“Well, if both you and Tsucchi are telling me the same thing then it’s not like I can just ignore it,” you say. “I’ll see if I can’t step in and calm things down somewhat. That’s not to say I don’t trust everybody – but I don’t want things to get out of hand.”

Undine nods at you, giving a smile before turning inquisitive. “Really, Tsucchi said the same thing?”

You worry that you may be creating a new faction with your words so instead decide to join Undine in the pool. Your plan for a simple massage is hijacked almost immediately by an excited water elemental who takes you for a morning ride. You feel that you can came out on top, however, as you leave the hot spring while Undine floats about on the water. Your Champion is in no condition to walk around right now.

You wish you had been in the same boat as her once you walk into the lunch dining room. Finn and Rayza had gotten here early and your squire was in another world while Rayza… tended to him. You…

Do you mean by loudly proclaiming that our squire is getting pleasured in the room beyond and thus in our magnanimity we have decided to give him his privacy and have lunch out here in the hallway such is our care for our young ward and his budding romance. To each and every person that approaches the door?

>>34180248
Wouldn't you do the same if you were in Talon's shoes?

>>34180248
Of course not, that would be silly. We have servants to do that FOR us while we go enjoy lunch in another room.

>>34180259

You gather up the servants responsible for serving lunch and ensure they know that everybody must be redirected another dining room. You don’t tell them why, but you know that they’ll investigate and tell everybody else. You also don’t stick around, instead making a beeline for the actual dining room and digging into the roast chicken once the servants deliver it. You ignore the questions as to why everybody has to eat here, focusing on the food and talking about your plans instead.

Eventually both Finn and Rayza enter, your squire looking like he’ll die from embarrassment and the dragon like she’ll explode from an overload of smug. Nobody misses it, particular not when you’re actively watching for reactions. Oddly enough, only Lynn and Sarah give one – Lynn is clearly aggravated by Rayza and Sarah is mostly annoyed at the fact the pair were clearly making use of the other room. She probably squeezed the info out of the servants, too.

“Ready to recharge for the afternoon, Finn?” you ask your squire as he takes a seat next to you with a very full plate.

“He certainly is, Imperator,” Rayza answers for him and you know why his plate is full. Not that you’ll say anything – your squire tends to eat far too little for how much power his body consumes – if Rayza can use sex as an excuse to get your squire to eat enough food to sustain himself then it’s all the better. After lunch you…

“Given your relationship with Caitlyn has reached an almost absurd level of toxicity, I’m afraid I’m going to need to ask you what you’ve been doing to aggravate her,” you ask Rayza after keeping her behind as everybody else left.

The dragon shrugs, sitting demurely in a seat next to you. Rayza’s subservience and demure behaviour around you was a problem in and of itself – every time you went to talk to her she acted like an obedient servant, throwing you completely. You were also completely certain she didn’t even realise she was doing that to you.

“Other than rubbing Finn in her face, not much,” she says.

“Rubbing Finn in her face?”

“Caitlyn really doesn’t like the fact that Tarfinn is sleeping with me, so I always make it clear when I’ve had sex with him recently. At least when she’s around,” Rayza says.

“Could you cut it out for now,” you say with a sigh. “I have worse things to worry about than you needlessly angering my grandmaster.”

“Okay,” Rayza says with a nod, garnering a look of surprise from yourself. “What? I’m under your protection. It’s not like I’m going to anger you without good reason. What’s the occasion anyway? Birthday?”

“Not yet,” you say. “I’m just dealing with internal difficulties.”

“Ooh, the haremettes are sniping at each other?” she says with a grin. “No offense but I am so very glad I didn’t join them. Finn’s great fun and no trouble. Not that I’d say no if you wanted to take me for a ride or two… maybe with Finn?”

“Not now,” you say dryly. “Any other problems?”

Rayza shrugs. “I’m bored stiff. Until I know I’m actually serving you or what it’s not like I can just freely show off my abilities.”

You blink at that. You hadn’t thought of the fact that Rayza was technically still serving Alyce right now. You…

“So that I can fight for truth, justice and the Yorkian way?” Rayza answers with a smile, placing her feet on top of the table in front of her. “No?”

“Not really buying it, no,” you say. “What is the ‘Yorkian way’?”

“Sleep with lots of women, conquer kingdoms, raise elf squires?” Rayza says, continuing with her joking.

