> >Numbers tend to be exaggerated, so there's nothing unusual there. I'm sure >the GM's can sort it out. > True and sometimes numbers are underestimated. Like, Populations levels vs the amount of troops. also, can't concentrate all military in one area(s), i am sure you have places to defend/garrison. A lot of populations in various societies is bit to low for such advance societies and i notice that some determinants are accurate or whatever. lets take the Shanari, they have a population of around 300,000 throughout a large expanse of desert, so their population is sparce. So that would make it hard to have a large army pounding through various societies at the western part of the continent. the Shanari has also attacked some societies northern of the continent. in estimating, majority of males are situated western parts and some northern and some around the northern shores of midsea area. For the Cedonians, for them to start invading and maintain a large military, they should have a good size populace. For the Ban Horroth, around 40, 000...most of their population situated in the citadel wherever that is in the mountains, but still have people throughout the Rim Mountains. so very sparse...of course, makes sence that you don't see Ban Horroth so often in the mountains.... For the Razanians, the total population of Razanians on the Coast is about 100,000...is that including the Razanians within Aryisa? if so and for the Razanians to outnumber the Asagmari would boost the population scope to about 300,000-500,000...especially for the Razanians Armies altogether outnumber the Aryisan Military...which both sides has taken losses throughout the years of mass warfare on the coast...so such a war will be hard to maintain with a population scope of 100,000. As usual, like todays population levels in many areas...females outnumber males, since the males are always at war, getting themselves slaughtered and there is also the amount of elders, which is small...and the amount of children....are included in the population scopes? For societies to maintain huge wars like one vs the Shanari and the Razanian Coast war, they should have the population levels to maintain it. Oh and the tech levels of societies are unrealistic/unaccurate aswell. the Shanari more advance than the Razanians? the Shanari are nomads and don't have good access to resources like the Razanians does. their population are sparce aswell..making it hard for them to have such a tech level indicated in their determinants. Determinants should be re-examined. many societies actions bit overboard for determinants to properly accept. I say populations scopes should be increase at various societies or lower the exaggerative actions. hey, the population levels during the Dark and Middle ages in europe is larger than many same size areas on Qaiyore...and we have Magic, which helps. Fantasy land, but yet we want this game to have some commun sence, no? Oh, another thing, how long does the average Human in this world live? is all human populations really Humans? or simply Humanoids of various kinds? I would figure many Sorcerers/magic users can live longer than typecal average person...Dark Elves, or the Vraa'l they are called now, i can see living aslong as any typecal Vulcan. Ban Horroth, sure they have longer life spans i would think. Well, its me seeing the nick nacks of the game and been thinking about lately..... For people part of the themain game...will have the alien game going DEFINATLY before August ends....sorry for waiting so long :( been busy and i will heck of lot busier September, with school starting up again and the many things i am involved in.... -LordLMP ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
