[quote=@ClocktowerEchos] [@Liotrent] I have a question, are we playing as the actual empires or their colonies on the map above? I am a little confused by the wording. [/quote] You can play as either the empires themselves who ae in the process of establishing colonies or as a colony currently in the process of becoming independent. [quote=@Jeddaven] To add on to Clock's question, can we run nations that are composed of native groups to these isles - either tribal societies or old kingdoms? I like the idea of playing with a country with high levels of access to magic (but low technology) and I thought this could be a good place for it [/quote] Yes you can, that is also why I made it a point to mention that there are natives to these lands. You can play as them. I like to give a high degree of freedom in the creation of your nation or organizations. I give you a blank canvas in which to paint a picture of this world. Sorry if my wording is a bit confusing, I may have missed a few things with my proofreading and I don’t have a co-gm to help me with this. [quote=@ReedeThe23rd] Well, I was specifically thinking they'd be independent and operating for multiple different nations, just whoever pays and is willing to agree to their terms of independence and post holdings. [/quote] So you’re playing more as an independent organization. Fair enough. Kind of like the Landsknecht and Condottiere. Okay, I can see that working.
