Are we going from have 'Fortress Regions' in this RP? If so, we should get that sorted. I'm guessing someone else will have it sorted before I will even start if we are having them
Let's not, at least not yet. We're introducing something new already, let's let this play out.
Tul Generas of the Orcs, Darthraxx of the dragon Knights. I RP, and have lots of fun.
We've set HQ's and added a new sub HQ feature which is more or less a half HQ and would be apart of a main HQ. CC has also been working on a map so we have been geting the regions for that. Plus a few HQ's have been clamed. Here is the HQ list.
Hope that helps! If you have any questions, let me or anyone else know and we will try to answer it if we can!
I am 2-in-command of Isengard, I asked for that position first. Also, we Technically don't need one for Isengard or Mirkwood if we don't have enough people.

I don't understand your reasoning. We need the ratio of HQ MWE to Region MWE to be constant. If we are going to lessen one, we have to lessen the other.
Why do we need it too be constant. Also, Their is no point in keeping a region if you don't get at least 1K from it: It'll be a drain on your recourses if their is so few defenders. Also, I prefer the larger HQ numbers anyway, so let's just keep it as they are now.
Well, if there are fewer troops to attack in the first place, fewer troops will be needed to defend.
Though I agree that we should leave things as they are for now. We can adjust troop limits later if need be. Same goes with the fortress regions.

Your rational remains unclear, MM. If the ratio is the same, 500 troops are just as effective as 1,000
Ok, but that is simi-heavy armor, I don't think lion used them but I think others might. You just said to have ruhn be made of cav archers, not infantry and I wanted to make sure it passed the KK test. I think they should get a heavy cav unit. If you look up "rhun Kataphracts you shoud see what i'm talking about.
Actually, now that I think of it, those might be better under Khand. They're still Easterling troops, but I think the heavy infantry would fit better under Khand than Rhun. Obviously Rhun would have more than just chariots and cavalry archers, but those are where its troops should excel most. Heavy cavalry also seems fine, mainly since no one else on evil really has heavy cavalry (since Harad is light). Again, most HQs will have most kinds of units, what I'm talking about right now is just where they excel. Rohan is free to have infantry, but clearly its strength lies in cavalry. Same goes with Rhun and its chariots (and horse archers), and Harad with its light cavalry.
Ok, since khand is the sub HQ of rhun they would realy still get it, just in smaller numbers.
I know I'm just the one that will likely make the units so I wan't to know what to focus on.

Ok, I didn't know. What do you mean? If each people can only lead one HQ we need a leader for both of them.
So, the purpose of the sub-HQs is to include more HQs in the RP, but not have to deal with the issue of not having enough members (at least as much). You might think of them as "super-regions", or rather bonuses to their parent HQ. Each HQ has two parts: The parent/main HQ, and the subsidiary HQ. All members would join the main HQ, as usual, but the sub-HQ has a separate pool of troops that it draws from. The main HQ gets twenty thousand MWE of whatever troops it has, while the sub-HQ gets ten thousand MWE of its own troops (which generally vary at least a little bit from the main HQ). The sub-HQs are separate from the main HQs when it comes to their troops; however, members of the main HQ are also members of the sub-HQ, and can use troops from either. Does that make sense? Sub-HQs can be captured, but the new owner doesn't get the full ten thousand troops from it. Instead, they get five thousand troops, but the first three thousand troops of theirs that get destroyed cannot be regenerated. So they basically get their troop limit raised by two thousand MWE, but get three thousand bonus troops that can't be regenerated (but also can't be hidden, since their numbers are reduced by any losses the HQ takes).
Dude, It IS in there. Hollin is an alternative name for Eregion
A few things, I don't see a VoA HQ.
Do we want a region to cover from the edge of mirkwood to the grey mountains? It just does't feel like the mirkwood HQ should cover that.
I would also like to extend the northwestern border of Dunlad toward tharbad. Along the old sudri road.
Would anyone mind if we rename some of the Rhovanion reagions? I know its not canon but I think it would better than having it be called "West R ect".
We're still figuring out exactly where the Beorning HQ's going to be.
Personally, I don't see a problem with how it is (which is how it was before). I do believe the Grey Mountains are uncrossable (you can just access one side or the other, unless you have a fortress which stretches across the region), so it's not like there's only one day in between going from Mirkwood to the Forodwaith (as you'd have to cross the Withered Heath or somewhere else, too).
No comment.
Any ideas? If you know of any canonical name that could be applied to those areas, I'm more than okay with changing the names. But I'd rather keep what I have than just make stuff up for the sake of having different names (because not only would it be impossible to figure out what/where those regions are without CC's map, but it would also just make things more confusing).

Ok, I still think some where between the Carrock and the gladden fields regions.
Ok, I just see the mountions getting conquered by evil and them having a direct path to mirkwood.
Realy? That's a first.
Not of the top of my head, maybe Vidugburg or something along those lines? I could get some from a lotr game. Ok I see your point, and I agree you are right. I just though it would add some variety.

We should probably figure that out soon.
Same could go with the Carrock or Central Mirkwood getting captured.
Ehh, I don't think so.
Well, seeing as how I can't find anything whatsoever for Vidugburg, I think that's a no-go. And I'd kind of rather avoid using games to name our regions, if only because a lot of us won't be familiar with them. I think it's better to stick with what we have now. It's the same thing as north/south Ithilien, or north/south Ered Luin, except that we have three regions instead of two (and we could probably cut it to two).
- I'm not entirely convinced about the relationship between the East/Westfold, and East/Westemnet. However, what you have seems mostly accurate, so I think it's fine. The only question I have is whether we should add Eastfold as well, like we had in the old RP. By having one giant Westemnet region, that would allow people to go strait from Anorien to Fangorn or the Gap of Rohan, with only one day of travel time. That seems like a bit of a stretch. While it may be a slight canonical issue, I think adding the Eastfold region would be much more balanced.
- Noman-Lands was more to the east of Nindalf, between Dagorlad and N. Ithilien. Nindalf itself is a marsh, so travel through there would be virtually impossible. At least, that's what we decided previously, but it could be changed.
- I am quite positive that what I said is correct The West fold is a smaller region between Helm's Deep and Edoras, and the eat fold is a smaller region between Edoras and Gondor. I've had to do this research many times. In my WIP3 image, I added the east fold as it's own region.
-hmm OK, well if we need it changed, I can do that.
- OK, that's not what I thought you were saying in your last post. It's all good.
- Not a huge deal either way, just wanted to point that out.
