Pretty dank update.

Pretty dank update.

I like this style of update better than 1914's. I must say my hat comes off.

[Ted]

Britain has just sunk allied ships? Bye-bye coalition then....

That's one great update, keep your style like this! 

[Emperor Napoleon]

gg britain

Nice update too. I like the way you put the aggressive acts together and named them

[Raddeo]

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?

[BabyJesus]

UK should give back all the ships they sunk

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.

Yes, please.
Imo the number of casualties per battle is absolutely unrealistic.

UK sinks Ottoman ships --> Ottomans are outraged --> UK tells Ottomans to shut the fuck up

I assume we are not going to see a real coalition form up against Napoleon now, but one against Britain instead.

[Volk]

Added an extra phrase to the last paragraph of the update. Helps clarify some meaning.

[BabyJesus]

Declares war on me but not France, Denmark, or any other of France's logic. Also completely ignores the fact that the UK attacked him

#WhatIsLogic

[Raddeo]

Logic is for the weak, real men of 19th century followed their hearts. Romanticism, you ever heard of it?

Isn't romanticism after Napoleon?

Also I forgot to say, it's Turn 2. Woo.

[Raddeo]

Before? Rather not. By most sources it started before 1800. But in the east it was a bit later, so if you're from the east (Russia I believe?) then it may indeed be after Napleon in your country.

Wooo! Turn 2! I've almost missed that change

[Furrnox]

When roleplay falls apart I cry 

I think people who just make non/bad rp wars should get penalties hue hue.
