Since long ago, in the link of Realms and Regions, the region of Thysan appears without a lord, but it actually has one since a lot of time. If you click on the region of Thysan and see the region details you notice that there is a lord, but not in the realms and regions page.

The same happens to our Vice Marshal of the Army (the Phoenician Legion), who is not listed in the army as holding the position, when he does.

There are also in the armies list or character list nobles that hold the position of lord, and don't hold any title anymore.

On the message list there also appear several problems with the different positions, for example it tells you a noble is knight of a region, he doesn't is anymore.

Thanks in advance

I've added some problems today to the bugtracker, and one of them was the holiday thing. I hope it is solved, as we have several nobles with units unpaid since 11 days ago.

I also ask all nobles of Barca to report all problems to the bugtracker, let's see if we restore normality. I agree that since the new estate system was established in Dwilights several problems have appeared.

Finally Barca has achieved to take over Gallaecia, and will surely add Twainwood soon. Let's see how this game year advances and how far Barca can expand.

Our MI units in Barca are really helping us a lot against monster units, and more if we consider the three range they have. Normaly with the MI and the Archers with range 4 the monsters don't arrive to our lines, if fight well.

Slowly Barca is expanding savely, don't risking his integrity, as by now we have now hurry for it.  I completely agree with the fact that we would need some more nobles to increase our expansion speed, and secure the newest regions with nobles and estates that increase the growth of the regions. We don't have to forget that all surrounding regions to Barca haven't  more than 100 popoulation, and taking a new region means to make it grow without having good economic incomes, having to defend another region. Therefore, and seeing the military growth of the realm, I think Barca has to grow so far it is able to maintain itself.

I think everyone that feels reflected with the use of weed, could use it in their RP in a serious way. In the middle age people smoked, smoked herbs, smoked pipes, and this gives some good situations in which use it. I use it in my RP when my characters think about themselves, about the present situation of the realm, or the past and make reflexions about it. But I would like to say, it should be used in a serious way, not as a joke or as something to laugh about, as the game has a serious atmosphere and we should respect it.

Ok guys, after reading all the messages, or at least making a quick view of them I think I will be the only one that will contribute to the original idea of this topic.

Yes I also smoke weed sometimes, as my family names shows, Marley Family. I also tried to make something with weed in relation to Battlemaster, and I decided to create when I started my character a family history and a guide called Marley's Botanical Guide, that can be found in the Wiki under this URL:

http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Marley%27s_Botanical_Guide

I hope this topic at least shows some creativity and imagination. I usualy use the references of the different herbs I describe in the Marley's Botanical Guide in my roleplay, as all my characters smoke from a wooden pipe and also use the medical propierties of the herbs to help the injured soldiers. The different herbs I describe are only from regions where my character has been, although I don't make herb descriptions of every region as I think it's too much and unnesecary. I would also enjoy to see if there is any other player that uses the weed and herbs with creativity, including it in some way in the game, without doing damage to anyone.

I also don't want to enter the discussion about if it's good or not to smoke, or if it's illegal or not, bla bla bla, it simply sucks and I simply don't care about. Everybody can do what he wants with his body.

I think Kydonia and Nark are both interesting regions. Nark brings Barca nearer to Twainwood and Twainville. Anyway to hold another city it would be a good idea to have a region as Kydonia. This region would also bring us closer to Evanburg and close our borders to the south.

Both options are interesting. About when, I think the first step is survive and come out in good conditions from the winter, and then look forward to expand us.

Or the southern Duchy could secede to Barca...

I would like to see Barca expand on their own in the future to the south and west, instead of gaining regions by secesion.

From inside of Barca I can say that, at least in the recent weeks things are changing for better. Upon entering the winter we suffered a pretty big invasion of monsters and undead. It seemed possible that part of the progress made during the summer and spring came down, but with the help of our allies and a bit of luck, we have emerged stronger from this situation. At the end we have lost nothing of the progress made, and we have progressed more. Now we have an adequate infrastructure with which to work, and we begin to have some incomes to spend on our military, which is beginning to give us a little military autonomy, despite the help of our allies is always welcome and rewarding.

Our regions begin to grow more and more, which is shown in our production of food and gold. Never before have we earned what we are earning now.

In personal terms, I am delighted to interact with both of our allies. We are a small republic with few people now, and this sometimes means that there is not much RP (which could be improved with some enthusiasm). In this sense, constant communication and coordination with our allies helps a lot, since we are not locked in internal communications. I think I can say on behalf of many who began the history of Barca, that our past in Terran allowed us to establish personal ties with the nobles of there, which shows the bond we have now.

I personally find things to be a bit too quiet. It is almost as if most people have regulated their character in Barca to a secondary "do the bare minimum" role. Getting anyone interested in debate, role play, planning, or anything else beyond sending orders and following them is quite difficult.

I have to agree a bit with this idea. I would enjoy much if people discuss (politely) on new proposals to improve our realm. Personally I have proposed some ideas, and we have never discussed it firmly.

Reguarding the future, I would like to see Barca expand a bit more (at least controling two more regions). I think if we could growing and don't find too much troubles or too hard troubles this winter we could expand easily. From my point of view, the greatest difficulty we have now for it is the lack of noble and estates to control the regions properly.

It's obvious for those nobles in Barca that we are living now better moments, as we have grown a bit. It's cool to take a look to our food production that is starting to grow, as our regions, but our economy (at least as a knight) is very low and this makes our defense difficult. We have lots, lots, sorry, did I say lots? of monsters in this part of dwilight in winter, and it's quite frustrating to see that our allies come to help us when we have a big invasion, we clear the regions, and one week after it we have all our regions invaded again, this resumes the winter in Barca quite well. Of course our high travel times between regions don't help.

On the other hand we are in constant fights against monsters and undead which makes the honour go up very fast. The future under my point of view can be very promising if we manage to grow a bit more and be able to defend us by our own, and for this Barca will need at least some more nobles.

Under my point of view new characters would have more possibilities in a small and expanding realm where you fight battles for expansion and have more option to get promoted as in a established realm where you find characters with lots of experience and you find more difficulties to promote and become glorious.

Or did you mean dream not dread?

That seems more likely now that I think about it haha

Sorry, you're right, I wanted to say dream

My dread is to see Barca being able to hold a good military strengh that allows her to expand more to the west.

My dream will change but for now my greatest dream is to conquer Darfix. I wonder how much gold it will generate.

I think it would be a great idea to have more water routes we could use to move, although it should take high travel times. This way a colonization of Darfix would be easier, but it would be also easier to attack big cities having sea connections.

It's curious to see in what kind of discussion this topic ended...  :D

Hey! Its my first message in the forum! I'm a noble of Barca, and I've to say I enjoy playing in this part of the continent. It's a really difficult area, with extense travel times which make coordination and help between realms really difficult, but anyways it's great. I've to agree in the fact that people can't imagine how difficult and how much investment you've to do to see a slow improve.

I would ask the people who play in Barca to be a bit more active in their RP. We all know it's difficult and sometimes hard to be sitting around with a very few gold coins, being unable to recruit a unit. Therefore I think that we should manage to give our republic a bit more of fun with some great histories, where we may knew us better as nobles.
