So this is the kind of things I had come up so far for the 'character' section of the game to describe the player's nation. It has the labels plus the kind of information I would look for in each.
Name: Official name in ‘English’
Age: Year Established
Gender: ? <It's a fixed label, not sure what we could use in this slot>
History: Brief description
Capital: Name and Description
Languages: Order of prevalence, note of official
Religion: Order of prevalence, note of official
Government: And Legislature system
Leader: Name and link to OOC Description
Territorial Area: Km2
Population: Total and demographics
Currency: Name
Notable Factions: Name and OOC Link
Picture: Flag/Royal Coat of Arms/Banner
Motto: Motto
This is for the rulers of the nation, who would have to be described in a separate OOC post as the character label formatting is global for the game.
Picture
Name and title: X, 'Ruler' of Y, other titles
House: House/Clan if applicable
Gender:
Age: Age, and DoB and PoB
Reign: Year length and year start
Predecessor: X, Ruler of Y
Heir: X, Ruler of Y
Description: Simple physical description
History: Brief history of upbringing and reign
The same for different factions that could appear in the game, such as guilds, mercenaries etc.:
Insignia
Name: Full title
Type: Guild/Order/Etc.
Established: Year
Headquarters:
Leader: Name and OOC Link
Purpose:
Diplomacy:
Motto:
I also really liked the idea of a State of the Realm post at the start/beginning of every round of events. These are the kinds of things I think it might include.
Ruler Status:
• Health
• Heir Health
Threats to Realm:
Diseases: Order of Prevalence, Risk Factor
Revolt Risk: Order of Prevalence, Risk Factor
Plots: Order of Prevalence, Risk Factor
Other Internal Issues: Anything not previously categorised, Order of Prevalence, Risk Factor
Military Strength:
Army strength numbers, troop types
Navy strength numbers, troop type
Air Force strength numbers, troop type
Treasury: Currency, and conversion to a global currency
Diplomacy: Relations with other nations and factions
What do we all think? Have I missed anything out that might be included?
And how many people would want to join? I think for a small number, I could mod it myself but with more nations, and particularly more active players, I would appreciate the help of another mod.
