Battle for Earth Revised (Map Game)

This is the Battle for Earth Revised Map Game! As some of you might know, the Battle for Earth map game slowly died off, and now Scrawland and I are trying to revive it in all its potential glory. Please obey the rules, and have the most fun possible!

The POD is the same. Human nations detect an unidentified object crashing onto Mars and exploding. While the Americans blamed the Soviets and vice versa, it became clear that neither side was capable of such a thing.

Meanwhile, the various Alien nations discovered what had happened, and in the process stumbled upon Earth. Now the Aliens debate on what to do with the planet and its newly discoved inhabitants, and tensions rise between them...

Rules

 * 1) Please obey the word of the mods and the following rules.
 * 2) While it is an ASB game, please try to be as plausible as possible.
 * 3) You may play as one Alien race and one Human nation.
 * 4) Turns are in quarter years, or three months.
 * 5) If you are playing as a Human nation, please pay attention to what happens on Earth. If the United States decides to focus completly on Space exploration, then chances are the Soviets will take over the world.
 * 6) Please refrain from destroying celestial objects. You can use the action as a threat, however.
 * 7) Please do not uplift Humans too quickly.
 * 8) The oldest an Alien nation can be is 45 million years.
 * 9) Alien nations cannot have intergalactic technology unless they are several billion years old. Point is, no intergalactic travel.
 * 10) There will be an algorithim for planetary wars. There will be no algorithim for space battles, so you must be incredibly plausible.
 * 11) Mods should not gang up on non-mod players.
 * 12) Just because your ability is unique does not mean that it is invincible.
 * 13) If they want, mods have ancient races that can be the oldest at 40-45 million years old. As a result, they automatically have Hyperdrive engines and can choose another ability.
 * 14) If you have any doubts or questions, ask a mod.
 * 15) That should be all the rules. Have fun!

Map
There will be two maps. One of the Milky Way Galaxy, and the other of Earth. Should we need any more, then then we will add them.



Complaints

 * STOP DELETING THE THALMOR!!!!! -MP
 * Sorry MP, but he has to get the full size picture. Also, It is quite near implausible and impossible to be where they are. On the edge of an arm.

 * Having a home planet on the arm is not impossible at all. And if that were the case, then the Terran Empuire would have to move as well. Monster Pumpkin 00:15, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, the Thalmors were on the tip, right at the edge of galactic space. The Terrans are safe, in the middle. They aren't at the very tip of the galaxy. Aside from all that, it's a hell to fix the map when people don't use the full size map.

 * I get the part of the map size, I'm not arguing against that. They might have to move their homeworld, but their entire empire? Not really. Monster Pumpkin 00:20, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I just meant the home world. [[Image:IMPERIAL NY-SPQR 1.png|25px]][[Image:Regen Flag.png|30px|border]] Syngraféas Enallaktikí̱ Istoría, Dic mihi lingua Anglorum. 00:22, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

The Game
The game will start as soon as we have enough mods and potential players.

''' The game may now start, as we have enough mods and players! Good luck to you all! '''

1965.25
''' The Soram government sends a few spacecraft to investigate the disappearance of a ship sent to explore the Sol System. '''


