  1. More CN transplants, great, said nobody ever. People do not want more mechanics from a dead game. While treasures may not be perfect, they add a layer to the game that actually makes you put in the effort to acquire them. Trading treasures was also a layer of the game that added content until it was forbidden without a replacement. The player base is simply asking for a way to trade them, as promised.

  3. It would be really nice if the war screen showed the military counts for you and your opponents. Eliminate the need for a personal war sheet or a ton of tabs open to check all these things. Edit: Apologies, I just realized this wasn't the war screen but the page leading to each of the individual military purchase pages but I'll leave the above anyways because it's still a good suggestion that people have wanted for a couple years now. For the military page, it would be nice if maybe instead of seven individual pages and the guide to each of them, we just had one page with all military purchase options on it.

  5. Please, can we try to avoid replicating more of the mechanics of that game here? CN trading circles were an interesting thing, sure, but PnW has a dynamic market system and far more options for players to try to obtain a better setup for themselves and their friends. CN trading circles, even after they were changed to allow nations to set their own resources, were a mess to deal with, and certain national combinations were disadvantaged simply from the luck of the draw mechanically to even begin with (I had Lead/Oil, which doomed me to a half-decent inflexible circle if I wanted anything halfway decent, instead of something truly good for any situation, but even that was more palatable than people who drew something like Furs/Lead which was totally useless). Fortunately, we do not have a similar mechanic in this game which can advantage or disadvantage nations on the sheer luck of RNG from the founding of your nation.

  6. a Knightly Association: Radiant Empire Notification Preamble The Knights Radiant and The Imperium enter into this treaty of mutual defense, to be referred to as K.A.R.E.N. Article I: That’s So Fetch! The Knights Radiant and The Imperium, referred to hereafter as the Signatories, come together to proclaim that “Fetch” is made an official word of both the Empire and Roshar. All followers of the sacred slang shall be granted Pax Romana such that no hostile actions are taken. Any disagreements on how and when “Fetch” should be said will be handled through the local oathkeeper. Article II: I’ll Speak to the Manager Both Signatories agree to share all relevant information, even complaints about the feckless employees. It is agreed that no whining nor passive-aggressiveness shall be included in the exchange of gossip on the size of that gurl’s assets. The Signatories are also encouraged to share technological and monetary techniques, including but not limited to roads, winemaking, and surges of adhesion. Article III: Isn’t my Haircut Great? Should either Signatory come under attack, the other Signatory pledges to do whatever it takes to help them get their way. Yes, even if that means we have to deal with people “who are just doing their job.” A Signatory does not have to send the radiant legions if this call is due to a Signatory's other obligations towards, or actions undertaken on behalf of, a third party. Article IV: I’m No Basic B*tch Should either Signatory wish to show their true colors, the treaty may be canceled at any time with the proper displays of privilege to the other alliance, followed by 72 hours of going to successively higher levels of management. After the 72 hours have elapsed, K.A.R.E.N will no longer be an official meme. /s/ The Knights Radiant Queen of the Heralds: BennyBoop Princess of the Heralds: Revolution’s Harbinger Herald of Foreign Affairs: Boops Herald of War: ARRROOOOO Herald of Growth: Shroominator Herald of Internal Affairs: The Wise L /s/ The Imperium Emperor: Fake Boss Regent: Shopping Cart Manager Primarch of Milcom: Babysitter Primarch of Internal Affairs: Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg

  8. Hello Orbis, If you do not know I am the abomination of a nation that is loosely based off of West Virginia (okay not loosely), Kanawha. Although Kanawha has been around a tiny bit longer than the newest nations on the game (those who are probably just joining within the last few months), I am happy to say that Kanawha is going to be celebrating 1 Year on the platform in 11 Days (Maybe 12 cause I have no clue what timezone the server for the game is in.) Upcoming I am also celebrating another large milestone (personally for me) around December when My NationStates Nation, Which everything but the politics is based off of Ukraine, is turning (I believe) 5 years Old!!! (Yay balloons and sarcasm). I know: EWWW A MULTIPLATFORMER... But NS Still makes me laugh and I enjoy it too as much as I enjoy Politics & War. Before I end this very first forums post, I'd like to leave you with some small facts about Kanawha. - In Character/RP perspectives, Kanawha actually isn't a Sovereign Nation, but in fact a colony of [REDACTED] - Kanwaha suffered its first nuclear strike as a result of the Coal Revolution in the City of Nitro, and you can say it was a 'miner' inconvenience. - Kanawha's largest production is munitions, while its largest consumed resource in amount is Lead (Go Figure) - (And Finally) Kanawha is named after the Kanawha River that runs from Gauley Bridge, WV (at the end of the Gauley and New Rivers) to Henderson/Point Pleasant, WV emptying into the Ohio River.

  9. More-so the attacking side... in the reason of war it makes it evident that the attacker has no plans of winning the war, and during the war he doesn't launch a single attack. I think that the defender's side is likely in the clear of this situation. The defender here of course beiging (it feels good to be able to say that again) the attacker. The attacker though declared without any intent to attack, and didn't attack... (I mostly included the defender's link just to have both parties linked, I'm not entirely sure the proper etiquette, but I assumed it as such. I have since edited out the defender's link from the initial report)

  10. Cracks Knuckles I didn't know there was ever a time we weren't friends. Yeah, so now this is the part where we don't talk to the rest of the family, except to ask our parents for help. jk to the above. I am very grateful that TKR has given us this opportunity; I am surprised we made it this far and it wouldn't have been withouth the support of you guys, and our high gov. I look forward to seeing how this develops in the future. Waves

  11. I would echo Scarfy here. If you have suggestions for the game, you should feel free to bring them up. That is part of what makes the community great.