“I don’t that’s something that can be easily replicated.”

“All the more reason for others to follow it. I wouldn’t mind doing so myself… well, not so much the ‘lots of women’ part. I’m pretty happy with Finn… and yourself.”

“Keep trying, Rayza. Maybe you’ll get there one day,” you say dryly. “Now, an actual answer?”

She shrugs. “I’m bored. You’re impressive in quite a few ways. And, to be blunt, I’m not all that certain that Alyce is going to pull the rabbit out of her hat and enable me to continue to serve. A new frontier would be nice.”

“That’s it?” you ask, surprised at the bluntness.

“Do you want me to pretend to care about my race? Talk about how you’ll help me rebuild it? That’s a dumb goal and one that will just get me killed,” she says, screwing up her face. “I’ve done well to stay under the radar so far. Right now the best thing I can do is find a big, steely body to hide behind so that no dragon-slayers can get me. You’re the best candidate and I’m happy to offer my services in return. Sorry if self-interest isn’t enough.”

You hold back on any comments about her motivations – it’s not like your own are all that pure. “What would you offer?”

“Swordsmanship lessons? Kickass battle skills? Good sex? A happy squire? Little dragon cubs, if that’s your thing?” Rayza says. “I’m reaching now. I stab things and blow them up with magic. You seem to need as much of that as you can get. Everything else is just what I can offer on the side if you want a little more of me.”

Snorting lightly as the not-so-subtle ways Rayza makes it clear she wants you more than earlier indicated, you consider her offer. You’re not about to accept or refuse – she’s a bit of a landmine and you want to talk to Alyce – but she seems genuine, if shallow. You refuse her offer of ‘a bounce or two’ and work out what to do with your afternoon.

Figuring you won’t have a better time you decide to chase up Vad over the mystery identity of ‘Noah’, the fox he’d insisted to be the ambassador of the Seven-Leaf clan. Catching him after some practice with some garrison troops, you take him aside to one of the rooms and get a rather simplistic answer.

“She’s my sister. I figured this was the best chance to get her here,” he says, shrugging. “I thought somebody already would have mentioned that to you. I mean, you spend so much time with Tsucchi and… oh, wait, Taira wouldn’t know her. She’s only in her seventies, after all.”

You try to ignore the way that Vad says his sister is ‘only seventy’ like it implies youth. Damned foxes.

“I don’t think there’s anything special about her – she was always pretty good with her tails, like me, but actively avoided enforcer duty so, uh, I guess she’s a pretty good fit for ambassador,” Vad says, rubbing the back of his head. “Not to change the topic but what do you do with Tsucchi? I mean, you’re not sleeping with her, right? Ren would be so pissed if that was happening.”

“I’m not sleeping with her, no,” you say, but Vad gives you an odd look and a sly nod. You suspect he’s focusing on the wrong word in that sentence.

“What about Taira?” he asks, probing.

Lynn holds an interest in Finn, but can't have him. Rayza brags to Lynn about sleeping with Rayza.

“This really shouldn’t come as a surprise, but yeah,” you say, giving Vad a flat grimace and nod. “At the very least, she caved first.”

Vad returns the grimace/nod, oddly enough. “Yeah, I know the feeling. I’m impressed that she caved first, though – it took me years to get her willing to beg for it. You’ve got so much more practice though.”

Somehow the conversation morphs into a conversation on how to make the woman really want it – which is really just you giving Vad tips on how to make Nate a very happy woman. You sincerely hope that your Lt General appreciates your advice for Vad – not that you want to know the results.

“So, you’re taking the contraceptive brew, right?” comes a very strange question from Vad.

“Obviously. Otherwise the keep would be overrun with mini-Talons,” you say.

“True. It’s just that word’s getting around that you’ve slept with half the foxes in the castle and, uh, that’s quite a bit now,” he says, grinning stupidly. “Bloody amazing, though.”

You stare. “You realise that Taira is literally the only mystic fox I’ve done anything more than stroke the tails of, right?”

“Bullshit.”

“No, truth. I’ve stroked a lot of tails but haven’t gone any further.”

“That’s… damn. If they’re talking about you like that maybe I should get Nate to get some lessons.”

“I refuse to teach your girlfriend how to stroke your tails better.”

“It’s not like you’d be demonstrating on me.”

“The image is still disturbing.”

