War Thunder
Do you play it? If so, could you tell me your username so we can squad up? Imp (Say Hi?!) 17:31, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

Handle? Username you mean? Mine's implad. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:08, July 23, 2013 (UTC)

Just added you. You need to have an account for me to be able to add you, lol. When you get online, I'll be able to message you in game :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:20, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

NO!! :(  Imp (Say Hi?!) 23:38, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

Is this the one with the Axum and the Great Khmet Empire? Well, if you send me the link to the wiki again, I'll be able to pitch in, lol. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 14:23, August 2, 2013 (UTC)

PMII Peace
No, I can't give you either of those. How about Mindoro or? Panay?

15:44, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Viva. In PM2, you have the chance to claim all of the Philippines as your vassals still fought in the war. Plus, I'll be able to post sometimes. Thank you for the guns, btw. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 17:18, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry, Viva, I haven't played PM2 in a while and I think right now the Levant is in personal union with the Arabian Federation or however Von's nation is called right now. Fed (talk) 15:43, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

^Yeah its in personal union with the Arabian Federation and Italia. It won't be broken up any time soon as the nations are in a larger military alliance too. VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 10:49, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

So, in this war, would I please be able to have Kongo. I have wanted it for ages, please? Imp (Say Hi?!) 12:52, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Sure, I guess. Well - its cruch time this year. Plus, are you ready to fly for glory?! Imp (Say Hi?!) 14:31, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Oh man, its loading up update 1.33 and I'm not sure when it'll be finished. :(  Imp (Say Hi?!) 14:44, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

No problem. :)  Imp (Say Hi?!) 14:54, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

War Thunder, now! :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 17:23, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

So... any thoughts on your war vs Normandy. I mean, its kinda close to home, much like how you said my Hobyo-Somalia is close to home for you. I kind of have this thing for Normandy, and I'd like to have mainland European Normandy. You will still get all the other vassals/protectorates, but I want their mainland. Is there any way to work this out? One solution I see is that you get all of Hobyo-Somalia except for the coastal regions. Then you give me Nuovo Milano and the Mogadishan coast as well as Normandy. This is all to prevent claims of ASB, and also, the Normans will rebel in an instant. It is only logical for them to do so. {Reximus Sig} 10:34, August 12, 2013 (UTC).

Things just got a bit better... Wales just got the needed 33% to annex all of the Dutch lands. Congo and Warqama are now up for grabs. Now, understand, there is no reason for me to just give the to you, but a land swap for Normandy isn't to bad of an idea, now is it? What do you offer for the both of them? (Note: I may just chose to hang on to them) {Reximus Sig}

Ethiopia-Selk'nam relations
Hey - we haven't had much in game interaction but I'm going to start sending some emmissaries your way. I think you and I are trying to do some of the same things in  terrms of yanking the global power axis South and reversing the polarity of how things went OTL, so we should pow-wow on strategy some time. I'm doing some things underhandly that you would probably like, and I think I have some ideas regarding your interest in Europe that might plactate some of the mods while allowing you to have even more fun, that and if you want in on any of my hijinks I think they might take you a bit more seriously than they take my little antarctic hole in the wall. May you be blessed with many guanacos. Commandante Lemming (talk) 18:28, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Maps of Alaska
I like to use Inkscape for my flags and maps, but the kinds of maps like the ones I recently uploaded were made from scratch. I find base maps on Google and work from there. Hope this helps out. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 19:00, August 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * It has worked for me for years. All you really have to do is find a base map and manually draw the coastline and borders (I find using the mouse can give the coastline a realistic look). You can then combine those lines together to color it. It's pretty simple, but practice makes perfect. I really should consider making a tutorial on how I make maps. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 04:01, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

No promises, but that has been something I have been considering for quite a while now. I wish you luck on your map making. --NuclearVacuum (Talk) 15:05, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

I have begun our plans for a unified language. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 21:42, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

