Nation Building Diadochi Dialogues

[Kent]

It's still able to be crossed, just riskier. Also look at the Terrain map. It's still WIP but it has your area covered.

I don't know where it is. Also, have you ever considered migrating OOC to discord?

The Brown is Mountains, the Green are plains/farmlands, the Yellow-brown is hilly terrain, the dark green is wooded area, the light blueish green is steppeland, and the dark blueish green is marsh/swamp

[Karcen]

[MrThe]

discord might be helpful maybe

I guess, but everyone is here now. I guess I can set up a poll

 

[Karcen]

I was interested in controlling those mountains south of me and set up mines and maybe an armory. I was thinking they were mining some sort of strategic/magical resources.

Also, back to that question of mine. How does magic work exactly? Like on an individual basis. I assume there's no fireballs, magic ray, and that kind of stuff.

Not really? They are just Mountains. You probably want to go for more Farmland. Besides you can just get them through gameplay.

You pray to the Gods and maybe they give you stuff, maybe they don't.

So no mechanic for resource gathering?

 

[MrThe]

Not really, this game is more about Politicking and Warfare than resource management. You are in the middle of a succession crisis, you need to defeat your enemies first and solidify your hold on the Empire, THEN you can start to worry about the wheat yield.

 

[MrThe]

We can probably add that kind of stuff in the later stages of the game if you want though.

 

[Albion]

Strange, i'm getting a sense of deja vu

And why would that be? *looks innocently*

I do agree enemies need to be defeated first but resource management kinda plays an important part as well as its own strategic importance to the military and other fields. Like iron, steel, and whatever other resources this fantasy-ish world has. But that's probably gonna make the game a little bit more complex so I guess it's fine without it.

 

[Albion]

Nothing, nothing, just recalling nation rps from long ago.

 

[Karcen]

shrug i have worms those are my resources

That would probably be the case if it weren't based on the wars of the Diadochi. These wars were fought by already trained and equipped armies and mercenaries and funded largely by Persian War Plunder. I will probably institute resource mechanics after the initial land grab and you need to raise more armies/the war booty runs out.

i must steal all i can till then lol

 

[MrThe]

i must steal all i can till then lol

Pretty much yeah.

 

[Karcen]

well stealing is what i do

 

[Albion]

Ooh, then my first move should be to blockade the isle of megalos while i steal their land and treasure

 

[Karcen]

i shall make sure no one steals my sand

 

[Albion]

If i'm gonna steal anything its silk. But i dont steal, i trade and haggle the hell out of it
