Oh my god. Flavorwise, BoT is perfect for teaming up with Edmund and Beta´s crazy dimension scientist! Future hook up?

Sure.

Sortiarius.I have posted Keezheekoni's replacement, I hope you enjoy her. She's quite a dish.

Cool. I'll read up on the happenings and see about making a post.

Every time somebody says that someone else is not "contributing" to anything when making their posts makes me wonder what they think other people are supposed to contribute to an OOC thread designed for small talk so that we don´t lose interest in the whole thing. I mean they´re contributing just by posting. Also, Beta; Necropolis won´t destroy itself. Get your ass rolling :DEdit: ASTA, what tier is BoT in now?

High.

I might go with ImportantNobody's approach and create a character for each tier. I might just mess around and make Thompson a low tier character, and then create an entirely different character an intermediate.

Well, I know this involves me, only thing I can say is that the educational system, while present, is mainly a mean of indoctrination and insure as much cultural homogeneity in the realm, as I stated, it's only basic calculus, writing and reading, plus most will not even succeed in retaining most of this since there is no measure to help those that can't follow the pace. Only 1/50 maybe retains most of this and 1/100 are good enough to be part of the ruling elite (Which serves anything from warrior, administrator, judge and tax collectors).So the idea isn't really to educate people more than it is to separate the wheat from the shaft & keep social unity.

If you haven't already Wernher, check your PMs.

Crossbows were in use sometime around 420 BC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastraphetes

The repeating crossbow, though far weaker than conventional crossbows, was also created in the 400s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_crossbow#History

In use widely? No, not at all. But they were there.

Because everything that has been done before has literally been done before.

Well, I'm going to assume Skall doesn't have an issue with me scaling BoT down.

Where is the most action at? I want to integrate myself into a plot/fight/something.

I'd presume all but the most basic education would be unavailable to peasants. By basic education, I mean it would be a stretch for a lower class citizen to count to ten, or write his name.I suppose, however, it depends on ones job. Messengers and military scouts will have to read, write and count, as they cannot convey useful information otherwise.As a general rule, higher class = higher education That's bigger than me, if that is your issue. Ancient weapons could be huge, and the Hoplite Spear would make an excellent polearm for the era.I don't quite understand what you mean by "more sophisticated polearms". Could you explain, or give a comparison? I'm not trying to sound rude or ignorant, I genuinely don't understand.I currently stand by my ruling that all cold weapons are acceptable, unless someone has a major problem with it.I mean, it hardly makes a difference if my soldiers are wielding Gladii or Wakizashis does it? They're both swords, both bladed and both are designed to kill. The only differance that it practically has is the time periods, but they look dramatically different aesthetically.And to return to the cinquedea, is it really that much of an issue if we have cinquedeas rather than, say, daggers? They do the same job equally well and have the same strengths and weaknesses, just one looks prettier than the other.

Not exactly no, but I'm seriously going to be miffed if I see people walking about with 15th century suits of plate armor.

To be fair, I won't be following the model of feudalism, monarchism, or the autocratic governmental styles associated with the Roman Empire. I'm unsure if my soon-to-be nation, of which is comprised of jungle-bound anthropomorphic rodent people, will be subjected to the same limitations as ancient human-esque nations were. In their society, when someone is born, their specific eye color determines what sort of occupation they will undertake once they come of age. Though, like most arts and professions in this era, the way individuals are educated in their assigned tasks is by acting as an apprentice to a master smith, miner, seamstress, ect.

This economic and societal set-up stems from my nation's absolute reliance on efficiency, team-work and achieving suitable results that will benefit the collective. These ideological beliefs are further augmented by their stern emphasis on maintaining strong family ties.

Probably M1A2.

So, Wernher and I have some things being hashed out behind the scenes, mostly in regards to trade, possible interwoven histories and other shenanigans.

I'll be getting up an NS soon. In the mean time, anyone have any plot ideas they want to get across?
