Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
The one in thread VIII is so far behind that I'd rather just leave it, though there is that handful that hasn't been updated to the Lands thread yet. The Lands thread version of the region list is also a small bit behind at the same time. If someone would be willing to at least find out which of the two lists is more up to date where and reconcile those differences then I could take it from there.

As for power armor: the armor is the easy part, but I figure most people going for power armor have the power part not really be the armor getting powered, rather more the person inside deriving power from the armor instead.
Besides, all the developments, tech or otherwise, that I had in mind for the Salterri--both on my own and devised with Rizban--could easily be explained with good reason by going Tellurian Spiral Power.
On a more serious bust just as truthful level, I did advertise Empire way at the beginning in several threads, including the Warhammer 40K, World of Darkness and Exalted threads. This because it'd be more interesting to also have some influences from those rather than merely D&D and human history.Homebrewer's Signature | Avatar by Strawberries

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
You know, it didn't really bother me until I started listening to skeptic conferences and blogs, but these days I'm getting increasingly annoyed by the whole notion of magic tech. When you combine methodological reasoning and experimentation with lucid dream logic word salad, you just wind up with lucid dream logic word salad that wears the trappings of something that makes actual sense.
So, you want "Magitech Powered Armor"? Sure, that's easy enough, but you might just as well call it by its more common name, "An Enchanted Suit of Armour".Last edited by DoomHat; 2014-10-12 at 02:25 PM.

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
That's not necessarily fair. If the same magic can be used in the same way to accomplish the same effect on a consistent basis, it is absolutely a technology. It's just not one that exists in real life. Further, using "magical" materials with consistent properties in your technology would still be technological. For example, Glazfell has produced an innovation on plate armor that's somewhat more ergonomic than equivalent-period plate was in real life by trapping a layer of Cavor Oil into the hauberk. A little bit like attaching a large helium balloon to the helmet, except more evenly distributed over the body and less silly-looking. This could absolutely be described as magitech, given that it is technology that incorporates magic. Originally Posted by DoomHat

It probably has to do with our alliance. But that's fine. If Hurosha wants to alienate their old allies, that's fine by me. Originally Posted by SamBurke

Your quite close ties with the Glazfell and the Tzaltec. You haven't done anything to offend me directly no, and you've always been a staunch ally and a good friend, but bad emotions are brewing and Hurosha is getting nervous. So don't worry, you're not immediately cut off or anything :P. Originally Posted by SamBurke

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
Here you go. I used Wombat's list as it's more up-to-date although there are a lot of blank rows that might want to be removed. Also the way Wombat originally organised it, the links go to the main kingdom post rather than to the individual regions, but in some cases (mostly to do with Calorum and recent acquisitions from NPCs) the regions are actually spread across multiple posts in different threads so I've linked those to the region posts as appropriate. Originally Posted by Morph Bark
Since Wombat's table didn't include a player column I've done a separate table indicating which player is in charge of what as well, which might be easier to keep updated anyway.
Spoiler: TablesA region number with an A after the number is an aboveground region that has another region situation below them, an underground region with the same number with a B (A for “above”, B for “below”).
Spoiler: Stuff Already DeterminedSome regions are already partially determined in what resources or terrain features they have. If you are a new player to the game, you may contact Morph to see if the resources may be waived so you can use all of your own ideas for it. (As a new player you always start with 3 resources, so if a region listed below has less than 3, you always gain extra to bring you up to 3.)
The explorers from Ri Chugang discover a small nation of northern city-states, possibly bordering the realm of the Old Imperium. It contains one Good resource of fibrous flame and one Good resource of tangled lightning, which the mystical masters of the cities produce. The region has 59000 inhabitants and it has 1000 soldiers it recently raised when refugees from the west came in.
Ri Chugang has also encountered a larger remnant of the Old Imperium that calls itself the Greatest Kingdom of Zuiguo. Two of its regions have been discovered, one in the west and one to the southwest, northwest of Nia Hai Nian. The northern of the pair borders the city-states and has one Good resource of aimoh, a soothing drink, and one Good resource of ban-terato. It has 121.000 inhabitants. The southern region has one Good resource of nightcrackle lichen, one Good resource of spirit crickets and 99000 inhabitants, primarily composed of Dùn, a tailless reptilian race with hard-shelled backs. Both regions have 5000 soldiers.
The Ashenian Cave Divers bring back reports of vast tunnel systems under Lacertia and Ashenia! Underneath Lacertia they find one Good undefined resource and have yet had little contact with natives, who shy away in the darkness, but by estimations (which are surprisingly exact) come to 34000. Underneath Ashenia they find no resources, unless you count human-like fossilized remains as resources.

There are very possibly still some errors or broken links: if anyone spots one please let me know. I've put in the links to the original posts in OOC threads for the Priory regions since their Lands of Telluris posts are gone, so they might be a bit out of date but I have a backup (and it's all on the wiki) if necessary.
I haven't credited partial colonisations or conquests.

