Helpline / Following Orders

« on: January 13, 2012, 10:01:56 PM »

I have a question, since some are saying it's against the IR/can't be done:

Can nobles be punished (fined, banished, exiled, refused promotions, etc) for not following orders from the Marshal/General?

Not something like "Head to regionx as late in turn as possible!"  but rather "Rally in regionx" and be given multiple days to do so?

Helpline / New Estate System and Religion

« on: November 10, 2011, 11:12:33 PM »

Traditionally, when a lord/duke formed a new religion, they gave up their landed nobility titles.

With the new system, what happens?  Would a duke lose both a lordship and his dukeship?  Would he lose his lordship but keep his dukeship?

I was thinking about this the other day and couldn't find anything that said it either way, so was curious as to how it was taken into account.

Helpline / Protest Options?

New local lord appointed   (25 minutes ago)
Gregor Relak, Duke of Westmoor has appointed Arica as the new Countess of Hagley.
[protest options]

This is more an idle question, but I've noticed it for awhile.  Why is there a protest button when you cannot protest anyone but the members of the Royal Council?

East Island / Standardization and EC Culture

« on: September 04, 2011, 09:46:16 PM »

So, I've been thinking about various things in the East Continent.  Regional names, cultures, heck...  Even a name for our continent beyond "East Continent" or "East Island".   I'd love to see this continent, the oldest, have a real history that makes Dwilight's pale in comparison.

Let's start with something simple:  Nationality names.  Honestly, I'm uncertain what some realms call their citizens.  I'd like to see what the "correct" terminology is to be truthful.  Let's start off with current realms, then work on historical/fallen realms later.

Caligus - Caligan
Fontan - Fontanese
Ibladesh - Ibladeshi
Obsidian Islands - Not sure here.  I've taken to call them Kalmarans, though some have called them Islanders.
Perdan - Perdanese
Sirion - Sirionite
Sultanate of Asena - Asenan
Westmoor - Westmoorian

The wiki lists some geographical features, the so-called "Major Geographical Features".   But who named them?  Why?  What real world/historical/fantasy cultures are the various realms based on?  Westmoor, for instance, I've always seen as closer to England or Brittany.  Perdan I see as more French.  So many things to look at.

Feature Requests / All Roads Lead To...

« on: September 02, 2011, 03:40:12 AM »

While I am not proposing allowing new roads to be constructed per se, I would love to see two options added:

1.  The option for region lords to invest money in road maintenance.  This would marginally increase all roads in the region.

2.  Allow knights to order their units to reconstruct a one way road.  Ex.  Westmoor to Troyes.  It would function similar to civil work, units would lose morale but the only change is that a road condition would improve.

thoughts?

Feature Requests / Wounds And Poisons

« on: August 26, 2011, 07:59:40 AM »

Since he's not posted it in these areas yet and I doubt all read the EC forums, I'm posting Chenier's suggestion here:

A compromise pleasing everyone might be attainable...

When infils are caught failing an attack, it says they are caught with a poisoned dagger. Why is this poison ignored everywhere?

Add a new status: poisoned. Poison prevents one's condition from improving (though it can worsen), and lasts for a full day on a partial assassination and two full days for a complete assassination attempt. Then, make healing overall easier, so that a wound in battle or by preaching has less odds of keeping one out of action for a week.

Personally?  I think it makes sense.  Gives assassination attempts more of an edge and it stops simple wounds (battle or preaching) from putting most people out of action from for a week or more.

Development / Donations and Titles

« on: June 01, 2011, 02:42:07 PM »

So, an adventurer contacted one of my nobles and I couldn't help but notice his signature.

"Sir".

Obviously such an honorific is inappropriate for a commoner, but what could it be replaced with to signify donor without being immersion breaking?
