War RP Idea : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

About Lore, you mean write it up?

He means read it up.

» Fri May 27, 2011 3:12 pm

Exactly Faldom.

Faldom read about Redgaurds, Me on Nords, Jerod read up on Argonians and Khajiit.

I'm new to the site, so there is a very unlikely chance that you know me. I thought this looked like an interesting RP, and I am hoping to join. I can post fairly regularly, and know plenty about ES lore. I'm basically wondering if you guys have any prejudice against new members joining?

Depends how decently you can RP.

Oh, that. Yea I can definitely do that :hehe: . Sorry bout asking the stupid questions, my mind is still a little....yeah....

No problem, i read the post about the Math. I can't stand it either.

I expect to see somewhat race specific armour, if i see mounds of Khajiit running around in Steel Armor.. Someones getting it.
You are gunna need a bit more tactics and guerilla warfare, while others will utilise artillery, others archers, etc.
All depends on what you read up.

It's also good to incorporate culture, adds to the immersion aspect.

We need a catchy Title for the Roleplay.

I've read both. I'd say myself that I'm a pretty decent RPer, but I'm fairly new to War RPs.

» Fri May 27, 2011 2:35 pm

We will give it a try.
I'd like to see you as a soldier first.
If you are good enough, we can simply have your character die in battle and give you a commanding role.

I am still revising everything, so I need a day or so.
Are you going to definitely be in this RP?

» Fri May 27, 2011 7:03 pm

Me? I will definently. So now I post a character sheet?

» Fri May 27, 2011 2:55 pm

Read the original post, i made a few modifications, and then PM me with the character sheet.

If we can get a title, this should start by Wednesday evening/Thursday.

» Fri May 27, 2011 1:53 pm

Sounds good enough. I'll have a character in by tommorow night, have to get off.

» Fri May 27, 2011 10:34 am

I should have time revise it a little tomorrow morning.
Bye.

Alrighty, Jerod, all of Blackwood?

And to BGursky, you should be with Anvil. Two cities and more land, in direct contact with Imperial City, with possibility of coming into contact with Blackwood, and Bruma.
I can easily handle the Nords by myself.

I would like to have another player with the Anvil Ra Gada faction, and another with The Old Empire.
Republic of Skyrim and Kingdom of Morrowing are 1 city each, (Depending on if it is decided other settlements have popped up) and i think one person could handle Blackwood,
The Old Empire and Anvil Ra Gada are more complex factions, so they would need a bit more.

Ok so....

Anvil Ra Gada, Main Faction Leader - Faldom [ Karlirah Blackheart of Anvil, Vilamon of Kvatch(Surname up to you if you wish.)

Republic of Skyrim, Main Faction Leader - W00tz (Me) [ Fjorkvar Whitebeard

Blackwood Rebels, Main Faction Leader - Jerod Kayne [ Ri'Vassa of Bravil , Hathei Jah of Leyawiin

Kingdom of Morrowind, Main Faction Leader - forrest gump951 [ Vonden Darothril

The Old Empire, Main Faction Leader - BladeMaster07 [ Chancellor Ocato, Count Luspinian Maraennius of Chorrol, Count Malpenix Mercius of Skingrad ( I will help if needed)

This is ONLY for the main leaders.
You may have as many other characters of your faction as you want, and name them however you like.
Captains and Generals will help direct your armies, and roleplaying a soldier will add character to the army, any other characters welcome.

I will look over it immediately and figure everything out, thanks to all those who contributed and all the Roleplayers.

While I get everything ready, read up on some lore relative to your factions, and read http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=810277

I think I'll be able to control all of it as long as it moves at a reasonable pace. I'm guessing you want sheets for the three leaders, as well as my general?

If you dont mind, each character will have a small entourage of followers and advisors who will not have their own sheet, just added to the bottom of their respective characters sheet.

For each city, and my Legion, shall I give a troop breakdown?

EDIT: Nevermind. I saw the revised OP.

» Fri May 27, 2011 10:12 pm

I suppose.

A breakdown of Gaurd numbers, Legion Numbers, including Cavalry, Archers, Infantry.
I'm all for sub-characters without sheets.

I will ENSURE it moves at a reasonable pace.
And hopefully you can get a bit of help if someone else joins.

Remember this is going to be sort of Race based, so no Imperials with Chitin etc.
I must do up a sheet for myself also, and Bruma, and Greenwinter, and i may have other new Settlements established.
You can have a few self established Forts/Settlements also, which will need some sort of their own "Character Sheet".

EDIT: Just thought of something, it would be nice if some people added in for example, I was thinking of having a wimpy Breton as one of my advisors. Add a bit of dynamic instead of just,
Nord, Nord, Nord, Nord, Oh look, a tall nord, short nord, Nord, Nord, Nord.

Hey there!

If its not too late, I'd like to ask for the Leyawiin spot and have half of the Blackwood Rebels. I can perfectly understand if I can't, but it just seems to me that the distinct cities should have two leaders. ust like you've said in your background. I'd gladly fill the Leyawiin one.

» Fri May 27, 2011 10:01 pm

If Jerod Kayne is fine with it, i would love to have you anywhere near my RP.
Just from spotting you around the forums I have respect for you as a quality RPer.

Welcome.

Just talk to Jerod.

Wow! Thanks... That's really nice of you to say.

Respect, man!

I'll talk to Jerod.

Some criticisms/pointers real quick before I turn in. I think right now for the base amount of people you'd have joining, the landscape is too large. It's pretty much most of Tamriel. When you conduct a war RP on that scale it tends to turn very much into macromanagement and with the far distances you'll have few characters intereacting which will lead to boredom and failure. My advice is to focus on a 1v1 war for now, say the Bosmer and the Khajiits. You could even do a historical war, they've had like 20 of time between the elves n cats without real in depth lore to limit you.

That's just what I would do, you do what you want.

» Fri May 27, 2011 9:22 am

I added a bit to the OP.

Wealth of the factions can come into play, especially for certain factions.

To ImmortalBlood:

It is going to be the Factions of Cyrodil against each other, backed by Provinces.
Tensions high between Provinces, but no open warfare, instead aiding factions with troops and funds.

» Sat May 28, 2011 12:26 am

If anyone thinks there should be additions to the OP, please tell me.
Other than that..
Everyone just needs to send in their sheets, and we will begin.

A bit of an idea of troop numbers:
The Old Empire will have Three (3) standing Legions of 6000 troops each, with Militia forces in each City.

Your original numbers are only what you have RIGHT NOW, there can be limited reinforcements called in later.

The only thing I think we need is a map in the OP, preferably one showing locations so you can almost pinpoint locations when talking about them IC.

May I suggest: http://z.about.com/d/vgstrategies/1/0/Q/1/OblivionMapAGM_v1.1.jpg?

I'm in the process of making my sheets, but I won't have them to you until later. Four sheets ain't easy!

» Fri May 27, 2011 4:46 pm

I had intended to link that anyway.

I suggest everyone checks for a map from Arena on the Imperial Library site.
Shows locations for possble Reinforcements to come from.

I already have two sheets and am almost done my Faction sheet, all in about 3 hours, while checking other things in between.

We NEEED a title.

Cyrodil: A Land At War?

» Fri May 27, 2011 11:14 am

Maybe something like, The War in Cyrodiil or, Cyrodiil Shattered

» Fri May 27, 2011 6:22 pm

War In Cyrodil.

» Fri May 27, 2011 12:19 pm

I like Cyrodil Shattered, and when are you going to start?
