot be done in math, it's middle school level of mathematics. Below I present you mathematical proof, that your calculations are wrong.
Spoiler
I'm using here following symbols:
A - strenght of one army before the battle
B- strenght of second army before the battle
x_A - roll of army A
x_B - roll of army B
A' - strenght of army A after the battle
B' - strenght of army B after the battle
A' = A - (A * x_b)              that's your basic equation to calculate number of troops after the battle
A - A' = A * x_b                just some transfomations
x_b = A/A - A'/A               that's the very equation that gave you rolls of 42 and 13 for the battle of Austerlitz
now let's place it back in your original equation (so we'll do what you've done to "calculate" loses of both sides and "prove" your equation to be correct)
A' = A - (A * x_b)             we start with basic equation of course and put there calculated x_b
A' = A - (A * (A/A - A'/A))
A' = A - (A - A')                we've multiplied the inner bracket
A' = A - A + A'                 we're almost there
A' = A'                             no matter what numbers we put in your logic, result is always A' = A', so it's correct no matter of used numbers. Thus you've proved nothing.
[close]

But I've done something else, about what I've not thought before. I've indeed simulated 100 000 battles using our both equations, input data from battle of Austerlitz and pseudo-random generator to simulate D30 rolls. Then I've calculated avarage result of the battle using both equations. Below I present the results of this simulation
Spoiler
Firstly I've simulated it using D30 only, without any additional bonuses
France by Volk: 56293
Russia by Volk: 72495
France by Raddeo: 53637
Russia by Raddeo: 74311
France by History: 58000
Russia by History: 49400

How we can see, none of our equations can simulate results of this battle.

Secondly, I've added proposed bonuses - with addition for your equation, and multiplying for mine. I've assumed that it's summer, leaders are Bonaparte and Alexander, battle takes place outside Russia and only France uses new tactics. So to sum up, +12 for France and - 9 for Russia in your equation, and *1.4 for France and *0.7 for Russia in mine. Here are the results.
France by Volk: 67041
Russia by Volk: 60892
France by Raddeo: 57713
Russia by Raddeo: 70417
France by History: 58000
Russia by History: 49400

My equation achieved to quite well calculate loses of French side, but failed to calulate loses of bigger Russian army. Your equation gave almost no loses to France (due to huge negative "bonus" for Russia), but achieved to simulate overall proportion of troops after the battle.

But to gain better view at the real ability of equations to simulate battle I've performer several additional tests, this time only in the second version, using all bonuses.

Battle of Leipzig
France by Volk: 199603
Coalition by Volk: 271942
France by Raddeo: 172817
Coalition by Raddeo: 327569
France by History: 167000
Coalition by History: 326000

My equation almost perfectly calculated forces after the battle. Yours missed a bit more and gave better results to the weaker side. I gave bonuses for Napoleon and Tactics to France, and reduced roll for Coalition for Russians outside Russia and for Alexander, but gave them +1 (according to old notation) for Schwazenberg and austrian units (to make them a little stronger than clear russian army).

Battle of Jena-Auerstedt
France by Volk: 57253
Prussia by Volk: 89445
France by Raddeo: 48599
Prussia by Raddeo: 105793
France by History: 60170
Prussia by History: 82500

This time your equation achieved to better simulate the battle, results after battle are quite close to real outcome. My equation created bigger gap between fighting armies.

Battle of Landshut
Austria by Volk: 30989
France by Volk: 55351
Austria by Raddeo: 21253
France by Raddeo: 69046
Austria by History: 26500
France by History: 74000

My equation was much closer to the historical results, as it was battle won by stronger force which is always prefered by my equation.

Finally, battle of Waterloo
France by Volk: 54259
UK by Volk: 86498
France by Raddeo: 49642
UK by Raddeo: 102676
France by History: 32000
UK by History: 94000

This time, both our results have missed a bit. But mine gave bigger advantage to winning side, while your helped losing one.
[close]

So as we can clearly see - it's not possible to correctly calculate results of every battle (or even just major battles) with such simple equations. Results of battle depends on multiple factors - used tactics, generals, technology, weather, terrain, condition of troops, and many, many more. If you wish Volk, I could try to mathematically create such equation basing it on multiple historical battles, but job of GM to balance the factions then would be indeed terrible. For now, all those factors are simulated by D30 roll. Differently, amount of troops is not random, so it should be in logical way included into the mechanics. So as we cannot simulate result of battle with our equations, we shouldn't try to argue which equation can do it better. So should argue about which is more logical. And it is not logical to punish player for having bigger army (as your equation do). Historically bigger army was always advantage. But other factors may also change the result of battle. Russians won battles against Persians because they had better technology, better tactics, better trained troops, not because they used fewer troops. Using more troops would allow them to win these battles even easier. And according to your equation having bigger army is disadvantage what is irrational. If you want to realistically simulate the battles you should work a bit more on the bonuses for technology, tactics and generals. But that may easily destroy the balance of the game.

Your whole calculations can be shortened to 1=1, so they are true no matter what strengths and loses you put at the beginning, no matter what you do. You basically use your own equation to prove that it's correct. So whole your proof is based on the assumption, that it's correct. You assume that your equation is correct, and then you use this assumption to prove that it's correct. That's something that cannot be done in math, it's middle school level of mathematics. Below I present you mathematical proof, that your calculations are wrong.
Spoiler
I'm using here following symbols:
A - strenght of one army before the battle
B- strenght of second army before the battle
x_A - roll of army A
x_B - roll of army B
A' - strenght of army A after the battle
B' - strenght of army B after the battle
A' = A - (A * x_b)              that's your basic equation to calculate number of troops after the battle
A - A' = A * x_b                just some transfomations
x_b = A/A - A'/A               that's the very equation that gave you rolls of 42 and 13 for the battle of Austerlitz
now let's place it back in your original equation (so we'll do what you've done to "calculate" loses of both sides and "prove" your equation to be correct)
A' = A - (A * x_b)             we start with basic equation of course and put there calculated x_b
A' = A - (A * (A/A - A'/A))
A' = A - (A - A')                we've multiplied the inner bracket
A' = A - A + A'                 we're almost there
A' = A'                             no matter what numbers we put in your logic, result is always A' = A', so it's correct no matter of used numbers. Thus you've proved nothing.

But I've done something else, about what I've not thought before. I've indeed simulated 100 000 battles using our both equations, input data from battle of Austerlitz and pseudo-random generator to simulate D30 rolls. Then I've calculated avarage result of the battle using both equations. Below I present the results of this simulation
Spoiler
Firstly I've simulated it using D30 only, without any additional bonuses
France by Volk: 56293
Russia by Volk: 72495
France by Raddeo: 53637
Russia by Raddeo: 74311
France by History: 58000
Russia by History: 49400

How we can see, none of our equations can simulate results of this battle.

Secondly, I've added proposed bonuses - with addition for your equation, and multiplying for mine. I've assumed that it's summer, leaders are Bonaparte and Alexander, battle takes place outside Russia and only France uses new tactics. So to sum up, +12 for France and - 9 for Russia in your equation, and *1.4 for France and *0.7 for Russia in mine. Here are the results.
France by Volk: 67041
Russia by Volk: 60892
France by Raddeo: 57713
Russia by Raddeo: 70417
France by History: 58000
Russia by History: 49400

My equation achieved to quite well calculate loses of French side, but failed to calulate loses of bigger Russian army. Your equation gave almost no loses to France (due to huge negative "bonus" for Russia), but achieved to simulate overall proportion of troops after the battle.

But to gain better view at the real ability of equations to simulate battle I've performer several additional tests, this time only in the second version, using all bonuses.

Battle of Leipzig
France by Volk: 199603
Coalition by Volk: 271942
France by Raddeo: 172817
Coalition by Raddeo: 327569
France by History: 167000
Coalition by History: 326000

My equation almost perfectly calculated forces after the battle. Yours missed a bit more and gave better results to the weaker side. I gave bonuses for Napoleon and Tactics to France, and reduced roll for Coalition for Russians outside Russia and for Alexander, but gave them +1 (according to old notation) for Schwazenberg and austrian units (to make them a little stronger than clear russian army).

