Support would grow rapidly, though. The only thing that's needed is to have the majority of the army out in the open, away from the castle. Perhaps traveling to another kingdom for more slaves and to destroy and loot it.

The way I would go about it is getting the army to cross a plain between two hilly, forested areas. Perhaps a major trade route, where it had been deliberately widened for the purpose of large groups of people passing each other easily, and so they can camp on the edges without having to find a forest clearing, etc etc etc, which would give horsemen room to manuever, and archers and the like to effectively hide and snipe from the trees. Then it'd be a relatively easy manner in finding enough troops for several lines to block a narrow point, so that they can force the army to come at them at much more manageable numbers, so that archers can pick them off and calvary can strike at their rear ranks should they try to retreat.

Before I post, Wilson, are your ships investigating my ship that landed on your moon? Because literally only one landed there, you make it read like there's two or more.

Where? I don't believe I sent any ships to the moon. As far as I remember, I only kept one Explorer and one Varren, both of which are in orbit around N-1.

Also, no one try your luck with planets
A-1
B-1
C-1
D-1
E-1
F-1
G-1
H-1
or
I-1

Those are the full core-planets, and entering that space as an unidentified sentient race with a high speed and an intercept course will get you targeted, and if there isn't a response, then you'll probably be annhilated. A fleet would be a different story of course, but the reason I say this is because some guy, the first ever for hundreds of years, shows up and starts trying to kill people. Defensive, yes, and that means shooting anyone that gets into turret range when on high alert.

Regarding the roleplay right now

I would like to point out that unless it's a massive kingdom where everybody absolutely loves the King, having massive slave camps, a massive, well-trained, well-equiped army, and a giant castle with thousands of acres of farmland just to support a single city, where farmers would most likely be more similar to peasants in the medieval times rather than the poor citizens of later times, you wouldn't be able to support it. And with immigrants and the like, it'd be even harder to have a really large army. There will be people that won't know the language that well, and there will be people who are in it for the free food, the free drink, and the fame of being a soldier.

Personally, I'd immediately start organizing a revolt against a King that had such things. A giant, towering castle is only as good as its foundations; the strain put on the lower sections of walls would probably give way easier than the 250-foot walls of the Curaw Castle. It doesn't matter about the architecture or even the magic; something that large will most certainly be able to easily topple. A wooden house may be stout and strong. Take that wooden house and add a dozen stories to it; its foundations will creak and moan, it will sway in the wind and if a single beam is cut, the entire building may simply collapse, whereas before, it would not fail at all.

You're a single person, with a city of what seems like tens of thousands, with hundreds of thousands of subjects. Your words are no use against so many people; a mob will simply drown you out, and kill your power. Or one can plug their ears, and again, no influence would befall them. And giant slave camps? Working slaves to the bone? Other Kingdoms would band together if Verset was an aggressive nation, and they'd destroy Verset as one. Again, my calvary would probably join them.

There are powerful kingdoms, and then there are powerful kingdoms that can be easily toppled. Yours is one that can be easily toppled, because more often than not, the baron or lord of a fief is who people are loyal to, not to the King exclusively. Especially if they know that the King has a massive army that he uses to wipe out and take entire kingdoms prisoner to work to the death.

There are faulty nations, and then there are nations that just go too far. There will be powerhungry mages, powerhungry soldiers, etc etc etc, and that means you don't hold all the cards. The King would think he has all the control, but all he does is gesturing, and everyone will go along with it. Other nations would not trade with them, and you'd have your lords' cheeks, though they'd never show it. You've just made a King that has no power. Rome was far less powerful, from what I can tell, and they collapsed.

I like it, though warfare would certainly be harder for your people than others. All that water and extra equipment would be costly on ship equipment, I would suspect prove to be a little tricky with electrical systems? No gravity would also, I think, mess up a ship. And the requirements for atmospheric and for underwater use would, I think, require a good deal more activity-specific equipment, which means that warships would have to be quite large just to do everything you had in your application.

Nouvelle
In response to the guardsman introducing and welcoming them to the planet, the two Tinkerers that had disembarked did what was equal to a glance at each other; a slight twitch of the head towards each other was all that was needed. Simultaneously, the two Tinkerers pulled out their energy handguns, with bars on the side glowing an ominous blue, and handed them to the Hunters standing on either side, with two more flanking them.

