@ZB1996 Looks good to me, accepted.
@Shorticus Ah, nothing like ultra-macho female lizards to add some flare :D

God fucking dammit.
I made the Regulii as they were since I specifically wanted not to have to fight but fuck it, might as well go be militaristic as fuck then.
EDIT: I think I came off as snappier than I meant to >_>
Let's talk about getting deaded.
I doubt anyone here is really interested in forcing another player out of the RP by military conquest, that's just mean, and everyone here seems like lovable little sheeplings.
Throughout the course of history, peoples have been conquered, but rarely made extinct from the experience. If your civilisation does come under threat, consider the possible scenarios that may result in your capitulation. Perhaps the end result could be the merging of the defeated and the victor, allowing you to become a subordinate in the co-running of an empire...
And then influence events towards your peoples' eventual revolution or integration :P
More than likely, in the interests of the RP and people's feelings, I will personally intervene to ensure a reasonable conclusion results from a war in which someone loses badly.

I know. But the thing is, I made the Regulii so sexually inclined as to try and discourage people from attacking me and try to use some fucking diplomacy and yet here I am again with everyone automatically going on the warpath towards someone over something. Because in literally all the other NRPs I've been in, everyone is literally only focused on make a nation dedicated to war or industry and want to go charging in at the first sign no matter how noble they may be. Like seriously, Rome did more than just fuck barbarians with legions, Japan did more than make samurai armor and katanas and there was more to the Age of Sail than fucking pirates and colonial wars. Everyone ignores the fact that civilization has more than just guns and factory and decides that's what important about a nation instead of, I don't know, the fucking economy or the culture of it or its people. Everyone loves writing soldiers and heroes and leaders and completely forgo the average citizen or the artist or even the guy trying to start up a factory or discover something new.
Jesus fuck this got more ranty and rambly than I would have ever accepted it to be but fuck it. I guess all the cough medicines are fuckign with my head or soemthing and making me snappy. I'm going to go an cool my head for a while now. >_>
Steady on bro, let's give things a chance, shall we? It's not written in stone that this world is destined to end in an "hour of wolves and broken shields".
I understand your concerns, I really do - it's why I never really embroiled myself in NRPs on the guild, because on other sites WW3 always erupted from the get-go. End of the day though, I can either impose peace, or let players forge their own path - and imposing peace would just be wrong. People have to be free to do what they want.
Have faith though, at least wait for the Evolution Phase before judging the conclusion of this RP.
@ZB1996 On the subject of population sizes, I know from experience this is always a sore spot for people that are vaguely familiar with the history of Earth, and I'm surprised it hasn't come about sooner... but I guess I'm glad that it has.
If we were mirroring Real World progress, then it would take thousands of years before we finally did away with our flint and loin cloths, and moved onto bronze. Thousands of years before we did away with bronze, and moved onto iron. Establishing empires would also be a long-winded affair.
To help explain the rapid spread of our peoples in all areas, I saw it necessary to have large unified populations as a starting point.
That's my logic, and I'm going to stick with it, right or wrong. Adapt or moan at someone who will listen - not that you were moaning of course, I'm just warning off any future moaners.
@SavOrhchid Yeh, come on in, but be quick if ya can, this will be starting today.
That's right folks, by today we'll have a fully updated map, and the Evolution Phase will begin.
