Discussion: Other Civilizations (regions thread unlocked)

[Ravenspath]

So could we split a larger region in two and have the two be warring, different governments, different totems etc? I just want this to be clear going forward.

[Poseptune]

Xathan just asked about spliting to create a relationship between two nations. The answer to his question was yes.

So in answer to your question.

Warring would be a relationship so yes.

They are two different nations, thus can they have different govenrment types. There is nothing stoping you from making them the same either.

Religions, yes they can have two different religions (that could be why they are warring, one may be a totem nation, while the other is an idea nation). Again there is nothing stoping you from making them the same either.

It would be basically spliting a larger region into two regions and working on them simultaneously. That is why I am only allowing one per member, and members are not required to use this spliting of regions. I for one probably won't.

The large regions would be regions 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34, 35, and 36, with 6, 7, 9, 10, and 13 being borderline.

Just so it is on this page.

I am going to be opening up select soon (sometime within the next 72 hours). I am compiling the questions and answers here into the guidelines.

I just want to know if this is understandable and fair.

10. If you choose a large region, you be allowed to split it to create a relationship between two civilizations. The limit will be one per member and only two different civilizations can be made from one large region. Small kingdoms that all share an allegiance to one king is fine since they all have a supreme ruler, free travel and trade, and all have the same totems. They are basically one nation, like early Greece. Two warring city-states that have a temporary peace (Earlier Athens and Sparta) are two different nations.

damnit unlock the selection thread! grrragh...

[Poseptune]

Thread is unlocked.....

[Túrin]

Cool.

On a sidenote, should we create a recommended format end/or list of what info each entry MUST include?

[Poseptune]

Everyone is different, so I didn't make format a requirement. But if someone comes up with a fomart everyone likes then we can make it the standard.

[Poseptune]

As for what MUST be present in each entry. I would think:

[] <--- optional, but can add flavor

Region number (for easy lookup)

Name of Civilization

Dominant race(s)

Type of Government

Religion (since it seems to be a main theme in Cebegia)
--- [Worship methods]
--- [Important days]
--- [Other minor religions in your region]

Exports may be important for a person developing in a region near you.

Important Indsutries

Lifestyle of the populus

[Power groups]

[Major settlements]

[Important NPCs]



For drawing you map: Dots or squares representing cities and towns are fine for the artisticly challenged (like myself). Lines for roads. or anything that can give a rough representation of your region. When they are all complete someone can take those regions and draw things onto the main map based off the regional maps.

MittenNinja, the list above was just an answer to Turin's question. You didn't need to put those in your selection post. I was just pointing out important subjects that should be fleshed out.

[MittenNinja]

Ah gotcha.

[Poseptune]

Oh yes I forgot to mention as I am updating the list, I am linking to your selection post so that it will be easier to find your post later on and edit it. :)

[MittenNinja]

So, question.
Are we supposed to flesh out the region within the post on the same page as the selection? Or do we start another thread to flesh everything out?

[Poseptune]

Whenever you have something to post Finished/Completed Region or still in progress. Edit your region selection post. This way they are all in the same place and easily searchable. That is the main reason I want to keep that thread neat and clean.

Comments on the regions should be made here. You can also use this thread to ask for help, or ask for reviews. Just post the region number and (if the thread stays clean) they can click on the link at that number in the first post to get to your region.

Yogurt: Here is an example list of Totems from te welcome thread. You can make up your own.

Example Totem List:
The Tarrasque : Strength, Destruction, Chaos
The Rings of Cebegia : Magic, Knowledge, Protection
Volcano : Fire, Earth, Destruction
Kraken : Water, Animal, Travel
Sun : Law, Sun, Good

[Ravenspath]

Is there a time limit on selecting threads before you can select two? I want to make sure everyone who wants one can get one, but at the same time I wouldn't mind developing one near the region I have selected so that I can play the two off each other.

I'm not suggesting that multiple regions be opened yet, but that we may want to set a time for when the can be opened.
