If you can, either change that to a *.png or a higher compression jpg. Half a meg is pretty big for the sparse level of detail needed to tell me what goes where

524?!? Mine's only 40K. How much did you zoom that in, because that's a huge JPEG.

Edit: Heck, the PNG of the entire original map is only 41K. How did you manage that?

Slaves consists primarily of petty criminals like thieves... put them to use rather than executing them...

I have slavery, primarily in agriculture, but religious prohibitions against brutality and statutory limits on the power of the owner (again motivated by religion) would significantly reduce the horrors of the system.

I have a question:
How are legendary characters going to be handled? I'm talking about people like Achilles and Odysseus, and so on.

As Vampires werre handled last game- for cinematic purposes, in agreed-upon epic engagements and feats.

Gah. Missed alot of convo here. I'm in, working on my nation now. Save me a small spot in Gaul, Im aiming for either a regional or medium power.

Tycho, you can go in the notch between Germany and Normandy, with the British landbridge, sound good?

Without a doubt, though the slaves are considerably less than what you'd probably expect because we really have no problem butchering entire cities, and then calling it justice. I'm going to be playing out political dissent, and different view points of how the future if my nation should go after the current head, the only remaining person who was of the prophet's party, dies out. Some will want to burn everything in the path of the armies, others will keep the relativley "moderate" policy that we have now going, while others still want to sit down and consolidate, while preparing for the next wave.

Also, seeing as how I've grown pretty big in a relativley short period of time, yet NOW everyone's gearing to stop me, how about we say that the Jihad just battered down a regional power in the neiberhood, and now everyone's willing to take notice of us because before you all just thought of us as a roving band of Barbarians (which we are, in a way)

Any problems?

We shall get there, if it is by bluster alone we shall arrive in Europe and CONQUER YOU ALL before the game is done.

I say again: You can just bring it. You'll never take the mountain-holds, not after bleeding yourself by fighting all the way across Europe. You simply won't have the strength.

So, I am to understand that Sea Skimmer finally registered his North African empire, and I should take those territories off of my map?

Thirdfain · Post by **Thirdfain** » 2004-09-27 10:03pm

No word from Sea Skimmer yet. So, you still have the African region.

Okay. It's just that the color of the North African territory has changed on the new map, from red to light blue.