“Think of it as taking one for the team. Show Karise how it’s done, too – Sarnn will appreciate it.”

You hurriedly shoo Vad away, not wanting to carry this increasingly awkward conversation any further. After all, you have an appointment with a few foxes whose tails need stroking.

>>34181256

Damnit Talon, stop being so awkward and homophobic.

Looking forward to teh Finn thread. That will be pretty cool, I knowit.

I"m just going to mention something I was thinking about last night before I passed out cold. If we are going to try and get the helldragon and Alyce to work something out I'm hoping we have a small POP arc beforehand.

One of the major risks here is both of them getting into it and ruining the chance. But if we could get Talon in god mode and invite them in the keep. The odds of them fighting drop because now the moment it happens Talon can actually help one side or the other. Which should help with the negotiation odds.

A big advantage of God powers is once we activate it we can have our diplomatic meetings in Harrowmont.

That and it won't be too long till Ren has to visit Harrowmont for the fortress. So activating it before the meeting may help because knowing about it wouldn't be something useful.

>>34181743
>get told we're being too arrogant and prideful with our negotiations
>I know let's make ourselves gods surely that will fix it

>>34181798
Asking Talon to tone down the arrogance and pride is like asking a avalanche to not crush you while it's going 150 miles an hour at your face. Personally I kind of view it like this.

In the end as arrogant as Talon is he has never really insulted anyone and is pretty reasonable in the end. Honestly the bigger issue with Ren is both are Domineering personalities that each want what each wants.

Talon wants to be in utter control in the end but doesn't care how powerful others get as long as he is. Ren wants independence to defend his foxes and to retain personal power. In the end I don't think there is too many issues as long as a brawl doesn't start.

What Tsucchi I think doesn't realize is that as soft as Talon is on his people he is that way because in the end he realizes all it takes is him telling them to knock it off if it goes too far for him. He doesn't want it to go that far so He'll help if he sees a problem but his personal range of issues is higher then normal people.

Ren on the other hand he has no idea about so he is going to strain against for a bit till they get a good idea of what each others buttons are. Once that happens they should get along. Once they reach an accord on each others relative powers things should go smoother.

>>34182169
Honestly, the best way to deal with Ren is time, and convincing him that we can work together. Personally, I want to good cop/bad cop the rest of the clan leaders. We're the good cop obviously. Personally, I think the easiest to deal with will be Lion Clan. After all, all we have to do is convince the novice politician to lean on someone else, like Taira. She's pretty well positioned to mentor him

>>34182440
Pretty much yeah. A lot of their issues if you ask me will be solved pretty fast. Mainly because in the end they do want the same things. The key thing is to do like we have so far and not insult the guy and help his foxes where we can.

The other Alliance leaders while useful aren't something that is really totally on my mind. Ren has a pretty good handle on the internal politics so if we can get him we can get most of the others.

We will want to get to know them to keep a internal fracture from happening though once they realize that we can defend them as well.

>The Order of the Leaf wasn’t in such great shape. Knights were commonplace but rangers not so much. Most of your best archers still needed training, even Moss. Raw talent meant that Moss could outshoot almost everybody save Finn if magic wasn’t involved but until he and his archers learnt some of the additional talents that Hartmann could offer. And Trielle, who had been kind enough to take up the position of Master to teach the others despite being pregnant.

I had to scour the archives because the name seemed familiar. Way back in thread IV someone proposed it.

>Order of the Leaf:

>Ranger errant
>Pathfinder

I'm cool with the names personally but I'd motion to change the name to something slightly less silly. Talon is making a reputation out of us artillery superiority despite his lack of mages. I'd think the first Ranger Order should reflect him as much as it does the men running it. Personally I'd say The Order of the White/Golden Arrow referencing the astral shots Talon makes.

I hope Aspirational has the time to detail the amount of members we have for the Order, as well as the Royal Order. It doesn't seem like something we need for the Black Stone or Golden Bears, but our directly controlled ones I think it would be a nice little bit of information to have.

>>34183836
Honestly to me a name is just a name. We could call it "Talons bro archer dudes." for all I really care. Just so long as their effective.

>>34183836
It should be Commandant, not Commandment. Did not realize I fucked that one up so long ago. As for the name, eh.

Although I never got to bring this up due to passing out last night. But we did meet face to face with Ren. So does he know we have Astral now?

