Luria Nova vs the rest (bis)

[Indirik]

B) have collapsed in player population to the point where they have more regions than players

Regardless of the other claims, of which I really don't have much to comment, this isn't true.

Only two realms on Dwilight have more regions than nobles: Astrum and Morek. Fissoa has 1.4 nobles per region, and D'Hara is among the highest in the game at 2.6. Even Swordfell has 1.44.

Both Fissoa and D'Hara have lost regions, but so has Luria.

One thing I always wondered, is why those displaced nobles from Barca/Asylon, etc. haven't teamed up with Morek to colonize Poryatown. Morek took the city without even breaking a sweat. A quick duchy appoint appointment ans secession, and Luria has a big problem right in their own backyard. And it's not like Morek can't afford to equip a few dozen nobles to the teeth with a few hundred soldiers each, and then hand them each a couple thousand bonds to buy militia.

When did Morek take Poryatown? They seem to always just take and get defeated in Poryatu.

Yesterday only, it was bought.

Really? I don't remember the last time an enemy city was bought, I didn't think it was still possible...

[Indirik]

Apparently it still is.

A wasted opportunity.

I wasn't saying that every realm was suffering that specific problem. Please, reread my comment. I clearly prefaced the list of issues with "either", meaning that the the realms in question applied to one of the points. There was also one point that applied to realms that had multiple issues.

Barca was busy with all of Luria between us and Poraytown and then being beaten up by Luria. If we'd known you could still buy duchies maybe we should have bought Sun Hall. Barca also had closesr ties to D'Hara and Fissoa than it did Morek. I doubt moving to Poraytown would have changed much, although that would have been neat.

I tried asking Ambassador Seoras that if he really was so upset about us being in Sun Hall we'd take Poraytown instead and happily make peace, but he had no useful reply to that.

You don't buy duchies, only cities.

[Ossan]

Shinnen then.

I still fondly remember the realm of "I Can't Believe its Not Butter!" in Atamara.

I'm confused... outside of Luria there's nowhere else you can go and found a realm? There's no huge swathes of empty lands say 2,000 miles to the North?

[Indirik]

Nope. It's all full.

Right, because it would have been so easy for Barca to fund a large enough army to march north through Luria and Swordfell into Morek when Luria could easily send a larger army to stop us or just invade Aveston while we are gone (of course I am sure if we asked nicely Luria would agree to help, because they have proven to be the friendliest and most trustful nation ever). Not too mention how easy it would be to find an IC reason for Barca to break its alliance with Morek and march far away from its two closest allies. Great plan, can't believe it never occurred to anyone before now.

You can travel by sea. Best to colonize Morek now before you are competing with the multiple other colonies trying to get up there.

Did you ignore the allies bit?

[Ossan]

And apparently missed the "Barca was destroyed by Luria" part too :p