Battle of Jena-Auerstedt
France by Volk: 57253
Prussia by Volk: 89445
France by Raddeo: 48599
Prussia by Raddeo: 105793
France by History: 60170
Prussia by History: 82500

This time your equation achieved to better simulate the battle, results after battle are quite close to real outcome. My equation created bigger gap between fighting armies.

Battle of Landshut
Austria by Volk: 30989
France by Volk: 55351
Austria by Raddeo: 21253
France by Raddeo: 69046
Austria by History: 26500
France by History: 74000

My equation was much closer to the historical results, as it was battle won by stronger force which is always prefered by my equation.

Finally, battle of Waterloo
France by Volk: 54259
UK by Volk: 86498
France by Raddeo: 49642
UK by Raddeo: 102676
France by History: 32000
UK by History: 94000

This time, both our results have missed a bit. But mine gave bigger advantage to winning side, while your helped losing one.
[close]

So as we can clearly see - it's not possible to correctly calculate results of every battle (or even just major battles) with such simple equations. Results of battle depends on multiple factors - used tactics, generals, technology, weather, terrain, condition of troops, and many, many more. If you wish Volk, I could try to mathematically create such equation basing it on multiple historical battles, but job of GM to balance the factions then would be indeed terrible. For now, all those factors are simulated by D30 roll. Differently, amount of troops is not random, so it should be in logical way included into the mechanics. So as we cannot simulate result of battle with our equations, we shouldn't try to argue which equation can do it better. So should argue about which is more logical. And it is not logical to punish player for having bigger army (as your equation do). Historically bigger army was always advantage. But other factors may also change the result of battle. Russians won battles against Persians because they had better technology, better tactics, better trained troops, not because they used fewer troops. Using more troops would allow them to win these battles even easier. And according to your equation having bigger army is disadvantage what is irrational. If you want to realistically simulate the battles you should work a bit more on the bonuses for technology, tactics and generals. But that may easily destroy the balance of the game.

You should add a modifier for a larger army facing a smaller army.

Jesus, you're starting to be boring. Wanna talk about lack of RP? So firstly, let's start with fact, that, despite what you may believe, you don't know everything. There are talks, pacts, plans, gifts and discussions of which you may not be aware and in which you cannot take part. Huge part of RP takes place there. Especially in game placed in times of Napoleonic Wars, in which factions used to switch side in a blink of an eye. I understand, that vision of facing war against almost all major faction in game may be terryfing to you, but please, stop trying to change the fates of game with your cries. You had a chance to change them in RP way, and you declined to do so. Secondly, if you want to talk about RP, how come, that King Gustav Adolf, ruler of one of the oldest monarchies in Europe, somehow became an ally of Buonaparte, who was rather destroying the old order, instead of supporting it? In next update Duke of Enghien will be probably executed. Will you RP then and declare war on France? If so, I can immediatelly sign peace treaty with you. It's a game, not history lesson. Our decisions may be different from historical ones (as yours were) and you have to deal with it.

Beside that, can you please quote at least one your (and Furrnox's) post from the main topic in which any RP can be noticed? For all I can see is "I propose trade agreement" and "I accept trade agreement". Not even one historical character, not even one historical allusion, not even one historical situation. Much RP.

It seems a caught a big one today boys

Says it's a game, writes essays on math equations.

Firstly, I'm not scared of any major power. That should be obvious considering I allied France, knowing what I was getting into. Secondly, Gustav stayed neutral, but admired Napoleon. I tried to stay neural, multiple times. Initially I was trading with almost all the major coalition members, but then you guys broke your trade agreements with me and I think UK actually broke diplomatic relations. So why would I want to ally them? France has always been a friend of Sweden, so no I do not think it is impossible for Sweden to ally France. Also you asked me to ally with you after Britain attacked me? Like Wut. Logic please? And the duke execution won't happen. If you read the update (I'm assuming you didn't, hence why you didn't react to Briatians attack on you) then you would know that he was sentenced to life in prison. If he was to be executed, then yes I would probably break my alliance with France.

And yes I know a lot of behind the scene things happen. I have been in every BoP on this forum. So I know about the private stuff. But that doesn't mean you just completely ignore it when another nation attacks you, private arrangements or not.

There are reasons why I don't post super detailed stuff with characters and everything. For one I see myself as a poor writer (and I actually hate writing). Two, I don't really know any historical Swedish people in the Napoleonic era. Three, I don't see any purpose in all those extra details.

Now do I expect everything to be historically accurate? No. Do I expect people to act somewhat how their countries actually would? Yes. My decisions have almost always been somewhat based on how I think my nation would react. For example, if everyone in an alliance begins embargoing you, would you join them? In my mind that would just push a nation to the other side.

And can you just say Bonaparte instead of Buonaparte?

I'm not going to respond to anything else. You should get the general idea as to what I mean. You will probably never see me write something like this again

here are some random lyrics that have nothing to do with anything:

Spoiler
I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop

I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me too
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can [x2]

Give me a sign
Take my hand, we'll be fine
Promise I won't let you down
Just know that you don't
Have to do this alone
Promise I'll never let you down

(I know I can treat you better) [x3]
Promise I'll never let you down

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlight people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlight people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'

Don't stop believin'
Hold on

Don't stop believin'

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, look

I don't know how to talk to you
I don't know how to ask you if you're okay
My friends always feel the need to tell me things
Seems like they're just happier than us these days
Yeah, these days I don't know how to talk to you
I don't know how to be there when you need me
It feels like the only time you see me
Is when you turn your head to the side and look at me differently

Yeah, and last night I think I lost my patience
Last night I got high as the expectations
Last night, I came to a realization
And I hope you can take it
I hope you can take it

I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it
No, I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it

I don't know how to talk to you
I just know I found myself getting lost with you
Lately you just make me work too hard for you
Got me on flights overseas, and I still can't get across to you

And last night I think I lost my patience
Last night I got high as the expectations
Last night, I came to a realization
And I hope you can take it
I hope you can take it

I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it
No, I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it

Years go by too fast
I can't keep track
How long did we last?
I feel bad for asking
It can't end like this
We gotta take time with this
Cock up yuh bumper, sit down pon it
Let me see if this is something I can fix
You got somebody other than me
Don't play the victim when you're with me
Free time is costing me more than it seems
Sacrificing things
And I wanna tell you my intentions
I wanna do the things that I mention
I wanna benefit from the friendship
I wanna get the late night message from you, from you
I put my hands around you
Gotta get a handle on you
Gotta get a handle on the fact that

I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it
No, I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it

Is slowly changing in me

Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness

Don't try to deny what you feel

It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
(Will you give in to me?)

It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place

Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
Don't do it, you're hurting me
Why did you have to be such a bitch

Why don't you
Why don't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch

I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones says, "Find a home."

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more

And the stains comin' from my blood tell me, "Go back home."

Antha one:

Aiyyo, ya niggaz must be outcha fuckin mind
Thinkin dog can't pull another motherfuckin rabbit out the hat
Nigga I ain't gotta check out my motherfuckin sleeves you bitch ass niggaz
Fuck is y'all niggaz...
Y'all niggaz just thinkin I'm sittin around doin nothin?
Oh my God, y'all niggaz can't be serious

[Chorus: DMX - repeat 2X]
Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?
Have that nigga in the cut, where the wood at?
Oh, them niggaz actin up?!? Where the wolves at?
You better BUST THAT if you gon pull that

[DMX]
Man, cats don't know what it's gonna be
Fuckin with a nigga like me, D-to-the-M-to-the-X
Last I heard, y'all niggaz was havin sex, with the SAME sex
I show no love, to homo thugs
Empty out, reloaded and throw more slugs
How you gonna explain fuckin a man?
Even if we squashed the beef, I ain't touchin ya hand
I don't buck with chumps, for those to been to jail
That's the cat with the Kool-Aid on his lips and pumps
I don't fuck with niggaz that think they broads
Only know how to be ONE WAY, that's the dog
I know how to get down, know how to BITE
Bark very little, but I know HOW TO FIGHT
I know how to chase a cat up in the tree
MAN, I GIVE Y'ALL NIGGAZ THE B'INESS FOR FUCKIN WIT ME, IS YOU CRAZY?!?

