Pancake and Sloth Work Together and Easily Retrieve the Black Chest from Atop the Pillar, and Set It Upon the Floor to Open It. Pancake Is Able to Lift the Heavy Lid With Just a Light Shove.

There is a Crackle of Red Lightning as the Lid Swings Open, but Nothing Happens. Inside the Ornate Chest is a Large Red Gemstone, Masterfully Cut Into a Faceted Sphere. A Least as Big as a Person’s Head, This Deep Red Ruby Seems to Draw the Light from Within the Chest, Causing It To Stand Out Brightly While the Rest of the Chest Looks Pitch Black on the Inside.

This Gem Is Clearly Magical In Some Way.

In the Room Above, Ariel, Bulkana, and Kedalbiri Determine That with The Resistances Granted By Ariel, They Could Pass Through the Toxic Mist Without Much Trouble. Tsuyuhime Lets The Others Know That the Worms in the Walls Don’t Look Like Much, In Terms of Being a Trap Or Some Such.

It Isn’t Clear What The Buttons On Each Wall Do, If Anything.

~

In the Basement Dungeon, Woshou Knocks Down the Shambling Bones That is Still Attacking Apotheosis. Gryffon Lands a Few Furious Blows Upon the Horror That He Earlier Knocked Aside, and Apotheosis Finally Puts Down the Regenerating Undead He Was Focused On.

Woshou Rains Down a Half Dozen Heavy Punches Upon the Shambling Bones He Knocked Down, and Obliterates It. Gryffon Tracess His Sword In a Powerful Downward Arc, and Cuts Vertically In Half the Undead He Is Fighting!

With All the Greater Shambling Bones Defeated, the Room Is Silent For a Moment. Then the Group On This Floor Once Again Hears the Clinging and Clanking of Heavy Metal Chains from Inside the Huge Metal Box at the End of the Long Room That Makes Up This Dungeon.

The Rest of the Bones on the Floor and the Corpses in the Hanging Cages Remain Still.

There is a Metal Lever on the Wall, Next to the Staircase.

In that case, Bulkana's going to suggest that they all fly through the mist without messing with any of the buttons. Whatever potential secret or reward is not worth the risk of triggering a teleportation trap, or something else.

While Kedalbiri and Ariel can make it no problem, it might surprise their new companion to learn that Bulkana can do it all the same. Though the thought of showing this random girl his mechanical parts is truly sickening, to the point where he'd feel like throwing up if he had the means to do so, the thought of being turned to stone, or worse, pushes the thought away for the moment.

He carefully assumes a runner's position, making sure that no one's behind him or in his way. It sounds like a match lights within Bulkana's legs, and from the back of his calves a small, but wide fire breaks out and begins to propel him forward. When he enters the toxic mist, he'll put his palms together and point his elbows down. From there, the fire in his legs will switch off, and the ones from his elbows will activate instead, gently hovering him over toward Tsuyuhime with his 69nice in Flight.

If the buttons turn out to be important later, Brainy and him can deal with it then.

kudos for handling a split party there, that was well done

Covered in the powdered dust of his enemies, Woshou takes some deep breaths- then coughs up some dust before breathing a little more cautiously.

"Hope they didn't hurt you too bad, bro," I say to Apotheosis. "I mean, they probably didn't, but... actually, never mind. We wrecked them."

I return to the staircase and take a seat next to the wall. "You did good too, running guy. Hey, what was your name again?"

"So, uh, you guys do whatever, I'll take a break here for the moment."

Last I checked, we had a stardust dragon, the lovely panda chef, some incoming twins, and of course the absolute cutest girl- pic related.

Speaking of which, yo Apotheosis, is it ok if I do some writing for the fourth floor? I have some horrifying ideas on what it could be.

"Ahaha! I'm impressed, ser Gryffon! I didn't expect you to keep up with Woshou! Good show, everyone!" I walk back down the hallway towards the stairs.

