Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-II-Cultural-Identity-Crisis
On the offchance that you see this in time, if this action was supposed to make the religion organised (with associated benefits) it won't work this round, as you need to have Faith 10 in order to do it. As things stand you should be able to do it next round, though.
Yeah; I think "branded" technology, especially when it comes to military hardware, is likely to get old and/or irritating pretty quickly, not least because it's not descriptive of what the technology actually does.Last edited by Aedilred; 2015-11-29 at 08:39 AM.

Notes about Stats/Actions:
- The following PC nations have been inactive for two rounds (four weeks) and are now considered NPC nations.
Note: Quinton will decide if the nations are 'true NPCs' (and thus he'll give them some actions on his own) or if they fade into obscurity, as though they never were.
- Berrium
- The Brey-An
- The following PC nation did not post actions this round, and are one round away (two weeks) from becoming NPCs.
- Luska (Kasanip)
- Rexleox: As mentioned by Aed, your establishment of a religion doesn't - mechanically - count. The action itself counts, but for it to mechanically provide benefit, you must spend a Faith 10 action, once you are at Faith 10 with a ruler. For now, you may treat it as 'the documents for being recognized as a religion have been written up, and you are just waiting to hear from the people if they believe you or not', or some such :P

People on the Western Cultural Exchange: since the route taken between 37 and 171 was not specified and to take it round the coast would make it illegally long, I joined it up through region 35 since the Nevarri own that.

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-II-Cultural-Identity-Crisis
Completely unrelated to my previous post, I'd like to run a Cultural Identity past the general populace, and also Quinton. I was initially discussing this type of idea with Blade for a possible Technology, and while we did get it to where he would approve it as a Tech, most of his initial objections were that it was too much like a (D5/D10); in other words, a Cultural Identity. I've mulled it over in my head since then, and it might fit better as a CI. I'm listing the initial version (rejected as a tech) and the refined version (approved as a tech), because the initial version might still be fine as a CI. I've altered the names, and adjusted the descriptions a little.
(initial)Luck of the Aeldir
To the amazement of those outside the purview of the Rose Throne, the Aeldir and their people all seem to be unusually lucky, right when it counts.
Mechanics: Once per turn, the federation may bump up one roll of the die by a single die type. Cannot be used on Luck re-rolls.
Note: This is intentionally created with the federation in mind, meaning that only one out of the four of us Aeldir players would be able to use it per turn.
(revised)Aeldir's Luck
To the amazement of those outside the purview of the Rose Throne, the Aeldir and their people all seem to be unusually lucky, right when it counts.
Mechanics: Once per turn, the federation may bump up one die of a die roll by a single die type. Cannot be used on Luck re-rolls. Cannot be used on Military rolls. (2d6 becomes 1d6+1d8)
Now... obviously one is better than the other. I've some ideas, also, on how to make Luck of the Aeldir more balanced, if needed; but I want to hear thoughts and opinions first. Is a 'once per turn on any die roll' CI too weak, too strong, or just right? I'd like open discussion about this, partly because I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks, and also because setting this up for the Aeldir would still take us a bit of time; we'd have to D10 our CI once we federate, and introduce a new D5 CI afterwards. We might even decide on something different.SpoilerBladeofObliviom said:

Hello Gengy, I used my Luck 5 last round, and re-rolled for it as linked in my actions post. My correct Luck for this round is 4.

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-II-Cultural-Identity-Crisis
Dark, approved
The first one is incredibly too powerful and would be rejected. The second one is still pretty powerful since there's no real limit on what it could apply to and I'm not yet sure how I feel about ""cross culture" bonuses IE a "double" or "triple" die size bonus on certain types of niche rolls and this could potentially allow that. I'm just not a big fan of a Cultural Identity applying to "whatever because we're so cool" The only "whatever roll" CI bonus I like is ones for Secret Actions because that costs a stat increase at 6 actions as well as it makes sense as a cultural thing, we're good at sneaking and being quiet, as opposed to "Luck" which just seems like gaming the system.
Fixed