[Chorus]

[DMX]
Once a song, I come though, guns is drawn
BLAM BLAM, lungs are gone, sons will mourn
From dusk till dawn, nighttime belongs to the dog
On the street passed midnight, look for 'em in the morgue
Don't play with these cats cuz I ain't got nothin to say to these cats
For the mothers that really do love em, please pray for these cats
Cuz I know niggaz is hardheaded but I ain't got the patience
Don't want me havin no patience turn into more patience
More trips to ICU cuz I see you
Tryna get away with shit a real nigga wouldn't do
Where my dogs at? (RIGHT HERE) See them niggaz? (RIGHT WHERE?!?)
GET EM BOY! (RIGHT THERE) That's how we do... (AIIGHT THEN)
This is for my dogs, this is for my dogs
YO, WHERE WE AT BABY?!? (CREEPIN THROUGH THE FOG)
From then till now, don't ask me how
Know that we gon roll like them niggaz and hit every block on the job

[Chorus]

[DMX]
I get tapes doin times, stop niggaz like grapes makin wine
Five CD's with mad rhymes
Don't hit me with that positive shit, I know you lyin
You really wanna stop niggaz from dyin? Stop niggaz from tryin
I cuz I ain't really got that time to waste
and I thought I told you to get these fuckin bums out my face
Lookin atchu in your grill, I might be nice to cut
Once I split ya ass in two, you'll be twice as butt
Yeah, you right, I know ya style - PUSSY cuz I'm fuckin it
Since we all right here, you hold my dick while he suckin it
MOTHERFUCKER, don't you know you'll never come near me
Shove ya head up ya ass, have you seein shit clearly
Never heard that D be runnin, cuz D be gunnin
I beat my dick and bust off in ya eye so you can see me comin/cumin
Empty clips and shells are what I leave behind
and if they get me with the joint, they hit me with a three-to-nine

[Chorus]

[DMX talking]
WHERE THE FUCKIN HOOD AT?!? (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
NO ONES' FUCKIN WITH ME NIGGA, FO REAL (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
I AM THE HOOD, I AM THE STREETS (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
YOU BITCH ASS NIGGA (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
TAKE IT HOW YOU WANT, MOTHERFUCKER (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
I'M IN THE HOOD ALL DAY (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
I THINK I'M LIKE THE ONLY NIGGA, DOG (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
THAT CAN GO TO THE PROJECTS (SCHOOL STREET, HOME OF THE BRAVE)
BY HIS FUCKIN SELF AND BE GOOD
YEAH NIGGA, ASK NIGGAZ ON Y.O. (MY PROJECTS, Y.O.)
WHEN THE LAST TIME THEY SEEN DOG (Not too long ago baby)
MOTHERFUCKER..
DEE, WAAH, UGH... (Y'all niggaz is homeless)
KATO... (Where the hood at?)

Anotha One:

Yeah
You know what
I like the playettes
No diggity, no doubt
Play on playette, play on playette
Yo Dre, drop the verse

It's going down, fade to blackstreet
The homies got rb, collab' creations
Bump like acne, no doubt
I put it down, never slouch
As long as my credit can vouch
A dog couldn't catch me ass out
Tell me who can stop when dre makin' moves
Attracting honeys like a magnet
Giving 'em eargasms with my mellow accent
Still moving this flavor
With the homies blackstreet and teddy
The original rump shakers

Shorty get down, good lord
Baby got 'em up open all over town
Strictly biz, she don't play around
Cover much ground, got game by the pound
Getting paid is her forte
Each and every day, true player way
I can't get her out of my mind
I think about the girl all the time
East side to the west side
Pushin' phat rides, it's no surprise
She got tricks in the stash
Stacking up the cash
Fast when it comes to the gas
By no means average
She's on when she's got to have it
Baby, you're a perfect ten, I wanna get in
Can I get down, so I can win

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

She's got class and style
Street knowledge by the pound
Baby never act wild, very low key on the profile
Catchin' feelings is a no
Let me tell you how it goes
Curve's the words, spins the verbs
Lovers it curves so freak what you heard
Rollin' with the phatness
You don't even know what the half is
You gotta pay to play
Just for shorty, bang-bang, to look your way
I like the way you work it
Trumped tight all day, every day
You're blowing my mind, maybe in time
Baby, I can get you in my ride

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey oh (hey yo that girl looks good)
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey oh (play on, play on, play on)
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey oh (you're my kind of girl)
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey oh (hey yay oh)

'Cause that's my peeps and we row g
Flyin' first class from new york city to blackstreet
What you know about me, not a motherfuckin' thing
Cartier wooded frames sported by my shortie
As for me, icy gleaming pinky diamond ring
We be's the baddest clique up on the scene
Ain't you getting bored with these fake ass broads
I shows and proves, no doubt, I be taking you, so
Please excuse, if I come across rude
That's just me and that's how the playettes got to be
Stay kickin' game with a capital G
Axe the peoples on my block, I'm as real as can be
Word is bond, faking jacks never been my flavor
So, teddy, pass the word to your nigga chauncey
I be sitting in car, let's say around three thirty
Queen pen and blackstreet, it's no diggity

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

[Verse 1]
X gon' give it to ya
Fuck wait for you to get it on your own
X gon' deliver to ya
Knock knock, open up the door, it's real
Wit the non-stop, pop pop and stainless steel
Go hard getting busy wit it
But I got such a good heart
Then I'll make a motherfucker wonder if he did it
Damn right and I'll do it again
'Cause I am right so I gots to win
Break bread wit the enemy
But no matter how many cats I break bread wit
I'll break who you sending me
You motherfuckers never wanted nothing
But your life saved,
bitch that's for the light day
I'm getting down, down
Like a nigga said, "Freeze!"
But won't be the one ending up on his knees
Bitch, please
If the only thing you cats did is came out to play
Stay out my way, motherfucker

[Chorus - DMX]
First we gonna rock, then we gonna roll
Then we let it pop, don't let it go
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya

[Verse 2]
Ain't never gave nothing to me
But every time I turn around
Cats got they hands out wanting something from me
I ain't got it so you can't get it
Let's leave it at that 'cause I ain't wit it
Hit it wit full strength
I'm a jail nigga
So I face the world like it's Earl in the bullpen
You against me, me against you
Whatever, whenever
Nigga, fuck you gon' do?
I'm a wolf in sheep clothing
Only nigga that you know who can chill
Come back and get the streets open
I've been doing this for nineteen years
Niggas wanna fight me? Fight these tears
I put in work and it's all for the kids
But these cats done forgot what work is (uh-huh!)
They don't know who we be
Looking! But they don't know who they see, nigga

[Chorus - DMX]
First we gonna rock, then we gonna roll
Then we let it pop, don't let it go
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya

[Verse 3]
Aiiyo where my niggas at?!
I know I got them down in the game
Give em love and they give it back
Talk too much for too long (what?!)
Don't give up you're too strong (what?!)
A dog to bow bow hug it (yeah!)
Shout-out to niggas that done it (come on!)
And it ain't even about the dough
It's about getting down for what you stand for yo (for real)

[Chorus - DMX]
First we gonna rock, then we gonna roll
Then we let it pop, don't let it go
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya

In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying

I close my eyes
Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing

It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me it's like a dream
Let the choir sing

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Post by: BabyJesus on September 27, 2016, 01:08:53 am
Jesus, you're starting to be boring. Wanna talk about lack of RP? So firstly, let's start with fact, that, despite what you may believe, you don't know everything. There are talks, pacts, plans, gifts and discussions of which you may not be aware and in which you cannot take part. Huge part of RP takes place there. Especially in game placed in times of Napoleonic Wars, in which factions used to switch side in a blink of an eye. I understand, that vision of facing war against almost all major faction in game may be terryfing to you, but please, stop trying to change the fates of game with your cries. You had a chance to change them in RP way, and you declined to do so. Secondly, if you want to talk about RP, how come, that King Gustav Adolf, ruler of one of the oldest monarchies in Europe, somehow became an ally of Buonaparte, who was rather destroying the old order, instead of supporting it? In next update Duke of Enghien will be probably executed. Will you RP then and declare war on France? If so, I can immediatelly sign peace treaty with you. It's a game, not history lesson. Our decisions may be different from historical ones (as yours were) and you have to deal with it.
It seems a caught a big one today boys

Says it's a game, writes essays on math equations.