"Now, I'm not sure if you gents are getting the same feeling, but I'm pretty sure there's something a tad nastier than those mish-mashed skeletons in that box over there. I'm going to rest up a bit on the floor above, and then come back down to see about opening that box. If you'd rather go on ahead, I won't begrudge you." I will make my way up the stairs to the pack Elemental that should be on the ground floor, to get a refreshing and energizing beverage. Then I'll head back down here to this dungeon and chill until my Vitality, Stamina, and Mana recharge. Once that's done I'm going to try to bust out whatever is in that metal box.

Yeah about that.
3.0 wasn't built with "resting" mana recharge in mind so there are tons of mana recovery buffs that would be useless if we go by this logic. Adapt 4.0 if you wish.

Basically if you sit down in most MMOs, your regen massively improves. 3.0 doesn't have this and thus there are mana recovery buffs. But if it did exist, those buffs are pretty worthless.

It's a little more than that, actually.
In overlord canon, there's actually no mana potions at all. Rest is the only way to recover mana quickly, and it still takes a long time, 6 hours of rest to fully refresh.
This is not modeled in 3.0, as such more common mana regen systems have been substituted.

Agreed, but we should also figure out stamina regen for them while we are at it.

Mana could be 10% of max per hour, outside combat. And 0% in combat. Which is slightly less than the 6 hours would be, but allow room for increases that seem commonly available.

Then have stamina be maybe be % based per minute, but much lower? Or maybe a flat amount based off CON?

Yeah, that's the plan. I like the contrast of mana being powerful but precious, and stamina being near-limitless but less powerful per point.
>>70837492
I still think there's enough evidence for a small mana regen rate in combat.
I'd say 0.2% per minute, or 12% per hour, while actively resting (Sleeping or Meditating). While not resting, in combat or otherwise, mana regen is reduced to 0.02% per minute, or 1.2% per hour. It exists, but not in any substantial capacity.
Stamina regen, as an idea, could just be 60x resting mana regen: 0.2% per second, or 12% per minute, fully recoverable from nothing in less than nine minutes. Not sure if that's too fast or not fast enough.

>>70837897
A long rest will restore it completely, but if you're careful about mana consumption, a short nap or quick meditation can help to top you off.
For reference, if you have 130 mana (a focused but not optimized caster) your rested regen rate is 15.6 per hour, enough to cast a tier 5 spell after half an hour of rest. That might be important.
A highly specialized wizard could take it further. Without looking into ways to speed up regen (which will have to be revisited in light of the new system), a caster with a high mana pool would get more out of a nap. I have 306 mana with gear, so my rested regen rate would be 36.72 per hour, enough to cast a non-specialization Teir 10 spell after only 40 minutes of rest.
That said, we're still talking short rest levels of waiting at least. And this is all based on calculations that might change in 4.0.

I'm just a bit dubious as to the narrative value of that. How about a "quick recovery" mechanism instead? In short, you can attempt to have recovered enough mana in a short period of time by doing a roll. Probably comes back after a little while.

Also thoughts on making 1/2 mana cost and 1/2 stamina cost work like multipliers? So 1/2*1/2 = 1/3, 1/2*1/2*1/2 = 1/4, etc.

This way we don't have runaway multipliers in that regard either.

What does this mean? Why would it be an attempt? If you wanted to recover mana you would do as brainy said and remove yourself from combat, vastly increasing how fast it recovers.

It's just abstraction. The real reason why you want to know is to pull off one extra spell. So for a narrative system, you just boil it down to that. Better mana regen means a better chance at gaining it back.
You can also make it have no random factor, just if you fulfill a condition you get a spell back. So if you want crunch to your narrative system, just precalculate the "short rest" mana regen. In play if you pull off a short rest (or meditation) then you get the listed mana back. Simple as that.

Psychic DLC take 2

https://pastebin.com/gfqk9dMj

-Psychic can now communicate with and / or detect any number or targets, instead of its previous ability.

