[quote=@ClocktowerEchos] My issue with the Golden Horde is the fact that it is mixed races lead by notOrks. You are going to have to give me a very damn well impressive backstory and reason as to why anyone would want to be remotely near notOrks much less fight with them. It goes without saying that in this setting Dwarves aren't too keen on Orruks and their related cousins, Elves would be too arrogant or simply don't trust them and most humans would just be to afraid to be near them when the notOrks are hungry and have a weapon in hand. Also, notOrks aren't exactly known for excellent gunsmithing skills for anything other than a giant crude shotgun in my mind. In short, this idea has about a 90% of just not being allowed with the remaining 10% open in the case you do want to try and write something impressive up to change my mind.

I don't say all races are perfectly content with their status within the alliance but your description of any of them is terribly stereotypical, narrow-minded and well... racist (literally). Aristo already had a rambling about not liking when races are treated as if they can be one type and nothing else. [quote=@ClocktowerEchos] The one in the OP is the current map, it should be sorta like an island. [/quote]BTW, what each colors mean? at least with the other map it had a name palte for each territory owned. I would preferably want to be neighbors with a mainline human nation and preferably a number of others for sources of conflict.
