freaking, cyro just took away pretty every natural advantage i had, the mountain defenses, the river which told have been turned into a canal, and the wooded coast of the bay which i needed very much. q.q

if you need mercenaries, then my nation will happily give you them to assist you in battles.

[Titanic]

well, time to start a rebellion in the mountains. :)

[Titanic]

i need to push him out of the mountains thats all.

[Titanic]

how much would the mercs cost?

[Batarian Batman]

You could always invade. Or make tons and tons of posts that fill up an entire page.

[Titanic]

im not invading you, im really just planning on buy that land or something like that. besides, my land military power is virtually non-existent. mainly naval power. its just that you took away one of the major defenses i needed for any nation that would attack me.
Could we come to an agreement on the land problem?

[Batarian Batman]

Honestly, Cryos would have to be taken before any sort of invading nation attempted to attack you from the south the you still have the northern mountain range. Perhaps we can come to an agreement but I doubt the mountains would be given up since the first Major city of that region was founded there.

I'd happily take on some light responsibilities when I'm needed! Also, Golem, on page 2 I had some questions/comments, if you could go back and check those? Thanks:)

Time to go hard on updating my NS!!!

[Titanic]

The agreement would have still given you the city of home.

[Titanic]

so, want to work on the land agreement? I wouldn't control the land outside the border. it would be neutral though.

[Batarian Batman]

Can you post an image of the plot of land in question? Also let's go to pms.

[Red Wizard]

@Lord Coake: That sounds just dandy :) Consider yourself allied!

@AegonVI: Sweet! And to answer your question: The Empire, spanning over so much land and people, became unstable as it struggled to keep all the different peoples and cultures in check. Conflicts over religion, government, speech, customs, taxes... In the end, when a few dissident provinces suddenly became many, the Empire could no longer sustain itself and collapsed. Is that an acceptable answer?

[Titanic]

anyone want salt? i can trade salt.

It's no big deal Titanic, but if you have something to add can you please edit your first post if it hasn't been replied to? There's just a dozen discussions going on currently and its a lot to wrap my head around. xD

Also, GM / Co-GM. My factions "magical" sector has 6 priests that sometimes may get sporadic premonitions of the future when the Gods feel that it is right. Would you be willing to roleplay the god's will whenever these premonitions would come (you decide what they see and when)? (Their only use is longevity through magic and the contact with the gods.)

And to address the issue of balance. There are some Utopian societies, but that's fine. As long as they have "flaws", I can't see any issues surrounding it. For example, a head on attack by an advanced army would decimate my cities, bar the one single city that's walled. I'd just appreciate it if there was no "play to win" attitude.

Edit: And @Golem - I'm down with the trading proposal. *Shakes hand*

[Sauron The Dark Lord]

Yeah.. I can't make my NS until tomorrow, I have to sleep now.

@eemmtt: And who makes them? Surely, a magician would have to. Some kind of artificer, perhaps?

The runes are made by Rune-Chiefs .

[AegonVI]

Is the map only completed NSs?

[Titanic]

no worries, me and bat came to a agreement on the land.
