    Wip Map 05 - Lands of Nahadua [J.Ed land]

    Jumping in to test the thumbnail scraper...
    I doubled the size for mine, as I wanted to get more detail in there.

    Hey! I'm right below you.. Any idea for culture or international relations? I'll try to start mine tomorrow and get an idea of what I'm going to do.

    By the way looking good so far.

    I was hoping that when my neighbors got threads started we could knock around some thoughts...
    Maybe we can be allies from the Fromage Wars that I fought with Max's kingdom across the sea
    If you look at it, Max's realm is trying to eat Lingon's and my countries to the north...
    And we have credible naval intelligence that he is being aided by pirates from the southern lands...
    scottish pirates was a rumor that was mentioned by the last survivor of the ill-fated naval ship Crabbit Yin.
    But these are only mildly reliable sources.

    Haha, yeah, you better watch your back! Back in the deeps of time the French & Scottish had what's known (in Scotland) as the 'Auld Alliance', so me & Max are natural allies. If you're growing coconuts anywhere, you better fortify your borders.

    Nice start, ally I like the way you drew the rivers. To make sure that our border river lines up, maybe I should leave the border a bit undefined on my map, so you can use yours as the definite border when piecing it all together? Probably won't have time to start before Tuesday but happy to knock around old war stories

    Our security information bureau will have to keep an eye on these southern lands... and their dubious alliances.

    It's okay to do it as you please Lingon
    I just want people to have fun with this. The more details they have to worry about, seems like the less fun they'll have.
    Editing stuff once we're all done is not a big deal. I'm planning on putting funny little bits on Max's kingdom, that I'm sure won't match up with what he chooses to do.
    I'm looking at it like I'm a country with deep suspicions regarding those across the sea, because we fought a huge war, the Fromage War, over who owns certain cheesy islands between us.
    Maybe some other ridiculous story lines will pop up as people start talking about it all.

    I figured you and I were allies against the pernicious southern territories. We'll have to see if Tonnichiwa wants to be an ally or an enemy.
    That said, you don't have to be an ally by default... if you want to be an enemy... but you're out there... all alone... on the edge of the world...
    You need friends. Friends who can help with trade and other mercantile things of importance to your citizenry.

    I still have a bunch of story to come up with. Still can't decide if I want to commit to Nahadua as the name or not. It definitely doesn't sound english or european in nature...
    I'm working the land a bit to see if that helps to determine some things about this land and its people.

    All right, freedom! Hehehe, I like your backstory a lot And yeah, makes sense to try and maintain some friendly relations when you're at the edge of the world. I'm imagining my country as quite rural, lots of wilderness, most cities being located on the coast of the gulf between yours and my country (probably settlers from J.Ed Land, who got independence a while ago), and the rest of the land inhabited by nomadic people herding mammoth-like beasts up and down the mountains. The tribes don't care too much about the city-folk's feuds and relations, but maybe mammoth cheese caused them to get drawn into the Fromage War?

    Really like the name Nahadua

    The Fromage War... that's a cheesy name. I could only imagine the Dutch getting into a war about cheese.

    I imagine Valpolicella would be an excellent accompaniment to any cheese war