I plan on having interest grow in proper Armahic in my universities. From there, the mercantile class will think about creating an easier link with Orissa's best ally and from there diplomats followed by intellectual folk (roughly 20-30 years time) will converge with their Ethiopian counter parts and the task to create this unified language will begin. I would give it like five years in game to be on the safe side lol. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:38, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

PS, 3,000th edit was on my talk page. XD  Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:39, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Britain (PMII)
I'm not going to rage against this ludicrously implausible event. I'm just going to state that they will rebel eventually. It's not that easy to exterminate ethnicities, so the Welsh are going to be a problem for you for years to come. Can you explain, in character, what made Eithiopia pissed off enough to invade Great Brython? Yank 17:41, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry Viva, I had to go away from chat and the computer got shut down, so I couldn't continue the Israeli discussion. Well, hopefully I'll see you in chat today too. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 06:51, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Islam in Korea
Yes, that is the one that inspired my forum post about Islamic Korea. That is a very rare idea, you cannot even find the similar ones in any Althist websites. Although it seems has a little plausibility, but an Islamic Korea can butterflying the world history.

And, thank you very much for your congratulations. I will work harder as a TSPTF member. :)

PMII
Hey, just got back and saw what happened in PMII. I'm going to watch and see who's holding what, but I'm going to make some moves to secure the Welsh Royal Family and Apostolic Prime Bishop if posssible. Also I have no clue who holds what but do you have any clue who's holding Wales' South American Colonies at the end of this? Lastly -I'd like to talk about keeping your British territories in the Apostolic Church rather than forcing conversion. That would be very good for me, and I could help you settle down the natives a bit. Commandante Lemming (talk) 21:31, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Britain is mine though? Otherwise Scraw does not get West Africa. He cannot have both. Imp (Say Hi?!) 20:18, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

I don't care man. Take your Britain or give it to Imp, I don't care anymore.

Good luck holding it - it's within the rules so you have a case in the event of a mod attack, and remember there is a mod-in-chief. I usually address rules concerns to Collie because the response is authoritative in the case of a dispute. As for the other stuff - this is a social game as much as a strategy game. It's almost as much about reading the other players as it is about the map. Oh well, I like reality TV anyway, so if I have to play online "Survivor", so be it :-P Commandante Lemming (talk) 20:45, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Oh - and I talked Scraw into keeping his portion of Britain in the Apostolic Church, so if you keep yours, we have a stable world religion with four voting members rotating leadership (Me, your Britain, Kogasa's Tojiko, and Scraw's Wales). I told Scraw I'd back a Welsh candidate when my Prime Bishop dies (this year) in order to seal the deal, and Kogasa wants the next one after that, but I think we can complete the rotation with you taking it after that and giving it back to me (granted it would be at least a four-way vote so no guarantees). That and I'm going to institute a ten year term limit on the Prime Bishop before the current one dies. Commandante Lemming (talk) 21:00, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for lack of commentary on the war - why does this garbage always happen while I'm away (I go on vacation and Wales gets blown up, I take a day for Rosh Hashanah and they go after Ethiopia). The level of ASB wars in this game is so annoying that I'm thinking that if there's ever a PM3 they're going to need a rule that you can only start three wars per century or something. I usually just duck and cover during these things becasue I suck at math and the sides cheange too rapidly - but it looks like you're doing OK. I just want it to end, seeing as my game is 100% cultural and lacks a military component. Commandante Lemming (talk) 20:33, September 6, 2013 (UTC)

Battle for Earth
Hello,

You signed on as Cuba in the Battle for Earth Strikes Back! Map game. As you may be aware, the game never started due to multiple circumstances. In order to meet everyone's needs, the game was delayed until September. I am putting the finishing touches on the page and the last thing to do is create the map for Earth. To do so, I need to know who's active and who isn't. If you are active, please notify me by Wednesday, September 11 or your nation will be opened up for a new player. Thank you for your patience.

