I thought I'd give you guys something else for a change. Let's face away from the numbers and maths and systems and let's look at another aspect of the game: its visual style. Visual Style and Setting The game is set in a medieval-style fantasy world, with a noticable lack of magic. You could in fact compare it to Mount and Blade, which is similarly themed. Units and armour will be designed with functionality in mind, not because it has to look 'cool'. This will ...

Battles I still need to set up a good battle system. Do you guys think battles should be seperate from the campaign (like in the TW games) or integrated into the campaign (like in Civilisation)? Please take into account the inherent difficulty of translating this in not only a browser-based, but a FORUM-based ...
There I am again. Had to scoot off to work earlier. On the island map, there will be four factions. I already briefly listed them in the first blog, but I'll revisit them a bit more in-depth here. Nobles This faction is led by the island's noble families, and consists of all people associated with the noble families as well as the poor folk who still follow them. The Noble faction will start with the island's eastern capital city under their rule, as ...
