Sounds like a plan! The Vast Swamp a definite --- the Solistarim
if it can be fitted in equitably....in exchange for the Valley of the Mage

(....sorry Jaran Krimeeah, but Acererack's use for you is no more!)

Agreed.

Serpenteye: Dear GM, my comp is broken ... and I have strictly limited acces to Internet. Barely to keep up with news, I'm afraid. :uhoh: :mad: :\

Hope to repair it in time for start. :)

Can I claim Ivid and his city ?

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.

My (potential) armies seem to mostly consist of Humans and Elves, plus at least 9 to 11 Epic Wizards (depends).

Are there any unclaimed areas in the immediate vicinity of my presently claimed areas? I've been lost long ago with all these claimings.

Nope. It seems you're pretty much hemmed in. A real pity since you were one of our first joiners...

On second thought. The Sepia Uplands are unclaimed, they are now yours. The Burneal forest is also unclaimed, and though it's a dangerous monster-filled place you could have imposed your control over it.

William Ronald has a far-flung Empire to your west, north and south, maybe he would be willing to part with some of his territories (perhaps in exchange for an alliance?)?
The lands of the Wolf Nomads, the lands of the Tiger Nomads, the Rovers of the Barrens, the Barren Wastes and the Forlorn Forest are all claimed by him and would fit your faction as well.

Though I believe the Barrens and the Forlorn Forest should go to Iuz. It was only an oversight that made me grant them to William Ronald in the first place.
The areas have no connection to the Bakluni, and it would certainly have been in Iuz' power to crush most rebel forces in those territories (which are shown as parts of the Empire of Iuz on most maps I've seen).

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)
 

Edena_of_Neith here.

My apologies to you, Forsaken One. And my apologies to you, Melkor. I do not understand why I am confusing your names, and will try not to in the future.

- - -

I am currently updating the roster.

Serpenteye, should I double the populations (take a look at my megapost first) ?
To the Elven Players: Should I post more background material about the elves (you set down a MASSIVE amount of background material in this thread with links) for your nations?
And, are you claiming those forests on the long list above? (I would argue that those forests are worth claiming.)

Serpenteye, I have no 'country'. Heh. When you take 2 steps out of a drow city, you're in the deepest wilderness!

Xael gets the Valley of the Mage, then.

So Devilish has the Solistarim and Acererak?! A fitting match ... and GODS HELP US ALL. BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID.

I am continuing to read your articles and update the roster.
 

((Population x (Tech Level+5))/200'000) should be a little clearer. When I get back this afternoon I'll see about updating the LGG list again.
 

I believe Melkor had previously claimed Ivid and the City of Rauxes.
I will put Ivid in Rikandur's column, but I consider this a Contested Claim.

Melkor, what say you? Do you wish to maintain your claim? Or relinquish it to Rikandur?
 

Quick question. If you use a 10th level spell to cast this:

* Enhance a number of individuals permanently. It can give them enhanced ability scores, natural, extraordinary or supernatural abilities. The lesser the number of people affected, the stronger the effect. In game terms it increases your Elite PL by 100.

Can those PL be converted to Epic PL and then sacked for magic?

That is, can you get 11% closer to 11th level spells per 10th level spell cast?

(I'm hoping the answer is no :) )

Not that a big deal, I wasn't sure how much I could actually claim. But I have a nice base with Perrenland in center it seems. :)

On second thought. The Sepia Uplands are unclaimed, they are now yours. The Burneal forest is also unclaimed, and though it's a dangerous monster-filled place you could have imposed your control over it.
Cool. Not that I have any idea about those areas anyway, but...
 

Questions to everyone

Serpenteye: Are my population figures on the megapost correct? Or should I double them as suggested? Could you make rulings on populations for areas where no official populations are given? Could you make population rulings on the Solistarim and Empire of the Yuan-Ti? Also, do you see any glaring errors or omissions in my work?

To everyone: Could you check your roster, and correct me on any errors, and give me any additional information you want put in?

To ALL the Elven Players: Do you wish me to put more of the elven background (a massive amount of which was posted on this thread under sblocks) in your roster descriptions?

To the Elven Players again: You listed all those forests. Are any of you claiming any of them. If so, could you ask Serpenteye for population figures? Does anyone else want to claim those forests?

