My first day in Astrum:, attacked by monsters, wounded, and unit wiped out to the last man.

Welcome to Dwilight!

I remember my first week on Dwilight. It was pretty much that, and then I received a whopping 1 gold of tax revenue to make up for it.
-
Yup. Sounds about right.
-
He should try a less evolved realm ;)
-
It is a never-ending onslaught indeed. Not that I complain, the non-stop monster battles have left me the most honorable/prestigious noble in PeL/Luria Nova by a mile.
-
At least monsters and undead give you something to do.
-
wouldn't it be more fun if the monsters/undead came in waves? like with wave one easy, wave 2 medium, wave 3 hard, wave 4 very hard.
With 1 as the most common type of wave and 4 the rarest.
realms would have perhaps a whole month of nothing and then suddenly 2 weeks long struggling large waves of monsters, sometimes even building up wave after wave.
because there is so much wilderness in Dwilight, some small monsters/undead might travel in plundering bands, seeking out the richer regions, thus realms.
this of course for Dwilight only.
Quite radical but fun.

This used to be reality on Dwilight... and it was NOT fun.
-
I dont know about you, but in Fissoa they do seem to come in waves, somehow. Perhaps because the Palm Sea acts as a giant hub.
First it's quiet for a while, and then suddenly we have monsters in 4 regions at once ... :) good fun!
Once we tried reinforcing Giask and found monsters in all regions on the way there ... not fun :)
-
That's pretty much what's happening now if you're in the right Realms! The Nebel Region is quite often assaulted by waves of Monsters and Undead, last time we had four battles in a row with each time a new group. The Marrocidens is just one huge wave of endless rogues...
-
Yeah, and Raviel and Port Raviel are manned by about one unit between the two of them. I started off in Shadovar in those same islands, and the monsters were always a problem.
-
Well, we're meant to carve out an existence on Dwilight, and that is exactly what were all trying to do, isn't it?:) The room for expansion and exploration is Dwilight's biggest asset :)
-
My Dwilight Experience has been a rollercoaster. Soon appointed as Lord, followed by another Lordship. Started my own guild. Joined a succession. Became the Banker of Giask, followed by a civil war and now am ruling my own realm in Rettleville. ;)
-
Would anyone care for my rollercoaster story?
-
Thulsoma when I founded it was constantly being attacked, I mean constant, it didnt end until I finally got a bunch of nobles to abandon the realm... The Saxons could have it, was fun to be there but kind of out of control.
Artemesia, would love to hear yours. lol then mine?
-
Heh, Dwilight is a rollercoaster for everyone. I think we can all tell stories of broken dreams and fresh hopes, of RP threads made and destroyed.
-
I joined Shadovar a few turns before the D'Hara split. An interesting way to start off on a new continent.
-
I had Myern crumble around my character right when he arrived, his unit killed off the first night. In the time of crisis he got Judge in just a few weeks time, and the events that followed defined his personality :)
-

THen let's do it! I, the one and only heretic of SA, request that this be so! Woohoo!
-
Let's see... Amaury started off as a 17 year old greenhorn in Caerwyn, left after a short while due to disagreements with how the realm was run (and also out of sheer boredom), joined Pian en Luries during a tournament, became Vice-Marshal of the Silver Shield of Askileon but in reality pretty much led the army himself due to an inactive Marshal, became Count of Ciarin Tut at age 19, launched a smear campaign against a seditious Duke, then became General at age 22, successfully commanded the defense of the borders from Monsters, spent a week in a rogue prison, got reappointed as General, then got appointed Duke of Askileon at age 24 after Proslyn vanished, became sponsor and Marshal of the Silver Hammer of Tyr, started dabbling in politics hoarding food for himself and letting other duchies fend for themselves, became General again and led an army that was supposed to destroy Myern, got beaten to the punch by monsters, held a tournament to celebrate their downfall, became the most prestigious noble in PeL, became a driving force in getting rid of Brom and Loathin, led the campaign against the Giask rebels, snuck a 10k army into their capital through the back door ending the war, got betrayed by another Duke trying to overthrow the Queen, got exiled, fled to Astrum, organized the revolt against the Queen and came back right when Giask seceded, became interim General of Luria Nova, and if all goes well, should become its ruler in the near future...
So yes, it's been quite the roller coaster so far...

Garret arrived in Shadovar, did some bureaucratic work but there were too many bureaucrats or something (This was during the old class system). Then he scouted the west that was at the time still under black fog. Then he went to Golden Farrow to try to get food. Then he went back to Port Raviel. Then rebellion happened. He left for Morek, and participated in a few battles and joined Sanguis Astroism. Then he joined Aquilegia. Then he was proclaimed a heretic. He left after failing a rebellion against a self-admitted multi-cheater (Twinblade + about a dozen others, check the wiki page detailing his admission here: http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Talk:Twinblade_Family (http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Talk:Twinblade_Family))
Of course at the time I didn't know he was a multi. Anyway, then Garret went to Ordenstaat and then he got banned. Then he became a (rogue). Now he is not (rogue).
Awesome story yeah. ::)
-
I like Dwilight as it is, full of rogues and a constant survival struggle, even if there is no war you have always something to do and I think players should focus on spreading civilization as it's like a collective goal so the fun does not depend only on humans fighitng humans
I just would like to have more time (and to write better in english) to write down stories and chronicles on what happens on this continent (kind like the Dwi University)
-
Zip!

