Author's Disclaimer - This is not my fault. I had the idea of doing an AAR based on the country everyone loves to hate (or should that be the country every newbie learns to hate?) and I was searching for a theme. Burgundy as the Vandals of Europe? Pythonesque kuh-nigitts on a conquest spree? Acts of Burgundage? Burgundy from the POV of the (psychotic) AI? Then they turned up in my head and resistance, as they say, was futile. So here goes:
Resistance is Futile - The Borgundian Collective
Version - 1.1 vanilla
Country - Burgundy (though I've tweaked the sliders to make them more Borg-esque)
Start - 1453
Difficulty - Hard
Objectives - Global Assimilation (since World Conquest is impossible in v1.1, I'll settle for merely vassalising it).
Resistance - Futile (I hope)
Initial Slider Settings:
Aristocracy/Plutocracy - 1 step to Aristocracy (Should be 0, since the Borg have no concept of either, but Burgundy's government type precludes this. The Collective is investigating.)
Centralisation - Full (They're Borg, Jim.)
Narrowmindedness - Full (The Collective is unclear on the concept of "original thought".)
Merchantilism - Full (The term "free enterprise" gives the Borg neuronic spasms.)
Offensive - Full (The Borg intend to be thoroughly offensive.)
Land/Naval - 0 (The distinction is unnecessary. All will be assimilated.)
Quality/Quantity - 0 (The distinction is irrelevant. Borg superiority in both fields is indisputable.)
Serfdom - Full (Independance in drones is neither necessary nor desirable.)
Post style - Regular updates will be made to the Collective.
Humour - Humour is futile. You will be assimilated.
Comments - Comments are ... wait a minute. Comments are good. Anyone who does not comment will be assimilated. Anyone who does comment will be assimilated too, but they will be made into only the highest quality drones and used only for the most important suicide missions.
