Afrikan Elephant Conservation The Korps were exploring the vast continent, sampling all the jollof along the way, when they came across a new civilization on the northern coast, Carthago. The Korps saw the many strange aspects of their culture and lifestyle, including their love of riding enormous elephants and using them as their cavalry, much as the Korps used Panzers. Sadly, the elephants were facing ever-increasing threats from hunters, barbarians, and pirates. So, seeing them as potentially useful to the Korps, they offered their help in setting up a conservation arrangement. Article 1 - Sovereignty The Korps shall not take any elephants for personal pets, even though they are cute AF. In exchange, no Carthaginian shall steal Panzers from military bases, even though they are the superior mode of transportation/warfare. Article 2 - Respect Friendly trade between both signatories will be arranged and can include German beer, various NSFW examples of holy PLOT, the best Mediterranean wine, silk and all the ceramic Etruscan Boar Vessels the Afrikans could desire. Article 3 - Mutual Defense Both signatories agree to protect not only the wildlife, but also the people of their great societies (but mostly the wildlife). Article 4 - Intelligence Any information about haters of lolis on Panzers or troubles brewing in the Alps in advance of a journey by the elephant war caravan shall be shared between both sides, as soon as reasonably possible. Article 5 - Non-Chaining Both signatories believe that elephants and Panzers need to be cage-free. In the event that either signatory is attacked as a result of their fulfillment of third-party obligations, Article 3 of this treaty is to be considered optional. Article 6 - Cancellation If the Korps get tired of shooting poachers with their machine guns or the Carthaginians think that the carbon emissions of the tanks are too harmful for their environment, either signatory must provide 72-hour notice in order to cancel this treaty. tl:dr; Elephants and tanks can coexist peacefully (AK & CTO sign a MDP) Signed for Afrika Korps: Big Tiny wehner Donny No wehner Skae Smoll Huge wehner Velium Perfect wehner Odin Everyone's wehner Deus Signed for Carthago: El Chach, Suffet Daveth, Elder Asierith, Elder Antonio, Elder Krampus, Elder

Heyo, ORB here with a big recap over the last..almost month. Did we miss anything? Checkit Right Here - some good stuff, big moves - but has it been enough? Also while you're here.....new show coming in 2023, Kilo and a surprise new show...end of the month!

wooooooah! Didn't see this happening. Being as I have both logical and legal (see Elephant treaty) reasons to upvote and post support for this, I totally approve :D

Is TPC some kind of new synthetic drug? Who are you? Anyway too long I stopped reading after the first paragraph

o7

I agree that some of the current perks need a rework. I would like to see more defensive focused perks, for example having tanks dug in for a percentage in defense. However the whole system has been in the game for 3-4 years and nothing has come from it. I hope it gets adapted and improved, then finally added into the playable game,

I like horse cocks too

Who needs a nuclear winter when we can blot out the sun with all the shade Sketchy is throwing?

Recognition of War So, I guess welcome back. That didn't take long. But you gotta admit, hitting Alpha seems pretty lame. We've been irrelevant for years, don't you know? On top of that, doesn't look so good when you can't handle your own business against an alliance who hasn't even existed for the better part of a year, and you have to call in extra help. Not mad or upset, just disappointed in you Oblivion. I thought you liked to fight or something? Anyway, we've noted your 11 nations on your AA and also will keep watch on those two 3000k infra whales that left after the war started. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=24900 https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=63120 But it's fine, we expect them to say in that AA, and not use another AA's protection for any other purpose other than pixel hugging. This includes jumping back after bulking and declaring wars.

I want my five minutes back....

Thanks for the update

Yes, we'd like to make this abundantly clear. ❤️

Typical Chach, forgetting about the mighty Jagdpanzer...

TL;DR AT BOTTOM This sounds an awful lot like the military perks suggestion by Viselli. To help summarise why I dislike both ideas, let me quote the great god Sheepy: It seems like Alex is trying to make the game a little easier for these noobs. Adding a whole bunch of confusing mechanics is not going to help with this. That's why I think we should simplify ideas like these. Here's something I posted on the military perks suggestion thread a while back: Simple, intuitive blocs like this will help newbies find their way around and discover their playstyle. TL;DR: Too complicated for the noobs. Building off the built-in, non-functioning Perks system with simpler ideas and "skill trees" (maybe - on the fence about this one...) will be better for people who have just started up their nation.

Literally all of this. Not kidding. I even have a Jed body pillow... WIAT A SCEOND IS HTIS FOR TEH ORBIA AWARDS?1???!!??

