Questin regarding Venus and Mars
« Reply #31 on: September 07, 2012, 03:37:33 am »

What, those are our only options?  What if I prefer Venus as the new Yellow Frontier (I'm rather partial to keeping Earth as our home; I'm not about to run away from those Fascists), or prefer Mars as our new home (not bloodly likely, but maybe somebody always wanted to call themselves "Martians")?

The obvious thing is, there are 2 planets with ruins. Both nations are eager to exploit it. But they only had manpower and resource to control only 1. So the logical way are one Nations claim one planet and then warn the others: NEVER ENTER ANY AREA 10M KM AROUND VENUS/MARS OR THE ALLIES WILL KICK YOUR ASS 'TILL IT BURN ON SIRIUS. You can go to Venus, you can go to Mars, but you can go to both at the same time. Although both ruins on planets are supposedly 'free' and a 'gift to humankind' and the UNAC will demand to participate on ruins excavations (forget China, they'll busy playing civil war on each other).

Now for some ramblings:
I envisage Venus as an earth like world with 90% surface covered with shallow sea. With a denser atmosphere, heavy cloud formation, almost raining all year, the equator are always ravaged with heavy storm. The remaining land (Terra Ishtar and Terra Aphrodite) is covered with swamps and local plant that can be describe as unholy marriage between coral and mangrove. The sea are fully packed with armored fish: fish with bony plates covering their body instead of scales, while in land numerous shelled therapod amphibians are the dominant large land animal. Venus biome seems to prefer shell and armored animals.
Map of Venus somewhat resemble this, until I photoshoped something more decent:

The North Continent are Ishtar, the Central One are Aphrodite Continent, divided into Alta (right) and Thetis (left). Far west is small Beta Continent and far east is Ovda Islands.

Mars is a planet with more thinner atmosphere, the Northern Hemisphere are mainly covered with oceans. It is covered with red dunes with little precipitation. Think it as Mojave in winter... Most plant and Animals packed around the coast of Northern Ocean. The dominant plants resemble giant ferns, and some animals had exoskeleton like insects while some did't had any skeleton structure...
Map of Mars (I like this one):

The Northern Ocean are lazily called Northern Ocean. The Southern Continent are still Called Southern Continent. The Big round sea in the West are called Hellas Sea that will be frozen in the Mars winter. While the smaller one in the East are called Argyre Lake. The one Island is called Elysium Island. The Mars Southern Pole are covered with Perma-Ice Field (and source of numerous rivers) are called Tartarus Ice Field. As Mars Continent are freakingly huge, the inner continents are very much dry cold steep just like Siberia!

Of couse both planets had their own variants of small bugs. And don't worry, our scientist found that microorganism in Venus and Mars can't infect humans, they never evolved with us afterall...



You mean we're not just going to start a bunch of colonies on mineral rich worlds and then nuke the crap out of earth?
You start on Earth of course, and we don't wanna to throwing nukes on Earth... At least while we still on Earth... And why do you want to nuke Earth? Are you a Socialist spy?

Oh shit, sorry mate. I Just started a Aurora Let's play...

About a space Reich. I did not notice this lets play of yours, really sorry.
No worry, SPACE NAZI are a populer tropes after all. And like what TVTropes ike to say: Our Reich are different.

In my timeline Hitler become vegetative since the failed assassination plot on 1935 that leaves many high rank NAZI officer dead or badly wounded that forced them to retire. Hitler become a figurative head of state (and connected into Life Support to keep Hitler alive). Think it as the same as the Emperor in Warhammer.
That makes my Reich didn't had a Fuhrer. Hitler are Fuhrer for life (even after his death on 1970s) so they don't elect more Fuhrer. The leader of Reich are what they called: Privatkanzlei. With Reichsleiters act as Kanzlei minister. So the Reich are much more benign, they still think slavs as uncultured brutes, they still believe women are better to stay at kitchen work, they still think jews as enemy of the state, they think human are the rightful ruler of universe and all aliens can be killed or subjugated without remorse, they banned homosexual and keep them with mentally insane in mental hospital, they do eugenics, but at least they more ecofriendly and trying the best to stop global warming. (What?)
You can join our game as well...

I'd personally try to colonize mars, as it can support life better(2vs25). I'd establish a pacifist colony on the moon so we wouldn't violate the treaty about no weapons(look for the loopholes

Yeah, the more the merrier.  More Aurora LPs means more chance of one still running five months from now.

Also: I'm sure Aboth Ber might want to shamelessly steal politely borrow some of your ship designs for this LPs Third Reich, if that is ok with you.

I looked at poll choice, Laser as popular as usual, but surprisingly Plasma Carronade are also in first place with 4 votes.

Also: I'm sure Aboth Ber might want to shamelessly steal politely borrow some of your ship designs for this LPs Third Reich, if that is ok with you.
Yeah, especially if I found the design are interesting. I also got some crazy design that I s]shamelessly steal[/s] inspired from several other AAR. You will be surprised, it is quite unorthodox and combat proven...

