Is there a posting order or what? :p

@DarkStar

Nope, post anytime you'd like.

@Aristo We would have spared revolutionary forces if they didn't keep trying to attack our forces for being lead by magic users.

@Bright_Ops

Neither of us truly clarified whether they attacked first, only that you launched an attack against both.
Heck, the rebels probably would have been open to friendly intervention on their behalf, provided your role of magic within the government structure was not as domineering.
The rebellion was originally targeted at the sorcerer elite, and the fact that mundanes had no power whatsoever, but as the new government took hold, propaganda and radical movements extended that hostility toward offensive magic in general.
Some outside assistance against the mageocrats, even from rival mages, perhaps, would have been appreciated.

Didn't stop them from stealing land from the oppressed masses of Chalez!

Since when did Tush start caring about other people?

I only wonder how quickly you'd be able to cut through thick armor. In the fast-paced nature of FRAME-on-FRAME engagements, nobody's going to sit still so you can slice through them.
However, the sheer temperature probably would do a number on external systems, cameras, weapons, etc. and harm joints pretty hard.
The trick would be how to get into an optimal position to make use of such a weapon.

Ahh whoops, thinking of the wrong nation@Aristo.

But still, I don't think it'd work if I was on the island with you, don't think polar bears would live there

@ClocktowerEchos

I'm not on the island either!
I'm 14, 6 and 15. The outline is a really dark navy, so its hard to see against the black.

I don't think I've even given my nation a true religion. I guess they'd be pretty secular instead, what with the shift from magic to technology and all.

@ClocktowerEchosYou should set up shop by me so we can crush the undead at my doorstep.


Does this upload work for you?

Since the RP is, at the moment, grounded in conventional projectiles and weaponry, rather than energy or plasma, most melee weapons will probably be pneumatic-based. Large jackhammer-esque weapons that use a very high gas pressure to drive tungsten spikes through armor (like penetrators used in APFSDS rounds). Maybe they could also be driven by railgun/coilgun principles.

Well, I think I speak for everyone when I say that the broader between the Chalezian Union and Tushienia would be tense as all hell. Maybe a slight rewrite of history though?

Before the mundane revolution that changed Chalez into the Chalezian Union, province 11 used to belong to Chalez. Once the revolutionary war was in full swing however, Tushienia seized the opportunity to expand its power and influence (While kicking those arrogant magical elven pricks in the face while doing so) by invading province 11 and conquering it for themselves, destroying both the magical ruling elite and the magic hating rebels alike to do so with a combination of magic, strength of arms, technology and a pretty large army of mindless undead.

If Chalezian Union ever made the attempt to reclaim province 11 before now (Most likely during the height of their mage hating days), that war would have ended in failure for the Union (Because we can't have more then 3 provinces to start with). Provided of course that the Chalezian Union made the attempt to reclaim its former territory.

What do you think?

@Bright_Ops

I think it could be very plausible for Tushiena to take advantage of the civil war, if both sides were concentrating their full attention on each other. However, since your liches arrived here some hundred years ago, I think Chalez would have been suspicious, if not hostile, in response to their sudden appearance near their territory for a very long time. That depends mostly how you want to play their attitudes towards their new neighbor several-hundred years ago and counting. Did they fight in the past, and over what? etc.

If Chalez and the liches were longstanding enemies from the first days of Tush's inception, the attack on 11 seems quite appropriate. But do they have a legitimate cause to fight both the elite and the rebels indiscriminately?

How eager are they to push deeper into Chalezian territory, now that power has been reconsalidated? They've had fifty years to take advantage of a still-developing government. Granted, if Tush was fighting both sides simultaneously, the Union certainly has a sour opinion of them.