PMII Thought Bubble
Random thought, once this war is done, do you want me to start sending you a bunch of Penguin Lillies to grow in Brythonic greenhouses? They  might be a good idea in holding the territory, or at least screwing with any rebels. Actually, you should already have a good number of them in Ireland, I assume they weren't totally eradicated by Rex'  "War on the Lily". Commandante Lemming (talk) 13:53, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

OK - you start the greenhouse experiement in Ireland and I will "kindly" send you more in exchange for the greenhouse technology that will allow me to grow them in warmer areas. Make sure the greenhouses are in Brittany due to the land borders. Still not sure if anyone will go along with the gag, but worth a shot. Commandante Lemming (talk) 17:45, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

Works for me :-) Commandante Lemming (talk) 21:00, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

From what I can see, Andrew isn't willing to give you England. Germanica is happy to negotiate a ceasefire with Ethiopia that includes the surrendering of Wales into Ethiopian hands.

Hey Viva - notihing important just wanted to pick your brain about PMII. Game is starting to get a little stale on the Selk'nam front and with all the wars and wars of recrimination I feel like the game is retreating in a Eurocentric direction or at least a Eurasia-centric direction - with the rest of the world (bar Ethiopia and Orissa) pretty much being ignored. Trying to figure out a way to cause a stir that will help break the war cycle and force some attention onto other regions (and force culture and environment back onto the agenda rather than military) - don't have any ideas yet,  but thought I would put it out there as a brainstorming subject that you might be interested in. I'm not going to do anything that gets me blown off the map but I'm happy to be a little more agitative - I'm planning some big changes in the Haruwin anyway and it's not an accident that I just introduced a leader names Icarus :-)  Commandante Lemming (talk) 20:08, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah that does seem to be the case - it just gets a little boring for those of use who are in neither Europe nor North America, and the actually "Alt History" aspect is waning a bit. I think there might be room for a bit of agitation in the Southern Hemisphere if we got a four or five people in on it (Say Me, You, Imp, maybe Kogasa, Rex would probably be game). One idea I thought of would be to introduce a fast-growing new religion that messes everyone up (something that looks like Bahai'ism or Rastafarianism - but with more Zealotry and less peace - maybe even a doomsday cult. The 1800s was prime time for that sort of thing OTL - Mormonism, Baha'ism, Adventism, Christian Science). Commandante Lemming (talk) 21:17, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

That's fair especially for you as a major power (as a sidenote I think PM3 should have regional moderators and no one should be able to mod their own continent, so no god-modding or at leaset incentive for the mods to be mean to eachother - may suggest that). Anyway, I think Imp is interested in helping me on my religion projhect to destabilize South America, so I will work through him. I'm thinking big on this one because I want to give the powers something they weren't expecting. ~Commander 02:22, September 19, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much Viva. I did merge a lot of it in my first turn (and I am sorry if that is not what you wanted) but I think it would be more plausible doing so.

Hey Viva. Just a head's up - I like your post lol. Small problem is that you forgot to post about the colony of Orissan Aprika which expands by 18150km. the vassal next to it also expands by 15000km. You also have control of New Oman, the war finished in 1831. I will be making an offer to buy it off the Orissans, but I will offer you 40% gold extraction if you sale New Oman. I'll also sell former Chinese Zululand too. Thanks! :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 09:52, September 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Viva - not sure what you and Imp are up to but I was working with Imp on a new religion to blow out of his (now your) South American clonies. Would you be interested in continuing that project? We were looking at some sort of Christian-Hindu-Native-Shinto fusion that ends up looking like a more militant version of Baha'ism (messiah-figured says all religions are equally true and that he is the final prophet of all of them). I'm willing to help but I need to move while my Prime Minister Icarus is still in power (before 1840 - althought I can casue events to keep him around if needed) Commandante Lemming (talk) 20:39, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

OK - well if you want to write it feel free. Otherwise I'll write a draft and send it to you and you can make changes around the edges before posting (I think that's legal). I don't think it's a good idea for this to blow out of the Selk'nam area - firstly because people ignore met, and secondly because I'm poorly located, and lastly because I want to execute this without either of us getting totally jacked up. However, I do plan on sheltering the sect after You run them out of your area, allowing them to take over part of my Northern areas, and providing them an "incubator" safe from angry Orissans (where they retrench and then blow back into your territory and then north into other people's colonies).

