Talk:States of America 3 (Map Game)

Borders
Sould the map keep the borders of the states when a state joins/is conquered by another, or should the border be erased since it is now internal? DeanSims 16:33, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I suggest that we keep these borders. Looks more realistic. Doctor261 16:36, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

What I mean to say is, oh look at the maps below and look at the Texas, does it look beter with the Louisiana border satill there or without it?

What do you think? DeanSims 16:40, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Nah. With provincian borders it looks much sexier and better to organize. Doctor261 16:42, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I dont now if its realy sexier looking, but it does help with the confusion part, or it will once 4 or 5 states are all one nation. Im going to shrink those sample maps up there.

DeanSims 16:48, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

While I was away, during this hour, I've been thinking which one is better. And my opinion has changed. You are right. We don't need provincial borders for one country. You got my "Aye". Doctor261 17:56, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I say it should depend on how you conquer it. If you add it as its own province, or make a commonwealth between the two, it should keep the border, but if you just conquer it and add the territory to your own state, it should not have the border. LurkerLordB 17:59, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I will use Luker Lords idea, for a commonwealth type thing keep provincial border while the rest are no state/provincial borders. DeanSims 18:07, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Other Nations
Should we include larger nations from the "outside world" in the beggining or freeze everything outside of North America until the "World Phase", can begin? Because if we start out with the whole world, few people will sign up as states and those who do can easily take over bunches of other states while the outside powers can also attack the states and conquer the USA and Canada. What do you guys think?

DeanSims 17:03, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I say, since it says the US will be sitting WW2 out, maybe wait until 1950 to involve the rest of the world. That could give the new American nations enough time to expand and become powerful enough to not be swiftly annexed. LurkerLordB 18:00, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Opinions
Let's use my "Fatherlands" Timeline

Germany and other Axis member maybe will conquer the USA, and Chinese (maybe) will control the San Francisco. Jordan Chang 17:22, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Cant do it until the rest of the players agrre to it, and that wouldnt be right because people want to play as the states and they cant if they are conquered. DeanSims 17:24, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

OK I see. I just give a comment for it. Jordan Chang 17:28, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Its alright dude, its not a bad idea actualy, maybe I will start a Fatherland (Map Game), I d have to read the timeline first though. DeanSims 17:31, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Questions About The Game
Where to make changes?

I want to expansion for my army, then where to change it?

Jordan Chang 17:19, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

You just say the military is expanded and modernized after your country name, thats about it. You have to do this for at least two turns before you can attack another country.

DeanSims 17:22, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry I do it wrongly Jordan Chang 17:52, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

No biggy dude. Your a begginer, everyone screws up on their first map game. Heck I screw up on almost all of my map games at least every once in a while. Thats why we have mods.

About moderators
May I to be one of moderators? I can online everyday UTC+8 7:30 pm~1:00pm Jordan Chang 17:29, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

As long as you dont go crazy with power, Im not saying you would, but I have before, its hard not to. ;) DONT GO CRAZY!!!! If you want to be a mod you have my ok.

DeanSims 17:35, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

can I be canada?
so, ya, is it possible to be canada or a canadian province?-Lx (leave me a message) 17:31, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

you can be a Canadian province, but Canada has collapsed as well, so you cant be all of Canada. I will alow Ontario and Manitoba to merge on the first turn you post, since those two are very alike in many ways.

Implausible
Already it's implausible. I propose a restart of the game. CrimsonAssassin 22:07, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I know I'm not an mod, but I agree with Crimson. Look at it, Texas owning much of the former US and its only been (I think) two years.Enclavehunter 22:11, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

May I also suggest to have an limit on expansion. Maybe one state every ten or five years.Enclavehunter 22:20, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I vote no expansion until 1940 like the rules say. CrimsonAssassin 22:23, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Your the mod, so I'll agree.Enclavehunter 22:27, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I agree, its only been 2 years and look at the size of texas!-Lx (leave me a message) 22:28, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

That could be a good rule to implement, but the rules currently only say about expansion "No expansion until at least a year of military buildup." There was a rule against expansio before 1947, but Deansims changed taht rule. Considering its his map game, I would say that you would have to contact him before changing the rules) LurkerLordB 22:30, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

I agree, we need a restart. Swollow 23:50, November 22, 2011 (UTC)
