Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[Russia (DoE)]

About rankings, I wont go in much details, but I see clear jokes here:

Russia 10
England: 8
Inca: 8
Neandor 8
Vikings: 5
Ottomans: 6
Arabia: 5
France: 3-4
Natives: 5
America 4
Japan: 4
India 2
Egypt 1-2
Mali: 1-2
Mongolia: 1-2

The last time I checked, Viking had 1500 (no joking) GPT income, England had like 1100-1200, while Russia had 950. England's army is stronger than Krasnaia Armia. Viking's army I am not sure, but it is not weak by any means - Viking have 15-20 destroyers - just as much as England. For comparison - Turkey have 6, Russia - 2. And both England and Viking have more of the advanced military technologies than Russia. Giving England 8 and Viking 5 can be argued.

Japan cant be any stronger than France at the moment. India getting 2? When they have 20 infantries? Russia have 40 and is rated 10! Also dont forget the potential, which the Chinese cities will give India. Also, I think India is warlike and skilled in the war - this counts Inca having 8? With bombers, fighters, carriers and destroyers?

Give Viking 7, India 3, America 3 and I can take the rating as a whole.

[Russia (DoE)]

Ok, let's see if we can call a quick vote!

CHINA PARTITION----------------------------------------------------
This is already happening, but just to make sure everyone is comfortable with it. Vote on whether you think it is appropriate for China to remain AI and have Japan, India, Mongolia, Russia, et al divide them up and eliminate them militarily.

Yes
No

ZULU PARTITION----------------------------------------------------
Someone logs in as the Zulu and gifts cities and units evenly between Israel and the Mali.

Yes
No


All alliance options assumes there is no Zulu or China. Even if people don't like the partition, they will still be AI and non-factors in the game. When voting for alliances and for peace options, please vote yes or no for each option, and then also indicate a preference for one. A winning option needs to have a majority accepting that option (voting yes) and a plurality preferring it.

ALLIANCE OPTION 1----------------------------------------------------

Axis (fascists):
Neandor-France-Viking-Arabia-India-Mongolia-Natives-America

Communists (or democrats):
Russia-Turkey-Inca-England-Japan-Mali

Yes
No


ALLIANCE OPTION 2----------------------------------------------------

Fascist Alliance:
Neandor-Arabia-Japan-Vikings-Egypt

Communist Alliance:
Russia-Native America-Ottomans-Mongolia-Mali

Democrat Alliance:
England-Inca-France-America-India

Yes
No


ALLIANCE OPTION 3----------------------------------------------------

The game continues organically from here with no enforced alliances.

Yes
No
This is my preference.


ENFORCED PEACE OPTION 1----------------------------------------------------

30 turn global non-aggression pact (not including China or Zulu).

Yes
No
This is my preference.

ENFORCED PEACE OPTION 2----------------------------------------------------

20 turn global non-aggression pact (not including China or Zulu).

Yes
No


ENFORCED PEACE OPTION 3----------------------------------------------------

10 turn global non-aggression pact (not including China or Zulu).

Yes
No


ENFORCED PEACE OPTION 4----------------------------------------------------

No non-aggression pact. Continue as normal.

Yes
No

Though the nations in alliance option 2 must be rearranged somehow

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

I think when we do this it will be resolved:

Fascist Alliance:
Neandor-France-Vikings-India-Egypt

Communist Alliance:
Russia-Native America-Ottomans-Mongolia-Mali

Democrat Alliance:
England-Inca-America-Japan-Arabia

That leaves Arabia pretty isolated I think Arabia is having buyers remorce with Axis and just wants to be back with Russia. But then Axis has no Oil (again) and that starts whine-o-rama back up.

Structuring forced alliances is going to be challenging, because everyone needs oil right? That means everyone needs a teammate that has Combustion, WITH an Oil resource. Unfortunately thats only Viking, Arabia, and Inca, and only Arabia and Inca have an Oil resource. Any Ideas on how to solve that problem?

Or we could just forget it and let the Communists go without, whatevers, but again, I dont want to hear a peep of complaining.

