Feature Requests / Re: Tournament of the Titans

« on: June 27, 2014, 01:00:52 AM »

A pony!

Also, I think maybe calling it Tournament of the Titans maybe isn't the beat idea as it has nothing to do with the other Titans but over all, sounds cool! Would be nice to meet other players who you've never played with before.

BM General Discussion / Re: An Open Letter to the BM Community

Because a couple of Eponllyn nobles came to Westmoor and joined us because they didn't agree with Eponllyn's hostile attitude to the Southern Alliance, and Westmoor in particular. They said, "Hey, Eponllyn is planning to attack Westmoor". Combined with some other diplomatic stuff that was going on, it was more than enough to persuade Thomas and others that Eponllyn had hostile intent.

There was no 'spying' or "sharing realm messages with hostile foreign powers". Just an fashioned defection by dissidents.

That's not exactly what happened but this isn't the thread for it. They didn't join Westmoor until after we had Oligarch and we banned them and you knew about it before then. Also I'm sorry to say they lied to you because we weren't planning to attack Westmoor.

I know you guys in Perdan loved him (and he wasn't banned because Perdan was a dictatorship by the way) but for everyone of you there there is someone else who he has harassed, sometimes to the point of driving them away. Apparently he was warned several times and didn't change so for those who wanted him to be bolted and given another chance, I guess he ran out of chances already. It's not ok to just overlook the bad he did because of some good he did. Only the Titans have seen every message and every detail relating the case so trying to tell them that they missed something or didn't consider something else is just pointless when it's likely that they know more than you already.

But I agree, it does seem a bit silly not to tell other realms he played in what happened in about as big a decision as this.

Heh, so it was just me and Peri that got captured. Just my luck. At least I should have some good company in prison

That was before the WIP came in, it's meant to be easier to take regions now right? (Or maybe I just dreamed that bit.)

Indeed. Lowering my production by 16% does not feel like a buff  as advertised

I don't like the Sartanism thing either but the other side overreacted themselves. People who are blaming all these arguments just on the Sartans are blinded by their own sense of righteous indignation. They offered to keep themselves to themselves, it was the anti-Sartans that couldn't accept the compromise and kept banging on about it and of course the Sartans had to react to that.

So everyone has gone too far and everyone has been mean. So can we all just move on and forget about it please.

BM General Discussion / Re: in game misogyny?

« on: May 30, 2014, 10:38:10 AM »

As another female gamer, a character that hates women that has an obvious and well defined RP basis doesn't bother me. What I do find slightly bothersome is all the casual boasting in Sandalak at the moment about how many peasants everyone is going to rape and kill and how many bastards they are going to father.

Sorry to hear about that.

I just meant that Siana wouldn't put up with him for long given she's something of a feminist

I wanted to highly favour women in Eponllyn but there are way more male characters in BM than female so it never really worked out.

Helpline / Re: Constant diplomatic "praise realm" fails

« on: May 27, 2014, 12:52:08 AM »

It took me weeks to convince a region of my realm not to hate us and doing the same thing as you (trying to get  them to like an ally) isn't going that well for me either. Also you are much more effective when you are trying to improve the view of your own realm instead of someone else's (from in game text: Naturally, your word about your own realm will be believed more than your word about other realms) so I think it's working as intended.

Feature Requests / Re: Change default settings for dynamic map

« on: May 22, 2014, 01:14:56 PM »

Details: When the dynamic map loads, there is a small blue control panel letting you select the visible layers. I suggest that the new default be: Flags On, all others off. This will closely replicate the behavior of the original dynamic map.

Please please do this. I very much dislike that the 'realms' selection is so high above the 'flag' selection and when you select realms I think the colours look horrible and makes it much more difficult to see what is going on. I like the scrolling and panning but I never use anything except flags. Well, mostly I just use the old political map. I also agree with Indirik that taking off the 'regions' overlay makes it look a lot better as well. That bright red is too garish.

Also, when you click on a region and the info box pops up, how do you get rid of it again? Can you put a little cross in the top right corner or something?