Oh man.  I'm going to nerd out for a couple of minutes thinking about the effects of having the majority of your oceans in one hemisphere.
That will make Mars climate more colder and more dryer than Earth when our Ocean are relatively free to wander from North to South. The Mars southern pole will just like a huge Antartic Ice Field while the Northern Pole will relatively Ice Free. The coast wil get penty of rains though as the land will be cold enough to cause cloud to moved to South (as the land act as giant negative pressure thingy same as the system atop Siberia) and then precipitate at various mountain range. The region beyond those mountain range will get almost zero humidity and will stayed as dry land. Where the southern ice caps got all their Ice? That Ice come from when Mars was a little warmer and from water that been trapped at Hellas Sea and Argyre Lakes since time immemorial. The water circulation between North Ocean and South Ice I think maybe very different and seldom interact with each others. But of course this is all only hypothetical scenario as our real world Mars did not had a large ocean.

Hypothetical Mars Santa will be based on South Pole and they don't employ elves, they employ dwarves. And that kids, explain why the kids get toys and the adult goes drunk on Christmas. Mars Santa give free Dwarven Rums.
It is also will just like the old Earth... In Late PreCambrian time (600M year ago) when all our continent (Supercontinent Rodinia) are in Southern Hemisphere...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


I'll post our world settings tomorrow at 2.00 PM (GMT+7) and you can see your first in-game character statistics. and Also the Solar Systems Statistics (since we started with TNS, all inner Solar Systems are already surveyed, that leaves Jupiter and beyond that need to be scanned) Also more game related questions......

Also I ask again: Which one more better that will become the new Colony :
a. Warm Ocean World Venus with it's frequent rain and violent storms at equator. A cross between Hawaii, Swampy Florida and Pacific Islands.
b. Cold Desert World Mars with rain near coast and inland cold desert. A cross between British Columbia, Siberian Steep, Mojave Desert and Antarctica.
Note that both planet had "Partially Intact City" Ruin and Homeworld Grade TN Minerals. Climates only affect our role playing, didn't had anything with real game mechanics though.

Also (that's a lot) since Allied Nations got 4 free instantly created PDC that cost less than 1200 BP. also 4 instantly created with max size 20000 ton and 2 instantly created Military Ships with max size 2500 ton. The BP did not exceed 750 for ComShips and 500 BP for Milships. SUBMIT your design NOW! The components will also instantly researched as long as it fulfill these rules:
Quote from: Game Rules
3. You can Instantly Research these ship components: 4 type of Active Sensor, 2 Type of EM and Thermal Sensor, 6 type of Missile, Drone, or Buoy. 2 type of Beam Fire Control. 1 type of CIWS. 1 type of Gauss Cannon. 1 type of Meson Cannon, 1 type of High-Powered Microwave, 1 type of Laser/Railgun/Particle Gun/Plasma Carronade, 4 type of Missile Launcher, 2 Type of Missile Fire Control, 1 type of Magazine, 1 type of reactor. And you do the component design by yourself. How cool is that?
But only if the Research Point needed to research the component are below 500.
Allied Nations Patent Bureau awaits your submission. (for those that wondered: Yes, I already design the Reich ships and components, the Reich choose *spoiler!*  ;D.)

Sounds like a nicer holiday destination to me, and we need somewhere to relax while we plan our empire...

Aye, we need to know what we currently have researched and what we currently have available to research before we can continue. As far as planetary acquisition and claim, I throw my vote in for Venus. It's my desire.

I'm guessing that the 2k4 game start is in effect. Otherwise I will executively mandate that Prof & Drs Kotch and Keyhead pool their resources to immediately complete finalized testing and worldwide implementation of TNTechnologies so that we may finally take a lead against the Axis in this regard.

For now as things are deadlocked in the poll I'll refrain from making an official statement in regards to our currently available weapons technology.

Polling result:
Quote
What kind of beam weapon that you want to started the game with? (it will be instantly researched)
Laser. (Long range, damage drops off with range, cuts through armour)
 4 (23.5%)
Railguns. (4 slugs per shot, damage spread across armour, nice for Point Defense)
 2 (11.8%)
Particle Gun. (Fixed damage weapon)
 1 (5.9%)
Plasma Carronades. (Bigger Calliber, Crazy Damage)
 8 (47.1%)
Screw beam weapons. I want Mobile Infantry!
 2 (11.8%)

By majority vote, the Allied will get free Plasma Carronade techs, any objection?

Anyway about Mars and Venus question we got (we still got a lot of time until the game start, think carefully)
Mars   : 3
Venus : 2

Oh and when I generate the Ruins I got Deserted Intact City (means more than 1500 alien installations to dig about) for both of planet. But I don't know which ruins had better tech level.

Let our game begin!

Our game named: Allies & Reich.
Starting Year: 2004
NPR difficuty: 125%
NPR generation chance: 50%
Construction Cycle Time: 86400 second or 1 day.
Precursor and Star Swarm features are on. Invader will be turned on when the year reach 2019 or if there are 5 NPR spawned whichever reached first.
All default feature are turned on.

I'l update again after finishing preparing the factions (I had cleaned the East and West China, now to Micro Reich, UNAC, and Allies)
