@Argentaria: He's about 5,440 miles directly west of you, ie 1,600 leagues.

Hmm. That's a lot of land.

Anyone else near be interested?

While the world is falling apart, we dwarfs are b olting Are nick of the world to a mountain and reinforcing it with godknows what left uninterrupted we could have most of the country locked down within 1-3 months, leaving only 3-4 main points for which a invasion force could arrive, unless you could bare waiting and slowly sending groups of ten to twenty men at a time, and risk discovery.

Say, Quintus, would the undead empire have any capacity for an ambitious necromancer to receive magical communications from a certain half-elf looking to sell dead orcs or hire undead mercenaries after negociations go south with certain reptilian slavers?

I would like the territory outlined in red. The reason my nation is on the larger size is because of the fact that 95% of my nation is underground. The islands however are because of my Vhaerunite outposts which is of course, above ground. I am working on my factbook and it will be up asap. ^^ Also it made sense to me to be next to Tannelorn since he plays canon sun-elves as icly we would be enemy races.

Thrash there is Mel's claim you wanted..

Oh and Thrash can I get on the map by any chance?

I don't think hes gonna get on till later, cause i'm still waiting for him to comment on my FB. He'll be on soon though, I'm sure, like me is prob studying, or working.

He was just on a second ago...

From a question in the Ripples thread, I've done a quick bit of research and consideration on naval matters.
I thought I'd share it here, both to see if my idea of what's reasonable meets with acceptance by other people (and of course Thrashia the god of this RP;)), and for general info:
OOC: He doesn't give exact details, but from Thrashia's rough description of the tech level I figure we're topping out at about the Mary Rose, possibly the Spanish Armada era if I'm lucky.
Mary Rose is described as having had 78 cannon when first built, though these were of course of varying sizes, and mostly considerably lighter than on later warships.
So yes, 50 cannon, though probably only 20 will be heavy enough to do serious damage to shipping, whereas the remainder will be for use on sails, rigging, and of course men.
As to the number of ships on this scale, while I haven't worked out exact numbers, for the population I've got and the way I've written my nation, I think a navy about the size of Henry's is sustainable, which I'm considering to be 12-15 on the size of Lady's Laugh, none the size of Great Harry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Harry), and another 30-35 somewhat smaller again than Lady's Laugh, averaging 30 guns of which 10 would be heavy cannon.
One of the many things where I'm working more on guess-work and gut instinct than hard data, but I'm reasonably confident that this is reasonable. I'd love to be allowed mid C17th ships (Vasa, or even Sovereign of the Seas) but I doubt it's gonna happen.

At the end of Henry VIII's reign, the navy consisted of 58 ships in permanent service, and could be approximately trebled by calling up merchant ships in time of crisis.
I have a slightly smaller navy than that at 50 ships, also lacking the most expensive 'great ships' like Mary Rose and Great Harry. Therefore with further research I might even be able to come up with a running cost for my navy, but in any case it is (as I understand them) within tech bounds, and reasonable as to cost and technical difficulty for a society such as Incognitia.

My navy is mostly river ships, at least my sailors dont have to fear drowning...

I'd assume your guys just walk through the water, and climb up the hull of the ship.

I could have ships..although when one sunk those that dont "Die" could do that...

I have about 500 ice boats lol . . . fishers and whaler's. . .not meant for war.

So does anyone have any comments on my map? (See signature link). Crap y/n?

Its good...what'd you use to make it..?

I used GIMP. I was going to use AutoRealm to add in things like roads and political divisions, because AutoRealm makes that very easy, but unfortunately it doesn't handle using an inserted image very well.

@Ssek: Very nice map my friend. If I may, I might try having you design other such maps for anyone who would be willing to beg one off you...(ie most likely everyone).

@Quintus: I'll be able to alter the map later tonight around 11 pm EST when all my night classes are said and done.

@Tristan: I'll give it a look over asap.

Thanks! :)

I think a better thing would be to get a big geographic map of all Eldire. And I do mean BIG. And then when someone wants a nation map, it would just involve slicing off a chunk of that big map and then adding some cities and whatnot.

Well Argentaria, it seems I am quite a ways away from you. Due to such a large difference in space it would be hard to do so. If Aperture Science doesn't show up, any one else with a monster like popualtion which I can hunt down for fun?