No worries - and like I said if you want me to do some writing on this to help out I can - it was my idea after all, it's just better to start it outside my territories. We should come up with something wacky to call it. Maybe have the messiah figure be calle A'asab or or something (I'm thinking it would be hilarious to work the letter-sequence "ASB" into the title of this thing. Maybe bats should have symbolism to them :-P ) Commandante Lemming (talk) 21:12, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Viva! Support me in BFE and I'll let you have Sol, and, say, the rest of the Galaxy? Just post on my talkpage, and you'll have the details.

Ok, well, basically, I currently need to fight off the Grand Coalition. After that, well, Crim and I are considering an alliance. The three of us would basically form the most powerful alliance in BFE. The Praetorians are actually faking their war with us. You can tell this by quick checks onto Local's and Crim's talkpages, as well as mine. So a four-way allaince with 3 Tier-3 nations and a Tier-4...

PMII: The dawn of A'Asabism
Hey Viva, wrote a rough draft of crazy new religious stuff. Came up with an origin myth but nothing military in terms of progress. Let me know if you like it or want to re-work it, and whether you had different ideas. How do you think it should spread?

''In the far Northern regions of Patagonshina, bordering the lawless jungle, the educated son of a tribal elder becomes disillusioned with the succession of colonists who have occupied his land and the various foreign beliefs they have enforced - Catholicism, Apostolicism, and now Hinduism. The lad, named Sapa Huacan, fasts and flagelates himself in the wilderness, begging the heavens to show him whether any of these religions are the true path, or whether he should follow traditional native religion.''

''After three months in the desert, an emaciated and dazed Sapa Huacan wanders back into his home village. The locals are concerned for his health, but he refuses water and immediately begins yelling in the town square, "I have found enlightenment! Hear the word of the true divinity!"''

Many of the townspeople think he has gone mad, but he continues, "I beat myself for ninety days, and on the eighty-seventh day, satisfied with my penitence, the angel of the true divinity appeared to me in the form of a bat! At first I thought I had gone mad, but for three day the bat taught me the history of all religions, and I required neither food nor drink nor sleep, yet was refreshed. I tell you today that all religions serve the same god, Hindu and Atlantian and Christian, yet have become divided by an evil spirits which the angels call "the grasshoppers". This grasshoppers have devoured the good fields of our minds and made us fight one another, not realizing that we all once served the same spirit. This is why the angel came as a bat, because as bats eat grasshoppers, so we must purge these spirit grasshoppers from our minds and unite ourselves!"

''Sapa Huacan goes on for three hours illuminating the village, and some become convinced by his knowledge. Finally he concludes, "All the prophets have come in succession but have been divided - Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Mohammed, and St. Maughold of Konip, but I have been called as the last prophet to united the divided strands and defeat the grasshoppers - and have been given a new name - Sapa Huacan is no more, his life-force has merged with the divinity, and this body will now be known by the mystical word by which the lost ancients warded off the grasshopper spirits! This body shall be know as A'Asab!''

Hey - just figured I'd see what time frame you have in mind for that event. I'm trying to keep my own story mildly palusible which means my despotic atheist regime is going to have to collapse in a few years (about five), so that's a good window for me. Granted, I'm going to maintain some vestiges of that regime once it's expelled, but it's going to make the expansion harder. Commandante Lemming (talk) 21:19, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah I figured you hgad offline business.

