This is more like my style ... But there's a lot of different "philosophies" here, and, in a way, I guess that the idea of this place is to give means of interaction ...

In my own thought (my "philosophy"), I don't call playmobil by playmobil. In my thought and way of writing, they are portrait of us.

Wonderland, though, is a "Land of Chess", and it works very well ... Wonderland might be called Ludia :)

@Elric When I mentioned communication between worlds, I thought like Tir Nan Og, Wonderland, Oz ... I agree that some ways of mentioning these things make confusion with futuristic stuff, which I dislike either in my medievals! So I like your remark very dearly.

Maybe I'm just the odd ball out here and I don't want to hurt any feelings or offend anyone here but most of the names here sound great if this was a space theme or future planet theme map. These names just don't fit in with a medieval theme in my opinion. I think we shouldn't change anything. Or as someone else suggested, "The Land of _______". Maybe the land of Kings. Or Realm of Kings. 

I like the idea and the remark is oke, but where does it say it is an medieval map ???. I thought the idea was to have all kind of kingdoms, for those who don't have a lot of knights.

It should be here somewhere under this link link (rules of engagement)

from what i recall its bee agreed that this map/world  is set at a medieval theme/era and so far all the interactions/ photostories have been based on that . i think mixing al shorts will be wrong, a pirate and/or modern era world can easily be set but for those who have worked already with stories etc etc it wouldnt be very fair in my humble opinion to turn it all round and introduced in this world  all shorts of eras etc  :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Well that's clear then and I agree with the fact that mixing up modern/pirate with the mostly medieval stories is not fair. Besides, I wouldn't like it. My point was however the fact that my kingdom is less advanced compared to the medieval period. You could say older. Would that fit in?

if i recall correctly thats  fine and romans/ egyptians , cavemen i am sure non will object . we have previously agreed to keep gunpowder off and everything pre medieval is fine. just for hte record i have 150 gauls or so as part of the viking force  ;D

I think that that's fine. Even in real history, some civilizations were not able to move out of the Dark Ages in to Medieval times and, as a result, were less advanced.

I don't have a problem with using the caveman theme on this map. I plan on using the cavemen in Melnibone once they are released here in the U.S.

Eventhough the kingdoms will be place in the same world, each member will rule their land as they wish, meaning they’ll have as many races as they want, have magic or not etc, use the heraldry they need to use to match their collections, make it historically correct or not, etc.

That's a quote from the guidelines.
I think it is clear that "to each its own", right? I mean, to fit everyone's collection we decided that each one can do whatever they want with their land, though I think it would be better for everyone not to go to far away from the majority or the type of civilization the majority will use, becuase that person won't have much to interact with. You know what I mean? So medieval, vikings, romans, egiptians, gauls, fairies....etc. All that could be called a "kingdom" in real life or fantasy is fine.

BUT we could say that a "kingdom of policemen" wouldn't fit, though it is not forbidden, but a fantasy kingdom like that would stand (so far) alone and will have little possibilities of intertwine a story with the rest.

Another thing is we are not obliged to interact with EVERYONE. I hope that's clear too. So if some "historically correct kingdom" don't want to interact with a fairies kingdom, that's fine.

Please everyone re-read the guidelines  :)
Let's go back to topic  ;D