Also, has any one here read the books Eragon or Eldest? I use the kind of sorcery described in there, hopefully it isn't too far fetched for this RP.

Lol, i knew you would come back right as I'm making my map... I never heard of autorealm. Its pretty kewl.

If you're willing to take on the burden of the map...that would be a huge help to me! Though understand that its a heavy commitment, and not one to be taken lightly. I would depend on you. I would still keep the original map up (if you decide to make it) even if its a bit shoddy in comparison.

But yea, if you're up to it, go for it. Design some preliminary images and I'll take a look at them.

It is! It doesn't get the amount of respect it deserves for a free program. Hell of a lot easier than Campaign Cartographer, and its free. You can change the settings to make it use Leagues, too, so you can do things like tell how long a windy road is and make things scale right.

It's great especially for making things like city maps. For example here's one I made for Battlemaster a while back.

http://wiki.battlemaster.org/images/Mapofenlod.jpg

But I'm finding GIMP is really useful once you get to know it. Here (http://forum.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=1142) is the excellent tutorial I used to make the Ssek map.

I can't take on the burden of the map as in updating it frequently with new nations and all! No that would still be you. :p But, I do want to make a geographic map. I'll give it a go and see what happens!

*beggles for you to do one for me*
can you do one for me? that looks quite awesome for what you did!
also, whatever program you used, can it put in mountains?

@Tristan - nice! I see you inserted the graphic into Autorealm. That's what I was planning on doing with my map, but the problem is Autorealm doesn't 'read' the map... that is to say, if you tried a paintbucket coloring in of the land, in Autorealm, it wouldn't work. You'd have to re-trace the coasts with Autorealm's tools and then color in that. A real pain for something with a lot of coasts.

But definitely good enough for a map.

@Kewen - are you addressing me or Tristan? At any rate, you can indeed add mountains in Autorealm. There are downloadable mountains (and terrain) that look better than Autorealm's stock symbols, too.

However I can definitely make mountains in GIMP for the map style I'm doing, and plan on doing that for the Eldire Master Map Project. ;)

What I did was I opened the map in Paint, then copied that one small part and pasted it into auto realm. And yes it can do mountains.

I dont mind whom but if one of you can do it for me, after i get a paint map done showing where i want stuffle, it would be awesomely appreciated.

a new thread, testing out my flagship.

Hey I have a question. Are there any limits, guidelines for army/navy size? I figure army size is at max (when being invaded and having called up all militia etc) 10% of the population, 5% max in peacetime, with only about 1 or 2% being professional, trained soldiers. But I'm stuck on navy size and I'm kinda worried that we might have gigantic Fleets of Doom in Eldire, the way you find in FT.

I cant seem to get a map made correctly...:(

There's a fairly handy article called How To Make Fictional Maps Using Autorealm (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/93014/how_to_make_fictional_maps_using_autorealm.html?page=2&cat=15).

Im just not artistic..

You could just do what I do: Copy/Paste the Eldire map, cut out your territory, and put dots of different colors on the map to represent cities, villages, and castles.

Also, Quintus? You never answered my question about whether your necromancers have means for magical communication.

~snip~

Yay a fellow autorealmer.

Well not all of them, and mostly they are intuned to sensing evil things outside the realm of the forsaken, Soth senses the growing deamon army but has to ask special seers for more exact information.

Between lords they can communicate with varying degrees of clarity depending on how far apart they are or if they are both inside or outside the realm of the forsaken.

Normal limits for NS is 5%, max. That's bordering on actual economic damage due to the size of the military.

For this RP, I'm using 1% professional with a 4% part-time militia reserve.

Im exempt from population restraints..my army of undead can never exceed 40,000 I can force, persuade etc etc as many others to follow me as necessary and go well above this number

...I dont really have an economy or anything of that sort...also should I fight a battle I can raise the enemy's fallen to bolster my own ranks..so long as it doesn't exceed the 40,000 number total armed forces..

There is one major weakness, but I will only reveal hints of that through IC rp...all of this has already been discussed and confirmed with Thrashia, just incase anyone planned on complaining or saying "you cant do that."

Aryan you have a map? When I post I will simply just take one city and few small villages in my way and than take out some coastal areas.

I dont think we have iron clad vessels or ships of the line, we'd have caravels and carracks at best..