Hireshmont II arrived in Madina, looking to colonize the west. He quickly joined Melodia, and became an early leader of it: Judge at age 17. He participated in the rebellion there with Quintus Scarlett, then Melodia was destroyed by monsters. Fled to Madina again, tried to recolonize Paisly. Then, Terran was founded by Caerwynians. Hireshmont led the exiled Melodians north, and they joined Terran. Quickly became lord of Gretchew by age 19. By age 20, Duke of Chesney. Has since methodically built a huge political power base, travelled the continent, joined tons of guilds, and co-founded a religion. Arguably the most influential person in Maroccidens, and almost certainly the wealthiest.
-
Arguably the most influential person in Maroccidens...
Lets ask how our allied rulers think about that? ;)
...and almost certainly the wealthiest.
Can't argue that..
-
Mine may not be as exciting as others, but my first character on Dwilight was in Everguard, which then promptly fell into a civil war and was overrun by outside realms.
Needless the say, I didnt stay for very long and ended up next door in Astrum where I'd been trading when the whole rebellion started.
-
Vesuvis has been in Morek since the almost beginning. Although lost an election to Ordermarshal to a certain man named Horus, was appointed Marshal of an army of Morek. Eventually after Horus retired Vesuvis was elected Ordermarshal for some time. Although his time on the seat was frequently off and on. Led an expedition to Flowrestown appointed as duke. The following rebellion in the realm against Garret failed (I remember the multi-cheater's main character appeared prior to this, but played very little part in the rebellion). Fled to Morek and led expeditions to reclaim Aquilegia. Fought in wars against Libero Empire and the Raiva. Returned to Flowrestown to be appointed the Duke. Suffered an anti-climatic end after I paused him and he retires to Flowrestownb (or donghaiwei with his wife).
My next character was created in Asylon. Hopefully her story will be much more exciting.
-

I didn't say most powerful, I said most influential. I have a hard time seeing anyone other than Marche, or maybe Vigilans, being more influential that Hireshmont.
-
Making claims about how one's own character compares in the grand stage, especially when the grand stage is composed of other characters, as well as oneself, invites contention. Usually it's best not to brag about ourselves. If our characters want to do it, that's their choice. As players, we should let our characters speak for themselves, and intervene mostly to clarify things if necessary.
-

I believe it's a pretty solid claim. The Senator of Chesney has been behind a lot of things. The fact Marche tends to contact the Senator of Chesney earlier then Vigilans or include them both whenever he wishes to discuss something with Terran, is a good example of this.
-
Eh, I won't argue that he's the most talkative that I've seen from Terran. That, and among the most meddlesome, second maybe to the current King of Asylon. ;D
-
became the most prestigious noble in PeL, became a driving force in getting rid of Brom and Loathin, led the campaign against the Giask rebels, snuck a 10k army into their capital through the back door ending the war
Hmm, I never really thought about your character like all of that before. Sounds like a pretty fun ride. Certainly rivals Brom's. (but then I have Atamara to worry about right now...)
Maybe I'll add my rollercoaster ride here soon enough.
At any rate, I have to contest the "most prestigious noble in PeL". If that refers to actual prestige, then Brom had the most in PeL up until he lost his Ducal seat then he dropped barely below Amaury and Alanna. If you mean influence, possibly, but Brom also held this up until a point very close around the loss of his Ducal seat as well. Of course after Brom lost all that, he was no longer most prestigious.
Also, I'm not so sure you can call it "sneaking" a 10k army into the capitol. We knew it was coming(before the actual move), we just didn't have the military to stop it.
Grats on all the rest though. Sounds like a true "Dwilight" experience to me.
-
Amaury had 52 prestige at one point, making him the third most prestigious on Dwilight after Vallyn and Sage.

I am surprised Hireshmont isn't the Ambassador of Terran.. You can't argue that he acted a lot if he was.
And if it was not for him, Barca would have never been part of Dwilight.
-
Indeed. I never even heard from the official Ambassadors of Terran.
-
I didn't say most powerful, I said most influential. I have a hard time seeing anyone other than Marche, or maybe Vigilans, being more influential that Hireshmont.
I can't help but wonder what he thinks of his brother, to be honest.
-

Hates him, tries not to think about it. Valachi is dead, right? Few things would make Hireshmont happier.

I initially made Hireshmont a hero. So he's a "Martyr" now, priest-hero. I can't pick up an ambassador class anymore. It's sad, because I am effectively Terran's ambassador... just not technically so.
-

Oh yes, very dead. Executed for sedition against the daimons, as I recall.
-
Valachi: Sherilynn is a heretic! Try to kill me, stupid daimons, I dare you!
Cimmerian: Heretic! *feeds Valachi to minor daemons*
Something like that.

Is that including items?

yep.

The current King of Asylon, now that is a story that in development . ;)
Unfortunately, it is not one fully restricted to Dwilight... and I don't really feel like writing it all here. If you are interested I have saved some of the RPs that make up the story. http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Igelfeld_Family
