Description Centuries ago the land was static. generations went and left without change.

And then it happened.

Somehow a myriad of creatures, they call themselves 'humans', spawned at coldest place.

They were all dressed different, spoke different, fought different from each other. most died within the month.

But not all of them.

Somehow, humanity adapted to this new world. the cultures of their homeland were left behind. they were now on a foreign world under foreign stars surrounded by foreign creatures, they united, even if only for a short while. they called their birthplace 'the center of the world' and began their expansion.

soon enough, humanity discovered that they were not alone. good. a rival. a purpose.

the humans left their differences behind and banded together to fight the 'demons' and eradicate them from this new world.

marching, expanding, discovering, the machine of man and some unexpected allies relentless pushed the monsters out radially to the equator.

But they would not go out easy.

before they were gone, the Tol exhaled a last breath of defiance. in a gargantuan ritual a barrier of rock and flesh was raised. mountains and monsters created a night-impenetrable wall of death, killing anything that got close enough to the word's equator

The deathband

They retreated behind it, to the northern hemisphere. but it is not over.

not yet.

they'll be back, and they'll be ready, for every second that humans spend weakening each other, they spend on strengthening themselves.
-------------------------------

so this is the map for the southern hemisphere for my setting "Deathband". it's a high-fantasy diesel/steampunk world of war, espionage and backstabbing. I plan to turn this into an artwar with a unique system of information warfare. more details will come in the future so click that 'watch' button and you won't miss out.

I'm new to most of this but it looks interesting.

well it's a roleplay/ turn strategy where making art gives you some in-game bonuses. you get to design and play your own faction in the game's world. it can be anything from a glorified cult trough a democracy to an aspiring empire.

Ah, I can't draw unfortunately but I can write decently, dose that count?
Also where is this roll play located and could I possibly join.

still in the works. right now I'm finishing writing the rules, putting down some of the general lore and testing the balance of different units. if you're into intricate world building (it's a brand new fantasy world) and espionage-heavy strategy here is the discord server.

discordapp.com/invite/0wMwrpwv…

and these are the game rules (still in beta)

drive.google.com/open?id=1eLpv…

this server was made originally for a cold-war/WWII RP of the style so expect to encounter that style of stuff, that is until we get the ball rolling enough to justify a server for this RP.

I could accept written pieces like short stories if they're long enough (5K words?)

I don' want to have too many NPC's so probably 4 more than the number of starting players. Some factions are important for the lore so if nobody plays those they stay as NPC's with an AI which is really a number table.

it's not set in stone buuut...One of them is the absolute monarchy of the kindgom of copernica, they have giant floating spherical lamps called 'silver suns' . They live near the poles where the nights can last months, so the artificial suns help compensate.
they specialize in heavy armour and cavalry, they're really good at fighting archers.

Neato. Have you made more lore regarding their religion? Can i refer to it as the cult of copernica? hahaha

Pachumaster In reply to jailgurdnegative [2018-01-01 18:50:02 +0000 UTC]

I'm working on two other pieces (magic lore and the Tol) but they'll be next.

you can't really call them a 'cult' since cults have certain characteristics and their religion is more like the catholic church of today (way beyond cult levels), furthermore they have a system of government with a king, which makes them a kingdom.

I guess they could be the 'holy kingdom of copernica' but ehh.

I'll devote a journal and maybe a drawing when you launch your artwar!

I'd rather have players, but ehh.

I do plan to run a small scale beta to balance things and whatnot soon, pay attention to the airfotress discord.

Well, I'll talk to you on AF discord. My few artist friends are all busy or have tons of RL things going on that are keeping them from even sketching regularly, so I don't think I can talk them into joining anything.

Pachumaster In reply to penguinpyro [2017-12-14 13:53:12 +0000 UTC]

Meh, art will not be huge on the game. The way I'm scaling it the small, just started factions will be getting 20 resources a turn and a drawing will give you 3 or so.