  12. Hey now, don't even worry about it. That particular suggestion isn't going to fit in this game for very important reasons, but that's no reason to feel bad about speaking your mind. Mistakes are the only way to learn after all

  15. This post ended up being a lot longer than I intended but this is a massively complicated and nuanced subject. Thanks Hodor for replying to me and here is my response to you. I believe I take an adversarial position to you and I hope to use this post to explain why I feel and think the way I do. Your post was respectful and reasonable and I hope mine comes across the same way. It will only be through proper dialogue between reasonable people conducted in good faith that issues like this can be resolved and a pathway into a brighter future can be established. Anyways, here it is: - The cops don't go around killing black people extrajudicially for fun, though. Officer Derek's knee-neck thing on Floyd was unjust and should be punished, but that example is the exception and not the norm. In Alabama, Rayshard Brooks resisted arrest, stole a cop's taser, tried to flee, then shot the taser at a cop. In response, the cops shot and killed Brooks. All on camera from police body cams or the cameras outside the Wendy's this took place at. Rayshard Brooks had a criminal record and was committing a crime at the time of the offense. In response to this shooting, the Wendy's was burnt down by a mob and other rioting occurred. In Kenosha, Jacob Blake got in trouble in the first place because "...Blake wasn't supposed to be there, and that he had taken the complainant's keys and refused to give them back." (Source on quote) He ignored the police as they told him to stop walking to his car. He went to the driver's side door and reached in. That's why they shot him. He had a warrant out for felony sexual assault. He's still alive but paralyzed from the waist down. In response to this, Kenosha had riots, looting, and another high-profile shooting. Even with George Floyd, he was a felon for pointing a gun at a pregnant woman's belly. He acted weird during his arrest and was restrained for it. Derek did put his knee on his neck for longer than he should've and that did probably kill him, but Floyd also had meth in his system alongside 3 times the lethal limit of fentanyl. In response to this, the country has been on fire and racial tensions are the worst they've ever been. If you don't want the police to shoot you or use force against you, then don't resist arrest and cooperate with police. I really don't give a shit about criminals who end up dead or injured because they didn't listen to police. It isn't a race thing either. If a local white guy around me ended up dead because they didn't cooperate with police, I wouldn't care. The police don't shoot people for sport. They shoot people because they have to make split-second decisions on rather or not someone presents a threat and if they make the wrong call, they're dead, their wives become widows, and their kids lose their father. Yes, you have 'bad cops' (I use quotes because sometimes I wonder if they're all bad) that will shoot for fun and that do use excessive force when it's not required. Those cops should be punished and lose their jobs (like Derek in Floyd's case). For a good example of how split-second these decisions are, check out this video of an activist and news anchor going trough use of force training. These are the situations cops are in and they have to make the best decisions for themselves, their families, and their communities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfi3Ndh3n-g Police Activity is a YouTube archive of notable police footage (usually from body cams). Most videos are of cops killing/shooting people. I've watched lots of videos and the people in them would still be alive if they cooperated with police and didn't reach for things or use weapons against cops: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXMYxKMh3prxnM_4kYZuB3g Now, with all that being said, I have disdain for the police. I don't like police and this post isn't me playing Cop Internet Defense Force. All cops should wear body cameras and be charged should they commit a serious screw up (Like Derek in the Floyd situation). I can go into the many reasons why I don't like cops and why reform is needed, but that's another 3 paragraphs I don't want to type out. This post is long enough. It sucks that we can't have a perfect police nationwide that doesn't do anything wrong, but we are imperfect creatures and we don't operate at 100% reasonable efficiency all the time. I've personally never had a bad encounter with the police and hope never to have one (I also don't plan on breaking the law and I have never broken the law. I would assume there's a strong correlation here). As for BLM, I don't give a shit about them either. The Kentucky/Lexington branch seems fine (I saw their list of demands and it was just stuff about police accountability). It's a mostly decentralized organization anyways so it's hard to criticize broadly. However, I am disgusted and angered with the state of affairs. In cities all across the United States, there is rioting, looting, violence, and nothing is really done about it locally. Minneapolis, Portland, Chicago, New York City, Kenosha; all of these cities have been torched because of 'muh racism' or something. In all these cities, people chant BLM slogans and the unrest occurs as a result of these perceived racial-based killings (which I already explained why I think that's faulty thinking). The local governments do nothing to stop the unrest. President Trump has offered to use the National Guard, and the local/state politicians either whine before finally letting them in or completely reject the help. I don't even know why those businesses are paying taxes if the government isn't going to do anything about the crime. Speaking of the politicians and government, they all love the unrest. The American left is almost completely complacent in it all. I think Biden recently finally said 'hey knock it off' but the leftwing in this country either don't speak up about it, nominally endorse it, or are completely in support of all the unrest. What kind of clown country do we live in that our politicians are endorsing widespread unrest in their own communities? The Black Lives Matter and/or Antifa sticker is attached to all of this chaos and I am against it completely. Let's reform the police. Outside of police interactions, let's find ways to raise up the American black community from the troubles they face in their communities. Let's end racism. There's nothing wrong with those things. However, don't make martyrs out of criminals, and don't go out and burn down the town because criminals get shot or killed for not cooperating with police. TLDR: Police violence and abuse is a problem. It's not just a black problem, though. Police violence effects everyone and should be addressed. However, the cases being pointed to are horrible examples due to their circumstances and the 'victims' are not sympathetic and are bad people themselves. The violence and unrest occurring in major cities is a much bigger problem I'm concerned with and it appears BLM/Antifa are behind these and those organizations are tainted because of it.

  18. In the dev team, Alex and Prefontaine have indicated their intention to remove the treasure mechanic altogether, and replace it with a new feature called luxury resources, which is similar to CyberNation's resource system (each nation has two and you can do trade deals to access others)
