New Island Ideas

[Anaris]

I don't think there's any rule anywhere that says you can't curse or do things with your character that might be considered 18+.

You can swear on any continent you want.

You will get reported for vulgarity, and lose honour for it, of course.  Because what we think of swear words now are the kind of words that only peasants would have used in medieval times.

That's why they are swear words now. Because modern English is descended from the languages used by the conquering French Normans and the conquered Anglo-Saxons.  Words nobles used became "high" and scientific words; words peasants used became crude, rude words.

So saying 'merde' instead of '!@#$' is allowed? :)

I think people swear in all times and all cultures. Sometimes more vulgar than others, but we all do it...

I would say more like, "By the excrement of a thousand cows!"

Sounds cooler that way, too.

True dat :)
I've always liked Blood and Ash, in the WoT series.

If there was a new island created I would love to see a place with a well thought out map, SMA and MORTALITY. Death to the old. Death from battle. Death from disease. Death by execution. Death by duel. Plenty of death. Death that can come easily to those who do not act sensibly. A place where people can be truly greedy and grasping but still have churn in high powered positions. A place that sees faster character evolution. Where the development of story takes priority over the development/survival of a character. Always seemed a fun idea to me.

we tried that, it wasn't well-received. You're a minority there, sorry.

A lot of the complaints, though, were that mortality was being imposed upon people suddenly.

If a continent were created that was to have mortality active from the start, then everyone could factor that into their decision about whether to go there in the first place.

I really think it would make a big difference.

Honestly, I too would like a SMA island with mortality implemented.  No, I wasn't a fan of how it was done on BT.  Especially since so much tweaking had to be done to the Invaders' forces while it was active. 

Personally?  I'd love to see a map of Europe.  Maybe the Mediterranean and parts of the Middle East/Northern Africa, but most of Europe.  I would love to see how we could change history.   I would love to see Undead and Monsters replaced with Bandits and Mercenaries.

A map of Europe, at proper BattleMaster scale, would be gigantic.

And very epic.   

Though for mechanical reasons, taking a Risk-esque/Total War-like approach and combine some historical territories for...  Ease of play.

Yes and I think we have enough big maps as it is. Personally I like the smaller ones. EC is like the perfect size :D

[Fleugs]

I too would love a mortality(+SMA) island (I even migrated to BT because of mortality). An island that would also include more ducal powers and be more historically accurate. As long as we're just dreaming, I guess...

[Shenron]

Lets just combine all the islands and have a huge world.

And then Sanguios Astroism can finally conqu... -errr, spread the truth to the world much easier.

Indeed, I don't like mortality. But I wouldn't complain if such a continent was made, I just wouldn't play there.
