Giorginetto, I think your view on this map is VERY different from my view. I really just want to use this map for adventuring. Having others on the map makes it a much richer adventuring ground. I don't have enough steck to make the town of Winterhaven. Which is a very small town. Fallcrest is a lot bigger and the Capitol of Belathre will be much bigger again. I don't have the klickies and never will to portay everything in "my" kingdom.

But like Tiermann has done. I love developing political stories about my kingdom have some tension between our realms or relationships through marriage and what not. I think this map will self police, if people don't like it they won't participate, and if the majority doesn't like the way a person participates they can ask the person to change the way they behave. Your suggestion only limits the people that can join and I really don't like the idea of this being exclusive because of that. I friend of mine is thinking of joining PF just because of this map idea. He doesn't own any playmobil but the fact that we are making a fantasy map together is just great.

In my opinion we do not regulate ANYTHING. People can use this map however they want. If they want some interaction with someone else from the map they arrange it together. For instance (and this is a genuine question):

tonguello: after the Winterhaven Tournament, what route did Sir Enok take? (knowing the western part of my lands is inhabited by vikings)

I really understand your idea, George but I think this is not the way I want to use this map.

I am in agreement with Gis. George I think you have a wargaming with models approach. Mine is more about fantasy and creating a world to set stories in.

We haven't formally arranged anything but my assumption is that there's a trade route by ship from a southern Belathre port city to the only northern port in Pavelonia - Cliffside. Most travel to the north and east is going to go out from Cliffside to Flowerland and Belathre. My only southern port at Tritonis Major is a small fishing port with a little trade traffic from the east via Sweetwater.

I have decided that the upcoming war with grangel  will be completely out of this map and will bear no relevance to this map or whatsover as i originally wanted and propoped .   From the beginning i made it clear that Krull would only declare war to another kingdom if the other kingdom/ player agreed beforehand to it via PM. And for example the battle between grangel and me was agreed before hand and discussed and just to let you know  we were both quite socked by some of the responses and i think it was obvious that the war with grangel which was  meant to be part of the fun and it was adding ( in my view of course ) a bit of spice and action in this map and world, is not welcomed here so it will stay in the war thread and there only ,without any references to this map or whatsover . I am quite uncomfortable having stated the above that other map participants didnt want to be neighbours with Krull, that comment in itself is insulting actually. its best that Krull leaves this map for good and that the war with grangel takes place in another thread/ different set up / story etc which it will .

Please give my lands to the Kingdom of Ithaca or whatever you decide to do with that part  and remove the Kingdom of Krull from this map. I want to stress that my intention was from the very beginning to contribute the most to this idea but many responses have put me off and therefore i withdraw my participation .

Please George reconsider your decision to leave from the map.I think that it would be better to move the Krull kingdom near Ithaka.Also the positioning of Forgotten Empire between me and George is mistaken.
Please stop building countries with natural mountain walls or great rivers in straight line.There is not a river that connects two seas or oceans. We have agreed to build a canal in my land because the land is too narrow between the lake and the ocean but suddenly more  rivers appearred greater than my canal in straight line that connecting the lake with the ocean.Maybe i should build a medieval spaceport after that in my land. ???

I am going to agree with grangel here!!!

George please reconsider!

I am very sorry to hear that the comments made here made you feel bad and I think we all agree that we need make sure this won't happen again in the future. I really enjoyed having you here and it made it more lively although your opinions sometimes are a bit different from the norm you made us think. I thank you for that!

The Kingdom of Krull should be on the map I say and should send a worthy Knight to the Jousting event in Salish that will be hosted there in a couple of month. I am def going make a photo story of the travels of my knight to the tournament.

Also the positioning of Forgotten Empire between me and George is mistaken.
Please stop building countries with natural mountain walls or great rivers in straight line.

I agre ewith you in general here as well grangel but what happened with the Forgotten empire is the opposit I think.

They ruled much more land but because of the united forces of the land working to dimish their power, they only have the land is depicted on the last map. They are only able to hold on to these lands because of the Natural barriers. There is still an outer region on the western side that will hopefully soon fall in someone else hands. But I really like the fact that the Empire is not easy to take because of the Natural barriers. It would give us a great common enemy to fight :-)

For the waters that are South of Belathre I propose the name "The Louna Sea" is that ok? WoT?

George I too wanted to wage wars so you are not alone


If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Come on George I don't want to hear such words from you, it is impossible to agree with you everyone in this forum, that's nature.
Some of the kingdoms that they have not big army will need "protection" from kingdoms like yours. You know what I mean  ;)
I also wondering why we are creating kingdoms and empires to be a playground ? I don't think so.
I want you here because maibe our kingdoms...not be very friendly, I am preparing for anything  ;D

yeah George please reconsider! There is room for everyone and we don't have to agree about everything... just accept each other's differences and respect all points of view. You are so passionate about this that some like to tease you but that's all.... no hurm intended!  :)

Just checking in, I like the Fallen Empire, and hope Georginetto stays on the map, even as an evil empire threatening to take over where the Fallemn Empire left off.

Sweetwater welcomes ambassadors and traders from any seagoing nations at either the Southern Capital City of Britport, or the Northern Port of Darkpool.

My High King will be using the black lion on red/white as his banner, because this is the most regal option I have. I don't mind other people using this in their nations too, but I have to use something I have in the real world or it'll be impossible to do photostories later on.
