Other Games / Re: Browser Based Gaming

I played ArchMage quite a bit, it's absolutely spectacular. Some things have obviously been tweaked since the original code was sold, but it's still a great game. Sadly, I just haven't had the time to play much. Have an account, but no active characters for this reset period.

I haven't even thought of ArchSpace in years, but if that is still around I wouldn't mind starting a BM guild on there.

Overall goal:

Enliven the EC with a realm to be founded by a group of exceptionally active and deep characters. Dukes with immense power, Lords vying for favour, Knights running amok as they are wont to do, the entirety of a Kingdom working to help with (character) development for any that wish to join.

Not even a large realm, but something new that will help to redefine the continent in years to come.

((obviously, i would like to see myself as a king, but it's my idea so why not?  ))

Sanctus Acies could be the delivery method of my 'Darkhollow' concept... As there is no quarrel with any set of Gods from the church's viewpoint, they could get along quite well with others, unless it came down to personal matters obviously.  It could establish itself with assistance from the other religions in trying to create an actual roleplay and religion based interplay, unlike the monotony of what I've experienced in other theocracies. It wouldn't even need to be a theocracy in all actuality (the new realm), as long as it is a truly honourable place, Sanctus Acies would approve of calling somewhere there it's actual home. I've a notion to create a Monarchy somewhere on the EC with a more... goofball tone to it. Not a stupid kind of realm with people constantly skipping into battle wearing frilly shirts and no pants, but one that: A. enjoys open conversation, B. has a decent number of religions within it's borders, to allow for some actual development and interplay between religions, such as we saw in olden days (try to tell me that any of the worlds religions didn't develop in more ways than just war, and I will chuckle quite heartily), C. has a more Ducal based powerbase, in order to promote more people into positions of status and try to keep players (old and new hopefully) interested, D. encourages roleplays of the lives of Nobles, in order to promote character development for everyone.

I know, I'm asking for a lot... But wth, EC could use some change.

There has actually been an ongoing discussion within the church for the formation of a Sanctus Acies realm. As there is no real strife between SA and any of the other churches, except possibly the Flow, it would be a relatively easy enough goal to accomplish.

Taking into account normal considerations of course.

I myself have been rather bored as a Priest-Lord in Perdan. Things've been quite quiet since the death of Queen Balkeese on the political front, and Sanctus Acies has been almost silent except for the occasional lord temple creation or a few religion reports between the other priests and myself. Perdan's military has really kicked it up a notch despite the quietness for me. I'm sure there are a lot more messages sent within the armies than I see, not being able to assign myself for some reason...

And I will state that there was some bad tension in Caligus before I left. Perhaps once it gets sorted they can get the military back on the proper track, it had some good momentum but lost it somewhere along the way.

@Fleugs: I agree completely with the idea of Ducal Independence. For historical reasons, and the idea of creating smaller more cohesive realms. Obviously if you were warring, with that kind of political status, all contact between you would be neutralized except for at the very highest levels.

I've a similar concept rolling in my mind lately that I've put up on the wiki in a really rough draft. http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Darkhollow

Feature Requests / Additional Action for General

« on: May 21, 2011, 03:42:10 AM »

I have noticed that it is extremely hard to re-organize an established realm's military. Is there some way that the General position could also hold the ability to relocate troops from one army to another, and also have a visible list of those not posted to an army?

It is very difficult to manage the military when the Lords aren't always paying attention to army posting requests, or necessarily agreeable.

Once a Knight has enlisted joined up with an army, it should also be the highest ranking military officer who actually has some say as to where that Knight gets posted.

At least, that's my feelings on it. I don't know if it would be hard to code or anything, by no means am I talented with a computer, but it would simplify the lives of every General in the game, and therefore all the spectacular militaries in BM.

I'm going to say it's starting to become a toss-up between EC and FEI. It depends on the day, and what I feel like devoting myself to at the moment. I'm really glad Bedwyr convinced me to give FEI another shot.

EC has been spectacular amounts of fun on the strategy side of the game, and some of the Roleplay's have been a lot of fun. Now that I've got a priest working against the CoI, I expect it's going to step up even more. Definitely looking forward to that. Not to mention, having a character in a position of power really does give you a /lot/ more to do.

FEI has an absolutely great atmosphere. There is a lot of communication from the top all the way to the bottom, and I haven't even joined a religion yet. Seems to be more RP and interaction based than just wars.

Is it bad that I want to have an actual IG surprise? It's not funny at all, it's me wanting to enjoy my come-uppance. I have 1 character that was tortured in Westmoor, and I'd like to take my time exacting vengeance. It's called character development.

It's not like we'd bother making it up mate, Westmoor screwed the pooch as it were, and in due time I'll shout off myself who it was that erred so badly.

Westmoor trying to hit Caligus while they are fighting Ibladesh in the South is justification enough for me to want to war Westmoor.

Not to mention a former Judge of Westmoor was a torturer.  ((we've got our IG reasons covered))

Yeah, Westmoor might be a while off, but I will watch it burn to the ground. The exact same as I plan on doing to the Church of Ibladesh.
