I'll grant that the roleplay was quite in-depth. Rather insulting to presume unlikely things upon another realm's city though: Wood and earth for a stronghold? Mud and leaves for a 16k population city? Right..
The Saxons used to do this constantly. I honestly found it to be extremely distasteful and obnoxious as a player, and it's one of the things I miss the least about dealing with them.
It's possible to write wonderful RPs without basically denigrating what other players have built for themselves. It's one thing to write as though the character thinks of Barca as a backward place. It's quite another to describe it as if it
actually is that way. There's a clear distinction, and it's not hard to avoid doing.
