Age of Mortals II:Rebirth [OOC|OPEN|Fantasy|Interactive Map]

[The Starlight]

Ah man, someone already took my humanoid dragon shifters from the last iteration of this. Rats! I'll try and think of something else then.

They aren't shifters...

Well, it's too similar to me. Don't worry about it, I'm thinking of doing a dwarven-esque race instead.

Would be good. No dwarves as of yet.

I think a lot of people have military sizes that are wayy too big for their populations, especially since this is (mostly) in the middle ages. Having that big of a standing military is going to cause massive famines, since it takes so many people to work the fields. I can understand if you're a very warlike civilization, but still, you need to have like 20:1 civilians-to-soldiers to have an effective military. I even think the size of my army is pushing it.

Which is why I only have a small military.

Buuut, this is fantasy. Only my nation is actually full of humans. As for the other races, I have no idea how much they eat, how well they're able to live off the land, etc.

Possibly. I still think that everyone should re-evaluate their military sizes.

I presume that is directed somewhat at me. I realize I have a huge military but you should keep in mind a few things. Firstly, the Nimrev aren't unified, thus you likely won't see all those Ratmen in one army unless you've really pissed off all the clans. Secondly, a majority of those soldiers are basically cannon fodder, or are poorly equipped. And lastly, this isn't really a standing army. Yes, they do have a great many soldiers that remain active, but the cannon fodder soldiers I mentioned are miners, farmers, etc. unless they're called upon like levies.

Finally got my app up. Partially...

I guess it's directed somewhat at you, although not specifically at all. Sorry if I sounded accusing.

If it isn't a standing army, then you should probably make that clear in your app. It reads like you have a horde of rat-people and monsters waiting to be deployed.

Well that is the point isn't it? That I potentially have hordes of rats ready to march at a beck and call?

Well if they're just levees why be scared?

It's a great start. The ability to heal other races, but not themselves, could be very interesting.

Like I said, not all of them are levies, but I don't know?

Yeah. If the Krowl are ever in danger, they will be welcome on our islands.

[The Starlight]

Can I have most of my dwarven nation underground or inside a mountain?

I'm sure that will be absolutely fine.

My standing army is 1.5% of the population with a 3% Levie, which is essentially civilians who we can call to arms as soldiers. They all have real jobs, but they can be called up by their lords.

[Bentus]

Anyone have a Far Eastern inspired nation at all?

[Britcan]

Anyone have a Far Eastern inspired nation at all?

Not that I can think of off the top of my head. Obviously your nation will have to be more than just far-eastern, you need a race and such, but it's a decent idea to build on.

Course Are we allowed to be the same race as someone else? i.e. human?

Also, how will time pass? I'm assuming it will basically flow however we need it to in the IC, but is it reasonable to expect decades to pass (perhaps in designated time skips?)?

No, my understanding is that only Kherkov has humans. Other players need to create a race.

They can be off-brand humans, but they have to be different from run of the mill humans, otherwise you have to be something else.

[The Vekta-Helghast Empire]

I've edited my application - now my people can see in the dark and have access to a unique form of magic as part of their race.

Cool beans. How about the passage of time thing?

My app is finished.
