On a different note what are everyone's thoughts on races?
I beleive we never wrote a profile on dwarves and gnomes, for example.
And even above that, are all the various races can interbreed with each other?
I mean can half-dwarves, half-trolls, half-gnomes and such exist?
I am pretty sure fairy halfbreeds are impossible, both on the genetical or even the physical level.

@Willy Vereb Yllendthyr bigger than all of Europe? Yeah, let's ignore that scale that you saw.

@Cyclone

Actually that was just a wild guess. in reality the entirety of Europe is apparently larger than the USA so Yllendthyr is roughl half of europe in territory. Not counting their vassal the Galhonore Commonwealth with which they'd have overall 80% of Europe's territory.

I meant we can, to reduce the scale of the map.

Because the current scale is bonkers.

@Isotope

It's only twice as large as the area of Earth which is given when the circumference of the planet here is 50k+ kilometers instead of the usual 40k.
I don't mind scaling things down but with that some other landmarks ma become downright tiny.
I think it's fine as long as people accept that their nations are quite big overall.
granted, I am not quite against downsizing, either.
In that way I can actually use some European country as comparison.
I always thought of Yllendthyr as kind of like France.

We cul just cut that scale in half, maybe a third of what it is.

Try ehhh, 14 for pixel length.

@Isotope

We did?
Alright, then.
The world suddenly just got so small
:bmay

BTW, can somebody show me that post? It's important for a math minded person like me.
I already wrote down that yllendthyr's mainland is 5.28 million square kilometers in area.

On a different note for anyone interested the topographical map in the interest thread has a size scale on it.
Not counting the Mercali distortion which I should (but nobody would care), each pixel square on our political map (the one in the OOC) has the scale of 1231.1 km^2
which means if you measure length a single pixel length equals the square root of that so 35.08 km
This is using the normal scale political map with the dimensions of 1145x726 pixels.
At any other size you have to convert things on your own first.
Granted, if you do the math this means our planet has twice as much surface area compared to Earth (over a billion instead of less than half billion square kilometers).
So if anyone has an alternate scale I am all ears.
As things stand my pixel calculator put the size of my mainland without the vassal state right next to it already at 53% of the USA's size. For the record that's bigger than the whole of Europe.
Our nations are technically pretty big.

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

m sheet is technically both ready and not even half done et.
Thought I would fill out all the categories Voltus put down and well, that takes time
That and the history is always something I rather do during IC.

<Snipped quote by Araby264>

Don't worry, I'm sure that Voltus will let you in.

That middle continent on the map is still pretty empty.

@Cyclone

Um, the middle continent on the map is essentially Africa.
We have plenty of place on the main continent, actually.

BTW, I forgot to copy-paste the kind of flying bomb I have here:

@Araby264So long there's a free land, I suppose?
More the merrier.

Gnomish chemists actively research chemical agents and such in the Commonwealth. Is any other nation even mentioned to be pursuing chemical weapons, much less willing to use or produce them?

@Cyclone

My original NS said that Yllendthyr has good chemical industry. i don't wish to be on par with nations who are notably the "best" in the field but we do keep up. Or specialty is rather engines, jets and rockets. Elves love the speed and their religion would be pleased if the gain the capability to reach the stars.
And for some reason I thought your nation would rather hunt the Gnomes and put them into camps.

The Sun Will Never Set (Reboot)

Willy's right about the above. The explosive yield wouldn't be any greater than traditional explosives, say TNT, but the primary thing making it deadlier is the flammability and potential for thermobaric explosives.

Also, on the rocket/missile question, I basically had V2s in the old RP and my sheet still reflects that (and no one objected). So if they're disallowed I will have to change that. Mine are only guided by a simple gyroscope so they have even rougher accuracy, pretty much only able to hit a specific city.

@Mihndar

V2s are actually pretty advanced as far as rocketry goes even if they weren't so amazing as weapons.
Though the fact they were literally impossible to intercept by WW2 methods made them downright scary in the political sense.
I suggest limiting them to later game.
With you we have 3 factions of 3 different interests working on their own rocket program so I think it'd be fun if we have a bit of arms race.
