Ascartand Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Yeah I think that in the Academagia setting, witches and wizards are different than portrayed in Harry Potter. We are wizards both male and female due to the reliance on casting spells. While I haven't encountered a witch in Academagia so far, I assume is on the definition corresponding to the real world where Witches focus more on potions and as Metis say hexes.Anyway, How are the Republics governed? Councils of wealthy people or more like the Roman system with a Tribune counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isadorbg Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 The Tribune was mostly held by wealthy people tough. The Patrician and Plebeian were not divided by wealth but by blood (think Nobility vs Burgher). In Rome basically only wealthy people could be elected in office. They afterall could pay citizens to vote for them among other things... .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CremePudding Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hey, I love politics as much as the next person, and it's not like I don't have my own opinions, but could we maybe keep a political argument out of our nice, chill thread for asking nerdy questions about an imaginary wizard school? Yes! I am really sorry to have brought this up (which ended up as an argument) - I just see so many people being very emotional about it, so I just wanted to murmur some vague consoling words or something. Let's leave it at this - stay well, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Ah, vaguely murmured consoling words from a creamy pudding. Is there anything finer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 An answer to my previous question, maybe . Don't suppose the idea of a beta got anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Metis; Oh! There will be a beta. I'm not sure when, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Legate, you know not what you have done. The news of a beta would open the floodgates.Speaking of floodgates, how devastating are wars in Cyve? Because of warmages and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Metis; Oh! There will be a beta. I'm not sure when, though. Hopefully soon. Because hunting bugs takes time, of course . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Ascartand; In the past, they have been growing more and more bloody in the time after the Empire, but at the moment, an intricate, but tense, web of diplomacy has mostly changed conflict into relatively ordered affairs. Metis; Yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 How does that web of diplomacy apply to Pievre's situation? Because I'm getting a WWI "one pulls the trigger and everyone starts attacking everyone" vibe here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CremePudding Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Metis; They have certainly been at the locus of several wars recently- and emerged victorious each time. How's the war fatigue, though? String of victories can only go so far when it comes to war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 CP; Relatively low; many battles are fought by mercenaries, and away from villages and cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Huh wasn't the mercenary warfare during the black powder time not the time where citys and fields where plundered where ever an mercenary army was? So in Acedamagia the lords or or merchants that get the support of a mercenary group have to make sure they get all the food the group / army need?

Legate of Mineta Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 It's fairly common that warfare is somewhat legalized, because the islands, being fairly small, are harder to supply and more difficult to recover after wars in Europe in the period.

Ascartand Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 So what if the industrialized world make new ways to have sustainable supply lines? Would there be chaos on a massive scale then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metis Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 The history books that recall the time when Gates magic allowed for sustainable supply lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I would imagine that Gates Magic can truly solve the behind enemy lines type of supply issue. I also want to know if there are historical examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascartand Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 No curse that redaction! Is there some chance of seeing the full Durand uniform?Also, if one is to restore the Empire. What steps should one take to do so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Ascartand; I am sure you'll see the full uniform in Y2. As to the Empire- well, everyone would have to agree on a new Emperor first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Nice to know. So in theory if one person begins conquering the other territories, he or she can force a coronation and become Emperor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Ascartand; In theory, although this would tend to unite everyone against you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yes but from the way I see it. They are going to be busy with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
