>>486952
ok for this beta i am going to use just the text but in future versions we need to pick a symbol for each to make it cool.

got the gets and rules stuff almost done, doing the colors and name section next, but going to make coffee

>>486946
OK, so this map is Middle Earth uber dork. It would take me ~45min to do a super brief history lesson (pulled from the Akalabeth, the Silmarrilion, and Appendices 1-6) so leave that one for a bit.

Rules/Rolls are posted here>>486710
!jW6 is adding them to the map as we speak

Gameplay is the same as regular 4chan risk:

To roll, link a post to the Mupdate (Map Update) containing:
>your leader name, faction name, and tripcode in the Name field
>clear instructions for where you wish to go/attack
>a minimum of 1 line of Role Play

You should always remember to link your roll post so it does not get missed. OPing is harder than it seems, especially in my/our threads.

You can effectively RP without knowing the history, so long as you can figure out what a dwarf, an elf, an orc, or a man (think medieval folks) is. just type one of the races listed + "middle earth" into Google search and skim the first link (not the Ad, lol) you find.

I personally find Tolkien Mythology fascinating and as such i have an assistant professor's equivalent knowledge of the lore. this is not required to play well.

what is required is tactical capability, narrative intuition, diplomatic tenacity and a healthy dose of luck.

i hope that clears it up a bit. keep asking if you have more questions. get as granular as you want. i am a huge nerd with no life or friends outside of 4chan so i gots time!

The Noldor cut into the ranks of the Uruk-hai. The fall like over ripe grain.

The shamed Danelings begin their trail of bear tears south as the Thorinlings expand from their new base of conflict in the Iron Hills.

The halflings, maybe the greates Race in terms of unrestricted expansion, push South and East in Souther Eriador as the Cirdani consolidate their holdings in the Westerlands.

The Easterlings utilize their capability to spread unfettered, bringing them into contact with the Nomadic Danelings.

Before anything else we keep an eye on the Danelings that they honor our peace (ie defend if attacke).

If there be sufficient supplies we also march on the Sindar to the west, without crossing the forest river and therefore avoiding costly movement of troops.

take note of the map. i am drawing more Ts. look at the SE US where i am increasing the Ts... planning to keep doing it. have left room for a shit ton of text and rules and shit... i did miss you bro... last 3 days have been shit for risk

have fun on mtn?

also, you can interupt my threads anytime bro... sorry i wasnt properly tripd. i was the host of that thread

>>499964
This is... excellent. the next step would be the sub maps. i think it is important to make sure they are pulled directly from this map.

on this one, having a big rule bank is cool. but on the submaps, it needs to be simple and precise. they way it should function is that rando an0ns can play and contribute to the Histories, but they don't need to know that. so... an approved OP can run a canonical map on /b/, /pol/, /tg/, etc and we can incorporate it as we see fit. You get what i am saying?

i was hella busy and i forced myself to not check in, but i am such a NEET faggot that i am sitiing there being all cool and normie and all i can think about is whether or not good games are being played. B^)))))

>>499971
pretty much my thoughts exactly. i wanted to begin dividing things up on this map then take it to create smaller maps. the original is based on population, and since we are starting unique cultures etc that doesnt make sense to have some regions with big ts and others with small on Earthv2.0 so to speak.
i get it. would the first couple rounds have different (higher) gets to allow faster expansion? then once the space starts fill that gets nerfed a bit?
lol, yeah lately i have lived for my nights on here really. work is stressful and personal life is shit until i move back to bama in a year so yeah. missed you though, not just the games but he idea bouncing etc.
do we need to start a new thread on tg?

A pol thread would be great. We are always looking for more risk threads

>>499971

THIS IS NOT A MUPDATE. ROLLS TO THIS POST WILL NOT BE COUNTED.

This is a roll call to reclaim/claim a faction.

80 years have passed since the truce in the Northern Wars, or the Dwarven Wars. In that time, the Danelings and the Thorinlings have had a somewhat stable alliance, solidified further by the spread of Easterling settlements in the Northeast.

The Celebrimbori have taken the refugees from the sack of Thranduil's Kingdom and given them a place in the foothills of the Misty Mountians, West of Lothlorien. Kingless and broken, they wander the forests in the ever-eve, yearning for a leader to take them north and cast out the Dwarven invaders.

The Haradrim have pushed far enough North to enter into the considerations of the Dol Amrothi, who recently absorbed the remnants of the Bardings, who were pushed South by the Thorinlings. Dol Amrothis is stronger for it, but with the Gondorians soon to be displaced by the Uruk-hai, their ability to respond nimbly to a Southern incursion is somewhat in question.

The Halflings have carved an enormous empire out of Eriador from the holdings in the West of the Cirdani to the Southern Misty Mountains.

Former rollers with the matching TripCode get priority. If they do not show up by the 2nd Mupdate their faction will open up.

No faction can be eliminated; if they are kebbabed, a remnant will be placed in the holdings of their closest Kin Race and they will become envassaled.

Factions and their leaders:

Celebrimbori: !!stuZpp9Llo1
Thorinlings: !jW6nLKIRE6
Halflings: !!AXJwqEGl8YK
Cirdani: !!kkCDXDI0Xrp

bumping, if it still does bump... talking to you later today. got to sleep now

checking in

In the Far West are the Cirdani, cousins to the Noldor and shipwrights since time immemorial.

