Dwilight / Re: Plans you have for if the war ends...

Are they nobles? Or modern day politicians

It is of course possible, and the longer the war drags on the more possible it will become. Right now it appears everyone is united in the concept of no man left behind though.

There seems to be enough interest inside the League for doing anything besides continue fighting Luria that it isn't necessarily so far off.

The war hasn't been bad to Luria, it is the league that is tired of the war. And, the league has primarily been fighting on Lurian soil since the post-invasion period began. As seen up north, that isn't the case anymore.

So, some members of the League might decide its preferable to come to the table and cut a deal.

Offers have been made to at least one realm. It's hard to negotiate when rulers keep disappearing.

Wiki / dwilight wiki cleanup

« on: January 15, 2015, 04:30:11 AM »

I'm not sure how to fix these issues for the Dwilight page on the wiki:

Under Realms: Fissoa shows up twice on the realm list, as the Grand Duchy of Fissoa and also as the Maritime Kingdom of Fissoa. Grand Duchy of Fissoa is what shows up on their realm page. There is a redirect setup from Maritime Kingdom of Fissoa to the GDoF page, but should the realm page use the short name of 'Fissoa' instead of the longer name? Seems like using the short name is the desired wiki-style.

Under religions: Torus Renatus shows up as an active religion despite me adding the Lost Religions template to the page...Is it because of the infobox being used?

Just doing our part to help Morek get to a 1:1 noble/region ratio.

But, there are so many available for purchase.

Helpline / no realm notification when purchased region joins realm?

« on: January 13, 2015, 05:19:19 AM »

Some regions in Dwilight joined Luria Nova by paying off the local officials. At least I presume so since my character in LN got no notice of any kind when they switched from Morek to LN. Is that intended, or should I post it on the bug tracker?

If so, what category would this fall under?

Jorradith & Aquitain got mis-marked as east on your spreadsheet.

The two islands (Dizeddo, Libiddo, Libidizedd) & (Valkyrja, Yggdramir) should also be marked as west since they have been rogue since the invasion. I don't know 100% if the Dev's consider them as part of the west, but my impression is that attempts to recover them have failed.

Date	Nobles	Regions	Density
5 May 2013	383	238	1.61
1 March 2014	281	133	2.11
16 August 2014	205	133	1.54
1 January 2015	175	133	1.32

Where do you get 133 regions from? Shouldn't it be 125? (or 124, I don't recall when Smokey Hills was recovered from the Rogues).

The Trader subclass is rarely used (only 1 on Dwilight out of 233 characters). I wouldn't imagine it being highly used on other islands.

Warrior is needed and necessary (or some equivalent). The other classes/subclasses are the ones in need of more of a look in my mind and it helps to think about the skills associated with each class:

Warrior (Swordfighting, Jousting, Leadership)
Courtier (Bureaucracy)
Priest (Oratory)

Subclasses:
Hero
Cavalier
Infiltrator (Infiltration) - swordfighting comes from warrior and not infiltrator right? can a courtier/infiltrator train swordfighting at the academy?
Trader (Trading)
Diplomat/Ambassador (Oratory)

BM General Discussion / Re: Seasons

« on: January 07, 2015, 02:23:48 AM »

I like seasons, but on Dwilight the travel times become too much.

I wouldn't mind different seasonal effects based on region type. Deserts for instance might not be affected the same way as other regions ...

...

Distance which can be broken down into different factors.

• Travel times: Pretty straightforward, travel times between regions could possibly be universally reduced, say by 20% or any other number. This would mostly help reduce the impact of the continent's major geographic barriers (deserts and mountains), as one still can't move more than 1 region per turn, no matter how small the travel time.
• Troop morale & wear: Distance from realm can incur serious morale loss, stacked on top of high equipment wear. Reducing wear from travel and morale penalties can help realms be effective afar.
• Sea zones: the travel system is unintuitive. The sea zone limits are as well. Aside from the tweaks proposed of allowing one to turn back and the like, one could make it so that all sea zones take exactly 1 turn to travel, and the borders could be re-drawn to minimize zigzag paths the current ones favor. I had already proposed better sea zone limits some time back, I could dig these back up.
• Seasons: the travel penalties could be revisited. I don't think BM really has a Scandinavian climate, so the travel modifies don't need to act as if the troops must cross through two meters of snow.

...

Re-drawing the sea zones is probably too time consuming to happen, but if the travel options were fleshed out and the speed increased maybe 10% it would help.

I completely agree on winter needing to be revamped. The travel times get ridiculous, especially in regions with bad roads. I would prefer to have the winter travel times make all regions act as if the roads were bad instead of stacking on top of road condition penalties.

Regarding the second, you can pick an estate before starting. I can not recall where you start though. Might be the capitol and it might be elsewhere. Where never bothered me much to be honest.

To the best of my knowledge you start in the region your estate is. Would be nice to be able to choose to start off in the capital or your home region. But, the feature I'd really like to have (back) is the ability to take an estate without being in the region. If a region lord could offer an empty estate to a estate-less noble that would ease one of the annoyances of the game.

Dwilight / Dwilight Wiki

« on: December 10, 2014, 09:31:35 AM »

I was working on the Dwilight wiki pages and wondered if others could provide some information about two faiths listed as active religions:

Was Torus Renatus ever actually founded as a religion on Dwilight? Wondering if I can safely mark it as an inactive religion.
What about the Cult of the Bear Lords? Any information that can be shared ? Currently it is a link to a blank page.
