Nuclear War II - Page 7

I think one rule should be, like in Civ, that you can't capture the person's captal (or: last city) with propaganda. Otherwise, this turns from a Nuclear War game into a propaganda game. Also, I'd propose this: Democracies still get two cities with propaganda, but now you need a spy to perform propaganda, and he always dies in the process. This makes sense in RL, sort of, returns game more to Nuking than constant prop fun, and also removes the mind-boggling advantage of Democracy, while it still retain a certain edge.

spy for propoganda? Good idea. that puts a dent, alrighty. Now we have to give Isolationism and Dictatorship something in that regard.

Vlad Antlerkov · December 4, 2003, 20:12

One problem. The map shows me as having lost Delos and Egesta. The site shows me as having lost only Delos. IIRC, we decided that Demo propping against Demo only gets one city.

Edit: Found it.

You know, I did quote ADG's post where he mentioned that new rule for a reason.

EDIT: Hey, what happened to the green, kinder poking-tongue-out smilie?

vovan · December 4, 2003, 20:53

Vlad, I went by ADG's post...

EDIT: Ooops... Now I see what has been changed. I'll update the map to only take one city from you.

EDIT2: Map updated.

DrSpike · December 5, 2003, 06:45

Sent.

Sorry... I forgot to update the post... only updated the site

Vovan's idea sounds like the best way to avoid the propaganda rulers...
But would this give Democrats a double spy bonus for propaganda missions, while Communism has the double spy bonus for everything else?

And I was thinking about making this an online game (With login, cast orders, logout... login, check spy mission... change order, logout)... ala Vovan's project for next yet, except this will only be playable MP, and everything should be saved on a server)

Though I wont be able to do this at present time... I can't start before December 20, because I'm busy with a school project at the moment...

Anyone here who's interested in helping, if I decide to do it?

Nope. since, that's communism's only bonus. democracy isn't handicapped in building cities for example.

Adagio · December 5, 2003, 09:11

If Communism has double bonus for Prop also, what does Democrats have as bonus?

Adagio · December 5, 2003, 11:46

I recieved 2 orders, and a weirdo order from Sheep... in one of the same msg... waiting for a reply...

Basicly a: Hurt all the other players, make sure they don't hurt me

EDIT:

I've recieved all orders now... stats coming up in a few minutes...

Adagio · December 5, 2003, 12:06

May 2005:

DrSpike built the city with the well-thought name ‘NewCity’, while GeneralTacticus rebuilt his city Scion. Sandman trained a new spy, while Skanky Burns was doing some propaganda on Vlad Antlerkov, but failed because Sheep sabotaged his orders. Vlad tried to use a deflection shield against Skanky, but failed because Burns sabotaged his orders… Sheep also managed to use a little propaganda on GeneralTacticus’ city Jerusalem. Lets congratulate Sheep… first month he didn’t build a new city…

vovan · December 5, 2003, 16:36

Not a very eventful month, this.

Az · December 5, 2003, 16:40

BORING. finish it up, already.

Sandman · December 5, 2003, 17:13

Orders sent.

Adagio · December 5, 2003, 17:38

Yeah... let's get more nukes flying... for those who can get to war that is

DrSpike · December 5, 2003, 18:46

Well that's the point.........only propaganda can start wars and do the players have the incentive to use it when they can just build and not piss anyone off?

This time next week Skanky will have 30 cities.

Excuse me, but who was nicknamed Mr ICS during the last game? And who's total number of cities increased during the past round? I would like to point out that my city numbers were static.

I'd like to point out that you hint that it was DrSpike, whose city count increased this last turn isn't exactly correct. He lost a city in a bombing and built one. So, his city count remained constant as well. In fact, the only person, whose city number increased is Sheep.

Skanky Burns · December 6, 2003, 01:01

Yeah, that was my point.

Sheep is the evil one here!

Is it too late for me to edit that post?

And I'd to point out another fact: Sheep has been increasing his # of cities each round... except for the round he missed to send in his orders

Did I lose one last round?...........I thought it was the round before last.

Skanky Burns · December 6, 2003, 08:42

Thats what I get for not checking up on the game state and just believing Vovan.

My original point stands - DrSpike is the one who increased his number of cities last turn! He is Mr ICS!

Although he was only 1 of 3 who increased their city numbers.

DrSpike · December 6, 2003, 09:21

Ahem, alliance member, you are not in position to comment on numbers of cities, given that you have, like, a billion.

Skanky Burns · December 6, 2003, 09:50

I have the same amount as Sandman, and only one more than Sheep or Vlad. Just because some other people can't keep up with the rest of us...

DrSpike · December 6, 2003, 10:11

Well some of us paid the price for leading the fight against the evil repressive commies. And what thanks do I get?
