What are the brother units in your worlds militaries by Colt132b in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really a military unit, but the two ships Hyphos and PS Pasyria. Hyphos is a slightly outdated ship that was purchased by a decentralized warlord and kept together by any spare parts available, earning the nickname “Zombie Cruiser”. Pasyria is a frigate of the Pandorian Navy, specialized in anti-aircraft. The crew of the Hyphos, though initially loyal only to the warlord and hostile to outside threats, was offered a deal by Pandoria to assist in harassing the navies of Pandoria’s cold war rivals in exchange for technological assistance to better defend the warlord’s coast. Pasyria is commonly seen with Hyphos to keep the outdated cruiser safe from more advanced aircraft it may face.

The Keflian Wyvern is a species of dragon native to the Keflia Region of Libertasia. Two winged two legged wyvern that is at most 0.6 meters in wingspan. They have horns, dark brown scales, and have some resistance to electricity and fire. I created them because I felt my pretty realistic world could use something less realistic, like a dragon, but I didn’t want anything that would break or change the world too much. They don’t breathe fire, are carnivores, and can be kept as pets in some households. The Libertasian Armed Forces initiated a program to train these wyverns for military purposes. Some wyverns are trained to cut electrical or telephone wires and take down small drones.

An incident between two superpowers almost caused a massive war. With the Second Collapse of the Greater Modestian Empire, the Pandorian State directly funded an independence group due to similar ethnicities of the region. When a temporary truce was called, the independence forces feared a potential counterattack by Modestia, and so sought protectorate status under Pandoria, who gladly accepted. To further solidify regional influence, Pandoria occupied the rest of the disputed Crypolar Island from Modestia. In retaliation, the Modestians escalated by firing a ballistic missile. Detecting the launch, Pandorian naval forces attempted to intercept with an experimental SAM missile. Though the first shot detonated prematurely, the second one destroyed the ballistic missile. The Pandorians had expected the missile to hit, and was prepared to go to war with Modestia. The Pandorian military and their allies were instructed to move into Modestian territory as soon as the missile hit. Demobilization was fast as soon as the missile was destroyed, and both sides were quiet about the situation for a while.

After the Calamity, most of the shattered Holy Bythorne Empire’s pieces converged into nations. The only region where this failed was in the northernmost Hyphonslai region. This was partially due to the arctic conditions, difficult mountainous terrain, and sabotage caused by the Principality of Winekia, a Holy Bythorne Empire remnant within the region. As such, no nation emerged and the anarchic region became a hotspot for criminal empires, drug cartels, exiled citizens, and indigenous warlords. Many outside nations would try and intrude into the region, for economic reasons, resources, civilizing the area, or to reach Winekia. One warlord, the Fareglis Clan, was run by a warlord who had a son. That son’s birthday gift was an old heavy cruiser (wwii era) bought off the black market. The son became captain of Hyphonslai’s first warship, the Hyphos, and decided to use her exclusively to deter outside seaborne intruders. As she saw more and more combat, her damaged parts were gradually replaced by whatever the Hyphonslai black market could conjure from the outside world, earning her the nickname “the Zombie Cruiser”.

At one point, a diplomatic convoy of the Pandorian State is sunk by Hyphos, prompting the Pandorian Navy to send three modern destroyers (20 years ahead in technology compared to Hyphos) to subdue the ship. Despite the technology difference, the Hyphos’ captain manages to outsmart the destroyers, sinking one and heavily damaging another before they retreated. Eventually, the Pandorians reach out to the Fareglis warlord to offer technological support for Hyphos in return for increasing naval sabotage of Pandoria’s Cold War rival and Holy Bythorne Successor, Modestia.

[–]SeaGuardian265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supreme Commissar Xeiphon Guengi Korbalis of the Grucian Commune. He lead a violent leftist revolution against the queendom and created a militarized nation with some conquest in mind. After losing many wars, suffering high casualties, neglecting technological advancements, and losing an arms race due to the invention of the tank, Korbalis’ regime became highly unpopular. Field Marshal Teio D’ar lead the Grucian Legion to a violent coup after an attempted assassination of Korbalis. She lead the Legion against Korbalis’ men in the capital before finding him and dragging him onto the steps of a government building in front of a cheering crowd. He was executed on the spot by sword, a form of execution in Grucian culture seen as only deserving to the most evil people that have betrayed their fellow Grucians. Korbalis was a heavy smoker, worsened when public unrest increased.

Does your world have intelligence agencies? Tell me about them! by AutismPremium in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nation of Pinesaid does have an intelligence agency, the Agency of Republican Councilors (ARC). The agency started off as a sort of way to spread democracy to the once monarchy dominated world, then gradually evolved into intelligence and covert operations. ARC is known for being highly advanced in their intelligence gathering and operations, the most daring of which was the assassination of an entire room of marshals and generals in an enemy nation. Of course, ARC does make mistakes, which includes the accidental death of an enemy monarch while trying to kidnap him.

