Ok, I have a map, can anyone skilled with computers tell me how to post it (my school doesn't offer a computing class :( )

Other than that: I officialy proclaim midnight the moment I get the map up the official start to the game. I will at the same occasion put up a god only thread. The puny mortals can create their own.

I recomend Image-Shack, it's free and I havn't yet found a limitation, can't give the link cos I don't know how to log out.

Thanks. This is temporary. I'll place everyone on the map using paint at some later point.

Proposed starts:

Spoot Halflings will start in the woodlands south-center. (in the western end?)
Moors will start in the woods southwest, at the foot of the mountain.
The Cryys will start three "squares" northeast of the corn dead center.
S'odua will start in the west, just southwest of the large lake.
Dark Elves will start far north, between the two bisons on the bay's coast.
Ne'Fael will start two "squares" southeast of the southernmost bison.
Boozians will start on the cape northeast of the swamps.

All good?

I have to go in a minute, so hurry up or hold your peace till tomorow. And screw my previous official statement, we start when I say we start.

The map scale is one square = 33 km.

May I join as a single wandering magi? I have a bunch of material to use to explain my spells and their effects and so on and so forth, and you can judge whether or not to allow me to use them, but I would like to be a wandering magic user. If thats ok(?).

Read the section on gods thoroughly and decide whether you count as a minor god by the rules. Otherwise, we'll see.

Yep, looks good to me

Map's OK with me.

Pretty sure it's good/I know where I am.

Looks good, but my question about creatures, I was kind of thinkins two militarised nations, one with creatues, one without, since I have always trie to keep the Boozian army on the backs of the men who actually kill people, and making use of creatures beyond the common wardog would be out of character. But then Spooty is trying to get by with no organized military whatsoever, so I should be fine.

Mythical animals would need stables, care, and training like any other animals, so you would have spare money and time for other stuff.

Have fun naming landmarks near your start position. It really doesn't matter if the same landmark gets a different name from two different nations. Whoever owns it gets to name it. I thought that this could start one or two wars over who owns what land.

are you going to play oda?

unless anyone objects, game starts at midnight (forum time) tonight. gla

Hmm. Well, I'm not sure my character I have in mind would be a God. He is a mage who has trained for years since birth to use battle magic and the like. He wields several Higher Magic spells, and other ones that he uses in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Japanese. (I have a few books of magic, 'Wicca' stuff that I have collected over the years as a hobby.)

I can present you with a few of the spells and explain what they do, and you can judge whether he is a man with exceptional power, or a god. Hows that?

I think you are missing the point.

If you had read the rules you would know that only Gods can give magic to their people. You can not start as a race of magi.

I'm good with my starting spot. Rather central, controls a choke-point. I like.

Spooty: you might consider Barghests if you like Warhounds. Big dog, scares people. Fun stuff. If you really need monsters, try here. (http://wiki.dumpshock.com/index.php/Critters) Shadowrun does great critters.

I read the rules...and I get that, and I don't want to be a 'race of magi' I want to be a single person. A wandering mage. Not a God, but not Man either, do you get my point?

I think you're ok, oda, but you do fall under the category of god. Like that you can give yourself your own powers. Just make sure to role play properly. And you can choose where you want to start (wilderness somewhere).

Btw, the game has started.

sooooo, do we start posing our Intro/News threads?

As soon as you want to do something. Otherwise, I'll make a plot booster.

Remember to name landmarks and stuff. I'm not doing it for you.

Sorry, I cant really work out that map. What does swamp look like?

left side, north coast. It's the only thing that even remotely looks like a swamp.

See the place?

The Druidae, I hate to cramp your style, but that [I]does not[ /I] look like a swamp. Nothing on that map looks like anything. Why are there buffaloes as landmarks? Why aren't there more trees? What are those things in the water?

If you are going to make a map with a game editor, at least use a more up-to-date game. Or, if you don't own one, there are plenty of pre-made maps online that you can modify.

lol. I did warn you it'd be shit. If anybody wants to redraw it, be my guest.

I tried recreating it in Civ3 Edit, didn't work, the only choices are to live with the gliches of the old one or to leave, i prefer the first option.

It didn't work? Why not. You could also create the civs in civ3 edit.

Well, i have to go. If anyone can be bothered, go ahead and post a better map, otherwise we'll just work with what we got i guess.

Civ 3 Edit works on a far more realist principle, it was difficult to get the grid lined, also the screen wasn't big enough.

I was working on adapting a piece of the world map from the Warhammer fantasy universe when you returned, TD. However, there is still a lot of work to do. I could send it to you, but I don't know if you would like.

Alternatively, we could use part of a real world map.

eh, I think a fantasy world one would be better (pre-existent or created)

im with this guy

1) I love it! Great map! the only problem is that all of those tiny little names will be a heck of a lot of trouble to remove.

2) Much too small, and looks too much like a real life location.

3) Not nearly detailed enough. Those mountains look like a rash or something as well...

4) I'm not sure what those red lines are, but if you removed the towns and gave this map some color, it would be pretty good.

Overall I liked #1

1. Good
2. All to small and weird
3. Not quite detailed enough, though I could go with that
4. Favourite

Einhauser: I think the red lines are trade lines, or maybe roads.

So the general prefered is Map 1?
Then I'll remove the names and repost it.

Yeah, I like that one. Definitely not 2 or 3 though. Good job.

