Adventurers are a kind of "monster and undead prevention". If adventurers hunt monsters and undead in regions before they grow strong enough to form enemy units, then nobles don't have to deal with them and are relieved of that duty. Also, adventurers find unique magic items that they can sell to nobles. They can also find sages to repair these items. If an adventurer manages to get 3 recommendations from nobles, he can advance into the rank of a noble himself. There are several guilds for adventurers where they can combine their efforts and also tell each other about sage locations. Even if that sounds exciting, I didn't find it as exciting as it sounded, lol. But tastes are different, you can always try it out, maybe you'll like it.

Ha, they can't make me lord of more than one region. And the one I have is already pretty nice. There should hopefully be some new estates available as soon as two certain lords open them in their regions. Probably your character didn't have much contact with those lords so far, though. Maybe he finds out they're trustworthy, too. And if not - he can still run to Andira then and beg for a better lord, hehe.

Huh, might have to try the adventurer thing out sometime. It does sound interesting. Happy with what I'm doing now for the moment, though.

I might take you up on the offer to run back to Andira and beg for better lords to serve, we'll see.   So far everyone seems to be quite nice, so I probably won't have any problems. I always figured that if I didn't like Summerland, I could try a Rebellion of One and see how many hours I live. For Fun, you know.

But I like it. Already lots of interesting things happening in the area. And everyone's friendly with the new guys.

As a noble in the Libero Empire:

Please stop hurting us, Summerdale?

[ansontan2000]

No can do AussieGuy. No hard feelings? (I can't talk for everyone else though )

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Aussieguy, when we inevitably destroy your empire we will take pity upon ye

[Andira]

AussieGuy, don't make me feel bad with your sad smiley, that's not fair!

SeaBee, I'm really glad you're enjoying the game and our realm.

As a noble in the Libero Empire:

Please stop hurting us, Summerdale?

Gimme my homeland back, first 

Edit: And besides, it's not our fault Libero nobles keep attacking us by all by themselves!

[Urist McScoopbeard]

To quote sean penn "YOU DICK [Libero Empire}!!!"

Unfortunately this conflict is pretty lopsided, because of the sudden huge influx on the Summerdale side.

Kind of a case of out of game factors having a bit of a negative impact on a roleplaying game.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

don't worry this'll be rped till the end

[Bael]

Well, they did declare war when they had about 10 nobles, or something ridiculous like that. An act that like certainly deserves for something unusual to happen in return for sheer stupidity/bravery/somethingelsery 

[Jopax]

Plus there was that bug thingy that gave you a province, so I think it's justified

[Sirus]

Said province was my family's home, so it's understandable that I'm a little miffed

[SeaBee]

All this makes me suddenly wonder ... what's the goal of our war, here? To get back some lost territory, definitely, then what? Head to the negotiating table and figure out the next step?

Don't think I've ever played a game like this. Thought it would be like the traditional browser-based strategy game, but it's way different in feel. I think the slow turns and the high amount of dialog makes it pretty unique.

With all our new nobles (assuming they stick around), does that mean it's time to expand in all directions like a dwarven avalanche?

Hi, I am from Asylon.

For those of you joining BM, have patience with the game it is really slow, do not get discouraged. BM is about imagination and what you the player put into it. I have been playing now for 3 or 4 years and it is hands down one of the best games I have ever played. You can play it every day for a few minutes, but you can spend the rest of your life developing your character, plotting, and causing trouble. If you like RP this is the classic old-School RP game that you have been looking for. If you like fast-paced action, well this isn't it... But there is action, and there is real consequence and reputation will follow you.

Oh and one more thing of advice, if new people join. Please try and spread out and join different kingdoms. If everyone joins one kingdom it really will make the game suffer. Please keep playing and have fun. Ask questions and stick it out, trust me, at first BM doesnt appear to be very much on the surface, yet it is a very very rich game.