Hey Viva. I was just in the middle of posting for Ethiopia. Here is what I was going to post:

If you find anything you would like to incorporate into your present post please do so! :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:01, October 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * In the Imperium Africana, Sankala continues to gain prominence and begins to become the main language of the Imperium. Most major shops have their signs in Sankala and this helps most of the people in the nation understand the language. The Imperium continues its railroad projects and many people travel all around the nation for work. Consolidation of the various intergrated lands finally finishes after such a long period of work to unite the regions into one. The propaganda continues, fueling Ethiopian rage and helping its people to work harder and better for the nation. The army is presented with new rifles produced. Some of the gattling guns are recieved from the United Maharajya with the blueprints. The Axumite engineers tear apart the gattling guns anyway to see how they work and then put them back together. They are amazed at the weapon and authorise its production. The navy continues to work with the Orissan navy multiple naval exercises take place. Ethiopia begins the construction of its own "superdock" and begins to plan out its own "battleships". In Bado, the process of establishing thriving towns and villages continues. The tribal people learn how to communicate by writing in Sankala, as the Ethiopians continue to implement it in schools and teach the Bado how to write with it. In Northern Antillia, colonists from Wädäb continue to co-operate with the Inuit, providing them medicine and new goods and continue to teach the Inuit a script to be able to write their language. A lot of the Inuit learn it and the colonists encourage the people of the Inuit to inhabit permanent settlements to help gain some form of governence. Baridi sees many small outposts constructed and business opportunists head to the lands to be able to get new furs and wood. The propaganda continues to encourage different tribes to co-operate and intermarry. A new generation of children from parents who are moving past social taboos are growing up and beginning to make their own choices in life. The large amount of people exchanged between Orissa and Ethiopia continues. Many mixed marriages take place due to this but many families still taboo marrying an Orissan. Reservoirs have helped make many areas into lush savannas and areas which did not have enough water can now support crops. Mali sees growth and the "Ethiopianising" campaign continues at full speed. Hospitals and other basic services like schools are developed. Mali continues to vassalise the states its west to gain coastal access to other areas of Ethiopian trade. Kenya sees a huge program to integrate the new land into the nation and people are advised to move south and farm the land. Kenya continues to see a greater immigration boom into the nation as many head into the nation. Many parts of the nation begin to see urban development and railroads begin to develop in the nation. However, in a far off corner of the Imperium, the Atlantian colony begins to face more problems due to A'Asab. More troops have to be sent to help maintain order. The idea of "faceism" begins to expand in Ethiopia, which has been passed off through some of the more militant members of A'Asabism.
 * Wärqama is expanded by 18,000 km, focusing its expansion north. Wädäb expands by 16,000 km inland, trying to get to the Northern Lakes. Dähnnät stops expansion and begins to develop its lands - encouraging the creation of more towns inland. Nyamwezi is expanded by 15,000 km southward. Kenya expands the colony of Taimaini by 8000 km on the coasts. Baridi expands by 15,000 km as the company brings in its workers to work the land and help make a profit out of this experimental endeavour. The colony of Buruk is expanded by 2000 km as well. Dafur expands 20,000 km westward and Kitara expands 15,000 km northward. Oyo and Yuroboland also expand by 15,000 km east and west respectively into uncivilised lands. New Oman expands 15,000 km inward, with the gold helping pay off various Ethiopian debts around the world and help create a boom. The military, economy and infrastructure of all territories are expanded. Road links are soon upgraded while a few railroads are built too.

I was also going to sell Baruk to China becasue sadly that colony does not have hope of meeting up with Wahab anymore. This would allow the redirection of expansion to other colonies instead. You might be interested in considering this move maybe? :)  Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:03, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

I thank thee. Which colony should I redirect the extra expansion to? Taimaini? Plus, i was wondering when we could kill of the Ethiopian Emperor and finally enter a Personal (not full cause other people would whine) Union. So yeah, lol. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:09, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

I have edited all I need to. The rest is when you post it! I have allocated the extra 2000km to Taimaini. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:39, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