Well I know for sure Kilo and HannaH are into each other

Expanding on Epi’s idea, how about an option to increase the number of alliances seen, like the 50 list in trades and all that. Maybe an option to see ALL treaties for all alliances in exsistence, only alliances with treaties, only alliances without treaties, and alliance score pickers by factos of 10k.

Surely Biel should just Disband Venezuela and join BK.

The great Gods of Pantheon watched as the internal fires burned, Matthew frantically running about with a water pistol trying to put them out. “You know what we need?” said Matthew, now lacking eyebrows, “A war”. Rawr and Nomi both shrugged, decided fck it, might was well. They then went about figuring war out. As they were 90 percent stupid, 10 percent good at their respective jobs, 0 percent people who should be taking an alliance to war. The targets then made themselves known. Nova Riata led by the fearsome Pooball was in a pesky mood for revenge. For what we had no idea. Probably something lame. They had boosted their military… a lot fold. Their score had jumped up. Pooball had constantly reminded me that he would nuke me someday (plz no). “Sure, why not.” rawr decided. The Federation was led by… Kosta, cool dude I guess, and they too wanted revenge. Revenge for never getting invited to our League nights. They too went about not sneakily massing troops and score. If they were ninjas it would be the Naruto kind. “Screw it” went rawr. (Or maybe not, but I already wrote all these jokes so this paragraph stays >:^( It was then that I wondered why rawr was so nonchalant about these wars. She’s going to Endgame at turn change. Cri. TLDR: Figure it out for yourselves yeet. (Is it just me or is our flag a lil big. No matter.)

The current treaty web lists all treaties(except PIATs and NAPs). The suggestion is to add buttons so that one can turn treaties on and off if they need to. This way, we can turn off certain treaties(like ODPs or Protectorates) to get a clearer picture of who is in which bloc exactly while at the same time we can only view the treaties we want to view.

These fellas with an alliance score of approximately 1600 may not have experience, or allies or planes but they have the most important thing: A keen sense of honor And In Orbis, we know that honor will take you places....

I'm going to be very sad if they don't leave BK and be their own micro sphere.

Fighting in Nova's Not So Secret War has reminded me how vanilla combat and wars can be in Politics and War. There is a tried and true formula for how to attack. Once an alliance has the upper hand in a war, it becomes very hard for the losing side to regain the initiative or even be competitive. Back in 2015 and 2016, Alex had a few ideas on how to spice up wars and they deserve a second look. First, there was the idea from 2015 for military perks.The concept had 3 perks per unit type, of which you could only select one at a time, which nations could use to specialize their military for a specific fighting style. An example of one of these perks was the Nuclear Powered ships, which was described as "Nuclear Power offers a sustainable energy source for your ships. Nuclear Power eliminates the use of Gasoline by your ships. Upgrading to Nuclear Power will require 10 Uranium per ship in service, and all future ships will cost an additional 10 Uranium when manufactured." Complaints at the time were that most of the perks were offensive in focus. This system is a good idea that will spice up warfare and, if implemented right, could lead to a complex rock-paper-scissors type match ups. The second idea that deserves another look is from 2016. The Black Market was a concept Alex put together where players could buy units off of one another. This helps make wars more dynamic as it potentially could add more value to blockades as well as a potential military perk that involves blockade running. The black market would be a way for nations to buy units to supplement what they could make daily. This helps nations losing a war get back into the fight quickly. This also adds a unique ability to produce raw resources to make units to sell, rather than just selling the resource itself. Feel free to share your own ideas of military perks or ways these systems can be implemented into the game to add diverse tactics and game play. Edit: The perks are already in game https://politicsandwar.com/index.php?id=129 but they need a defensive balance

you 2 need to get a room already yeesh

Ok you triggered Pixel hugger

Hello everyone, This post is entirely OOC, and regardless of ones' thoughts on BK or myself I come to you hoping that the P&W community can come together and support one of their own. Many of you may know @Biel, and his signature line "Disband X and join BK". What you may not know is he is a student in Caracas, Venezuela, and the situation around him has been getting progressively worse. The news stories we read in our news papers are unfortunately tru and Biel is a living, breathing example of how bad it has gotten down there. The true catalyst for this post was Biel recently being injured in the protests, and needing money to help pay for his medical bills. He is likely to need surgery, and given the current events that is a risky proposition. Any bit of foreign money is useful in acquiring the needed aid, as well as providing food for his family. For context, fifty American dollars can provide a meal for his family of four for a month. With this in mind we come before the P&W community to look for help. While I would make a full gofundme, pay pal is ultimately the only way for Biel to actually receive anything as go fund me is not available in Venezuela. If he was to have a gofundme established it would require a BK member establishing one and sending him the money. With that in mind we decided sending any money received directly to Biel is ultimately better for all involved. I have verified his identity and injury personally, and I have also attached pictures to this post to prove the legitimacy of this. If you have further questions regarding this feel free to contact myself or Biel on discord. His PayPal is: [email protected] Thank you for your help and generosity. Any amount truly makes a difference. Picture taken of Guaido during protests. Anti-Maduro soldiers taking the streets. Anti-Maduro solider waving Venezuelan flags.

