East Island / Highmarch's Betrayal ---- What next???

« on: July 04, 2018, 11:12:10 AM »

Since there was so much arguing going on IC I thought it would be nice to allow people to vent on the much slower paced forums.

What will happen to the momentum of the war now?

When will peace be made?

Why did Highmarch do it?

And more.

Not for lords, just knights. Isadril needs a knight and together we can beat all those knightless lords out there.

I sent the map to you privately, but I'll share it here too in case anyone wanted it for any reason.

I have that, that's what I used to make the map image.

I made it from scratch.

Speaking of, I just finished doing a remake of the old Beluaterra/Atamara map, and a screenshot-patchwork copy, which can then be easily fixed up to look like the current Beluaterra. It's just over 2500x2600 pixels, the original size of the Atamara map, so it can be scaled to that depending on how you want it lined up.

Let me know if anyone wants the scenario file. Current edition of the jpg is up on the wiki, will try to compress it more without losing quality. Any tips would be helpful, I'm using GIMP.

Just so we're clear it is only BT that needs to be done?

Dwlight: Done
East Continent: Done
Colonies: Done
South Island: Done
Beluaterra: In the works
Atamara/Old Beluaterra: not done
Far East Island: not done

Obviously those last two are of less importance given their continents do not exist.

Well this is something! What an interesting idea.

Do you have any particular idea about format or length? And what about the level of quality we're looking at? I'm happy to contribute something, absolutely.

Here's something to wet the appetites of those who weren't present. The wind really favoured the North's advantage in infantry, but the archers carried the day still.

Feature Requests / Re: Remove magic from EC (Stable)

« on: May 26, 2018, 07:17:43 AM »

A plan is being drawn up to significantly reduce the effects of magic on the EC, and slightly reduce it on other continents.

Thank you for the time and effort.

Agreed with this, particularly on EC. I do think some kind of IC solution as Gabanus is proposing;

*Edit, RP wise I'm more than happy to open a portal myself and throw all my scrolls in, have several, and pray for magic to be gone from tge world entirely.

... is a very nice solution to this, or at least to the incident that has initiated this call for change.

East Island / Re: Magical Events in Bescanon & Surrounding Regions

« on: May 25, 2018, 09:22:13 AM »

When I recommended that what be done be done regarding the portal stones, I really wasn't imagining that something of this magnitude would happen. A bit of magic here and there, someone getting hit by a spark might make sense, but this goes beyond what is feasible IC to something that has dramatically affected the course of war and politics on the EC.

The walls in Perdan were moved to Meuse, a location that can't sustain much in the way of militia and doesn't need the walls. It is kind of funny that they are there, but the implications are massive in terms of what can happen now because not just Perdan but Bescanon no longer have their walls, and that Troyes now does have walls. All of this happening while two massive armies of approx. 20kCS each are facing off against each other between Bescanon and Troyes. As for the RCs moving, some of them were destroyed including the best RC that Perdan had.

There is also a great deal of political maneuvering going on regarding the region at this point.

EC is the only normal server that remains PvP... Or so I thought until portals popped up. It is the only island where Old BM of interstate wars with is still happening. Heavy magic does not belong on EC. There is enough PvP interaction on EC without adding in these sorts of manual interventions.

I'll echo this point by Lefanis and add that after the FEI and Atamara were sunk it threw the balance of islands heavily in the favour of monster/magic dominated ones.

BM General Discussion / Re: Five years gone, whats changed?

« on: December 26, 2017, 02:16:23 PM »

I've noticed the UI is a lot better than it used to be, although it is sad so many files were lost. I keep finding broken links all over the place in the wiki, which is a shame given how much information is there. I notice a few of the continents have been cut down too to deal with the smaller player base.

Welcome back, stranger Plenty has changed, quite frankly don't know where to begin! Can't pull up your user ID, what name did you go by? (Perhaps the admins can find you in the data files?)

First off, what realms were you a part of? You'll likely get a kick out of their ultimate fates, spinoffs, and the like.

My old ID had been cleared out a while ago, I was the Haerthorne family on that as well, mainly in Arcaea though I spent some time in a few realms on the Far East, Beluaterra and Dwilight. I thought about going with a new family, but the old one is somewhat comforting to go by.

Is there still any work that needs to be done on this?