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
My involvement in 40k actually predates my D&D involvement. I was actually expecting at the start of the game that we would eventually reach that level (gradually of course). One of the reasons I've not been very active in the tech debate is I like both fantasy and higher tech levels. Originally Posted by Morph Bark

The Triumvirate has actually been planning for power armor based on Hai Vyuma for a loooong time (although calling it power armor is a bit of a stretch, what we were thinking is more like a metal golem with a person piloting it). I have some other more sophisticated plans for Vyuma and Osuric magic in general as well (just ask Quinton or Zab about the genre term I made up).

I've been looking forward to that as well... To be honest, right now it wouldn't be that hard, if you were willing to settle for an Edge-of-Tomorrow-Style power armor. Steam powered prosthetics can provide the intense strength that allows for more armor, then slap refrigeration on top for cooling, and bam, you've got the basic mech unit.

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
There are still stories, but most of the demonization is attached to the Lord of Fire for doing the actual damage and Tendaji himself for being arrogant enough to so directly channel a deity. Most of the attitudes toward Radurja are pretty much what you'd expect in a monotheistic culture toward a syncretic polytheistic one. ("Yphine is just a bigger drop in the ocean? What poppycock!")

@Blade, do your people still tell stories about that awful ritual that took King Hroar's eye? (also his son... that's probably important too)
The silver eyes might be immediately recognizable... or at least a bad omen or something, not sure how your guys feel about Radurja now-a-days. At least Glamora was friends with Shvedri, so maybe that helps relations a tiny bit
On a side note, Hroar didn't actually lose an eye. His face got burnt up pretty good, but he still had two functional eyes.

This all looks pretty cool, and frankly since I stopped playing Nationstates I've been itching to flex my freeform worldbuilding muscles. Is this the place to tag interest or is there a specific thread for claiming land and putting my name out?

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
This is the place. There is a list of regions in my post above (#69) which I think is the most up-to-date we have. Those not belonging to a player at the moment are left blank in the "kingdom" column although some of those are currently being conquered or claimed (which wouldn't stop you taking it).
There are also a few established NPCs knocking around if you wanted to take over one of them, although that would obviously require working with the existing background rather than writing your own from scratch. Again, some of them are currently being claimed by players, but I guess if you were to take one over that would obviate the claims.GITP Blood Bowl Manager Cup

According to the wiki, which I beleive was borrowed from my timeline, Jonas Grant was born in 366. I would attribute his longevity to the Islander diet (fish, fruit, rice) and decades of extensive training in both combat forms and Radjura Theosophic practices. Originally Posted by Aedilred

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
Well, I had my eyes on region 108, if there's nothing of major concern going on there. There's a lot of confusing things being thrown about, do I need to contact anyone specific about these claims? What resources are afforded to me, or do I make that decision myself, and what about rulers? I see some of them have stats to their names, am I delving too deep, will these all be explained in due course?

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
Well, I can tell you a little about 108. It's bordering my lands to the west and Guilder's to the southwest. When it was first discovered, an army of 10,000 Orcs popped out and tried to invade me, with disastrous results for them. The tattered remnants of their army flew back into that region and sat there for a while. Just last round I attempted to launch a (very late) counterattack, settling that old thing once and for all with a duel rather than engaging in a sure slaughter. Alas, their Warchief (Khaboss? 106 had a Khaboss) managed to defeat my General Caris in a duel due to some seriously unlucky rolls, and it would now be something of a dishonor to continue the invasion attempt.

Though they would probably take credit for "inspiring" them and extend a second offer of vassalage if the Orcs there were to suddenly civilize and form a nation.

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
A link to the rules might help; I forgot we didn't have one in the OP any more. The rules will eventually be here but there are some rewrites going on and in the meantime the latest version is here (posts 2 and 3). That should give you information on starting out, how to create a region and a ruler, and so forth. Essentially, the region writeup contains basic information about your country, including the people and their religion, three terrain features, three native resources and one resource they're required to import. It also tells you how to generate your first ruler and how the attribute scores work. Originally Posted by Acco Spoot

Re: EMPIRE! CWBG IX: We Keep Score With Bragging Rights! Many Prowess, Such Revolutio
That fits a little of what I had in mind for backstory, wildmen settled deep in the mountains, a beleaguered and weary local populace of humans, a noble class who are bound by their apathy, basically a challenge to try and turn around. Does that fit with ye? Originally Posted by BladeofObliviom
Sure, I'll play the ally game. There anything more to add to the political situation, your two powers on equal footing with eachother or is it more a tense sort of buildup of power in the region? Originally Posted by SamBurke

It's only half-colonised, though, isn't it? iirc by convention half-colonised regions are still open to being claimed by new players. Originally Posted by WaylanderX