-Talismancer has been dialled back to be more in line with the Paladin and Ranger. Now has Weak Spellcasting, and it still has +10/+10 but now has less vitality to compensate sorry Persethenes
-Added the Talisman Shooter, an upgrade to Talismancer. It can spam talismans even harder and upgrades to full casting. Notably Talismancer+Shooter has more CL and less ML than Pally+Inq And Rang+Strider.

-Rejiggered the Medium to just be dead people, and adjusted it’s wording a little. I didn’t end up making a lot of different kinds like >>70820561 suggested, but I was inspired by this chain >>70820588, >> 70820636, >> 70820652, >> 70820664 >> 70820682 to make atleast the Malconvoker. Technically not Spiritual in any way, but it’s related to the medium and I think it’s cool.

-While I didn’t add an easy way for all spirituals to get channelling, I did add the Wilder, who can ‘outburst’ as a sort of mental rage and channels more efficiently when doing so, and the Hex Maniac, who can uniquely channel with debuff spells rather than damage spells. Healer slightly reworded to allow channeling in healing spells when?

-Added the kineticist >>70811320, which is basically an upgrade to both Wu Jens and Elementalists. Still manipulates one thing, but that one thing could be metal, wood, fire, etc.

-Also added an Astrologer that is not a birthday wizard. Has a powerful and spammable divination ability and can give a buff that is both very minor and very long lasting to someone by rading their starsign. Still has the custom spell based on their starsign, but changed to 3/day rather than 1/hour during their birth month.

Not sure how I feel about the Talisman Shooter. It's such a direct upgrade class that it doesn't differentiate from the Talismancer, while the Paladin, Ranger, and Bard upgrade classes are more offshoots in various directions. I'd probably feel better if there was a second upgrade class such that not all Talismancers feel the same.
I'd also expect Increased Attack Speed with Talismans to be on the Talisman Shooter due to how focused it is. If there was a Boxer-Wrestler-Monk situation where base classes are differentiating from each other, then that ability makes sense. But right now it doesn't match the broad scope of most base classes. What about Perform Attack Action?

Overall though, I think it's a good step. I'd agree with the call to dial back the Talismancer, and having a higher CL gish option is really welcome as classes with that distribution are quite rare compared to ML-heavy gishes.

Spiritual DLC Base Class hotfix surprise
>Still incredibly sad I goofed and called it Psychic DLC in previous post

Decided the newest base classes needed to be a bit more well-rounded, so changed up one of their abilities to be a little less focused on a single gimmick.

-Hex Maniac now summons a ghost companion, so it can do something other than debuffs It’s a second summoner class and thus maybe shows my biases; but though I could have gone with status inflicting supernatural options, this was the most truly valid option given the source material

-Wilder can now take a Supernatural attack action to inflict [Stun] and knock down a target, so it can have something to do after blowing all its mana channelling during an outburst.

Might maybe later put the removed classes into other advanced classes for players who want to specialise. Although both removed options would make notably fine options for a custom SAC, so I might leave it at that.

I concur with the sentiment about talisman shooter being closer to talismancer than the other gishies, so I reverted the resistance decreasing ability to the base class and gave the spam abilities to the advanced class.
Different class paths for the weak caster base classes is a neato idea. Perhaps a more martial Champion as an alternative to Inquisitor and… something as an alternative to Strider, I guess? No more writing for me today I think, I’m feeling rather creatively spent Some TCG inspired mechanic of drawing a random talisman with better effects might be cool, but I can’t think of how to make it work right now. More gish expansions are a bit outside mere spiritual dlc, but I guess I included the Malconvoker so maybe I’ll have a think about it. Tomorrow.

Personally I've always thought of at least two distinct applications of talismans. The first is the talisman spam you've outlined, basically being a 2hu. The second is suspending talismans in the air, effectively mines and area effects. One could further divide the suspended talismans into aerial ones which are fast to deploy and visible, and surface ones which are suitable for ambushes but require setup.
Deck talismans seems like a fun idea as well and has synergy with Gambler/Ruler of Fate, but too random and it won't be a core part of someone's strategy.
Rest up, you've done a lot of good work already.