Firstly, I'm not scared of any major power. That should be obvious considering I allied France, knowing what I was getting into. Secondly, Gustav stayed neutral, but admired Napoleon. I tried to stay neural, multiple times. Initially I was trading with almost all the major coalition members, but then you guys broke your trade agreements with me and I think UK actually broke diplomatic relations. So why would I want to ally them? France has always been a friend of Sweden, so no I do not think it is impossible for Sweden to ally France. Also you asked me to ally with you after Britain attacked me? Like Wut. Logic please? And the duke execution won't happen. If you read the update (I'm assuming you didn't, hence why you didn't react to Briatians attack on you) then you would know that he was sentenced to life in prison. If he was to be executed, then yes I would probably break my alliance with France.

And yes I know a lot of behind the scene things happen. I have been in every BoP on this forum. So I know about the private stuff. But that doesn't mean you just completely ignore it when another nation attacks you, private arrangements or not.

There are reasons why I don't post super detailed stuff with characters and everything. For one I see myself as a poor writer (and I actually hate writing). Two, I don't really know any historical Swedish people in the Napoleonic era. Three, I don't see any purpose in all those extra details.

Now do I expect everything to be historically accurate? No. Do I expect people to act somewhat how their countries actually would? Yes. My decisions have almost always been somewhat based on how I think my nation would react. For example, if everyone in an alliance begins embargoing you, would you join them? In my mind that would just push a nation to the other side.

And can you just say Bonaparte instead of Buonaparte?

I'm not going to respond to anything else. You should get the general idea as to what I mean. You will probably never see me write something like this again

here are some random lyrics that have nothing to do with anything:

Spoiler
I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop

I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me too
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can [x2]

Give me a sign
Take my hand, we'll be fine
Promise I won't let you down
Just know that you don't
Have to do this alone
Promise I'll never let you down

(I know I can treat you better) [x3]
Promise I'll never let you down

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Here are some more:

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

and more:

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlight people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlight people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

[Instrumental interlude]

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlight people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight people

Some more

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, look

I don't know how to talk to you
I don't know how to ask you if you're okay
My friends always feel the need to tell me things
Seems like they're just happier than us these days
Yeah, these days I don't know how to talk to you
I don't know how to be there when you need me
It feels like the only time you see me
Is when you turn your head to the side and look at me differently

Yeah, and last night I think I lost my patience
Last night I got high as the expectations
Last night, I came to a realization
And I hope you can take it
I hope you can take it

I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it
No, I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it

I don't know how to talk to you
I just know I found myself getting lost with you
Lately you just make me work too hard for you
Got me on flights overseas, and I still can't get across to you

And last night I think I lost my patience
Last night I got high as the expectations
Last night, I came to a realization
And I hope you can take it
I hope you can take it

I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it
No, I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it

Years go by too fast
I can't keep track
How long did we last?
I feel bad for asking
It can't end like this
We gotta take time with this
Cock up yuh bumper, sit down pon it
Let me see if this is something I can fix
You got somebody other than me
Don't play the victim when you're with me
Free time is costing me more than it seems
Sacrificing things
And I wanna tell you my intentions
I wanna do the things that I mention
I wanna benefit from the friendship
I wanna get the late night message from you, from you
I put my hands around you
Gotta get a handle on you
Gotta get a handle on the fact that

I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it
No, I'm too good to you
I'm way too good to you
You take my love for granted
I just don't understand it

Gyal a you mi waan
Pay fi yuh visa meck yo fly out regular
Baby, cock up yuh bumper, sit down pon it
Gyal yo pum pum good and yuh fit
Mi wi give you everything weh deh in my wallet
And in my pocket
Cock up yuh bumper, sit down pon it
Gyal yo pum pum good and yuh fit
Mi wi give you everything weh deh in my wallet
And in my pocket

one more:

Can you feel that?
Ah, shit
Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
(Will you give in to me?)

Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
(Will you give in to me?)
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
(Will you give in to me?)

It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me

Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me

No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy?
Don't do it, you're hurting me
Why did you have to be such a bitch

Why don't you
Why don't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
Fuck you
I don't need this shit
You stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
How would you like to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die

Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
You mother get up come on get down with the sickness
You fucker get up come on get down with the sickness
Madness has now come over me

las one:

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
'Cause life's like this

Chill out, what you yellin' for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're talking to me one on one
But you've become

Somebody else 'round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated
And life's like this you,
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into
Honesty, you promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no

You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you are ain't where it's at you see, you're making me
Laugh out when you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know, you're not fooling anyone
When you've become

Somebody else 'round everyone else
You're watchin' your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're
Acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated
And life's like this you,

Honesty, you promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no

i lied:

Yeah
Can you feel it, baby?
I can too

Come on swing it
C-come on swing it
Come on swing it
C-come on swing it

1-2-3 - Now we come to the pay off

It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation

Yo, it's about that time
To bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme
I'ma get mine, so get yours
I wanna see sweat comin' out your pores

On the house tip is how I'm swingin' this
Strictly hip-hop boy, I ain't singin' this
Bringing this to the entire nation
Black, white, red, brown, feel the vibration

Come on, come on
Feel it, feel it
Feel the vibration

It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation

Vibrations good like Sunkist
Many wanna know who done this
Marky Mark and I'm here to move you
Rhymes will groove you and I'm here to prove to you

That we can party on the positive side
And pump positive vibes
So come along for the ride
Making you feel the rhythm is my occupation
So feel the vibration

Come on, come on
Feel it, feel it
Feel the vibration

It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation

Donnie D break it down

Donnie D's on the back up
Drug free, so put the crack up
No need for speed, I'm the anti D-R-U-G-G-I-E
My body is healthy
My rhymes make me wealthy
And the Funky Bunch helps me
To bring you a show with no intoxication
Come on feel the vibration

Yeah
Can you feel it, baby?
I can too

It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation

Now the time has come for you to get up
The rest had you fed up but yo, I won't let up
On the rhythm and rhyme that's designed to
Make your behind move to what I'm inclined to

Pure hip hop, no sell out
If you ain't in it to win it then get the hell out
I command you to dance, I wanna see motivation
Come on now feel the vibration

It's such a good vibration
Come on, come on, come on
It's such a sweet sensation

It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation

one more:

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talkin' to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette

And the message comin' from my eyes says, "Leave it alone."

Don't wanna hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it comin' back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones says, "Find a home."

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more

And the stains comin' from my blood tell me, "Go back home."

Antha one:

Aiyyo, ya niggaz must be outcha fuckin mind
Thinkin dog can't pull another motherfuckin rabbit out the hat
Nigga I ain't gotta check out my motherfuckin sleeves you bitch ass niggaz
Fuck is y'all niggaz...
Y'all niggaz just thinkin I'm sittin around doin nothin?
Oh my God, y'all niggaz can't be serious

[Chorus: DMX - repeat 2X]
Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?
Have that nigga in the cut, where the wood at?
Oh, them niggaz actin up?!? Where the wolves at?
You better BUST THAT if you gon pull that

[DMX]
Man, cats don't know what it's gonna be
Fuckin with a nigga like me, D-to-the-M-to-the-X
Last I heard, y'all niggaz was havin sex, with the SAME sex
I show no love, to homo thugs
Empty out, reloaded and throw more slugs
How you gonna explain fuckin a man?
Even if we squashed the beef, I ain't touchin ya hand
I don't buck with chumps, for those to been to jail
That's the cat with the Kool-Aid on his lips and pumps
I don't fuck with niggaz that think they broads
Only know how to be ONE WAY, that's the dog
I know how to get down, know how to BITE
Bark very little, but I know HOW TO FIGHT
I know how to chase a cat up in the tree
MAN, I GIVE Y'ALL NIGGAZ THE B'INESS FOR FUCKIN WIT ME, IS YOU CRAZY?!?

