As far as i know, our game planet is defined only by inference. We infer that there is land because we grow food and have troops and tanks; we infer an atmosphere because we have citizens and jets. But we could imagine a fantastical world without an atmosphere and the jets use stabalized thrusters. Since earth isn't objectively defined anywhere and clearly permits physical impossibilites (like having a million tanks on one acre of land), i see no reason to argue that naval, space or cyber units should be deemed impossible because they are somehow constrained by the real earth's physical laws that obviously do not apply to our game planet.

Extending the game to include different mil units may cause us to infer new properties for our imaginary game planet,, but since the planet as such exerts no influence on the game itself, how can it possibly matter? We could change the labels on mil units to apples, pears, bannanas and pineapples and we could use sea shells for cash - all that matters are the properties attached to the objects, like it takes 2 apples to defend equally against 1 bannana.

In summary, our game planet is imaginary, is defined nowhere, and exerts no impact on game play, neither by constraints or shared effects (my earthquakes never hit another country, nor do plagues cross borders, nor fallout from using missiles.) Therefore, to argue as if our game planet is in any way analogous to a real planet is a total waste of bandwidth.

I've heard stories of giant mud trolls, which are related to the north american sasquarch, aka bigfoot. These creatures tend toward boggey river deltas and swamps, but have been reported in isolated small rivers and even large creeks. I would think that thieir natural abilities would preclude them actually getting stuck in mud like a stick, but i suppose anythiing is possible. They are reputed to be slow moving and more stubborn than a mule of similar age.

It will add a new- but reasonable dynamic and make the game more fun-especially for those of us on the alliance server. It would really be great if Navy forces showed up in the next round in our industrial capabilities (and ability to sell on the market) with no warning and no info on whether jets or turrets defend against, etc. Let us players figure it out by trial and error.

We do not currently have space marines or space fights in the real world. However Navy forces have existed here in the real world for quite some time and, as DancingBear has educated everyone, there is no rational reason why Navy cant be a part of the game. However if you truly think space marines needs to be talked about you can start a thread about it and I will be happy to weigh in there. Or if you want, I can create the thread for you so that people who are interested in the topic of Navy forces won't have to go through the cumbersome process of wading through off topic posts about Marshall's space marines adventure.

Another great idea! This game definitely needs a space element. How about instead of a restart bonus countries that are killed start on Mars where there are significantly less resources and have to make their way back to Earth without access to the public market (aside from the martian barter market)
If you give a man some fire, he'll be warm for awhile. If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

I'm just glad that DancingBear really laid out the logic for why Navy forces CAN be added to the game and I would love to see it tried out on the alliance server.

Exactly. All that needs to happen is for Navy units to be added and their attack and defense strengths as well

Very true. There are no "defined" runways and no "defined" airports. We just know they are out there. Same with oceans - we dont need any "defined" oceans. We just need ships and we do attacks. Just like we do with jets.

Why not just institute random forced conversion to a Theo? For example, there has been a fundamental Islamic overthrow of your original government leading to the rise of an Islamic Caliphate along with declining production and revenue, thus turning your country into slag. The same could be said for any other random religion, such as Jehovah's Witnesses have seized power and now your country is pacifist and will NOT launch wars of aggression and conquest in order to grow.
