King in the north- king of Brigantia rules over a huge amount of land equating to pretty much all of Northern England, as such he is powerful and influencial. Bonus to public relations with the king throughout the british isles making conquered populations quick to be subdued.

North/South divide- the hardships and struggles of life in Brigantia has created a cultural divide between the northern Kingdom and the southern kingdoms, as such a rivalry exists between the two regions. Disadvantage of diplomacy with southern kingdoms

Britannia rules the waves- with an extensive coastline to defend from Nordic raiders and the typical marine associations with a islander culture, the Brigantes hold the strongest fleeting Britain. Bonus when fighting Coastal raiders or other Britannic kingdoms on the sea.

202- modifiers for Brigantia


Yo,Just gonna say, the Brigantes are a Tribal Confederation at this point, not Tribal Kingdom

Hey Ik, pardon me but it seems as you have only six major warring states instead of seven in the area of ancient China in your political map? (Unless that small little bit in the middle counts as one but that seems unlikely)

And also, based on historical assessments and estimations, shouldn't the Qin state have a land border with the states of Han, Wei, Zhao and Chu?

I do apologise for the nitpickiness, the result of my own obsession with historical accuracy and my inane OCD.

Yes but it is set in RL historical settings, so I assume that the maps would reflect that ancient historical context.

And according to the list of available nations in the RP, there are supposed to be seven Chinese warring states, of which I only see six on the map...

There are seven states, the small one included.

And it reflects a period, yes, but there are things changed for fun, like Carthage owning Corsica, there being only three Gaelic tribes, etc.

After a fashion. Marrying your royalty to their royalty means your dynasties are linked, so in a generation or so your family will linked to theirs and a king with your blood will rule their lands. A great way to increase the NPCs' disposition towards you, with luck, and will probably mean if you invade folks will approve more.

Sorry, mine as the Seleucids? I'll probably be locking down Judea, exerting influence in Mesopotamia, undergoing a large amount of military and civil reforms while I have Selecues alive to push them through. I'll also probably focus on stabilizing my borders by supporting my client states in any wars with external factions, and ensuring Asia Minor is fully under Seleucid vassalage or direct control.

They do not seem to threatening to me, however when you say Asia Minor, what about Pergamon?

Depends how they work. If they can be a useful aligned state or client, they'll be left to their own devices. IRL Seleucus spent his time conquering his way across Asia Minor, then prepping for the invasion of Greece proper.

Well I cannot speak for an NPC but Ptolemy would not be happy if a a Seleucid army deposed his grandson, other than that it all seems fine (please don't attack Pergamon, conquer all Asia for all I care but not Pergamon, oh and my little part of south Turkey)

Hmm. I'd forgotten the Cretans had part of southern Anatolia. I'll see what happened historically, but from my readings Seleuces did go on a bit of a rampage in Asia Minor. We'll see how the butterflies flap.

Okay, guys. I've chosen to take Lydia/Sardes anyway and I'm accepted by the OP by TG so make way for Lydia.
Feel free to TG me for any diplomatic or War RP, I'm always interested.

Interesting. So Seleuces has some valid grasp of the importance of naval power. Perhaps I should start work in the shipyards of Lebanon.

If the small little dot is indeed one of the Warring States then which one is it? Qi? Yan? It is certainly not Chu nor Han.

And well technically around this period, Carthage did already control most of the Corsican coastline, which makes their ownership more or less a given already.
