[Fenrir]

We can keep playing in the other thread, but I had an idea to accompany the new version.

Okay, this time we're all roleplaying gods. Everybody announce you names and sphere(s) of influence. Once there's more than one god we'll create our fictional world and get straight to the war!

Name: Fenrir
Spheres: wolves, the moon, loyalty, stamina, strategy and tactics

EDIT:
Nevermind, Dark's handling the map stuff. Looks like he's in charge now.

[Dark]

Name: Hermatus
Spheres: sollitude, nature, combat and heroism.
Race: Earthen Dwarves
Civ: The Circle of The Stone Tree
Site type: plains, forests and deserts.
Hero symbol: ☻

Earthen Dwarves are similar to elves in the sense that they respect nature and try to live along side it. However they are certainly not as fanatical, and wont kill you for chopping down more than exactly 71 trees. They do not mind the death of animals and will not be offended when you offer them «+Kitten bone amulet+».

They tend to build their fortresses partially above ground and usually dig beneath open plains, deserts and forests. They are not a strong military force, relying on individual chosen warriors to complete important combat based tasks.

Okay, we're going to need a world to play in. We could use the map from an actual DF world and name existing locations and entites where they worship us, or we could make up one. Wadda ya think?

[Dark]

I say we get on GIMP and mess around. We're bound to come up with an interesting world that way, plus we can accurately mark where eachothers bases are etc.

EDIT: spoke too soon, need to hire an artist... nah, I wont give up just yet!

[ February 05, 2008: Message edited by: Dark ]

[Fenrir]

Are you suggesting we should make the map from scratch with the GIMP? Wouldn't that be kind of tedious? We could export a world map from the game, then edit it with the GIMP. Is that's what you meant?

[Dark]

Heres a pretty basic world I did my best to make...

Basically its a rock built by the gods to mess around with mortals on. Its got a large central lake, an empty grassy plain to the 'east' side of it, a dusty desert to the 'west' and 'south' sides and a small mountain range on the 'north' side. Its floating in a high density magical void and is illuminated by many spheres of light.

I supose we'll be adding more to it as we go, thats why I left it so empty. As for the actual size, I reckon its a good 10km across. Not much, but im thinking we will need to be close to eachother anyway.

I've got a map I made that I did but didn't get quite right that you could use, IF I figure out were to upload it.

Using the codes from code page 437, we could just make a text map.

code:

⌂⌂⌂⌂▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲⌂⌂⌂⌂
▲▲▲▲▲▲^▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲⌂
⌂▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲⌂⌂⌂⌂⌂⌂⌂

."...."."".."...""..
." (etc, etc...)

Thats a pretty good text map Fenrir. Make a large area and we can get started.

OR... we could use my map as a sort of 'world map' and then use a text based, DF style map for more specific locations at points in the world map. So basically I draw a dot on my map and say 'This is So and So'. Then we build up a more detailed map of the area.

[ February 05, 2008: Message edited by: Dark ]

[Fenrir]

Why don't be make a textual DF style map of your entire world? If we needed to change something, altering one letter would be a lot easier. If you drew something on the graphical map (which is really good, BTW), you'd have to upload it again.

[Dark]

Alright, lets just get this started.
