Kingdom of Alara

I think theocracies of SA matched CE in strength and influence.

If you could have 2 char on dwi, they would have had stretched even farther south.

I said "will reach" as in, in the future. I doubt anyone would now ever reach those levels again (fortunately).

That is my dream for Xavax. I doubt it'll come to be, unless fortune is on our side, but a dream is always worth having.

If your dream is to leave a legacy of a third dull and enjoyment strangling example of how to bore a server then by all means bend your hopes in their footsteps.

Exactly, CE is basically the main cause of Atamara's sinking. Don't follow their example.

Yeah building a strong, imperialistic realm is fine, just keep in mind that you want to leave openings for wars and keep creating them because stagnation is BAD in this game for player fun and retention.

[JDodger]

you also may want to have less ideas and more implementation.

[GundamMerc]

Can we talk about Alara? Oh and can Alara not declare a war for 2 days?

[Zakilevo]

Well.. I must say it was my dream at one point as well. I only realized how horrible my dream was *when* Sirion expanded to Oligarch.

I think there are many players who want to build an empire only to realize later that they've been playing the game wrong ;)

[JDodger]

the xavax talk should be split off to its own thread, we definitely hijacked this one.

Fixed it!

And yeah, I've tried it before as well, but always seemed to fail (was attempting to build a theocracy empire with Sartania for instance). Tbh I wouldn't try it in that way, although I do have some other ideas for 'world domination' type of play that allows for a lot of fun and will ultimately lead to my own destruction no doubt :)

[Ehndras]

Yeah, true. Major hijack. Sorry!

So, Alaran brothers, how fareth the world thru your eyes?

[Zakilevo]

I think there were threads about allowing duchies to war each other. That got shot down though.

If you really want it, I think you can form an empire out of multiple realms - can hold them together by using a guild - and think of each realm as a very large duchy. There you go you have your duchy wars now \o/

[Ehndras]

That's more-or-less what I plan for Xavax. I don't intend for a stagnant super-power like Cagil was. Those who know me are aware that I enjoy building super-powers then shattering them into divergent factions once we've had our fun. Chaos is a built-in requirement in anything I do. What comes up must come down in a blaze of glory!

Keeping things "dynamic" without devolving into randomness or silly is very difficult. Wars need to have a reason, and that reason can't just be "we needed a war, so let's fight". If you just declare random wars for no reason, or obviously fake reasons, people will get angry, and you'll just end up getting wiped out by your neighbors. You need to find a way to declare meaningful, limited wars. It's HARD to do.
