Lol, everyone looks so small next to the Lance.

Aren't their another three/two Empires to add... The mainland is going to get real cramped

I agree. Of course, 'It's up to gowia.'

Of course, this has a downside for them too, particularly with Ducks size. It's possible we'll see a Russian Empire scenario arise, where the Lance Empire is rather inefficient because their homelands are so massive and it becomes slower and harder to move goods, soldiers and equipment around. Cant be cheap to link all of it together, infrastructure must cost a bomb. Not to mention, he has just 2 million more people than the Vanjanans, but has around 6 times more land. Thus, a lot of the land will thus likely be unexploited and unproductive, and if a new resource is discovered it might not even be economical to exploit it because of the coast of shipping workers there and building infrastructure etc and it is also going to be harder to detect and respond to invasions
Of Course, as we progress this could be slowly fixed and with that land mass he's likely got tonnes of resources, he just needs time to slowly build up and eventually he might be able to exploit it all.

That's part of the reasons I'm worried about the spread of the islands (The Great God Gowia was unimpressed with the sacrifices lol) cause I need at least four to make my nation work so no matter what one will be situated a tad too far away for my liking, and I am also worried about being too large for my population. Still, better than being trapped on the mainland next to massive Empires of doom xD

One could slip into the empire and right out the other side without ever being detected. And, if someone so felt like it, they could probably just come in and start mining/cutting/doing whatever, and it'd take years for the Empire to find out.

But still, if there are THREE empires on one continent, then there won't be enough space for two empires and two smaller nations.

Depends on the area, certain areas likely get more traffic than others despite being uninhabited, but potentially, yeah, as long as they choose a far off the path location and ensured they took unused routes (ideally basic roads they made themselves) to transport the goods out and were careful, though they would ideally have to forgo machines just to be sure.

We'll wait and see. I'm sure if we run out of space Gowia will amend the map so everyone gets a place, until then I guess we just have to wait for the other Empires.

A word of advice to all players, stake your claims quickly to ensure you get what you want, because we are operating first come first served, it seems

You could make the little ones in the middle act as one.

Still too small, they fit the bill for the minor islands, not the four pillar islands or five major islands


Islands:

Far western: Saxley

Central cluster:
north west: morland
North east: lesser moorland
Southern: alswell

Far eastern: Vivia

I think that layout is the closest to what's on my sheetm save with Alswell moved from the north to the south

Might switch vivia to lesser morlands current location and degrade lesser moorlands importance, depends on whether anyone wants part of the far eastern island and/or Gowia is fine with extent of my claims (I've acquired quire a bit of land, more than a little upscaling from what I intended when I designed the nation and all, and its made me pretty large...)

Gee, Corustaria is 4 or 5 times bigger than me and has less people. Vanjana must be nothing but factories and apartments. I guess that could explain the instability... hmm... I'll bet the people just want a little breathing room.

And there's an incentive for colonization and/or conquest!

I don't want to be this big :c curse the map for not having four conveniently located islands, I declare war on the cartographers guild! Lol

Of course, it WAS your fault by setting up your nation's geography and locations before the map was made. I simply said that the Mountaintop kingdom is in the mountains, with a norther, southern, western, and eastern city, with one central. I didn't say that I had a specific mountain or hill or cake or something.

Forget cake. Who needs cake when you have

3.14= PIE

Well, this nation was in the previous RP, and when one makes a nation made out of several islands, one HAS to state those which are important, especially since the culture would be a mish mash or at the very least heavily influenced by the cultures of these islands. Then one would have to define the basic geography.

That's still close to a third of the map. Expanding the main continent seems needed.

I agree, it looks too small considering we have a higher than Average level of Empires

Sorry recent incidents have kept me away from the laptop...in the way of the land it will not be changing bit I will change peoples sizes to refit it well enough. So Empires will probably be smaller than ducks however I will still make them noticeable bigger. Also darkwolf, you are allowed all the islands if nobody else wants them. I will fill in the map when I have all the locations I need.

Cant wait to begin, hehe.
