Hello and good day, evening, morning, or night!

Allow me to introduce myself; I am Snake Face, a young college student and athlete who also has a deep passion for literature and deeply written books, Roleplays, and so on.I have been text based roleplaying for over five years now and I am also a recreational avid fandom and short story writer.
I'm also a major video game nerd who has a wide taste of variety, everything from Total War to Call of Duty to Grand Theft Auto to Command and Conquer and even some sports video games!So I'm sure to have something in common interest with you!

Now, on with why I am here; here recently I've been having a Medieval and Renaissance era crave, and would like to create a nation Medieval era RP.
So here we go...

SETTING
I have 3 different settings in mind:

•1071-A large scale RP where the map stretches from the British Isles to Baghdad, so in other words, all of Europe, parts of Africa, and the Middle East.

•1250,The British Isles-A smaller RP centered around England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and the invading Norweigan Vikings.The plot would be centered around the Welsh and Irish resistance while tension grows between the English and the Scottish, all while the Norweigans begin their conquest of the British Isles.

•1250-Eastern Europe(Germany,Russia,Denmark,Lithuania,Poland,Hungary, and Norway)-This RP will be centered around the Teutonic Knights and their bloody campaign against Lithuania, the last of the pagan kingdoms, and their surrounding neighbors.With the Holy Roman Empire and Poland backing the Teutonic Knights.

MAP(s)
An Adequate map will be provided once we have picked out which scenario to base the RP off of.

GAME MECHANICS
I was inspired to do this RP by the PC strategy game Medieval 2 Total War and the Kingdoms expansion pack.So I'll be drawing elements and mechanics and whatnot from there.If you have never played Total War PM me or comment and I'll give you full detail, don't be shy! :p

THE KIND OF RP PARTNERS IM LOOKING FOR
-Preferably someone within the United States, where at though does not matter.I find it hard to RP efficiently with Europeans and other foreign RP'ers due to the time zone difference.
-Someone who writes in advanced or at least casual style.
-Someone who's not going to get bored and just quit or dissapear on me.If you get bored with or tired of an RP I find it better to take a little break instead of just quitting all together.

Alright, that's everything, I await eagerly for responses! :D

I was wondering where I found those ideas so familiar from, halfway reading the post. I must admit, I was bumping the concept around in my head...

I'm a little RP skittish as of late, but a total war base, being a veteran of the series for well over a decade, does have its effect.

The various expansions seem most plausible to me, I don't think we would be able to fill enough slots and keep them active for something based off the grand campaign - though for other contexts I'd suggest Italy, Spain, Scandinavia/Russia(Novgorod)/Germans/Poland area, city states of Russia with mongols looming, (hoping this one wouldn't be too touchy, it isn't for me, but eh) crusades/middle east (again, assuming we would be able to work past political garbage related to today), French/English war with surrounding nations, and the region around and including the Byzantine empire, all concepts I've mentally bounced around in the past.

Hmmm how about the Britannia Campaign, that has only 5 factions plus occasional insurgencies and upstart rebellions such as the Baron's Alliance.
Even if all the factions aren't filled as OP I could controll the "AI's", I would certainly be willing to do that?

Or would you, like you said, prefer Italy and Spain for example or the Crusades?I'm really open and eager for any of it really.

You seem to like Britannia, and I just threw out random examples, so we can roll with it :)

If you're doing the Britannia campaign I may be interested in playing as Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, not played much Total War but am generally familiar with other RTS games.

Excellent, so you would master the Welsh Rebellion then, Wales always my favorite faction to play as it was the most challenging and interesting.
I'll reserve that for you if you would like.

Great! ^.^

So should I go ahead and get to work on the IC-OOC and character sheets and whatnot?

Oh... sure :)

Oh... sure :)

What faction would you like so I can reserve it for you.

Ya know, even given the poor historical value of the faction, I think I'll pull a gig with the Norwegians/vikings.

You got it!

Eh.... I feel like making people play major factions of the time will make it way too far from historical events for my liking.

To me this is meant to be more of a faction RP than a character RP.
It will be historically based yes, but with potential alternate history, since that would be part of the fun, I mean it won't be terribly alternative to history though.
It's still your choice though. :)

I'll see how the idea progresses. I may join, might not.

The fundamental concept is based on Total War, which is based on the idea that history starts off normal, and the player (players in hotseat) make their own histories from there.

Historical setting without a root in historical accuracy beyond the first few bits, in other words. Good for people who like to play with history, horrible for history nerds.
