Still in Shadow Empire,
It is becoming a bit scary how almost every free hour from the last 2 months went into this still lasting game. And, i'm not even sure in which phase i'm currently at ( begin, mid end etc ) technology wise i progressed about for about 40 %. Made some mistakes, for example there are tech advances called linear research that can be researched almost indefinitely since the progress made stands for % improvements along the entirety of a product group and can be obtained with every percentual ( yea yea dutch word i know ) gain which i discovered after noticing research almost not progressing anymore thinking the holdup had something to do with a department suffering from brainfreeze or a especially hard part of the research that needed a high dice score to progress any further but no, it was much simpler.
So what are we looking at.
Empire 1 is a picture of the current make up of territory. The nation i'm uhm governing is center stage thick white lined " Steelfort" ( made up out of multiple provinces ) who currently has its eye on the smaller nation red lined located on the South Eastern border called
' Jacobsfeld ' A simple farmers community. The other regimes are of equal size, at least territory wise but are about 10% ahead tech wise, which is quite a lot. about the difference of laserweapons vs machine guns and some i noticed are already researching force fields while our army is just implementing polymer armor ( about twice as strong as metal and twice as light )
Still with Steelfort holding a firm second place in the national standings i belief that is a deterrent strong enough to ensure some fake smiles during the occasional gatherings of powers of the world which can be seen in picture Empire 2.
Empire 3 shows a close up of the pending attack on Jacobsfeld's only capital. Winning the capital means a capitulation so an easy win. The picture became a bit vague while adjusting the size levels but their capital is surrounded between some mountain passes so fairly hard to get by which is why i selected my the troops, a battalion of first generation walkers soon to be upgraded to be a regiment of unstoppable walkers which are in fact house sized manned tanks on feet. That regiment supported by a infantry regiment and a mechanized infantry regiment will start their attack somewhere in the coming months ( literally )
which brings us to the last screenshot, empire 4 another close up of the capital of Jacobsfeld showing also a farming community and a small village
remember Jacobsfeld as a proud community of farmers who stood in the way of progress
remember them!
