It's no bug, not with all the Game Master RP build up.

It's a clear sign from the Gods that the people of Xavax does not get to have any friends on our borders. Because now our peasants will attack the ones we like while our armies attack the ones we don't.

To be fair, my peasants have been pretty much making this 3-on-1 war a 2-on-1.

How in the absolute hell is that number even possible?

Guess I rejoined in time to watch the game screw Xavax.

I really hope the Caligans do the honorable, honest thing and park that army until the bug is resolved.

Anything else would be a gross abuse of mechanics, and thus cheating.

Willful use of a bug or glitch is wrong.

If it were Xavax, I'd make sure it isn't abused.

We may be gamers, but we must be civil.

You read it backwards, it's Xavax that supposedly has that Han Dynasty sized army, not Caligus. We don't have any nobles in that region that I'm aware of either, that just popped out of nowhere flying our flag and roflstomped a neutral party.

Edit: apparently another appeared in Fallengard's region of Leibo, they're HUGE peasant mobs. It might be an effect of the Light beacon that appeared in Isadril.

I can't be the only one amused by this glitch, right? That's a damn lot of men just suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

Giblot Magnum... Magnum reminds me of ice cream, yummy
Wondering how they chose the name.

Reminds me of condoms.  The guy who named it seems to have a thing for the Roman era, given the name of his family and characters, the word is derived from Latin word for "Great".

Perleone,
Perleone,
With Greater Xavax you wished to fight,
Where has your honor gone?
The Peasants of Pesh put your army to flight!
Perleone,
Perleone,
Cowards in both word and deed!
In the great forest before our scythes,
King Deklan's manhood wilted like a weed!
Perleone,
Perleone,
So says all of Oc Lu Pesh,
Come back again and instead of wheat,
it will be your soldiers we thresh!


Well, I never claimed to be a poet...

BM General Discussion / Re: Militia Sucks

« on: February 29, 2016, 07:53:23 PM »

The simplest method of "fixing" militia that I can think of is making them count toward population when calculating how much food is consumed in the region per turn (with the possibility of going over the regions max pop.). Then it becomes a matter of balance, as even a region that normally produces a surplus will eventually run into a deficit if enough militia is piled in.

Personally, I never saw a problem with militia. Skilled infiltrator attacks, starvation tactics, and simple smashing with mobile troops make them more a speed bump than a threat.

I kind of wish I had the option to have done it. It could have made for some interesting Roleplaying in Xavax as I'm sure a few of my fellow "loyalists" (like Reyjkovik and Odwella) would probably have supported my claim, while I'm sure Sayuki (and maybe Iuz) would have screamed bloody murder, all the while it would put Xerarch Selenia in a spot trying to keep balance between the two developing factions.

Your point being? A vassal supporting his lord is a perfectly good reason, and one that doesn't need some RP in advance.

From the previous page:

Noone, everyone involved in the rebellion were vocally against the Xerarch for a while, this wasn't something that came out of nowhere, nor did it involve lazy roleplay.

I was pointing out that was completely untrue, other than the two I specifically mentioned, none of the nobles were vocal in their opposition of Magnus. Sorry the truth goes against the picture you're trying to paint. In fact, at least one of the rebels never spoke a word the entire time I've been there, let alone been "vocally against the Xerarch for a while".

Honestly you seem to just be in here because you want to be on the "right side" ICly, an impossible position from an RP perspective. My point has been that the issue is the amount of OOC commentary by Aurea IG.

Honestly, for someone who claimed that my first post in this thread was a "pretty one-sided view of it" you've spent a lot of time and energy trying to give the impression that the entire 30+ nobles of Xavax was supportive of the rebellion instead of all but two of the rebels being the lord and knights from one region (the exceptions being Kellan and John Graves), the latter of which could very well fall into the description Noone gave of a character that "clicks a button without even the courtesy of a small RP about why". It has nothing to do with being on the "right side ICly" since I don't post to the forum ICly, I just want to provide an accurate description of what happened for those interested.