I'm pretty sure Tsucchi mentioned she would keep the undead water elemental and his Astral power a secret.

I think Rayza is overestimating the opposition to rebuilding the Dragon race. Or more accurately, she's underestimating the overlap between those who would oppose us helping dragons and the number who will oppose us regardless. Basically, the people who will be angry at the possibility of dragon's showing up consists of the following:
1. People who oppose the formation of strong powers who might reduce their slice of the pie. (Who will probably oppose us anyway)
2. People who dislike nonhumans in general. (Foxes say hi)
3. People who hate dragons specifically.

Not saying that we should announce a Draconic Arch-duchy tomorrow or anything, but molding Rayza into a potential clan leader type should be considered.

>>34185380
I wouldn't try. Last time the dragons gathered shit collapsed. At the moment they're not really on the radar as something to think about long term. The helldragons or felldragons on the other hand are much more interesting. If limited.

>>34185480
dragons are eventually going to show up anyway because of our racial policies, at least in small nukbers. Best have a leader chose lest we get someone more troublesome

>>34186097
Not many and most will hide anyway. Getting a leader just leads to them flocking inwards and pissing everybody off. I'd just play them off as citizens.

Maybe once we have most of the world we'll find a true use for them. As they are now though their not worth it. Too scattered and too weak. Most will want their own empire at that so it'll be hard to make it worth it.

>>34186325

For that very reason I'm glad Aspir held off on the dragon plot when we got Gnome and Sala instead.

It would have been messy. Messier then things are now.

>>34186325
>>34186564
Honestly, the people who will be angry about dragons at a group of people who will be angry with us for a bunch of reasons anyway. Lay in the groundwork is probably a good idea, though we shouldn't do anything public until post mage guard

>>34185380
>People who dislike nonhumans in general. (Foxes say hi)
don't forget the vampires

>Not saying that we should announce a Draconic Arch-duchy tomorrow or anything, but molding Rayza into a potential clan leader type should be considered.
But her interests don't lie that way. her dad wanted to do this and she ran away from home to have fun instead.
She says she doesn't care about her race in general and has no such high aspirations.
She likes fighting because its fun, she is bored, she wants fun.

Also, there is the whole issue with what Sylvian said, that such an act will attract weak, inexperienced, young dragons who would be easy to kill all together

Also, ideally they wont have a "racial" leader but instead fully integrated into our empire. as in "I am a proud darlessian of TYE, sure I am a dragon, by I am a patriot of TYE first".

The reason we are dealing with the foxes within the confines of their clans is that this already exists and that the last time someone tried to just "conquer" all the foxes in such a way they emigrated to another continent and started fighting them. So I would rather have them as close allies rather then subjects if they are this averse to being subjects, and maybe recruit as subjects those who are willing to become that.

Speaking of, I bet there are secret dragon clans out there.

>>34186801
Dragons are pretty useless though. Too young and too spread out and given the last time they ruled not really something I would trust.

They don't have the Astral power the foxes have or their numbers and they lack the rapid reproducibility of the vampires. All in all while they do have some interesting tricks it's not something I would really bother to plan for until much later. Planning now just means when things change we'll have to redesign.

>>34188058
>The reason we are dealing with the foxes within the confines of their clans

A tad more complex then that. That's their social grouping so it makes sense to go for them like that. That and in the end the clans are pretty much just like nobility or whatever. They can work independently but in the end we want them to have court here.

Dragons on the other hand are broken and scattered. So there really isn't a defined group we can deal with that can be used to draw them in.

>>34186097
>dragons are eventually going to show up anyway because of our racial policies, at least in small nukbers. Best have a leader chose lest we get someone more troublesome
We already do, her name is Caitlynn
She is very strong, somewhat unique, she is the grandmaster of our knightly order, we are getting her trained as a general...

>>34188220
That's a felldragon my friend. That and she's a grandmaster not really something we want to be a leader of a bunch of dragons taking up her time.

I think dragons and feldragons tend to have an instinctive dislike of each other.

You do realize that they are more powerful than astral adapts

>>34188424
Actually speaking of felldragons. Where the hell is the second Helldragon at?

We know where the felldragons are mostly. Lairos is wondering all over the place according to Lynn and the Felldragon king is always in one place that Lynn knows.

The helldragon of the mage guard is typically there. But where the hell is the 2nd helldragon?

