Gmod: Total War

[Kartoffel]

So this is a very [i]very[/i] experimental idea that I would like to try out. This is going to (hopefully) be a long term "forum game" type thing, so bear with me here.

Here's the deal:

First things first, you all need to make your own nation. Describe the region in which it belongs, its biome, whatever the hell you guys feel like. However, there are certain things that are required:

[quote]
1. Nation's name
2. Nation's leader
3. Flag of your nation (make one or steal one from a real nation)
4. Climate/Biome (for instance, temperate forests, frozen tundra, etc...)
5. Form of government (Democracy, Communism, "If you don't follow me I'll kick your ass", etc...)
[/quote]

I will be accepting 10 of the best nations. You rate [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/winner.png[/img] for the ones you think are the best, and [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/box.png[/img] for whichever ones you don't like. Whenever there is a clear top 10, the war shall begin. I will make a map to show each nation's location, and then we will have movement, attack, diplomacy, and trade phases. These phases will be combined into a single turn, and when everyone has finished the turn, I will proceed to recreate exactly what happened in a Gmod Video. This process may take a while, so it is highly likely that the thread may be dormant for a couple of weeks. But the video is done, I will post it and start the next turn. (This might be done in a shorter timespan if I have a weekend available. Damn school.) :v:

Like I said, this will be long term, so bear with me.

Shit, I like the idea. I'll whip up something.

[Stevetehzombo]

imma make a new race.

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;35668102]Shit, I like the idea. I'll whip up something.[/QUOTE]

Thanks. I would whip something up as well, but there would be some sort of natural bias there. Plus, it's that much extra work to do.

By the way, something I forgot, one part of diplomacy is also assassination, so I need to know what model your leader will use. I will figure out a way to fairly do assassination. It will probably have to do with some sort of statistic based on skill and random chance. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

[QUOTE=Stevetehzombo;35668139]Name - Drethian
Leader - Edi'ad

[img]http://xnepali.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/national_flag_of_nepal.jpg[/img]

Biome - Tundra
Form of Government - Communism

The Drethian are blood savage race. These people don't believe in money since they distribute everything with in them selves. Drethians live in a mountainous region called the "Grodian Straight". Edi'ad was chosen because of his war skill and cunning strategies on and off the battle field. The Drethians get food, water, cloths, and other goods from the environment around them. This race is has been fighting all along its history. This race has 5 cities, 1 capital, and 10 villages.

There military:

These men are recruited at the age of 15, they are trained there whole lives to fight. At the end of there training they have to murder there parents, in order to complete there training(what they have been working on there whole lives.) The weapons they use are M4A15. There special forces use other weapons and vehicles and do not fear death there for anyone.[/QUOTE]

Nice. Do you know which models I could use to represent them? The videos will feature intense battle sequences that will most likely kill the majority of my hard drive.

Wait a sec, I swear that Espionage Wars thread was something like this.

[Conely]

[QUOTE=dvaderv2;35670296]Wait a sec, I swear that Espionage Wars thread was something like this.[/QUOTE]

yeah, except in EW you've got essentially limitless resources because it's meant to be more like a framework for persistent stories about factions, whereas this is more like an actual game

I'll make something for this in a second

[dvaderv2]

[QUOTE=Cone;35670391]yeah, except in EW you've got essentially limitless resources because it's meant to be more like a framework for persistent stories about factions, whereas this is more like an actual game[/quote]
Another difference is that... did anyone post anything on Espionage Wars yesterday?

[QUOTE=Cone;35670391]I'll make something for this in a second[/QUOTE]
I might too. However I don't know whether to use my EW faction as it is, make some changes to it, or just build a new faction from scratch.

[SniperComZero]

-really fucking big snip.-

[Kartoffel]

Woah, I go to sleep for one minute, and POW!!! Content!

Thanks guys. to make things easier, whenever the top 10 are voted upon, I'll request download links for all required models (although I think I can figure out where to get the TF2 models.) :V:

[editline]22nd April 2012[/editline]

Also, I got ahold of an external hard drive, so making the videos will NOT kill my computer. :v:

What are you talking about? Perhaps you could link me to what it is you are referring to?

Stop acting like a over privileged child, and accept that people don't like your army.

Because I don't feel that yours is satisfactory enough to join Gmod: Total War.

If you have any problems, please write a complaint and put it in the recycle bin, I'll be sure to read it.