[Chorus]

[DMX]
Once a song, I come though, guns is drawn
BLAM BLAM, lungs are gone, sons will mourn
From dusk till dawn, nighttime belongs to the dog
On the street passed midnight, look for 'em in the morgue
Don't play with these cats cuz I ain't got nothin to say to these cats
For the mothers that really do love em, please pray for these cats
Cuz I know niggaz is hardheaded but I ain't got the patience
Don't want me havin no patience turn into more patience
More trips to ICU cuz I see you
Tryna get away with shit a real nigga wouldn't do
Where my dogs at? (RIGHT HERE) See them niggaz? (RIGHT WHERE?!?)
GET EM BOY! (RIGHT THERE) That's how we do... (AIIGHT THEN)
This is for my dogs, this is for my dogs
YO, WHERE WE AT BABY?!? (CREEPIN THROUGH THE FOG)
From then till now, don't ask me how
Know that we gon roll like them niggaz and hit every block on the job

[Chorus]

[DMX]
I get tapes doin times, stop niggaz like grapes makin wine
Five CD's with mad rhymes
Don't hit me with that positive shit, I know you lyin
You really wanna stop niggaz from dyin? Stop niggaz from tryin
I cuz I ain't really got that time to waste
and I thought I told you to get these fuckin bums out my face
Lookin atchu in your grill, I might be nice to cut
Once I split ya ass in two, you'll be twice as butt
Yeah, you right, I know ya style - PUSSY cuz I'm fuckin it
Since we all right here, you hold my dick while he suckin it
MOTHERFUCKER, don't you know you'll never come near me
Shove ya head up ya ass, have you seein shit clearly
Never heard that D be runnin, cuz D be gunnin
I beat my dick and bust off in ya eye so you can see me comin/cumin
Empty clips and shells are what I leave behind
and if they get me with the joint, they hit me with a three-to-nine

[Chorus]

[DMX talking]
WHERE THE FUCKIN HOOD AT?!? (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
NO ONES' FUCKIN WITH ME NIGGA, FO REAL (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
I AM THE HOOD, I AM THE STREETS (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
YOU BITCH ASS NIGGA (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
TAKE IT HOW YOU WANT, MOTHERFUCKER (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
I'M IN THE HOOD ALL DAY (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
I THINK I'M LIKE THE ONLY NIGGA, DOG (It's all good, the dog is the hood)
THAT CAN GO TO THE PROJECTS (SCHOOL STREET, HOME OF THE BRAVE)
BY HIS FUCKIN SELF AND BE GOOD
YEAH NIGGA, ASK NIGGAZ ON Y.O. (MY PROJECTS, Y.O.)
WHEN THE LAST TIME THEY SEEN DOG (Not too long ago baby)
MOTHERFUCKER..
DEE, WAAH, UGH... (Y'all niggaz is homeless)
KATO... (Where the hood at?)

Anotha One:

Yeah
You know what
I like the playettes
No diggity, no doubt
Play on playette, play on playette
Yo Dre, drop the verse

It's going down, fade to blackstreet
The homies got rb, collab' creations
Bump like acne, no doubt
I put it down, never slouch
As long as my credit can vouch
A dog couldn't catch me ass out
Tell me who can stop when dre makin' moves
Attracting honeys like a magnet
Giving 'em eargasms with my mellow accent
Still moving this flavor
With the homies blackstreet and teddy
The original rump shakers

Shorty get down, good lord
Baby got 'em up open all over town
Strictly biz, she don't play around
Cover much ground, got game by the pound
Getting paid is her forte
Each and every day, true player way
I can't get her out of my mind
I think about the girl all the time
East side to the west side
Pushin' phat rides, it's no surprise
She got tricks in the stash
Stacking up the cash
Fast when it comes to the gas
By no means average
She's on when she's got to have it
Baby, you're a perfect ten, I wanna get in
Can I get down, so I can win

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

She's got class and style
Street knowledge by the pound
Baby never act wild, very low key on the profile
Catchin' feelings is a no
Let me tell you how it goes
Curve's the words, spins the verbs
Lovers it curves so freak what you heard
Rollin' with the phatness
You don't even know what the half is
You gotta pay to play
Just for shorty, bang-bang, to look your way
I like the way you work it
Trumped tight all day, every day
You're blowing my mind, maybe in time
Baby, I can get you in my ride

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey oh (hey yo that girl looks good)
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey oh (play on, play on, play on)
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey oh (you're my kind of girl)
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey oh (hey yay oh)

'Cause that's my peeps and we row g
Flyin' first class from new york city to blackstreet
What you know about me, not a motherfuckin' thing
Cartier wooded frames sported by my shortie
As for me, icy gleaming pinky diamond ring
We be's the baddest clique up on the scene
Ain't you getting bored with these fake ass broads
I shows and proves, no doubt, I be taking you, so
Please excuse, if I come across rude
That's just me and that's how the playettes got to be
Stay kickin' game with a capital G
Axe the peoples on my block, I'm as real as can be
Word is bond, faking jacks never been my flavor
So, teddy, pass the word to your nigga chauncey
I be sitting in car, let's say around three thirty
Queen pen and blackstreet, it's no diggity

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up, bag it up

I like the way you work it
No diggity, I got to bag it up

Yeah, Come on
Jackie in full effect
Lisa in full effect
Nicky in full effect
Tomeka in full effect
Ladies in full effect
Ain't nothing goin' on but the rent
Yeah play on playette, play on playette
Play on play on, play on play on
'Cause I like it
No diggity, no doubt, yeah
Blackstreet productions
We out, we out right
We out, we out

anotha one

Arf arf
Yeah, yeah, yeah (grrrr)

Fuck what you heard

It's what you hearing (listen)
It's what you hearing (listen)

[Verse 1]
X gon' give it to ya
Fuck wait for you to get it on your own
X gon' deliver to ya
Knock knock, open up the door, it's real
Wit the non-stop, pop pop and stainless steel
Go hard getting busy wit it
But I got such a good heart
Then I'll make a motherfucker wonder if he did it
Damn right and I'll do it again
'Cause I am right so I gots to win
Break bread wit the enemy
But no matter how many cats I break bread wit
I'll break who you sending me
You motherfuckers never wanted nothing
But your life saved,
bitch that's for the light day
I'm getting down, down
Like a nigga said, "Freeze!"
But won't be the one ending up on his knees
Bitch, please
If the only thing you cats did is came out to play
Stay out my way, motherfucker

[Chorus - DMX]
First we gonna rock, then we gonna roll
Then we let it pop, don't let it go
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya

[Verse 2]
Ain't never gave nothing to me
But every time I turn around
Cats got they hands out wanting something from me
I ain't got it so you can't get it
Let's leave it at that 'cause I ain't wit it
Hit it wit full strength
I'm a jail nigga
So I face the world like it's Earl in the bullpen
You against me, me against you
Whatever, whenever
Nigga, fuck you gon' do?
I'm a wolf in sheep clothing
Only nigga that you know who can chill
Come back and get the streets open
I've been doing this for nineteen years
Niggas wanna fight me? Fight these tears
I put in work and it's all for the kids
But these cats done forgot what work is (uh-huh!)
They don't know who we be
Looking! But they don't know who they see, nigga

[Chorus - DMX]
First we gonna rock, then we gonna roll
Then we let it pop, don't let it go
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya

[Verse 3]
Aiiyo where my niggas at?!
I know I got them down in the game
Give em love and they give it back
Talk too much for too long (what?!)
Don't give up you're too strong (what?!)
A dog to bow bow hug it (yeah!)
Shout-out to niggas that done it (come on!)
And it ain't even about the dough
It's about getting down for what you stand for yo (for real)

[Chorus - DMX]
First we gonna rock, then we gonna roll
Then we let it pop, don't let it go
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya
X gon' give it to ya
He gon' give it to ya

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice
It's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying

I close my eyes
Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Like a child
You whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing

It's like a dream
No end and no beginning
You're here with me it's like a dream
Let the choir sing

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me

BabyJ's salt is perfectly valid. Britain fired upon and sunk a number of allied ships and nobody has batted an eye. What Britian has done is pretty serious.

