Thanks for the help. I didn't want to mess it up.

I'm glad you like the guides

They're actually a lot of work to write, that one was like 8 pages long it Word.

I added some stuff to the Late Era Ulm page, I want to know what people think

hi upstreamedge, the stuff you added is not bad, but ...well.. could you expand it a bit ?
Maybe add a unit discussion (take the layout from Pangea early age) or list all the national spells. Or start describing some of the �ber-cool heroes of Ulm.

The text you wrote so far would fit very good in the genereal page about Ulm http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Dominio...ng/Nations/Ulm
to give people an idea how Ulm changed over the three different Era's.

I have added a sort-of template for the nation pages in the page for EA Abysia. Feel free to use it when filling out nation strategies and information. I'll be slowly filling them in, but feel free to help.

StrategyWiki: EA Abysia

Very cool ! Thank you, Morkilus !

That'll be really helpful to me, thanks.

I've decided to do MA Abysia next unless someone has already started that.

The point of a Wiki is that people add and correct the work of previous submitters and that no one has "dibs" on any particular section. Thus, do MA Abby and if someone manages to beat you to it, add your stuff to theirs.

That said, with so much left to do, I can understand the desire to avoid duplication of effort.

For my part, I have done the base work on EA Ulm, EA Mictlan, Helheim, and MA Ermor. It is all blatantly inaccurate and of dubious quality so I encourage people to go in there and fix it. Plus, I specifically insulted your mother and you really ought to go in and erase that part.

You got it on the second part there.

I'm not asking for dibs, but with more than 50 nations and a handful of complete guides, it'd be really disappointing if I put upwards of 40 hours of testing and whatnot, which seems to be about what's necessary so far(for me), and then spend 5-6 hours writing thousands of words about what I found out, only to find out someone already did it and my time would have been better spent doing a nation that no one has done any work on.

Adding a 30 second sentence to help us all work together is going to avoid headaches for me personally. That's all, I'm not trying to be important or better than anyone or anything like that, I'm just letting people know what's going on.

This is kinda why i separated "objective" information like units, national features, from strategies, so you can write without getting in the way of others. I kinda doubt it would be worth it to rework what has already been done, at least for now.

There's a template {{wip}} that lets people know you're working on a section. Just add it to the top of the page you're working on (be sure to, you know, actually work on it if you mark it). I went ahead and added it to MA abysia so you can see. (it's not that obvious though

)

Morkilus,
i started using to copy your gems into the not-yet existing nation guides. It is very useful, i was able to make the Atlantis guide more pretty with it. A small suggestion:
What do you think about moving the headline "National Summons" into two seperate Sub-headlines under the "Units" and "Commander" sections ? While most national summons will be units, some summons like Late Age Ulm Vampire Lords are Commanders.
Question: Where to put your wonderful guide template if someone is actually doing an Abysia Guide ?
