Where are the smugglers that are reacting to the Explosion? On the other boat looking, or on the dock, or surrounding William and Co.?

[CyberGenesis]

Both technically. Dock workers, civilians and smugglers alike would be coming to see what was going on

[Iituem]

Season change is aimed at tomorrow+, right?  I'll save my scheming until then with Lorelle - I think I'm going to have to appeal to the government directly with my plans and machinations.

[CyberGenesis]

Aimed, if nuke'll do it. Dont think i'll have time otherwise. If he doesnt it might be a few more days

I'm definately thinking of joining this. Have almost finished reading the 1st page of the ooc thread, whereupon I'll head over to read the 1st page of the IG thread. I was just wondering if there are any viking-type races (as in human races) existing in this? I'm planning on making a self proclaimed jarl, and just wanted to know if it was feasible.

FYI, first page of OOC does not relate to YaK II, but the thread was simply reused for it. You can be whoever you want, but within the character limits that are given on wiki and on the first page of IC.

There's the Northlanders, grim black-haired warriors of the frigid Northlands, who worship fell gods and who fight to survive in a place that seems to want to kill them.

Then there is the Weylanders, who live to the north of the Elberth region- which is dominated by four feuding countries. I can't really remember a lot of fluff about them, but they revere/hate/idolize/something Nightlings, stylizing their armor after them. Live in wooden houses, I'd imagine their early medieval like.

Alright, thanks for the heads up. I have just one more question before I write up my character. It says in the rules that 1 parcel of land produces 0.5 units. Does that mean I actually have to own land in order to hire units? I don't think that is correct, which is why I'm wondering, is there way to get new units without owning land?

*edit*

And thanks Filiusenox. I'll probably end up going for Northlanders, since they sound alot like the "chaos" faction from Warhammer XD. But, if I can find some info on the Weylanders, I may make my little "tribe" be them instead. We'll see.

[filiusenox]

Nah, it just costs extra, also you need to be approved by a GM, and you need to start somewhere between, the republic of groaning and the border of Dragon Empire. I think.


Ask me any questions you need to know about Northlandic culture. I'd be happy to help further.

[PIN]

Would it be safe to say my character and his tribe lived in that large mountain range (not the whole range, obviously, just a small area of it) above Fuirnefurt and below the Udanese High Kingdom?
Also, filiusenox: When you say "who fight to survive in a place that seems to want to kill them." what exactly do you mean? That the environment is very harsh? That there are many dangerous creatures living there?

[filiusenox]

The entire Northlands are mainly made of ice.
The basis of the entire ecosystem is a type of moss that can grow on the ice under the snow, which certain types of cattle can eat, but is agonizingly poisonous for humans to eat.
Months of night and months of day.
It has(Possibly) Wendigos- warriors who fell into cannibalism for fun and are now cursed- roaming the country sides.
Strange mutated beasts that were once men.
Raiders of everyone else's clan trying to raid everyone.
Only five major cities.
Cultists of Samhain roaming the country-side looking for enemies of Samhain and victims to torture and then cut the hearts out to feed to the god that make the demons of the south look tame.
Constant wars, any empire that rises falls so soon that people no longer try to keep track of how many empires existed.
There is no heaven that people believe in, just everlasting torture at the hands of Samhain, or if they were weak, sinful or stupid in life, worse fates that other less kind gods reap upon them. The only thing they have to look foward to is when the world ends, and every man and woman who ever fought anything fight in a last battle to save Itu, so they can finally rest in peace.

Basically its a hellhole covered in razorblades and barbwire.

Name: Tothran Ulfricsson (Pronounced: Thoth-rin Ulfric’s-inn)

Description: A tall, muscular man appearing to be in early adulthood, Tothran is a fine example of the Northlander people. With a curly black beard just beginning to sprout and a large mane of tousled hair with matching colour upon his head, this lad is a fearsome sight to behold.

Background: Tothran and his oh so small clan had come from the harsh Northlands. They had all grown sick of the constant hardships they had to face, and decided that a life in the “easy going” lands was more to their liking. This did not, though, mean that they planned on simply relaxing.. Oh no, they were going to carve out a small empire for themselves! Thus.. Jarl Ulfric Darkkisson lead his clan out of their harsh home. They were amazed by how quickly day turned to night.. By how much “greener” everything was. And by how not everything they saw wanted them dead.
As a celebration for their new life security, the clan had a party the night before the raid they had been planning. There was drinking and feasting all around, and non feasted more than Jarl Ulfric. None less than his son, Tothran. Why did the lad not celebrate as his comrades did, you may ask. To which the answer is simple, Ulfric had led them away from the Northlands, but he was too old and too unfit to make the clan successful. Tothran believed, however that he himself was more worthy. Thus, after the party, he challenged his father to a battle for leadership. Not an unusual thing for the scarred clan to witness. The simply fact that Ulfric is no longer in the clan, and that Tothran leads it, would easily explain what had happened..

So thats my app. If anyone sees a problem with it, even if you're not a gm, please do say.

[Taricus]

Units can only have two upgrades, and you only have 3d to spend in total.

[PIN]

Uh.. That was only 3 ducats in total. 1 for the unit, 0.5 for tac, 0.5 for berserker and 1 for Raider. Totaling 3. BUT! If I can only have two upgrades on a unit.. I'll just quickly revise my app, which is..

Here now:
