Umbra-Manis Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 What do you mean it is "better?" Is there a way to post pictures without a Flickr account? He is saying that flickr is his preferred method. I personally use bricksafe http://bricksafe.com/home Quote
TitusV Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) What do you mean it is "better?" Is there a way to post pictures without a Flickr account? Sure, I'd be happy to open trade routes with you, but where is Falahuas? Please show me a map. Thanks. Maybe there is, but i don't know a better way then Flickr. You can find a map on the frontpage of this thread. Faladrin, I would be glad to trade with you - if i didn't have to rescue my wife first. Edited November 23, 2015 by TitusV Quote

But As Umbra-Manis said there are many of others. Find the one you like and then show us your sigfig and your builds ! Lord Faladrin is really pleased to restore contact with avalonians : - LegoEomer, glad to see Braethus of Avion is ready to trade. I will looking forward to see how your lord looks like and see some build of you. consider Falahuas as a friend of Avion. - TitusV, Alric is always welcome in Falahuas. Hoping you will save your wife and revenge your eastern citizens. Great idea your saga in common with Bregir ! Quote
LegoEomer Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I have a few questions. If Avion is in eastern Avalonia, which is grasslands, can I still say that Avion is covered in forests? Can I say that my character participated in the "Flight of Dragons"? Is there any war, event, or challenge going on, like the Drow challenge? Quote

Is there any war, event, or challenge going on, like the Drow challenge? 1) i think you can 2) again, i think you can, but i'm not shure. 3) except from the Algus challenge, there's nothing going on. Hope that helped Quote
LegoEomer Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 That helped, but what is the Algus challenge? Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 That helped, but what is the Algus challenge? The Frozen Beyond contest. Quote
de Gothia Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Yes it can be covered with forests! Yes, you can be in the Flight of the dragons Quote
TitusV Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Yes it can be covered with forests! Yes, you can be in the Flight of the dragons Aren't all the lords/ladies of Avalonia part of the dragonflight? Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Yes it can be covered with forests! Yes, you can be in the Flight of the dragons Aren't all the lords/ladies of Avalonia part of the dragonflight? This is a point I'd like to clarify. Is there or not a regular army or at least, some regular army corps for all Avalonia ready to be recruited. I am asking that because I saw this Dragonflight story and I saw something about Rangers of Avalonia. And sure I want to be a ranger ! So I am asking too : are we automatically member of the Dragonflight ? Is there another military corp we could join ? Quote
de Gothia Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) where is the ranger thing? Is it something that a member have created for him/herself? The army thing is so open in GoH. All the lords have their soldiers who will answer if Avalonia is in trouble. But all lego factions are welcome in any guild! But Avalonia have more dragon knights and kaliphlin have more lions knights.. Kind of! :) Edited November 24, 2015 by de Gothia Quote
Bregir Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Hi There, Yes it is better to have a flickr account to post images. I will looking forward to your builds. Btw, here is the 4th chapter of The Restauration of Falahuas story. I made a little build to introduce my team and claim the Task 4 : Laborers category. I am thinking of building the quarry with the stone cutters but I don't have the bricks I needed to make it so it will come later. I made this build also to announce that I am ready to open some trade roads with firstly Avalonians and then be more active in the political, economical and storyline of Avalonia and of GoH. By this I am thinking by offering to every Avalonian who wants it to open a trade road to Falahuas and open a trade brand store in my city market. To do this PM me first and we will discuss of what brand and how you are seeing it in Falahuas. Then we will agree of the trade road, you will be able to make a build in my city market place. I am doing this first with Avalonians to test it and then I will open my market to every Member of GoH. I have now some questions : - Is it always possible to build in Albion ? - Is it possible to create a military corp for Avalonia ? For example, I saw Windusky qualified as Ranger of Avalonia, but I don't know if it is just a title or if it is a real group and, by this, I mean is it possible to organize the avalonian army to better it and make something to help our allies ? (I was thinking of the Nocturnian Rebels or the Kaliphlin High Council). This kind of group (a military corp as I see it) will be able to recruit more men through all Avalonia and by this way will help to create a great army for the guild. Is it possible or is it forbidden ? Sorry if this is a stupid question. And thank you for reading me. There is no such thing as a stupid question! (Apart from the "airplane on a conveyor belt"-thingy - don't go there! ) I think my Task 6 trade brand would be interested in opening up trade with Falahuas. I will contact you later, when I have finished some of the other things I have in my pipeline. Regarding your questions: - You can build in Albion if you claim a spot in this thread. It may need a bit of clearing up or refreshing, but it does do its job for the time being. - Technically yes - however, the Avalonian counties are very independent. That means that we all have our own "foreign" policy, and may back different sides in different conflicts, depending on preferences, trade interests, prior connections, personal connections, etc. Avalonia is a loose confederation, not a country with a single ruler, which means a common army might be a tough idea to sell! What I would suggest: If you establish a military corps, you can then send word out to the Avalonian lords, asking them (rather "us" ) to contribute with forces to this corps. However, that means you will have to negotiate the terms and conditions of this corps, as well as what rules govern its mobilisation and deployment. Otherwise, noone is likely to sign up. Could make for an interesting storyline, although I think it will be quite a task! Just don't expect everyone to