This thread is for the further development and recruitment of Conquest: Nation Domination. The OP of the primary thread is always up to date and will provide all information needed.

Once we begin, this thread will shift towards a planning and current events purpose.

As stated in the Subject, a string of more than three off-topic posts will lead to a ban from play, moderation, and considerable disciplinary action.
The RP forum has been cracked down on, and we need to show we can have fun without going wild.

In other news, I made the port city of Mishagehn. What are your thoughts?

**Kasrkai**

Alright, everyone's getting a bit confused.

You can have one simple Discovery, such as OIL, YES YOU INEPTUS

one Alliance, provided it's mutual, or one Declaration of War, provided it's mutual. We've yet to start, which may happen as early as tomorrow.

I just need us a bit more organized.

**ineptus astartes**

already I lend to the universe!
this contains a detalied map of mt provinces as well as the main cities for each (they are forts as well)

**Kasrkai**

I approve of this strongly. I won't make the interior of your nation, as I want this to be user driven. Establishing roads and cities is a good step, Ineptus.

**ineptus astartes**

WEST HARAD

yellow: path/dangarouse road

black: established road

tan:beaten path

white: nothing at all

blue spots: cities

red spots: towns

**Nicholas**

Navar's fixed up the old roads of Rome to use as major roads. I don't know how to edit the image to add cities, but we have four major ones the capital is on the green dot under the N, Duraz. Another is where Brundisium used to be it's on the heel of the boot if you don't know where that is, Centi. One is on the far left coast of Sicily, Tacz. The last is built on the foundations of Florence which is in central Italy, Ferans.

Duraz is where the initial council was formed. It is now the central Naval power developing new ships designed for different functions whether it be military, fishing or exploring.

Centi was built as a Naval base to hold off raids from Awecur while Navar was growing. Now since neither country holds hostility it has flourished into a great center of trade and art.

Tacz was the second city built by Navar. It controls the farmlands that cover most of Sicily and Southern Italy.

Ferans is more of a fortress than a city. It is where a majority of the soldiers are trained. They also are second in production of the cannons used by Navar.

**ineptus astartes**

no firearms, Nick. catapults mainly

**The Bringer**

Kasrkai, I would like to change my main export to livestock, as I don't need it really. I would like to keep all metalworking goods safe within my tunnels, unless it is horrifically outdated.

**ineptus astartes**

and I see your map. but do not understand.

I was told I could have crude cannons as it is the basis of my entire army strategy. The map is the main roads in my country the rest is a description of my cities

why not draw all that on big map like us?

Don't really know how. My computer doesn't have many programs for that stuff, mainly just internet and Word

**ineptus astartes**

I use photoshop

advancement: gunpowder? as in muskets?

failing that...A rifle LIKE weapon that uses the same mechanics as a slingshot and a locking mechanism. a long rod is used to push the ball and the (rubber bandy things fixed to the front) dow to the bottom of the barrel. where pulling the trigger lifts the lock and rockets the lead shot out of the barrel at incredibly high speeds but is a lot quieter and easier to load than a musket. as well as having no discharge to compensate for a slightly decreased range. had that idea in my head for almost a YEAR.

LCK. oil does not give enough power under those circumstances, it is hard to get normal oil to combust. it would launch it maybe three feet at most if you are really lucky.

I patent my idea BTW (it would have a REALY long barrel)

So a crossbow that shoots balls

**ineptus astartes**

no. it looks like a tallarn rifle and uses a rubber-bandy thing to give it enough power to punch through armor.

LCK. oil-guns would not be physically possible. the compression ratio is not even enough to send it three inches

It actually would be I believe - but it is by no means practical.

You could have a large combustion chamber funnel into a thin barrel... but it would take large amounts of oil and be cumbersome.

**Nicholas**

Okay I have a better picture of it now. Also if Karskai doesn't like everyone getting guns and stuff to compete with the cannons I'll give them up for some kind of cool catapult then advance like everyone else

**ineptus astartes**

meh. you could call what I use the old-days version of a rail-rifle (also. oil is only used for slow burning. each shot would take enough oil to fill up a lascannon power pack. and only be good for miniballs

**ineptus astartes**

diamonds? (my continent is FILLED with the!)

**Toastedandy**

Updated the map of Awecur. The purple represents high levels of radiation.

**ineptus astartes**

Nice map. What about roads?

**Toastedandy**

Sound man, I added some roads, I'm going to expand on the history of the land, and add in some political shenanigans, rebellions, uprisings etc

**The Bringer**

If it helps, I could map out the 7 major cities of Drinnshleik, and than give a rough map of major highways.

**ineptus astartes**

what I mapped are the provinces. and province capitals

but the one after that was a pic of western Harad

**The Bringer**

This is a map of the capitols and major highways, though there are nigh infinite roads everywhere.

**Kasrkai**

Rejoice, for I come again.

I'll update the map. SO, what do we have for our ONE advancement?

And Ineptus, a rubber-band gun is silly. You don't have rubber. Yet.

**ineptus astartes**

(I meant something stretchy like leather)

I call diamonds

also i did some geographical research. there is not only a helluva lot of SAND here but a whole crapload of JUNGLE too...so yeah. desert raiders AND jungle fighters!

**Kasrkai**

Accepted. Sell diamonds. Acquire currency. Buy weapons and food. Invade Naval.

ECONOMY!

**Kasrkai**

Le map update: Threw in two NPC nations for flavor, left some room for new players/nation expansion.

On another note, I think everyone's itching to start, so as soon as Mordoskul maps the inside of his nation, we can go ahead and start.
