Medieval RP Region? [OOC]

Postby Impireacht » Wed Aug 24, 2016 7:54 pm

Would anyone be interested in a Medieval RP region? Would make it on an alt probably since I already wrote everything as MT/have MT Engagements already.

Would there be fantasy elements allowed, or would this be purely "historical"?

Define Mediaeval. If a viking-and-GoT (non fantasy parts of it)-inspired nation fits in, I'm more than interested and would create one for it (this one's MT). I'd also be up for light fantasy - wouldn't mind dragons or a little bit of magic. Generally a fan of historical ones though.

You could probably explain it as magic being tied to the land. So, magic could work differently or not at all in different countries.

Sort of Medieval Fantasy? It'd be true to historical technology, and there wouldn't really be magic or monsters, but it would be in it's own world separate from earth, with different events. Religion might have some power that could be considered minor magic, but more likely than not it's just for politics.

That's fine. I'm not really big on magic or monsters. What I am big on is coming up with non-human races. Would those be allowed, or will this be human-only?

As in sentient beings making up a state? To be honest, I'd probably have a few problems with that if they are fully integrated members of society unless they're somewhat humanoid. I mean, a world where all the great monsters from mediaeval stories (and your fantasy) are real is great - nothing wrong with some dragon hunting or hiding from rocs and griffins. But if they make up their own state, I'd not be into it as much...

I might be interested in having a puppet in a region like that. I'm a little curious on how many anachronisms there would be allowed. For example, would both viking nations, high medieval nations and Mongol nations be allowed?

YES! I play an MT version of Venice, more or less. If Venice existed into the modern era. It's very fun to RP this essentially defunct Mercantile, Oligarchical Republic, but sometimes I'd like to RP Delmonte in its heyday. Yes, please, very interested!

Ancholetse would be a democratic monarchy based on multiculturality. It would have a divese geography with snow and tundra to the north, grassland in the south and central areas and desert to the far west. The east would be Asian based, the north would be eskimos and
possibly another humanoid species while everywhere else would be west european and a bunch of different species.

If we make a region, instead of using NS stats can we each choose our two strongest industries, two secondary industries and our two weakest industries. Or give a variety of perks/weaknesses/strengths that a nation must pick from.

Can we just have an idea of what kind of scale our populations are going to be on, agree on the technology that's available, and just be cool?

OK.. we should just have medieval technologies.
Ancholetse is supposed to have a high population.

This sounds great, I could get an alt account going for it. My nation is largely based upon Celtic nations, especially Ireland. I'd probably be similar to medieval Ireland, Scotland, and Wales I suppose but possibly with some more ancient Celtic-style stuff as well for flavor. Population wouldn't be too big, and there'd be few large settlements with most of them concentrated in the majority of the country which is lowlands. In the high lands the mountain folk would certainly be similar to Scots.

Sure, but relative to other countries. "High" for the medieval era, if we are doing high medieval period, is like... six million. Any more than that and medieval society kind of couldn't "handle" it and they would splinter off. Because you could only govern so many people under one absolute ruler with such a shitty system, economy, technology, and cultural advances.
