[insert longish backstory here]

Because I wanted to make a world after a terrible world war that used genetic engineering and the such and by the end tech was absolutely gone
And a fascist state would be able to operate pretty easily under these curcumstances, IMO

And when you say fascist who are you referring to?

The Fascist society I want would take influence from Hitler and Mussolini, which would include a hypercentralized authoritarian government mobilizing its people on a basis of racial superiority and nationalism. Problem being is that hypercentralization, industrial superiority, police state/secret police, etc., are difficult to incorporate with medieval tech, Fascism is bound to industry innately, as you can't find a Fascist society that doesn't operate without massive amounts of machinery.

((http://postimage.org/ works well for me, and I think that is what the last guy ended up using))

How exactly do I use this?
Just choose an image and upload it? Then what?

I was the last guy who ended up using it. I uploaded my own (poorly-made Paint map) onto it and everything was fine.

Once you upload it, right-click on the image and click 'Copy Image URL'. Then, make a forum post and then:

Better example:

Does that mean that the Redguards are hippies or that everyone is just awful and should just die? Can't we just keep the grimdark out of it?

I don't think we really have any nation that isn't grimdark (Slave nation, racist nation, drug addicted nation, child soldier nation...)

That must have taken forever to draw :o.

What slave nation? Sapiastan is too funny to be grimdark. Ditto for CoAaS, except they're like your stoner room mate. I see Terra Arma as a more benign Lord of the Flies-esque country - not really grimdark if it's benign.

I'd comment on the map but TAFE's filter is blocking it. :(

Not these elves :P

And Stirk, the Terra arma have one GLARING weakness: The lack of armour. Any blow against one would be more or less lethal, and the ballista could skewer several at a time. That, and charging into a full hedge of long pikes isn't going to be good for one's health either.

And if the ballistae have a hundred rounds each, and are able to fire all of them at the mob, that's a VERY large portion of it GONE, especially if it's piercing through bodies.

A ballista would pierce through 3 guys max. 4 since these guys have no armour. 4 * 100 and that's about 400 dead minus (all the bolts that missed or killed less than the maximum). That would mean 400 per volley, with a naturally long reload time vs an army that has a minimum of 10,000 soldiers but is likely to have many more. The minimum population for the city-states is 70,000 and it's not uncommon for Terra Arma to send half its population to war at a time, so you're looking at an army of about 35,000 in most cases. Now what can less than 5,000 men in an open field with a few ballistae do against an army of that size?

Even a Thermopylae battle against them wouldn't work since THEY also have artillery. It's also implied that they don't have any logistical problems when it comes to food, water, and medicine. I don't see any way that ANY army could beat them, short of simply fielding a big enough army.
