Its not a fantasy nation RP without magical ponies. As for my plans I plan to have a world thats pretty much blank. Most Civs will start as Wandering Tribes or City-States, however that is not to say you can't grow into a powerful empire that spans the globe. The history and stuff is up to the players, and you can pretty much be any fantasy race you choose. There will be magic and a stat-system, you get 50 points to start off with but you can research technologies to add more points to these stats. For every two points in a stat you get a plus to that, the more points into the stat the better your at it. I haven't worked out exactly what I will have for stats, but I will say any race that decides to for go having magic get a nice bonus to magical resistance.
