The "Send Selfie?" :lol:

Sympagis->Symmachia->Symvoulio->Synélefsi in Greek

Compact->Alliance->Council->Assembly in English

Roughly, the name of the civilization corresponds to the nature of the ruling political organs of the state. Right now, it is a compact between three chiefs. Soon, it will be an alliance between a dozen city states. After which it will collapse into revolution and civil war and the centralized Symvoulio will emerge. The Synélefsi represents the slow change towards a more liberal(for this world) authoritarian(for our world) democracy. I'm tempted to add a Syndesmos in there, perhaps between Symmachia and Symvoulio, to represent the consolidation of several of the allied city states in regional polities.
I'm really tired

I love the Skaven so much SKEEMES! Their army roster is awesome, but their infrastructure took awhile getting used to. Clan Mors is practically screwed over food wise which irritated me. Mortal Empires Clan Mors is awesome though.

Did you see the plot twist yet?

True. I mean Ego's main description when they talk abpit themselves or if Jeb talks about Ego are the two sayings.

"The Land of Ego, where war sharpens the minds, swords, and hearts as it reminds us of the dangers of the world."

Or Ego being known as "America's Skunkworks" because of its innovation towards war.

When I hear "mother of invention," a specific piece of music pops into my head.

Can anyone guess what it is?

I already have the succession of civilizations planned out.

Sympagis is the first civilization. Eventually, this will be replaced by the Symmachian civilization, which will be far more centralized than Sympagis. The Symmachians in turn will succumb to the revolutionary wave of the Symvoulio.


Mm, yes and no. It is important to remember that, historically, gunpowder weapons were originally developed to break fortifications and penetrate armor. They were a recourse designed to break the dominance of castles and expensively armored warriors. Societies which lack both have little need for a slow-firing expensive to build and maintain weapon like is the case with primitive gunpowder.

What type of gunpowder weapons do the Imperium have?

Predominantly single-shot rifles and pistols, a few lever-action repeaters. Mostly more primitive designs were never deployed for anything other than testing, because crossbows presented a more economical alternative.

If you want, sure.

I don't need to be an Evil Lord, just thought that if Bob was too find a cult memeber and used his real name, it would been funny.

So question, how easy would it be to abduct a blacksmith from Norsca? I assuming if I got Norscan cloths and disguised my group as a common caravan then I'd fit right into Norsca.

That probably depends on the skill of the blacksmith. Local guy-who-makes-nails would be a cakewalk.

*shrug*

You’d probably have to steal them out of the castle-town of a local lord, so difficult, but not impossible if the alarm isn’t raised.

I was figuring stealth capture then gun it back to Scotland. Probably get away before the Norscans realize what happened.