>>34188185
>Dragons on the other hand are broken and scattered. So there really isn't a defined group we can deal with that can be used to draw them in.
Exactly, which is a good thing as it means that instead of toxic clan politics those that do come over will become normal TYE citizens. Why would we want to draw them in and form a special "dragon only clan" to negotiate with and have political subterfuge in? It is far better for us for them to just deal with us directly on the individual level. (think of a clan as a worker's union and yourself as walmart. now bust that union)

also, with talon's reputation they are going to come in on their own. Everyone saw the fight between rayza and caitlynn, then they saw him appoint lynn as grandmaster and place rayza under his protection after it came out that they were dragons. Add to that how he dealt with the vampires and the foxes and he has a very solid reputation there that will draw in a lot of those weak young dragons. Besides which, the more of the continent we conquer, the more of them will be in our borders anyways even without relocation.

Forming them into clans with extra authority is some weird show of favoritism that we don't need and doesn't help us.

Besides which, there is no particular benefit for us to intentionally draw them in like that. They are few in numbers, most of them have 0 formal education in their racial magics beyond being self taught, and paint a big target on their friends and allies.

We are better off letting them move in individually at their own pace and become regular citizens who go about their regular daily lives. At which point the fact that we are such a safe haven for young weak dragons becomes a point in our favor when dealing with the ancient and truly powerful dragons. Aka, wardragon, font of eternity, and the helldragon... and some not quite as ancient but still old and powerful dragons about.

>>34188424
helldragon and feldragons are still dragons

>>34188427
>astral adapts

Decently old ones are vs an average Astral Adapt. There is more Astral Adapts then dragons. We going to get a bunch of young ones as well. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to get them on our side but right now they're too scattered to matter. If we want them which we do it should be after we have a good chunk of land.

Yeah that's fine with me. We need to get bigger and stronger though. Got to remember the last time dragons got together they pretty much created a massive empire that pissed off half the world. So their a lot more politically dangerous than foxes and in a way even vampires. There is going to be a lot of paranoia about this.

>>34188607
He has in character knowledge. Talons thought "she's blatantly lying" several times during our conversation with her post tournament

>>34188662

I'd wait till we are a bit bigger then just the two separatist states and the mage guard. Maybe a chunk or two the RSK.

It would be easier to do if we had a ancient dragon on our side advising here. We don't really know much about the dragons or how they work so it's harder to make guesses.

>Shrugging in response, Fuurin says, “A bit of both. The Imperial Court is a shadow of what it once was – Pharos may still retain all of its old structures, with an emperor that ostensibly rules the continent and individual rulers of the nations within it, but the Shadow Empress has blatantly usurped all power.

I wonder if this means that she is a sorceress who specializes in shadow magic, or if she is a "power behind the throne" puppetmaster.

Working on making a to scale map of Harrowmont. Some of the walls got flattened out because of the scale of things but I think I can mass with it a bit to make it look more like the original.

I'd suggest pic related. Let the Residential District wrap around the Cliff Face a little, shorten the area that the Inner Wall can be compromised and effectively cut the Inner Courtyard in half. Also please excuse the poorly drawn Keep.

Added walls at 10m as well for frame of reference.

Since you're here I've been wondering something. We know FR points are IC. So is it possible to use them while using the Godmode powers from a POP?

I like that. It does leave a pretty big blind spot in the residential area, though. Unless you're advocating the wall still run out along the cliff face but with nothing behind it.

>>34191915
>Unless you're advocating the wall still run out along the cliff face but with nothing behind it.

Yeah that is why I purposely left it in. So while it's still a point enemies can attack they'll only have being repelled or going through the Inner Wall gauntlet to attempt to get over it. Makes that large stretch still relatively safe.

We'll also have the ability to dig into that section of the cliff face now as well. I'm going to get started on setting up the residential stuff, if the thread dies before I finish, I'll email it to you. Along with future expansions.

Yes. You can't be a pure fox if your Tails are too used up. Taira old and busted. Tsucchi isn't.

Merely being related to Vad makes a fox ruined for marriage.

I'd say part of it is that she's lost confidence in herself. We should probably encourage her to talk to Karise. Her read of talon will probably steer things in the right direction

>>34192149

Actually, Taira's continuously been using the equivalent of Iron Body technique to magically raise the tactile resistance of her tails for centuries now. At this point if she dropped the spell a light breeze would be enough to set her off.

