So, after looking at this for a while, I'd be interested in joining. Would Japan, France, or one of the Russia's be viable to play as currently?

Japan and France are open and have pretty negotiable lore, and nothing really going on. Though even then there's a few things to keep in mind.

Russia however is less so, and there are things going on. So your ultimate creative freedom might be really bent up out of shape if you head for Russia. Not only is there a currently renewed Chinese-Siberian push into the "Republic", but you have a considerable amount of crime. The Russian Republic also makes up the largest representing piece of territory up there.

Otherwise I guess you got the failure of the Volgograd state in the Caucus region, and the post-Turkish governorship of their failed Mission in Russia. Or you have the Communist region of Novogord-Saint Petersburg.

Aside from the open super unit in the ns. Any other issues? I'm on a phone so you wont see any. Changes but I can at least get the input. What was the verdict on magic anyway. My battlefield medics idea is riding on that.I made a post on them a few pages back about them. If you need referenceAlso I will not be upset one bit without magic. Honestly I'm fine with a world with little to none.

In my opinion I'd just say avoid magic all together. Or roll magic in with the ambiguity of phenomenon unexplained by the people of the world or revelation. Something that could be one way or the other.

I'm going to chime in on the dragon bit even though MP was joking. I don't know where people get this misguided idea that dragons are somehow god-tier units in fantasy RPs from. Perhaps they're potent for their speed and capacity to set things afire (such as cornfields and villages, which could very well deliver a hammer-blow to an enemy's war-waging capabilities and logistics), but with crossbows, bows and arbalests, punching holes in a dragon's wing membrane should be relatively simple. Once grounded, proceed with encirclement tactics with spearmen. Or just shoot it some more with ranged weaponry some more until it bleeds out.

Like war elephants in the sky.

Huh.

Add rivers by any chance? Those work for a good reference when it comes to shitty borders like in Russia. It also looks like the Viccy maps I see from time to time.

Ain't my map. I think...

Or, it looks like a neater version of Europe to be sure.

Anyways, if I'm going to use what power I have for now I might as well voice concern over Monkeypant's app. In particular the dragon riders. Not only is the concept pretty strongly rooted in over empowerment, but the description only makes the fact more intense. If I were the actual GM I wouldn't accept and ask for that to be revised.

I in fact ask that the dragon riders be nixed completely. If at the least the entire concept is reduced to a single dragon and rider, which at the least offers the chance for a moment that might be described best as a Dark Souls moment. But having them a significant elite unit is kind of unfair and loaded with bullshit.

As a note, These guys are pretty much all over up there.

Just in case I didn't smell the sarcasm. But we do need more Europe.

Fun fun. Anything directly important to my area happen? I'm gonna catch up on reading tonight, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask in advance.

Well, the closest major event going down near the Levant is the Spanish invasion of Ethiopia through the Suez Canal.

Veo was also asking about you and what's what in the Holy Land. If you're back and here to stay I can alert him and we can actually have a canon in the Middle East.

Triple post, Dinh is breaking guild records here.

All we need are numbered posts, and I would have a good shot for dubs at least...