sign up for it. (The Trifork, for instance, may be reluctant to give over control of its forces and foreign policy ) Windusky created a group of Avalonian rangers on his own initiative (more or less), so if you wish to join them, I would really ask him. As with (almost) everything else, they are a creation of a builder or group of builders. And if enough people support an idea, it may grow to an influential organisation in Historica. (Just like in real life). The important thing is to make your initiatives "opt-in", so that people have the opportunity to join, instead of superimposing storylines, organisations, or actions on anyone. Hope that makes sense! What do you mean it is "better?" Is there a way to post pictures without a Flickr account? Sure, I'd be happy to open trade routes with you, but where is Falahuas? Please show me a map. Thanks. You will need some sort of picture hosting site to post pictures here. Flickr is a really nice solution, but there are plenty of other options. I use flickr, and it is easy to use and have very little downtime. Some other sites are specifically Lego, which (in my experience) makes them a little less professional and polished. On the other hand, you will find only Lego-related pictures there, which some may prefer. I don't think Falahuas have been put on the map yet, but I am sure Faladrin will be able to provide a link to his map. I have a few questions. If Avion is in eastern Avalonia, which is grasslands, can I still say that Avion is covered in forests? Can I say that my character participated in the "Flight of Dragons"? Is there any war, event, or challenge going on, like the Drow challenge? 1. Eastern Avalonia is generally grassy plains, but surely Avion can be a forested part of the plains. That is what task 3 is for! 2. The Flight of Dragons was a more prominent force in book 1, as far as I know. However, technically the "Flight of Dragons" is made up of the Lords (and Ladies) of Avalonia, so I see no reason why not to. For now, it seems to me that it is mainly a ceremonial title, as it hasn't been mobilised as long as I have been in Historica. (And I think Beorthan is to young to have been actively participating in its prime) 3. The 7 tasks are all ongoing. (See the first page of this thread ) Further, the Algus challenge/Frozen Beyond contest is currently open, and that one looks like great fun! This is a point I'd like to clarify. Is there or not a regular army or at least, some regular army corps for all Avalonia ready to be recruited. I am asking that because I saw this Dragonflight story and I saw something about Rangers of Avalonia. And sure I want to be a ranger ! So I am asking too : are we automatically member of the Dragonflight ? Is there another military corp we could join ? See above about the Dragonflight and the Rangers. Further, as I wrote above, Avalonia is made up of a number of highly independent counties, each fielding their own armies. Collecting us all under one banner is going to be a challenge, as we all have our own political interests, and may back different sides in different conflicts. (Such as the Kaliphlinite or Nocturnian Civil War.) Perhaps, in the case of an invasion of an outside enemy, we may unite to expel the enemy, but I doubt you will see one regular Avalonian army. At least the Trifork will be reluctant to commit to the formation of such a force! I hope this clarifies some of the questions above. If you have further questions, let me know, and I will try to answer to the best of my ability. If I have gotten something wrong, let me know too - the above is a reflection of my personal perception of Avalonia. Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Ok thank you very much for the answers ! It made it all clear. I just saw the Albion topic in details. And Wow ! I think it would be great to refresh it a bit and make some amazing builds in the capital city of Avalonia again ! For the army, I will contact Windusky as it seems the Rangers are a military corps he founded. Ser Beorthan and the Trifork have Faladrin and Falahuas friendship. You will be always welcome. I will look forward for your message in order to set up your trade brand in my city market. Quote
de Gothia Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Bregir: I hope you and your army will come if Avalonia needs help! You have swore loyalty to us you know!;) (as all characthers have in Avalonia!) Edited November 25, 2015 by de Gothia Quote
Bregir Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 My lord Regent - Should a foreign force invade, you may count on our full commitment to the defence of Avalonia. However, on matters of foreign policy, the Trifork reserves it's right to full sovereignty. We will not risk to have our forces deployed on foreign ground against our interest! Should you wish for a confirmation of such a solely defensive pact, you need but to ask! Yours truly, Lady Mariana, On behalf of Ser Beorthan Lord Mayor of the Trifork Quote
LegoEomer Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Sorry, if this is getting annoying, but I have a few more questions. Where and what is Valyrio? Is there anything else outside Historica? Like other continents? Is it possible to forge alliances with people in other guilds? Can I use LDD for Task 5? Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Quote
Garmadon Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Sorry, if this is getting annoying, but I have a few more questions. Where and what is Valyrio? Is there anything else outside Historica? Like other continents? Is it possible to forge alliances with people in other guilds? Can I use LDD for Task 5? Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. No problem! 1. Valyrio is a fifth guild created by MikeyB for a "create a fifth guild" contest some time ago. It is closed for membership, but you are allowed to build there. It's located off of the (east, I think, but I'm not sure) coast of Historica. 2. Valyrio is the only official one at the moment. 3. Yes, it is 4. I'm afraid I have no idea on that one! Quote

Otherwise as far as I know, Garmadon is correct on the other questions. I don't think there's any issues with LDD for task 5, as I haven't read such a limitation. I will go back and check and amend my post if I do find something! Also, don't feel bad about asking questions. A lot of time searching and reading can answer questions, but I think everyone knows there's a massive amount of information here and it can be overwhelming coming in as a newcomer (at least it was for me!), and asking questions is definitely a reasonable thing to do.

