Ship warfare is too much to ask... Sigh...

It is, in fact, the stereotypical example used to indicate that a feature request has gone too far. "Requires ship-to-ship combat" is BM feature requests' "jumped the shark" ;D

We can dream. It'd make coastal cities more dangerous yet profitable to hold, and add a new level of dynamics to world economy, politics, and war. Weather conditions could speed or slow entire fleets, and one could either go with a player-per-ship model like current sea/land travel, or go with a tactic I've seen in a few games where ships depart at regular/irregular intervals and you either make it on the ship or you wait for the next one, a-la proper pre-modern times.

*shrug* Oh well.

That WOULD be so cool. But something tells me the coding for that would be a huge undertaking.

Mmm... here's to hoping the war explodes into an island-wide conflict >_>

Hmm. What if it was just that every coast city could travel to every other coast city? Could that be done?

Auravandil and Morek are both too far away to be constant players in the war. On top of that, Auravandil either has to go through Barca (by the way, three Barcan lords recently switched allegiance to Auravandil, so I doubt the Barcans would happily allow an Auravandil army through their lands), or D'Hara, which has played a strategic neutrality. Terran is suing for peace; they were never really much of a 'war realm'. Asylon has a huge border to defend - not to mention a border that's poorly defended.

It *could* be done, without an extreme amount of effort.

But it won't be done.

And this is why Asylon is doomed to lose this war. ^^

@Indirik: I thought as much. Oh well. Nice to fantasize about such things.

You should do one of two things:

1. See if there's already a thread specifically for this in the Development forum (even if there isn't, I am *positive* that this exact idea has been mentioned there somewhere) and comment there.

2. Start a new thread if you can't find an old one.

Haha, it's okay, I'm done talking about it now. I am very ADD...

So does anyone here think Asylon will be completely destroyed?

Not unless they pull a Caerwyn.

Funny how Terran attacking a theocracy and Asylon attacking a theocracy is two different things.

Terran doesn't practically declare war on the Church. Terran declares war on Kabrinskia.

Yes. Yes you are. But you aren't exactly on the in crowd. And while I agree all the fundamentalist theocracies are out to kill all other realms, saying it to their face is not very diplomatic. Or tactful. Which is part of the reason you have so many realms against you.

Moderator note: Quoting of deleted post has been deleted.

Edit: Sorry Indirik. Didn't check what the new post was when I posted.
