I was just contemplating that myself. Hunters/players? What is your take on the matter? 

I had thought bows or crossbows for simplicity's sake and because it makes the ambiance better in my mind. But if the hunters/players want to have firearms, so be it. (Their enemies will as well) [img]http://www.sympato.ch/smileys/EG.gif[/img] 

Russia as a whole was largely isolated on purpose for a good long time so I was keeping that air of isolationism (as can be seen in the build of the village). Amusingly enough the article (have I mentioned this before?) that inspired this whole thing was set in Georgia and I may take a Georgian map and modify it at some point. You'll see in the OP that I didn't actually name the land or the Tsar. It is the land, it is the Tsar. All because of this isolated mindset.
