Oh yeah, I'd still be down for it.

From Sleep Awake

I got my culture done as well. The section's probably finished; it should be enough at least.

From Sleep Awake

Well that sucks, but good luck in whatever y'all decide to do next.

Hmmm, hey @DeadBeatWalking I was wondering what exactly constitutes 'self-sufficient' in regards to the NS. Like, they just can't have literally everything or without trade they couldn't fulfill the basic needs of their people?

From Sleep Awake

@DeadBeatWalking@TheSovereignGraveI mean, I was maybe toying with the idea of going a mediterranean route initially and using the ancient greeks as a model for some of my nation, who had legitimate military academies. I changed my mind before I read that bit, but I didn't know my initial idea would have been outlandish or odd, say.

@POOHEAD189

Gonna be perfectly honest here, my original comment about outlandishness was just a joke. I actually agree that it's not that odd.

EDIT: Plus I have about as much actual authority as anyone else.

From Sleep Awake

@POOHEAD189 A bit of both? Seeing as none of the countries are self-sufficient, I doubt they would have enough available resources to send young men away to learn tactics/ninja skillz/double sword bullshit. I'd prefer armies have interesting details about stuff they're willing or not willing to do, or perhaps a geographic strength or prevalence of a kind of formation or weapon than a division of "special" soldiers.

@DeadBeatWalking

Well they could still theoretically have a war college, even if it's just the nobility who can join (since they're the only ones with the time and money to). And speaking of military, I finished up with my military section and I was wondering how it is.

I'm confused by this. Do you mean you're against marty sues or is military college a bad thing

@POOHEAD189

I think it's just a tad outlandish that any warriors would actually hold a degree.

From Sleep Awake

I should get my sheet complete this week too; weekends can just get a tad busy for me.

From Sleep Awake

@DeadBeatWalking Is there a chance I can claim that small island chain at the bottom right of the map?

@MonkeyBusiness

Sorry, I've kinda claimed that for my nation. The map just hasn't been updated yet.

From Sleep Awake

@TheSovereignGraveI'll lay claim to it then; probably not going to use all of it, but most of the north and east coast.
Out of curiosity, how did you envision the people & climate before you moved?

@Aristo

Honestly, I'm not quite sure. The big reason I moved was because I realized it didn't really match up with what I was really going for and I hadn't really settled on what I'd planned it all to be.
