Waaaait... What's going on with the Polar-GOD/Kronos/VE/wF/The Ninjas/Misfit Nations fronts? Did this thing turn into a Three-way dance, or has Polar effectively declared war on [i]everyone[/i]?

That was Bloody Nicholas's decision. I went with the flow. I believe all three had already surrendered before the end of the day of April 29th.

This is more than apt card for this situation... JUSTICE-- JUSTICE RESPONSIBILITY DECISION CAUSE AND EFFECT Now Karma has to make a choice. In one hand, more war reps than anyone has ever seen. In the other, nothing. There is no middle ground anymore. Karma, in their pursuit of "Justice", have been reduced to a binary choice, and the responsibility of that decision is theirs alone. Do they choose peace, and get their spoils of war? Or do they choose war, and get nothing? Bear in mind, Karma, that it has become clear that some powers in your coalition have concluded that others have lost sight of what karma means. There certainly will be an effect to the decision you make.

ooc- Except, as I pointed out earlier, the harsh terms became the fuel to the fire. And, in case you haven't noticed, the concept of revenge has become a popular rationale for Karma nations. If they aren't careful, it too, in due time, may become a popular rationale for Hegemonic nations too. By my use of the 30's and 40's, I'm implying the point of no return had already been crossed. The damage done by the Treaty of Versailles can no longer be undone, and the result; an even bigger, bloodier war. This is what I'm getting at, if Karma wants more war, then go for the severe route and try to get blood from the stone. There are consequences to this route, though. It may not happen in 6 months, it may not happen in a year, but, eventually, the aftermath of this war will result in the beginning of yet another war. Isn't this logic precisely a major reason why many alliances are involved in this war? Isn't "Consequences for Your Actions" a major rallying cry for the Karmic side? But if they want the cycle of war and violence to possibly come to an end, Karma must rethink just what they want.

ooc-- 1. The more apt comparison here would be between the NPO and, maybe, the Wiemar Republic. But definitely not the Nazis. 2. The severe impositions made by the Treaty of Versailles heavily fueled the support for the Nazi Party, which led to their rise to power. One of Hitler's original goals was to completely undo the Treaty of Versailles economically and militarily. The point being made: The only thing an overly severe peace treaty will accomplish is to set the stage for the next major war.

That idea worked out well for Europe in the 1930's and 40's.

This change BLOWS! It makes maxing out your soldier count a crap shoot before the "overly strong" penalty kicks in. Here's an idea: Make the environment have no effect on population whatsoever. Make it a pure happiness effect instead.