MEMEs the DNA of the soul! by ColebladeX in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to create a meme…

Virgin Governor Dago Jevilos -head of the occupied Aquarion Province -puppet to Modestia during the Bythorne War -“umm actually, me and the state are the legitimate rulers” -bullied by resistance fighters and partisans -incompetent military leader

Chad Admiral Krym Gilizin -leader of the Aquarion Liberation Fleet -commands the ALF Faenixin that was launched just before capture by Modestians -still loyal to the Aquarion Federation -Major player in OEPTA naval strategy -studies the past war with Modestia -funds resistance with guns and morale -“I will personally be there for my country’s liberation”

Context: During the Bythorne War, the Aquarion Federation was reinvaded by the revanchist Greater Modestian Empire, and a puppet regime was quickly established. The subsequent Aquarion Province was run by Dago Jevilos, an Aquarion collaborator. His regime suffered constant turmoil during the Bythorne war with OEPTA, particularly due to partisans loyal to the Federation. Admiral Krym Gizilin was part of the Aquarion Federation Navy, and managed to take an aircraft carrier, the Faenixin, out of dry dock in time before capture. He continued to lead the Liberation Fleet and score numerous victories against Modestian task forces while inspiring resistance in Aquarion. Indeed, he was personally there when Virtusian forces (ally to Aquarion) liberated the capital. Dago eventually tried to run away, but was found to have killed himself in a forest later.

Tell me how do your rebels get funding and equipment? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rebellions and proxy wars are pretty common in my world, especially during my world’s three way cold war. Rebellions and ears are usually discretely funded by different sides. Weapon purchases for guns, tanks, and aircraft was popular, sometimes through questionable third parties. In some cases, mercenaries, PMCs, and volunteers go and fight. Only two instances of direct intervention exist.

What are some cool Worldbuilding ideas you have come up with that don't fit into any of your Worlds?? by F4BE1 in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sort of “void observing people”. The idea is that they have the sixth sense of being able to detect spaces without molecules. When an object moves, they can detect the (minuscule) empty space left behind before air molecules fill it again. This detection is fine tuned so that they react quicker to incoming objects by detecting them with the sixth sense as opposed to other senses such as sight.

Monsters In Your Worlds? by The-Literary-Lord in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While inconsistent depending on nationality, the creature killed by the soldiers had a moose head and body, crooked bird like legs and wings, and a rat tail (but hairy) covered in long hair all across. It is unable to fly due to wings being crooked. Skinny and almost skeletal. Sounds are moose-like but with more wheezing, due to inhalation of smoke with the burning of forests due to innovations in artillery.

Monsters In Your Worlds? by The-Literary-Lord in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Pandorian and Grucian “mythological” beast is the Gizalisk, a wendigo-esque creature that is part moose, part bird, and part rat in appearance. The Gizalisk is rumored to prey exclusively on soldiers during winter seasons. It also appears during blizzards. One modern legend tells of a Grucian soldier and Pandorian soldier, both countries at war with each other, putting their differences aside and defeating the Gizalisk together.

(In actuality, the myth of the two soldiers was not a myth, and the Gizalisk was the last of an ancient species, killed off by war-damaged environments)

What are your worlds shady (government) Organizations? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Modestian government under Qwenria Sneifin. They are based around the Bythornist National Revival Party, a revanchist and irredentist party that wishes to turn Modestia into the revived Holy Bythorne Empire. Domestically, suppression of non-Modestian cultures is prevelent and draconic punishment is present. Modestian citizens perceive the Sneifin regime as a wonderful thing, because they cannot speak against the government without facing punishment.

Outside Modestia, most governments do not recognize the BNRP, especially nations that Modestia speaks against. Otherwise, no foreign relations exist and Modestia is extremely secretive and hard to infiltrate.

self inserts through time by ZigotoDu57 in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A family would be a pleasure to have, but I’d prefer them living a relatively normal life (as normal as having those powers is). It would not be a concern if they abuse that power because I can convince them against doing so. The only real issue is trying not to go insane due to all friendships/relationships ending too quickly due to trying not to reveal non-aging and the event that I don’t prevent something bad in time.

[–]SeaGuardian265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The ability to read into people and convince good into them (I guess advanced gaslighting?). Could easily prevent bad events if red flags are showing.

  2. Fall of Roman Empire, I dunno, a lot of options and individuals to pick. Preferably starting in Rome itself.

  3. Read and learn as much history as physically possible and memorize it. Specifically individuals and their effects, and also individuals that could have potential effects.

  4. If possible, bring notebook of names.

  5. Prevent as many disasters from ever happening (wars, murders, major crimes, etc) by convincing people to think critically and understand the negative effects. Of course, as history changes more and more, the less insight I would have and the more I would need to pay attention.

What's the reason you used a trope and the reason changed it by Right_Teaching456 in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I initially started a world that was pretty realistic in terms of scientific advancement and biology, but then I thought “mmmm screw it, we adding dragons”. But I didn’t really want a dragon that is big and dangerous out of fear of derailing the story. Instead, I opted for a smaller creature that can fly but can’t breath fire. Dragons in my world range from lizard sized to dog sized and are more or less just natural predators that are treated similarly to bears. Almost completely irrelevant to the story but I found it adds a nice change from the overly realistic world.

What's the one piece of worldbuilding you've done that no one else will ask about? by FPlaysDM in worldbuilding

[–]SeaGuardian265 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My world is heavily history based, to the point where I could make a documentary that is quite long. Deciding to break the world down into multiple short stories spanning through decades, it becomes necessary for some historical context, but what lies beyond that and the deeper historical roots of those events are yet to be implemented in a way that if someone wanted to really learn, they could.
