I'm convinced that he must have added an extra zero or something.

That's what I get for doing this near midnight, wheres my head?

But yes that should be 4,598,100, so about 4 and a half million. Not the madness I accidentally put earlier. >.>

The military numbers for Solamike's nation are correct however.

As for Noctua I got about the same as I did before.

Population: 4,323,000
Military: 21,615

There's almost as much mountains as their is farming land, which is probably the only thing keep Noctua from having more people then its neighbours. Though I imagine Noctua would conceivably need shorter time to gather levies, as most of the population is likely clumped rather close together.

Wait, population and military is all decided by the GM then? Thought it was being left up to our discretion. What are mine looking like?

I decided it would be faster, I mean I could give everyone the rough sq miles of their nations and tell them to calculate it...But the end result would be the same.

Your Nation would be looking at;

Population: 1,788,150

Military: 8,940

Taking into account all the smaller islands this is what I end up with.

Seems like I was following the wrong interest check the whole time. Well, whatever. I guess I'll stake a claim while there's still land available- may I have the rest of the desert east of the pale orange plot and north of the grey plot? Thanks, and I'll slowly work on my sheet.

Yup, it's still open, and it's a good thing I left it open, heh.

Is Lord Marshal position available to play?

It is, though, when the High Houses vote to be Lord Regent(which is the opening event of the RP), it will be whoever is playing the Lord Regent who picks the new members for the council seats. (Of course, he's not allowed to pick anyone from his house.)

Sadko said
Can I also apply? Thanks.

Of course! ^^

Claiming a spot:It's a pretty large area, but I imagine it's sparsely populated so it evens out.

That's fine.

Ah..ok, thanks anyway.

[Crabmeat]

May I also have a population & military size evaluation please? :) As the climate map on the interest check didn't cover the region in which my nation's situated, it may be important to mention I intend the region to be semi-arid due to its proximity to the desert so this will probably affect the calculation.

[LordZell]

I would love one aswell/

[Little Bill]

I'd also like a population estimate, albeit with a slight reduction in numbers for plot reasons.
Anyway, here's a preview for the house I'm making. If anyone wants a sigil in this style, PM me and I'll try my best.

[Milkman]

How can a population of 4.3 million have 108.000 soldiers and a population of 1.8 million only 9.000? Something seems off in that part :)

Also, an army of 100.000 men for a single realm seems rather large to me. When you look at european military history of the middle ages armies in the field typically ranged from 3.000 to 10,000 soldiers. Especially when the armor of knights became better, western armies became smaller. Untrained levies with pitchforks drawn from the peasant population simply had no value anymore on the battlefield.

I'm looking for two strategic marriages:

1. Djegan Khyriin, elder brother to my faction leader and Ambassador to the faction in Skyhaven. He's aged 45 and has 4 children.
2. Fiora Khyriin, sister of my faction leader. Aged 41. I'm looking for a husband for her :)

Now I notice where I went wrong, I have to remember to drop that last zero else it to bonkers. But there, not its sorted.

I revised both previous calculations, at least now that I know what cases it I can avoid it in the future.

Double post.

[Milkman]

Can you give me a pop and military number?

How are we going to control family members that have been married off to the house of a different player? Are they in control of the player of the house of their husbands? Or do they remain in control of the player they originally belonged to as far as roleplaying with them goes?

People will remain in control of characters they have created from their dynasty even if their shipped off to be married or are hostage in another court (unless you want to give up control of course). What of children you may ask? Well simplest solution then would be whichever last name they have is the dynasty they belong to, and thus, under the control of that player. (pretty much in classic Crusader Kings style)

If you would be so kind, I too would like a population and military number.

House Sovanid is soon to be posted in the Sheet thread.

Also updated OP map claims.

Will work on a basic bestiary for Elyden, if anyone has any ideas for it feel free to share. ^.^

[Lone Wanderer]

When we're working out military pop. For boats do we count a certain amount of people for each boat to row etc. or are they just represented as 1 pop?

For galleys and other war ships, I'll leave to player desecration for what seems reasonable for that state.

[Katabasis]

I'd like to reserve the following highlighted territory, if I may. Assuming this territory is approved, I should have a WIP sheet up before too long.



Edit: Freed up the northern shore of the lake for my northern neighbor.

[The Nexerus]

And there we are, House Sovanid's WIP sheet has been posted. If you want to work out a marriage or some other kind of tie, PM me.
