Feature Requests / Re: Healers working together in a region

« on: May 30, 2011, 06:14:29 AM »

I like this suggestion, but then again, there's a number of things that units in the same region should be able to share but can't.

It wouldn't be too nice to have a system where the most practically efficient method was to make one or two people go around with no unit and only healers so they'd be the designated healers.

I don't think people will do this. As unreliable as other people are, and with the chance of them not moving out in time or getting delayed, most people will still bring their own healers in order to have reliable support.

Yes, I agree, it should be on the Wiki. I have one last topic. How much does it take to feed your troops when moving through starving areas? Is there a certain bushel-to-troop ratio? Can you only feed your own troops?

Thanks for the help so far. How many peasants does 1 bushel of food feed?

Helpline / Questions about Region Statistics

« on: May 29, 2011, 12:41:49 AM »

I'm the lord of a particular region on Dwilight, and, like all regions, it lists the following statistics on the region page:
Gold:       113 gold
Food:       96 bushels
I don't understand what these two things are supposed to indicate. Is it gold/food production? Supply? Neither of those things make sense given the other information I know about my region. Could someone explain to me what they are? A forum search turned up nothing, and the wiki is largely useless.

Feature Requests / Messages "from today" should start at sunrise.

« on: May 27, 2011, 03:06:27 AM »

Currently, it's possible to select to read messages "from today" and have it come up completely blank. Apparently, this is because "from today" means from a certain server time rather than from the in-game perspective of time.

I propose that checking messages "from today" should check everything from sunrise on and start over at the next sunrise. Similarly, "from yesterday" should check everything from the previous sunrise on.

Helpline / Family Page Problems

I'm having some difficulty with my family page. I want to edit my user data, but when I click on "Edit Data," I only get a blank page. I've tried different browsers, and it happens to each one.

BM General Discussion / Re: Expecting the wrong type of Roleplaying game

« on: May 10, 2011, 11:24:23 PM »

I have something I want to say about the roleplay I've seen lately. I don't like page after page of illiterate or pretentious "roleplay" -- especially if it's not something that people can respond to. Some people seem to be under the impression that roleplay consists of thinly-disguised religious/philosophical treatises or lengthy inner monologues regarding a characters' feelings on battle. (This isn't a single-player jRPG.) These posts are, quite frankly, tedious to read. How about something practical and tangible -- i.e., with very few feelings or thoughts -- such as: working in groups to destroy fortifications, looting and plundering, interacting with the army and one's lieges, etc.?

Roleplay is collaborative. In my opinion, it should be brief, it should be concise, it should be tangible, and it should allow others the chance to join in or respond.

Dwilight / Re: Dwilight IC and OOC updates and news!

I thought so. I can't believe the size of the combined armies. I almost feel sorry for Averoth.

Almost.

I can post some general statistics about numbers of men and CS, if people are interested (and if it's allowed).

Morek and Astrum are invading Averoth. I know, it's not exactly exciting, but it's a necessary bit of housekeeping that has been put off too long.

I feel compelled to ask... is this one of the largest assemblages of forces ever seen in this part of Dwilight? I don't know much about the history of actual battle details in this part of the world.

Hey, I was browsing the wiki and saw that the entry for "Book of Daimon Banishing" was pretty much empty. I really want to know more about this thing, because I got a mysterious message and found one. A search in the forums for information turned up nothing.
