Awesome. Rename your cities if you want, and name your population. Remember, if you have a higher population, then ima throw you more random disasters and events and stuff.
Well, this is really based on your military population. Your military should be no more then 500 thousand men. I think i can come up with a system. Like, someone who has 400,000 men has better equipment then someone with 500,000? I really need to refine this system. >.>
Okay then, I'll have an overall population of 18 million and a military of 300,000 men. Does that sound right?
Population: 15 million Military strength (Peace time): 200,000 professional soldiers + variable number of conscripts (Depends on number of eligible men during a specific year) Military strength (Standard Mobilization): 350,000 (Usually a 60/40 mix of professionals and conscripts, respectively) Military strength (Full mobilization i.e every person fit for fighting is trained and sent to fight): Can hit upwards of 500,000 depending on severity of situation (Such as the invasion of the Vasgarten homeland. Full mobilization will severely damage Vasgarten's industrial output in exchange for an army that is extremely large in proportion to it's size. A last resort measure, of course.) If the 500,000 cap is non-negotiable, then consider full mobilization to peak at 500,000 men, then.
Oh by the way Sky, since I stated earlier one of the units would be peasant conscripts, would that mean that they could be mobilised to heighten the military strength?
Yes. But if there mobilized, they would be very badly equipped, and even worse trained. I'm going to be moderating all battles. Meaning one side posts, the other side responds, then i post whether each side was succesful or not. So that theres NO chance of godmodding, as i'm the one calling the casualties, and everything. Btw, If you guys want to start now, go ahead. Make individual threads about each thing though. Like, If your having a war, one thread for that. If your doing diplomacy, one thread for that. Like, You make a new thread for diplomacy with each different nation, so that we don't get mucked up. The Main thread will just be for internal things. After posting once about your nations internal happenings, i will then give you a randomized event, 50/50 chance if it's good or bad. Once a day, i'll give you one, at least.
I think we should start when everyone who showed interest has confirmed whether or not they'll take part.
population: 14 million Military Strength: Varies in offensive and defensive wars as cities must vote to pledge their troops. Max professional soldiers around 200,000 but this number is not likley to be achieved in an offensive war. However fairly well-trained citizen soldiers can be raised in emergencies to supplement this number.
Yea, that's what I was going for. Maybe at full mobilization there would be at most 450,000-500,000 trained and equipped (Ranging from moderately trained conscripts to well trained professional to the relatively small number of elites) troops while the rest are...Well, not as good.
Yea. If you want, you can start diplomacy threads, and internal events threads. IE, make a thread talking about whats happening in your nation, and i'll throw you an event every once in a while.
