Yeah, that's what I was going for. I must admit, I panicked when I saw the first post - I was like "What? Surely it can't be that small?"
Yeah 5k+ map dimensions are in the OK range.
Albeit I sadly used the correct means to calculate the size of my nation so I'm indeed just as large as Greece now.
(Granted, I didn't want to be a huge nation to begin with. I want to be a considerable sea power, though)
Anyways, what are your thoughts on my nation using griffs and generally possessing various means to travel in the skies?
It's a pretty fun prospect and if you think things through being in the air isn't even really anything close to OP.
Not until you can use cannons or other siege weapons, at least.
(Not like I want them, though)
Anyways, time to introduce what I roughly plan for my nation.
How do you feel if my elves have extensive use of Griffins or its derivatives.
They are less of über units and more like literal air cavalry. They have their various ups and downs and of course griffins are still more expensive than horses.
I also think about making air carriages for nobles or chariots riding in the skies. Of course towed by rows of Griffins.
It'd be pretty fun.
If you worry about griffin archers or such, the problem is that winds are greater in high altitudes plus that distance is both a curse and a boon for them. Ground archers may find difficult to hit them but so would Griffin Archers find difficult to hit anything on the ground. So there would be a more optimal altitude for them when griffins are used in battle. I may also think of Griffin Knights if the weight limits isn't too strict. Basically Griffin Riders who attempt to pierce their foes with a lance while directing their griffins in a dive move.
I would also think that magic/alchemy would be implemented with my nation in a method close to technology. The results aren't powerful but can help to bridge some minor technical difficulties.
Basically it'd less of an "über OP magic world" and more like an odd empire with their own unique development.
