Um, Right now we're fighting a war under Emperor Seoras, the Astroists are trying to use conversion magic to make everyone astroist, and I'm looking for a wife. :p

[Zangi]

Oh, so you guys are at war with the religious block too?  Hows it coming along over on the other side of the sea?

Asylon and Niselur has been moderately successful at looting and pillaging the western representative of the Astroits.  Even Corsanctum and I think one of the others occasionaly show up on this side of the sea.

When I was last playing (about 6-9 months ago), LN was probably a bit over 60% astroist anyway. Actually, we were sort of using it as cover against Morek and Co. so that we could pick on enemies that were easier to win against (LV and D'hara and Swordfell). Fortunately there were far more unfaithful nations than LN at the time.

Now that it actually is Luria again, with an emperor and all, maybe stuff has changed. I actually don't mind those misguided, heretical pyrists. It might be another little thing for my character to do. Plus, who doesn't like annoying Seoras? It'll be far more fun now that he's an emperor

Necro.

Does anyone on b12 still play this?

[SealyStar]

Necro.

Does anyone on b12 still play this?

Yes, though I'm a lot less vocal than I used to be.

One character has basically fallen to the rank of grunt in a dying realm. Another has become a successful but perennially poor trooper in a lively but unfortunate realm. And the third is filthy rich and titled, but with really bad prestige/honor and such.

[Zangi]

I'm still around it.  Asylon is facing dark times.  Well... it was to be expected.

[revo]

I still play too, ASyon and thal

[danaris]

I'm still here! (and a good thing, too, since no one else is doing any real development...)

Really interested in this, but I can't find anything on marriage/children or retirement in the wiki. Help? I'd like to know how it works before I join...

For example, my pipedream is establishing a dynasty of female knights, going for 3 or 4 generations...

There are no formal mechanics for marriage or children in BattleMaster. Basically, if one of your characters meets a character of another player and they hit it off, you can both roleplay them getting married. Then, after a suitable interval, you can create one or more new characters roleplayed as their children.

This is, in fact, something I've done. One of the characters I'm playing now, and a character of another player, are the children of two characters we played several years ago. They fell in love, got married, and later, left the continent (retired). Now their children are back to try to follow in their parents' footsteps.

I've jumped back into it (back in LN, just so I don't have to memorize any new region names). I actually might end up playing my character as the illegitimate (but still noble) son of my former character if things get boring. Fortunately LN has a fair bit going on, so it won't be for a while, if ever, that the information is revealed.

It's also possible to RP adoptions into a family, but only really used if you're a pretty established player (it's quite a rare occurrence).

Poor Luria Nova. Assailed from all sides, the same hopeless leaders and the inability to win any war. Plus, they now have Asylon assuming that the former capital, Giask, is now theirs (due to poor army leadership by the home guard's former marshal, whose sole task is to take back rogue lands or let nobles hunt. Which he didn't do properly).

Now I'm stuck in an army that just sort of sits there. Fair enough, we need mobile troops, but clicking "train troops" every turn is boring.

I hate to say it, but if Luria gets torn apart by their enemies and their allies, they pretty much deserve it. Christ, I ran the home guard at one stage. It's the easiest thing to do. We had 6 nobles "defending the realm", but mostly we went hunting or did a little bit of civil work. And roleplayed annoyingly. But we never just sat there.

[sambojin]

Triple post and all, but it's not as though the thread gets used much.

Danaris, does western Dwighlight still exist? Is it just a matter of fighting off hordes of monsters continuously and establishing a kingdom in the wild, wild west?

I pretty sure young Marius could join up to something like that. Plus, he could go hunting. Probably on a daily basis.

[Korbac]

I played this briefly, but could never keep interest long enough.

Any new realms popped up since Phantaria went boom? I remember playing as part of them.

Oh, it exists. But I think the "just" in there hides a world of assumptions that may seriously handicap any such expedition.
