Raoul Duke

It was the law of the sea they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain and not always right at the top. Hunter S. Thompson

The Horsemen exist (Kinda). We gave Alex 5 dollars a few months ago and he let us have access to something called a “control panel”. Government Death – Horseman of Death-big death fan - Eats dead animals and wears their skins. Raoul Duke – Horseman of Conquest - Mostly sells lead and futilely repairs infra damage. Doctor Famine – Horseman of Famine – Illiterate Farmer Trojan – Horseman of War – Bleeding heart pacifist and conscientious objector Tuck – Horseman of Pestilence – Crazed sociopath and mostly inactive-Does not (that I know of) have AIDS. We are the premier non-knight-dragon-free-horse-based alliance in all of Orbis. Sure Just like you, we have access to nuclear weapons and state of the art imaginary jets but we mostly prefer to think of ourselves as 13th-15th century semi-gothic tyrants with flaming swords. Our actual governing style is straightforward: We buy your fist few cities and once you have obtained a modicum of power, you may slip off quietly in the night and join TKR or BK. According to an ancient text I was forced to read as a child we are supposed to usher in The Apocalypse but thus far we have been distressingly Apocalypse free and I’m afraid of horses. My cousin was once kicked in the chest by a horse. They also bite. Male horses are rapists.

I think hastily constructed steel fortifications laced with munitions and gasoline are more effective when trying to stop 85 ton tanks. I just use the power cosmic anyway.

I like the change to fortify. Perhaps it should take resources to fortify as well. If you're building fortifications to keep the enemy out, you are going to have to use something to construct those fortifications. Change to infra costs: It doesn't seem to be too drastic so it shouldn't hurt but only help the smaller nations. Once they reach a higher level they will encounter the same obstacles as before. Works for me. Just don't change baseball.
