Also I vote 48 hour turn-cycles.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game [Design Pretenders]
 

yea 48 hrs turn is good as long as you don't get people stalling every turn:)

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game [Design Pretenders]
 

Wakazashi and naginata, IIRC, though don't quote me on that.

48 hour turns sound good to me, though I'm willing to go shorter or longer if anyone has any other preferences.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game [Design Pretenders]
 

48 sounds just fine.

Re: SeaOfInnocence - All ages newb game [Design Pretenders]
 

Thanks Philo. That sounds right.

By "bio-anthropology" I meant Stargate: SG-1. My apologies.

Yup, that's the names for the weapons. And also going with the whole two-handedness thing, the only one-handed weapon mentioned before, the wakizashi, was basically the main thing, that separated a soldier from a samurai. If a person had a wakizashi, that meant he's from nobility, or a samurai, otherwise, without the wakizashi, a person was a mere soldier. It was the only weapon, that a samurai could carry into a household of another nobility.

So that leaves all the other weapons to the cannon fodder, hence - no shields.

And if we'd take into account all the other one-handed weapons, as I can think of this little sickle, the kama, that was used in Japan as a weapon, if I'm not mistaken, those were a reaction to the ban of swords for the common men. Farmers and other not so noble and cool people had to defend themselves, so they adapted. However, these adaptation, to my knowledge, were never widely used in armies and major battles.

Oh, and I agree with the 48h, got carried away : )

Server is up!

Yep! Already played my turn. If any of you would like to submit to the peaceful undead legions now, we would be happy to march straight to your capital and shake your hand, following by showering you with flowers.

Ps these provinces contain caps:
Caps:
10
26
33
37
66
72
113
133
134
136
169
173
188
205

And some starting locations are way better than others. (If you have 4+ provinces next to your cap you can gather much higher resources).

What's with the VP markers? They don't seem to match the capital #s. Is there a pic forthcoming?