Lol, no problem. Just make sure you take atleast 6-7 years to build your superdock - I took something like ten - making it the largest in the world. Was a drain on resources, but hey I have to spend that money lol. I am building battleships and you should get your first one within a year. Then you can build your own once your construction dock is complete. Even Italia does not have battleships currently. :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 20:38, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

Way, way, way too big lol. You need to keep it on the west coast, just make the nation larger (moderately) there. This is way too big, and half of that territory is under the British Empire, so it would not be logical to have the nation there. I'll get the map of what I think the nation should have soon. :)  Imp (Say Hi?!) 11:08, November 11, 2013 (UTC)

Something more like this should do fine. I would take it this nation will do everything in the power to make sure they get like unequally treated French blacks too? As well as this, I think they would probably look to remove all tribal differences and incorporate all the blacks into an equal society maybe? But yeah, what do you think about the map? :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 19:15, November 11, 2013 (UTC)

I guess so. Plus, the Africans will not like the Nazis at all, so that might provide you with a large number of Blacks too. Just make sure they are in the British camp, otherwise they will not be safe all alone. Imp (Say Hi?!) 22:44, November 11, 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations
Congratulations, you are now a Constable in the TSPTF. This allows you to showcase the TSPTF membership badge on your user page. Furthermore it gives you the rollback power on this wiki. In the History page of an article you will notice a new option called "rollback". This is an anti-vandalism tool. It allows you to quickly undo edits in case someone has made more than one edit to a page. By clicking rollback it will immediately revert the article to a time before the offending editor edited the page. This is your most important duty. By agreeing to be a constable, you are promising to do your best to patrol for vandals and trolls.

When you get the chance, please go to the TSPTF page, and sign up for some responsibilities. In reality, none of us have the time to devote to all of the duties that are expected of an administrator of the wiki. You are expected, however, to sign up for at least three responsibilities listed in that section. These are duties that you are agreeing to carry out to the best of your ability every time you are on this wiki. I'm hoping that by doing this the members of the TSPTF can efficiently share the work load of the wiki and gives us time for the real reason we are here. Since you are only a constable and do not have the power to delete or block, do not feel obligated to sign up for any duties you do not have the powers to do. Please inform and respect those in a position to do so if you see a problem that involves a need for either of those things.

Again, congratulations on being elected to the TSPTF and good luck.

Re:Orthographic Map
Yeah... sorry about that. Been meaning to respond to you, but I've been pretty busy. I'm more than happy to answer your question, though I'm not too sure how to explain it. For this particular map, I used Celestia (a space simulating program) and Inkscape (a vector program). I already had a map of Venus, and I added to the space program (which showed it a s a globe). I then manually outlined the continents with Inkscape and added it to one of the many orthographic maps from Wikipedia. That's the gist of it, but how to use those programs is a completely different topic. I've stated on several occasions that I would like to make a tutorial on how I make maps, but I give no promises as to when (let alone if) I plan on doing this.

I do apologize if this wasn't the answer you were looking for. I do appreciate you like my work, and I thank you for this. -- 23:48, November 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Glad I could help out. If you need any future help, I will always be here. -- 04:37, November 25, 2013 (UTC)



Glad to hear you are liking Celestia. Though to be fair, I've had many years of experience in coding for this program. In fact, all you have to do is change the file names and you can put whatever you want on those planets (you don't always have to have it at Earth). In fact, I'm working on a mod which will show Venus as a habitable planet with a moon. Also (if you really want to explore the program), check out the many extrasolar planets which should already be coded into the program (very interesting). Also (if you don't mind me asking), what layout are you using? Did you make that? -- 17:32, November 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well it's been a while since I've used it (so I'm a bit rusty). As for adding stuff to the program, it's pretty easy to do. In the main folder there should be a folder marked "extras." You can add stuff to this and it will be added to the program (without changing the already existing code). As for adding a planet or moon, the easiest way for me to explain it is to go to the folder marked "data" and find the file "solarsys." Copy it (so not to permanently alter anything) and put it in the "extras" folder. You should be able to open the file with any text editor, and you can see the code (it includes all the planets and some of the moons). All the parameters are marked so you can see the planetary details (orbit, size, location, you know). The Moon should be labeled for easy access. Just copy the code and you can alter it to what you want.


