Chairman Meshelic's Journal Entry, January 1320 A.D.
January 13th - My campaign for Commander of Apolyton's military has gone more smoothly than I imagined. My opponent, MrMitchell, himself seems unsure of his own abilities, and has actually gone so far as to support my own platform! All jokes aside, I was relieved at the ease of my campaign, although I took it upon myself to continue riding the train all over the nation....from Ubergorsk, my home, to Jerusalem, Tassagrad, Another Glorious City, Gaia, Port Rouge, all the while continuing the win the support of my fellow Apolytonians....long have I traveled, however. Now that the elections are done and past, I will rest in my home in Ubergorsk, overlooking the ocean and taking in the warm air off the sea....
January 14th - Ships come and go, with their glorious sails standing strong and blowing in the wind, the cross of Apolytonia dramatically fluttering in the wind....I enjoy watching them pass by, on to foreign ports as well as our own....reminds me of my days when comrade Shiber and I journeyed to the far east in our rickety caravel, for back then we had no sturdy, strong ships like today. When we explored and found the Japanese, the Chinese, the Indians, the Zulus, people who had heard nothing of the Banana, nor Apolyton itself. Ah those were the days.....
January 15th - I write this entry now in astonishment, for as I look out onto the beautiful port of Ubergorsk, it is not Apolyton vessels I see but the reddened masts of the Japanese fleet! They do not appear hostile, but many Ubergorskians are crowding the ports and pointing in amazement. This is the first time Ubergorsk has seen foreign ships near it's harbors. The Japanese travel west, who knows where they are going?
January 18th - It was early in the morning, today, that a messenger from General E_T arrived at my door, banging loudly and awaking my wife and child. When I asked what the devil was going on, he told me grimly, "The Japanese have landed..." I rushed to Command Headquarters immediately, Senators, Generals and even President Arnelos were there, all of them debating what must be done. Some believed that the Japanese had landed on our shores merely to help us in our war against the Germans and Romans, others foresaw an invasion....
January 18th - This evening the Japanese attacked! It was a blessing nearly that they attacked when they did, for had they invaded hours earlier our glorious cities would surely be in German hands....General E_T appointed me to re-route supplies and troops to our cities for proper defense, thankfully they got there in time before the Japanese cavalry and longbowmen units arrived. They were defeated, but this latest treachery will not go unnoticed....
From the memoirs of Meshelic, SMC and Chairman of the Labor Party....

I would support an invasion of Japan proper, although I suspect LOTS of opposition to that idea. Many, if not most, people here seem to no longer seek war, even against the treacherous Zulu and Japanese....remember, Shaka DID attack us and we sued for peace like a bunch of weaklings....
I'd support the invasion of Japan, but this would be a rather large operation, (coordinating Transports, Destroyers, Battleships, with Bombers, Fighters, Infantry, Tanks...etc).
The Japanese should be taught a lesson, beyond the destruction of their Imperial Fleet....

Talking about fun...
I know, we already won the game and so; we only have to build every improvement in every city, and wait for the Spaceship to Alpha Centauri. Well, it's ok to me.
But... I really would like to see and take part in such adventure... (I never played like that!)
An operation like that is a fantastic challenge.
(we could even have a stack of paratroopers and call it "Easy Company"!  )
For everybody who wants to learn some logistic and strategy, this is an unique opportunity!
If we decide not to do that, I'm planning to keep some saves and, when the game is over, find a bunch of friends to play that invasion. 
Just my two (devalued) cents.

Panag,
look again. It says that we will not build AEGIS cruisers because chances are we shall be done with the space race by the time we acquire the technology, thus making it unnecessary to build them.
panag, a little cooperation please. that's all I'm asking for, just a little.
Ok. Short term.
As soon as we can build Destroyers and transports, battleships, etc here are my initial requests:
6-10 Destroyers
5-10 Transports (depending on whether we invade Japan or not)
5 Battleships
those are my first requests, which I will make public one we research the technology.
They will be built wherever possible, since it's up to the DM and the RA's to decide amongst themselves where to build them. Preferably they will be built in the highest production centers as possible, especially the battleships, as they are pretty big projects for military units.
Aircraft carriers will follow shortly, again, when we have the technology. Once we have Flight, and Advanced Flight, I will make the appropriate build requests.
That is all for now. Any further questions, gentlemen?

Absolutely. Battleships are probably my favorites units overall, besides Bombers and Modern Armor....

Destroyers : Why? They become obsolete as soon as Battleships can be built and can be upgraded. |
Good point. I usually base my preferences due to my SP games, but of course, my initial requests (ideas for naval) builds, will be reformed at the appropriate time. They do have a longer movement range, as Panag commented, though.
quote:
Transports: Won't upgrading all our Galleons provided sufficent Transports? |
Probably, but in the future a lot of the transport issues will be decided on whether we go after Japan, the mainland....we might need more. We'll see.
quote:
Air Craft Carriers : Why? Our core area is on the largest contientant. We have plenty of cities to base the Bombers out of. |
Mostly in case of an invasion of Japan, we won't have bombers with long enough range. However, if we are generally peaceful the remainder of the game, we probably won't need them.
quote:
Subs: Given the AI almost always escorts its Transports, we can't use more than a couple. |
They'll become more useful once the Manhattan Project is built. For self-defense mostly, of course.
