MiloNelsiano Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I'm not entirely sure what you mean by invade. Can you bring an army and claim a territory within Avalonia as your own? Sounds fine to me. Are you looking to start a war with the Guild? That might not fly. Usually the rule is as long as you don't effect anyone else's story or lore, you can do what you want. However, starting a war would effect everyone, so I'm not sure invading in that sense would be good. Regardless, you're certainly welcome to peacefully join Avalonia! Quote
TitusV Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Wow.. Spent the last...... Must be few hours.. Going through the 84 pages of this post. I have to say I'm overwhelmed with the brilliance of wat I have seen and read.. Recently came through the dark days and have spent last couple years restocking a very dwindling collection, moved house and finally got my man cave (converting old shed/workshop) So.. Hello all .... I have one question .. Has anyone or (could I) INVADE your beloved avalonia ? ((Am I sayin I have acquired an army capable? Do I have the resources? Do I have the power.?.)) Just a curious question Mitch Hoping to be apart this amazing forum Honestly... I wouldn't know. Why don't you join us though? Incading Nocturnus or Kaliphlin is way more funny Quote
Bregir Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Hi Mitch, I am all for new thougts and inputs, but since that isn't really how GoH works, I think you will need to elaborate a bit on your thoughts and ideas, before I can comment any further :) Events affecting the "global" story and development of Historica are typically driven by the main challenges, arranged and coordinated by the guild leaders. That way, there is cohesion to the story and no one gets trampled. That said, some builders have managed to affect the overall storyline through creating stories (sometimes in collaboration - see for instance the nocturnian resistance story) for their own lands and characters that tie into the overarching storyline. Creating the lore of histories Historica is really a collaborative effort. :) I wiped also echo Milo's point about not affecting others. Of you create something interesting that others can tap into that is great, but it should never be forced. Like all other RP, it should always be opt in, not forced in ;) And of you ever have any doubts as to how something fits into someone else's story, write them a pm to ask. Most people are happy to cooperate, but few like to have anything forced up upon them. Lastly, to claim great power is not enough in Historica. You have to make your claim credible, through builds and stories. See for instance Maxim's Mpya Stedor for someone who has built (quite literally :P) a position of power. You probably already know most of the above, but I hope it helps a little bit anyway. Looking forward to hearing more of your ideas! :) Quote
Dr.Cogg Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Also it helps to know what kind of figures and parts you have, because each guild has it's own geography, for example: Avalonia: is more a classic castle, Arthurian legends fairy tale type land. Kaliphlin: Is an Arabic, Asian influenced land. Mitgardia: Is a Norwegian Vikings legend type place. Nocturnus: Are the Darklands where only the strong survive. Here are some pictures for inspiration: Avalonia Kaliphlin Mitgardia Nocturnus Edited October 23, 2015 by Dr.Cogg Quote

Or was it something like "Who in his right mind uses the same letters twice in a word"? I'll have to change guilds to one that doesn't have letters that are getting omitted Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Hey all, it's been pretty quiet lately. Final wrap-up chapter for Osrics tale is coming soon. Whenever my last bricklink order finally shows up I'll hopefully be able to finish it (I sure hope I ordered enough of certain pieces). Edited October 29, 2015 by MiloNelsiano Quote

Rogue Angel Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 Alright, back again to post. I do monitor this thread regularly, but I typically rely on DG (he is running Avalonia right now after all...), Bregir, or other willing Avalonians to answer questions that arise. I add members to the frontpage occasionally, but typically they have to have GoH builds before I will. We get plenty of members that post a sigfig, then never post another build. Titus - I didn't add your territory previously because I could not view it. The next time I update the map, I will add it in. Updating the map takes a bit of effort do to the inconvenient way I have it formatted, so It will be a little bit yet. Welcome to Mr. Greeble, Jasper Moors, Brickon, Dzidek and Faladrin! Nice builds from Bregir, Titus, LordofDan, Frumpy and Milo! Mitch, feel free to create an invading force in Avalonia. Just pick a region like everyone else does, and then you can say that your residents are aggressive/spys/invaders, whatever. Beerbeard did something similar a while ago. You don't have to be pro-Avalonia to be in Avalonia. You won't, however, be able to fight other members directly and take over their territory. You will have to go about it more vaguely, or just post build about treasonous acts or isolated encroachments into other areas. I don't think I've seen any Task 6 or Task 7 builds yet. Anyone working on anything for either one? As a reminder, please continue to post links to your freebuilds in this thread, as some of you have been doing, or post links to your other builds in each build you post (like MiloNelsiano). This also makes it much easier to track what you've been building. I keep a log of everything that happens in this thread, so if you don't post a link to it here, I might easily miss it. If you want to catch up by posting your links now, that would be great, but please post all your links in one post, without pictures. Quote