 * Hope this helps out (I such as explaining things). -- 02:10, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Glad to hear it. If you're looking for textures, just Google for them (there's plenty out there). Also check out this site, full of textures and mods to explore. -- 02:37, November 28, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for sticking up for me on the talk page - although  actually want the Praetorate (a tiny island in the Atlantic) to get blown out of the water by the Germans and the Portuguese.

Coincidentally, the Praetorate leadership is going to escapa and form an underground terrorist network for the next few years. Since the leader Eris is a disillusioned member of the Selk'nam royal family, her modus operandi is to attakc the nations she blames for polluting the blood of the House of Tuch'huelpe....which actually puts Imperium Africana next on the target list. That - and I've only had the terrorists go after friendly players who will understand that this is not a declaration of war by the Selk'nam.

So, there may be a terrorist attack somewher in your empire after the war finishes and Eris re-emerges. There's going to be a big manhunt (womanhunt?) and I'm hoping for a big multi-national trial like Nuremburg once she's captured in about 7 years.

Re:Color question
Are you using the "paint can tool" to fill in areas? I'd recommend staying away from that tool, as it really doesn't work. What I do is make paths within paths. When you outline an area, I also separately outline the specific area I want a specific color. As a comparison, imagine outlining the entire US (which would be grey), then separately outlining New York (which would be ping). That's what I've done here.

The best technique I'd suggest is to copy the larger area (say a continent), remove the little bit of coastline (or the outline of the continent) that isn't part of your area, than add the land border. Than all you need to do is add the "fill" (or color) and that's pretty much it. I can try and re-explain it if this makes no sense. -- 06:40, December 9, 2013 (UTC)

Calm
So you are just going to give up? Let everything you have rebuild from the ground up go into flames? Now listen to me - this is the best chance to muck about with your empire - create new and illogical things, the time to test out those tanks you are so fond of. Who knows, you might "accidentally" leave a couple for the rebels to find who try to reproduce the tanks but in doing so use up all their infrastructural base and make you job of conquering them easier, as well as provide the oppurtunity to have tank vs tank battles.

The rebellion begun? Root out all those supporting it and destroy it. I might have to bring forward the plan of the West Aprikan Federation too. I was going to ask you about it - I plan to create a union of those Mahgrebi states and Mali. It would become pretty powerful, and allow for us to unite the region better. You up for it? And for the last time, you are not quitting. Get back to the game, and go type up a long post. There is still huge work to be done with our empires. :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 18:58, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

True. But I think its time you went Socialist. All the right-wing government of Ethiopia is inspring currently is unrest and uprisings. It'll make more sense to do so. I also think you should stop the hate education - might cause more problems than it solves! :)  Imp (Say Hi?!) 19:26, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

I swear you agreed we were going Socialist. And being socialist, not equalist, we can have no problems with having an Emperor. I have the Maharaja still there. And I am confused - I thought the Emperor/Maharaja was the same man - son of the Ethiopian Emperor and the Orissan Maharani. And he died and his son is now ruler in the Maharajya, building "emotional" links with the Japanese crown-princess, as I wrote in my posts. Thoughts? :P  Imp (Say Hi?!) 20:03, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

I didn't call it the Union of the Star for nothing. Star = Socialist Unity, Union = you know, your run o' the mill union. It will be cool and an interesting set of empires which will eventually become a Commonwealth of the former colonies and their mother colonies. :D  Imp (Say Hi?!) 20:17, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

The Tizatheean goverment is a corrupted form of the US government. I don't know exactly how it came to be. The name is a corruption of "My Country 'Tis of thee". The President is elected for life and is also the head of the religion, hence the similarities to the election of the Pope. Just thought a little background info was needed.Yank 04:58, December 14, 2013 (UTC)