[OzzyKP]

I think when we do this it will be resolved:

Fascist Alliance:
Neandor-France-Vikings-India-Egypt

Communist Alliance:
Russia-Native America-Ottomans-Mongolia-Mali

Democrat Alliance:
England-Inca-America-Japan-Arabia

I'm good with that.

[Calanthian]

I think when we do this it will be resolved:

Fascist Alliance:
Neandor-France-Vikings-India-Egypt

Communist Alliance:
Russia-Native America-Ottomans-Mongolia-Mali

Democrat Alliance:
England-Inca-America-Japan-Arabia

[OzzyKP]

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

Alright.. then I insist on an alliance where I'm with England or Russia :P

You WERE with Russia AND England! You were the one who decided to join India/Axis and start giving Axis oil LMFAO

[Russia (DoE)]

And Vic, dont take at heart Mr.Salaam's assessment on your nation. He is sly enough to saying this only to fire the ambition in you to prove your might by attacking Russia Always have in mind to be careful when dealing with Mid-East humbugs

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

For alliance number 2 you must swap India and Japan.

Umm, Arabia, by option 4, you mean option 2, but you want it like this:

Fascist Alliance:
Neandor-France-Arabia-Vikings-India-Egypt

Communist Alliance:
Russia-Native America-Ottomans-Mongolia-Mali

Democrat Alliance:
England-Inca-America-Japan

This is a little better for America, because now America has the fierce Japanese warriors to back them up, although they are a little far away . But this is MUCH better for India because now they have Arabia and Egypt in their neck of the woods to protect them from the inevitable unstoppable Ottoman Blitzkrieg. But seriously this is way better.

I think it is a good idea to look at the true Military strength and Technological advancement of the Alliances. So I will exclude the civs that are Pacifist (and therefore wont be doing much fighting for the alliance) as well as the Civs that are too small to make much of a difference. So here is the REAL military picture.

Fascists:
Neandor-France-Arabia-Vikings-India

Communists:
Russia-Ottomans

Democrat Alliance:
England- America -Japan

So... Ummm... OK Whatevers Im OK with this. But I d@mn sure dont wanna hear anymore f**k!n@ complaining.. Not a whisper. Seriously.

Now to discuss the Tech situation on the Alliances. The teams that can contribute techwise are:

Fascist Alliance:
Neandor-France-Arabia-Vikings-India-Egypt

Communist Alliance:
Russia-Native America-Ottomans

Democrat Alliance:
England-Inca-America

Obviously Inca is the most Advanced, followed by Vikings. After that its probably Neandor, then Arabia. So again, this is fine, but this deck is obviously stacked in Axis favor heavily so... yea. Game on.

[Russia (DoE)]

Care to cast your ballot, Ms. Catherine?

Sure, going to take a vanilla tea, will think a bit more and will vote then.

Very good attempt at organizing the nations by rating, btw, Mr.Salaam. Will comment on it too, but as a base and approach you have my admiration.

[Arabia2 (doe)]

Alright.. then I insist on an alliance where I'm with England or Russia :P

[OzzyKP]

Hahahah, not even close. But lets not derail the voting. We can tweak the line ups for the three alliances a bit if we decide to go in that direction. Maybe swap India & Japan, or something else like that. But we can wait on that until we decide to go with the three alliances.

We can just agree that the list of civs is a solid draft, not the final.

[Arabia2 (doe)]

I will give you a rating based on tech level, production, current army, 1-10 Russia being the 10

Russia 10
England: 8
Inca: 8
Neandor 8
Vikings: 5
Ottomans: 6
Arabia: 5
France: 3-4
Natives: 5
America 4
Japan: 4
India 2
Egypt 1-2
Mali: 1-2
Mongolia: 1-2

These 1-2 depends on whether they become active and get their army upgraded or not, actually they can be lower than 1

This is all subjective, in my humble opinion.

[Arabia2 (doe)]

Yea, Arabia's idea is very overpowered for the Axis.

Then we strongly disagree, because I think still the Axis would be the weakest.
