(The browser I’m using won’t let me do that for some reason, it’s just not a option. you have told me this before and I have told you as to why I can’t.)

I’m gonna teach you how)

Ponastsia  
(Having some trouble with the pic again.)  
The Civilizations of the world Amerge. Humans in Mesopotamia, Rome and the Western coast of the middle east. Ponies in the British Isles and western Norway, their nocturnal cousins in Southern Greece, southwest turkey and Egypt. tufted deer in Tibet. Kirin in eastern Manchuria(?). Changelings in the Siberian Pinsula(?).
 
Which of these races will form empires? and how long will theses Empires last? Will their empires rise to greatness? Or will they fall and be conquered by neighboring Races and Civilizations?

@Dusk Raven  
(I dougt very sortly, their very spaced out and at this Era the greeks were divided into City States, they would need a conquer or a Great Conquer later on to more unify their Culture and have a lasting Civilization that spans all of their Regions to give them any Sense of Unity or any desire for unity if that Civilization Collaspes later on.)

(Violet or indigo, whichever fits the map better. At this point (or very shortly into the game) they will be a single political entity.)

@Dusk Raven  
(Alrighty, What color for each and what color for all of them If I can’t fit more colors?)

@The Mystory  
Correct, going to be playing a trio of linked races, nocturnal counterparts to the three Equestrian pony races, if that’s all right.
 
As I mentioned, “Batponies in Greece, Wolfponies (“dark” earth ponies) in [southwest] Turkey, and Steel Ponies (“dark” unicorns, largely similar except for their eyes and their curved, edged horns) in Egypt.”

@Dusk Raven  
(Alright, so you said Steel Ponies in Egypt and not the other race you mentioned, Sphenxes?)

@The Mystory  
It seems fairly simple to me… which is probably why I’m frustrated because I just don’t see what’s so hard to understand about it. I probably should have provided an example, come to think of it. But at this point I don’t drop it, I won’t rest until I make myself understood. So… let’s get on with it. Been a month since this thread was started, I don’t know what else we need to do.

@The Mystory  
(I second this.)

@Dusk Raven  
(I still don’t see a difference. I think we should just focus on getting our civilizations started and playing the RP because we aren’t making any progress here.)

@The Mystory  
…Aligned to a player.

@Dusk Raven  
(Techically a player’s civilization can be unaligned. the culture groups that the player controls are Societies that are ether actually Civilizations or big enough Social orders like the hordes of the steppes)

@The Mystory  
Definitely the former, and I wasn’t particularly concerned with realism, given that the Civilization games themselves aren’t particularly realistic. It’s basically just letting the players do what they want with unaligned peoples inhabiting lands not controlled by a player.
 
Honestly, I can’t think of a way to explain it better than I already have, and it sounds like it’d be a hassle anyway…

@Dusk Raven  
(Sorry if I was being rude, I Just don’t understand how you want it to work exactly, I’m ether seeing it as the same thing as player controlled or not realistic eough)

@The Mystory  
Not civilizations.
 
@Jinx  

 
You’re telling me things I already know. I don’t think I’m the one overthinking it. Besides, it was just a suggestion, I’m not going to press it if it’s not what you want.

@The Mystory
 
@Dusk Raven  
Dusk you are overthinking it. This isnt some kind of game program where we can put in a bunch of NPC’s. Its all player controlled

@Dusk Raven
 
@Steve61594
 
@Dusk Raven
 
(I rather jus have all Civilizations be played by a player like normal, it’s too unrealistic for me for a group of Civilizations to just do nothing/barely anything. Sorry if I’m being rude and if I don’t quite understand what you mean or anything.)

@Steve61594  
…I’m not sure how that affects anything I just posted, as I presented those possibilities with that player-driven premise in mind.

@Dusk Raven  
Bud, this will probably be mostly player-driven, with the GM playing just 1 or maybe 2 civilizations at first.
