No Dronts or quaggas, skeletons or hogglos, pink elephants or aardwarks? I am an bit disappointed.


You can see REAL life Quaggas again in South Africa. They turned out to be a subspecies, not a species. Their genes are preserved among the Southern or Burchell's zebras. The scientists whofound out bred the most quagga-like stallions to the most quagga-like foals. By the fourth generation, the results were very quagga, indeed. By now, the 5th generation has started arriving.

I would love to know why there appears to be no way of inter-continent trading between BL and Elgea?? And why the Factions appear to be so aggressive towards humans?? ha ha

We can send caravans between the continents but each continent can't see the city to city orders placed on the other continent.  You CAN put a trader from a city in one continent into a hub on the other continent.  (Some people have already done so.)

I think the limitation on city to city trading from Elgea to Broken Lands is a good idea, at least partly because of the distance involved.  Most people would hate to see someone accept an order that would tie up their caravans for 10 days total (5 days in each direction).  It also gives Broken Lands some sense of "pioneering" in that it is a little more difficult to acquire resources and we have to make them ourselves, make do or do without.

You know, the StA finally has an advantage in trading distances!

I'm a bit dismayed really.
A new landmass, full of new opportunities, but already with towns over 30k pop?

Should have only allowed new towns over there, not magically teleport a full metropolis for the old powerblocks to monopolize the resources (again).

The few large cities in Broken Lands will not substantially influence the balance of power in the entire continent.  It's just not possible given the distances.  Perhaps someone is put out about a particular location being taken, but it's a really big landmass.

What's done is done, but it would have been interesting if only settling had been allowed, or if there had been a delay; that is, that only settling was allowed for the first x days and then after that Tenariling was permitted.  Given the distances, not a huge need to delay Exodus -- the slow travel time is a built-in delay.

Something to think about should they ever introduce another continent, in another few years.
