A Strange World: The Strength of Empires [OOC | Open]

[Novas Arcanum]

Would be cool if by some miracle everyone gets there post out and we get an update today XD

[G-Tech Corporation]

So is the horde obligated to smash the enemy of their vassals or are they going to want something from it? Also could it be possible to ask the Emperor to help start a Silk Road like trade by selling the Empire stuff?

Obligated? Not necessarily. Fealty runs more along the lines of defense than aggression, from vassal to lord.

Which Emperor?

The husband of the Zhou Empress?
Is the Midnight Empire still ruled by the chieftains of old?

'Cultural behemoth'. What does that mean, exactly?

Ruled by the chieftains you say.

I'm always interested to see how you all interpret my partially-concealed lore

Also, some general housekeeping things as I write my post.

@ All: Keep in mind that Districts are limited by population. You should never have more Districts than you do citizens - save for those which explicitly do not require staffing, such as the Government District.

@ Novas: Try to keep your magic within what the Elves actually know how to do. I don't recall any techniques of dispelling or telekinesis within your current knowledge; as such, those should not appear in your posts. I should also note from an IC standpoint that you're still not paying down the principal of that loan, but rather servicing the interest

Eh there's no component for culture, but what I mean is that the Dominion will be focused on the arts, aesthetics, and music and will research techs based on that'll make folks happier.

Right, I'm mainly talking about skilled, genius-level and exceptional mages here for RP purposes,their spells aren't known by the common populace yet.

Also, I'm not a major in finance so don't hang me XD

What's the danger stat?

[Novas Arcanum]

What's the danger stat?

They count as a pop unit when growing the population.

EDIT:Dangerous, Very Dangerous, Extremely Dangerous: Hazards to human life. The first Tier essentially counts another Population when determining when a Settlement grows, the second three Pop, and the third five Pop. Settlements with many dangerous creatures near them will struggle to grow.

Well, so, what's Danger : 3? Tier 3?

The danger stat on a city is all the danger added together. So a city with Danger 3 requires 15 extra Growth to make every new pop. That’s why Ralnis has to rely on Mystic Control - controlled creatures no longer contribute to the whopping 5 danger on his city.

EDIT: In other words, the Danger stat takes the relevant tiers from everything in the region and adds them up. So your city probably has a Very Dangerous resource in it.

[Novas Arcanum]

Well @G as for your lore, it feels like yours is a highly stratified, elitist but industrious pragmatic culture. So Germany.

Not really on the Mystic Control, I can actually domesticate them by my science. It's just that I need saddle tech and maybe a shitload of riches to make use of them being living siege weapons.

Military Districts - Do they need to be staffed, or are they one of the districts that does not need staffing?

[The GAmeTopians]

Military Districts - Do they need to be staffed, or are they one of the districts that does not need staffing?

They need to be staffed, and only by artisans or scholars.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Military Districts - Do they need to be staffed, or are they one of the districts that does not need staffing?

Ah, no. That's actually an oversight. They only require staffing if you are using them.