Yeah, I took that to mean she wanted her independence rather than to be under someone's strict authority. So to me it's less about being in charge as it is having control of her own destiny. Of course, immediately afterwards she got her ass kicked, so she's probably trying to figure out how to gain a couple levels of badass before someone strong takes her out, and since Alyce can't help at the moment we're the better bet.

Probably too simple a reading but we haven't observed her much outside of the tournament and it's aftermath. Give it another few sessions and we'll figure it out rather than guessing at shadows.

First look at the expanded map into the Mage Guard. The Magi Line mountains are considered Archangel territory because they manage the Barrier of Marie. Each Balkarin province is about 4300 square miles compared to 2700 for those in Darlesia.

>Though I was hoping we could Double Dip and give someone a really bad day.
Nah, it's kind of like having Infinity + 1. Kinda sorta possible but pointless. With that said, there is one instance where your FR points are superior to domain powers - negotiations. You can't use your domain powers to actively influence somebody's thoughts etc but you could try using your FR points to do so (with all the negatives I mentioned last session).

Essentially, each new region would be composed of 3-4 super provinces centered on a city or Fortress. For example, the region of Shroopam would have the same number of Hexes as it does currently, but those hexes would compose three "provence" Devon, Fortun and Shroopam (Fortun would absorb Currustun, Aramagh and Sirrashire, Devon would get Trent, Sorruy, and Orkeny, Shroopam would get the rest). Each Provence would have 2-3 locations of interest, cutting down on slog while still providing interesting tactical options.

File: 016.jpg (454 KB, 1920x1200)

454 KB JPG

>>34193083
Doesn't this just boil down to having less notable locations in each hex? I mean, if there's going to be the same number of hexes but centered around one major location it mostly just becomes a matter of having less things present.

Plus, it seems that any way of presenting it would be extremely similar to what already exists (but with additional borders separating provinces). I'm not sure I'm seeing any benefit that I couldn't get just by having less places per hex.

>>34193376
>Plus, it seems that any way of presenting it would be extremely similar to what already exists (but with additional borders separating provinces). I'm not sure I'm seeing any benefit that I couldn't get just by having less places per hex.
The main advantage is that we seem to be seeing more nodal forces when it comes to defense, so players won't need to keep track of nearly as many pop and garison figures. Also, this will allow you to have less than one place per hex, which may help with scale (The continuously increasing province size is likely to run into problems eventually.) Oh, and you'll need to make up less province names, I have a feeling we're either going to run out, or they're going to be completely unpronounceable.

So, in the interest of discussion, what sort of terms do you guys see offering Farun and Companion once we've forced their surrender?

>>34193556
Replace the rulers we don't like with our own. Aid in any necessary reconstruction. Begin work on roads from their areas to Harrowmont and/or Vitria.

Cure that one prince for free if we're able. Just because it's a nice thing to do.

>>34193614
Sounds about right. I'd reccomend relatively generous terms, because we probably want Shroopam to feel that surrendering to us on terms will be better than getting destroyed by the mage guard.

>>34193507
I'd still need province names - having unnamed hexes is kind of annoying. Names are easy, too - I just grab a list of village/town/city names from the locality I'm using (Britain, Germany etc) and modify them.

>Also, this will allow you to have less than one place per hex, which may help with scale (The continuously increasing province size is likely to run into problems eventually.)
Eh, I'm not too worried about this. The territories bordering the Barrier are larger but most will be about the same size as Ahm and Shropham. I'm also pretty happy with the way people planned around Farun - people were treating it like one large battlefront so the slog is kind of nonexistent.

>The main advantage is that we seem to be seeing more nodal forces when it comes to defense, so players won't need to keep track of nearly as many pop and garison figures.
This is probably the only one I'm buying into but it would only help on a garrison level - the pop figures aren't a big deal given everything gets lumped into states anyway.

Then there's the presentation problem where I'm trying to have three to six hexes act as one hex (which is what it boils down to). I'm not convinced that the amount of effort involved in transitioning from the current format to this one has enough of a gain to make it worth it. Especially because I think the presentation of information would actually go backwards - I may as well just shift to the continental map as I initially planned in that case.

>>34193614
I'd probably try to sweeten the deal for them somehow, just to set a precedent. tell all our future conquests that we've got it on lock. 'this is how we treat our conquered enemies. think how much nicer you'll have it if you join up voluntarily when we don't have to fix all your shit.'