Demon Athiest: Are you there?
Gnomeworks: Are you playing?
Mr. Draco: Should I delete Mr. Draco from the roster?

To everyone:

Celadon Forest and the Knights of Luna now seem to be contested powers.
Who are they going to?

Is anyone claiming Greyhawk and Dyvers?
Is anyone claiming the Grandwood? The Lone Heath? These are outposts of Good in the general evil of Aerdi.
Is anyone claiming the ruined land of Medegia? The ruined land of Almor?
What is the status on the Lordship of the Isles and the Hold of the Sea Princes? Who holds them?
Is anyone claiming the Good nation of Ratik? The neutral barbarian nations (the Frost, Snow, and Ice Barbarians.)

To Airwhale and Zelda: I have I have removed Dyvers and Greyhawk from your claims, and given you Irongate, to the loss of Nac Mac Feegle.

To William: Based on Serpenteye's ruling, I put the Forlorn Forest, Barrens, and Rovers of the Barrens into Rikandur's hands. Serpenteye is wondering if you are willing to relinquish additional territories to Rikandur.

To Venus: Is Orcreich an advanced nation of intelligent, progressive orcs? Or is it a nation of just regular hordes of orcs? What are Upper and Lower Khanate like? What kinds of populations are we talking about here?

To Xael: Your power is too small, in my opinion, based on the escalation of power strength since claims began. Serpenteye can look at this and verify it, or repudiate it. I strongly recommend you seize one of the major nations off-map.

To Venus: I need a description of Upper and Lower Khanate. Serpenteye, I need rulings on the populations of these western nations.

To Forsaken One: I need a ruling on your population. Considering the nature of trolls, I'm betting your population is huge. Also, since this is a druidical troll/sahuagin nation, I hope you'll give a background for your power. It looks exotic and very interesting.

To Rikandur: Ivid is as crazy as people say he is. He thinks the Empire of Aerdi is still completely intact. To say otherwise is treason, and he will condemn you to the Endless Death, or worse, on the spot. Needless to say, Rauxes is quite a funhouse these days.

To Thomas: Your power is too small, considering the power escalation going on. Serpenteye can confirm or repudiate this. I strongly recommend you seize one of the large western nations off-map.

To Paxus: Are you going to claim any of the off-map mountain regions? There are plenty and to spare. Of course, if you do, you will cause no end of grief to certain people!

To Nac Mac Feegle: Unless your psionicists are much stronger than anyone thinks, you are underpowered, and in the same boat as Thomas, above.

To Melkor: Again, Ivid just got awarded to someone else. I had you with Ivid. Do you wish to relinquish your claim to Ivid, or hold onto him?

To Knight Otu: Can you give me a description of the Cult of Ashardalon?

To James: I need Serpenteye to rule on your population.

To Guilty Puppy: Remember that the Scarlet Brotherhood forcibly recruited a MASSIVE number of Hempmonalander natives, built MASSIVE fleets, and readied them for war. That was 20 years ago, too. They've had 20 years to grab additional massive numbers of Hempmonalanders, and to build more massive fleets.

To Eluvan: I would recommend claiming the small forests (such as the Axewood) in and around Keoland.

To Devilish: So you have both Acererak AND the Solistarim ... mercy on us all! (be afraid, folks. Be VERY, VERY, VERY afraid.)

To Creamsteak: You are placing a claim on ALL the illithid of Oerth? (excluding those specifically attached to a power, like those in the Solistarim.) Serpenteye, is this claim granted? What is Creamsteak's population count for his power?

To Bugbear: The Elven Players have talked about all those forests. You have numerous forests in your area. Are you claiming any of them?

To Anabstercorian: The power inflation has left you underpowered, unless the secrets of Castle Maure are truly vast. I would consider claiming another nation, but considering your power, I don't know what I'd do. My regrets.

Yes Edena, I have claimed Ivid. But we can say that both Rikandur and I try to to subvert the mad Undead King.

Serpenteye, I suppose I should keep my population numbers not much higher than Edena`s final? How about:

2000 Vampires
10 000 Vampire Spawn
50 000 of servitor Undead
100 000 Duergar
over 2 million servitor Humanoids

And I repeat the question about Kua-Toa society, does anyone have any knowledge on them?
