As I'm sure some of you are aware, TTW stopped recently, probably the closest thing here to an actual strategic RP. I'm wondering if any of you would be interested in a new one, and if so, what form it would take. I'd be interested to hear whether you think that this new RP should be quite lax and vague with rules concerning revolt, combat, et cetera, or whether it should have stricter rules concerning recruitment and combat. I personally favour the latter, to prevent too much power play, but I am welcome to discussion on the matter.

I've also created a draft of a map of Cyrodiil, which may or not be used in the RP, to clearly show the potential conquests. Should this map be accepted for use, I'll try to create one for other provinces. It's quite high resolution, so it will probably take a while to load.

The RP itself will probably, like TTW, take place several centuries after Skyrim, with no large empires, merely various city-states.

There are no rules set in stone, but here are some which I believe should be in place.

Generally speaking, the populations of various tiers of settlements will be:


 * 100,000 people for Huge Cities


 * 30,000 people for Major Cities


 * 20,000 people in Minor Cities


 * 7,500 people in Major Towns


 * 5,000 people in Minor Towns


 * 300 people in Major Villages


 * 100 people in Minor Villages


 * 300 people in Mines

Each settlement will be able to give about a tenth of its population to the military, but heavy infantry and cavalry would be the equivalent of two soldiers in terms of cost, for balancing purposes.

Generally, travel time would be roughly thirty times what it is in Skyrim (i.e. A journey from Riften to Markarth will be thirty days as the crow flies.) However, woods and marsh would half travel speed, and mountains quarter it.

I realise this is a rather long post, particularly when this isn't even an RP yet, but I would really like to create a strategy RP that required strategy. Any comments, feedback and questions are welcome.
