How do I get images to appear in my posts?

I've had an idea for something very similar in mind for a while now, though it'd be a bit different. It'd be set somewhat further into the future, races would be alliances and i'd want to add political parties/systems too.

Why Austria? Why the powerless Japanese Emperor as head? And why Napolitano instead of Prodi?

Good mod, my only complaint is that all of the race bonuses are the same.

Finland is the current Council of the EU, presided by European Council Matti Vanhanen. Perhaps a better face would be José Barroso, head of the European Commission, the executive body of the EU (Portguese if you wondered).

Koizumi and Prodi are both head of government, which seems a more realistic qualification than head of state. After all, you chose Merkel instead of Köhler too.

What about Russia and India? They seem far more likely candidates to get into space than Italy. Also, think of Indonesia, Pakistan, etc.

The mod seems awfully Eurocentric now.

I might downgrade some of the european nations to minors in the future.

I've reconsidered which nations would be likely to get into space and have drawn up a list of nations to use in the future update. I am also going to include some minors.

Major Races
American Union
British Empire
Russian Federation
People's Republi of China
Republic of Korea (South)
Japanese Empire
Indian Republic
Xith Empire
Thalan Republic

Minor Races
French Empire
German Federation
European Union
Indonesia
Brazil
Mexico

I'm still looking for other portraits to use for Thalan minors.

I wondered, on what did you base your list? Population, GDP, military expenditures, etc? Or did you just figure these would be the ones?

I came up with a set of 10 that includes pretty much the entire world:

1. Great-China: China, Taiwan, Philipines, part of Indochina
2. Great-India: India, Nepal, Burma, part of Indochina
3. Coalition of the Willing: United States, Great-Britain, Australia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi-Arabia, Israël, Poland, etc.
4. Islamitic Union: Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, North-Africa (Islamitic part), etc.
5. Great-Japan: Japan & Korea [North-Korea has been conquered and reunited with the South]
6. Pan-Russian Union: The former Soviet Union, Serbia, Rumenia, Moldavia
7. South-American Populist Union: Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Mexico
8. South-American Free Trade Union: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, etc.
9. European Union: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Chech Republic, Austria, Malta, Greece, Great-Netherlands (Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg), Scandinavian Federation (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark), Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia
10. Sub-Saharan Union: Congo, South-Africa, rest of Southern Africa (Christian part)

what about Alaska!? you must have Alaska! (I'm not from Alaska, don't think I am, not the there is something bad in Alaska but i'm from CA...)

To the average american, the only difference between a state and a country is the U.S. military usually won't invade a state...usually.


ooo...did I just say that?

I've decided to include a campaign. Any thoughts and/or ideas for it wanted.

I've just added some more races for use in the update. Majors Cybernetic Alliance-a robotic race Minors Free Robots Union Sandia-a squirrel-like race Others The Black Knights

what did you mean by other?
Are the black nights the equivilant to the Dread Lords?

In a way, the Black Knights are equivalent of the Dread Lords and will faeture in the campaign.
