Military Might Calculator

My nation has disarmed....I'd like to see how much stronger your nations are in comparison :D

Here's a little classified information on a certain well-known foreign devil. :D

DH looks like this:

If I increase the Defence priority to Important, we get 90/23. At Priority, it would be 135/34.

How are, or are we going to work this into a type of regional military system?

My weakling army can still beat Nakisia :D

Awesome. Just like real Space-Marines.

Ah, the only true challenger to the might of the Mr Popoan army emerges!

Speaking of spacemarines, anyone else here ever read Starship Troopers? Great book!

Should I be concerned?? NAH!!!!!

Upon further perusal of the military might calculator questions, I believe I should have checked that defence was one of many priorities.
So, may i present:

Still in double digits. :P

Congrats to Esselldee! The first female controlled nation to break out of single digits in military strength. :)

Cool! :ph43r:

I hadn't noticed.

Good eye, Checkers! :D

Wow, Ess, in the 50s... *claps*

Lol...considering violent personality of the national leader, how come Military spending is a low priority? Idea for new puppet...

Do whatever Carb's doing if you want a tough military!
:lol: B)

Fundamentalist government? mmmmm, I'll pass.

Also, I find that a little on the insulting side (not to me personallly). Not all fundamentalist government states are militaristic in nature. Vatican City is a good example. While yes, in the days long since past, they built the city as a fortress, equiped it with cannons, and state of the arts infantry, todays new Vatican City is now guarded by a small elite army of (200 I think) soldeirs equiped with only lances (also called pikes, or spears), and wearing the most colorful and highly conspicuous armour on the face of the planet (Striped orange and violet I believe).

Not nfundamentalist government, but a fundamentalist regligion which is a big difference. My Nation is based on my favourite WarHammer 40,000 Space Marine Chapter, the Blood Angels, who have very a fundamentalist religion, ethos, and doctine. Also hence the pre-fex "Fortress Monastery." The Religion was a big deciding factor. Let's face it, humans have always used Religion as an 'excuse to be really crappy to each other' (Dave Lister, Red Dwarf), so why not. Look at the Islamic forces they're off their bonce because they believe their god is on their side and their doing it's work. It's something to believe in and that if you die you soul, spirit, astral, or ethereal body (or whatever), will go to your equivilent of Valhalla.

I just posted that 'cause Carb's got the strongest military. :rolleyes:

Chill, dude. ;) :P :lol:

Might I add that I'm not sure how to calculate properly.
Is it all about military options re: defending/attacking?
I only want to defend.

*sigh* - blonde roots... :P

When Issues for Military appear, the best thing to do is go for the defensive option. Adding a compulsory Military service also helps. These also help to build your Economy (as do other things) which means you can generate more troops. Law and Order related issues can help this as well, but mostly it's just trial and error.

I chose one year of mandatory service, but when answering the calculator questions I'm not sure if I should check "main priority" or "one of many".
What do they mean by "one of many"?
Is it all to do with military?
If so, then I am all about defense.

Remember, I am a chick and I have "blonde roots"!
:rolleyes: :P :lol:

On your Nations summary there should be what the government prioritises. Something along the lines of:

As Defence is the first priority, it is the main one. It is also listed as one of many, so you can check that box too.

Esselldee:
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Healthcare.


This is with both those options checked:

Triple digits!
lol

Economy and Religion have a lot to do with it as well it would appear.

A fundamentalist religion in the country does not make a country militaristic, and this MM Calculator doesn't suggest that either.

But a fundamentalist religion does make a country way more defensive of their religion and culture; meaning theres a higher number of people willing to die to protect their country.

Thus in this calculator thing, clicking the 'fundamentalist religion' box, only increases defensive military strength. See, the defensive military strength raised 2 points because of it, but the offensive remained the same:

Ah well. It's only a bit of fun.

I would be chilled out if you hadn't taken my sentence totally out of context :P

Yeah I'm not a fan of the belief in creating religious wars in some of the islamic nations. I understand that their religion states that in the end, there will only be one world religion. But should that not be left up to god to decide. Isn't that the point of faith? I saw a show on tv recently where a christian couple and an islamic man sat down to explain why there is so much violence in the middle east and the muslim man said "In our Koran, the end result is that Islam will be the only world religion. This will come about in one of 3 ways. 1) Everyone converts to Islam 2) Those who do not convert to Islam will be killed or 3) Those who do not convert to Islam will be taxed heavily under a certain religious tax we are allowed to give to nonbelievers."

That is what the Jihad is all about

This is aopposed to the christian belief that "God will release the 7 seals that are floodgates to the wrath of god, which will cover the earth in turmoil for 7 years, and in the end, those that do not believe, will be thrown down into the fiery pit of hell by gods own hand."

Well, I guess both are equally gruesome. But at least one doesn't require murder and bloodshed at the hand of men.

Well, my nation is young yet but I intend for my military to be much more proportionally pathetic as I delelop

Hmmm.... Well, it's a good thing I'm generally a pacifist...

Unfortunately I'm not.

*three men in dark suits appear*
1: "We fight because we have to."
2: "There is no alternative."
1: "The alternative is... unpleasant."
*they disappear*

I'm extremely non-militaristic, and extremely religous and extremely enviromentalist.
Lol I have lots of people though....

Not bad. I somehow need to boost the Offensive Military strength... :blink:

Whoa...apparently more people, and a stronger economy, means a stronger army...
