@Muttonhawk@Antarctic Termite@BBeast also also also, I mentioned this to Termite already, but with regards to Thacel, @Malchivo's demigod of war, his last post has him headed for Rukbany and I somewhat want that to happen, given the warkriegs that will likely be taking off there. I messaged Malch about this a while back, but he's not been on in a loong time. Would one of you be willing to play Thacel in Rukbany? Or alternatively, is it ok if I takeover purely for Rukbany's purposes, and then release him to whoever would like him interacting with their characters/peoples/civilisations/god etc.
@Muttonhawk Hummm, pre-Xerxes is good by me, but pre-Realta would be somewhat problematic - that would mean that Gadar's ants were not around to witness her murder (and so he through them come to know of her) and eventually aid her escape the grave.
@Muttonhawk not sure if you mentioned this already, but when in the timeline did the Mafie episode take place? I'm guessing it was sometime post-Realta but pre-Xerxes? A considerable amount of time must have passed for her tale to become legendary by the time of Mira & co.
I'm not too fussed. I think I've exhausted anything I feel too strongly about and will be happy with whatever else is decided. Random map, wrongend map, no map; ocean to land or land to ocean; secret divine land or no secret divine land; I don't mind either way.
@Kho@Double Capybara
We've tried it both ways now between this and Mk. 1, and I have to say that in this iteration starting with all dry land was probably a mistake. It needn't be a 100% oceanic planet like in Mk. 1, but just having mostly oceans would go a long ways towards making a more natural-looking map if nothing else.


Yup, raising land out of oceans is a better idea than carving oceans into land I think. And that helped a lot with Mk.I when we decided that the initial landmass was too small/constraining and voila, created a giant, detailed landmass elsewhere.
I've recently discovered Glorantha, and the artwork is mindblowing.




This is the issue with having so much land available; it makes the map artificially huge and unless there is a concerted effort to concentrate a lot of civilizations in the same general area, you end up like in this RP where we're 20 pages in and there's still been very little meaningful contact between most of the big hubs of civilization.


Lack of contact between major civilisations is meant to be a negative? Human civilisation was a good 4,500 years in (very arbitrary, we could pick a higher number, but as a minimum) before there was any meaningful contact between China and Europe, even between India and China - and they literally share a border (impassable mountain of course). So long as civilisations somewhat local to each other interact ICly, however briefly, it's fine. Most official contact at this point should involve conquest anyway.

EdIt: lack of contact has nothing to do with 'we're 30 pages in an no contact!' it's just a matter of most civilisations not being at a point in development where external civs don't interest them. Only the Mesathalassa civs have had meaningful interactions that don't involve just war. The rest (Alefpria, dwarves, Xerxes, reborn-mermaid-people-forgot-their-names) just haven't. In the case of Eskandars and Dawn's Arcon civ, there's been no interaction AT ALL. Other than being pelted with ants by Jvan.
BUT ALL THE SHEEP were IN HELL! To Bioll though, this was more like heaven - not for those sheep though, not for those sheep.

Meanwhile, on Earth, the great goddess Gaia arose and expressed much sorrow and anger at the trespasses of Bioll and declared that she shall destroy mankind...

Jane did not appreciate being killed by a crazy little boy with delusions of screwing extinct animals. She got right up and smacked him silly. 'Cause that's what all spoilt little brats deserve amahright?
