I've always thought this would be awseome... ;) - Chénier 23:45, 22 May 2007 (CEST)
- Oh, I've burrowed the formatting from "Undead Battlemaster", by the way. -Chénier 23:47, 22 May 2007 (CEST)
Have you ever played Paradox's Victoria? If not it's a great look at this age. Malitia 23:51, 22 May 2007 (CEST)
- I Haven't, but it does look interesting. Just looking atthe wiki page gave me a few more ideas. -Chénier 00:13, 23 May 2007 (CEST)
Tom sharing the BM code? haha, I don't think so. But if he did I would be in for more an Ancient era timeframe, myself. It'd be similar to what we have now, but large empires would be more possible, you'd have less powerful cavalry, more important chariots and elephants. I'd romp around like Gilgamesh. word. Good stuff though, nice format. :p House Olik 07:14, 25 May 2007 (CEST)
- Haha, of course, it's an excellent format! But why the ancient era? Might be more interesting for warfare, but I don't see much RP potential... -Chénier 14:11, 25 May 2007 (CEST)
- Why not? I think there is as much opportunity for RP there as any other time. House Olik
- I don't know... Perhaps because I know very little about that time period, much less than I do about the medieval times (which in turn is much less than my knowledge about the past century). Though playing a celtic tribe sounds fun, I'd have no idea how to do it, hence why little RP potential (for me... And other people like me who have a very limited knowledge of the time period). -Chénier 21:50, 25 May 2007 (CEST)
- It's actually more simple. With all this industrialization and whatnot, a knowledge of technologies and history becomes essential towards building the flavor. More primitive the technology, however, means less attention on that, and more on the human relations which make RP worthwhile. And really, ancient era is not that different from medieval - it's still pre-industrial, so it's still agrarian, battles are fought in the same way, you got your heroes, farmers, emperors, kings, merchants. And it's not just limited to Celts and tribes, there's still the big Mesopotamian city-states and empires... Alexander, Rome, Carthage... not hard to access at all.

Timeframe
I've given a very wide timeframe, because I wasn't quite sure which one would provide more fun. The victorian era, or the era from 1917-1953, or even until 1991? -Chénier 00:16, 23 May 2007 (CEST)
I'll have to give it some more though as to how this would work... -Chénier 00:26, 23 May 2007 (CEST)
