General Discussion

Zhufor, you get to pick whichever traits you want including government I believe.

But that'd change the flavor of my nation. I could always make it Oligarchy, but still. This doesn't just apply to me but any others who are Monarchies.

Oh I know it applies to everyone...All the governments have been changed like my own Confederacy is now doing:

-- Starts with a Marketplace and a Shrine in the capital city.

How's the National Civic going theo? I'll help if I can, but I'm curious what you're working on.

Tomorrow, in this order:

1. Zvar'Korret ModMarks.

2. King Casimir's ModMarks.

3. Zhufor's set-piece battle.

4. Invasion of Keye posts.

Dead tired tonight. Blaah.

Find it halarious that before a moderator mark is even up informing that Ezria sees it that they are already requesting more aide. You might not see the 4th till they're right on top of your Capitol, wait for the Mod Mark at the very least Ezria, not hard to do.

I didn't say I saw the fourth. It's an excuse for the Ejrakh to send more troops without Ezria losing face, and i'd see them anyway once they left your entrance..and you've been routinely sending reinforcements. Get over it.

None of which you've seen at all. Forces from the Caravan stopped at Death Trap Pass other forces aren't there yet. If anything it'd be easier to assume the Dwarves request aid becuase they've seen not one group but two groups thus far. How does a nation rationalize calling in more aid. Surely there are moral ramifications to that, not to mention changing from Monarcy to Confederacy to Ogilarchy one right after another which the latest change would have had to be approved by the confederacy's leaders would have had to decide as a whole, don't let them you're not an Confederacy changing into a Ogilargchy but a Confederacy changing into a Despotism.

However you rationalize this in you head is beyond me. Only reason why I wanted a Military alliance with Holds before was cuz the honorable trait, never planed to try and use another nation to supplement my own fighting forces because I made bad judgement calls and sent sh-t tons of troops to the wrong area so rely on the strength of others. Pathetic.

Look at the mod marks, I have scouts all over the pass since the beginning of the war (as my people can fly) as Theo has noted and LOL says the man with a bijillion MP stockpiled and just called in 3,000 reinforcements from Zhufor which could grow. If you have a problem with me, take it to PM's or Theo. I changed the sentence in question so I think that's enough out of you. And governments have changed because Theo keeps changing the system, which isn't my fault.

The South Pass where you planned invasion was gonna happen, says nothing about the northern portions of your kingdom. Not my fault you choose to spend all your MP from the get go, I planned ahead you didn't not my fault and I don't plan on throwing Zhufor into the Battle but purely as Defensive aide to ensure the security of my Nation. Was gonna just asked that his forces remain in the rear as defensive units and supply guards but not gonna push that too hard, definately not now.

And I got like 160, if you hadn't recruited so many units you probably would have had around 90-120 ish and only reason I'd have more is cuz population. If you're complaining because of your inability to plan ahead then that's your problem. But whatever floats you boat, I'm determined to make sure I win now. But frankly that just ticks me off. Avian's are arrogant asking for aid would make their leaders appear weak to the citizens. Plus that junk I said in the previous post.

But your right shouldn't have done this in General. Sorry for that, my messages should have been done it in a PM. Doesn't matter now though cuz it's outta my system. Replying to the War Thread then the Battle Thread now.

I'm looking at it from a point of survival. My army just got decimated, I can't replace it like you because I lack the MP. Even the arrogant Roman's had to turn to barbarians from time to time to fend off invaders and it's the same point here. The Ejrakh are the Hun's that are probably going to save me and then turn on me later. And combined MP wise both you and Zhufor can outnumber Ejrakh and I. Not to mention you have those superior heavy infantry..which I can't stand against. But yeah, that's it. Anything else can be said in PM's. Thanks.

Okay, this is everybody's last warning.

If you WANT TO BUY SOMETHING.

PM ME.

Saying you bought it in your D2D does nothing for me because I cannot read everybody's D2D as soon as you write it.

Also Ezria asking Ejrahk for more troops almost seems like crossing the line because not even King Casimir knows the Avians lost the Second Battle of Agrina, and Ejrahk still has 3,000 troops in Ezria.

Might want to hold off on that until some of your characters find out what you yourself know.

Fine.

I just want to let everyone know that RP'ing to facilitate only your kingdoms moves and not RP'ing to RP will hurt you. Every time.

Could you explain that statement Theo or expound on it because I am not sure I understand what you are meaning.

A trend I'm seeing, and I'm guilty of it too, is this.

" Oh .. I have (Resource X) in my land? "

D2D = NEED TO HARVEST RESOURCE X.

RP where it's just the daily life of someone in the empire, or manifesting interesting stories and plots are becoming small. AspenIvan was a master of doing this.

My newest D2D is more of what I'd like to see, but by no means required.

I did something, used a Missionary, but I started a tale, built some characters, et cetera.

Ah so basically as an example my last D2D post with the farmer, but what your mention is basically expounding on that farmer or starting a little story off of him.

Yeah, that was a good post Caexi, but with a little more, I can turn him into a plot, a character, and that will bode well for you. You and Talis check your PM's by the way.

Resend...Anything after my last response to you. My mailbox was full.

Did ModMarks for Zvar'Korett, posted in the Invasion of Keye, posted in the Goblin battle, posted in the Battle of Lashid, and did a D2D.

I'll get to the Republic of Ever-Winter's D2D and the Agrina battle sometime tonight. Whoo!

No rush on Agrina's battle, I'd like to see them live another few hours before they start dying

Well just found out I have to pull a double shift, so it looks like my D2D and Mod Marks for Zhufor and Ezria will probably pop up tomorrow

Zhufor when I get a mod mark with the results of the surveyors exploring the new expanded land I'll probably write a post regarding trade if anything tradable is found. Don't wanna just post saying gotta wait till they get back cuz them along with ambassadors escorts from Mille might end up returning next mod mark so I can write an appropriate reply to your post.

Just letting you know.

EDIT: Not sure how often he checks his PM's but real reason for the edit I wrote some things for my military units. (the warriors/spearmen/skirmishers/swordsmen) left out the cav cuz dwarves won't have 'em for long i suspect

Can't wait for the National traits to be done, I've got my new faction all lined up.

I'm 4/8 on it.

50% done but my other ideas are experimental and not working out like I want them.