Tezclatipoca Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Welcome to Mr. Greeble, Jasper Moors, Brickon, Dzidek and Faladrin! I don't think I've seen any Task 6 or Task 7 builds yet. Anyone working on anything for either one? Thank you. I have planned to make a trade mark as soon as my realm trade roads will be re opened (as it is the main problem in my story of The Restauration of Falahuas). I am working on the next build for my story so I hope I will be able to post it soon but it took me time as I had to try and retry some designs and techniques to be satisfied. I would like to know if it is possible to have trade with some other Historians as the Nocturnus rebels or with some Ulandus partisans or with the High Council without making diplomatic mistakes ? I thought supporting some kaliphlinites after the civil war and after my port repairs. Is it possible ? Quote
de Gothia Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Benoic, my county have trade and an alliance with Barqa in kaliphlin. So you can always PM one kaliphlin member and ask!:) Quote
Rogue Angel Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 You can associate with anyone you wish. Be prepared for some discontent if you're planning to collude with unsavories (Drow, etc.) but you are not limited by Guild or conciense if your character is not. Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Benoic, my county have trade and an alliance with Barqa in kaliphlin. So you can always PM one kaliphlin member and ask!:) Ah ok cool ! As I have agreement from the other part I can do trade roads, but that's the way of trading... Both parts have to reach an agreement, so glad to see this is possible. You can associate with anyone you wish. Be prepared for some discontent if you're planning to collude with unsavories (Drow, etc.) but you are not limited by Guild or conciense if your character is not. That is good to know trade is really open. However, Lord Faladrin surely would not trade with Drows as they attacked and pillaged his city. I thought just asked some Ulandus partisans and/or some Nocturnian rebels some trade agreements. So, thanks to you two for your quick responses. Quote

And to be recognized in name is a great accomplishment - thank you, Rogue! Always happy to assist. About task 6 and 7: I have a lot of ideas - just have a lot of other things going on that takes precedence right not. When I post my plaza build, I expect to include the first instalment to the Trifork Textile Guild (task 6). I have a few freebuilds which have not been linked here - I will do so when I next post a new build. On a side note, if you get the time, task 4 have a few questions posed that requires your attention. It may also need a general update. (If you need help keeping that up to date, I will be happy to help.) Thank you.

I thought supporting some kaliphlinites after the civil war and after my port repairs. Is it possible ? As others have said, you are pretty much free to do as you please. I would suggest either PM'ing those you wish to trade with, or simply make a build with an emissary and an offer of trade - in the latter case, other builders can reply with a build, and the agreement may even be reached without "metagaming" (without previous OOC agreement, I mean.). Good luck in establishing trade - you are of course welcome to reach out to the Trifork - Beorthan is always interested in opening new avenues of trade! Quote
SarahJoy Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Ruadh has long hosted merchants and traders from across the guilds, with some of the finest artisan goods from some of Historica's most reputable trade marks. We welcome all goods or services that fit well with the Ruadhi concept; please feel free to PM me. Quote
LegoEomer Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 So, can I just put my sigfig's story without the sigfig then post the sigfig later? Or no? Quote
Bregir Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I would suggest putting up some sort of sig fig with the story, and then update it later, when you have the right parts. We will be happy to have in our ranks! :) Quote
LegoEomer Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Actually, my camera's broken and I really want to write the story. Edited November 8, 2015 by LegoEomer Quote
Rogue Angel Posted November 8, 2015 Author Posted November 8, 2015 You can feel free to post the story, it's just that the sigfig officially marks your joining of the guild. It's the minimum requirement for entry. Quote
LegoEomer Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Name: Thomas Title: Knight Age: 25 Weapon of choice: Sword History: Born the youngest son of a lord, Thomas trained under a knight from a young age. At 21, he was knighted, and served under Avalonia's ruler, Lord Artorious Rex, in the elite "Flight of Dragons." After the battles to rid Avalonia of evil, Lord Artorious Rex awarded him the land of Avon, which he built a castle, his home, on. He then got married to the daughter of a lord. For a four years now he has ruled, and has been popular among the people. Edited November 24, 2015 by LegoEomer Quote