Ok, nice. Just 1 doesn't seem like much naval action or anything. Whatever you want though.

Water doesn't really need a map, so you could have naval battles and such not off the coast/uncharted waters.

where are the Forests on Number 1?

Are they just all the dark patches of ground?

Map one is good, but this new version is far too small. Plus you left the town markers in. I doubt the nations on here want to be in the same places as the old town.

Regarding naval battles: there is a coastline visible on the eastern part of the map that can be used for them.

had to shrink to post on Imageshack, as to town markers, enh.

As to forests, I'd say that the darker green is forest/trees ect.

If you explore the website that Theao posted as the place he got map #1, you will find all kinds of in-depth little maps that fit into that big one, as well as a global view.

In conclusion... first or fourth one?

map 1

I don't mind either way.

I like the first one after debate and would like to change the name Gisfiran to Moorington

Well I moved my description of off the main thread and now it resides in Moorington (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9958377#post9958377) Facts.

well if Moorington is starting then I guess I will, Spoot Halflings (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9958869#post9958869)

Yeah, I am going to take the broken record approach, to make things more realistic and fun can the city Gisfiran change to Moorington? The city on the coast on the bottom left. That is on the first map which is the one we are using, right?

The Druidae, this isn't working. Why are you so inactive? You must realize that without you, this idea is dead. Dead. Please, please, get more active!

I do not want to sound like someone of little loyalty but if Druidea cannot cope with the extensive amount of work needed to do this I can take some of his load off (Not all, without a doubt, not all). Since for the most part the Fanasty Earth (Main Page) will just turn into a recruitment place with everybody going off and making a topic for them for more local issues (like they should) we should make a more General Thread. Even though that would make three threads (Main, OOC, Recruitment) It would make it a lot easier especially if we posted links on the top of the page for every other topic. The third one, Main, should have the nation's name, area, controller, POP, and god. The god should have , controller, name, nation's worshiping and anything other. If that is okay with everyone I would ge right on it.

go go

(am Spooty)

Yeah, I know I'm not on that often (once a day), so I'm perfectly willing to give up as much power as you want me to. I've already lost control of the map, unless you want me to do something like decide where everyone starts, and the game was meant to have started, but then again, we still don't have a final map. Either way, I'm hopefully getting civ4 this week, so if all else fails, we could start with my original map until me, or someone else, redoes it on civ4. At least we'd then start immediately.

Btw, Einhauser was voted in as moderator at one point, so if I'm not there, I guess he has most authority.

Well here is the link (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9968293#post9968293), there is the rules, people, and map, I should have put a link to everything else though. We only have 2, repeat two people playing. Everyone else please email me or telegram me your topic about your nation. So that we don't have to make a new link for every little thing and we can give more detail to the existing nation. So everyone send linkys. By the way can I be the ecenomic moderater, Einhauser can be like the big Supreme military person and economic but I always wanted to be an economic mod. Don't really need to just a suggestion....

@ The Druidae: I believe it would be a bad idea to give me full authority over this roleplay. There is much I would change, and if you like the way it is now, you wouldn't like the new version. Besides, a roleplay divided against itself cannot stand. We need a supreme authority. Plus, to be honest, all these delays have kind of killed the spark in me that let me keep the RP going during that long week while you were gone.

@ Moorington: Looks like all you did was copy The Druidae's writting elsewhere and tack on a bit more. Also, I thought we decided on map one, not four.

Okay first off, the whole text was just filled with self pity. I do not need to feel anyone's self-pity. On the whole I thought you were a good RPer, you probably are but your mood of self-deafetism and over all lazyness distinguishes you from real RPers. If you will want to know most people make three threads anyhow. (OOC, Recruitment, and IC) I am posting the people, thier stats, our current map, and anything else that may be needed when this thing realy leaves the ground.

Off of that I still wish that a bigger amount of people would come forth to the thread and post their nations, location, and stats. Okay if anyone wants to e-mail me just send the link and stuff to dukeofmoor@aol.com.

Dead thread, huh?

Dead thread, huh?

yes this RP is dead.

Would seem so. Too bad really.

Moorington: We already HAD a signup thread (here) and an OOC thread (Druidae made one) where we already HAD all the info about people's countries and gods. There was never really a reason for you to make a new one. And what the drek was with the self-pity bit? How is calling you on copy-and-pasting self-pity?

Druidae: I can always run it if you like, assuming this ain't dead. I've got nothing but free time, especially with finals coming up.

well I have pretty much dropped out since it was taken well over a month to start and has become quite unorganized and boring.

So if you want to run one, I would suggest creating your own thread.

(Spooty)

this is dead, we all agreed, it was a neat dream but it was dogged by lack of activity by Druidae and a lot of discussions on maps and creatures.

Oh, ok. Perhaps another time... The idea was really good. Hopely it will get the attention it deserves in hands of more experienced leader.

Okay first off, the whole text was just filled with self pity.

...what?

On the whole I thought you were a good RPer, you probably are but your mood of self-defeatism and over all laziness distinguishes you from real RPers.

In my case, I would like to point out that I am a staunch pessimist, and I am also heavily sarcastic (what you get for talking to a teenager). As a side note, I am not denying the charge of being lazy (I am), but I would like to point out that in The Druidae's first absence, I did just as much or more for this RP than he did, and several times more than you ever will.

yes you did. Now calm down. The RP is dead and has been so for a while now.
