Ignoring RPing, I have a gameplay-mechanic question: why do you have to recruit a minimum of five men? Why can't I round out my 21-man force to its maximum of 24?

Hm. Recruiting enough to max yourself out should be possible, regardless of how few men it takes. I'll have to look into that bug.

It says "or the maximum possible", but that refers to the number of men available to recruit, not how many your noble can recruit.

For example, let's say there are fifteen men available, the noble can field 32, and has 29. The maximum given refers to the fifteen, not the three.

Yeah; it's supposed to work with either.

(I should know; I wrote that code—though it's clearly since been messed with. ;D )

I figure I'll give this game a whirl, what server are most Bay12er's on?

OK, I have to reload the save.
There was a bit of a problem regarding flashfreezing, a ballistae, and a barrel of dwarven ale. Gonna fix it up.

Dwilight, its the serious RP atmosphere server,  you don't really have to RP, just don't be too un-noble-ish(OOC/Meta) and you should be fine.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up, is there any tips you can give me for my first turn or so, that you wished someone had told you?  Or really anything that would be helpful.

Post a umm...  greeting message of some sort.  Find an estate.  Estates are your primary source of income.  Though, you will technically be serving under the lord of that estate/region.
Prime real estate tends be near the capital/duchy, since they are the most stable...  and you are less likely need to help to maintain it.  Needless to say, a bigger share of the land is ideal, but yea, you gotta look at the regional income too.  I'm probably going over your head with this... but, you'll understand once you see it for yourself, if not sooner or later.

If you need a breakdown on basic continental politics, there are a number of folks you can ask. :) There is no harm in joining a new realm if you don't like your first one, my first realm was some little nation in the middle of nowhere in Far East, I gave a try with my main character on Dwilight and never looked back.

Alright, I started playing on Dwilight, and I'm a noble of Iashular.  Are any of you guys part of this empire?  I'm guessing not likely since there aren't too many of us, but hey, might as well ask.

Heh, my main was originally in Fontan on the EC. I created Alna on Dwilight as a side character.

Then, of course, Fontan collapsed and Rosnan emigrated to Beluaterra. Beluaterra has got to be the worst continent. After that dumbass little blight thing, there's nothing interesting to do, and all the land is too poor for any noble to become wealthy enough to field >10 soldiers. I'm glad I made Ros an infiltrator. He can earn more loot in one raid on some band of rebels than in two weeks of taxes.

So Alna is my main now... and that place has been reaffirmed with her election as lord (lady?).

Good grief, where are you on BT?

I'm Lord of a relatively modest rural region in Riombara, and I have a vacant estate that would pay you at least 90 gold/week. Come to Ajitmon; you won't get rich, but at least you'll be better off than wherever you're stuck now...

Yeah, BM is kinda dull unless you're at war or in a group of folk that RP's their asses off.  Every continent except Dwilight and BT is non-RP, so that narrows the choices.

War in BT was recently averted through diplomacy, so it's kinda dull there right now unless you're connected enough to muck around with scrolls.  On the other hand, it's because all the adventurers are off gathering items for those scrolls that undead and monster outbreaks are really common.  My noble in BT has more honor and leadership than my one in Dwilight (a Summerdale/Luria vet!) because I've basically been fighting outbreaks every other turn.  Also alot of the battlefield provinces are still underpopulated from the Blight, so we're also fighting those outbreaks on a shoestring budget in many cases.

It's mainly about knowing which Realm to pick on Dwilight and BT.  The map is full (barring colonizing wasteland provinces), so Realms really can't do anything without going to war with other Realms or themselves.  Hence unless you like !!FUN!! or waiting for !!FUN!! to happen, you'll enjoy BM most if you're in one of the larger Realms on Dwilight.

As for following global politics, the BM Facebook page has been pretty good as of late:

"From Dwilight: Consul Brom Silverfire withdraws from the election for the Regency of Sanguis Astroism following allegations that his wife, Luminary Allison Kabrinski, has attempted to use bribery to convince other Elders to vote for her husband. Guardian Stalwart Mordaunt Lefanis, the sole remaining candidate for the Regency, is proclaimed the victor.

In related news, Duchess Allison Kabrinski is later banished from her namesake realm, which she founded, for conduct unbecoming of such a high-ranking noble. The banishment is proclaimed by her own husband, Prince Brom Silverfire."

Some Lurians really should start posting there.  We just put down an emerging coup from a high-profile Duke, and are finally ROFLstomping the Vesperi.

How do you move characters between continents?  I was thinking of creating another noble in Dwilight, but apperently I can only have two(?) at a time there.  So I was thinking of creating another noble on a different server and moving to Beluaterra.  I hear that's pretty good for some RP-ing goodness.

You can only ever have one active noble on Dwilight. You can also create an adventurer there, if you want.

Nobles can emigrate from one continent to another from any port.

Technically, Outer Tilog in the Colonies(half speed server) does RP.  But the island as a whole acts in a pretty meta fashion and given a few months, there will be 2 less realms, where-in the island will become a realm of 3, who have been traditionally allied together for years...  nice place to just build up coin with little effort though.