 * Itbriell: The Itbriell recieve information of a lost spacecraft in the Sol System and send ships to investigate.
 * Regenetech Empire:
 * April: By Imperial Order, a probe is sent to the Sol System nearby to investigate the recent crash. It is found that humanity, long observed by the Empire, has only recently begun to explore space and has just created nuclear weapons and has entered a Cold War.
 * May: Emperor Vlasvar VI dies and his son Byslank III takes over. The Lukz'ab Army runs into an Azanarian Fleet at the border between the two nations. Nine more probes are sent to the Sol System to observe what is happening on Earth.
 * June: The residents of the Former Ill'bank Federal Empire celebrate their incorporation into the Regenetech Empire. Crown Prince Vlasvar and the Imperial Advancement and Engineering Agency develops several new military tactics and weapons.
 * Early July: The Empire begins construction on a small space station in the Far Outer Sol System, in the Oort Cloud.
 * Nova Empire: The Novans begin research into military tactics and weaponry, but a few funds are placed into self-sufficiency. Probes are sent to the Sol System to discover Earth, the two powerful nations of America and Soviet Union, and nuclear weapons.
 * South Korea: South Korea begins to place soldiers on the DMZ and begins research into ballistic missiles, advance communications, and begins to build a satellite.
 * Senegal: A new president is elected. In a speech to a crowd in Dakar, the capital, he declares "Our fair country was once part of a mighty empire, right here in western Africa. The world has forgotten what we can do, what we are capable of achieving. We shall return to our former glory!" He initiates a large tax break for Senegalese citizens who start their own companies within the nation, and he proposes a plan to build coed schools around the country.
 * Dravimosian Empire: 
 * April: The Dravimosian government hears of the Soram government ship disappearing in the Sol System. They send two Xeraji scout ships to investigate, and several automatons land and take surveillance photos. They also gather several examples of armor plating and circuitry to examine them.
 * May: A scout ship enters a new system near the Dresh home system, and it seems that a species is in that system. The government plans to contact them soon.
 * June: Scientists upgrade Dravimosian Automatons, and as a result their shields and response time are improved.
 * Regenetech? Are we near the Dresh homeworld? There's a yellow dot quite near us. :)
 * No, the Dresh are a species in the Dravimosian Empire.
 * No no, you said "A scout ship enters a new system near the Dresh home system, and it seems that a species is in that system. The government plans to contact them soon." Is that a species of the Empire or one of the other player nations or the Soram Empire?
 * Oh, I get it. No, since we have borders with both you and the Soram Empire, the Dravimos know both. It is a hopefully a-soon-to-be member species of the empire.
 * Oh, ok then. On the side, can we have a formal alliance then?
 * Regenetech Diplomacy: The Empire offers an alliance to the Dravimos.
 * Dravimosian Diplomacy: The Dravimos accept.
 * USA: the USA finds strange crater markings that look almost artificial on the surface of Mars. it is confirmed that it is an artificial spacecraft. Spy networks are put on alert in the Soviet Union to find if the USSR is the cause of this (USSR does not know of this) Current OTL spaceprograms continue with the same successes and/or failiures they had in OTL.
 * Peregrini: the Peregrini hear a rumor that a Soram spacecraft crashed in the Sol System. this does not concern the Peregrini, as the system has been reasearched before. a planet there was recorded as having sentinient life, however, a mutant strain of bacteria from the Peregrini homeworld wiped out all inhabitants beyond recovery. though it has been several centuries before a circumnavigation of the galaxy has been attempted by the peregrini (which takes years without hyperdrive), the damage caused was so great that scientists are certian the inhabitants have been wiped out.
 * Soviet Union: The Soviet Union also detects the object crashing into Mars, and they step up their space program as a result.
 * Canada:
 * April: Canada starts a space agency called the CSA, or the Canadian Space Agency. Canada decides to start a mission to Mars owing to recent developments. The Prime Minister agrees to create the Ares project, the first mission to Mars.
 * May: The first Canadian satellite is launched into orbit. The CSA starts looking into building a space station and/or bases on the Moon and Mars. A launch pad is built in Newfoundland. Another is built on Baffin Island.
 * June: Canada continues research into the Ares program and asks if plans for America's Apollo rockets can be loaned to the CSA. More development is put into the idea of a space station.
 * Early July: Preparations for the first launch of the first Canadian rocket starts.
 * Thalmor Dominion:
 * April: The Thalmor High Judge, Sheogarth, is found to be insane and is removed from his office. His brother, Peryite, is put into office. High Justice Peryite announces that he will personally review all decisions made by Sheogarth.
 * June: Peryite overturns nearly thirty decisions made by Sheogarth during his thirty year reign as the High Judge.
 * July: Thalmor ships accidently meet Dravimosian ships; they fire upon the unknown vessels and destroy 5 of their ships before retreating back to Thalmor space.
 * Terran Empire:
 * April: The Terran Empire send several probes to Earth, several of which latch onto their moon. Also, several more probes release billions of nanites into the space around Earth, which then enter Earth satellites and patiently wait for orders. Meanwhile, trillions more are sprayed all over the world, smuggling into key government facilities and electronic devices of governments all around the world. Meanwhile, the Terran Empire build several more installations, to house their population. Their population now stands at 873 billion, spread over several hundred colonies and installations.
 * May: The Terran Empire upgrade their droid army, which stands at several hundred million, with about 3 billion more ready to be activated. The industry is improved, and more defenses are set up along the main cluster of the Terran installations. Also, Installation 1, the first installation after the destruction of the Terran homeworld is finally deactivated and dismantled. It had housed 3 million inhabitants, and had been the biggest installation. Also, their droid armada is also improved, with several hundred capital ships and several million starships. They are able to coordinate extremely well, as that they are droids. Their technology is also one of the most advanced in the galaxy, as they have very small and weak bodies, which lead to early and rapid technological development.
