Equilibrium Flux - Strategic RP

[Snax]

Hello, and welcome to the 3rd themed RP of mine.
You may know me from Cataclysm (Post-Apo with Monster Hunters) or Ouroborus (Modern Fantasy).
This is a jab at a different genre, the Strategy RP type. I am still inexperienced, but bear with me.

-------------------------------

Strategy Battle RP - Equilibrium Flux
-inspired by various Strategic War games-
OP THEME


Special thanks to:
Mereo: Helping with the initial Map.
RacingeR: For providing many a Troop Idea and advice.
Mellon: For providing guidance on my first Idea.
Ayakashi: For the awesome map and Nation Leader Artwork, Faction Ideas, troops and system ideas!

Here is the rulebook for all the details.

So close to a Drifters RP, and yet still so far...

>No way to have mounted archers, at least for the Kais? The human nations' generic units sound way too copy-pasta in some aspects, considering that differences in fluff *should* mean differences in capabilities, beyond certain proficiencies being more emphasized or troop disposition.

>Unless Demons can fly like motherfuckers all day and all night, how else can they get around to make use of their limited numbers? I'd request for thoughts on ways to make these guys stand out some more besides being individually more capable than standard units. Like, maybe have a number of "tanks" that act as mobile command posts or carriers; the kind I'm thinking of would be rather large, so maybe have them as a special unit alongside necromancers. I'll have to send you a link to what exactly I'm referring to w/ this point.

[Snax]

Mounted archers are a no, because the Kais have no actual tamable beasts or monsters within their lands. Of course they could have asked the Felur for some of their Riders, but it didn't work out.

The generic units are copy-pasta because the humans improved their troops in the same ways. I would have added different generic units but when i did (i.e. changing infantry into footsoldiers/warriors/mercenaries) it didn't work out too well. I am kind of working on trying to make the soldier parts look more special though, so it may change in the future. This is, remember, a first draft.

Demons can fly like muthafuckas all day, at least as long as they don't get tired. Demons are supposed to have the least number of specials because their normal troops (despite their small numbers) outrank the capabilities of any other race, even the elves to a certain extent. As for actual 'tanks' or well, those kinds of things, I may plan for reinforcements from the Realm of Evil later, but as for now they are a small group of good fighters and thats what they will start with.

For the Empire of Lea!

[Soldat der Trauer]

@Lled: Is there a plan you've concocted for in-universe impetus? Not meaning to be disrespectful, but so far the entire background sets up "Kais/Felur vs Nithelig" and "Elves vs Demons"; at least at the start, there doesn't seem much drive for the other nations to get themselves involved. I imagine that of course the background fluff is simply a rought generalization, and maybe the beastkin are using Kais as part of some longer-term bid to "spread peace", or something like that. (Yes, I obsess over Deus Ex and its conspiracy theories, why do you ask?)

So in that sense, maybe you could please tease the other nations w/ hints of some objective by adding it to the OP?

@RacingR: If you don't make the Dragonslayer Knights look like guymelefs from Vision of Escaflowne, I will never forgive you!!! ;;n;;

[Sei]

Meh. Yolo.

[Ayakashi]

Kininarimasu!!

[Snax]

Edited Shariya to Sharis, and changed the setting around.
Elves are now a new /minor/ faction like the demons are.
New map thanks to Ayakashi!!


Also working on an extra dwarf faction that I will add soon.

Snippets are in the works.

[Ivan The Mouse]

I was about to join this RP but I saw that Race already took the Empire with the guns so instead, I would like just to contact him and be his military adviser.

Come out there, Race. I'm offering my knowledge for free.

[Snax]

Added Faction:

The Principality of Reiziel

[Kuroyuki]

No one has placed interest to the Dwarves (the epitome of Guns and Mechs it seems like) just yet. <.<

[Snax]

Someone might. Or if they don't i'll just go with NPC nation.

[Sakuraba Haru]

*Looks at the map* Okay, well I need to deal with Racing first it seems. Will send character sheet tomorrow or the day after.
