Fragmenting of an Empire- OOC Thread of wonders

[Vahir]

Auto those fonts are the win. Where'd you get them? Also I kind of nicked your map to make the Estradee map, sorry about that :P

Puts my sad attempt at a map to shame. I say it should be the official RP map, because, damn!

I found them on deviantart.

http://starraven.deviantart.com/art/...shes-198264358 for mountains and trees.
http://starraven.deviantart.com/art/...rush-153063338 for silly lines and those little city/castle icons.

Also, though I like your Estradeen map, you stole some Borkstovan land :P

Whoops- sorry. I'm terrible at borders as you can probably tell, I'm still kinda learning map making, I've only made a few.

Do those brushes work with GIMP? I don't have photoshop (So very expensive).

No idea. Only one way to find out I guess.

I made a page concerning the uprising against Brendel Bardic.

Looking great, guys. IC will be up tomorrow, and troop numbers will be posted today.

And yay, troop numbahs

Troop Numbers: This is not the size of a Kingdom's army, but the max number of soldiers they can levy. Each time a faction levies an army, they must subtract the number of troops of said army from their max army (shown below). Hiring mercenaries does not subtract from your max army count, though it will cost a lot of money.

Pontetate Empire: 100,000

Ayreth: 35,000
Celland: 10,000
Frankmark: 15,000
Estradee: 20,000
Borksvto: 20,000

Nordic Empire: 45,000

Volgaland: 9,000
Jaltmalljur: 9,000
Icegale: 6,750
Ravenkrak: 13,500
Haljmaltgard: 6,750

Laodecia: 10,000

Stonehelm: 5,000

The total amount of soldiers for Borkstvo is very low considering how large the country is. I don't see how Estradee and Borkstvo can have the same size of army even if you say that that would be because of the large population density. Borkstvo would have a very low density, but a high total population, while Estradee would have a low total population but a very high population density. And Ayreth has a very high amount of troops for what it is. Laodecia has a force of 10,000 which would mean that, keeping their superior troops in mind, it would defeat Frankmark in open war for example.

And no, I'm not saying that because I'm playing as the King of Borkstvo.

Anyway, that's just my view on the matter. Don't mean to instigate discontent or anything.

Estradee and Borkyland are the same because of what you said- Estradee is smaller, but amazingly dense, with cities older than even some of the Nordic Empire's holds (and considering Estradee is not constantly at war with itself...). In comparison, Borkstvo is massive, yet extremely young. Not dense at all. Thus he supposed lack of difference.

And I probably will bring Laodecia down to 6,000 or so, now that I keep thinking about it haha.

[Alabala]

A 5000 maximum is just sitting there, staring at me, taunting, challenging. When I think about it, it does make sense, but seeing how Laodecia is even smaller, but can still pull out 6000 troops, even with its militant nature, perhaps a small increase is in order, maybe around 8000? It's not like Stonehelm can't afford it, I mean, and they are pretty stable overall.