In line with this, if talisman shooter is the more fighty sort they should reflect that and have an other offshoot be more magical (one that removes ×2 casting for example).

Your post here brings something up that’s important to be reviewed for 4.0.

Why did we ditch Weak casting?
I do understand that as it stands now we just have weak casting under a different appearance, but it seems so inelegant and botched. Maybe we should return to using Weak Casting in 4.0, even if we keep the Lazybones mechanics for it.

Probably divine+arcane caster, specialised in Conjuration. With Domain healing, a custom ability or 2. The first that heals for the max amount when healing, the second that heals say 20% more when healing.

From there id use a SAC ability to modify the boxer trait from 29% damage buffer DoT to make my heals do 20% as HoT (which neatly covers the bonus heal amount).

Apart from that ways to reduce aggro since healers draw aggro like a bonfire draws moths.

If i had to make a custom spell id probably either make a channeling spell tbat single targeted, and healed continuously but allowed me to move. Like the medic from tf2. Or a super tier, that was like his uber. Turning himself and 1 other invulnerable for a few seconds.

>Ultimate Healer Build

-SAC 1:
--Everytime you recover HP, if you heal in excess of your maximum hit points, you convert the excess MP to HP

Here's a start- now you've unlocked infinite mana, becoming the magical equivalent of a perpetual motion machine, you just need bad enough heals and maybe a conjuration specialisation or two.

-SAC 2:
--You can do channelling with Healing spells

This basically gives you by default the baddest healing spells possible, even going off base spells.

And now you can channel your whole mana pool into healing spells, then have you mana pool recover through those healing spells to do it again and again. Maybe grab an SAC to do mana battery things and you are good to go.

2 things about that though. 1 ainz is in single player mode. It doesnt matter how good he got it, even if it wasnt by chance. Its hardly fair on others to try and claim areas for good or ill.

Another issue is that an area like you marked is almost certainly going to already have something there. Would you want Elysium to just crush that populace under it? Imo the guild areas should be randomly determined in like-areas (mountain holds in mountain areas, under water in sea, cities in open Areas) and in a manner that disrupts existing infrasture as little as possible.

Which is why we should try and fill out the world first. Then place ourselves in it.

It's really not like Ainz got the most advantageous spot imaginable, the New World is just good, period, because it's rather unharvested. I'm sure if he had the choice, he would've wanted to crush the Dwarf Kingdom under Nazarick. It'd also provide a lot more cover than Nazarick's current location.

>we could end in the middle of the mountains or the sea.
Anon said it'd make sense for guilds to be distributed based on where they'd fit best already, water cities in water, open cities in open areas. I agree that we shouldn't have any control over where we spawn, that's pretty much the point of the isekai, you just have to roll with it. In civ games, you can move your settler sure, but your starting city is in a random location. If you could choose where to start, everyone would start with absurdly high resources and natural wonders. We're broken enough as is in the New World.

I was meaning in terms of a civ game, I suppose in this instance high resources would just be a preferential territory, one with no major civilizations around so you can take over the surrounding land. Depending on the race owning the guild, maybe you need a place with close humanoids, or fertile land. In completely randomness, we probably could just spawn in a desert if such a thing exists on our continent.

There could be plenty of untapped natural resources that the New Worlders just aren't able to access, even if they're sitting on top of them.

The water to the South East could be really cold as well, making a coastal desert to go with the rain shadow from the mountains in the other directions. The mountains might be really, really tall, to, to justify the amount of shadow. I guess it'd be a really cold desert?

It could have a sort of habitable area in the middle- maybe not good enough for a civilisation, but possibly a good place to put some tribal nomads.