Bingo! Where is the logic?

Surely everyone at this point should follow in the ottoman footsteps and punish the Brits in some way? Not being biased but I do seem to be the only one after publicly doing something about the incident, and Im not even relevant in the context of what happened.....

So much salt :( I think the RP is fine. BoPs are never historically correct.
BabyJ's salt is perfectly valid. Britain fired upon and sunk a number of allied ships and nobody has batted an eye. What Britian has done is pretty serious.

Nope. He overthrew the Republic by a coup and the Pope himself took part in the coronation - he is as legitimated as any other monarch.

Yes, I know of the Brumaire Coup. But still, the French monarchy had been expelled from Paris and Napoleon ruled over France unlawfully.

How comes that the Pope took part in the coronation then? After all this legitimated Napoleon's rule in the name of god. All the other monarchs who took their power as granted by god ignored it out of personal interests, nothing more. The POPE legitimated his rule as well as the population, but the other European monarchs decided to ignore that. Napoleon's coronation was bigger then anything else seen at this time, he was 100% legitimated at this point.

After all there should be a coalition against the UK instead for sinking allied and neutral ships, but hey..... let's ignore facts.

Just a minor thing...

Starting next turn any army or force that doesn't have a named leader will suffer a -3 penalty in combat. Please guys, it makes it 10x easier for me if you simply attach a name to an army, or even if a force is separating from the main army, if it's sizeable give it a leader. Even if he's -1 or just some average general who was not noteworthy in the war. When I attach names to armies GM wise it makes is infinitely easier for me to go "Kutuzov's Army attacks Davout's Army, great I know the sizes and make ups of those armies let's battle" instead of "Uh... 4th Prussian Corps, not army, vs... 12th French Division? No that's in Romania rn, which one's the one in Portugal atm? Is that the one with 2k or 40k?"

Also reread plans before you send them, I notice sometimes people put the wrong/same names. "Corps X attacks Paris while Corps X defends Marseille" etc. I usually catch it and ask for clarification if it's truly confusing, most of the time though I can figure out what you meant by comparing old movements and where forces are on my map, but still.

Please.

I've PM'd Duuring yesterday all of the errors and error messages I got while trying to make the update. I am still working on it and it is actually near completion. However, Spoilers have been bugging out a bit, which doesn't bode well for the update since... everything is in a spoiler.  :-\ I'm trying to find a work around while Duuring and the mods are looking into the problem to see if it's a minor issue or something needing fixing. Expect it today unless posting bugs out again.

Thanks for the update Volk let's hope this problem get's resolved soon.
Title: Re: BoP: Napoleonic Wars (Out-of-character Thread) [Live]
Post by: Volk on October 07, 2016, 12:47:43 am
So I tried to insert the update into a post on the game thread to post.
Here is what happened.

Check the attached files because spoilers do not seem to work anymore.

I can't update safely until this thing gets resolved. 

Edit: To explain the screenshots, the first screenshot is me after clicking Preview to see if the update will show up. FSE says that I have nothing typed even though it is clearly shown that I have the entire update typed into the box waiting to publish.

Second screenshot is me trying to save the update as a draft. FSE says that the message is empty even though it is clearly visible the entire update is right there.

Edit Edit: Like I said, I sent screens and more detailed information to duuring who is working on addressing the problem. If the problem persists we may need to set up an alternative medium to temporarily post the updates and we just keep playing on the thread. (Posting the update on a steam group and playing on FSE, etc) Duuring's working with the Forum devs on the issue, so a fix should be coming soon. Soon.

Same problem

Major Edit: So I sent BBJ a portion of the update (without detailed information regarding battles/major events of course) upon his request to look into the issue. One of the Battle spoilers in the update that I scrolled up to hide in my screenshots was a naval battle. In the text I sent to BBJ, the battle name and some words were typed. These words were formatted in the usual way I normally type: Font Times New roman, Font size 12, center, etc. He pressed Preview and got the same error that I got. However, upon deleting all of the bb code in the naval battle event spoiler, the message returned to normal and he could preview it no problem. The event obv was just normal standard fse text however it was visible.

We can now reasonably conclude, thanks to BabyJ, that the problem lies somewhere between FSE's BB code and FSE's spoilers. Perhaps some of the BB code bugs out when in spoilers or there is a conflict when BB code is inserted inside a spoiler which is already inside the main spoiler. We still don't know for sure, however it should help in figuring out what exactly the problem is. Thanks to BBJ for figuring out that crucial piece.

If you add any text besides what you pasted in and than click post/preview does anything show up then?

Yes, I tried that yesterday when I was testing the problem for Duuring. Let's say I also typed up the Summary under the Update, you know "Corsican fighting Austria with Britain, woo scary, Russia doing stuff, It's a European War wooooo". The Summary would show up once I hit Preview and Post, however the Spoiler and everything inside it would simply disappear. And if after posting I quoted the post to see if the BB code was still there, just invisible, the BB code would disappear after posting as well.

I tried it with test posts on the OOC thread and the same problem occurred during my test PM's and even in my PM to Duuring about the issue.  :-\

The issue is being resolved by Duuring and the devs, however I just wanted to bring attention to the problem in case any of you all experience it or figure out a way to work around or even fix it.

Update.

It's so ugly  :-[ Hopefully Duuring and the mods fix the issue soon so I can make my updates decent to read again. I also admit that it's not the best quality of writing I've been able to produce. I wasn't able to come up with as much creative stuff to say about events this time. The problems posting the update didn't help either.

I will be PM'ing non-event stuff separately to respective players (Like Russia and Sweden).

Sweden: Military is an honor, Small Volunteer force, Highest morale in the world
Russia: Slave soldiers, huge conscription force, low morale

I believe that place of such role-playing propaganda is rather in the game thread, not here. If you want to talk here, then please, stay true to historical facts. Military in Sweden wasn't an honour, it was a business. Son of landless peasant would receive own farm in exchange for his service, so it was just profitable to join an army. Morale was indeed guite good in Swedish forces (for soldiers wanted to win and return to their farms), but on the other hand, indelta were rather militia than real standing army, so Swedish army was terribly trained and could not be compared to real armies of any european powers. Also morale of Russians cannot be called "low". These people were one of the best drilled soldiers in Europe, thanks to brutal discipline they were like machines fighting to the very last moment. Russian generals were bad, it's true, they used obsolete tactics, had no knowledge about advanced manoeuvres, etc but the soldiers themselves were very good, well trained and with quite high morale.

Post by: Volk on October 22, 2016, 06:15:39 am

All plans past this point will be considered late

Edit: I would like to propose 2 amendments to the rules:

- Change 1 is a new rule regarding the deadline of plans. There still wouldn't be a deadline for plans, however after a certain period of time (minimum 1 week) for every day a player fails to send in their plans their plans are delayed in game by 1 week. So if a player spends 10 days before finally sending plans, the plans actually go into effect 3 weeks into the update. Etc etc. Ignore the details, just the general idea of a delayed plan implentation penalty for delaying of sending plans.
- Change 2 is regarding espionage. Not even 5 people have sent me their plans, however already I count nearly 10 acts of espionage. Should there be sort of cap or limit to espionage targets, acts, etc? Like only 1 espionage act per turn, or only 1 target of espionage per turn.

