To Shred an Empire (medieval-low fantasy/OOC/OPEN)

And on the strongest, sharpest..., i really tired hard to avoid that, but some got thru. DANG YOU CONVOLUTED BRAIN!

I just got a question, what province is the capital located in exactly, just want to know so i can place Jack and his gang.

[Gjulich]

Just to bring this up - I have noticed that NDH had accepted my offer for Músen to be Lord Provost Marshal. Since I kind of have a good idea now of where I want Músen to progress, could I change the character to his uncle, Túlmíj Danálíen? Just because I want to develop his character as well, but not have him as an unnecessary one. If possible, thanks. If not, I will happily have Músen keep the position.

Don't worry. Mistakes will inevitably be made in the first app. Just get over them and work through. I'm sure you'll end up with a great app.

And probably a bit of me getting tired of writing... lol I like writing, but about 2 hours is enough...

Completely understand. Writing is fun, but tiring.

Not a very good post but I just wanted to get it up.

I quite liked it. Showed depth in your court. Was very nice.

So, is there nobody playing region 4, or am i wrong?

You are right, I believe.

[Alotopia]

Lol, i hope thats true, and i get accepted.

EDIT: I also changed up my app. I got rid of the est adjectives, and fixed the pop and military.

Good. Seems reasonable. However, I have just noticed that you have an entirely city-dwelling population. Are there seriously no weird old people who live outside of the cities? Or farmers, fishers in small fishing villages, or other types like that?

Yes, if you live outside the city, they kill you...




Lol no, i just thought about that as well. I will edit accordingly, thanks.

No problems.

We have lumber as well, so I think we might be good.

I'd go with moderate to slightly below-average wealth for us.

Everyone can go out in the forest and find a log of wood for heating, no one would want or need to buy it. There might be a market for processed timber though. My Realm build a lot of ships and doesn't like chopping down its own forrests so it might buy but overall if the wealth of Fingertip hinges on wood export I doubt it will be an even moderately wealthy place.

Bratykuder might have to import some, but it certainly wouldn't hinge on it.

2. Presumably because people don't like them.

The IC is finally up!

c'est bon

How was my first post guys? I wanted to mostly focus on the relationship between Findia and Jack but maybe also show a little bit about camp life. In my next post I want to go in depth with how the /legion operates more or less and conducts itself on the field against an opponent and maybe show how he leads his troops overall.

Don't mind me if, when/if Músen meets Findia, he hates her.

If yall have any constructive criticism for my app, i would appreciate it.

Well …

Your urbanization ratio for start is a huge problem. You put your population at approximately one million but with 950,000 in just six cities giving a 95 % urbanization rate. That is impossible for a pre-industrial society. Heck it may even be impossible for a number of industrial ones as well. A conventional medieval urbanization rate shouldn't exceed 10 %. If a very mercantile trade-based city-state like place it may get as high as 20 % but then we are beginning to touch upon the ceiling for a pre-industrial society. Also on a related note the smallest of your six cities would have been one of the largest in Europe during medieval times. In fact going by the year 1200 the smallest of your cities would have been as populous as the biggest in Europe despite the fact that your Realm has a total population like that of a large French province.

Also I have to echo Gjulich there is an awful lot of strongest, exceptional, massive, immensely, etc. in your application.

[Ublia]

Ublia: Sure.

Mesrane: On it.

Agadar: Skaldia will be commanding the Blades as he has a character as the commander. (Which I shall add presently.)

Damak Var: Accepted.

I belive a weapon or a helmet would be fitting as a relic and symbol of Titus the Great and Imperial power in Pandyssium.

My thanks.

Thanks for the criticism. Do we know the area that Region 4 encompasses?

Also, I understand the urbanization stats and such, but I was envisioning a mountainous area with little area to spread out. But I can understand that.

There is a map of all the regions on the OP, called Map (Numbered). Also, I totally agree with Of the Quendi on this one, there is no way that so many people can be city dwellers, I would assume that the Imperial Capital is one of the largest, if not the largest city in Pandyssium, and it sports some hundred thousand citizens or more.

If it is a mountainous area, then surely it should have more isolated communities and less cities. See Peru or Bolivia - lots of mountain villages, not too many cities. Even the Carpathian Mountains - same thing.

[Alotopia]

I meant the actual scale of the area. Like is it 1000 miles, 1000 kilometers, 500 miles...

Ok, I get yall. I will leave 2 major cities, and cut up the other ones.
This is my first Medieval rp. I'm used to large space/sci-fi ones, so a learning curve is expected... lol

I will hope to change my app by tonight.

I was thinking about how the Imperial Capital would look like, just so we all have some idea of it, and I came across this picture:

I like it! Are those two giant statues at each gate? Very nice!
I would post an image of Vatnúak, but it seems that finding pictures of an impressive river citadel is quite difficult.

Those urban-corridor like features look a bit off scale, but I like it otherwise.

I think I might have mentioned that this was the entire original inspiration for my app what's in it is probably a semi-decent idea.