>>34193556
Nothing much. Leaving any rulers behind is dangerous. Though I kind of do want to offer to cure Philip but only if their willing to let him live in harrowmont. In that case I would trust them more.

Actually come to think of it that may be a good way to screw them over. If we could kidnap Philip and heal him then we could demand a surrender with a hostage.

The merchants we can just tell to surrender and offer the top 5 merchants bribes and shit to help out.

>>34193735
Random question: but do we have any estimate for how long Mal's pattern R&D will take?

>>34193812
Of course thinking on it we'll obviously let them keep cultural laws and the likes. No need to damage the place or remove any non necessary things.

At least that's my opinion anyway.

>>34193921
Honestly, I'm inclined to let the Farun Royalty keep their city if they surrender relatively quickly. it shows Magnanimity, and they honestly aren't much of a threat, especially if we don't install a factory there.

Though I'm surprised people aren't reacting much to a disease that literally eats magic. That or the risk that Philip will die in the war and thus leave a very pissed off family.

>>34194081
That defeats the purpose of the invasion though. If we are just going to do the same thing as if we did it normally. That and being royals will will want them gone anyway.

Although I would be willing to give them the city if they gave a few things up. In the end we shouldn't be too hard or soft here.

>That and being royals will will want them gone anyway.
What?

>>34194202

The problem there is that reads as "Yeah I could have saved all the lives and property damage done here but I didn't want to bicker with some nobles. Here have a city"

>>34194347
>"Yeah I could have saved all the lives and property damage done here but I didn't want to bicker with some nobles.
That is a pretty accurate description of the Anon's thought process though. I voted for cutting a deal with Farun.

Red is roads, 15m, pretty standard for modern installations, so I went with what I knew.
Light Blue is the buffer zone between the walls and infrastructure. At present they are 60m, I might lower them, we can assume during peacetime they are used for general roads.
Yellow is alleyways, 5m-8m depending upon the location. Not sure if I'll keep them or not.
Green is Infrastructure lines. I'm not sure how I feel about those either, might just be best to assume they are right up against the roads as is.

Either way I'm happy with how the Residential District turned out, runs with the upward slope, though the placement of the Gatehouses messed me up a bit, the small sections are relatively even throughout. I'll probably find the average sizes and work them out to more precision measurements. The fact the walls curve messes up finding area as is so we can handwave and skew the math a bit.

The Merchant District I'm kind of eh on. I'm trying to figure out how to include the center circle, without it looking weird. Not sure.

That makes a lot more sense. I was going to ask what modern installations you work on that have ordinary roads at 15m wide.

It looks really good so far - certainly a huge improvement on my terrible paint skills. It's probably not necessary to map all the alleyways, particularly when the residential district is a city of 15k.

I do note that you're missing the platform wall in the outer courtyard. I'm guessing you haven't reached that part yet.

That's what happens when I've been working in meters for the last year and suddenly need to start using feet. Haha

I've had the same thought. I can just for shits and giggles someday on a different layer. If I ever make a 3D model like I want to then it would become necessary. Though I'll need to make the contour map first, and get the math set properly. Maybe someday.

>Actually I've been meaning to ask about that. The descriptions given are kind of vague and I haven't really been able to wrap my head around exactly what the platform wall is and what function it serves
It's basically a giant retaining wall that creates a huge raised platform at the same height as the inner area. You'd have a ramp/road running along the RHS of the courtyard which would rise by the 10m-15m drop (or whatever it will be) but LHS of the courtyard would either be at the lowest height or the highest height thanks to the platform wall.

As for the its function, I pictured it as a secondary defensive juncture should the outer courtyard be breached (easily fortified, could be used for archers and mages to rain hell on the lower area, protects any field stations out there etc) as well as a multipurpose area. By having two big flat areas in the courtyard you can use it in a normal way, which can be difficult if the whole thing was a big ramp or thoroughfare. So, stalls, temporary buildings, podiums for speeches etc. I mean, the outer courtyard is pretty damned big so it makes sense to try to make it useful while still being defensible.

>Also not going to touch the Noble Manors until you get that bit worked out on your end.
Yeah, once we bash out the size of the keep and the scale of the inner area we can work out what can fit in there. I'll need to do some research into that side myself.

