Guys, which map is the official map now? To see what my actual borders with the PRK are...
I like it.
Please, husbando hellion is best god.
Well, ping me when this starts.
#3: A war against a player in the past that I actually won (Any volunteers?)


Volunteer. NOT!Spain with a NOT!Spanish armada.

The way I'd see it, it was originally accepted by the king at the time of the marriage but was marketed more as an equal alliance to the people (they need not know after all) and afterward the relationship become more and more ambiguous. Thus, the king is aware that he is... theoretically, a vassal of the emperor, but he doesn't tell anyone about that detail and when the Emperor calls to war, he answers... but markets it as doing so as an ally to his own people. If confronted about what his allegiance is without room to wiggle away in a non-committing answer, he'd probably say he's not a vassal (Unless he's really desperate for help on that moment).

I'd say the previous king could have been awarded this honor in a scenario such as: Another Vinculi nation waged war on a then smaller elvish empire and had decent chances to win. Seeing its chance, the king of the previous nation decides to say he is utterly convinced on the evish envoy's request for help and will come to aid against the unjust Vinculi invader with all his might! The aim of course is to snag territories. This doesn't go as planned as the king gets trashed in the Vinculi mainland, but this allows for the elves to claim a victory on their homefront. As a consolation prize, the Emperor offers the title as well as a daughter to the king. He normally wouldn't have accepted, but his choice to go to war left him in a bad posture and, with his armies defeated, he suspected others might try to wage war against him. So he accepts, to gain diplomatic weight against his hostile neighbors by threatening them with the weight of a superior ally. Hell, I'd say the two nations could have fought a few wars together.
<Snipped quote by Voltus_Ventus>I am considering to rely on the not-Germany part of Vinculi to produce the majority of my ammunition.
Kind of like how Britain relied on Germany prior to WW1 (and then they were fucked when they declared war on Germans before realizing this tiny fact).
The only issue is my reliance on mithril in general. I so wish to outsource my industries a bit to make my nation more dependent on others for plot reasons but my specialize industries makes this kinda hard at times.
@WernherTo solve this paradox how about making a portion of your pureblooded Dragons part of the alchemists? So Yllendthyr willingly discloses the secret of creating mithril to you and you can produce our goods with license, for example.


I'm fine with it, sounds fun!

Also, would you mind if the king of one of my nations was say, one quarter elf? Old alliance from centuries ago, I think the guy's grandmother might very well be still alive too. Justify previous diplomatic relations etc, to say that not ALL of Vinculi hates elves.

ALSO! What's the status of magic here? Necromancy in particular.
<Snipped quote by Wernher>This isn't really about balancing factors. Nobody is complaining about your nation being OP. It isn't.
I just feel it goes against the portrayal of your nation if it has populations comparable to the largest powers in this setting.
Europe was and in a way still is the heart of our world. In comparison you're an influencial but still small nation here.
One suggestion was actually to reduce the size of the planet a bit so we'd have less territories. So just pretend your nation is smaller and then the population count would make more sense.
Overpopulation is a relative term depending on multiple factors. You can play this faction well even with less than 150 million people in it.


This implies that 100% of the PRK is urbanized, likewise for Moravia, which I can't help but feel would go against the portrayal too. Also, read that your census is not including your colonial population, outside of elves and such.

Eh, just let @Wernher do as they will.

I've never seen them do anything too silly.


Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I'll keep my population as it is until I receive words going against that by the GM.
<Snipped quote by Wernher>Anywhere from 30 million to 90 million.
Whichever makes it fit for your nation(s) in comparison to the "big players" in size.


I'm iffy about that. I'll ender wiggin a little here and refer wikipedia for 1914 euro population.

Germany 56,000,000
France 38,000,000
Italy 32,000,000
Spain 20,750,000

Total 146,750,000

In comparison, Russia proper had 67,500,000.

Here, NOT!Russia PRK has 267,110,000

And I also have you, which is in the hundred of millions (Note, I don't know where your population is. Is it all in the mainland, or is it in colonies?)

I think 150 million is reasonable, considering the problems my nation face (Overpopulation, complete lack of resources)
