You guys should probably set up tents before the poor child has to sleep by a tree.

@Dragonbud

Vis will probably sleep outside, he's never travelled with a tent and he won't start now.

@Cyclone If you can relinquish the island colonies and that tail hanging off the right side of the map, I'd be more comfortable but if not, just the tail will be good.

Also, I'm dying for someone to make a USSR type country that supports revolutions everywhere.

@Voltus_Ventus You may not have voices in the back of your head but your sanity is a completely different subject.

@Kronshi

Do elaborate.

Khat held on to Vis' sleeve as he conversed with the paladin, she looked up at him as he talked his twisted words, they didn't sound right to her young, unexperienced ears, they were strained, slowly spoken and broken. She pulled up her scarf to cover her face as he did and felt a little bit better, 'maybe this is why he wears it?' she thought to herself but her thinking was cut short by a rumble in her stomach, followed by a hollow pain, Khat was hungry. She pulled on his sleeve and he entertained her tugging.

"I'm hungry," she said simply, looking up at him as he looked down at her in a strange way, "Hello! Can't you hear me from all the way up there? I'm hungry." Vis blinked a bit before coming to. Looking at her with her scarf wrapped around her face sent shivers down his spine for some reason.

"I don'th haf anyfing for you tho eath." Voltus replied slowly, watching as her face grew into a look of incredulity.

"You're telling me that you came to a bakery and bought no bread?" she retorted harshly, glaring daggers at him, 'if he did't buy bread...' she thought but was interrupted by Vis' face turning red in embarrassment as he reached into his bag for one of the loaves of bread. He snapped off a chunk of staleness and handed it to Khat, she took it and tried it in her hands, she looked on the verge of crying, looking at the piece of bread, 'yesterday's bread,' she thought, 'before all this.' She bit back a sob.

Voltus looked down at the girl with a mixture of grief and understanding, he touched her shoulder awkwardly, "When you're done you should thleep." She simply nodded, knowing if she opened her mouth she'd burst out sobbing. She walked off to nestle herself in between some exposed roots of a tree, where she nibbled the bread.

Vis turned to carver, "I'll thake firtht watch, paladin."

@Willy Vereb So a colonialist, Apartheid nation governed by a minority, I sense problems in your future.

@Willy Vereb That's great! I can't wait to see someone put their nation adjacent to your colonies and get all aggressive.

Petrochemical derivatives (oil) in general should be a highly valued material in this world, indeed.
It's a fuel source for motors, important mechanical lubricant and the source material of various other chemicals already in use by the 40s.
Its importance might not be as huge as it'll be in the cold war era or our modern world but it's still one of the things nations should be fighting for.
@Voltus_VentusBTW, are my elves accepted for now?
I'm already working on their profile in the character page.

@Willy Vereb

Yeah sure, finish your elves an let me see them in all their point eared glory.

I'm working on an NS right now, and two things came to mind:

1) Should we have claims on "unique" minerals and what they can do?

2) Anyone want to have history with samurais with rifles?

@ClocktowerEchos

Everyone might have a special material but leave space for generic things.

I also think that there should be a mineral that provides energy, like coal and oil, that is heavily contested.

Am I the only one that doesn't have little voices in the back of their head?

@Spoopy Scary

I sir am completely sane.

@Voltus_Ventus

Yeah, I've played Europa Universalis a fair amount. I like Crusader Kings 2 and the Total War games too. I have an interest in ancient and medieval history and warfare, and that bleeds through into my choice of RPs and video games.

On the topic of history between our nations, we may as well talk about it here to bump the thread so that hopefully others find their way in. I'll fill out more of my sheet when I get home as I figure more information will make this easier, but how do you feel that our nations' relations should be? Whether you'd prefer to have a vengeful enemy at your throat from the beginning, a mostly neutral neighbor, or a steadfast ally will determine what type of history we should make. Since battles are fun to write out and I have a rather hostile nation, I lean towards our nations being rivals if not enemies, but I'm not opposed to something else.

@Cyclone

Well, the way I see it is that I want Ventum to have good relations with your country so I can exploit you later. For minerals and such, your conservative politics would probably not want it though but I feel like I would be trying to modernize you so you can be a useful puppet.
