So Luria was fun but I'm looking for something fresh. Wut's good in the moot/SA/etc?
-
Well, we're all suffering starvation, if that what gets you off. Well, other than Morek. They're the reason Tom kept the food production low for so long, bastards.
-
You can come tussle with the Zuma in Aurvandil. We also have cookies! Turns out medicant's a really good cook!
-
You can always go to the sinking ship that is D'Hara.
-
POLITICAL INTRIGUE! LOTS OF WAR! YELLING SENATORS!
You will get all of this and more at Terran! :D
-
Luria Nova, it's Luria but it's NEW!
-
I'm really enjoying Kabrinskia, we are very helpful and we work well even with a smaller number of nobles than other realms. Part of SA, it opens to many possibilities and even within the realm you can anticipate to progress quickly to a better position, it's a good moment to join us, we have cookies too like everyone but that's just plain compared to everything we can offer you on top of that, we are at the cheese cake level.

Asylon is the land of oppurtunity, the nexus between north and south east and west. Strong proud and free!
-
Meh, I think the place to be right now is Terran and D'hara but then again I'm biased. :P I hope Kab and Asylon are doing better now with new leadership :) I've yet to heard of the state of affairs and hope to get back into neutral-to-good relations and meet some interesting folk from either nation.

Pretty much.
-
You should base your choice of realm on the availability of food. So stay out of Aurvandil because somehow our rurals can't be trusted to be efficient under the new food coding >.>

Yep, just lost Celtiberia again. What the hell is up with your rural areas? >_>

Some regions that used to be very productive arn't anymore and are only self sufficient when weather is good

Morek, then. We have so much food, we got Tom to change the code! Come get your share and start thinking of ways to use it.

It's true. Terran, D'Hara and Barca are all ripe to see some significant changes in the near future, thus there is the possibility of some big opportunities for anyone playing there.
-
The south will be the scene of much intrigue and change in the coming month and beyond. ;-)
Terran, D'hara, and Barca will be facing many new changes. Honestly, if I could choose, I'd still join one of these three since they're so primed for massive changes in coming times. I get tired of well-established nations ruled by the same exact people for ages :P Despite the fact that I joined Terran hoping for exactly that, HAHA, it has turned out to be quite the opposite. I've been playing, what, two months? I became Lord, Senator, Vice-Marshal, Marshal, and now I have about a dozen people annoying me and asking me to become General, and I have my own personal ambitions of course... Much lays upon the horizon. I *love* how Terran allows its new players to take power if they wish it and do much with it if they are the ambitious type. Its something you don't seem often since its usually the same old players recycling influence and command while everyone else boringly sits around taking orders without a chance to make things interesting. Half of Terran's Lords are players who have joined very recently, most newest than myself, including 1 or 2 that I recruited to BM through Haven&Hearth and Bay12. The others I recruited are in Kabrinskia, Astrum, Morek, and a few other places, I can't ever remember who the hell it is I recruited since the names they use in BM are totally different than the ones I know them by, hehe.
I *LOVE* Dwilight. Sure, the name makes me cringe, but the players! The intrigue! The realms! The politics! The religions! Oh my! I would totally start a religion in Dwilight and counter SA for the fun of it if I wasn't so hellbent on being a warrior. :P Meh, since we can change classes, maybe I'll become a Priest someday when everything dies down. Who knows what the future holds?
That's the fun part!
-

We had that problem a while ago too
-
Remember remember the huge overall surplus is gone. Now you have a small overall surplus at 100% production. Spring is not 100% production.
-
So you're saying we can only wage war in the fall now, otherwise our regions will rebel? That's pretty rediculous foundation in my opinion. Half our dang regions are in the negtive and Theirs no way we can actually wage war without half our sources of gold rebelling due to low food. It has been WAY to long since I've had a good battle!

I think that what it actually means is that wars will have to be limited in length.
You have to save up food for two or three years, then wage war for a summer/fall. Then save up food for two or three years, then wage war again. The objective of wars would be to destroy the enemy's food production, then have food of your own ready to stabilize conquered regions.
Which is not the kind of war Aurvandil likes to fight. Ya'll like barnstorming urban assaults and drawn-out marching wars of big armies.

To quote numerous someone elses:
"It's supposed to be Battlemaster, not Foodmaster."
I'm happy to wait to see how a full year of seasons (without a bugged, extra-long winter thrown in) shakes out before I pass further judgment, but the last month or so has been pretty painful. I'm about to table a second potentially interesting war because we're still on very shaky ground food-wise. If we sent armies out now, the realm would start to fall apart again within days.

Yup.
Problem is, many of us will be just trying to address starvation with all the summer harvests, no rollover: we'll just have autumn harvests to get us through winter. And if autumn is your only surplus, you're doomed to starvation (unless you have bountiful harvests the entire fall maybe). SO I'd say it'll be two years before it all shakes out.

D'Hara is not dead. We're just resting.
... We're very heavy sleepers. :'(

Holy crap there's a Kinsey in D'Hara. Yeeeah you guys don't need to worry.
-
Nah, this Kinsey is different, his brother takes all his energies. :P
He's forced to rest all the time.

It's all part of the plan. Solaria will be exhausted by the time they reach Sallowtown.

Solarian soldiers marching through the Dragon Isles:
*Yawn* "Why do we feel so sleeepy..... zzzz"
-
Zounds! They've carpeted the islands with....poppies!!
The cunning fiends!

Raviel is the original source of Bloodmoon fruit, if any of them make it that far.