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-II-Cultural-Identity-Crisis
Fixed! Thought I had it, but mistakenly updated the wrong row. It's now correct.
Understood. Could Cultural Identities - or even Technologies - subtract from a stat pool as a form of balance?
ie, once per turn, you may bump up any one roll a die size, but the player that does so spends [1 Luck] or [1 Diplomacy]
I should note that the above is an example only. I am not asking for approval on it. I am trying to discuss ideas for future reference.SpoilerBladeofObliviom said:

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-II-Cultural-Identity-Crisis
Soommor's actions last round made mention of sending invitations to an event, which I expect would be taking place this round.
I would be interested at least.
As usual, this is me, and not Quinton, but I would have thought that the rules on cultural identities will probably remain relatively inflexible, since they are a 5-special rather than a 10-special: thus they only do an increase in die size on one specified type of roll, rather than being open for redefining as other types of bonus. At least for the time being, with its being quite early in the game. Down the line when there are a lot more technologies around and cultural identities might need a bit of a boost to keep them relevant, perhaps, but at the moment, probably not.
Technologies would have a bit more flexibility to them, but even then I think we'd want to be fairly careful as regards balance and allowing technologies to have inbuilt "costs" could lead to quite a lot of minmaxing, which is probably bad, and it's probably better to limit the potential power of individual technologies rather than allow them and try to balance them with penalties.
For the same reasons as regards minmaxing concerns I'm not sure that enabling the "spending" of attribute points other than Luck is a good idea. However I suppose it could theoretically be possible to have it cost a special action, since those are already finite. I don't have a huge problem with the idea of Luck being spent in increments fewer than 5 personally though, although I think if so there'd have to be a restriction on any technologies/etc. giving Luck bonuses since otherwise there'd be room for abuse there.GITP Blood Bowl Manager Cup

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-II-Cultural-Identity-Crisis
Region 55 for approval
Çangalamin
The Veiled Forest
Spoiler: SummaryRegion name: Çangalamin
Number: 55
Population: 783,000 Humans
Resource: Gold (minor)
Wanted Resource: Drinks
Religion: Unorganized Paganism
Spoiler: Region Banner
Spoiler: People and SocietyThe humans of Çangalamin are dusky skinned brunettes, with brown and green eyes often flecked with gold. They dress in the browns and greens of their forest, most often in leathers skinned from the large, organized hunts they run several times a year. Their society, which they refer to as Nimtoriki, is largely patriarchal and fiercely loyal to familial bonds, valuing the skills of survival, hunting, tracking, and defense above the more scholarly pursuits, which are widely left to the nobles who have the luxury to be idle.
Çangalamin is inhabited by the remnants of a once great civilization who, by their own accounts, used to control much of the western continent. As their realm of control veered northwards, they encountered the Fyliordi, or great horde who brutally opposed them with greater numbers and tactics, and pushed them to the brink of extinction. They retreated to Çangalamin’s temperate rainforest, where the dense brush and dim light that offered them sanctuary, also hindered their enemy’s advancement, until they were forgotten.
Upon Çangalamin’s incorporation into the Ambrose Ascendancy, officials were surprised to see written and artistic accounts of a brightly colored peoples closely resembling the Nanda. Further investigation revealed that the Nimtoriki had once subjugated these brightly colored people during the height of their power.
Spoiler: TerrainThe terrain of Çangalamin is dominated by the temperate coastal rainforest that runs the length of the region, and into Akovito. This temperate rainforest, known colloquially as, Sojaafkan, is characterized by the large coniferous trees and broadleafed hardwood trees that create a tight canopy of foliage high above the forest floor. Ferns, moss and nurse logs decorate the forest floor in shades of green where civilization has not taken hold in the region.Spoiler: Temperate Rainforest
The largest swath of civilization is in the wide south-central interior, shielded from the coast on either side by the forest, which runs right up to the coastline. Çangalamin’s population mines out of the deep coastal caves that run rich with gold ore. It’s insular inhabitants do not occupy the coast, other than the many small mining camps that dot the region, and lack a proper harbor. It’s largest town, Sahr Sipar, named for the shelter of the secluded region, is a hub of activity where miners sell their raw gold ore to jewelers and merchants, and the merchants sell their finished goods, and the bounty of the forest.
Spoiler: Resource and Resource ReqÇangalamin’s western coast is known as Sohil Tillo, or the Gold Coast. Rich veins of gold run deep into rocky coast, accessible through caves that dot the wilderness.
The inhabitants here require drinks, while water is in plentiful supply, a lack of open arable land means a lack of grains to ferment into beer and spirits.
Spoiler: ReligionThe inhabitants of Çangalamin practice a shamanistic paganism, with a large polytheistic pantheon of gods and goddesses, all tied to the natural grandeur of their surroundings. A particularly popular Goddess, Sikora, rules over the hunt. Offers are made to gain her favor before each grand hunt commences, with a feast and bonfire dancing.

