@ClocktowerEchos Nah it's cool man, I didn't take any offence.

We're probably going to die anyway in the Third Century, after the Kobolds develop Nuclear Physics.


We won't die once the Kobolds develop Nuclear Physic in the 3rd century, we'll all die in the fourth century once they have Gandhi as a leader.

@Shorticus Want to try and work something out seeing how close we are to each other in the bay?

EDIT: Can I ask how many of you are familiar with EU4?

@Frengo My rant last night was due to a bunch of thing like cold medicine and a lack of sleep. In theory the rant should have never happened but blegh. Just needed to blow some steam off I guess.

Have a man eating a turtle.gif to make up for it.





Have a turtle eating a bird, gif. Just because. Lol.

@SavOrhchid Yo, move your sheet over to the character tab so I can link it in the Current Nations section.

@ClocktowerEchos I tried it, but couldn't get into it. Grand Strategy games defeat my simple intellect.

Total War however, I can do those all day long - APART FROM ROME 2 THAT FAILED THE SERIES AND SCARRED ME FOR LIFE.

Not sure yet, but I'll try to reflect the tech in play I guess where possible. Rome or Medieval for these early battles; Napoleonic or FoS for the later ones. Space Age will be decided by 20 units of flaming pigs going at each other in Rome 1 tho.

Woohoo! Let's get this party started!

I do wonder about using a game to determine battles if people can't agree on an outcome though. How do you account for some races being just superior in a purely physical sense? Or technology levels or myriad other things?

I've made my first post, the first hundred years of Kobold freedom. If you come across any spelling or grammar errors feel free to consider it a error in translating the runes.

Soon, or relatively soon, the Kobolds march, to war!

I'll marry things as best I can, in the event that I am asked to resolve conflicts.

It will not be perfect, but it will be more dramatic and fairer than a simple coin toss.

A simple scenario though, for example, would be if my Dwarves were invaded by a fully fledged Promethean army.

Dwarves = Citizen soldiers with no real training, and ill-suited to open ground combat where their size puts them at a disadvantage. However, numbers are on their side.

Up against a Promeathean war band, of hardened and trained warriors.

It might translate as:

10 Roman Early Cohorts vs 20 Greek Militia Hopilites.

I'd test the battle first, to ensure things look kinda right (the other army doesn't rout within a few seconds)

And then I'd have at it.

The casualties sustained on both sides would be computed into a percentage, which would then be given unto the RP. SOOOOO:

10,000 Dwarf Citizen Soldiers vs

5,000 Promethean Warriors

Dwarfs = 78% Casualties, ending rout

Promethean = 60% casualties, victors.

I could then be like "The Dwarf Army suffered grievous casualties, forcing them into a disastrous rout; meanwhile the Prometheans themselves, though victorious, sustained losses they could ill afford to replace." Which would translate into a minor Promethean victory, but perhaps a strategical defeat.

Yes, because the obvious evolution of warfare is all about sending flaming lumps of bacon at each other. Nice to know that American tax dollars aren't going to waste for this pieces of super high tech, futuristic, state of the art military equipment.

Oh hey Frengo, I got a question I need answering for my calendar. How long do each of the moons take to complete full "cycle" through their phases?

I had this information, and then did away with it because I thought no one would care.

*Face palms*

In hind sight, that was a terrible decision on so many levels that it has probably broken the space time continuum IRL.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, you're going to have to bear on me with that, because I'll need to recreate the calandar and what have you. Going out with the Mrs for a meal in a mo, so I wont get around to it until later tonight or tomorrow.

Hahaha, nice one. It's cool though, I can wait. Once you figure it out all I gotta do is do the math to determine how often they'll match up.

Hey, I hope it's not to late to join in; I was gone most of the week and only saw this yesterday. I'm new to the forum, but I've been lurking for quite a long time, waiting for an RP that really grabs me! (Thanks for coming up with this cool idea)

...I may have gone ahead and made a race myself already, one I think is pretty unusual, but that I hope is appropriate and balanced for what you had in mind!

DYARVIK (Stone-trolls) and the Valley of the Five Stones:

@epicberet Gonna give you a provisional "Yes, welcome aboard" for now, because there will be time to admit you during this turn phase. However, I haven't got the time to read over your app at present (laying in bed, preparing for sleep!). Whatever happens, I'll imagine you'll be fine.

@TheSovereignGrave Yeah, It'll have to be tomorrow bud, sorry about that. The annoying thing is that the Calender Generator gave me all that information - why I didn't just save it all is beyond me; a rare moment of derpy derpy derp I'm afraid. Still, should be fixable once I get home from work tomorrow.

It's cool; it's not really too big of a deal. If it gets to my turn before then I can just do my post and edit in the date with my own calendar later. No biggy.

@sigma Hey. Don't mind me, just nudging. Tis your turn, and I'm curious to see what the scary brutish creatures of the west do over the next five hundred years. Or how their historian writes their history for that matter, as I'm sure that in of itself would be hilarious/amazing.