The Hunters retracted their blades by folding it inward from the joint, sliding the edge of the bone blade into a slit in their inner forearm. A robotic hand, identical to the Tinkerers' and the Engineers', grasped the handguns that was handed to them. They attached them to their utility belt, appearing as if they just pressed it against the belt and they just stayed there, and then the Hunters, the four outside, and eight more coming from inside, all surrounded the shuttle, keeping people away from landing gears and from the open doorway. This time, their blades were not sheathed, as a sort of warning to any who would try to approach the Valkians' escape.

Then the two Tinkerers and two just-disembarked Engineers stepped forward to the captain, speaking an unknown language, and asked him in their own language, "Do you mean peace? What are you? Who are you? We have not the same languages, do we?" It did, of course, sound more like just one big word with a questioning tone, which is one of the few things similar about the two different races' speech.

After staring at the somewhat-equally-tall creature in front of them, studying it, the Tinkerer leading the mission was suddenly filled with a sort of clarity. Looking over at his colleague, which was just a small turn of the head, he didn't detect anything different about him. He turned his head towards him as well, but in question, and slight confusion.

After a moment, the leading Tinkerer said, "I believe the Valk-Mother has blessed me." The second Tinkerers' face grew alarmed and very, very confused, and the leader realized that he had just spoken in the exact same dialect as the one that had been used with the natives of the planets. Had he been able to see, and still used his eyes and the muscles around them, they would most certainly have burned with a curious, and surprised, fire. Then, being careful to speak in his language, he said again, "I believe the Valk-Mother has blessed me."

The other Valkian just gave a tiny nod, barely noticeable by the red-humans, but easily recognized by all the Hunters, the two Engineers, who were even more blown away than the Tinkerers- "Where's our Father now?"- and the leading Tinkerer.

"Could you perhaps let us meet a leader or representative?" the Tinkerer asked with the low, difficult to completely interpret voice, common among all Valkians. Only their shouts would be equal to a regular human's conversational tone.

I think we already have a vampire-based character, Ellrie's Thorinsomething. I'm not saying you can't have one, just saying that you might want to know that.

Worlds Collide - A Futuristic Fantasy RP

In naval terms, then dragons and other giant titans are ineffective, for similar reasons a walker wouldn't be efficient in modern warfare. Being big and giant causes more collateral damage, makes you slower, and gives you less magical support and range strength, which means if you have a line of a bunch of range-type shifters, the dragon or whatever is practically null.

Destroyers and the like replaced battleships because they could fire long-range missiles to hit precise locations, and cost less. Battleships were too big and too inefficient in comparison. Could take some damage, but a Destroy could fire a single missile and disable the ship without even sinking it, all the while being smaller and faster. Submarines could remain undetected and hit precise targets without anyone knowing, in their day.

Aircraft carriers could launch strikes against other boats from an even longer distance with better coordination and with more variety of weapons.

The big stuff is nullified by the new modern stuff. A dragon is like a heavily armored knight against a bunch of leather-clad against a bunch of ninjas with poisons and the like. Being a dragon is just being a giant punching bag.

And as for my app, I don't think I'll be joining because I've got a poopload of homework, and I'm tired and already relatively slow with my current roleplays. In addition, I can only really make big, good posts when I've got the proper inspiration, which I had at first, but not anymore.

And as for the self-insert thing, my characters are all somewhat like me. Not exact copies, but more so I have something that I _KNOW_. I'm not very good with being someone entirely different; every time I try writing a story, I feel like my characters are fake and stupid, and lack real personality. Having a basis similar to myself simply lets me have a much more realistic character, which I can change from there. Call me a crappy writer, I probably am.

That's another issue.Sukui destroyed my ships without ever giving me a chance to respond.Oh and I did that because I knew Wilson would get mad at me if I demanded someone change a IC post.

Personally, I would have liked it much better if you had just asked Sukui to change it with a regular post or PM, not be all dramatic about it. Just makes me dislike it more, not less.

And if you are GM, and you dislike me, why are you worried about me and my opinion?

Not to fight, KeyGuy, just saying.

I'm gonna make a lore entry for that light green area under Kalesia
A calvary-centered nation, producing cloths and silks, light armor, breeds the best chargers and warhorses, with long awlpikes and long arming swords. Agricultural nation, with livestock and grain and the like being grown, due to the plains biome that it's in, with the many rivers.

As one of the original RPers, does reposting a very slightly revised app get automatically accepted, or does the GM-peoples still have to look over it?
