This shall be the thread for chatting, clarifications and suggestions for the ongoing role play the Lone Warriors. If you feel that something should be added, someone has cheated or miscalculated, you want to chat and forge alliances, or are confused about the game rules, do not hesitate to post them here. Try to minimize questions and chat in the main Lone Warriors thread so that reference to turn posts can be quicker and easier.

I remember the good old days when we used a separate clarifications thread for ww2 RP two years ago which was my first RP by the way.  |

1st question series:
Do we want to limit the number of provinces to 5? 15? On my Google Maps, I can see 5 German cities, 5 Japanese cities and about 5 from Britain, but it's see 5 from Finland and Italy using the same scale.
Will we have 7 phases? Or will we have 1 recruitment, 1 research, 1 movement and 1 attacking?
Recruitment: Every turn naturally recruit? Or must we manually recruit troops?
2nd question series:
How will the each turn go about?
For Research and Recruitment: Every round, should all existing research and recruitment increase turn count by 1?
Next, if we use another phase for research/recruitment, will it increase turn count of ALL items or 1 specific item?.
What about attacking phase? Can we attack until all of a player's troops in a border province are defeated / the opposing border under attack is conquered / when the player decides to end the attacking phase?
3rd question series:
How will movement work?
Is it 1 province per phase? What about seas?
Can we cross through neutral territory?
If yes, who will assign the various provinces and major cities? What about ports and seas?
4th question series:
Are we all in agreement that diplomacy requires 0 phases?
Are we all in agreement that we can decide our own tech and research, but the turn count must be realistic?
Will we roll a dice to decide by ourselves "random" disasters / prosperity, similar to EW5? (Plague reduces fixed percentage of armed force count, economic boom raises number of phases by 1, etc.)? Or should we skip this to simplify the RP?

Nobunaga Oda, it is inevitable that some countries have less provinces than the others. They might choose to remain put, and accumulate troops before tackling on larger powers, or working with stronger allies, just like real life. Our definition was that Phase=Set of 7 turns. Phase is something like a year or turn. Like turn/phase 1 you can do 7 actions//turns. Natural recruitment seems too op, maybe we shall have Forced Conscription(natural recruit) for the first 3 phases (21 turns for every player), then we can discuss recruitment costs later. Each turn, you may move units/get technology/recruit more units/attack provinces. Do note that attacking provinces requires you to move to the desired enemy province. No natural increase for technology. Investments make the game more dynamic I dont understand your 6th question oops. I can only reply: Researched extra turn: 8 turns per phase now, starting from the next phase after upgrade. e.g. got full bank upgrade in phase 5 on turn 4, can only get 8 turns in phase 6. Phase is 7 turns by Netherfreek's example TW system. A province is conquered by 3 successful attacks and the opponent regardless of how many troops left must leave. Counterattacks allowed. Successful attack is when the dice roll makes you lose less troops than ur enemy after calculations.

ok, all these are just personal thoughts, feel free to disagree (lol) and we can work out an agreed set of rules. You can move 3 provinces through a neutral/ally country. e.g. As Australia i just landed in Singapore, 1 turn to move from Singapore ---> Malacca ---> Kuala Lumpur --->penang. For enemy territory one move only. So by the previous example I must conquer singapore before moving to malacca to fight So if I want to get to somewhere I can use 3 turns to travel 9 provinces in a approximate straight line(fastest route) to travel. Seas, to speed up the RP, works like this: As japan, if I want to get to busan, Phase 1: Turn 1: move troops to sea Turn 2: move troops to busan and land(reach busan) Turn 3: Travel from busan to seoul to pyongyang to shenyang. Nautical distance doesnt matter since the countries we selected only require moving across a channel/strait. So dont get me wrong and travel from japan to france in 2 turns via sea xD Yes neutral territory allowed. Just work out a feasible province travel route. You can state them and as long as its feasible its fine. i.e. no ridiculous movements like breezing through neutral russia from shenyang ---> Moscow(wth) ---> yakutsk ---> Minsk Yes diplomacy can be settled in here  7 turns per phase, best to follow the standard tech. But if youre really keen, then your own tech shld be ok just that it needs to stay reasonable lol. i.e. no tech like this: Antimatter Bomb: Kill all enemies and win game instantly Cost: 1 turn Skipping this would be good as we have attacking dice rolls to decide our disasters (I had my bottom kickec by Seger at ameins  ) |

Nobunaga Oda you can use wc4 map cities as well If you are uncertain about the provinces you crossed from neutral countries. As for your sixth question, last question in second questions series. There are fixed 7 turns there are no increment in any other phase if you drop one(attacking, research, recruitment) because new players (sorry Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr don't want to offend you in any way) might have some difficulty in understanding that format. Thus we are keeping it as simple as we can. But you can increase your number of turns by completing research in banking system by 1 in next phase.

Well, this has become a much larger project than I thought it would be. Well, 30 pages, then we're moving to another thread for the RP.

I am splitting the RP into parts, each part is 4 phases long and will take place in different threads, which each part is a year. We are in 2020 in the RP right now, so the American Election, which decides whether or not to get involved in the war, will begin Phase 4 of 2020, and the event won't happen again until the 2024 thread. |
