Yeah Junn said that raid was like watching 300.
THEN WE SHALL FIGHT IN THE SHADE!... but there ain't no shade in this movie.
If only there was some way for city-states like Hashan and Cyrene to get involved without the need for "PK this, Beat up that". Truly I would love to see an expansion added to city-state mechanical interactions other than "we have the biggest army".
Yes Achaea has its politics (which at times make me want to take a sharp razor to the throat) but other lovely concepts that could be included:
All I can think of for now, but generally my main point is city-states like Hashan and Cyrene will -never- be able to grow with the current mechanics in place. They are not built for this type of environment. They need to play at their strengths, not play at the strengths of others.
P.S: btw have I mentioned I had this new comment template? I miss my old comfortable options.
Needs moar village influence a la Lusternia. Although, that arguably can be driven by PK as well.
I disagree. At least in regard to Hashan.
On what basis is this statement?
About the same time as Dusk started shouting, I asked a Hashan woman, Brood Mistress something. What my fine was in Hashan, @Aluciana wanted to know as well. After a few moments, I was told 120k.
Aluciana says, "That's probably more than what Hashan has right now."
That was me, and I did let you know who you needed to talk to and if you had a hard time that Eiredhel would be more than happy to advocate on your character's behalf. I do hope you followed up on it, as I've tried to jump through hoops to assist people who are coming back, and also people who are victims of drama charges. Your situation was a bunch of group raiding combined.
So I'd be happy to see you work it off if you are truly serious about it.
Meow, meow, etc.

Always thought Hashan was the richest out of the city-states, or at least I heard that it was before. Though I am probably wrong.
I miss their credit sales though - so nice.

Lican, a mad occultist waves his hand dismissively.
So Moco wanted to donate gold to the Eleusian army. deposit 10000 gold eleusis army ... didn't quite do it.
Moco tells you, "You deposit 10000 golden sovereigns at The Eleusian Bank of Commerce in the clan of Reghna's Army of Little People account."

Haha, I am very impressed with whoever did that. Aldair suggested reminding Lican Tesha would kill him after he gave here gold as a way to justify giving the corpses to him instead of the ghost (for double gold), so I had an alias that gave all Tenwat corpses that started with saying that. Meletus messaged me asking me to change it from 'say to' to 'say', and then later added that to reaction on Tesha walking in! Awesome.
Simply put, Cyrene and Hashan are not military states and neither prosper nor enforce the idea of "Strength through combat". Players and citizens -COULD- do such, going around yelling for fighting for darkness and attempting debates to push citizens to it, but it simply wont stick. Why? Because it isnt in their makeup. The very themes incorporated in Cyrene and Hashan are not about waring and an autocracy, but about democratic beliefs in freedom of actions, and in cyrene's case, patronage to the arts.
You cant force Hashan to suddenly become:
- A city of warriors and rowdy freedom fighters that have a cult of worshipers seeking to bring Oblivion (Ashtan).
- A city forged in blood and hellfire that seeks naught but to bring about the Glory of their Evil lord and dominion of the land (Mhaldor)
- A city embracing the faith of the Light and Purity and taking on a zealous mandate to cleanse the world of the 'tainted' filths, least history repeat itself and their city be dashed away on the rocks again (Shallam/Targosas)
- A 'village' that is the only fort in the land that seeks to live in harmony with nature and fend off the corrupt powers of Evil and Chaos and, in some cases, encroaching civilization. (Eleusis)
Disagreed because while I do agree that you can't force Hashan to suddenly become another city, there's plenty of stuff in the Darkness ideology that would pit Hashan against, well, pretty much any other city (except perhaps Cyrene). Though I think the basis of it needs simplification so that you can convey your basic factional beliefs without a 20 minute lecture, its definitely there and ready to be acted on.
What needs to change in Hashan to set it on the path to becoming a military power, in my opinion, is the citizens' outlook. All the citizens need to buy into the basic Dark premise that the universe is unbalanced by excessive judgement and that the created (mortals) have the power to right that imbalance. That's all. If we can get everyone on that page, we can start moving forward.
Please don't make this thread about Hashan.
(Mudlet Clan): @Dortheronsays, "It's simple, you just repeat this: In brightest day, in blackest night, No afflictions shall escape my sight. Let those who worship venom's might, Beware my power, come on and fight!!!"
Meowth, that's right!

I think it was more likely named Snow because it's white.
Pretty sure that pet existed before GoT, which mostly just makes it funny and ironic as hell.
Edit: In light of Sena's bit, I'll simply hope that perhaps it was coincidence then. Call me optimistic.

Really, if that makes you groan, I suppose you must want to kill yourself with all the stupid names going around.
