BTW, Food and better houses increase population growth? Man, I read most of the IC but it seems I didn't put sufficient attention to the details. This RP really works closer to something like a turn-based strategy game than I originally gave credit for.
I must say I really hate when arbitrary gameplay limitations are enforced against my creativity. This is my personal view for forum RPs and for this reason I'm now considering to drop out.

No, this isn't a bad game at all. Seriously, I love a lot of things in it. Props to the whole set-up and the GM's efforts in general. But as I said for forum RPs narrative should be the king and I can already see the series of clashes and disappointments I'd experience with my nation here. This doesn't mean the GM does something wrong. This is just my own personal opinion.
So to prevent problems and future frustration I think I'll leave this RP.
Too bad, because as Chenzor can attest from my PMs I have plenty of enthusiasm to NRP with this race.
But I feel I'll never be able to accomplish what I want this way.
This might be a bit quick decision of me so I could reconsider this.