Of the seven rebels I only saw Grathe Geg and Kellan Dodger publicly speak out against Magnus before the rebellion. Calis S'llesid made it clear that the only reason he joined was to support his lord, as did Jadyn Jaron. Ventes Shulee joined because he wanted all the positions of Xavax to become elected. John Graves gave no public reason at all (and tried to steal tax gold right after joining, failed, and got jailed). In fact I have no record of Graves ever saying anything from my time in the realm. Iuz Vidar Crownguard, the leader of the rebellion, I'll quote:

Letter from Iuz Vidar Crownguard   (9 days, 7 hours ago)
Message sent to all nobles of the duchy of Isadril (8 recipients)

Nobles of the Duchy of Isadril,

I encourage you to vote in the referendums. Even it is simply to abstain. Vote your true opinion, not one you feel you have been bullied into or believe your liege favors. This is open to everyone and in this particular case, it matters.

The realm cannot fracture, no matter what. I'll eat my hat before that happens. It is unfortunate that it has come to this where Xavax is hostile towards Xavax and I hope it is all laid to rest quickly. After these referendums are completed any dissent should be laid to rest across the board.

Respectfully,
Iuz Vidar Crownguard
Duke of Isadril
Margrave of Isadril

Two days later he started the rebellion. I'm sure there were talks going on behind the scenes, to say they were all vocally against the Xerarch is flat out untrue.

Incorrect. Oh Selenia was definitely agreeing with you that something had to be done, and she explicitly supported action against the Xerarch. Here, just to jog your memory since that hit Reyjkovik gave Kellan must have corrupted some files...

As a player, i hate the thought of loosing other active players for pretty much any reason. i'd rather work with and roleplay through it.

And Selenia is old enough to be Magnus's mother...

As if that ever stopped nobility before.

I had a character on Atamara once, for a day in 2007. As far as being a "white knight sheep character" goes, that's a first for me. But hey, if Sayuki is unsatisfied with the way things are going in Xavax, he's free to return to Alara, I'm sure they'll be happy the have him back.

yeah too bad for xavax. totally screwed realm. none of the loyalists even supported magnus really, they were all like "well i really dont like magnus but... status quo!"

so punk selenia joined the loyalists huh... what a punk move.

i told both dukes both ooc and ic that if they wanted, we could rebel, and if either of them told me no i would just move to a different realm. both dukes gave their approval and promised support for a rebellion. after the rebellion started jevondair pulled some compromise crap and now i guess has sided with the loyalists. if selenia had done what she and her player said she would the rebellion would have won quickly and not turned into the dragged out crapfest it became. dont ever trust that family.

why was the duel a bs move?

To be fair to Selenia, s/he's roleplaying the character. She was getting letters from the start of the rebellion from both sides, and since her ultimate goal was getting Magnus to step down, once he agreed there was no reason for her to join the rebellion. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I don't get the BS comment either, maybe because without Dodger the rebellion lost a lot of it's fire.

Maybe they're doing it out of spite :p
Odwella did/does, actually. Though I will admit his amount of messages is a bit tiresome at times.

Likewise in Aramon's case, he didn't mind Magnus but found the rebels annoying, like whiny little brats.

Yeah, no. Several of the loyalists you claim joined before Duchess Selenia joined aftewards. And honestly that was a pretty bull!@#$ move with the duel. But yeah, congrats on supporting an idiot who praises the old ruler of CE, the same one that helped sink that continent and refused to fight Tara after they declared war on CE. Especially after the !@#$ing unnecessary OOC stuff the ruler keeps bleeding into IC. Frankly I'm appalled that you all even still support him.

Yeah, no. You obviously haven't been paying attention. I was the sixth loyalist (Aramon Abjur). Before me was Magnus, Odwella, Reyjkovik III, Ruslan, and Uthred.

10 Loyalists (before Duchess Selenia and her 5 vassals joined), 7 rebels, and 7 Neutral/Undecided Nobles. It's not the loyalist's fault that the rebel's failed to sell their reasons to the average noble. I suppose they can claim Magnus stepping down as a morale victory, but as far as the rebellion goes, it's a failure.
