Skyrim at War

Here is my final character.

Spoiler:

Eltee · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:50 am

Edited character. Added family, and he is now four years older.

King Acunasti · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:51 am

Your Houscarl doesn't scare me, Matt.

Arch-Mage Matt · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:55 am

I don't want to scare you. You're right next to me and have a history of being violent.

King Acunasti · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:56 am

REPUTATION ftw!

Arch-Mage Matt · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:57 am

I'm sure we can co-exist peacefully.

King Acunasti · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 6:58 am

I'm not.

Guys, we need to create some tension in this RP. Faldor rocks, but there hasn't been a war yet because everyone wants to remain blameless and respectable.

Arch-Mage Matt · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 7:10 am

No offense or anything, but I took being next to you into serious consideration when I tried to decide between Eastmarch and Winterhold. In the end Winterhold won.

I'm so alone all the way in the Rift

Do I smell or something like that?

OblivionDuruza · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 1:06 pm

I was thinking working out a grid for the map, there are roughly 30 settlements, and I was thinking of double that number of tiles.

Seeing as this is more of an experiment and practice for the possibility of doing a more mechanic driven "House Wars" and potential High Rock games in future, as such I'd be happy for your suggestions.

Eltee · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 1:13 pm

High Rock will be most interesting... In advance, I call Camlorn.
Nah, really though, with a slightly more functional (it doesn't have to be pretty!) map, and I think everything will be fine.

Crepe the Ashlander · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 1:22 pm

Should I do a character sheet now, or should I wait until a new map has been done, because I don't want to take a hold that will suddenly disappear or anything.

Edit: I wants to do a dunmer jarl, something along the lines, of his friend being the jarl before him, but his friend had no living relatives so the hold fell to the dunmer.

OblivionDuruza · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 1:31 pm

No this map will probably stay, and even if it changes, the cities and holds will not unless we go to a(n in my eyes inaccurate - thanks Bethesda for being so whimsical with Lore) 4th Era. That will depend on numbers I might add (8 is better suited for the 4th Era Map, which might see The Pale dropped). I've planned to do it up when I have a solid idea on numbers.

Anyhow, your application is a character sheet for a Jarl (he can be a Dunmer) and I'll sort out Holds, taking your preferences into consideration

JVElEven · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 2:38 pm

The only thing I'm peeved about is Markarth.

OblivionDuruza · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 2:46 pm

Beth swapped Markath and Karthwasten in Skyrim for some reason. Even the 3rd Era maps show them in each others location, so I don't know why they did it. Maybe because Markath is easier to say than Karthwasten?

Eltee · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 2:53 pm

The thing I am worried about, in particular within my prospective hold, is the position of the River Karth. Dragon's Bridge's location, instead of having strategic importance as a vital river crossing, is in the middle of nowhere.

OblivionDuruza · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 2:55 pm

I wouldn't worry that much about it, because in terms of the game mechanisms I'm working on, based loosely on those of the game Diplomacy, but also on Risk, that shouldn't be a huge element that might cost you. However, I can see your point, particularly from an RPing standpoint in terms of the strategy element. I've got some topography maps I'll look at.

King Acunasti · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 3:19 pm

So, when do we start?

OblivionDuruza · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 3:24 pm

In the new year, hopefully when we get two more players, otherwise I'll find a way to divide up the remaining holds in some way or another, or redraw the boundaries. I need time to fiddle with the map and so on too

King Acunasti · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 5:00 pm

I've added a bit of additional information to my sheet.

Eltee · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 5:14 pm

About what will be the approximate manpower of a Hold?

King Acunasti · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 5:16 pm

Probably not too much. It would be like the amount of people in each American state.

Eltee · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 5:18 pm

That helps a lot. Who's the unlucky bugger who gets North Dakota's pop?

King Acunasti · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 5:21 pm

*hides*

Arch-Mage Matt · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2011 11:44 pm

Thought. My ever devious mind needs to know if we can use spies. Possibly even assassins?
