Realisitcally the elves in this world have done nothing wrong to humans..

Nah, I actually really like the fact of being able to use spells without dying, and also making a profit out of it.



We wouldn't be interested in your cheap flimsy amulets.

Eh, more for me and the people who arm themselves with them. Sure, they'll be flimsy early on, but by several incarnations and developments it will be a major asset in magical warfare. I think Ill have them developed on the coast, so I can ship them out effectively.

*Shrugs* pretty sure Elves are the only ones who have mana all the rest have to settle with lifeforce or something else.

But thanks for the idea I'll figure out a way to sell Elven mana to you mainlanders and make some cash.

Are you saying that one cannot artificially make amulets that is similar to the elves mana reserve, and yet making a artificial elf with mana reserve is possible? Elves are a artificial creature, given that they are artificial, its not impossible to make similar results.

I imagine it may be doable.

I wish i had the time to play my beloved Lordaeron, but i dont, would it be possible to turn it into a orginisation light? That way i can pop in as the pope of the holy light and share the good word?

Not really do anything but provide hope and comfort to those in need?

Well, anything is possible it would just be extremely expensive and require a lot of prerequisite techs. Your talking about a source of energy that doesn't draw on the energy of an individual.

Elves are superior mages because they have a replenishable source of power that doesn't require lifeforce or destroying anything.Yet look at how hard it was to make Elves.

Indeed, which is why Im prepared to constantly be developing this thing. I totally expect this amulet to be shit tier in the beginning. That northern settlement I plan to establish will be the base of operations when it comes to developing and distributing these magic amulets.

I would have to have something to add new mechanics but I would allow influencing pops and spreading religion. Say if kelm 'excommunicates' -1 public order for every pop that follows the religion.

Best way to discribe it would probobly be the paple states from TWM2, were i coukd just go on about the joly light and occasionally have a side quest or somthing, add bonuses to players with the OP,s permission and direction.

Oof and to think the long term end game goal of the elves is to transcend to godhood I dont think the Light would approve of such endeavors. :unsure:

I'll see if I can try. I could handle it since being a horde is easier mechanics to deal with. What are the goals that you want Xcotl to accomplish as a city?

I'm not leaving for some time and you need a military to buffer others like me. If the hubris of Midnight is getting to them, you will have much more brutal people than the Wandering Grey at your doorstep.

So my second deal is this. Forgo your allegiance to Bloodright, they haven't responded to you and it seems your pissing them off repeatedly as something is happening in those hills that seems to mean they're starting to lose power. In exchange you become a client of the Uusharan and send us a tribute that we both can work with.

We will defend the kingdom from any attacks and rebellions as long the king paid his dues to the Gate Council. And I assure that the services of a near endless attrition support of the undead horde can provide a bigger shield than some mercs or whatever Bloodright could've done.

Another thing I want to add is that I want access to your science labs/government districts. You can keep the gold, I want the science since I need to recover my blood magic.


Welp, a liege that can't even support his vassals isn't much to have so I can switch liege and help you take down the Empire no problem, gladly. I don't think we're in any position to attack them now though, least of all me. I can pledge allegiance to the Gate Council but I think we should play the long game, tbh it seems a bit overly optimistic to assume they won't be able to respond right now. I can give the big lump of food, disband the mercs and then I won't have to finance their upkeep so I can pay a smaller regular tribute instead of a lump sum and I can use the rest of the wealth and resources to shore up a stable supply base, defensible positions and field a force to support your undead for the coming war-effort and any after. In the mean time you can make use of a government district to generate extra science to get your blood magic going. I'll move my Scholar in Ellander to one of the heartland cities and your Scholar can set up there and still be close to your camp. What do you think?

I can work with that, just need to set up a slave trade with the Emerald Queen before I eat her city.

@G A couple questions:

1. Are the Aederfolk aware of your civ, or any others?

2. What region type do the Aederfolk inhabit?

3. What is Pyrestone and Luminary Palerock? (Or am I not supposed to know?)

4. Do the Aederfolk have any explored regions nearby?

(Also sorry for the lack of content in my IC post, I just got back from out of town)

How big the pop and how many industry points specifically?

You swap resources with someone else, with a small amount of income regardless of the material. Anything else in terms of terms has to be negotiated between y'all.

Hmm. Sure. The Hierarchy, Fastaqui, Ita, Honori, and Aslani are in range where you should know about them.

A Temperate Forest.

Both are Mystical resources, so you'll need Resource Comprehension to understand them, aye.

Not as such, nope.
