I have a question regarding terrain and the original map - Although a large swathe of land in my region is forested according to the image, would it be alright to revise that in the NS and write it as largely plains?

@Aristo I don't know if you'd consider moving, but there is nobody south of my territory and that bottom coastline is the largest continuous expanse of plains on the island. The distance between Ospa, Jura and Xiang wouldn't even change, really.

Hm, I'll wait around and see what input Thrashy offers. I'm just about done with my sheet; all's left is the locations and history. May throw in some additions to other sections as well.

Sure, that's ok :)

@The Omnipotent Sphere

Wait a bit longer with the IC actions. I'm currently writing the vassals and don't want to overload the system :P

@Thrashy Alright.

@Aristo Since Thrashy is okay with it, what if the Xiang harvested all the trees you're removing to make their Massive Ships?

Sphere. The Men of the Woods can provide lumber for all the needs, in exchange for Iron. Since they don't have any mountians, and they don't like mining the forest floor, the rely on whatever sweeps through the forest rivers, and occasionally make Tamahagane, so they import iron through Bifrost.

Skádi and Mjöla

In Öspaín shamanism, Skádi and Mjöla serve as the twin gondoliers of the sun and moon. In myth, each day they ferry the celestial bodies in their arcs, ensuring that the sun sets and the moon rises. Neither goddess has a particular affiliation with either body---oftentimes, they trade places, growing weary of their time in the light or rejecting the lunar darkness. In runic syllabary, they are represented as a circle broken through the center, one continuous entity, not two separate mythic figures. Each day at dawn in shamanistic communities, the shaman arises and presents "sunbones"---reindeer or fish bones inscribed with the runic sigil---to the east, whose rattling ensures that the goddesses wake at their oars.

@The Omnipotent Sphere Two sun goddesses hot off the presses for you

Yes, but why would Xiang do that when they're sitting on a large forest that Aristo wants to remove anyways? Wood isn't exactly a high-demand commodity on Seyan.

They could have harvested the trees for the ships, yes. That and other things. It's really up to Aristo.

Because they are nutjobs with bad money skills?

@babbysama They look pretty vulnerable though, I'm not sure they have enough territory to thin enemy ranks before they reach a city.

@The Omnipotent Sphere
Well, considering they will probably know about any incoming attacks because of the spies they'd probably already have multiple traps and ambushes set up on the border. Also, if a large enough army were to attack that it threatens the nation that bad, they'd Rusia-in-WW2 it. Destroying the enemies' food and supplies and destroying any villages they would pillage on the way to any main cities (or maybe just Cupiditas if the situation is that dire) so that by the time an army reaches the walls of Cupiditas or an important city, they are so weak that they cannot stage a proper siege. Also remember that these guys are masters at ambushing. Don't underestimate this style of warfare.

@Elitestpotato Very true, it has the potential to cripple an invading force, but for a nation like the Xiang or Jura which has large reserves Lucrum has the potential to eventually succumb to enemy duress simply because of the numbers. But overall, a very potent style of waging war in the case that it should come to that.

What do you think Lucrum's stance will be on Öspa? Two big time trading nations located adjacent to each other would surely butt heads on occasion. Öspa has the upper hand in terms of maritime trade, while Lucrum is better connected to mainland Seyan due to the strategic trade routes which run through it. Do you think we would be friends? Enemies? Or frenemies?
