I ended up making my character and decided to roam around a bit.

I noticed the travel times to travel just a small fraction of the map was 15 days... is that real time? That seems almost absurd.

Roads decrease travel time. And some areas are quicker to move through than others. Mountains and forests are slow to travel through.

Talk to nobles you meet along the way, engage with them, get involved in local disputes, takes sides, make yourself available, obviously if you just click a destination and wait it's going to be a long and boring journey.

Ladies and gentlemen, buckle your seatbelts and lower your visors, because it looks like a storm is coming. Tor Kortaur is asking for help against Ascalon on one side, Tor Fullakin is trying to assassinate the Emperor on another, and the Black Road is making inroads in the West.

[Zangi]

Hmm... yea, Ascalon is having differences over territory with the Lowlands.

[Insanegame27]

Yeah, I play Lu Bei, the guy who informed the Children of the attack. I would have helped, but I only have six soldiers, two of which are archers with shortbows, the other being light inf with an axe, cloth and a shield.

[wereboar]

I wonder why a single Tor would attack Ascalon in the first place. Poor guys are totally getting steamrolled in retaliation.

[Xardalas]

How effective do archers tend to be? I'm a little curious. Got a bandit wandering around with a 100ish soldiers but more than half of them are archers.

[Insanegame27]

If they're shortbow-armorless-equipmentless they're no threat, but if they are longbow-plate-shield/(war)horse then you're in trouble. Knowing bandit characters they're probably longbowmen or plate with shortbows.

[Arx]

Depends heavily on the opponent and the archers' equipment. Light infantry are mowed down by pretty much everything, whereas taking down heavy infantry is hard, and taking down heavy cavalry is very difficult without a fortified position.

I can personally attest that longbows are brutal. At some point, Asitet Anoth will go to war, and I'll see how good crossbows are.

[Xardalas]

Damn. Well, that causes some serious issues for an independent lord.

Oh well, time to go hit up a tavern for a obscene amount of mercenaries to deal with the issue.

[Arx]

Armoured archers have their own category, which will tell you if they're in chain or better, I think.

[Tiruin]

Is there any B12 Lord I can give my soldiers to? (Or how do I return them to you, Insanegame27?)
Asking this because I don't think I can spare the time currently to effectively play my character. Learning lately thanks to the mailing system that your character cannot die partly nudges the efficacy in my playstyle too I mean I pretty much love the idea behind the game and that's what drew me in, but...you can't die, other than choose to be killed, and that nudges my playing viewpoint when considering the growth of a playerbase (and how dynamic stuff can be).

I was probably not the best player to introduce you to the game. It is more than just soldiers. What character(s) were you anyway, out of curiosity? Just that one?

Amelia Tenrin + Cyra Hayes.
I've been flailing around traveling after noticing that I had little to no permissions with every village I met, until I noticed that I had to talk to local lords! xD

But yeah, one of the prime reasons I'm going into idlenessmode is my timezone. @_@

If you ever want some low-key play, you're welcome in the Black Road or Asitet Anoth.