TitusV Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I got a new freebuild up, and altough it's nothing from the Aestwäld Saga, I still need to thank Bregir for it, and Kabel who gave me the brilliant idea I interrupted Saga for. Quote
de Gothia Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Looks great Titus! Will have to check out all fantastic mocs posted here the lasted weeks! Anyway, my latest freebuild is up Quote
Rogue Angel Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 OK, I'm going to clarify a few things here: POSTING/PICTURES/ETC Any new EB members should be reading these topics to answer a lot of the basics: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18718 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=71241 AVALONIAN FORCES There IS a standing Army for Avalonia, but during peacetime, they are primarily utilized as border guards, road patrols and Albion defense. They vary along the lines of the Green/Yellow Dragons from a couple of years ago. See below: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=536177 In wartime, each region will be called upon to provide soldiers/militia, and these actually form the majority of Avalonia's army at War. The emblems and attire of these troops varies from region to region. There are also additional forces that patrol/guard larger areas, such as Windusky's Rangers, the Elves in Enchanted Forest, etc. CREATING YOUR PLACE IN AVALONIA/HISTORICA Typically, most of the forces/trades/etc. created are specific to one region, and each person crafts everything about their region. This is not to say that you cannot invite other members to join your story, or join other members creations, just that this is less common. You can feel free to say your character participated in something in Avalonia's history if it makes sense, but not that they were a lead character in the history, or the general of the Avalonian Army or the "best/smartest/deadliest" of anything. Everything is relative, and not a competition between other members (My ranger is better than your ranger, or my militia can beat your militia, etc.) Also, you are crafting the history/characteristics of your region, not anyone else's. You shouldn't be inserting yourself in other people's specific histories unless they are asking for people to do so (which is perfectly fine). It is also perfectly fine to ask if anyone wants to have your character visit, if anyone wants to let you build one of your trade stores in their region, if someone wants to join forces, etc. You can build where ever you want (Avalonia, Mitgardia, Kaliphlin, Nocturnus, Valyrio) but your character must reside in Avalonia, and you cannot claim territory in any other guild. You can also make pacts with whoever you want, as long as they are willing, or you can deal with other groups in Historica (Desert Kings, Drow, etc.) as long as you are not trying to alter the main history/storyline. TASK ENTRIES Task V entries can be created in LDD, but they need to be substantial (same as with actual builds). The smallest a fortress could be would be 32x32, but this would have to be tall, and have a lot of substance to it. I would expect this to be more like 48x48 or larger for most strongholds. This also carries through to Task 4. In order for entries to be accepted for credit, they need to be substantial, meaning again 32x32. This is not a strict rule, but is you post only 16x16 builds, you won't get credit for more than one or two builds unless they are very detailed or very substantial in a limited space. For example, in the picture below, one of these houses on a 16x16 base would not be substantial enough to be recognized, but the 3 houses together on a 32x32 base, or one house with a lot of other details on a 32x32 base would be acceptable. TITLES The titles have not been updated recently, but hopefully I can get to them soon. They are related to how much members have participated, and how long they have been EBers. Participation tends to wane after a while (except for the workhorse DG), but then they will often return later. Also, our original members are who really created the Guilds, and made them flourish. Check out this post if you want to see some amazing builds. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=66397 I hope this clarifies some things. Quote
LegoEomer Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 2. Valyrio is the only official one at the moment. What about this place I heard called Lenfald? Quote
