Germany is turning itself into what seems to be a massive military-industrial titan, and I strongly suspect he's going to go Soviet on our asses with spreading Communism everywhere.

Rather him do that and me be a main ally cause IRL there is still a Spanish Monarchy who is the Commander in Chief of the Spanish Armed Forces. Just need to not fuck up and keep people happy.

Weren't you complaining of shit defying logical and logistics just last page?
You solved in 40 years something real world scientists have not solved in 140?
Also didn't you throw a fit over the Mughals moving men to Italy even those though soldiers were subsidized by the locals?
This feels like hypocrisy and handwavium.

I'd help you if I could, cept I have no clue either.
The staff is an extremely situational strategic weapon that's basically a WMD. no one wants to see that slipping into the wrong hands.
Magic only goes so far when it goes to fuel science.

Since I have even better magic can I make biplanes that outperform jet fighters?

In theory, Denmark could make tanks that are basically Bolos with that logic.

Pretty sure you can do research projects on that but since you've only had one turn so far, I doubt it.
It's ALREADY in the wrong hands. MINE.
Not really. Pretty sure someone made engines that run on low ambient magic.
They could but why would they. They basically have humanoid WMDs depending on what they researched and i'm not putting it past them to have a Supernova spell ready to make "everyone lose at the same time."
Or maybe not? Not sure because Theravis ruled out Archons but they're as close to it I bet. And Citallon is doing some shady things. xD

There are no allies of the Revolution, only comrades and the enemy. The reactionary old guard, the bourgeoisie, the leeching aristocrats and blinded industrialists, all will fall to make way for the future.
Germany didn't put anything in to magic though, did it?

Is it a bad time to say it's currently travelling over your lands? I'm kidding.
An engine running on magic is a thing.
Can neither deny nor confirm but I think Austria does. Don't care which. My point is that it might be possible that they did solve that problem in some way or another. Magic is just one solution OR part of the solution.

It's all blind conjecture of the sort that has been repeatedly shot down in this very thread. Germany had a magic rating of 1 starting out. They've pointedly pursued technology of magical flim-flam and they had petroleum access as of the start of the game. You want to talk bull, an all weather full biodiesel conversion for armor, aircraft, and naval assets is just that.

Oi.
It happened. It may be bullshit but it happened, functuonally the only difference it makes is that the Germans wont run out of gas for their stuff and will have different strategic objectives. How about we all just move on?
In what way am I salty?
As for why this discussion is happening, if they just use biodiesal it massively effects Germany's capabilities on both tactical and strategic levels.
If they use magical biodiesal it massively effects what everyone can do.
This would be like if I could use sand in place of steel but the material is still just as strong, is lighter, is cheaper, and is more abundant.

They use biodiesal. I'm pretty sure it's a fact that was confirmed by @kızıl sultan himself somewhere.
Magical or not, he has done whatever he needed to to make it a "wonder fuel." It's over and done with. If there was a problem with it, @Theravis would have done something about it.....if he didn't forget. xD
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT! That's fucking awesome. You're not trolling me right?
