Indeed. ^^^ I wasn't certain the angle Dwarmin wanted to play concerning Pasha and Tala's relationship (whether they were friends/lovers/rivals/business partners) so I kinda waited for him to start and tried my best to match up. ^^^; Also I may have mentioned to Dwarmin a month or two ago that I'm rubbish at writing romance and wanted to get better at it...

If you intend to keep up with writing like that then by all means ;). I honestly do not mind developed character interaction, and we all are not so good at it. Seeing you two interact like that is pretty nice as a break from the constant plotting and blunt and dry exchanges that we have. But thats politics for you.

Thanks. :D I appreciate the compliment. I'm a proponent of the 'only way to get better is to practice' so if at any point in Spring you want Nikephoros to interact with Pasha we can give it a go. It'll be nice to get to see a non-soldier side of the old general. ^^^ And you can teach me Swordfighting Rank 1. :P

Okay. I officially said what the hell out loud, when Dwarmin pulled that.
I was expecting it to be that son of the Baron of Rathole that is studying in Shola...or William's long lost -read: dead- brother.


I'd like to point out that it's near impossible for anyone to be able to have a "Molotov" AKA petrol bomb, due to the lack of petrolium or anything like it at this tech level...
You throw a glass bottle filled with high proof alcohol at something with a burning rag stuck in it, that bottle will break and catch whatever you throw it at in flaming death. That's a molotov in my books...
Problem is that it's not in a glass bottle. Wine was usually sold by the barrel around this period...
Huh... I could have sworn everybody else talked about bottles of wine, even in the last one...
Okay then, they are thin ceramic -even though glass is wayyy better- bottles. Fixed, done, over with.
Quit trying to take away my signature weapon.

Its a pretty silly signature weapona and awfully impractical. And high-proof alcohol that would burn properly wasn't around until 17th century when distillation process was improved.

Yeah. Besides, I don't think glass bottles (As we know them for storing beverages) were around back them...

Ceramic ones were though...

ITS a bloody game. And its not earth's tech timeline, they could have invented some better distillation and glass making process! Stop being all OCD.

Then how come they had glass wine bottles in the (ic) year 315?

I see nothing that says we don't have a good enough distillation process, because Iituem said that the barrels of alcohol improved the chances of that wooden wall being lit on fire...

@Dwarmin: Do you have a real name already in mind for Tala, or did you want me to make one up? In the former case you can PM it to me. I just had Pasha use a pet name for Tala to kind of duck the issue... ^^^;

For now, he would use Tala. I acutally have not thought of her real name yet. :P

It's one of those important plot things that might come up one day.

Nothing the retcon pen can't do!

And they needed barrels of the stuff (Presumably poured over a path to make sure the person lighting it wasn't burned...)

@Dwarmin: OK, no problem. ^^^

@Taricus: Let him have it and wait for him to roll a 1 is my solution, if you know what I mean. :3

Going to answer a few of those:

The peasants were always illiterate.
Peasant beds are made out of straw. Nobles actually get wooden beds :P
We're at the point where the metallugy knowledge is widespread, if only within the storm coast region.
Thatch roffing is not efficient in urban areas, they would be tiled roofs.
Alchohol still gets prople drunk.

And the last one, separated due to the fact it hasn't improved:
There was never any good perfumes and/or deodorants...

Hey, guys.

Less of the arguing about silly details, yeah.

Molotovs are an acceptable break from reality. Acceptable breaks from reality are ok.

Okay then what about the rest? I'm going to answer this and then go mute myself for three more days.

Its a game. With magic. And Lizard-men and people who can live to be 200. Trying to mantain Historical accuracy is stupid and idiotic in this situatuion.
And if that don't work- godmoddy as it sounds -...they invented better glassmaking and distallation processes in Lonemine, and sold them to the world.
