Oh right it's taken. We really need a map that shows currently claimed nations...

@Chenzor I'll work on it.

@Voltus_VentusSup, so I have an idea for a average to small sized nation that is advanced in the ways of alchemical warfare, with the plausibility of magically enhanced soldiers. Not sure what type of government it will be yet, and the economy is what I think I'll have the most trouble with as a new NRP player.

@Raijinslayer I really need to remove that fantasy tag. This is not that kind of RP, there will be no magic and alchemy, it's science and chemistry, a 1930-1940 desielpunkish RP.

@Voltus_VentusI can work with that, but by alchemy I meant things more lik3 wildfire, stimulants for soldiers, and others kinds of chemical and mutative stuff, as well as some composite metals and stuff.

@Raijinslayer As long as it's not over the top, I'll accept it. And if I ask you to change it, I'm hoping you will.

@hivekiller Hey, hope yer still interested.

@Voltus_Ventus yeah, I'm still working on my sheet at the moment. My head's hurt from all the assignments,
so didn't have much progression. Hopefully I can bring it up within the next 12 hours.

@hivekiller please take your time, we are in no rush. :)

@Voltus_VentusUnderstandable, I'll get a NS up by this weekend at the most, as that's when I'll have the most computer access. Here are a few ideas that I have currently: Napalm-like substance, Freeze-bombs using Liquid Nitrogen, Something known as the Nightmare Legion because they've had their feeling of pain removed, as well as some parts of their sanity. They are also slightky harder to kill and will fight until a vital like the Heart or Head is hit. An idea gotten inspired from the Laughing soldiers from the inheritance cycle, possibly mutated animals, like warbears with bone plate armor or something and horses that have a lot more stamina then normak steeds. Just off the top of my head.

@Raijinslayer Too much, napalm alright but this is 1930-40 tech, so bionics and genetics haven't been invented yet.

@Voltus_VentusIf we are at it, check my technology section for Yllendthyr.
I even included a bunch of mechanical properties for mithril.
Basically it's kinda like a lighter and weaker version of Titaniun, at least if we measure modern alloys.
If we watch it by the time's standards mithril is a decent metal but a I said steel armors are better. You may compensate for this via thickness but you can't always do it.
Another thing to note is that mithril is softer and bends easier than steel.
The latter mean elven constructs need to be lighter because mithril frames can take less load.
On the other hand Mithril is rather elastic and ductile along with decent properties as a conductor.
Mithril can pretty much replace copper or gold wires.

Anyways, the one part which may make you raise your eyebrow is aviation.
I didn't detail it yet but basically elves have a long history in riding Griffins into battle.
That and the fact their bodies are a natural gyroscope gives them a considerable advantage in aviation. Be it technology or their experience at flight.

@Willy Vereb I hope there will be no more griffen riding then, tech, remember that this is tech. I don't mind it being a past legend though.

I can't see why griffins are being an issue.
It's literally air cavalry. And we all know what happened to cavalry units in World Wars when faced vehicles.
Griffins are slow compared to aeroplanes and you really don't want to combat fighters with them.
That and fighters are cheaper to own than any breed of griffin.

Look Willy, I denied the guy above magic and stuff, I'm only being fair by denying you it.

If the fantasy tag is being pulled, does that mean we have to stick to humans? I ask because I was including a few non-human species in my nation.

You don't make much sense here.
This isn't any sorts of magic. It's a species of big birds (or bird-mammal hybrid species, to be precise).
I can't see what advantage it even gives me in the age of aircrafts. It's the matter of style.
With the same reasoning you can just deny elves or any kind of fantastical element from the RP.

Hope not because that was kind of the point of the whole RP to me.
If we pull any of the "fantasy" part from the RP I pretty much going to lose all interest in it.

@Willy Vereb Fine, I yield. You can have your griffens bro.

As long as they are subspecies or similar things.

Thank you!
Well, not like I have any grand plans with them.
Realistically a Griffin could barely carry more than its rider. If I do the sensible thing and decide to give my riders parachutes then it gets even more problematic.
Griffs should be able to carry 80-100 kilos or so.
Pulling weight is a different thing, so far the weight suspends in the air.
I'm thinking of something like a balloon cart for rich nobles pulled by multiple Griffins.

@Voltus_VentusI give you the beasts and more durable soldiers, but I think that Liquid Nitrogen should be fine, and the Legion could still exists since pain could be blocked with the use of chemicals and what not. If you still say no to the Legion, I'll drop the matter.
