The Dark Lord Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Is it possible to survive on Svalbard? If it is, then that's where I'm going to be located. If not, then I guess we could share Norway, or I could find another part of Scandinavia. EDIT: Hell yeah, I'm picking Svalbard.

Seraphi Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Okay, over the christmas holidays I'm going to be fleshing out the kingdom rules again. This time, there will be no going crazy with unit values and such, but we will still be using the basic fire emblem style of battle. I'm going to fix up the resource management, as well as get a set of rules down for unit strengths and effects which cannot be abused. I'm still not including magic, since people seem to hate the idea. I'll hopefully be gettin Screenmonkey full, so it can all be done. Don't start this with Hegemony rules, as that would fail.

Retech Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Can you help us balance our unit effects and such? Basically act like a mod at the beginning? Master of your domain?

Seraphi Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 The way I plan to do it is that there will be no way to abuse the settings and such. You'll have your units, and that will be it. I will be moderating the effects, though, since that is the one thing which can be abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphi Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 By the way, I think we'll only be using Europe. Since, y'know. The ocean is big. And people back then had no way to cross it to America and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people back then had no way to cross it to America and such. I think we should give some lands for exploration, though. (Greenland, Iceland, etc) Maybe we could keep the Americas in the game and just disallow people from playing as an American tribe. The Americas gives us reason to explore.

Seraphi Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 But the chances of making such a voyage are slim, is all I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retech Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Will we be able to construct ocean-faring ships? If not, then I'm stuck on Britain forever. Anyways, maybe there could be at a certain point in time, after everyone is fully developed and fighting for limited land, a special event which unlocks the mystery of building a ship that can travel to the Americas.

The_Mather1 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Special ships? We know at least Viking Longships can do it, so can very light rafts. And, Ross, those were first attempts, just saying. Twitter: @TheMather1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphi Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 It also takes years to do. England is not far away from france, so that is fine, but I still don't think we should use the Americas or Africa. This is the reason I didn't want to use the current map of Earth.

The Dark Lord Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 It'll take me years before I can develop ships that can sail to Europe. I think I'm actually the same distance from Greenland as I am from Europe. Hmm. Oh well. I get to battle monsters (if we're using them) and build up a fleet. -- Anyway, here is a little history type thing that I thought of. Tell me if you like it. Svalbard is a legendary land in the North that is inhabited by Norsemen who migrated to the region from Nordland centuries ago. It is rumored that the Norsemen who inhabit this cursed land are ruthless warriors who battle brutal beasts that inhabit the Ice Fields of Acheron. For a long time, the Svalbard Vikings have seemingly vanished from History. However, Europeans fear the barbarians because of stories about the Svalbard Vikings being half man and half beast.

Seraphi Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 We need a method so that every player can interact without years of developing seafaring craft and then further years of travel.The Earth map just wont work. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Lord Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 I was adding a little alternative history twist into it. The Ice Fields are the glacial zones on Svalbard. (about 60% of the archipelago is covered in ice)"Nordland" is just an alternative name for Northern Norway, yes. It can also refer to most of Scandinavia in general, however. I hope that clears up some confusion. EDIT: It would be awesome if you could translate those names into Norwegian. (If you want, so it kind of fits in a little bit.)

Seraphi Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Mather, you need to stop being so protective of Norway. Yes, we understand that you have a lot of pride in your homeland, but theres no need to correct everyone who makes a mistake on a damned RP board. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul191600 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I think we should include at least North Africa and the Middle East.

The Dark Lord Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 I think we should include at least North Africa and the Middle East. Everything within the red box could be the game area. If we reach a certain point where we're ready for expansion, we could extend that box deeper into Asia and Africa and discover the New World. This game area forces everyone to be closer together, and it eliminates the problem concerning distances. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

The_Mather1 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 It would be awesome if you could translate those names into Norwegian.Most names are the same in Norwegian and English. But if you want to name things after what they are then I'd be happy to help.A few related words:Glacier = isbre.Mountain = fjell.Ice = is.White = hvit / kvit.Snow = snø / sne.Blizzard = snøstorm / snestorm.Valley = juv.Creek = bekk.River = elv.Ocean = hav / sjø.Dock = havn.Bear = bjørn.Wolf = ulv.Lake = insjø/sjø.The last metric miles of ariver meeting ocean = fjord.Island = øy / ø.Dragon = drage / drake.Dog/hound = hund.Lynx = gaupe.Elk/moose = elg.Raindeer = reinsdyr.Cave = hule.Plateau = platå If there's any other words you need translating just ask.
