Helpline / Evading Battle
« on: December 05, 2012, 06:47:48 PM »
No Battle in Anacan (25 minutes ago)
Battle preparations were made in Anacan, but no battle took place because the following units successfully evaded combat: The Men of the Banner
***
Does this mean that someone's unit was set to murderous? So there WOULD have been battle for certain if my unit hadn't evaded combat?
I'm in Cathay's capital with an Arcaean; we're allied, so murderous is the only setting that would cause battle, correct?

I remember Septimius' death; it happened shortly after I joined the game. I really regret my old account's vanishing during my period of absence, or I'd still have a character around to talk about those days. Septimius was a fun martyr figure.

Wait, they'd have to build a new throne? What happened to the cool old one with the skulls of Jenred's enemies on it?

Kinda a shame that there's a separate message group for all this. Astrum looks kinda empty right now.

Yes; *can* I realistically stop being a small realm, too.

To be honest, given that Battlemaster involves battles, there is a serious existential question that realms too small to go to war have to answer.

Haha, good point... I suppose that just shows the limitations of a message reminder

How about some form of notification when a player's rank in a religion entails some debt? (Or, maybe even better and more flexible, a customisable message per rank that's sent whenever someone's promoted.)
Right now, it doesn't seem to me that many players even notice whether they're racking up debt in a religion or not. There are pretty much no consequences that I've seen.
Yes, this is stuff that could potentially be done with the message system by a bunch of very active and attentive priests, who keep on top of when people sign up, and always follow up promotions with personal messages outlining duties. But that's not happening. This would be a useful RP tool, to ensure stronger obligations.
Edit: Also, stronger consequences for debt?

Lords should definitely be able to claim the land back. But the church is going to hate that, and any local peasantry of that faith will be very upset; the trick is to make it sufficiently hard for the lord to claim it back, without making it impossible.
I love this idea. It creates another mechanism for conflict. It gives religion a way to gain power, to create an incentive for people to be involved. And, bonus, it's historical roots are absolutely authentic.

Actually, what am I saying, my character on Far East Island was an elder priest of MAE, and made fairly substantial additions and changes to the faith. New rituals and ceremonies, new religious iconography, new theological doctrines...
It is harder to work with existing material (while respecting others' previous work) than to create your own theology from scratch, I agree. On the other hand, there's much more motivation to engage with an existing body of theology and worshippers.
Edit: And this was all long after the founder, and subsequent dignitaries, had basically lost interest.

Not that it is exactly the most powerful of religions, but I believe Verdis Elementum on Dwilight has survived its founder's departure.
