<.< Did the title catch your attention? Good. I didn't see anything like this in the wiki so...if it's there hit me.
I'm not smart but I'm crazy...like a fox. So bear with me.
First--Why?
Why do we care? Why am I doing it? Why is the sky blue? I can answer all three of those questions but I'll only answer two. We care because Argovia is feeing the claws of imperialism by two nations: Alahana and the Dillidan Complex. I'm doing this because I want to advance Argovia as a location and I want to give each nation a fair chance at survival.
Who?
Who's going to to develop it? Me, with the help of ya'll. Who's going to determine how the battles are fought? Fuck if I know, you give me some input on that.
What?
What the hell is wrong with me? A lot.
When?
When there's time for the combatants to....um...combat.
Where? Board, probably so the whole world can see but I'm not opposed to chat either. Just bear in mind I'm only around really early or really late on weekdays but I'm free on weekends which seem to be filled up for everyone.
How?
Now it gets juicy. Here's what I was thinking....
HP = Population. A nation is considered conquered when it's army is gone and it's population is reduced by a third. Or if they say uncle.
AP= Army Points.
TP= Time points. Setting shit up takes time and if you want to convert your airship squad into ground troops of vice versa that's gonna take time.
MP=Money points. >:{ Wars cost money.
Now how does all this get determined?
*takes a deep breath* Now what I'm thinking, and believe me it hurt to do so, but I managed! Go me! What I was thinking was this.
Nations have levels. Nations have stats. And it goes a little something ilke this.
Stats:
POP= Population to the nearest thousand
MAG= Magical level of the nation. 0 being no magic, 6 being damn near everyone's a mage or can use simple magic.
STR= Added STR of Army (See later)
WIS= Education level of nation. Anything negative is primitive. 0 is a nation beginning to make tools and such. 10 is MAC/Marispolan level. Doma is a 5.
ECO= Economic level of the nation. 0 being no economy at all 10 being everyone is getting there money from you! Doma is...>.o Probably a 5. Nekonia is probably a 7. Valth is probably a 3. Terumahilana is probably a 2.
I'm not good at math but the Level would be determined by a countries STR WIS and ECO.
Now AP is probably the most complicated. Points spent on acquiring an Army would have to be determined. I'm thinking STR, HP, and LVL would be the determining factors. Once that's decided then AP would be the added strength of a nations Army.
Time points...I ...dunno. It sounds good in theory but I don't know that it'll work.
Money points = determined by ECO and WIS.
AAAAAAHOKAY enough theory. *waves hands to clear the air and her mind*
Costs:
Dragons > Mages (Because they're uppity) > Soldiers > Peasants
Airsihps (because they're damn hard to make) > Warships > Merchant ships
And that's all I have... Thoughts.
