The first was the City of Shokalam, Republic of Phantaria.  The second being the City of Chesney, Saffalore Monarchy.  Quite an odd name...
While the Terran Republic now only holds the City of Chateau Saffalore.

Rest of the details?  *Shrug*  Name of the current rulers and other stuff you can probably look up while in Dwilight.  And the inner happenings of Terran can only be said by a noble hailing from those realms.

No, I have a character from Terran (she split off to Phantaria now). I was just curious, because I was having trouble logging in and couldn't find out firsthand.

I thought it was funny how there is a realm called Saffalore that does not contain the region called Saffalore.

To be fair, the same thing happened in the last days of Fontan on the east continent. "Fontan" was taken by Caligus or Westmoor (I don't remember which) pretty early in the war...

Ah... I knew some people here were from Terran, just forgot who they were...  was actually hoping someone would be willing to enlighten as to why ya'll keep splitting apart.

Also, I think the leader of Phantaria did make some appeal to become leader of Terran while Asylon was visiting.  That is all I got.

I'm just waiting for Sha'shanti to become known as the Royal Homewrecker.

Something tells me shit is really going to the fan about nine months from now.

Saffalore and the Chateau will be given to the Saffalore Realm as soon as possible from what I understand. Terran split apart because of the war, aggravated by the inner turmoils. ALOT of inner turmoils.

Hey, she was doing it by the queen's orders. She just got drunk and went a bit far is all. Quite a bit too far.

The lad could use a little brother anyway. Half foolish fop, half kick-arse Ranger chick. Then he'll probably get some of Madigan's genetics as well.

Found this info from another player:

If you're having trouble accessing the site it's probably due to a DNS change from what I've been told in other realms.  Personally I haven't had any problems but I didn't try to access the site on my phone, this might work though:

"For those having problems accessing the BM website (but have found another computer to use that will access it), as I was, go to http://use.opendns.com/ and follow the instructions there, but use 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.1 instead of the IP addresses it mentions. Worked for me."

Well, I've gotten on now. I suppose it was probably an error on my part.

A basic timeline of what happened in Terran:
-War with Aurvandil: Aurvandil is much larger than Terran, and the monarchic government makes it more effective as a unified force. This lasts a long time, and the continued disorder it created caused chaos in the northern regions since they were basically abandoned to fight in the south.
-War with Asylon: Aurvandil's buddy in the north decided to start kicking the dog, too, which meant Terran was fighting a two-front war with two major powers. If real history is any indication (*coughhitlercough*), that doesn't usually end well.
-Allegations of corruption: the four ruling positions all got into a big bitchfest over who started the fire, the judge banned someone, people began protesting the judge, and so on and so forth.
-Phantaria forms: The duchy of Phantaria splits off from Terran because of the Duke's disappointment with how the other guys in charge were handling things, and apparently hoped that Aurvandil wouldn't continue the war on the new realm. For now that remains the case.
-Saffalore forms: I have no idea exactly what happened here, but it was probably similar to Phantaria.

Huh, I'd have think some of the realms that had responded to Asylon would have been more help to Terran throughout the war with Aurvandil?

D'Hara for one?

All of Terran's allies were pussies and sat the whole thing out, even when Asylon joined in.

At least that's the perspective of a radical Terranese republican.

[Zangi]

Well... Astrum and Morek took the opportunity to harass us in the north...  already turned tail and ran...  Heck, it looks like they did far less damage to us then we did to Terran...

A 3rd realm has actually declared on us, so who knows if they plan on coming too...  D'Hara peaced Asylon already.


Cheers to unreliable allies eh?  Better yet, don't really expect much from far and away allies...

Pretty much.

Pretty much.

Dreams of world wars collapse once you realize there's no international banking system, and it'll take you at least a week to get to the battlefield.  Unless you can convince all your knights to have two weeks plus of troop pay physically on them, you'll never have enough troops long enough to pull off a sustained campaign.  If they take casualties, which your melee troops inevitably will, they have run all the way back to your capital to replace them.

TL;DR
Long range expeditions tend to fail.

Which is because of a shitty idea on the part of developers- they're intentionally keeping war at a tiny scale instead of letting it play out like it should.

How long/what does it take to move the capital? It must be pretty hard, otherwise you could just move it up to whatever city was closest to the current battlefield.

[Zangi]

It would have made it too easy for a single organized kingdom to take over the world... or at least subjugate a vast area.  Also, it would mean the battles would have been more 'fast-paced' so players and mechanics would have to adapt closer to that, which is not the whole point of the game.

[stabbymcstabstab]

Well, it would of been easy to counter that with rebels and troop quality and additional fees if recruiting from other places like other non captial cities, allied captials, stuff like that make world wars possible if a little costly after a few months or so.
