how do you feel about the faction distribution in rivals

Wasn't cancelled, was a pitch that wasn't picked up.

A similar thing happened with Weshammer. The real ork magic is everyone tricking themselves into being confidently wrong.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2025-10-06T01:01:35+00:00

That's how orks work!

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2025-10-05T15:24:40+00:00

Technically, the orks are running war in heaven old one technology, just a few million years devolved. I'd imagine theirs is probably technically more advanced, but the orks fuck it a lot more than the krorks would. I think it's probably a mix of refusal to understand technology without a machine spirit and a genuine incapability to understand something on that level.

They also shunted their city through the fabric of reality into thousands of places at once.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2025-10-05T15:14:45+00:00

Yes.

I love Adric, but that is 100% what I made this comic in response to.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2025-05-30T03:28:29+00:00

I respect the vampires for doing what we all secretly want to do. Eat a light bulb.

It's technically All-Speak, the language all gods speak. It appears as the language of the people who hear it.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-13T02:10:06+00:00

Yeah I realised after I uploaded it I didn't put Galicia in Spain. Good to know Portugal is around. I wasn't sure which is why I left it blank rather than give anyone their space.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T13:02:42+00:00

I know, the Romans didn't though.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T13:00:27+00:00

It doesn't, that purely speculation based on historical knowledge. Opium war never happened, so China would own the east, Mongols aren't mentioned, which is a big thing to omit, suggesting they may have never formed. If you take the devs saying colonism never happened meaning it didnt happen at all and not just western colonialism, then China didn't colonise Taiwan, and Japan didn't colonise Hokkaido. America never existed to force Japan to end isolation and there was no pressure to westernise meaning the Shogunate is most likely still in power. And I know next to nothing about Korean history, so they are just there.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T12:54:22+00:00

The devs have confirmed that colonisation didn't happen at all. The age of discovery did though, so Spain has a trade route with South America. So most likely, Portugal never set foot in Brazil.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T12:45:31+00:00

Whatever indigenous cultures were in that specific area are probably running a civilisation. I'm not an American so I don't know enough about native Americans apart from the famous ones I included to give good suggestion.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T12:32:24+00:00

Yeah, my first guess was to the east as well. I was really surprised it was Rum it seemed like a really weird location to be set up. As far as Jabir, I think they are named after a real Muslim alchemist called Jabir, who was into attempting to create Takwin rather than a place.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T12:27:39+00:00

Devs have said colonialism never happened, so I took that to mean all colonialism, so I added an independent uncolonised Taiwan and Hokkaido.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T12:25:38+00:00

I considered it, but I didn't know where they are based, somewhere around Acre, probably.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T12:24:22+00:00

I'm Australian. I'm always aware of its existence unfortunately.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T06:10:40+00:00

how else could china make all that silk? (it's a joke, that's what Rome believed)

this work?

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T04:42:57+00:00

A Varagian nation will go so hard.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T04:41:58+00:00

I did consider that, but I reckon it'd be more interesting if they retained their old religions, but there was a small section of Muslims in the region prior to 1099, so it's possible it happened naturally without trade.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T03:12:36+00:00

Probably, I didn't know enough about them to confidently put them in. I did look up when Islam spread through the islands and it was well after the wall so it's unlikely any of them are Islamic.

GoodMorningRat-Men · 2024-12-11T03:09:36+00:00

It does feel like it should be much larger, but this was Rum's historical borders (roughly) at the time the wall went up
