Bringing over The Old Gang?

[swamphen]

"Greetings Weblings."

A fresh start is one way to break the writer's blockade...

[Borys]

Ahoj!
BoP seems a safe bet - he knows the world.
From what I gather he never learnt the rules :) so the switch will come easily to him :D

For those of you familiar with Wesworld, I'm thinking that Perdedor (WW Peru) might be worth approaching.  Ditto Psilander - his interest in Scandinavia might translate into a candidate for the Baltic League (or whatever replaces it).

Don't know if Hood or ShinRa would be interested and able to spare the time, but may be worth asking.

I was going to suggest head-hunting LTJim from Bob's BC board, but then remembered that we have enough trouble getting LettersTime out of him as it is.

[Borys]

Ahoj!
I had tried to lure Psilander, but failed. Maybe you'll have more luck.

Hood expressed some "don't tempt me..." type interest when I pitched N-verse 2.0 to him, so perhaps he might be lured into N2.5...

[Ithekro]

What about Walter?  "Real" Japanesims

[P3D]

Merged with a similar thread.

[Borys]

Ahoj!
I think I recruited a CSA player. Carthaginian from WarshipProjects.
And a bloke on the "old" board was asking about the Baltic League ...

Good, good... :)

As a note...although I would prefer to start a fresh country, if somebody else would desire to port the DKB and run it themselves, I wouldn't object.

[Ithekro]

I would recommend a retcon for the DKB as you could, in theory, have a lot of new lands to expand into, and thus not be stuck with islands, but with the beginning of a whole continent to conquor in the name of Germany.

[swamphen]

Hmmm, very tempting...

(Wasn't that the original idea for "Brandenburg" back when dinosaurs roamed the WesWorld?)

Of course I'd need a larger fleet...  ;D

[Desertfox]

Your right Rocky, however we must be careful about who we invite. The pack from Wesworld are OK as is Carthaginian.

New Continents to conquer? Tempting to say the least, now new island that would be perfect, a true New Switzerland...

[Ithekro]

Well if we go the fantasy route, we will be able to use our imaginations a little more openly.  We'll still have restrictions otherwise we'll get 1960s Cold War superpowers in the 1890s and not be able to stop them.  While the tech tree is nice and has paid off for Rohan when it plays the tech rolling game, it is not perfect.  However with a larger planet we might be able to justify some extraordinary technology at the expense of other technologies due to isolation, necessity, and/or ancient cultures, though that doesn't always mean much....as the Greeks would have invented the steam engine (actaully they did, but it was a novelty that went nowhere), or Leonardo with his advanced technology designs that point the way, but never get all the way there for hundreds of years.  Rohan is ahead in some areas of technology at present, but is (or was) behind in many others before tech trading began.  Some nations would follow different paths of technology due to something not being introduced to their land (such as steam not being overtaken by internal combustion engines maybe, or oil burners invented due to the region not having any access to coal ever, but still crude in use and or heavy on sail power.  There are lots of possibilities without taking things our beyond 1910 technology, or even modernizing old technologies within the bounds of reason.

Would we start then again in an earlier time ?

[Earl822]

I think 1898 is good, much earlier and otherwise we'll all have ironclads like HMS Captain, and thus an awful lot of expensive failures.
We may want to take sometime when we first start out to specify exactly what our nations think of each other, and be careful that we don't treaty ourselves into a cold war, and be careful not to be overly mouthing off, remembering that international diplomacy takes time, even with Marconi sets.