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-II-Cultural-Identity-Crisis
And another map, this time for everyone!
Still a few tweaks before it's completely finished, but if there are any glaring errors, please let me know. Also, if anyone has any serious preferences about colour, let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate them. So far I've tried to extrapolate from heraldry and the like but people might prefer different ones It may be tricky though if there are lots of similar colours near to each other or the colours are too light (as they disappear), so I can't guarantee anything.Last edited by Aedilred; 2015-11-30 at 05:12 AM.

I'm not entirely sure the Kingdom of Berrium holds that entire penninsula yet, and that land I just found above Primus claims to be a part of the Jade Coalition. It'd also be nice if the various seas and deserts had their names marked.
That said, it's still lovely. Better than anything I could've managed for sure.Hate me if you want. But that's your issue to fix, not mine.

On another note, I don't understand why Primus is gray.
Personally I would've gone with red since their symbol is a drop of blood wreathed in fire (i need to draw that at some point) and the royal family has... i think 5 redheads. Maybe a light purple to reflect Roethye's armor?Hate me if you want. But that's your issue to fix, not mine.

According to my list of regions Berrium did take the two regions in that peninsula other than their starting region, but I think they have now gone NPC so they might well be losing those regions this round anyway. I left them in to be on the safe side. I've added the Jade Coalition too.
I haven't added any terrain feature names as yet as I think we're still some way off having commonly-agreed names for most if not all of them, and while I could use my Nanda names for all of them the map is at least supposed to be relatively politically neutral
It did take a while, yeah, although the first new map always does. Hopefully future versions won't take so long now I've got the basic structure in place... I have a couple of others on the slate based on this rough template, such as one showing trade routes and one showing individual regions, though I'm not sure if they'll look any good.
I probably won't be doing another video, though That was just insanity on my part.
For future reference, everyone, it really helps me (and all the tracking GMs) if you put all your regions in your Lands post when they're approved! Thans.
I was originally planning on purple for Anceris but switched to gold due to the number of other pink/purple people, though since none of them are too close to you purple might still be possible. White unfortunately doesn't show up at all well, usually, although I might be able to fudge something.
Also, this map doesn't take into account all the territorial acquisitions from the start of this turn.
Where heraldry for a country exists I used colours similar to that, in general - the principal colour if at all possible. Where it doesn't, I tended to use something neutral or contrasting with neighbouring colours. Grey seemed vaguely appropriate given the metal exports of Primus, but I didn't put a lot of thought into it. Purple is a popular colour, and Ambrose is already red, so they might be tricky, but I'll see what I can do, at least on future iterations of the map (once the federation is complete that may change Ambrose's colour anyway).
Thanks! I will fix region 80.Last edited by Aedilred; 2015-11-30 at 01:22 AM.

Re: EMPIRE2!-CWBG-II-Cultural-Identity-Crisis
@QuintonBeck: I explored twice last round. The first one uncovered Region 133, the other went to the east and wasn't resolved. Also, does my military specialization require approval, or is it fine the way it is?
@Aedilred: If you had asked me, I would've asked for the Stormland Holdings to be green, but now that I've seen that shade of blue you're using, I like it more.
@all: Is there a list somewhere of all the diplomatic events going on around Arandi?Last edited by jkat718; 2015-11-30 at 02:11 AM.
