Tribe Name: Ashbreik
Cacique Name: Iandaar
Colour: Something un-pinky.
Location: They live in a regular semi-wooded area. Preferably a bit hilly.
Magic User: Sakuvar
Magic Spell: Blood Enforcement - 1MP: Sacrifices an individual, but traps the soul and essence in this world, instead granting the strength to the sacrificer. This empowers the sacrificer significantly. (The effect never ends. Non-magic users may perform the sacrifice if the mana is provided by a caster.)

Welcome aboard. If you have not read elsewhere, the UK just got RECORD snowfall. I've spent the day sledging, and consequently broke my pinky, oh, and got virtually no progress done

Map taking waaay to long for me to be happy with.

No problems there.

However, I just saw the power ratio between my spell and Charles Li's Summon spell fx, and I think I have to think it over.

Colour: Red
Location: Near the ocean
Magic User: Raidon
Magic Spell: Creation-1MP-Can create an entire city of metal using a small piece of earth. Can be used as an attack as well. However, when using it to build something large, blood is required

Don't worry, CL's Summon isn't that powerful. The imps are fairly weak, and i do plan to tweak numbers yet.

Metallurgy is not something the island has.. also, whats to stop you simply dropping said city on someones army! lol.

50m balls of "stuff" is the general 1MP rule of thumb so far

That spell is too powerful to just cost 1 MP. It would work better if it were as Abaddons suggested, a 50m ball of metal, for example.

 

[Abaddon]

Slowly getting there!

 

[Vertinari118]

Looking good so far Abby.

 

[Angst]

It's a very beautiful map However, which color am I?

 

[dldnjstjr]

could we have lables on the maps?

 

[Deon]

Sorry for the long absense, I had problems with my ISP.

I love how the map becomes more and more populated. This is gonna be a cool game, thank you Abaddon for starting this .

 

[Abaddon]

No worries. If you feel like playing around with the sea, or adding a grid, please go ahead.

The LAND must be left alone, or it will get hard for me to edit.



Do people want more "unclaimed" totems, villages? Should I add other random resources to give small bonus?

 

[Abaddon]

It's a very beautiful map However, which color am I?

You can be green (top middle) or grey I suppose.

But, i'll get on with labelling the map so it will all become clear who is NPC/Player

 

[Angst]

Grey is claimed by Vert, I think. I would be delighted to have the pale olive nation yes! If so, though, I will be going to ask for more totems. Otherwise I have to access to a bad mana source and I think that the expansionable room won't really make up for it, as I believe combat is also heavily reliable on spellcasters.

Oh, and if I at some point would reach one of the borders to the west or east (Or the other way around), I'd get my buttocks slapped a bit with the tip of my enemy's feet. Since they simply have more mana than me.

Then again, I haven't seen an update on the economy system,

 

[Abaddon]

There are only 5 unclaimed totems, and every nation start with one. So How are you going to be over powered that much?

You can also make your own. You are not going to be that over powered if you use your magic well. Also, I expect mana to be charged up, an then unleashed in battle. A careful player will have the MP when he really needs it.

 

[Angst]

I meant that I would be underpowered. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

 

[Abaddon]

But how will you? All they have is perhaps an extra village, and if they are lucky an extra totem.

Is two fireballs instead of one that important?

BUT. I will edit the map to try and ensure everyone starts on a pretty even chance.

 

[Angst]

That sounds fine. I thought that two instead of one made a big difference

 

[Abaddon]

1MP is pretty weak. I want magic to be important, but not gamebreaking. You will still need a regular army.

Army btw is uniform in tech across the island, its how much money you have spent training them in slings/spears/archery/axe warfare that will matter.

 

[Vertinari118]

Indeed grey is my colour. I assume my template is ok Abaddon as you have not commented on it.