Yes but with the technology set where bows and crossbows are still superior to firearms, Iron decked ships were around long after the Arquebus technologies had been made obsolete.

Normal limits for NS is 5%, max. That's bordering on actual economic damage due to the size of the military.

Yes, but normal NS is for modern tech nations with modern militaries. They are more expensive relatively because modern militaries have to pay for food, water, fuel, ammo, and because they have ridiculous amounts and varieties of high tech equipment and machines that need maintenance and yet more supplies...

Yes but with the technology set where bows and crossbows are still superior to firearms, Iron decked ships were around long after the Arquebus technologies had been made obsolete.

They had armored ships during Greek times, though. Not necessarily full-blown ironclads, but armored for sure.

We already had this discussion. The only fully iron-hulled vessel is the flagship of the Dwarven navy.

All other vessels are classed as 'Armoured Sailing Ships', and are limited to basic applique armour over wooden hulls.

Ssek has a good point there. Never really looked at it that way.

I'm not gonna lie. That's a REALLY good map. But what happened to my empire? It's...gone!

That map is a work in progress Argenteria. No worries.

I know, but I like to be paranoid.

Aryan, need you to reply to the attack.

my empires not on that map yet either . . .but I understand its a WIP lol

Hey Thrashia can I have an island with a magical tower on it? The reason why I ask is because I want to establish a magical school on it and heck to avoid making you work could it simply be a island not even worth putting on the map?

New thread up, I am invading small Aldarlandish villages and then I am going to invade his capital and then his coasts.

You seem quite sure of yourself.

I noticed that, too :p

Not that you'd want to..but Im pretty sure you could persuade Silvans to side with you..by persuade I mean offer large sums of money...Silvans do love warfare afterall...and who wouldn't want 8 ft+ tall super strong magic weilding lizard men that in some cases can fly to bolster their ranks...

That would be a good thread idea. Sorta like an Arcane University. Oblivion-style.

Hey, Aperture, you up for an RP idea? I want to do a coming of age thing for a character of mine and in my culture you need to go on a hunt and come back with a prize. Would you be up for my character and few soldiers attacking goblins of yours?

IC Posts will be up later tonight. Scand, that works for me, no need for it to be on the map, just make sure you've a good written description of where it is in comparison. I'll update the OP with the new threads later tonight also.

Thrash? Wut is the "the tribal lands of the forgotten"?

I'll update the OP with the new threads later tonight also.One last question can my people retain files on various things like blood magic (stuff that can warp things like genetics and the like), forbidden magics, and other dark magics that were researched by High Elves of old?

Thrashia, how can I gain more of the Isles? I changed my factbook to say I owned the whole thing, because I put in the 5th crusade thread that the Lord Marshal had just come back from breaking the tribes and driving them into the sea. If you want, I suppose I could do a thread on my campaign, but there isn't any way that others could join. Suggestions, anyone?

THe reason it looks like an older map is cuz it is.

All I did was overlay it onto the geographic map I am making.... only put it there as a reference. I could just as easily overlay it with the most up to date map Thrashia has but the point is to make a geography look right etc.

Thrashia I usually get on IRC at quakenet. If you have that maybe we can talk sometime about the geography etc.

Btw, everyone keep watching my factbook , specialy the houses section, I'm updating that constantly. This one will be a beast when I'm done with it. I also might move it to freewebs.

someone whos fighting an army made up entirely of very very accurate archers lol

Hope it isn't too late to get involved. Just posted my factbook here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=14101108&posted=1). I'll update the geography and military sections later, but the basic idea is what would happen if you took the best of Greeco-Roman antiquity and matched it with the Norse.

*tag* will write factbook and make claim in a few days.

@Tristan Providence: That land is an area where the greatest concentration of wild marauder tribes and beastmen tribes of the north are located.

DaWoad: I'll get you on the map asap.

Ssek: Honestly I hate IRC, but I'll try. If nothing else I can just draw up a rough sketch of the Eldire landscape and email it to you to touch up, etc.

United Vinland: Welcome to the club. I like the factbook. Approved.

Also, because this thread had gotten waaaaay huge, I made a second OOC thread here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=14101700). It is the one that will be continually updated from now on. Anything important after this ^ post will need to be shifted there. Meaning any concerns, problems, requests to join, etc, need to be posted there, not in here anymore.

This still open for new countries?
