[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay (Rebooted)

[Rtron]

I'm considering doing a good 100 year timeskip after the next battle is over. We need the human pop on Arguilla to grow and I think we all need some nice empire-building, species development posts.

@Kho

I don't think there's gonna be a Garakai left after this...

Oh well. Time to add that other race(s) I've been planning.

[Kho]

I've added a list of necromantic creatures to my characters thread post. Not all of them are currently in existence, obviously, but they will probably come along eventually. Some sooner than others.

And @Rtron it will exist...kinda...under Ialu's tyrannical rule xD

[Vec]

@Kho 100 years. Holy shiet. My guy shall be the slowest evolving demigod in the game T.T Lvl 1 for 100 years xP

[Lugubrious]

100 years, eh? That's a lot of time for Escre to do fun stuff.

[Kho]

@Kho 100 years. Holy shiet. My guy shall be the slowest evolving demigod in the game T.T Lvl 1 for 100 years xP

@Vec

xDD do not fear, the new turn will be here! Plus, 100 years really isn't all that much in divine terms. Vowzra will probably be just having fun in the fabric of existence during all that time xp

[LokiLeo789]

That's a lot of time to for Arguis to spend time write books.

[Kho]

@LokiLeo789 He was actually going to get a curious visitor eager to learn >.>

@Kho

I have to wonder what Ialu would even be doing for all of a century. It seems really long and I imagine his little kingdom would have either crumbled or conquered everything, since he has enemies and all. You're aware that Sauranth made 7,000 new humans and put them in Orabahk, right?

[Scarifar]

Perhaps a new volcano (or three) will come up somewhere. All of which include personal forges for yours truly. And business will be booming. Hopefully.

@Cyclone

Well, I can see him conquering the rest of the Realms of Man, sure, there's no one there. But conquering the Cimex, who number in the tens of thousands and are crazy strong, and the Uri, with all their new buffs? Don't think it'll be that simple man, especially not with a human pop of 4500 (or whatever it'll be after this next battle)

As I said, empire-building, and species evolution will take place. It'll be interesting to just see what happen to Ialu's kingdom. Will it grow and prosper? Will it fall apart despite his strong rule? Will it wage endless war against Cimex and Uri (or be warred against?) Will it be conquered? 100 years is a boon for any player, methinks, it gives us time to develop lore and create the very setting which we will then continue RPing in until the next timeskip or whatnot. It's an important part of god RPs, and actually one of the attractive things about it. I've already got quite a few ideas for what'll be happening on Sviebard for the next hundred years (and no, it's not just Thulemiz conquering everything and unleashing death upon the world) xD

Oh, and need to do a quick recap of all populations

[Kho]

Galbar populations (guesstimation):

Humans: 17,500 (4,500 on Arguilla, 7,000 on Orabakh, 6,000 on Sviebard)
Uri: 5800 (5,800 on Arguilla, 0 on Orabakh, 0 on Sviebard)
Cimex: 19,300 (19,300 on Arguilla, 0 on Orabakh, 0 on Sviebard)
Dragons: ???? (???? on Arguilla, ???? on Orabakh, ???? on Sviebard)

[Kho]

@ActRaiserTheReturned Can you give us a count of dragon populations?

[LokiLeo789]

@Kho

Visitors yaya, come and learn about everything and anything!

[ActRaiserTheReturned]

@ActRaiserTheReturned Can you give us a count of dragon populations?

@Kho

Uh, let's see, well, I analyze this like so:
There are many Star Eggs up there, dragon fertility has grown from Sauranath's blessing, and dragons are so powerful, since it took so much Might to create them, took them many years to incubate, and they grow more powerful with age on top of all that, people with sticks, stones, iron, bronze, etcetera cannot keep up with their population even though they still reproduce somewhat slower than Humans. So. . . it's very hard to tell. . . dragons have a much larger home to travel on now that Orabakh is there as a whole new continent. Technically there are tens of thousands, maybe a few hundred thousands of dragons on the world of Orabil, as they call it, but with all the eggs up there, and the dragons going back and forth between the stars and Orabakh, there may be more than the entire world will have in hundreds of years, but that doesn't mean there are cities of dragons. Erstakh possibly has around ten thousand, more than it had initially, but it took 6 Might to create, so it attracts dragons from all over the world. Buuuut. Dragons rarely live in groups more than twenty, and if they are in a very large Dragon Brood, they might exist as a stark ravingly enormous Brood Clan with no more than one thousand dragons.

[Kho]

Aight, thanks for that.

Galbar populations (guesstimation):

Humans: 17,500 (4,500 on Arguilla, 7,000 on Orabakh, 6,000 on Sviebard)
Uri: 5800 (5,800 on Arguilla, 0 on Orabakh, 0 on Sviebard)
Cimex: 19,300 (19,300 on Arguilla, 0 on Orabakh, 0 on Sviebard)
Dragons: 130,000 (1,500 on Arguilla, 125,000 on Orabakh, 3,500 on Sviebard)

[Vec]

Aight, thanks for that.

@Kho

Mehopes that Uri number grows through the 100 years. How much does a blessing for increased population, actually increase the population of the race/people that were blessed? x2?

[Kho]

@Vec Cimex and Uri populations are going to increase much faster than Human and dragons pops.

Cimex will probably grow by a good 500%
Uri will probably grow by 400/450%
Humans will likely grow by 300/350%
Dragons will probably grow by 25/30% (not because they don't breed, but because there are already so many and they grow slower anyway. And there's millions of them in the stars anyway, so not like they'll be dying off anytime soon.)

This is all dependent on wars and whatnot, obviously

[ActRaiserTheReturned]

I would prefer that we recon the setting very gently for Humans, Cimex and others to have X10 their number. Dragons could destroy everything in their way with few casualties at this rate. One thousand dragons minimum, maybe two thousand maximum. Without Heroes to stand in a dragon's way, it could take five groups of twenty adult dragons to wipe out a whole large settlement. Easily. Dragons aren't just overgrown lizards.

[Kho]

@ActRaiserTheReturned Of course, but I kinda got the impression that dragons have all of Orabakh and aren't really all that bothered with messing with the other races. Plus, you said that dragons don't hunt in groups, preferring to stay alone. So even though there are many of them, they're not going to be uniting and forming one dragon nation with a cool dragon army to conquer the world any time soon. If they do though...

*dragon soul harvesting bonanza*

@Kho

Note that I said "or crumble", I'm not trying to just find an excuse to take over Arguilla. The thing is that Ialu obviously wouldn't just sit around this whole time but I have no clue what to do with a timeskip that long. Am I supposed to say that he found his inner tranquility and peace has reigned? That's he's spent an entire century plotting? That he's fought a war for this long? Those all sound unlikely and rather bland.

So what would he even do if we go ahead with a giant skip? I'm open to any suggestions you have. Keep in mind that 100 years actually IS a really long time for most characters, considering Ialu is the oldest demigod and I'd put his age at around 35 right now. Perhaps it's just a lack of creativity on my part but I see a timeskip of that long doing more harm than good to any storyline that we're trying to make.