I also implore all of you to work on your communication. Not just between myself & you all, but between yourselves. I have spoken to only 3 people in the past 2 weeks regarding the BoP, & I'm not only counting being contacted about plans. From even the most mundane questions to confirmation of ideas to simple "I'll be gone these days, if my allies say so then do so" only about 3 people have contacted me at all. I notice as well that even players that are supposed to be allies & planning together aren't even on the same page sometimes, or assumptions are made. The game will progress as smoothly & quickly as you all want it to. I can't really do anything other than wait continually for plans (& oh how I still wait).

I'm tired & I can't think of an ending, so I'll just say thanks in advance. I've been working on a few side projects & side forum games for future experimentation to keep myself busy, so I also would greatly appreciate it if you all could give me insight on certain things in the future should I ever ask. Like I said, thanks in advance.

I've now finally received plans from all the major powers and the minor nations. I will now focus my attention towards the very belated update, so if you have any changes to your plans at all get them in by the end of Wednesday night. Update will be Friday-Saturday, I'm shooting for Friday.

Just so everyone knows, plans submitted after 21 October 2016, 23:15:39 will still have the late penalty, ie in game circumstances will happen that will cause the implementation of a player's plans to be implemented late. I'm shooting for under 1 month (as in weather or messenger being shot etc causes plans to be delayed by less than or equal to 1 month). This will be upheld unless unanimous or near unanimous player support for a delay of the new Late Plan rule is shown on this thread.

I implore you all to communicate more effectively with each other and me. Being kept in the dark helps nobody.  :-[ Thank you in advance

I am currently doing all of the espionage actions and moves. Everybody who sent me their plans before the date I assigned as late will be able to edit their plans according to the results of their espionage with no penalty. Those who sent me their plans after the date will also be able to send me edits to their plans according to the espionage results, however their plans will remain with a penalty; however, the penalty will be applied as if the edits were the original late plans, so there's no added penalty for editing your late plans.

I might change my previous proposal regarding a new Espionage rule.

I am currently doing all of the espionage actions and moves. Everybody who sent me their plans before the date I assigned as late will be able to edit their plans according to the results of their espionage with no penalty. Those who sent me their plans after the date will also be able to send me edits to their plans according to the espionage results, however their plans will remain with a penalty; however, the penalty will be applied as if the edits were the original late plans, so there's no added penalty for editing your late plans.

I might change my previous proposal regarding a new Espionage rule.

Wtf? Couldn't you have told us earlier that you can edit your plans after espionage in the same turn?  I totally disagree with these midturn-rulechanges.
whats the point of spying if you can't capitalize on it? I've never really used spies but I figured you would be able to edit your plans. Otherwise the spy would be useless

There is NOTHING saying anything about that in the rules. After all I would have expected your plans to be delayed in this turn if you started to espionage in this turn. This way spying someone out takes seriously NO time and you can just get your secret information by magical deus ex machina.

I want to see planchanges delayed due to espionage orders that were given together with the plan. According from what you said it currently looks like this to me:

Player sends plan + a new espionage order at the same time --- Espionage takes NO time, the player just gets magic information for having said "I send spys to xy" without any delay --- Player changes plan, no delays are put in effect and the whole espionage action happened without any time having passed on.

Not all spy actions are "I send spy to D city and bloop". Assassinations, sabotages, scouting & hussars exploring for example I count as "espionage" for simplicity's sake. Regarding travel time, not all spies move from X to Y. Some spies are already in major cities awaiting orders to infiltrate  group, sabotage something, assassinate someone, etc... Which negates the whole "travel time" factor. Or, due to turn ending, they simply are interrupted in the middle of their order and will continue the order into the next turn. So not all espionage deserves a massive time penalty to it.

If I did make edits penalized for lateness for people who sent plans on time, that means I also have to penalize those who sent their orders late. This means those who sent their plans late will receive a penalty for late implementation, then get penalized again because their espionage, which was also implemented late, makes them change their orders which would be an added penalty. So let's say your plans were late Ted. Your spy does his mission one month late & gives you information one month late. Then you send me a revision. Your plans, already a month behind, are delayed another (for example) 2 weeks. So your new plans are implemented a month and 2 weeks into the turn. That's a major disadvantage to anybody (except maybe the opponent you're fighting). I'd rather not start slapping penalty after penalty after penalty on people. We already have the Late penalty & the No General Penalty.  :-[

Post by: Raddeo on October 27, 2016, 06:36:17 pm
I fully agree with Ted, using spies should (in most cases) lead to delaying of edited plans. Troops should start executing original orders and then, after for example two weeks, abandon old instructions and follow edited ones. That would make much more sense. That would also encourage players to use spies in more logical way, to discover the road ahead of their armies (to make edits possibly small and thus delays possibly insignificant) instead of sending them to the other part of the world and editing orders basing on news received from other part of continent. And even if the spy is already on place, then delivering the news, preparing new orders, delivering them to an army, etc. still should take time. You've once tried to explain me your theory about pace of movement of units and teleportation of spies doesn't seem to fit it ;)

I also think that whole idea of Late penalty is missed. It's all nice and fun when the only thing one has to worry about is math homework, but it's getting harder, when at the same time you have to study, work, prepare your thesis, etc. and of course you have to discuss your actions with several player who all have similar real life duties. One of major advantages of turn-based games is their time-independence. Why would we get stripped of it freely? Personally I don't care if I have to wait a week, two, or maybe a month to see an update. It's just a game, and I prefer to know that both my allies and my enemies had time to prepare their orders in peace, to think of best solutions, than to just play as fast as possible aware, that half of actions in each turn makes totally no sense due to lack of time to prepare them.

But I like the overall idea of limiting usage of spies. But maybe not by strict limit (as you've proposed), but rather by lowering change of success depending on number of used spies? So if you use just one spy in a turn, then probably he will succeed and bring a lot of info, but if you send four of them, then almost surely, all of them will fail. Strict limits are boring, they make game predictable.

Some sort of deadline has to be in place otherwise everyone forgets about the game. If it takes a month for an update, people lose interest, especially those that only go on the forums for forum games. It has been a problem with nearly every single forum game so far

Btw I recommend pms to communicate with your allies instead of steam. It is a lot better because you both don't have to be online in order for you to talk. Also can talk about more in depth plans and include maps

The spy limitation idea you proposed raddeo is interesting although I it would be a lot simpler to limit how many actions a nation can do. Volk never really gave any specific numbers. The 1 espionage action was just an example. She even said ignore th details. She just wanted to see what people thought about limiting espionage

I think maybe you should raise the dice roll to kill generals to 30 rather than 40. At this rate, all our generals are gonna be dead within 1804. Anyway, I think in this case both generals should be wounded rather than killed.

Update

Edit: See the Battle of Stockholm Waters for my most favorite work so far

A lot of Ships of the Line but very little mention of other rates :(. A great read though.

I would really like in a few of these story's to read the heroism of maybe a particular ship or regiment during these battles. We know that the Napoleonic Wars are full of the stories of valour by particular units. That for example the 3rd and 57th Regiments of Foot at the Battle of Albuera on the 16 May 1811. Their bravery in holding the flank of the British Army is credited as a major moment of the battle that helped the British recover and bring the battle to a stalemate when I could have been a bloody defeat.

Can I be Batavaria yet or are you determined to keep me out? xD

I messed up on my part. I knew that Francis II was Emperor of the HRE, but I incorrectly assumed that "that means Austria = Empire". Austria was in fact an Archduchy up until the dissolution of the HRE. Francis then remade Austria into it's own empire in order to make up the rank from Duke (technically) back to Emperor. I would edit the game thread but... FSE.  :-[

Also some nations might get a bonus should their generals do exceptionally well. Has to be exceptional though. Like... John Moore rolling a 30 to Napoleon's 1 exceptional for example. Or a particular person winning seemingly every battle. These should be extremely rare though.

Cronstedat did win every single battle he was a part of. And he rekt the best navy in the world. He was good admiral. Shame he is gone.