Can we change !Arab Kingdom to plural, I from there, what if we make Yellow Kingdom + Farmville, neighbour allies against the monsters from the north and east. Sort of like a gondor/rohan situation where they are historically allies but don't really deal with each other outside of that. In terms of anthropolgy, they would be near each other, maybe religiously as well? Which is what has stopped the Theocracy from expanding North since they have a shared heritage in culture, even though they are different now.

What about for the Dwarf Kingdoms, while having a large footprint, in "area" they have actually small settlements outside of their big cities. Likewise we could add a third to near the Giants, so they are a Triumvirate of dwarf kings/queens that each rule an independant kingdom, but sort of work together in a council like fashion?

Theocracy we should come up with a religion and doctiriens for, since that will shape what they do and how they have grown.

I agree with anons about the multi-race republic, it seems too advanced for the setting as we know it

The motives of power always take precedence in theocracies. Buddhism (or any religion) is just an excuse to impose power relationships like slavery on people - the religion will simply change to accommodate that. You'd need a religion that has inherent moral authority and checks and balances built into it that favor the people. And even then you'll have issues with mutability of religious law/doctrine, like how Islam was progressive back when it was introduced but is horrible now.

While yes true, because this is fantasy that doesn't need to be so. Not because we can just make the rules, but because they could be founded in truth and actual goodness. A city that worships a Dragon Lord that provides stable weather and protection, could be just that. He could just be slumbering in a mountain somewhere and his presence keeps most monsters away who dont wont to wake him, and his occassional fire breath snore, works to create a mini-weather effect that ensures periodic rains.

Hell, he might have been sleeping for the last 500 years and no even know a city nearby is worshipping him as their Patron,

Sure, you just have to get rid of all of the usual suspects of bad behavior. That means a lot of human nature.

Suspicion, greed, pride, jealousy, these all can destabilize the scenario you propose. For example:
>The city gets suspicious about the nature of the dragon and wakes him up accidentally
>People get greedy and want to profit off of the dragon in ways that benefit them over others
>The city gets too proud and picks a fight it can't win, gets wrecked, dragon wakes up
>Jealousy causes all sorts of in-fighting which usually destroys nations

I think the setting is interesting because it still has human nature embedded into it. There are plenty of evil deeds but also plenty of good deeds in the New World. It's exciting that way and I wouldn't want to force something to be necessarily good or evil. All good things eventually turn evil. All evil things eventually turn good.

To be fair, there are a few more factors at play than "guy gets isekaied to a less shitty world and proceeds to shit on it just because ''muh friends''". There's the whole undead thing, as well as being surrounded by crazy evil villains, and the disconnect from normal people that comes from power.
That's why I've said I think if someone could get to him soon enough after isekai, he could be saved.
But things are shaping up such that all-out war is pretty much inevitable.

Well, I'd get summons with Divine Spellcasting and/or Martial Weapons, simple enough.

Do Faefolk do something special that makes them only summonable by Alraune Queens?
Actually, can't you just summon anything anyways as long as you have spellcasting? What's the point of the Faefolk thing then, just the unique NPC?

There were some guidelines back in the day, and at the time faefolk weren't summonable because of omission. Faefolk have now become explicit options for the Alraune and Oni specifically. Personally, I'd think fae in general would be right at home under nature magic. and I'd 100% support people getting away with fae summoning if they had the 'fairy' keyword in their spell disciplines

But yes, RAW, the Alraune Queen mention of Fae is pretty much just for a potential unique Fairy NPC.

As for what they can do... it's up in the air, but beating face and casting spells is a safe bet.

I have been tempted to do a 'summons DLC' in the past to try to codify this stuff, although at that point I'd practically be making a bestiary and that would be a massive undertaking

Personally, I'd go with just making a rule, so that other people can do the work for me and make what they want, while I keep the people mad at me to a minimum.

Maybe something like "summons get a racial job and a single class job; give them those abilities, then inflate their CL, ML and vitality until they are at the desired values." Let's you make something unique, but much less unique than a unique summon.

