I am going to find great pleasure in eventually smashing all the elven races...

But that's only because of my deep unabiding hatred of elves.

You would still have to come North of the Appalachians, little Snakes, and you have grown weak over the centuries since you last saw us. We still know well your weaknesses ... why else would we speak to those who can master water and ice?

Suddenly a combined list of all the funny little NPC states. And you insist I don't love you...

This is a basic rundown of the nations. When I have some more time I'll be filling in more details about each one.

Heya CT!

Do you like my post?

Oh, it is certainly heresy. The ritual killing of a life, as opposed to predation, is bad. However, while we cringe at it, and will attempt to convert you, we will not lay siege to your cities over an animal sacrifice

This is a bad question to find oneself suddenly asking, but what would the territory between the Illithian empire and Ehk'reh'tehk be like?

And the Ehk hope you EAT the bull afterwards. :p

I don't know for a fact, but I'd imagine either somewhat swampy lands or very flat plains.

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 10:54 am

I'm assuming that the land between Ilithia and Korlech is hilly, forested, and lightly populated (but not particularly mountainous or treacherous.) That sound right?

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 10:57 am

That sounds about right.

frigidmagi · Post by **frigidmagi** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 11:35 am

Agreed.

City-State

Yawgmon's Banner

With the shattering of the centralized Orc nation with the coming of the Netherese, the Orc tribes were spread out, the unity that had made them so frightening shattered. The Orcs of Yawgmon's banner are one of the more powerful groups of Orcs that have found their way to the coast once more, using their fleets to terrorize ships that attempt to pass between the Eastern and Southen shores of the Continent.

4,000 Strikers (Heavy Infantry)- 8 points
16,000 Cannon Fodder- 4 points
1000 shortbowmen- 1 point
20 Scout ships- 1 point
20 light warships- 2 points

Um... I know you are co mod... but what the fuck?

Ballistae bolts penetrating walls of force cast by 1.5 point mages? Being pinpoint accurate at ranges of hundreds of meters and disintegrating people on contact? That is a bit... more special... than the description of light ballistae

Are you...on...something?

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 7:59 pm

I said they seemed to disappear. Not that they did. If you look back maybe 50 or so yards maybe you'll find them, if you're lucky with the bolts still in their bodies. And yes the ballista bolts went through walls cast by 1.5 point mages. You know why? Because they're all purpose mages. If they'd been, say, defensive purpose only mages, then yes, you could stop a ballista bolt. As is they do not focus on defense and you're dealing with ballista bolts, of which most of them were in fact stopped, which you should be thankful for.

Be happy that Rogue and I decided (Yes, Rogue was involved too) to only kill off three. You have mages, whoopdie doo, that does not give you free reign to attack any city you please with impunity so long as you put up a few defenses. And for the record, no. You do not get to have mages (save your 2 pointer) that can build protective barriers that are the equivilant of a several foot thick stone wall whenever they Goddamn please. And even your 2 pointer couldn't keep one up for very long.

And on a further note, even if they were "more special" than normal ballistae, which I will let you know right now that they may in fact be, just as they may not be. That is none of your damn business as of yet since there is no way in hell any of your people would know about it. I try to give my players the information that they would know, no more, no less.

By the way, in case it comes up, the city is infact a port, which means it's on the water. Encircling is impossible, but you can always do fun things with a port.

As for your last little snipe, it's unappreciated. I hope I don't have to go any further than stating that.[/i]

The Silence and I · Post by **The Silence and I** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 9:31 pm

I have a new map for y'all. Only thing added was a scale, which I should have put in much sooner...

Oh and Tevar, I am clueless and gave you a bad number. The distance is just shy of 130 miles, now that I have a more accurate scale to work with.

EDIT: Forgot the map...

Here it is

EDIT II: Minor update, added Riversmeet to the city state names.

Here

Comrade Tortoise · Post by **Comrade Tortoise** » Tue Dec 05, 2006 9:34 pm

fair enough. Just wanted to know. Seemed from the way you wrote it that they were disintegrating people and were more accurate than any ballistae should be.

If that ain't just the prettiest map.

Grey are mountains, brown are hills, dark green is forested/rough terrain, light green are plains. Blue lines are rivers, grey lines are roads, and yellow lines are the hercegal (ducal) boundaries. Dark red squares are towns, while bright red are fortresses. Neat, huh?[/list]
