Post by: Revan on July 31, 2013, 02:04:25 AM

Not sure about this. Colonies is the only playing island that had 1 turn a day, which suit lot of older players, those players who prefer slow moving environment and so on. When other islands consider to deport the enemy infiltrators, Colonies is the first island that come to their Judges minds. As it is considered a "punishment" already when they get 1 turn a day. Heh ;D

at the end of the day it will not be our choice if the Colonies go.  If it does, then I can see us all heading out together.  Find a realm somewhere else willing to give up a duchy...or we take it.

Well, I'll just say that I would welcome you into the Farronite Republic on Dwilight and use the wealth of Golden Farrow to support the forming of your own realm where Astrum currently is.

Is Dwilight still as stuffy and formal as it once was?  I tried to play there and had a horrible time but that was back at the beginning.

No, it's pretty diluted now. Honestly the only difference I see between it and other continents roleplaying wise is that we have Sanguis Astroism as a huge religion (though one that has completely divided into two sides at this point).

That is good news to me.  I am all for story lines and keeping everything moving in game motivation... but I could not deal with all the arguing between people who thought this or that was not how real people would act at such and such time in history.

Nah, I never see this.

Good idea. Which continent should we go?

I am thinking about my family home on Colonies. Where should I relocate to since I do not have any Hero and no plan to change to one just yet?

Come to Ohnar West on FEI! Brilliant war against an evil empire, and lands assured if we secure victory! Or Astrum on Dwilight, where there is tremendous scope to advance, and epic battles every week.

What's evil about the Arcaean empire?

Come to Coralynth, the Dark Isle realm north of Ohnar West, and help me defeat those dishonorable dogs! One of them stabbed Gaston in the night!

Yes, we can be the invading Colonial Empire!
Then we can split off into city states after we establish a strong beachhead, and then fight each other.
We can always ally with each other when there are external threats.

That sound like a good idea. I do have a character in FEI, waitaminute. He is on Ohnar West opposing side. Did we fight each other yet? :P

Should Colonies end up destroy, I do have a lot of things to consider: Family home relocation, 2 characters want to go which islands. If 1 character does go FEI, another one has to be somewhere else, as maximum is 2 characters per island except for Dwilight. Hmm, that when we come to the bridge later ;)

Well, lets see… a throne of skulls, a bloodthirsty religion, a network of spies, lack of respect for treaties, and a penchant for backstabbing allies… Shall we continue?  :P

Heh, what better time to defect than now ;D

I... I finally figured out what the Arcaean Empire is. They're Chaos Undivided!

Waitwaitwait. Which side do you think you're talking about here?

Because from where I sit (aside from the throne of skulls; I haven't heard of one of those on either side, but IMO it's neither here nor there), that is a perfect description of the "Free Realms".

Pretty much, Anaris, yeah. The throne of skulls was Jenred's, not Velax's. The Order of Elders is acting far more bloodthirsty lately than the Sartanians. The only treaty broken between Arcaea and Arcachon was the one Arcachon broke when it sent an assassin after Arcaean nobles during peacetime and started the war that got them destroyed. And this war started when Kindara broke their federation with Zonasa. Sounds like people should join the valiant, honourable Empire against the evil "Free Realms". :P

I seem to remember it being more along the lines of Arcaea deciding that, because Jenred signed the "peace treaty" without the consent of the nobles, it was void. And then telling Arcachon so. When Arcachon decided to get, well, let's say a head start on things,  Arcaea used *that* as their new reason for war. But at this stage what actually happened probably doesn't matter :p

As to the Free Realms, that's pretty much true though of course the bit with Zonasa was Justified™.  I think it would be fair to say that there are no good guys on the Far East, just two sides powerful enough to make a go at backing up their version of history. It's delightful. You'd have fun no matter who you join. But pick the Free Realms.

So why are we talking about FEI in the Colonies subforum?
Title: Re: So, if Colonies gets the chop...
Post by: Revan on August 02, 2013, 07:56:59 PM
Obviously because that's where we shall establish the glorious Colonies empire when (if) Colonies sinks! ;-)

In fact, hypothetically speaking, I wonder where would be best to try and establish any Colonies realms should Colonies close. Lukon and Oritolon have fairly gargantuan armies at the moment by Colonies standards but they would probably only be mid-ranking powers anywhere else. It probably wouldn't be easy.
