Hi,
I'm gathering information for the alliances ITG and SMA about Shrapnel. Now this is the information I have about this great man. A quote from him, regarding his goals for the first training alliance can be found here: The news of his death can be found here: He has a mention in the History of Illyriad- Incomplete that leaves more questions than answers And I know from my time in the alliances confederated with FDU-S that he was the one with the idea for the 5% base on sovereignty squares. His comments can be found here: But what I cannot find is when the Devs instituted the change. Can anyone help me find that information? Thanks in advance, Alestrenia |

I think you are misunderstanding Shrapnel's post regarding the 5% base. He was referring to basic resource production. He proposes that instead of the way basic resource sovereignty works where you essentially get (res value/5) per level of sovereignty (for example a 20-food sov square gives you 20/5 or 4% food bonus per level) there should be an extra 5% at level 1. That was never implemented.

Also, any history of Shrapnel should include mention of his alt Grog. He passed away before I started playing, but I played with many who knew him.

Thank you for responding, Rill. Yes it does appear after further research that what I was told about the devs implementing a change in sovereignty due to Shrapnel's suggestion was incorrect. I don't think that reduces his legacy, though. I know very little about Grog. I know he started the alliance that later became BSH, and that he liked drink and elf women. Beyond that, I will have to do more research. |

GM Stormcrow has stated elsewhere on the forum and in global chat that Shrapnel made a number of important contributions to Illyriad as a game from a coding perspective. I don't know what the details of those are, but I know that his input was valued and that they even considered offering him a role on the Illyriad team. GM Stormcrow or ThunderCat would know more about the specifics of that.