Side note: something I found funny is that both the Russian and Swedish admirals that were in that battle were at one point considered a disgrace

So... is this "Late Penalty" in the game, or not? It would be nice to know how many time we have now. Also, if this penalty is valid, then I'd like to ask when we can expect to see secret reports about things not connected with events in the update (movements of troops, rumors from the realm, situation in country, etc). If we have a week only to prepare orders, then even an hour of delay with such reports can matter. We have to discuss many things with players, and for now I don't even know where half of my forces are.
Also finally, what about spies? Any changes, or still we can use as many as we want and receive results of their actions immediatelly?

Like I said, the minimum time is 2 weeks. If 2 weeks pass and I see I don't have many/most plans, I'll ask how much more time feels like needs to be added. If most people have their plans in and you all say "2 more days, I want my update" then I apply to those who haven't sent by the two extra days.Etc etc

All this can be avoided easily though. :-\ Communication with other players should make planning easier. Communication with be as well would not only get your plans in faster but also keep me updated on anything that might require extension. This update I did the time penalty because I got plans way too late with no communication before or after. If let's say somebody said "I have finals all week" or better yet "We have finals all week" then I know I should not penalize and I'll just add more time. Communication is key  :-[

No spy changes, I'm still debating how to tackle it.

Unless you want me to say that BabyJ made him a General. Kind of a secret (or at least not something I should just tell) but you know.

I've fixed and identified the problem. The trade agreement was when Caz said "I accept all trade agreements offered." I must've forgotten to put you two as trading, which is weird because in the back of my mind I thought you two were trading.

I don't exactly understand what you're asking. Do you mean if generals with +0 will get +3's etc if they do well? If that's what you mean then yes, if a leader does exceptionally well they may go from +0 to +3, or -3 to 0, etc. These will be rare though, or at the very least very difficult to acquire.

Is it possible for a general that already has a bonus to go up? Like lets say Napoleon wins rolls like 10 more 30s and everyone else rolls a 1. Would he go up to a +12?

The Cubs won the world series. To celebrate I'm giving every player some sort of bonus or reward. Probably something small, or something. I'll think it over. Might just be some extra time too if you guys want.

Go Cubs Go

Thinking about the reward or bonus to you all, I've thought of 3 things:

-An extra week or so to plan.In honor of the Cubs winning & because election, working weekend, & birthday I can give you all an extra week.
-Choice between 2 Ships of the Line or Two-Three thousand infantry, spawned where you want or in an army away from immediate combat.
-Other
-Your suggestion here

You all have to agree.

None, and none! I don't think any of us really care about some team winning some game somewhere in the world. I can see no reason why our long planned actions should now go vain, just because someone would go full deus ex machina and magically create soldiers out of mud and dust. Either such spawns would make no difference (yay, add 3k men to army of 100k, such change) or would make terrible difference (double size of an army by adding 3k to almost destroyed ensembly and let it fight even if it should be destroyed in next battle). And concerning time for plans - either we claim that limits are there to make game enjoyable for all us and to avoid forcing us to wait too long, or we claim that they're here just because you want them here and we start manipulating it at every occasion. But if the latter is true, then I can see no reason for existance of such limits at all. So I vote against any proposition.

i think it's just your bad luck. You rolled the lowest possible roll while France rolled the highest possible roll. That one battle was like 40,000 casualties. You also loss every battle

BabyJesus, the fact that one is true, does not mean, that the other is not. Cazasar may indeed have terribly bad luck. But Volk's math may be as bad as Cazasar's luck.

I cannot think of any real battle during Napoleonic Wars, in which casualties of one side would be even remotely close to size of emeny's army. And in our game almost every battle ends with such results. In almost every battle in which size of one army is much bigger than size of the other, bigger army suffers irrational loses.
Battle of Emden, France had 6 500 men, Britain lost 4 350 men.
Battle of Torino, Russia had 20 000 men, Swedes lost 15 000 men.
Battle of Starnberg, France had 58 200, Austrians lost 53 750 men.
Battle of Viipuri, Denmark had 10 000, Russia lost 9 500 men.
Even in historical battle of Auestedt, casualties of Prussia were equal to only 55,5% of French army. Only event I can think of is pursuit after battle of Vauchamps, but if was a result of battle itself, in which loses of coallition were not even close to those which he have in our game.
Current mechanics and math used in this game make totally no sense. Neither historically nor tactically. It's impossible to predict results of any campaign, and even Montenegro could now rule the world after one battle with good rolls. I'm not starting this discussion again, I don't really care anymore, but as this topic was mentioned, I've felt obligated to show some things forth.

I totally agree with this statement. Under the current ciecumstances it has proofen a MISTAKE to unite armies against your enemies because it does not give you an advantage, but insane losses due to the roll of a dice which is luck only.

I never actually noticed that raddeo. Although I also don't know the size of every army in the game. Like holy fuck how many spies do you have? No wonder why you were against volk limiting spies.

You should go back and see what the casualties would be with your formula
Title: Re: BoP: Napoleonic Wars (Out-of-character Thread) [Live]
Post by: Raddeo on November 07, 2016, 03:44:44 pm
I know everything. You can call me Raddeo The All-Seeing. And I have never been against limiting spies. Last time we talked about it, I was against strict numerical limit, like 1 spy per turn, for I am aware that such limits never work correctly. That's another thing math teaches us. It's better to have some fluent limit, like making chance of espionage failure proportional to amount of used spies, which I proposed last time. I also supported applying Late Penaulty to those who edit their orders basing on espionage results. So get your facts straight.

With my formula casualties would never be bigger than 30% (or about 40% with nation and commander bonuses) of enemy army. I these specific battles Britain would loose 1 885 men, Sweden 5 000, Austria 25 026 (in fact this numer would be different, as size of French army was result of two previous battles) and finally Russia would loose 1 900. Also in many cases results of whole battles would be different, as bigger armies would deal much more damage to the enemy (as it should be).

Still waiting. This is just a heads up post. I've only received plans from 2 players, I'm including spies, diplo, military, & interior actions by PM in the count. (Real plans, I've only received from 1 player) Obviously I'll keep waiting considering I understand the circumstances. Still, some insight or an occasional "I'm alive" would be appreciated.

I still recommend PMs for planning. It's much better to have messages & read when you have the chance instead of sitting down for an hour discussing via Steam. Much more convenient

So you guys want an update despite the fact, that none of you have even sent any plans? Volk, maybe it's a sign that you should indeed update the game? It's over a month now, I wouldn't expect anyone to send you any plans after all this time. Either they'll start playing again after an update, or the game is already dead.
If we take this Late Penalty into consideration then they're all already twenty days after our two weeks deadline. You've once stated that one day of real-life delay is equal to one week of in-game delay. So all their orders would be already delayed for about five in-game months. One turn is three months, so any new orders wouldn't even matter now. I don't think longer waiting makes any sense now.

Soo... update?

P.S. what is this placeholder topic for?

A note: of those players who are not in the above list, not all have sent me military plans. If your name is not in that list, it is because I simply received something for you. Something, in this case, = literally anything (even a pm saying "no actions decided yet, skip me"). Of the people who are not on the list, those who actually sent military plans are an extreme minority. Even more so those who sent me overall plans for every type of action for this turn and, when you take into account the inevitable edit, the number of people who's plans are truly final is, being generous, 1. If you're on that list that means I've gotten absolutely nothing, and so nothing will happen from that nation come the update. Those who sent me actions will see events happen for their nation, military or otherwise.

Update's Wednesday.

I have the update ready, however I am postponing the game for now. I've many projects about to come to fruition and am currently working with some other people, on and off these forums, on their projects as well. I may reignite this game in the near future, however considering player activity is somewhat of a barometer for interest, I doubt this will happen.

Expect new games from myself in the quite near future as well as from those I work with, both publicly and privately.

Cmon guys do you really expect someone to continue running something that no one takes interest in anymore?

are you retarded or something? there was a huge amount of interest. Just look at the 1 plan sent to volk or all the responses Volks received whenever she posted