... or maybe something like "A summons gets Y keyword(s), + X keyword(s) per tier of summon spell", Possibly with some restrictions that it needs to share an amount of these keywords with the summoner, plus an amount of CL and ML and Vitality to balance.

The Tengrii (Empire)
Elective Monarchy
300 Years Old
Militarist, Authoritarian, Xenophilic, Expansionist
Capital: Divajin, Heavens’ Perch
Current Ruler: Aquila Kahn, indirect descendant of the former ruler of the Tengrii Empire, Kipiter Kahn

Brief Notes:

Birdmen mongols, who leveraged flight rather than horses. Fast flying armies and superior bows let them rapidly establish the largest empire in the continent's known history. However, their Kahn, Kipiter, was assassinated mysteriously, causing great unrest; and not long after that, mighty wild magic from an unknown source or perhaps a WCI stripped the ability to fly from a full generation of birdfolk. These two events ended their empire almost as soon as it began. Are responsible for dissemination of technology, letters and ideas across the continent, but didn't quite last long enough to fundamentally change the peoples they ruled over.

Notable relations:
Were an enemy of basically every other nation during recent history- most kingdoms are racist against birdfolk as a consequence, and many strongholds still have upward facing murder holes as a legacy of bird folk raids. The desert kingdoms and beastfolk tribes, however, show them great respect and deference, partly because their nomadic lifestyle makes them easy prey, and partly because the Tengrii brought them helpful technology and ideas; some current beastfolk chieftains are direct descendants of slaves given leadership positions to rule on the Tengrii's behalf. The Thoecracy, who suffered greatly at their hands for resisting their empire, like them least and would see them exterminated. The nearby dark kingdom is presently giving them grief.

For their part, The Tengrii believe themselves superior to everyone that can't fly naturally, although their laws of hospitality mean they aren’t total dicks to strangers- excepting elves, as they are suspected to have cast the wild magic that crippled a generation.

Xenophobic just means there is bias in that country for thier own race. Not that they actively purge or have different laws for other races which would be more fanatical xenophobia. Likewise most factions would almost need to be militaristic, those that arent get eaten by the ones that are. That isnt to say there cant be others but they need the circumstances to survive.

For Green, what if we go with a Feudal Elective Monarchy.

>Nation Name: Courovon
Type of State: Elective Monarchy
>Age of State: Very very old, but size and shape have changed dramatically over the years.
Cultural Ethics: Egalitarian, Xenophilic, Militarist, Materialistic
>Capital Name: The Capital changes with every election, current capital is Yorns Hold
Most Notable Traits: Prized Horses, Surprisingly democratic, Allotment Army
>Notable relations: Very close with Yellow (Aronbor), Aronbor was many many year ago actually apart of this nation, but split off peacefully. (Maybe as a reward? or vote?) They maintain very close ties, and still have some shared culture / language. Courovon trade wagons go everywhere, and are a welcome sight with few turning them away
Dramatis Personae (should probably go with 3 max again, either in the court such as the ruler, or other notables such as loyal heroes, or living weapons like Fluder or Gazef)

Other:
1. Almost everyone in Courvon has ridden a horse in their life-time, and some boast that their children learn how to ride one before they even know how to walk.
2. One of the larger nations, they maintain their borders though an allotment system, as well as good relations with their neighbours. Their southern border has castles, fortresses, and watch towers to spot for Goblin aggression. While they can't do well pursuing the goblins into the forests due to goblin trickery and the loss of their greatest strength (a fast mounted force) likewise, the Goblins can't do much significant harm due to how quickly a force can be rallied against them, and the overwhelming advantage mounted troops have on the plains.
3. By far most most of the land is arable with pastoral land in the south and east. This is fortunate for them, as live stock can be moved when raids are imminent.
4. Up northern and in wide expanses of plains that are too dry for most crops. the people of become the greatest horse-breeders

part 2

The land is lush, but the seasons can be quite harsh, likewise, the relative safety they have been afforded by thier geographic positioning means they spend most of their time plotting and fighting against each other rather than outsiders. This is because their elective system of rulership.

