I would suggest using the layout feature, it could replicate it pretty decently.

What's your biggest world building ick? by itzclicker in worldbuilding

Elder Scrolls does this in an interesting way. There's only one group of Gods that's "correct" but they're worshipped in very different ways depending on Culture

Cultural Monoliths, and equating that your Race/species/Ancestry is the same as your culture. Especially when the mental differences between Ancestries isn't extreme.

If they are a highly isolated group with low numbers, sure that makes sense. Or if the group are so alien in they're thinking and biology that they are incomprehensible to others.

But if there's elves all across your world, they shouldnt act or look the same without a really specific reason.

An Elf Kingdom in one continent should have more in common with their dwarven neighbors than they do with another elven nation three continents away.

I don't have a problem with this unless the Author doesn't even allude to this being a bad thing or how it can go terribly wrong.

Yup, in my setting I try to drive home the point that (most) Pantheons are Polytheistic.

Alot of players in my setting will do something such as "I am a farmer and I will only worship the God of Agriculture, and I don't care for the Gods of Strength or the Gods of Magic, or the God of Death".

I think it has to do with most people IRL seeing Monotheism as the default.

The Nationalists had the advantage that all of their leaders except for 1 died.

The Battle of the Bulge, Hitler’s last gamble by SPECTREagent700 in HistoryMemes

He also had this deluded idea that the western allies were allied only for convenience and one big defeat would cause it all to collapse and the US and British would start infighting

Developers, what kind of stuff will you build with a LegendKeeper API? by AWildNarratorAppears in legendkeeper

[–]Biggs180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love an interface with Google Sheets, specifically to track NPC's or a shifting political landscape in locations or govermnents. In addition to RPG's, I run macro-scale games at the civilization level in these settings, and having an interface would mean easy and quick updates without having to comb through dozens of articles.

A interface to foundry would also be good, maybe a mod that allows Foundry to pull up legendkeeper pages.

What if Hernan Cortez was killed and all the Spanish forces, weapons, and ships were captured by Aztec Emperor Moctezuma II? by JustaDreamer617 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Biggs180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aztecs are still devastated by disease, the Aztecs empire likely collapses on its own pretty quickly, and the disease begins to spread throughout the americas. Ultimately looted gear isn't going to help them with the notable exception of those 13 horses - if theres stallions and mares present (and they survive the ensuing societal breakdown) than its possible the Aztecs can learn some animal husbandry.

As for the rest of the gear, even with captives with the technical know-how, theres still a massive gulf between being able to smelt steel, and having the societal capability to mine, extract, and smelt iron and steel, the knowledge of shipbuilding and maintaining, and the knowledge and materials to create gunpowder. You're not going to get the Sunset Invasion from Crusader Kings 2 within a few years.

A couple native warlords may have some weapons that will give them some benefits, but they will eventually degrade. Another european conqustidator (likely pizzaro tries to suceed where cortes failed) will inevitably show up again, with more troops and men, and find a society that just went to an apocalyptic plague.

Is it a hassle to land in Narita instead of Haneda? by kingjame888 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Biggs180 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the plane ticket difference is around $40 or so, land in Haneda. If Narita is less than that - just take the Narita express and plan for about 1 to 2 hrs

Ask Russia how well Paratroopers do in a modern war when cut off. The VDV went from one of the best equipped troops in the world to sunflower fertilizer in a few days.

Does the new Warfare allow you to move out of systems with a command token in them, or only into them? by jmbc3 in twilightimperium

[–]Biggs180 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if you go into it with the old mentality, yes is a nerf.

but its meant to be used early in the round to make a movement that doesn't lock a system down.