>>34195233

I haven't thought about it yet. If I do a 3D model then I'll need to personally model all of the special things like Towers, the walls, architectural direction(I would dread modeling Vitria), and the Castle.

>>34195310

>regarding platform wall

That makes a lot more sense now. I'll have to retool the Outer Courtyard now for it to make sense. It'll be kind of hard to show in the flat map, but the contour map will make it more evident. Works for me.

I'll bash it out with you about the keep and Inner Courtyard tomorrowish. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out. I figure the keep will be fuck huge because it was suppose to be the secondary seat of Darlesia. But yeah.

Also I've been wondering if the walls themselves have towers, and if so if they were rounds, squared, covered, whatever.

>>34195497
Diamond maybe? It's always harder to attack a corner.

>>34195629

A possibility as well. As the star-fort guy I definitely know the benefits of the corners. In fact half the reason I'm designing this is so we have a more accurate map for designing such expansions. The canal running right by Harrowmont will be fun too, I can design a couple of different things we can do with it, and let everyone else bash out what they want with it, and I can go from there.

>>34195497
>Also I've been wondering if the walls themselves have towers, and if so if they were rounds, squared, covered, whatever.
There would probably be turrets (diamond or square, probably) wherever there is an intersection on the walls but the wall is so stupidly huge (we're talking 100ft high walls, here - Constantinople's turrets topped out at 66ft; plus then there's the sheer depth of the walls) that they wouldn't need towers for access, they could just jam lifts and passageways into the regular walls without doing much to the structural integrity. Makes it really hard for an enemy to pick a point to attack, too, as you don't know what areas are important on the walls and what aren't.

>I figure the keep will be fuck huge because it was suppose to be the secondary seat of Darlesia.
It will be much larger than historical keeps, that's for sure. It's probably somewhere between 6 and 10 storeys tall. Dunno about diameter. Probably much more than historical keeps because the outer walls will be much thicker than those, too.

Why not split off channels once it reaches Harrowmont and reconverges once it leaves? The main travelling channel remains as large for easy travel. But then you could have one bit feeding a moat, another bit getting pumped up to the top of the cliffs for an artificial waterfall, etc.

Needs a proper font for the text. Something that Talon would approve of. Something like Fluffy Tails

The font looks good to me.
what alternative font would you suggest?

>>34199282
One of these.

http://www.dafont.com/augustus.font

Font choice can have a big impact on how your message is interpreted, especially on a subconscious level. As a big fat word nerd, I think the current font choice is not a bad one by any means (the only truly wrong choice is comic sans), but I think these three are much more evocative of empire building. Very greek/roman.
Unless of course Aspirational is trying to evoke something other than empire building?

Personally I'd go with the Optimus Princeps. That's what got used for the Dark Souls logo (somewhat modified of course), and the dude in the picture just reminds me so much of Artorias the Abysswalker. To me that makes it a perfect fit.

Or if you'd prefer to go a little less Latin and a little more English

Would also be an excellent choice.

We need to use Comic Sans because, if you can't use Comic Sans, whats the point of being Emperor?

From Q&A pastebin

Q10.5:
>Journeyman could summon those and they're probably as good in combat as your average mage-knight or battlemage - assuming they don't get a knowledge familiar (which would enable them to become stronger mages rather quickly).
what is a knowledge familiar?

>>34199329
>>34199418
I prefer the current font to all 4 of these examples

>>34199631
Like I said, it's not a bad font. I just think the others would work better for this.

I'm using Adobe's Charlemagne font currently
http://www.fonts.com/font/adobe/charlemagne/bold

It seems pretty servicable and I don't see any huge problems with it. Out of the four you offered, only Optimus Princeps seems a good alternative (I don't like Black Chancery, Capitalis lacks oomph and Augustus doesn't kern).

This using Optimus Princeps, bolded.

Knowledge familiars are basically just weak familiars that know lots about various topics, typically magical. They either have been around for a while or simply start off knowing plenty (its part of their concept). Some of them may have abilities to let them learn more rather quickly (eidetic memory, incredible intelligence, can communicate with other knowledge familiars etc).

Good stuff.

This is unbolded Princeps.

I think I prefer the unbolded variations but am undecided on the font.

>>34200068
Out of the ones presented, I think I like unbolded Princeps the best.

>>34200068
I think you should at least try Comic Sans once. Just to feel like an emperor.
