User blog:Devin HD Mapping/Shattered Greece Map Game progress

So I decided to make a map game based on Greece. It's basically about the (hypothetical) collapse of Greece. Turkey, Albania, Macedonia, and Bulgaria all took some land from Greece, and the rest of the nation is split into 5 separate nations + Athens (which is not claimed by anyone and is in a state of total anarchy (the kind that most people are reminded of when they think of anarchy.)) The 5 nations are Thessaly, 4th Hellenic Republic (West and Central Greece combined and also an attempt to reunite Greece under a 4th republic), Sparta, Crete, and the Aegean State.

Populations of each country can be different from reality, as well. However, there are limits. Here are all of the limits:

4th Hellenic Republic can have up to 10 million inhabitants.

Sparta can have up to 3 million inhabitants.

Crete can have up to 750,000 inhabitants.

Aegean State can have up to 320,000 inhabitants.

Thessaly can have up to 750,000 inhabitants.

Albania can have up to 3,400,000 inhabitants.

Macedonia can have up to 4,000,000 inhabitants.

Bulgaria can have up to 7,810,000 inhabitants.

Turkey can have up to 30,000,000 inhabitants (nerfed).

Here are more rules:

1.) Your army size needs to be realistic. Ex: Sparta can't have 2 million soldiers.

2.) You can't play as nations other than the 9 provided. However, Albania and Macedonia can invade and annex Kosovo and/or Montenegro.

3.) Because of Rule #2, NATO, CSTO, or any other military and economic alliance aren't allowed in the game. However, each of the 9 nations can form their own alliances. Ex: Sparta and Bulgaria can form a military alliance so that Bulgaria can aid them in reuniting Greece.

4.) Each turn starts after every player has done their turn and once I or someone else has made a map for the next turn. If you don't do your turn within 2 days, you'll be warned. If not by a whole week, you're kicked from the game and it continues as normal.

5.) This game is set in 2018. As such, no research or technology from before 2010 is allowed nor is technology from after 2025. Also, your tech tree starts at 2010, so you can't rly research any tech from before 2010.

6.) Each nation has their technology set in 2010 and you can't research more than 4 things (Bulgaria and Turkey), 3 things (Macedonia and Albania), 2 things (4th Hellenic Republic and Sparta), and 1 thing (Crete, Thessaly, and Aegean State) at a time.

7.) Each turn marks a month in game time, so make expansion realistic. Ex: Bulgaria can't fully conquer Macedonia within one turn, unless they have better technology than Macedonia.

8.) Turkey can't have more than 150,000 troops. This is to prevent them from taking over everyone in a few turns. Albania, Macedonia, and Bulgaria can't have more than 150,000 troops for the same reason. The 4th Hellenic Republic can't have more than 100,000 troops also for the same reason. However, these nations can raise this limit with their national focus. Everyone else can have conscription laws that bring their active personnel above those limits, as long as it doesn't bring it above 50% of their entire population.

9.) If I'm away for a while, I'll pass the control over to another user via a vote. Whoever gets over half of the vote is the one who controls it.

10.) If you want more rules added to this list, just message me on my message wall.

Now, I'll discuss what your submission *should* look like. I'm just using a random example for this, but you do you. Here it is:

Country: Bulgaria

Army Size: 123,456 active personnel

Conscription Law: Limited Conscription (I'll explain this afterwards)

Research: 2010 Model Tank II, 2010 Model Fighter Jet II, Submarine II, 2010 Model Machine Gun II

Territorial Focuses: Macedonia and East Thrace (Turkey)

Population: 7,654,321 inhabitants

Natural Resources (optional): Steel and aluminum

Alliance offers: Albania, Sparta, and Aegean State

Conscription laws are basically boosts to your recruitable population. Here's all of them:

Disarmed Nation (50% decrease), Limited Conscription (default for all nations), Extended Conscription (15% increase), Service by Requirement (25% increase), All Male Adults Between 18-60 Years of Age Serve (35% - 50% increase).
