The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

Indeed, I apologize. I have a tendency not to update things like that, but yes. Today is the 17th of April and the last day of classes is the 24th for me, which means that depending on mow my exam schedule is this could be getting started as early as the 30th. No later than the 6-7th of may.

Maybe some race add ons, but it's 50/50, unless anyone has a mod suggestion. Start up time in approximately one week!

EDIT: It's possible I may use some mods. I will update if I find any I like.

EDIT2: I will be creating a pre-thread to do some polling before we start. Expect it up later today or tomorrow.

EDIT: OP bumped, poll changed.

The Congress of Lords will be the upper house and will initially have the final say in voting. Everyone else will be part of The Imperial Council of Representatives and Minor Nobility, as such members may introduce motions and vote among themselves regarding them and RP accordingly (or not, that's okay too!), stuff you pass will have to (for simplicity's sake) be ratified by a simple majority of lords. Specifics on this when the actual thread is started.
Er, so do the people who have posted in this thread so far get preference for The Congress of Lords? Would like to be a Lord. Of Lordasia.

ALL HAIL LORD LODRAS OF LORDASIA!

Amusingly, he's a Marksdwarf, which gives me the mental image of him conducting medical malpractice an appendectomy from fifty paces with a crossbow.
On bay12, a poll option of basically 'nuke the world' named 'Apocalypse Hitler' is like asking an alcoholic if they want some whiskey.

Name: Cornelius Beardius Scoopzen Von Landshut
Imperial Title: Emperor of Humanity, King of Earth, and 67th Baron Munchën

"Greetings, Dukes, Counts, Barons, and other Imperial Representatives. Today marks the formation of the greatest empire this world has ever known. The greatest empire in the history of mankind! This morning, the Imperial Diet has convened under The Congress of Lords and The Imperial Council of Representatives and Minor Nobility and has ratified, by unanimous decision, the first Imperial Constitution. Long live The Empire!"

EDIT: this is all fluff of course, you can change names in the actual thread. Also about to update the OP and close the polls.

EDIT2:@DreamerGhost, I'll try and get everyone their preferred position, but we'll see how it all works.

EDIT3:I may just draw updated maps instead of Distant Worlds screenshots to represent maps of the empire! Ideas, ideas, so many terribly genius and time-consuming, wondrous, and terrible ideas!
