Since he is a ducal heir, I would like to request that I name a place on the map to call his 'home'The major city in the southeast in the mountains right next to the Precambrian border. I would like that to be the city. It's name is Oorburg, after house Oorburg which ruled over the territory for centuries. The city is a major mining and smelting city. Rich in coal and metals, the city is an important area both economically and militarily. A large munitions factory calls its home there, supplying the military a large chunk of its munitions.
It's position makes it difficult to capture from the East, even in modern warfare. The only navigable route to the East is a small mountain pass call Deadman's run. Sheer cliffs on both sides going up and down, and areas that are only wide for a person, the area is naturally defensive. It was made economically viable 200 years ago, when House Oorburg invested in building sturdy metal ledges to allow the building of roads on top of them. But to keep the defensiveness up, they also had the ledges rigged with explosives to collapse the metal ledges, making it impossible to navigate with anything bigger than a man. The ledges have been blown many times, which can be seen by black marks and collapsed cliffs. But they are only really blown when Precambrians invade through that corridor.
Just an idea for flavor.

Also, I seem to have used the NATO alphabet without even thinking about it since it's so ubiquitous in our world (even neutral little Finland uses it), but of course in this world, the letters would have different names. If anybody's into that sort of stuff, knock yourself out.

Ooh, ooh, I'm linguistically inclined! This sounds fun. I'll probably have a preliminary list up sometime this evening.

Since the military is still aristocratically managed (dukes=generals), I think lettering the alphabet after the major nobles hours would be a good start.
Starting as our first letter of course is O, which will stand for Oorburg.
I'm such a narcissist.

I think I'll have Mithras refer to him only as Oorby, just to piss him off. He'll have a chip on his shoulder about Nobility.

Then he'll be doubly pissed off at him. Expect the fury of a thousand rainbows.... laser rainbows.
Damn, wish there was a bio section. Now everybody'll think he's a noble prat.

Part of it could be that, yeah.
Three duchies that had names before I fucked up the whole history section were Winstor, Crávis and Sayshel. Just a hint.

Like I said, I mixed up the two when I made the key. Xs are supposed to be installations, Os are supposed to be major cities.
The one in the bottom left, right below the key? Oh, sure, that works. I thought you were talking about the X next to the purple line, since you said it was next to the Precambrian border.Gvozdevsk wrote:I'm curious about our guns. What are they? notAK? notFAL? notG3?
If Ayreo wants, somebody could use Pimp My Gun to make one. Of course, assuming what he said in the Cafe hasn't changed, we're using 50s/60s tech here, so I don't think we could get away with a notM-16
