Artifex

I want a Nazi sphere to form, and I want the Nazis and soviets to form the Molotov Pact, annex a BK protectorate together, and eventually betray each other during the ensuing war. Too bad Nazi alliances aren't allowed while soviet ones are for some reason. (Because Alex is a marxist.)

Congrats to peace, it was a... Long and bloody conflict?

You're all ungrateful little rats, and because of this, you'll all be reduced to nothing when Leo remakes PnW in his image.

It's Halloween time dude, stop being such a buzzkill.

Very nice. Reminds me of how I switched from Firefox to Chrome just so I could use https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader

IQ is Coalition B, Memesphere, KERCHTOG, Syndisphere, Farksphere, Chaos, KETOGG, Alex, Sheepy, you, and me. Also yey NAP. War won't be dragged on even longer!

With our powers combined... We form a slightly less micro, micro!

How did you guys lose to Empyrea? I mean, even on their best day they're not the sharpest knife in the kitchen, and they've been rulers of a bombed out wasteland for a few months now.

tfw tgh is a micro now

Sick dig tbh.

Yes, in fact WW2 Soviet tank factories in PnW numbers (205) could make 41,569 tanks in a month.

I don't know what is off about them, they're correct based off GFP's numbers, and I put down the wrong population for USA, but fortunately I still used the correct number for the ratio calculation. Well, I appreciate it, but would be nice if I didn't just get an A for effort, ya' know? lol Probably not the time or place, lol. In time though, brother. I plan on doing more of these comparisons and bad analysis in the future. Starting with more seemingly easy number translations like these. Next will probably involve soldiers and munition usage.

Below is bad analysis and comparison of PnW and real world military production and standings. Proceed at your own peril. Fun data sources: Modern stats: https://www.globalfirepower.com/armor-tanks-total.asp WW2 production stats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_production_during_World_War_II Soviet tank factories: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Soviet_tank_factories USA WW2 aircraft factories: http://acepilots.com/planes/factory.html Note: Tanks listed below includes only combat tanks, not armored fighting vehicles. Also, sources aren't cited when used, but it shouldn't be difficult detecting when each is used. Some modern stats Russia 21,932 tanks 142,122,776 people 6,480.155754149188 people per tank China 13,050 tanks 1,384,688,986 people 106,106.4357088123 people per tank USA 329,256,465 people 6,287 tanks 52,370.99809129951? people per tank North Korea 25,381,085 people 6,075 tanks 4,177.956378600823 people per tank India 1,296,834,042 people 4,184 tanks 309,950.7748565966 people per tank Israel 8,424,904 people 2,760 tanks 3,052.502536231884 people per tank Ethiopia 108,386,391 people 800 tanks 135,482.98875 people per tank Some observations. The most populous nation in PnW at the time of typing is Wampus (16235) at 20,358,053 people. If the above ratios were used to determine this nation's standing tank count, it would be somewhere between 60 and 7000. Currently this nation is 43,050 tanks strong. A number equal to about half of the total amount of tanks USA produced during WW2. Also worth note is how Wampus has 206 factories to Soviet Union's ten during WW2. Soviets of which made 119,769 tanks through the whole of WW2 using only those ten factories. If Wampus was able to make tanks as effectively as Soviets per factory, his 205 factories would have produced him 2,467,056 tanks throughout WW2. Additionally, USA had 40 aircraft factories during WW2, while Wampus has 205 facilities capable of aircraft production. 295,959 aircraft were made by the US by those 40 factories, and again if Wampus could produce at the same rate per production facility, he could have made 1,516,789 aircraft throughout the entirety of WW2. If we are to assume 7.5 days pass with each update, with each factory producing 50 tanks each update, each PnW factory is producing 6.67 tanks each ingame PnW day. If one factory were to produce at that rate for a year, it would produce 2,433 tanks. If all of Wampus's factories were to produce at that rate for a year, they would produce 498,833 tanks. Keeping in mind that the Soviets produced 119,769 tanks throughout about five years of WW2. That's each factory producing about 65 tanks a day compared to Wampus's 6.67 tanks a day. Real life tank factories are ten times more efficient than Orbis factories going by these numbers. Similarly, one aircraft production facility in PnW can produce 0.4 aircraft a day while a USA factory can produce about 4 aircraft a day. Again the ten times efficiency difference comes up. And let us not overlook how Wampus has 43k tanks but only 3.6k aircraft while every major military power during WW2 made just as many planes as tanks if not more and all modern major military powers at worse keep a ratio of about 1 plane for every 4 tanks. A possible disclaimer being many of those WW2 planes were trainers. Thank you Wampus for being an example, and congrats on having such a big nation! Some thoughts. Populations of nations in Orbis is funky. I'd be curious to see the total world population. Relative to RL historic factory counts, the amount of factories present in Wampus's nation is incredibly high. Relative to RL historic factory production, the factories present in Wampus's nation are incredibly inefficient. Relative to RL historic numbers, the ratio of aircraft and tanks present in Wampus's nation is incredibly skewed. Relative to RL modern military standings, Wampus's standing military is incredibly high. The amount of tanks a nation can house probably isn't related to the number of factories they have but probably more related to their storage ability. Some questions. How would a PnW with ten times more efficient factories look? How would a PnW with ten times fewer factories look? How would a PnW with five times the current aircraft count look? Would it be more fun to increase the importance of factories by limiting their number per city to say one? Would it be more fun to be able to produce more military, faster? Would it be more fun if military capacity wasn't linked to military production? I wonder if manufacturing and trading military units would be fun or fit? I will conclude by saying now that PnW is a nation simulator or at least I believe it is, so looking at real world examples to build and design its mechanics isn't unprecedented and actually should be expected.

