[OOC] The Empires of Terra

[Kenny1]

Especially since our two countries are complete opposites. Mine is like Ming China, whereas yours seems more nomadic.

[ThatOneNewGuy]

Mines not nomadic actually, I mean, the area not in the mountains is but the mountains are just full of strongholds and underground fortresses.

[Kenny1]

Hmm interesting. That means the bulk of your nation lives along the borders, which makes for some unique politics

[ThatOneNewGuy]

Well it is a military-based oligarchy. So borders, logically, would be the most populated area for military strategy.
Well for protection.

[Kenny1]

Plus it makes sneak attacks hard to do for Xi'an, since there are so few paths between the two nations.

[ThatOneNewGuy]

Yeah, Ocrad is all about protection, expansion and dominance.

[Kenny1]

Make a cs for the human you left behind. I think it could be interesting for you to have a character in my court.

[ThatOneNewGuy]

Alright.

[Kenny1]

Hey, I'd like some feedback on an idea. What if the IC revolved around the Xianese court? Ocrad already has a human, and Vaolos has a wayward noble who could seek safety in Nanking.

Y'all would still be making decisions for your nation's. The IC would just be how your characters in Nanking react.

[ThatOneNewGuy]

Yeah, that sounds alright, although if I did that and we were going to go with the war idea I'd probably do two paragraphs per post, one at Nanking and one in Ocrad.

P.S got to go, might be back in and hour or two.

[Willy Vereb]

@Kenny1 Hmm, human Ming China and Ork Mongol Hordes. This might have some interesting consequences.
Would that mean you have some relatively recent grievances against your former Ork rulers?
Or perhaps can we have the Yuan later in this RP if I happen to be successful against you?

[ThatOneNewGuy]

Wait who's former ork rulers?

[Kenny1]

Xi'an never had ork rulers. We'll see how the story develops.

[Ewin Rysell]

@Ewin Rysell Just an observation about the plot that you picked. There are a lot of rivers running through the mainland of your country, including three major rivers. But in your nation description you mentioned being short on water?

@Kenny1

There are rivers there?! XD I guess they could just find it difficult to harvest the water (salt-water/sea lagoons etc.)

*Sorry about the absence, uni work and stuff. And I would like to follow my own story leading up to the Xian'se court if that's okay?

[Kenny1]

@Ewin Rysell If you were OK with it we could say the water is just polluted beyond use? Or the trip through the mountains could contaminate your rivers with toxic levels of salt?

@Ewin Rysell

Ya the topographic map is below the political one. Your country looks like Louisiana with all those rivers. Lols
But we can say that the rivers are either badly polluted or during the way down the mountains they dissolve toxic levels of salt.

You can enter the IC however you want. Just leave someone at the court, so that we have an easier time following the story line.

It's fine life happens. I just wanted to make sure you were OK.

[ThatOneNewGuy]

New terrain map I created for Ocrad.

[Kenny1]

@ThatOneNewGuy Looks good, but you forgot the rivers. :-)

[NecroKnight]

@Kenny1

You still open to people?

[Kenny1]

@Kenny1

You still open to people?

@NecroKnight

Yep. We still have space left on the map.
