Urmm is it viable that every 1 mil population a nation is awarded 1 MP? I mean for a nation of 6 million people, having 9000 troops is not even enough to serve as a garrison to quell riots in one city, much less multiple cities and having any offensive capability, logically speaking of course. Who's with me?

(Incase you all don't know I'm Empire of Way-Wraith/Jaymes/Tarcisius, you can shorten it to Tar. It actually is part of my name kinda kool huh!)
It's not gona be Massive but Moderate and gonna be similar to the other nation I had but gonna change the history and start fresh seeing as most everyone is plus if I transfered it'd be kinda pointless cuz all I got is Library (from a trait), Fortress (I purchased), and Forges (from my previous race that'd I lose). And I doubt all our EP/CP/MP would transfer to this site so might as well re-do it yea know. Gonna be another Dwarven Nation, and practically choosing almost all the same traits to boot except like two.
EDIT: Anyone have a good nation name for dwarves? I mean I don't want like 'The Republic of' or 'The Empire of' or 'The such and such Empire' but like just one name. Like Germany or United States of America but it'd be a mountains name that the dwarves live in. Any ideas?

Well Erin has a good point. I might make it so you get 2 MP for every 1 Million. Goblins get 3 MP and Orcs get 4 MP.
Also, your kingdom can have a cool long name and it would just be abbreviated in practice. Like the name of Germany is officially German Democratic Republic, but everybody calls it Germany.

Thanks Silvan Elves of Sith'ari. Choose Euphrasia as what everyone calls it but the official name is Dwarven Republic of Euphrasia. It's up for viewing, missing some things cuz it's a work in progress.

Personally I think it depends on whether Yvor the reformer saw it as more advantageous to be a USA style "good" superpower protecting other good empires and offering "protection," or whether he thought it would be more advantageous to be opportunist and exploit Varinus as a chance for their own expansion.
Personally I imagine the former option. Survaek has a common modus operandi of protecting good nations and using that protection as a means of influence. I can imagine them fighting as champions of good and order, with the caveat that they would obviously end up as the guardians and safekeepers of said good and order.

Just about matches, yes. My own version will show the Ainrii in a slightly more positive light, but that's to be expected from different historians. One minor thing though: I figure that after the war the two factions haven't really made peace, so skirmishes and patrols along the borders would still be in effect.
Would have been interesting battles to see, honestly. Your goblins use giants and hordes of skilled swordsmen, while my elves would be conscripting huge numbers of soldiers and supporting them with magic. Perhaps we'll get to see some repeats.

Yeah, i'll create a blow by blow account of the Kurgan in a later and more fleshed out history writeup. But for now this works. I wrote it up when I was half asleep so I wanted to make certain that my initial version make sense. XD Yeah, that would be an awesome fight. Giant's would be badass, backed by skilled swordsmen? Epicosity.

I'll write my own history up later today. I imagine there were perhaps two or three battles within Ainrii, and an indeterminate amount in the goblins lands?
I imagine the war would go like this: 1. Goblins invade Ainrii, they march pretty much unopposed through the Ainrii countryside 2. Goblins reach the capital of Ainrii and find a rapidly-raised army blocking them. Horde is stopped at the battle and a siege sets in. 3. Another elven army arrives and encircles the besiegers. Second battle is a slaughter for the goblins.
4. Ainrii invades Kurgan, they press hard enough that the King is compelled to withdraw his forces from Varinus' command despite the Good Alliance. (You can fill in the details on this part)
5. Ainrii troops are bogged down and taking heavy casualties. With Varinus gone the elven leaders decide to withdraw before the situation worsens.
And yeah, I'm imagining marauding giants and goblins facing off against huge numbers of elves, with mages in the background summoning spirits and hurling curses.

eh, one of the things I like about this alignment system is that "Good" doesn't mean "do-good." There will be plenty of "Good" nations that are that way because they think it benefits them more than going it alone or allying with Varinas. It's really more of an "Alliance / Neutral / Horde" (Or maybe USA / Unaffiliated / USSR for a modern version) setup.

Talis has it right. Good nations don't exactly have to be good, like the Grand Survaek Empire I know personally isn't exactly a shining beacon of righteousness, but they wouldn't let Varinus just swallow up the world.

Yup and my 'evil' nation got pounded into submission by Varnius before they threw in their lot with him. It was that or become part of the undead, and that timeline looks pretty good Ainrii. I'll send you an outline via pm a bit later.
