[@Gisk] [quote=@FallenTrinity] Questions: - What would the time era be? - How far ahead is the technological advancement? I understand there are mechs but to what extent is the technology? - Is there a possibility that former warriors from these nations have defected to this area? * If so, would any of them have managed to bring with them any tech with them (mechs, advanced weaponry etc.)? - Are there or is there a orbital navy? - After the war what is the state of each country? * What are the governments like? I got other questions but id be interested :) [/quote] Thank you both for the questions and suggestions, this is exactly the type of brainstorming and intruge that we need! 1 and 2. So the Time Era I'm having as 2235 on a planet called Orio, it is in a solar system with other undiscovered planets that are only just beggining to be visited. As mentioned before there are 3 masses of land and the planet is about a 3rd the size of the earth. The technology is advanced in terms of energy sources and mecha weapons but civilisation and living standards are pretty desolute because of the conflicts basic technology is only moderastely more advanced than ours and a lot of the planet is war torn. 3. if you mean this area to be the fortune region then yes, a lot of refugees, criminals, soldiers, adventurers and business owners have left the respective 3 major states to start a new life in the wild lands. But the small towns and parishes lack the wealth and prosperity of the larger nations and many operate as mining and farming villages. Which can be dissapointing for a mercenary looking for a brand new life. 4. There are satillites but no space army, as space travel ironically is still in its infancy although mechas are fairly advanced. (Also I'm going to add the solar farms to the world's technology, amazing idea!) 5. So the nations are as follows: (WIP) [b]The Northern Frontier[/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sJUsOP0T1o]Theme Song[/url] [hider=Outer and Inner] [img]http://orig02.deviantart.net/c3f3/f/2011/214/7/8/frozen_fortress_by_drawingnightmare-d42vtsq.jpg[/img] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/d5/0f/b7/d50fb72e7ae71c85981e439e8257a2f8.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Overall Description] The Northern Frontier is the most difficult place to live, the reigon is plagued by below zero tempratures all year round, vicious blizzards and magnetic storms. This has forced the inhabitants to become very tough and adapt their technology to survive such a hostile enviroment. This has made their army and engineers very disciplined and tough. Also despite the lack of basic resources the northern frontier is rich in a special material that is now invaluable to the modern world. It has the largest natural supply of the [b]Elementus[/b] stones which can be harnessed into conduits of massive energy which most modern mechas now run on as apposed to old style nuclear generators. The ice covered mountain reigon is also a strategic nightmare to attack. Most invading forces cant even FIND the frontier structures in the blinding blizzards let alone mount any attack on the icy peaks. Also all ther living areas are buried deep underground as seen in the inner photo. So while the northern frontier maybe a harsh land with the lowest population, it reigned supreme with a cutting edge grasp on technology and a large mecha army in a strategic heaven of a home field. [/hider] [hider=Post-War] Although the region was never succesfully invaded, the frontier lost large swaths of its army being constantly repelled by the Western Coalition. It was a war of attrition and over time the northern frontier was not only losing soldiers and mechs, their trade routes were being stifled particulary raw metals and food which the northern lands do not have much of. Because of this, as the soliders died in battle the citizens of the military state began to starve and flee as rations became thin. Ultimately they gave up their campaign to destroy the western coalition and thus brought zbout an uneasy ceasefire. The Northen frontier are now a diminished but still elite fighting state which has spent the last 8 years inactive on the world's stage slowly trying to rebuild its small population. [/hider]