Big surprise, a rushed feature without any thought you pushed out on a whim didn't fit or work well. Now you want to turn back the clock eh? Ain't that easy sweet cheeks. You want to get rid of baseball? Replace it with something better.

Welcome to the other part of the war, brothers.

This is hilarious. You know, I dislike both NPO and GOONS for being overly PC, but this flex and delivery was just great. Additionally, the dangerously low number of !@#$ NPO apparently gives as of late is just great. I've decided to post this everytime Roq styles on everyone. The frequency of which will probably only increase with the arrival of his clone guinea pig army.

Wth, why is your profile picture not a guinea pig???

This will not end well for you, Starks. GLHF, tho

Thought the point was that hypocrisy was happening because you say one side was both harboring and attacking war dodgers? If what you say are war dodgers are in fact not war dodgers, doesn't that make your point moot? Correct me verbosely please if I'm wrong here. I do like the logic that Coal B was already at war with the war dodgers, so therefore committed no unprovoked act of aggression towards t$.

Well, one crusade against injustice and war dodger harboring at a time. Of course all inhabitants of evil will be put to the sword eventually, but it just wouldn't be practical for the forces of good and righteousness to fight them all at once. ? TMC is what I assume you're referring to as an alliance of war dodgers. That is far different from what we currently face. There's ample evidence that this alliance was planning on forming before the war was even rumored. Poorly timed? Perhaps. Pure war dodging? I don't think so. No need for hard language.

1. War dodgers exist. 2. Coal B attacks them as all war dodgers should be. 3. t$ defends war dodgers, an illegitimate move in my eyes. 4. Coal B defends against t$ aggression and illegitimate counters. 5. t$ calls in allies to help defend war dodgers. There's no feckin' way you're serious, t$. They're WAR DODGERS. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU HARBORED THEM???

Oh boy, a year long treaty thrown out the window because OotWR couldn't stand to fight in a war with their allies for one more minute. Good luck with Syndisphere 2.0 Or is it the Pacificsphere, now?

Why bother posting this? What's the point?

Remember pic related? lol
