Ok, I was worried if there was a remnant that migrated north and is building up to begin a mass invasion of the Sim empire or some other nations (like those guys around that lake in the north).

I don't understand your way of thinking but OK I guess

I doubted it, but considering that you like things coming back to kick us, you never know.

So now that were in the Age of Fireblood, how do most battles happen? Is it all Pike & Shot now?

You're at start of Age of Fireblood :v

Pike and shots will happen once you modernize the Army to such tactics. For now its the same as before aka 'bombard and charge into melee'

[Criptfeind]

When the shift does happen will an increase of powerful ranged weapons and focus on that sorta combat cause a decrease of cases where the leaders of armies personally enter combat?

[Haspen]

Well your monarchs aren't really required since the army has been modernized cuz that's why the learned officers noticed that most monarchs in Methiant are shit at leading.

But I keep the option open just in case y'all wanna barge in ;v

One day you can surely go George III and say 'nah me and my kids ain't gonna lead again anymore' and them generals will be like 'we got chu bruh'.

[Criptfeind]

Wait, does that mean that the martial skill won't give a bonus to leading our army anymore as compared to just letting our professional dudes do it?

Oh, no, it will :V

Personal participation is no longer expected, that's what I mean.

How big is Methiant-Cydwyl compared to well known nations in real life?

But I gave you guys a map v:

[Kashyyk]

I know, but I want to know how we compare! How close are we to the Roman Empire? Are we smaller than France? I wanna know

[Haspen]

NAQ

Specifically so I don't need to work out a distance/area/measurement system V:

We could probably make a rough estimate if more landmarks were marked on that map. You have, on occasion, given us travel time between our capital and the various places we have visited. Google tells me an average rider not pushing their horse too hard can travel about 30 miles a day.

[Haspen]

Oh no, the math's already involved! I was too late!

Sigged.

Okay, so, let's not beat around the bush.

It has been evident, possibly to quite few people, that I have a trouble putting out regular updates.

It might be a burnout, or like I confided in discord, a sign of the game getting 'boring' for me. Don't get me wrong, I love the world I've made, and I love the format, and of course I love the amount of attention it gets, it's just... kinda 'eh'.

Looking back into SPAMKINGDOM#, I now see that I've made few mistakes:

Elective Monarchy: Allowing you guys to secure the continuation of the dynasty (and thus, the game) by picking up basically any valid relative. I cannot spawn a Pretender because hey, why rebel if the big guys on the throne already have succession troubles already out of equation?

Overtech: Getting guns early and letting the people concentrate on them heavily while nations around do not have such a research program involved. I basically had to roll out Age of Fireblood to knock out that +1/+2 from Fireblood Methiantese armies were getting to at least have the Empire put some effort in conquests.

Too Many Artifacts: Sorceresses making up artifacts was a thing from the beginning, but I did not take into account the possibility of rapidly replenishing Economy stat. I vaguely recall, I think it was Ruberta?, being able to commission an artifact every few years.

It really gets a bit disheartening if all I have to do is to roll out an update where the super Army of Methiant-Cydwyl blasts all enemies with its overtech and 150% discipline, and the Emperors are so decked out in booster trinkets that to get them do wrong I must make up negative modifiers.

Hiatus? Most definitely, SPAMKINGDOM# is on hiatus.

Dropping the game? A possibility, too.

I currently busy myself with Res Publica on the side to try something new. Also there's the new thing that's 'in the works', DOOMguys, where people go to Mars and shoot up fallen marines and demons. We will see how this all goes.
