Hammer Of stones :)

Go Navy!!

hi again dibs.

I support this because Ed said to do it. There.

but you don't really support this.

yea but i can still argue.

Hi again Marshal. I'm not over there. I'm over here.

Clearly!

can't convince mister ed that navy needs water and game's planet has no seasa.

As far as i know, our game planet is defined only by inference. We infer that there is land because we grow food and have troops and tanks; we infer an atmosphere because we have citizens and jets. But we could imagine a fantastical world without an atmosphere and the jets use stabalized thrusters. Since earth isn't objectively defined anywhere and clearly permits physical impossibilites (like having a million tanks on one acre of land), i see no reason to argue that naval, space or cyber units should be deemed impossible because they are somehow constrained by the real earth's physical laws that obviously do not apply to our game planet.

Extending the game to include different mil units may cause us to infer new properties for our imaginary game planet,, but since the planet as such exerts no influence on the game itself, how can it possibly matter? We could change the labels on mil units to apples, pears, bannanas and pineapples and we could use sea shells for cash - all that matters are the properties attached to the objects, like it takes 2 apples to defend equally against 1 bannana.

In summary, our game planet is imaginary, is defined nowhere, and exerts no impact on game play, neither by constraints or shared effects (my earthquakes never hit another country, nor do plagues cross borders, nor fallout from using missiles.) Therefore, to argue as if our game planet is in any way analogous to a real planet is a total waste of bandwidth.

My 2 cents for my *bonus*

Go Navy!!

Dancing Bear just spelled this out in a way that even a novice to the game can understand.

Marsha might need an explanation to DBs explanation.

yes he did AFTER my post

Probably. If you go back and read some of my posts I explained the same thing but to no avail. However I have Hope's the DancingBear's post was detailed enough that my sixth grader can understand so hopefully it won't be too advanced for Marshall...

LOL

we don't need naval forces.

Why are you such a stick in the mud?

Perhaps more troll than stick?

navy would just make this game more complex.

I've heard stories of giant mud trolls, which are related to the north american sasquarch, aka bigfoot. These creatures tend toward boggey river deltas and swamps, but have been reported in isolated small rivers and even large creeks. I would think that thieir natural abilities would preclude them actually getting stuck in mud like a stick, but i suppose anythiing is possible. They are reputed to be slow moving and more stubborn than a mule of similar age.

;)

It will add a new- but reasonable dynamic and make the game more fun-especially for those of us on the alliance server. It would really be great if Navy forces showed up in the next round in our industrial capabilities (and ability to sell on the market) with no warning and no info on whether jets or turrets defend against, etc. Let us players figure it out by trial and error.

Many of us have wondered this for years 🤣

you just want commies to make more money

Definitely.

Definitely.

what after navy? space marines? and what after that? spacefights?

We do not currently have space marines or space fights in the real world. However Navy forces have existed here in the real world for quite some time and, as DancingBear has educated everyone, there is no rational reason why Navy cant be a part of the game. However if you truly think space marines needs to be talked about you can start a thread about it and I will be happy to weigh in there. Or if you want, I can create the thread for you so that people who are interested in the topic of Navy forces won't have to go through the cumbersome process of wading through off topic posts about Marshall's space marines adventure.

Another great idea! This game definitely needs a space element. How about instead of a restart bonus countries that are killed start on Mars where there are significantly less resources and have to make their way back to Earth without access to the public market (aside from the martian barter market)

So you dont have to keep trolling and disrupting this thread, I've created a thread for your outer space idea: http://m.earthempires.com/...e-forces-discussion-46426

He never shuts up. I'd hate to be his wife or GF. She probably doesn't get a word in edge-wise. Well, that is if he has one. There is a topic of bonus points if they are that desperately needed.

I'm just glad that DancingBear really laid out the logic for why Navy forces CAN be added to the game and I would love to see it tried out on the alliance server.

Thank you

where do we draw the line? what if we add tanks into the game, it will pretty much be world of tanks, have you no decency?

There are already tanks but if you wish to start a world of tanks thread go ahead, this is Navy.

Exactly. All that needs to happen is for Navy units to be added and their attack and defense strengths as well

Sounds reasonable

My hope is that the game developers will do this. We dont have airports- but we have jets. We dont need oceans. We can have navy

zeppelins or ships on balloons.

Very true. There are no "defined" runways and no "defined" airports. We just know they are out there. Same with oceans - we dont need any "defined" oceans. We just need ships and we do attacks. Just like we do with jets.

Agreed

So simple a 2nd grader could understand it.

Implement Navy

Why not just institute random forced conversion to a Theo? For example, there has been a fundamental Islamic overthrow of your original government leading to the rise of an Islamic Caliphate along with declining production and revenue, thus turning your country into slag. The same could be said for any other random religion, such as Jehovah's Witnesses have seized power and now your country is pacifist and will NOT launch wars of aggression and conquest in order to grow.

How much fun could you have with that?

Go navy
