BM General Discussion / Re: Player Statistics

« on: August 06, 2013, 07:55:53 AM »

Tom, graphics tip:

Make it a pyramid up instead of a slope down. So a base at 0, the 1s on top, the 2s, etc. Like classic population demography charts.

Also, as a stats nerd, what I see in this graph is that BM isn't struggling to retain new players that much: if we get'em, they stay for a year. Where we're struggling is the 1-2 year range. We get people for a year, then they drop out. That's NOT the story we've been getting from talking on the forum, asking peoples' perceptions, etc.

Alternatively, maybe the 2-years-ago group was outrageously big, or maybe the current year group is abnormally small.

Was thinking the same thing as Vellos.  the X and Y Axis should be switched.

I played on PC shortly after it was released. I didn't have any problems.

Never had any issues with it either.   Probably the best Fallout game since FO2.

So who's gonna get Candiels? I heard Barca wants it.

Pretty Sure Fissoa is going to make a new Realm.  If we don't we'll have troubles holding onto territory.

Still can't move food around as the banker in Fissoa

You think they'll last that long?

If Luria Nova allows, we'd be able to pitch in if you do this. That'd be awesome.

I'm being generous.   They have 10K in the Capital give or take.  And we take a week to do a TO. . . month just to take the Western Island.

They might actually die off before we get to kill them.

Kingdom sounds good to me.

Also:

Fissoa (nothin else)
Fissoan Imperium
Kingdom of Greater Fissoa
Ducal Union of Madina

Imperial Duchies of Fissoa . . . mmm

You guys moved too quickly, would have loved to participate in that!

We'll likely secure all the western isle first, then wait out the winter in the Tower.   So, figure end of August to finish them off.

I'm always partial to renaming it a Kingdom, I mean all those duchies make the Grand Duke a proper ruler over Dukes, rather than just above one Duke or two Duke's.

I hope you guys still have some militia in Candiels. We need at least one epic battle out of this.

I wouldn't count on it.   The stats chart says they had ~10K CS prior to the fight in Fatmilak.   Half that was their mobile force, we wiped out.

It'll be similar to the fight for Madina - attrition most likely if they hole up and make it a pain.   But the rest of Aurvandil's regions will be relatively easy to take.

If Barca meets up with us we can probably have a nice epic battle, 20-25K vs 10K behind the walls.

10 bushels per loot would be fine, as long as it actually goes somewhere. 10 units looting for 10 bushels each is 100 bushels per turn, enough to deplete most regions' stores within a few days at most.

I believe it is sent to the Capital city (or the knights region).   I remember some text about it in Kindara, but I can't quite recall the specifics.   Have to go loot something. . .which I can't with Vallyn.

Pirates are for lowly Madinians, noblemen like D'Hara have corsairs. 

You have slow, wide transports burdened with gold to purchase your hoards of food.   

The only thieving we do is selling it to you at such an outrageous price

obviously, a True chevalier army wouldn't be defeated by pirates unless some foul play was about.

I think you'd need to be at sea to find a few pirates.

Sadly, Fissoa is all well trained troops and nobles houses, something about we're not allowed to be pirates.  Damn that pesky SMA and all.   'Tis but a minor grievance!

Now of course, Vallyn is set on reclaiming his city of Candiels.   Ah, the day I Lord once more over my rightfully earned city. . .

We are coming to get you! Plus i think we are all hero class so that should make things more interesting.

I approve a last stand.

Make sure you join Fissoa or Barca after, we'll need more players to refound the new Realm and that way you can add any RP idea's to the mix.   

Aurvandil needs to go as Mendicant's baby but the new Realm will have an influx of players hopefully.  I even hear there is a war up north!

My scouts tell me you have 4500 CS in the Tower    But yeah, you guys won't be able to fight with only 6-7 active nobles

That should make for an amusing fight. . . or you can attack us at Fatmilak.  Either works

While we'll be humoured, I'm afraid your entire force is less than Barca's - much less our mobile force.

But I'm sure we'll enjoy a few good fights, probably the Siege of Candiels will be the best.   Hopefully Barca can come down for that and have a good solid city siege.  20 or 25K cs vs the 10K or so Aurvandil has left.
