Another Age of War PBEM

[Choke]

This is like the Treaty of Versailles all over again.

[JamesJKirk]

No, no capital, it'll just take him a few turns to make the capitol, that was one of the conditions for moving to the second phase.

EDIT: After giving it some more thought, I'm fine w/ the Navy you gave Germany, though I'd prefer those artillery were left out. I wasn't trying to be unreasonable or anything, I'd've just liked to have been informed about that stuff first, but no harm done

[Dr. Nick]

This Germany isn't even worth the trouble.

[Darius871]

Dude it's just provisional; you'll get more cities soon and of course your six cities are very developed. If you really don't want it say so, Choke seemed to express an interest.

[Dr. Nick]

I'll happily cede the privilige to Choke then.

[The ANZAC]

Whoa, el no need to over react. This is a wokring process. HAve you seen how much you will get back? we're rebuilding Germany not punishing it. It's already been punished enough with occupation.

[Case]

Just to add my $0.02, I'm all for increasing the size of Germany now and not later.

[Dr. Nick]

It took what, four months to recreate Germany?

[The ANZAC]

Well, setting up Germany itself is the hardest part. Afterwards, it's much easier to add territory. Also we set the begining of 1906 as the date for the recreation so now it's rolled around and we did it, not that we dragged our feet for 4 months.

[JamesJKirk]

I don't want to seem so unreasonable that you can't work with us. Maybe we've been too rigid, just float an offer by, and we'll accept or counter, or argue amongst ourselves

Actually, here's an offer: Two conscripts in every city, except Berlin, which has three, a Palace in Berlin, start in Republic, researching Democracy, and the same navy that Darius gave you. How's that sound to everyone?

[The ANZAC]

Yes that sounds fine. Though I am not willing to budge completely on cities.

[Darius871]

I think an argument for having Germany get all its cities now and not later is that it won't have to burn improvements conquering them, and also that it wouldn't have to break off the alliances that were arranged in cheat mode in order to conquer them. It would be a ***** for everyone to have to recreate all of them with the AI, so it seems better to just give them the cities now since it can be done easily with the editors.

[Cyrion]

Just my 2 swiss "centimes" (or "Rappen"...) , as a "neutral witness":

I think that the progressive return to "independance" from Germany was an excellent idea, in a diplomatic way, but the fact that it would be really restraining for the new player has been neglected!

BUT, as this PBEM has taken a quite diplomatic turn in the last years, maybe a Germany re-creation in steps could still be acceptable for you, El Awrence?? The feel of it in the "story" of the game would be great!

Of course, I wouldn't be the one hindered by the limitations, and neither one of those having to work twice to give you back some cities ! So it's really easy for me to say so!!

It's up to you all, in conclusion, I would be glad anyway (what a good lad I am ... )

[Darius871]

Cyrion's right, it has to be remembered that a human being will be taking this country, and it has to be worth a damn.

[The ANZAC]

But Darius you seem to miss the point, that up until you conquered the cities for Germany, we were going to hand over all the cities at the proper stages vis a vis diplomacy where German and the other nation would be online and make the trade.