Using your cost formula, if someone decided to build the arms stockpile at city 30+ their marginal cost would be in the years. This is completely backwards for any project that increases resource production. If you want to stop people from ever buying resource output projects just remove them from the game then.

I will roll whichever alliance picks him up if he's not in TGH.

This idea is effectively just a quality of life improvement. I think the idea of a Color Trade Bloc preventing your nation from being declared on is unintuitive. This proposal is simply to remove the color Beige from the game, and instead add a new separate mechanic for nations to simply be "Protected." It would work exactly the same as Beige (no one can declare war on you, you would lose it if you declared an offensive war, new nations would be marked as "Protected" for 14 days, nations losing a war would get time under "Protected" status.) Benefits to this change would be: More intuitive / easier learning curve for new players New nations can participate in Color Trade Blocs without losing protection Less newbies will accidentally open themselves up to raiding early on Protected status could come with it's own income bonus similar to the existing Color Trade Bloc bonus for Beige. Again, the idea isn't to actually change how the game is played at all, just simplify things and help newbies help themselves.

Wow Dio this is what happens when you retire you stop paying attention to all the major players. He is the leader of THE Centre of Offbeat Powers. Just read their alliance page, "We fight for unity, strength, honor but in the end, we're all fighting for 2 things. The fact that we have power that doesn't quite fit anywhere else other than one were unified and the fact that we fight for the almighty bird known as The Pheonix" Now you might be thinking something like "Isn't that five things not two?" But counting is for chumps not major players which you would know if you weren't retired smh. Also before you say it, they incorrectly spelled the name of their avian deity The Phoenix on purpose to keep their enemies guessing. A genius major player move.. Silly silly man.

Dont get rid of beige, just make beige a regular color bloc we can choose.

I agree with Boris Death to the capitalist pig Well, atleast i can appreciate the good strategy employed by the counters....

I am just going to state now, for the record: I have not been notified of this, and I have not verified anything stated in the OP myself. I would caution everyone to be skeptical and wary of the situation before donating money as a matter of pragmatism and common sense. I am going to inquire further about this, as if this situation is true, I am open to allowing this type of post; however, in general we do not allow solicitation on the forum (or in-game, or on Discord.)

Legitimately got clickbaited by this thread by this profile picture >_>

If you really care about the standards of this community I highly suggest you simply stop acknowledging Akuryo.

It's not about being positive about pantheon, it's about keeping the community alive by keeping a positive attitude with respect to any alliance, even if they may be in a sad state of affairs like pantheon is. 'Why does anyone care about you again?' isn't a great way to keep this community alive, a positive attitude makes this game more fun instead of constantly telling people they are garbage which seems to be all you do on the forums. Hence, positive attitude, as usual.

Looks like Arrgh decided to attack Panth as well and feel better about that very successful raid on Alpha.

Take it easy on @Alexio15, he doesn’t know any better. If anything we should be giving words of encouragement. Good attempt @Alexio15. Picking raid targets can be tough and spinning is even tougher. You’ll get ‘em next time.

Pantheon: *about to get rolled* Rawr: "uh guys? should we do something about that?" The rest of Pantheon: Godspeed Pantheon o7

Unprovoked attack, we had no intentions of attacking our friends at Pantheon. We don't know how they came to this conclusion.

no wonder tcw did so poorly last war, they must've inherited pantheon's lack of milcom

Dw, Aku's a Rose protectorate so just about as relevant

The same way we have bulk import improvements to cities, we should have a "build all cities to X infra/land" button, because when you fight any war with anyone, many or all cities will get hit and than you have to tediously go through every single one and write in dumb numbers like 165.34 or something for all of your cities, in my case 20. It's just quality of life and would be very convenient.

I see someone trying to harness a Daveth for personal gain!

Intergallactic Elephants of doom, how wonderful...

Good luck both of y.... wait a minute..

Still on the to-do list, just hasn't been a very high priority.