The governing body, known as the “Asenatu Ancen Grenasemblu” is composed of four representatives from each province, and two representatives from each territory. The assembly serves as the legislative power of the nation, drafting laws and regulations, and making decisions of important matters. Within the legislative assembly there is also an organization known as the “Grisro Orden”, comprised of dozens of elders, scholars, inventors, historians, strategists, and representatives, elected for life. Once elected, an individual works within the order in secret, working to draft secret military plans, record history, regulate scientific discoveries and discussions, research technology, and trace back ancient history and religion. The order operates an extensive library and university within Xerstalinus that serves as the headquarters for the organization. Each province within the smaller, submissive kingdoms is divided into feudal counties, governed by local governors in charge over their towns and cities. Each feudal governor is in charge of recruiting citizens for the national military, collecting taxes, and other local responsibilities.

The space faring fleet, known as the Starfleet, is organized into several minor task groups and large fleets. The largest unit in the Meridian Consul Starfleet is known as the Grand Imperial Armada, which is commanded by a Grand Admiral of the Fleet, given the title of Granimperialis, or Mongranimperialis if commanding the prestigious Grand Imperial Armada of Monsmanu.
 * What's the literacy level?: Very high
 * What's the overall technology?: high tech
 * What do the people worship or invoke?: The religion of Meridian is known as Atmosian. All inhabitants of the nation follow this religion in one form or another, with multiple variants and sects in existence. The divisions of the Atmonsian church begins with individuals choosing to study certain religious leaders, and aside from that is no different from the rest of the religious sects. At the root of all Atmonsian is the belief in Atmons and his lineage. Atmonsian dates back thousands of years to before recorded history, with hundreds of ancient manuscripts still in existence from the beginning of written language on the subject. According to ancient texts of the early planetary inhabitants, Monsmanu was formed by Atmons, creator of the universe. Atmons is said to have had one brother, Nevenhaz, who would later betray him. Atmons’ lineage ends with Glusatmos, legendary deity who purged the planet of Monsmanu to punish the Gitans in the past. It is believed that Glusatmos still works on Monsmanu, serving out Atmons’ will across the globe. The philosophy of Celulos Unon Xherlygh, legendary prophet and warlord of the Meridian people, is known as Xherlyghian. Celulos preached for justice and fairness among all individuals, as well as respect toward all, even foes. Many who study Xherlyghian literature and philosophy begin a career in justice or law. Xherlygtian Atmonsians also focus on unity through constitutional means, and defense of rights. This sect is popular among many high ranking military officers and representatives, who train to defend their homeland in case of an invasion, to forever preserve Meridian justice. The Atmonsians hold the five purges of antiquity, also known as the apocalypses, as some of the most important events in history. It is believed that the Gitans were punished by a vengeful Atmons, and his agent, Glusatmos. Atmonsians strive to follow the principles of successful and prestigious individuals, hoping to prevent another purge from occurring. Because of this system of rewarding success, and following in the footsteps of certain leaders, the basis of Meridian’s local government is a meritocracy. Those who prove to be advanced in certain subjects become eligible for greater perks and responsibilities.

I am not understanding.For what is that?What am i supposed to answer?--Collie Kaltenbrunner (talk) 17:35, December 14, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Viva - do you mind me asking what you're going to use this for? I'm going to fill it out regardless, but the planned use is going to make a difference how I do it. For instance - if this is like a map game that  would be affiliated with, the nation will conform to my values --- if it's for some other use, then it's going to be a really messed up society that is specifially designed to play havoc with whatever timeline it exists in. Also had something I wanted to talk to you about in the New Year as we wind up PMII - I was thinking of seeing if we could get a few people together to write some short stories set in the PMII world. I've been very curious about the human aspect of the crazy world we're building and I thought before we finish the game we shold have some fun with some "worm's eye view" narratives rather than our bird's eye view as players (I was thinking get like five people, and don't let anyone set their story in their own nation).
