Danke, danke

I have a better one Hatzic - have your character transition... in game. I may or may not have done that

just magic the bad bits away and magic some good bits on.

The Japanese player grew an arm back, for example.

Well the arm is due to the rules of the game. Im just saying it makes a good story theme to transition on stage.

Wonder what would happen to a character who was into progressive resistance and bodyweight training who never aged. Could you create a Hercules after a decade.

Curious if I am strong enough to do a cultural hegemony play on Crete based on a mix of culture, trade, language, and colonization. A little cultural imperialism...

Wait, how did the Japanese player grew an arm back?

It’s in the rules of our version of immortality. Limbs regenerate.

Hello again, if you haven't seen my post from the previous three pages yet. I'm about to begun working on an 'Author Application', but at the moment doing some research on ancient cultures based in two locations I'm stuck on choosing, either Italy or Japan.

Was first focused on Central Italy, done some research on the ancient cities and cultures there as I thought it would be a good spot to create a civilization. It being in a central location in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean sea, it would make a great central trade hub. Also, it has a warm Mediterranean climate which would be beneficial for agriculture as well. Liked the ancient culture of the location and thought about recreating parts of it, such as architecture and cuisine. Also thought about creating something similar to the Roman Republic but would differ from the original by having a stronger democratic system. Despite the research I've done so far on the location, I'm still uncertain about the surrounding region. The European continent to me seems to be getting crowded and more violent, leading to possible conflicts with player-led civilizations if I were to chose the location, especially one up north. It's because of this, although not the only reason, that I'm leaning more towards East Asia, particularly Japan.

The idea of creating an island civilization/nation, focusing more on infrastructure, society, and government rather than expansion and conquest, had become more appealing to me. Another reason I'm looking at this location is it has a moderate climate for agriculture and fishing around the Seto Inland Sea region. I also wouldn't have to worry about getting into any land border disputes with anyone else other than the NPC civilization called Hanajima located in central Japan.

So if I'm going to choose Japan, which I'm leaning towards at the current moment, I would need to learn more about Hanajima if I'm to be able to roleplay interactions with them later on. I do remember reading within the IC forum that there was previously a player that played in Japan before, but it seems they aren't involved in the community anymore, Correct? I do remember that Hanajima has a monarchy style of government of sorts along with a major religion that's based on Buddhism or something similar. I don't know anything else other than them being more advanced in both weaponry and technology than other people outside their borders. So other than what I know so far, I'll have to reread through the IC forum for more information on this civilization UNLESS anyone on here who has any information on them is willing to share it with me.

So what do you guys think or suggest? Which location do you think I should pick if I were to establish a civilization of my own?

Hanafuridake made the posts about Hanajima and the civilization is essentially a feudal model which is developed socially instead of technologically for the most part as I understand it. The society is relatively stable and is probably one of the few social systems that players made capable of long term survival.

East Asia only has my empire in northern China for now, starting in Japan is a good choice to start quickly. I’m sure powerful warlords and tribes have begun making their own empires outside the border of Hanajima by now, the social conditions for early society probably exist.

At the moment reliable travel between Japan, Korea, and China is not really possible. Maybe individual traders come over accidentally after stopping in Korea, but that is about it. It is not possible for anyone outside of Japan to invade the islands right now and won’t be for a long time so it’s a very secure spot.

It’s in the rules of our version of immortality. Limbs regenerate.

Huh? Ok, I'm definitely going to need to use that, also, why do limbs regenrate for our authors? I understand it comes from the immortality aspect, but why does this happens

Fundamentally, it is a concession to maintaining the Authors as participants in the RP. Cumulative damage, even traumatic damage, can be healed with time and calories, as long as it is not catastrophic (eg. fatal). That's because otherwise all of our Authors would eventually be deaf, insane, blind, blobs of cancerous cells.

As for the mechanic, no exact reason. The original creator of this RP, Republic of the Cristo, put it down to divine intervention. But I wouldn't cut off a limb as a party trick - not unless you want your Author to spend the next month raving with fever and delirium while his body consumes itself for the energy to rebuild said limb. Grace Kinosha ended up basically a walking skeleton after regenerating an eye and an arm cut off at the elbow.

Sri Lanka because it is more centrally located and it would be great to get some tasty cinnamon. It is at a point between India and China. Bali, Morocco, Madagascar.

No, not what I was thinking, but that trick will be very useful when I will establish a faith

The state religion of Hanajima is a form of esoteric Buddhism centered around mantras and ancestor worship intended to allow them to project their power to outside chieftains to convert and eventually assimilate by introducing Buddhist kingship as a model and promising their ancestors salvation in the afterlife through submission to the Lotus Throne. I believe that worship of Buddhist deities such as Bonten, Taishaku, and Suiten has spread & influenced the animist religious practices of the surrounding region. It's a centralized state with governors (bugyo) in charge of provinces and its own Neo-Confucian inspired constitution.

Thanks for the information Orostan and Suriyanakhon and your suggestion as well UniversalCommons. Really appreciated the help you given me so far, this would help me understand what Hanajima society would be like whenever I finally get the chance to roleplay first contact with them. I think it's already decided I'll be going with Japan, given the information I've been given and read online so far. I'm thinking about landing somewhere in Kyushu, on the Nishisonogi Peninsula, near the city of Nagasaki. It's not the only location I'm thinking about but it is the only major one I'm leaning towards at the moment.

As for how I'll establish a civilization and later on compete against Hanjima? I'm not really sure at the moment, but this isn't something I'll have to worry about for quite a while. Maybe not until I've unified at least the whole Northern half of Kyushu under a single government or federation of sorts. I'm currently reading all the posts that the Japanese player made so that I'll know what their civilization and the other chieftain lead peoples were like. When I'm finished with most of my research will I then work on writing up my 'Author Application.' I'm still open to further suggestions and questions so I'm still up for some discussion.

I think there is also a gay martial artist, beautician, and natural living person somewhere in Japan as well. You might be able to get soap and a few other things if you find him.

[Orostan]

say, when do we do time skips?

say, when do we do time skips?

Usually once all ongoing narratives have been more or less concluded.

[Fossia]

Quick question: did all authors spawn at the same time or nah?

[Lord Dominator]

Quick question: did all authors spawn at the same time or nah?

No

[G-Tech Corporation]

Quick question: did all authors spawn at the same time or nah?

To elaborate on Dominator’s response: no.

Authors show up ICly when their first IC post is made. So, from the perspective of the New Civs world, your character arrived about thirty years after Joohan’s.

Awww! I miss that guy!

[Cainesland]

Still ghosting, if that helps.

[Cainesland]

I’ll probably start a post soon. It seems like there will be a lot to go over. The settlement of the commonwealth immigration community, international relations and the invasion by the mercenaries, the two companies, technology and education development, the growth of the mutual defence agreement, Bostwick advancing from mayor to tribal chief, Christmas in mountains cove, Bostwicks kids and family, Bostwicks chair making business, etc.

I cant wait to see some updates from them!

[Cainesland]

I posted an update for the first two years of the time skip. I’ll try to update as I am able.
