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

@Rtron Just so you know, there is Cimex land between New Garakai and Erstakh

Temporary map:

@Kho

Yes, the Cimex seem to be everywhere. Fortunately the Ruhig are about to start a plot to get rid of them, potentially with the support of Ialu and his Zealots.Since the Cimex grabbed so much land and torture/kill anything that tresspasses, one has to imagine that New Garakai and the Horse People aren't going to be happy with the bugs.

Actually, when they smell blood in the water the Horse People will probably attack along with the Ruhigs in hopes of capturing some Cimex and getting to loot a few hives.

This is where any creation of yours that isn't directly related to your God will go. Environment descriptions, nations that made themselves, etc etc. Of course, these things can be manipulated by any God with little fear of repercussion, so you don't have to warn their creator(unless it's a part of the environment/nation that specifically worships their God/Demigod) but the 'cannot convert/destroy/take all of them' rule still applies.

@Rtron

@Rtron So would I put the Aerodu tribe that lives high up in the mountains that Eroneus converted in there? and if so, should I PM you the description.

@Cyclone

Kinda had no choice, the original borders were, hard to maneuver around. At least wait till the second 80 years are over, then the Ruigh Kingdom can attempt to attack the Communists.

New map.

It makes little sense for them to wait that long and let the Cimex colonies just grow more powerful, but fine. They will handle internal issues and stuff, while making preparations for their attack.

Edit: Wait, do the Cimex touch Ruhig land? It's really hard to look at the map on my phone.

They do, I just want to get settled with the time skip before I jump into a war.

[Frettzo]

You guys do know the land your people have taken is too big, right? If anything, a viable kingdom would have all settlements more or less close to each other, for ease of trade and stuff. With the current human population, most human societies would only have territory as big as mere hundreds of square kilometers. I see kingdoms with thousands. So are traders expected to take unkempt, dangerous roads from a huge city to a small village of 20 and expect to make profit? I don't think so. That eliminates internal trade, which in turn eliminates news traveling from place to place, and in turn eliminates technological and magical advances from going beyond the town in which such advancement was made.

The only ones capable of expanding as much as they have are the dragons (because of the speed at which they travel) and the Cimex (because of their numbers and absolute industriousness).

To become a truly defensible (human) kingdom, you need towns, and towns house quite a few thousand people. And let's assume a town has a easily defensible radius of 150 kilometers. You could have two towns and a dozen small villages and you still wouldn't have a quarter of a continent as your kingdom's land. Sure, you could claim the land, but you wouldn't be able to defend it.

Believe it or not, sending a medieval army a thousand miles away from their supply point hoping to defend against an army is just going to end up with half of their numbers being supply wagons (filled with food needed by the people back home, who'll starve without it). Enough to say that's not viable when you'll be fighting hordes of vicious Cimex.

But that's just my take on it. Kuro himself has about 1.000 people in his settlement, and he can't even call it a town yet cause he has no walls and no numbers.

[Kho]

@Frettzo I've mentioned in my WIP post that most land that was occupied is pretty empty. The majority of the living population is centred around Sviebard and the noth-eastern coast of Orabakh. Dunno about the other realms.

As for the gorilla people, that territory is mostly their hunting grounds. Their population is significant but centred mostly in the middle. They've already dealt with Cimex incursions and have proved themselves equally territorial (in the WIP)
Their territory is obviously large, but smaller than the rest >.>
Also, populations will grow over these 80 years and villages pop up. Human populations aren't going to stay stagnant and those territories are subject to change depending on what actually goes down ICly

The map is subject to change depending on IC. That one is temporary for a reason

[ActRaiserTheReturned]

Also, Brightwoods is exactly 500 miles around. . .slightly larger since it's not just a forest.

@Kho

Well then that therritory that's empty should not be counted as their territory. It's not occupied by them, after all. Anyone could come and take it and they'd be in no shape to fight it. Besides, human population's only gone up by little over double in the 80 years, according to the 300% increase you said we'd see by the end of the 160 years timeskip.

Another thing, I really doubt someone will travel 700 miles to hunt dinner xD

How about 400% then?

@Frettzo

Eh, I think huge, intelligent gorilla people, numbering anything from 20-40,000 are well able to protect their forest home.
XDDD and no, don't think they'll be travelling 700 miles for dinner. I doubt Russians travel all over Siberia or Brazilians all the way through the Amazon forest on a whim xPPP
As for the Dead Realm, it's not really important if someone comes along and occupies empty land, an undead horde will eventually come along and clear them out one way or another.

As for the percentage increase in populations *shrug* that's all stuff that's decided IC. If someone states, ICly, that their population went from 1000 to 10,000 in those eighty years, then I'm not going to object. The 300% was just a base minimum, and it continues to be a base minimum, in case no one bothered to mention population increases. Plus, it would make no sense if there was a 300% population increase if, say, World War Death broke out.

In my own WIP post, I've been very specific about populations. If someone else isn't so specific, they'll get the default 300%, depending on wars, plagues etc.

This whole thing reminds me of Massacre At Hardhome.

@Frettzo

If they're hunting herd animals they could very well travel that far to follow them throughout the season.

Orabahk is prohibitively large so there would be no interaction between us if we did as you said. Normally I'm all for realism, but with such small populations and such massive percentages of soldiers to normal peasants, magic, unrealistically small populations and weird technology levels, I threw out all ideas of realism early on in this RP. All realism is already out the window so complaining about how everybody but the Cimex (Them being exempt for arbitrary reasons?) have claimed too much land is just going to be annoying.

As in for the Ruhigs, their territory is huge (smaller than it appears due to the form of map projection) but most of it is just their forest that they consider their land. Most of it is of course just a jungle of trees and the occasional small village.

Is anyone listening to Sauranath's messages?

Is it really so temporary and so subject to change that I can't even ask if the Cimex share a border?

[Rtron]

But that's just my take on it. Kuro himself has about 1.000 people in his settlement, and he can't even call it a town yet cause he has no walls and no numbers.

@Frettzo

New Garakai is shared by Corrupted Uri, Garakains, Corrupted Cimex, Iron Legion (though, admittedly they make up a small portion of the population), Corrupted Snake Men, Corrupted Brightwoods guys(primarily dragon adepts), Corrupted Chimeras, and Chaos dragons.

Viscardi kinda has to expand.

Sort of, kind of I think people are thinking about stuff...
