i have a cool idea

total war is when countries shift resources from things like food and luxuries to war.

I think it would be cool to be able to declare total war.

Total War:

Increases Income by 40% for up to 5/10 turns
Decreases Income by 30% for double the amount of turns that total war was in effect, after Total war ends(to show economic shortfalls and decline from the lack of non-war goods)

so you get a short burst of credits to defend/attack, but then sink into depression

so its all or nothing [Smile]

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!

Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!

To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!

war factories make war stuff

i got the idea when i was reading about ww2, like when england saw that they couldnt beat hitler right off the bat, they shifted resources more and more into war into they were in a state of total war. they outfitted furniture and car factories to make tanks n guns and stuf like that.

followed by a harsh economic decline [Big Grin]

Italy gained and lost an empire during the course of the war, look what a crap-hole Ethopia is today after the Fascists pulled out

This is where this certain useful invention comes in. Its called a map.

England + Wales + Scotland + Northern Ireland and the isles around our shores = Britain

Britain + all of the land we own like the Falklands etc = The United Kingdom

Jester, you just make us Americans look bad in geography. Oh yeah we already do. Which is a shame as I've won the school Geography Bee 4 times in a row and been to state twice, hopefully three times.

Jeez and I thought you were kidding! WOW!!

During the Italian occupation some African "tribal witch doctors" made a "predicition" that Italy will fall and Il Duce would die before 1950, the local Colonial Italian goverment got pissesd and in a pre-dawn raid the Carabinieri arrested the "witch doctors" and crucified them in a Italian Hangar at a local air-base
