you could also have it mixed by allowing more archaic groups have access to Magic, which could be used the same way as more modern things such as guns.

[Taricus]

If a lot harder to replicate on a larger scale economically. So you can't say match an industrialised nation in goods output, or in raw military numbers.

[Gwolfski]

question. If you make a province, do you have to make a chracter?

[Taricus]

Assumably so, given that said character would likely be the nation's leader.

question. If you make a province, do you have to make a chracter?

Yes.

Think of it this way: this is a character roleplay. However, players who choose to take on more of a "government" role will be more focused on roleplaying on a province-level than a character-level.

PS: feel free to make a province sheet (those who are making provinces), but keep in mind that I'll probably change many of the stats around.

Hmm, is there any recommendation to the modifiers for the provinces, just as a general guideline, and will those be applicable regardless of the era chosen to play in?

Modifiers come more into play with map-specific stuff (Center of Trade, +economy), Empire-specific stuff (Draft, +Manpower), and stuff gotten through events (Industrial Boom: +economy, +production, -manpower). The province sheet is more to give you an example to help outline what everything does and allow you to choose what kind of province you prefer to start with, but is not a requirement and may hold little impact on your starting province. If, for example, you have a trait you want the province to have for roleplay reasons, such as a large criminal underbelly, feel free to jot it down.

I mean the economy/manpower/industry modifiers, sorry.

I mean the economy/manpower/industry modifiers, sorry.

A better economy allows you more flexibility regarding your realm, as well as an easy way to pay off mercenaries and other nations.
Industry allows you more production; if you plan on producing a bunch of well-armed units or setting massive work projects (think New Deal) in motion, you'll need it.
Manpower is almost only used for units, and is only necessary if you plan on fielding a large army.

All will be used no matter the era; different Province Stats may come into play, but these three will probably stay consistent.

Alright, and for starting, what numbers for those modifiers would be appropriate?

Most provinces will be around 1.00, to a soft cap of 2.00 (like, 90% will be 0.75 to 1.25. Manpower is always 1.00 without special modifiers).

Alright, thanks for the heads up on that DBTM, I'll get to editing my province now.

I'd be up for running a business of some kind, I'll post a sheet in the morning.

[Rolepgeek]

I have a question.

What level of realism are we using?
