I don't think you get how this game works. remember what a pop is.  Let me describe this again.

YOU and say 1-10 of your close friends, cousins, brothers, what have you.  Have a 56 percent chance of defeating a rabble of peasants, both of you unarmed.  The rabble of peasants has anywhere between 10-50 men in it, and that's if you go charging into them.  If they attack you, you have a 67% of defeating them.

So that's 1-12 men having the better odds in a battle against 10-50 (averagely 25) men.

I fully understand. And it is quite logical if our troops  bodyguard are unarmed (And you can actually make 25 peasants to attack un welltrained force)  What I am doubting is the balance of the game, since might is way underpowerd compared to wisedom and charm.

what if I lower the peasants to.. 2 (1 would be way to low)

attacking: 1d10+6 vs 1d10+4
defending: 1d10+7 vs 1d10+3

course if your being attacked by 2 peasants

you attacking: 1d10+6 vs 2d10+8
you defending: 1d10+7 vs 2d10+6

which makes sense cause it's you and some friends vs 20-100 men.

I'm adding a few more skills to the list, you might want to rethink metallurgy for reasons I've already told you about.

edit: also flipfloping, tactics only effects people under your control, not your own rolls.

edit part deux: also fixed your battle stats.

[Ultimuh]

I kinda lost track of what is what here, have barely been reading the rules and I am a bit confused.
So.. I think I'll resign and let someone else have a chance.

[King_of_the_weasels]

edit- Not much has actually happened, you were on blue team and some people made there characters, and the blue race still is does not have a name.

Looks like Taricus is up.

[Taricus]

Right, I'll get the sheet up soon.

Also, wouldn't the fangs bonus be more of a sharp beak in the case of eaglemen?

You're not necessarily eagle men, but yeah, it's all abstract. Sharp beaks and such instead of well.. teeth.

[Taricus]

Alright, Character sheet is here. And I'm going to think of them as eaglemen anyway

edit- nothing really

[Azthor]

I will have my sheet up soon. I am also personally supportive of the increased material cost in exchange for superior bonuses you proposed earlier when I brought the matter of larger armor and weaponry up.

[Evil Marahadja]

I have/had a plan for the metallurgy thing. So I might have it anyway, but how does Alchemy work?

[King_of_the_weasels]

Some plants have magical properties which you discover by studying them, if you mix two plants with the same properties, you get a potion.

[Evil Marahadja]

Ahh, ok. For the white hexagons, how will the landscape creation work? Will the chances of it turning out like already known land (That is, stony) be high or low?

I roll a 1d4 if I roll a 4 then It's a new land type, if multiple type of lands are next to the hex then I roll for which one to pick if they are the same.
