Nation Building A World of Blood and Steel (WIP)

[Archon]

Yeah, I can't complain. I plan to have giant war oliphaunts. But I'm having a lot of trouble finding logical reasons for anything in my nation to even work, provided it's in the desert. Food? Economy? Water?


The best I have is using trade as a crutch for the economy, since the desert would have plenty of rare natural recourses. Occasional rain works for the water, a desert nation would have thousands of wells and the largest water reserve ever...


But fooooooooood. Wat do?

it's a desert yes but had a fertile river valley similar to Egypt

That makes things so much easier. Lcom I love you! I didn't see a river so was all panicky.

 

[lcomstock4]

the river will be added in it slipped my mind

 

[lcomstock4]

The map was way more difficult than I thought if anyone wants anything added I'll get right on it

 

[Shireling]

I can see having a few similar to the Byzantines fire ships but they will be expensive i.e. Greek fire

Yeah. Most of their fleet is armored cogs.

@lcomstock4 can I have the whole island? since its smaller compare to other on the mainland? well you can say no I'm ok with it.

I'm pretty sure the rest of the island is occupied by barbarians, which you're supposed to defeat to occupy the rest. Not 100% though...

that's the idea they may be barbarians or another Npc kingdom

 

[Shireling]

Hire out some Elisian mercenaries. They'll clear out the barbs for you.

[archur]

Are dwarves okay?

 

[lcomstock4]

Just humans sorry, we aren't going for a high fantasy setting

 

[archur]

Okay fine...

 

[Comrade Wubzin]

Can we have more than one faction? Just curious.

Fixed the dwarves!

 

[Shireling]

Honestly, Dwarves and Halflings could be lampshaded as a subspecies of humanity. An ethnic group that happened to be short and stocky.

 

[Shireling]

Also, consider the image I gave of my halberdiers their dress uniform. In battle, they would wear a full suit of armor.

I don't mind this. Subspecies are alright

 

[lcomstock4]

I'm on the fence on species what do you guys think ?

[QUOTE="Comrade Wubzin]Can we have more than one faction? Just curious.

[/QUOTE] not at one time

 

[Comrade Wubzin]

not at one time

ok

 

[Archon]

I'm honestly 50/50. I mean, I'd prefer all humans, but I'm sure others would like other species.

I like hobbitses.

I don't know how well my pike square tactics are going to hold up against all these guirella armies. Probably fairly well when assisted by cavalry to chase down enemy archers.
