[Jefgte]

I have made quickly a SS (end of page2)...

84 000t

84 000 tons isn't that much for the BP's of Glorious France, but it will take 7 years and 9 month to finish.

The world 24,000 years ago.

It omits the glaciers, but still is a good illustration of what the world looked like then.
BTW - the Bad el-Mandeb does exist, as it is 135 metres deep - but too small to show up that map.
Also, I believe that there was a river flowing out of the Black Sea into the Aegan. Plus a couple of Belgium or Hungary sized lakes in the Sahara ...

A larger copy, if anybody's interested:

Thanks Borys

It 's perhaps interresting to made other NV Navalism with this kind of map, or older or again in the futur.

I'd been intending to suggest that Navalism IV take place in the Jurassic, actually. ^_^

[TexanCowboy]

Ohhhh........ I was thinking more on the moon.  :)

...Navalism IV take place in the Jurassic...

DD = raptor
cruiser = allosaur
battleships = T rex

Peru use in that period
4 T rex
6 alosaurs
18 raptors

But what would we use to build the dinosaurs? Would we have "Breeding Facilites" instead?

:D :D :D :D :D :D

Somehow I think P3D is going to reincarnate and get all mad at us...  :D

[Valles]

You're silly.

The other option I'd considered was a terraformed Venus, so. Just... someplace more interesting than Earth, but not requiring torturous weirdness and alterations.

[TexanCowboy]

I was actually thinking of a world set in the 1890's where Russia had couquered Germany, and France was like in this timeline, sorta a repeat of Nverse II, but more defined toward Russia.

David Drake put out a couple of novels in the '90s centred on a terraformed Venus.  Everybody lived in submarine habitats, because the surface was uninhabitable (mutated flora and fauna - extremely violent) and staged battles of mercenery fleets were used to decide conflicts.  Always thought that'd be a neat sim premise.
