Hmmm, hey @DeadBeatWalking I was wondering what exactly constitutes 'self-sufficient' in regards to the NS. Like, they just can't have literally everything or without trade they couldn't fulfill the basic needs of their people?

From Sleep Awake

@DeadBeatWalking@TheSovereignGraveI mean, I was maybe toying with the idea of going a mediterranean route initially and using the ancient greeks as a model for some of my nation, who had legitimate military academies. I changed my mind before I read that bit, but I didn't know my initial idea would have been outlandish or odd, say.

@POOHEAD189

Gonna be perfectly honest here, my original comment about outlandishness was just a joke. I actually agree that it's not that odd.

EDIT: Plus I have about as much actual authority as anyone else.

From Sleep Awake

@POOHEAD189 A bit of both? Seeing as none of the countries are self-sufficient, I doubt they would have enough available resources to send young men away to learn tactics/ninja skillz/double sword bullshit. I'd prefer armies have interesting details about stuff they're willing or not willing to do, or perhaps a geographic strength or prevalence of a kind of formation or weapon than a division of "special" soldiers.

@DeadBeatWalking

Well they could still theoretically have a war college, even if it's just the nobility who can join (since they're the only ones with the time and money to). And speaking of military, I finished up with my military section and I was wondering how it is.

I'm confused by this. Do you mean you're against marty sues or is military college a bad thing

@POOHEAD189

I think it's just a tad outlandish that any warriors would actually hold a degree.

I should get my sheet complete this week too; weekends can just get a tad busy for me.

@DeadBeatWalking Is there a chance I can claim that small island chain at the bottom right of the map?

@MonkeyBusiness

Sorry, I've kinda claimed that for my nation. The map just hasn't been updated yet.

From Sleep Awake

@TheSovereignGraveI'll lay claim to it then; probably not going to use all of it, but most of the north and east coast.
Out of curiosity, how did you envision the people & climate before you moved?

@Aristo

Honestly, I'm not quite sure. The big reason I moved was because I realized it didn't really match up with what I was really going for and I hadn't really settled on what I'd planned it all to be.

From Sleep Awake

@The SpectreGotcha. I might end up on your border, or taking a slice out of the deep red in the north of Sitkh. Not sure how close to the equator I want to be.

@Aristo

Well the deep red in the north of Sikth no longer exists. Since it was me, and I decided to move my nation over to some tropical islands.

@Gowi
Well, the Winaq do that all the time. It just so happens that 'praising the sun' often involves cutting out someone's still-beating heart or burning them alive.

So, just wondering how welcome my guys would be in everybody's ports. They have plenty of neat exotic stuff to sell, but there's the whole 'these guys sacrifice people to their gods' thing.