The "Prince" (ruler) is elected from among the great families, and they rule for life - as a king normally would. Upon their death, an election is held to find the replacement. This historically means that the only way to remove a Prince is assassination, and each family vies continually for favor with the others to have them support their claims for the position when the time comes.

The people are tall and fair. They hate to walk anywhere when they could ride. And ones Horse is often a visual identifier of their worth or status. Even women being known to ride mighty war horses rather than smaller daintier breeds.

The Courvon obsession makes horse breeding and horse racing important elements of their culture, and politics. Plots to undermine a rival’s horses are commonplace. Horse Races are one of the greatest events of the year, with the Prince attending the championship at the years end (traditionally).

Looking at whats written for Yellow, I don't get why it would fit better in Green? If anything I think they should have their territory expanded to border the Giant Mountains.

Heres my proposed changes to the map, big things are filling out the land masses to the north. As well as I noticed that the Birdmen and Underdark have a shared border, but it makes sense to me that they would actually occupy the same area, just different levels of it. Birdmen don't seem the sort to live in the mountain, likewise the Underdark doesn't need to "come up" to the outside world.

The main reasons would me accessibility to a mountain for their stoneworks, their good relations with dwarves and the fact that Green had more aggressive neighbors than yellow, promoting a more militaristic approach. Though all of this can be solved by expanding them to the mountains in the left

To this I add, we could make the east part of the Theocracy its own kingdom. This would reinforce that the lake pass is a point of political contention. The Beastman could go there for example, or something else entirely.

Also what’s the deal with the zone south of the Vikings ?

I think the first point was already resolved by extending their border to the giant mountains.

The beastmen seem like they could go in 1 of 4 places.

1. The East side of the Theocracy
2. The Blue
3. Right of the Blue, North of !Arab Kingdoms
4. South of Tengrii / Underdark.

Putting them East of the Theocracy would require them having some trump card as to why they manage to survive surrounded by humanoids.

Blue seems safe, but since they are already a colour maybe there is something intended for that area?

South of the Elf kingdom seems safe as well. If we made the Plains just Centaurs, then that gives them a nice border with a different type of beastman coalition.

Conversely, Bridging the Lizardmen - Tengrii gap makes them a triad of independant heteromorph nations that are probably uneasy allies against humanoid aggression (if it comes, maybe they are the aggressors).

Whereever they go we should look into how them being neighbours affects the region.

Actually, what if thats what they are. An "unclaimed region". Wild lands that only within the last 30 years or so became uninhabitable. Maybe some dread lord lived there but is gone or maybe the high elves controlled it but for /mystery/ have abandoned it. And its suddenly become overgrown with forests. Or something else entirely, but either way its a free for all. With the entire area controlled by local war lords, exiles, and anyone who wants to give it a shot to start a new life there.

Oh damn, was going to post picture with the changelog. Oh well

>>70917965
I did a dodgy mop up, with some slight differences for people to talk about.

I named everything something as well, but all of its placeholder if you have ideas throw em out.

Changes.
1. Named Viking area Svensk Norksa, extended it into the mountains and down to the south river as well.

2. Named all the dwarven kingdoms, I was getting sick of typing kingdom so labeled them as holds. The idea came late to name them after the mountain ridges they resided in, Trolskag was meant to mean Troll Hill or Troll infested.

3. Their is overlap between Trolskag Hold and Svensk, this is both due to 1 being underground and the other overground, as well as to show possible border disputes, either current or past. That is to say, the dwarves might consider the whole area "theirs" even if they dont use it.

4. Aronbor and Courovon go until the edge of the map, this isn't to remove the Spooky woods, but rather I was thinking of having 2 overlays, 1 which represents peoples borders and the other that represents what they actually inhabit / control.

