[@Nexerus] I'll take you up on that offer, thank you!
And now that I'm looking at the map, there are indeed some nice open spots. Though it seems that it will be easier/more fun for me if I made a bit of an international merchant guild/bank thing.
@GreivousKhan I would, but it looks like most of the land has been reserved. So I guess my plan won't go through after all.
I will however, try to make something of a Merchant Guild/Iron Bank of Braavos combo. But as you might assume, I'll need a city-state willing to house:
- A massive bank
- A massive vault building
Perks of having that:
- Money money money
- Access to economic network with all other city states who want to house a representative of the bank
- A not insignificant thief network in most city-states with a representative.
Anyone interested?
I have a proposal for you Khan. My city-state has religious freedom. So i'm guessing that there will already be quite some religions present. So you're very welcome to have your Healing Church their too. However, actual religious buildings are prohibited within the single city I'll have. This is because the city is inherently built by the followers of the Old Ways, who's religious 'building' is within the nearby woods. Though Justianism is starting to be introduced there, mostly within the slums just outside the city walls. If you'd like, your Healing Church could be there too. As I assume that a church focused on healing would have field day in the slums. What do you think?
((PS: My location is far west, on the southern side of the spine. It's the first city state you meet if you want to enter the isthmus from the south. From Tityos' side.))
Guys no! We must all be vanilla empires A through F.
Waking up to someone making such a complaint really boiled my blood. It's a fantasy setting. If someone wants to have sentient mushrooms I'm sure Flagg would approve if it was well written.
I'd rather see well written unique nations than six bland empires so maybe to shake your Internet phallus elsewhere? If people wanted similarly cohesive nations, based on fact it'd be a historical or alt-history setting.
Your opinion is there is a lack of cohesion. My opinion is that we're still in the world building stage and to make what is essentially nothing other than a shrouded insult is very annoying.
On brighter news, welcome Mr Khan! No you can't play as the red city as my city is already red and I must 1 up you and be cooler.
No. I mean, just look at the chatzy, and you can tell that people are getting carried away - in my opinion at least.
A lot of us were in Gilded Throne, and that was really special. In that RP, our factions were consistent with one another and we worked off of a common history. For the most part, everyone had a fairly standard medieval nation. In this RP, it seems like everyone is trying to one-up everyone else by trying make their faction just that much cooler. Some of that of that is healthy excitement for the RP, but it's gotten to the point where everyone's nations are so discordant that they don't feel like they belong on the same world, let alone the same continent. People aren't making nations with compelling stories; from what I've seen, everyone's trying to impress one another.
That's not what RPing is about to me, and that's why I'm out. I would love for you guys to prove me wrong, though.
