Gallia and Kusari share one problem though. Lack of mineral resources. Kusari needs to import or trade theirs, which is why a war of attrition would not end well for them. Gallia has basically stripmined itself into a warfleet... Much like Rheinland had in the Nomad wars. This means that the Gallian war fleets, until they can secure additional resource-rich grounds, could probably not replace any losses, whereas the Bretonian fleet can draw upon gold from Dublin, and Carbohyds and Beryllium from Cambridge and Manchester (I think), and can import additional resources from the Omegas and Rheinland.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.

But once you have accepted, that nothing you do on the server has an effect on the plot,
you will notice that its a freaking good plot. I really like it.
GOOD JOB to Igiss for that.
Moreover I refer to the French Revolution for my personal prediction of the further developments.
' Wrote::lol::lol:
I see the BAF in 4.85 winning 100% of the fights against KNF, since KNF didn't had enough manpower even to organise normal assault in Taus or Leeds.......
I see the KNF swarms in Orkney and Languedoc forcing the GRN back and steamrolling them like GRN should do, at least at the event were so...
So server realities don't affect the Mod storyline at all....
:lol::lol:
The GRN actually made it to Holman before the KNF pushed them back. Trust me- I was GRN commander at the time:D
Also, as a BAF, I have lost plenty of fights against the KNF. It swings from one side to the other every month or two.

You're very perceptive. Gallia has multiple resource clusters, but one of them is their border worlds- which, as you noted in the other thread- have been ravaged by decades of land war and orbital bombardment. Council controls Marne, one of Gallia's most materially wealthy planets (not that it's made it any less of a hellhole for the working class), and Quillan is still reeling from being conquered twice in the past decade. The border worlds might as well be barren to the Crown right now.
The Taus are fairly rich, but they're also not being handed over on a silver platter. The Outcasts have never made it easy to mine there, but they didn't used to have to deal with a hostile navy on that particular doorstep. It isn't hard to imagine that there will be some rather vicious warship battles in the Taus- quite a few factions there have heavy capital ships, and plenty of enemies.
Gallia has plenty of starting forces- outnumbering the war battered Bretonia roughly tenfold (at least when it comes to warships)- but they're used to being able to throw numbers at the problem and not have it matter. Unless they can press all the way into the Omegas, Dublin, or California, or secure Champagne or the Taus, their ability to get resources where they need to go is somewhat strained. As the Royal Navy advances, Gallia's reach gets ever more fickle- logistics will only become a more and more dangerous problem, far more threatening than any military force Sirius can muster. If the colonies can survive long enough to wage war on Gallia's infrastructure, with privateers or simple siege tactics, they just might make it. Big if, though; it's not easy to topple a juggernaut that's been in the making for seven hundred years.

Oh, stuff you do on the server does matter. Remember, though, Sirius is a big place, and any single event is likely to be meaningless when all is said and done. Large player movements and actions, though, can be reflected in the mod, even if they don't necessarily grind the gears of war to a screeching halt. Diplomacy is far more likely to show up later than combat is- if a series of diplomatic incidents strain relations between Bretonia and Liberty, Bretonia might find that Liberty leaves them to die, focusing instead on readying for the inevitable sledgehammer of the Royal Navy. Don't feel that the devs are blind; we watch, and noticeable trends might alter the style if nothing else. That said, don't expect that any single player is important enough to change anything. To be brutally honest, though; if everything players could cause overarching changes in the mod, wouldn't that suck? Not enough people logged on for an event today, looks like Rheinland conquers Texas- whoops!
Taking a somewhat more literal approach on the railroading concept... players might not be able to blow up the train, but they can paint parts of it different colors. Hopefully that made sense.
' Wrote:...was leaning to Gaian for the Corsair alliance...
Yeah, about that...the next version should in my opinion finally explain relation between Gaians and Corsairs other then just with the mere rep-sheet.
' Wrote:Also, as a BAF, I have lost plenty of fights against the KNF. It swings from one side to the other every month or two.
Yeah, I remember winning several times too. Although those were dire fights and though wins.
Well, and Gaians themselves again want to stay out of everything, apparently. Although you could have clarified what did the Gallians/Gauls did to the planet Gaia. I mean, the Lewis jump hole is right next to it.
Just a note; the Corsairs aren't attacking Bretonia (as in BAF positions), they're attacking Mollys (as in the no1 pirates in Bretonia). They're attacking the Mollys to wipe them out and take control of the piracy in Bretonia fully, not conquer it (they can't).
So, it's not a pincer attack as some might assume; in a way it sort of removes some pressure from BAF in making the Mollys focus on stopping Corsairs.

Well, the Taus are mostly made up of dense ice and asteroid fields (Tau 31 and Tau 23 completely consist of these). Those systems do not lend themselves to capital ship battles because caps have a hell of a time maneuvering in them, whereas Outcast/enemy lighter caps and bombers would have an easier time there. Tactically, pinning part of the Gallian fleet in T31 and launching a massive fighter/bomber attack at them could result in a lot of dead Gallians.

I'm not sure why you think that Markam. The Corsairs are going to be attacking Cambridge, the BPA will have to fight them off. The story says the BPA was brought back to Cambridge to deal with the Corsairs attacking. The Corsairs will be attacking Bretonia, as well as the Mollies, not only the Mollies.
To be fair, the Corsairs have, for a long time, made their desire to control Cambridge clear.

Corsair raids on Cambrige are more impotant for corsairs than those on Dublin for simple reason - food. Dig deeper and I'm sure you'll find it. Also, corsair raids on Cambrige are quite old. Now by raid I actuall mean piracy & plundering.
A good thing is this plot will expend facts that happened in game on the molly side. Also, if Leeds is undefendable with spaceborne forces, where will be the Stirling, York and Derby redeployed ?
Those bloody Frenchies won't have a chance against a challenger. Long Live Bretonia and Long Live the Queen! HUSSAR!
According to you gallia has no large scale fight in these 800 years accept civil war which is mostly fought on land
so this means gallic admirals and commanders have no war experince in space
Second
Kusari has fought a war with bretonia for many years so they have gained some experince actully al lot
so they are more skilled than gallic admirals,commanders
Third
and you are saying
In 818 A.S. the Kusari forces in Tau-31 were quite large, but they were not prepared to engage a superior force in a harsh environment of asteroid fields, mines, and sporadic attacks of Bretonia fighters.
they were staying in that envior meny for many years and gallia has just entered taus how can they easily win
gmg also had a small forces than rheinland navy but becouse of the location of jump holes in sigmas it had defeated rheinland after spending years kusari might no all the location of jh in tau 31 so how can you say this
