You did have, like, three days. :P Not only are there no civilized spots left, Novgorod didn't even really exist until the tenth century. Prior to the Kievan Rus', there was no coherent East Slavic government. That, of course, doesn't mean an East Slavic cannot be a part of this RP. Also, there was no "Orthodox" church in 399 A.D. Until the unsaid schism in seventh century, and the real schism in the eleventh, there was really only one Church. As well, Christianity was not extended to the Rus until the eleventh century, but that much is up to you, not me.
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

May I highlight that Max Empire has set his population at 350,000 - and that is preposterous for the Garamantes, at most I'd say 50,000-70,000 people. Also, Lepcis Magna isn't a day away, maybe two or three, Carthage even more.

Yes, I noted his ridiculous population, but I was posting. Max, fix it. On the topic of time, I have finally concluded how to time this properly. Rather than each page being a year, since that is too slow, each post you make is a month. This however, includes regular posting from the RPers, but I think it is the only way to keep a solid timeline going while keeping interest in the RP. This means that every twelve posts one makes, that is one year FOR HIM. If someone else only makes ten or eleven in the same time frame, then they will only have RPed 10 or 11 months. I'm open to other suggestions to improve the time, though, as I recognize that is not the best system.

you could allow longer periods of time to pass if they say it in their next post or something

stuff like Sieges can take months, but battles usually only take days, making it strange for months to pass when two armies are fighting.

Why not have a separate thread for battles?

Battle of Dresden

With some using a subject like this, then the other participants should just quote the subjected post.

No, he's using the Battle of Dresden as an example of a subject one would use in the battles thread.
