PeL are already preparing to launch a colony. I doubt they would have the resources to do so again anytime soon unless you can bring a big influx of nobles with you. Also those areas, are absolutely crawling with rogue. It would certainly be difficult to establish there.

  I didn't say Madina would do anything as a nation to support such a colony atempt....
As we have seen before, a colony can only surivive with lots of funds and constant  military support from atleast one realm for the first month or so.

That's the way BM works, you win some, you lose some. If Caerwyn dies then I can finally go to PeL and try to get a following to create a colony 

Why go to PeL for colonization? In Madina, a citizens right to colonize is written in the very constitution! all you need is your liege consensus.

What about detailed sub maps of regions? showing the overview of the city/region, with temples, guilds, RCS and any other building that are able to be build in game, but now as a lord you could decide where to place certain buildings, and the way your city looks.*
It doesn't have to have any effect on the game at all, other then just the way stuff looks for people.
So now you don't see the buildings on a list, you actually see them on a map. (imagine a city build in imagine of the blood stars or some other religious or national symbol...)

*to a certain extend, I understand that it could take lots of work to make a city map fully customizable by it's lord(including streets and all the regular houses, how there aligned and where there placed).

Wow.

That is awesome.

I tried to get a real constitution going in Irombrozia for the longest time; never worked. The fact that ya'll have a functional system that you actually obey over game mechanics is really cool.

Well then, come on over and join the fun!

I do wish to disagree with the system beeing functional.
If Madina would be in danger of invasion, yes, the realm will function as another realm in a so called 'state of emergency'.
But in state of peace, any invasion(looting parties) executed by Madina will be one or several individual expiditions planned and carried out by individual landowners(local lords), with or without the support of the Governor.
Also the food distribution doesn't have a balance yet, Madina has weekly starvations just because in some way the Governor didn't manage to gather enough food every week to feed his citiezens, where Madinas landowners produce enough to feed Madina and even Export abroad.

But for the consitution to be a fun system, it requires good, fun and ambitious characters to rule over there properties.
So if you think your character fits with the above, join the fun!

I'm not overly sure why he wasn't just banned from the realm, but I guess this way was much more fun!

First of all, it's his property and no one is justified to take it from him(not even the goverment).
Second, it's not possible, you'd have to force suceed him, that was next on the list but it required one lord to change duchy, but he never replied to any letters.

Madina lives by a diferent philosphy than most realms carry, the goverment isn't the boss of any landowner, they just make sure everyone in the republic is safe, and in case of war, all landowners defend each other.
Any disputes or politics is solved on personal levels, rarely via the goverment, for she wields no such power over it's citizens.

Hehe, well, you should be more careful next time, handing over your City to your former enemies like that. It's now in the past, but it's certainly tempting to have Madina under our control now.

What do you mean in the past? for lots of Madinans, Paisly is still in the rightful claim of certain characters, it's just that D'hara defended it well and deported the most important claim holder.

And no way D'hara can hold Madina or feed her for more than a few days.

It's been one of the most desperate atempts, but this one finally worked
In Madina, the land is ruled by it's owners and the goverment practicly by the governor of Madina.
As the biggest property, the Governor of Madina is the prime movement behind the realm.
A change in governor of Madina is thusly much more of impact on the realm and it's suroundings then a change of goverment members.

There will certainly be lots of exiting developments everywhere in Dwilight, i looking forward for all of them.

This war will totaly depend on the cohesion of the church, who of the SA members will join what side.
If they stand as one body against the nations of freedom, the war will be quickly over.

Theres lots of Rp consistency, a bunch of people would like to extend there amount of power in the realm and my character wants his city back.
It's been going on for a long time now and caused many intresting roleplays and interaction with people and even a unique item was involved and so on.

I just wish that the Dukes would take a little more self control. The constitution says they can send expeditions to wherever they want (I think, it's been a while since I read it), but none of them do. I could easily see Candiels duchy raiding Barca, then Fatmilak duchy selling it food because the Dukes oppose each other. But something like that won't happen because the Dukes don't throw their weight around enough.

Your completly right, and it is quite hard to get rid of the most powerful person in the whole realm.
I hope once oportunity alows to skeme against him again properly, things will drasticly change.
Abbot allready has great plans for his next term as Governor of Madina.

Shae never cheered for all that blight, they simply told the realm that the best thing would be to ally the undead, it's a shame Talmarkin didn't follow or more land could have been saved perhaps.

Also when we fought the undead, shae was quite sucsesful in taking over more regions than they took from us, preventing lots of blight by the undead.

And yes, Shae would prefer Undead blight above Daimon blight for the obvious reason that Melhed was allied with the undead.

So basically Madina is a functional basketcase state?

What do you mean with basket case? or functional?

Madina fucntions as it it does but it is by far one of the most uneficient realms in BM.
It has to much individual freedom for lords and there is no real feeling of nationalism.
It creates fun situations especialy with so many typical characters.
But it isn't really efficient.

Indivdual people gain wealth and the republic gains nothing, and it will only expand based on personal ambitions by certain governors(dukes).

A split will thus very unlikley happen.
The realm it's self is split enough as it is.

So, the invasion is over, half of the island is lost and many wish to see it reclaimed.
Are we able to 'unblight' the blight? And how do we think we can do it?

Please, Burn loose.

This topic is going really fast. On the discusion of Madina, The explanation some people are giving is just only a small (more public) part of it.
For example the Capital has been changed indeed because of a conflict between almost all Madinas land owners and some others in Madina with Governor Sage who refuses to step down per there will.
This has caused various plots against him, like assasniation atempts, not selling food, referendas, and now the moving of capital and the changing of aliegance of Madinas landowners to the duchy of fatmilak.
Nothing seems to work, against Sage.
And now most of the older members in Madina bound with Sage as a new mutual inner republican treat seems to apear amongst the younger nobles.

The declaration against SA was indeed an atempt to atract  refugees in order to deal with the low influx of new nobles.