5. Renamed Theocracy, It has the same sort of border issue talked about above, except this time with Tengrii, and the lands lost to orcs.

6. Wild Lands, Great Desert, and Marshlands, etc are named as such as this map would be from the perspective of humans with borders. They might recognise human nomads in the desert but not as a soveriegn entitiy.

7. I added "Underdark" to some areas outside of that mountain range, notably up in Svensk, in land lost to Orcs and the Beastmen area. This is to show either underwater passages, or isolated underdark caverns.

Im going for food now. Ask away if you think something is unexplained. Offer replacements for the names or build on the stuff if you think its worth building on.

I think the border colors should be bolder (in particular, Courovon, The Underdark, The Beastman Coalition, and the unnamed Indonesian-flavored country are hard to keep track of the borders) and the country names could be colored to make it easier to pick them out. I do like that you have overlapping borders to show contested areas (or underground areas in the case of the Underdark) but it does make things a bit of a mess.
I do like how things are shaping up!

Are you >>70917965? I agree with pretty much what Brainy said, in the spirit of group building. Ill offer that the Beastman Coalition should also have a section just above the word beastman, in the Tengrii area. My reasoning is if the Tengrii are expansionist, they would claim areas as theres even if they are inhabited by others, and since its forest they wouldn't be able to fight effectively against beastmen there.

Also depending on the Theocracys policy with Dwarves, maybe edge into the mountains there.

What would you put east of theocracy do we think? I was running out of ideas and more orcs seemed very generic, but im not super opposed to it myself.

The reason I had it as that, was imagining they once had like a circle in the center of the map, but lost the mountain part to the Tengrii expansion, and the western part to orcs. So it sort of fits they also lost the east to something else, just no idea what could go there.

I was thinking more like the traditional fantasy Human kingdom. The Re:Estize, the Gondor, of this continent. Adventurer central, essentially.

Hmm, okay okay, but what makes them different to Aronbor or Couvon? Aronbor in particular sounds like it already meets that sort of requirement, but ill reread it to make sure im not misremembering

Aronbor are isolationist xenophobic Romans, they don’t quite fit.
Courovon are horse nuts and are essentially the Rohan. And their farming focus makes them kinda more hearty friendly bumbkins.

A more balanced kind of nation still has its place, I think.

fair enough, I saw the xenophobic(-) as being they look down on non-humans, but not like hating on them. Sort of like second class citizens, which sort of fits the Roman thing.

What about then moving the Orcs to that area, and moving humans into where the orcs are now. Looking again at the map its pretty much humans in the north half, and heteromorphs in the south. It would be nice to mix things up abit

Uh, what? They have a similar horse thing sure, but thats about it. They have houses who vote on a leader not a king, they seem to politic a lot and deal with infighting as their primary issues due to safety, not a warrior breed hardened by constant enemy strife.

Imagine anon going to all that effort of writing up 2 posts of stuff for them to be wrongly summarized as !Rohan because they have horses. They could as easily be summed up as !Dothraki.

Well yes, but he is also not wrong, neither Aronbor nor Courovon fit the idea of generic European kingdom.

One thing that would be cool to see is a scale. Idk what sort would be good so I get it if we cant add it. But I think it would be cool

I think the Greenskins and potential not!Gondor are good where they are. And it makes sense for Humans to be packed in a single side of the map, if at least for shared cultural background. On another note, this reminds me we need to flesh out the Theocracy.

Dothraki do fit better, sorry for jumping to hasty conclusions, I don’t know much of Game of Thrones.

So to sum Things up , the to do list is adding a nation to the west of the theocracy , adjusting borders and making everything more vividly colored and a scale?

To the east of the west, actually ? In the west part thay have a more central position, which makes trade easier and facilitates adventurers, but in th east part they also can be friends with the Dwarves and they are closer to the High Elves as well.

Forgot to add, but there’ll be 2 distinct political map modes, one de jure and one de facto, representing the considered territories and the actual occupations respectively