 * June: More nanites are sent into the Earth atmosphere, and more also into the space outside Earth. All satellites on Earth have several thousand nanites inside them. Also, nanites get inside Air Force One, Air Force Two, Marine One, the Crystal Palace NORAD center in the Cheyenne Mountains, the Soviet base in the Urals, all the nuclear weapons, as well as in all secret weapons facilities. Several million droids are also deactivated, as it seems as though it is all peaceful for now. Droids in deactivated mode do not need to be maintained, as they maintain themselves even in hibernation mode. A new version of the Servant Droid v.9.3.52 comes out, which is slicker and faster than the older version. It is used mainly in restaurants, although many wealthy families have it for their personal use. It also comes with a self defense weapon, although it is non-lethal. Finally, research begins on "matrix shields", shields that will be cast by satellites in key positions around the "main cluster", in case of an attack.
 * Pita, I am just warning you, your race is no longer billions of years old, so you might want to tone down your numbers for now. 
 * Err, I did...
 * I noticed, but even then, your population probably would not be almost 1 trillion. Put your empire on the map and we will see.
 * why not?
 * Meh, I guess not. But your people would have to live on many, many installations. Also, on the map why are some of the other empire's missing?
 * Someone took me (Scraw) and the Novans (Enc) off the map.
 * Secondly, your number are still sadly excessively high. I know they're nanites, but billions? And in that little place you have...873 billion? Ok. Might I suggest you make the place a bit bigger?
 * Err, yes, billions. Nanites are extremely small, so small that you can't even see them.... so yes, billions. And that little place????? Do you have any idea how large that place is??- Pita
 * Can we start the next turn? this is what ruined the last one. 
 * No, half the people didn't even play yet.
 * OK. it would be bad to finish the first turn withouut them, so, never mind. 
 * Insectus Empire: The home world of the Insectus is being ripped apart by conflict between four hive queens. The current reigning hive queen, Illiad the Second, is assassinated, and her daughter Queen Embris takes the throne. She inherits her mother's hive mind of workers and immediately re-establishes the collapsing space empire of Illiad the First. She leads a mission to the world Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, to establish a colony, setting up a new hive. Her daughter becomes Illiad the Third, but instead of destroying her like the usual custom or causing a war between queens, she embraces her daughter and together they establish a massive hive mind to figure out why in the galaxy everybody is so interested in Earth and Mars. She finds a three thousand year old Insectus probe at the South Pole which contains a static message from the legendary Queen Horus, the first hive queen to establish the long failed Insectus Galactic Queendom. On Ganymede, they get to work deciphering the message from their ancestor.
 * No nation ever held sovereignty over the galaxy, and certainly not yours, since your nation is far younger than the ones of the Regenetech, Dravimos, Azanarians, and Terrans.
 * If I claimed to hold galactic sovereignty, I made a dreadful mistake. The hive queens, stunned by the threat and apologizing for unwittingly causing such trouble, flee to their home world.
 * It is okay. We will forgive and forget.
 * Regenetech Imperial Diplomacy: By Imperial order, leave the Sol System at once or face force from the Empire's Grand Navy.
 * Regenetech Response: Thank you for leaving. We are just trying to make sure that the humans do not get scared. We would let you stay, but the humans would start cowering in fear and send probes to Ganymede and discover you. Sorry for anything. You can take your message and leave.
 * China: The Chinese overhear an Insectus transmission referring to the crashed Martian spacecraft and complete building of the top-secret Tai Long program, a series of experimental manned spaceships which were scrapped in OTL at the end of the Space Race. Tai Long 1 is secretly sent into Earth orbit, and Tai Long 2 lands on the dark side of the Moon. Tai Long 3 is sent on a mission to study the downed spacecraft. After creating a replica of the site on Earth, the Chinese begin to build an exact replica of the spacecraft in the top secret Project Wang Mu. The spacecraft will not be finished for a long time, but one thing is for sure - a study of the site proves beyond doubt that somebody shot the spacecraft down! Meanwhile, as information on the projects is leaked out, the people are angered by the fact that the Chinese communist government is keeping secrets from them and rebellious thoughts spread among the populace. A rebellion, led by the self-proclaimed "first Emperor of the Mian dynasty" starts to form.
 * I don't think you'll be able to overhear an transmission from the aliens, and sending two space ships up, coming back, and beginning to creat an replica within this turn is implausible.
 * Agreed. Slow it down.
 * Good point. Okay, if they were already secretly working on this for ten years, would you accept it? Also, the Tai Long missions are now unmanned, and Tai Long 3 fired a smaller probe into Martian orbit to take high-resolution photographs of the crash site, therefore eliminating the problems of a Martian probe so early.

''' Thanks for your concern, guys, but no need to wait for the other players to start the next turn. '''

''' The Soram ships in the Sol System retrieve the remainder of their crashed ships and send stealth fighters to Earth to investigate if the natives know anything. '''

 Senegal:  A plan to build schools around the country is finalized and put into action, providing jobs for thousands of workers across the nation. Several upstart companies begin extraction of minerals like iron ore and gold and sell them on the global market, bringing in a lot of capital into the country in the process. Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar opens a brand new observatory.
