    They should be doubled. I will be making rulings on all nations and territories. Who's claimed the Knights of Luna? Celadon Forest belongs to Bugbear, but Thomas has a strong influence in the area. Most territories have some influence by factions or groups other than the official owner of the...

    I've updated the rules again, changing the equation for the maximum possible IC of a territory, lowering the cost of technology by half and reducing the cost of High Magic. ((Population x Tech Level+5)/200'000)

    Agreed. Damn, I'm really sorry to hear that Rik. I hope you're able to get it fixed soon. :( -- Colourful as always :D. Ivid has no great love for Ashardalon and his stolen empire, but you if anyone should be able to keep him in line. Claim Granted. Nope. It seems you're pretty much hemmed...

    DEVILISH That is rather little, even though you will have a lot of Elite and Epic PLs and the benefit of much of your faction being Undead. It doesn't quite add up, though... And in the greater scheme of things you're not particularly powerful. Maybe you'd like to add (a somewhat toned down...

    3 million people is a decent amount. In addition to all your other claims your total population would be about 3'500'000 people, which is on the low side of high but considering your other advantages quite nice. - Do you have the figures on the other planetoids? I suppose that if your...

    This looks a lot more realistic to me. I'll probably increase the populations of the orc and goblinoid regions further, because they're such prodiguous breeders. They'll be assigned separately, I doubt they were included with the human countries. :) It's really up to what you would prefer...

    You can add claims to territories which have not yet been claimed by another player. You do seem to have a very good claim on some other territories (Celadon in particular) so maybe you could come to an agreement with the other players who have been granted control of those territories? You...

    Looks good :). Thanks. Hmm, well. William Ronald certainly knows a lot more about Greyhawk than I do. (That's not false humility but the absolute truth.) Still, my intuition is telling me that not all those tiny geographical features are independent functioning countries on their own. I have...

    You can, but that might actually make you more vulnerable than if your power was more concentrated. Travel in the Underdark is quite time-consuming, and not all cave-systems even connect. You have an advantage, though, of being able to live in the deepest and most remote of locations since your...

    The population actually seems very low for your faction. I would expect a population of several millions in a territory of that size. The maximum amount of IC you would get per turn in the beginning of the IR with that kind of population is only 13 (850'000 x 1+2 /200'000 = 12,75) That's...

    The Iron League (Idee, Sunndi, Onnwall, IronGate and the Iron Hills) could fit well as a front. I'm not sure about giving out any special bonus for telepaths, but PLs can not be infiltrated so your high-level psions are safe. Your power will vary from faction to faction, but though you will not...

    Eh, sorry. I was mistaken before, confusing the Gamboge with the Phostwood :o . It does look like Edena has claimed the Gnatmarsh, or perhaps the lower Nesser river-valley, but the other territories are yours.

    That's all good. Ehm, you know what I mean ;). It adds even more flavour, but is not really a huge power-up for your faction.

    Yes, that's right. The only way of losing IC is to ruin the province, by scorched earth warfare, massive pillaging, High Magic or natural catastrophies. Your effective IC (the amount of PPts you get out of the province each turn) can also be reduced by reducing the population in the territory...

    Pirates... :uhoh: So, your faction is also going to be Evil? ;) He's yours. You can define your PC and NPCs freely. Just keep in mind that you (most of you) have few druids and don't go too overboard with high-level NPCs, because your Epic PL will be limited.

    The Hraak and Suss forests are yours. The Blemu hills are a part of the Bone March. You can claim the whole area and either come to an agreement with Knight Otu (who I just suggested could choose it, but really you are just as eligible) or you could fight it out. -- Generally, minor natural...

    Ivid the Undying was the last High King of the old Empire of Aerdy, a nation that once held all the lands from Furyondy to Sunndi but later fell into internal decay. Ivid the Undying tried to halt the nations descent into weakness, but trough his incompetence and paranoia only made the situation...

    The Rules of the 5th IR Above all else the IR is a game about power. Power is, after all, the ability to affect the world around you. There are many different expressions of power. A brilliant speech or diplomatic negotiation can in the right circumstances guarantee your victory. Propaganda...

    Those areas all border your main territories and fit together nicely thematically. Granted. The Adri forest and Gamboge would be contested with the Ice Elves and Iuz respectively, a situation that could give you a good legal justification for war...
