[QUOTE="Derren, post: 7733920, member: 2518"] An interesting concept. I wonder if the [I]Temeraire[/I] novels also served as inspiration. (The novels have basically the same setting. Real history + dragons. Except the novels happen at the beginning of the 19th century and apart from dragons there are no supernatural elements, so no magic. Even that dragons only accept woman as captains are in there but only for certain breed for dragons. And the only major deviation from history at the beginning of the novels is that the Inca still exist as their dragons were able to fend off the conquistadors). I am not completely convinced about the starting adventure or rather one of its outcomes. That would complicate any followup adventure. Also I am not convinced that the living setting will work, especially if it would result in a crushing Spanish victory, a direction I think the devs don't want to go. I do wonder how the rules for dragon combat will look like, both human vs. dragons and dragon vs. dragon. Will they go "Eragon style" meaning 1 dragon, 1 rider or "Temeraire style" 1 dragon, 1 captain and as many musketmen as can fir on the dragon. I also wonder how deadly combat will become once cannons enter the field. I will certainly keep an eye on the system, even if only to to use it for an Temeraire RPG. [/QUOTE]