Dominating Eriador is the Kingdom of the Hobbits. This stout folk are lately come to their glory, but no other race can defend what they hold as these small folk do.

To their immediate North is the Goblin Domain. Under a young and impetuous King, the Goblin Folk signed a treaty with their blood sworn Dwarvish enemies and carved out a Reach larger than any Goblin holding in the History of Middle Earth, even into the forgotten ages of Beleriand.

In the East, the Easterlings are strong, but they have been leaderless for almost a century.

The might of Gondor seemed only a memory when the Uruk-hai poured from Mordor and sacked Osgiliath and Minas Tirith. 80 years thence, a young man took the throne claiming lineage to the Andals of old, and wrested control of the cities from the Uruk-hai. Not content to only regain, he marched his host to the base of Orodruin as he began a war on the Noldor to his North.

In the Southwest, the Dol Amrothi are content to ply the seas and provide for their children as well as the remnant of the Bardings they have taken on as Vassals after the Thorinlings pushed them out of Esgaroth-on-the-Long-Lake.

In the South, the Harradrim make trade and tribal war on each other for sport, but the Gondorians have pushed their frontiers up to the border and have even sought redress for territories taken generations ago.

>>509369
News from the northeast tells of Magni's death. He was not alone. By his side holding his hand stood his son and new king of the Dwarfs - Thorin II the Bronzebeard. These both sad and joyful days for the Durinfolk as they lay to rest the old regime and usher in the new. With Moria finally rebuilt under the central Misty Mountains, a new king takes the new throne...

>>509431
The Elves weep for him.

I have begun writing the Histories of the Fifth Age. I will post when i have something worth reading. Do you think we can get a game going tonight?

>>509431
Perhaps most striking about this new King is his secreted love for his Sindarian mistress. His father, while sending most of the Wood elves into exile did take many as slaves. Many rumors are spreading that Magni died of heartache upon finding his son Thorin lying in his chamber with a young Sindarian slave girl. While the King's council deny this many inside Moria have confirmed seeing an elvish girl sneaking around the palace late at night with no dwarven escort... a very interesting sight indeed.

This is the account of the Fifth Age of Middle Earth. This is a record of the battles, the leaders, and the general goings on of the Great Races of Middle Earth. It has been said that time and tide make fools of us all. As a Noldorin, I am hampered by the bias of eternal hindsight. As such, I will always be displeased with the record keeping of so many disparate events. Nonetheless, I will endeavor to make this an accurate retelling of the Race Wars of the Fifth Age of Middle Earth.

The Races

The Great Races of Middle Earth in the 5th age were the Elves, the Dwarves, the Races of Men, the Orcs, and the Hobbits. There was some deviation within the races, and oft times this Kindred Races were given over to warfare and disagreement.

Elves

There were three tribes of Elves: the Celebrimbori, the Cirdani, and the Sindar.

The Celebrimbori were Noldorin and had their Kingdom in Lothlorien and Northern Rohan. Like all Elves, they had a very high opinion of themselves. Their craftsmanship was unparalleled and their armies were fierce and tall.

In the Far West the Cirdani, cousins of the Noldor, dominated the Northwest Coast. Though generally peaceful, they were not a race to be trifled with. The only other race that came close to matching their abilities were the Dol Amrothi of Southwest Gondor.

In the North of Mirkwood lay the Kingdom of the Sindar. Though lesser than their distant cousins, the Sindar were still proud and capable in fighting. Their woodcraft was unmatched even by the crafty Noldor.

Dwarves

There were two tribes of Dwarves: the Danelings and the Thorinlings.

Men

There were six tribes of Men: the Bardings, the Easterlings, the Rohirrim, the Gondorians, the Dol Amrothi, and the Harradrim.

Orcs

There were two tribes of Orcs: the Goblins and the Uruk-hai.

Hobbits

There was only one tribe of Hobbits, as Hobbits see no deviations of Race amongst themselves.

The Histories

The Opening of the Fifth Age

At the dawning of the Fifth Age, Gondor was bereft of a King or an effective Stewart. The Rohirrim were little more than a leaderless band of horse raiders. The merchants of Dol Amroth had quietly grown to become as powerful as their kin in the other lands of Middle Earth.
Of the lower Races of Men, the Easterlings had grown the strongest as the Haradrim had a massive desert to contend with. Despite this, the rule of Hamad I was marked by massive expansion into the West. Uncontested by Elves or Men, their only real potential foe were the Dwarven Tribes. Though more than capable on the open plains, the Haradrim would be hard pressed to contend with a united front from the Mountain Dwarves. But a rift between the Danelings and the Thorinlings gave them the opportunity to march deep into Rhovanion, further than they had ever gone before. Concurrently, they pushed into Mordor while the Uruk-hai were busy pushing into Gondor under the reign of Sauron the Lesser. The Uruks took Osgiliath and Minas Tirith before Sauron the Lesser disappeared. The Noldor, seeing a land bereft of a Race of Mastery, began an Eastward expansion in an attempt to bring Rhovanion and Northern Rohan to heel. They went as far as to expand into the frontiers of East Eriador. In Lindon, the Cirdani expanded along the coast. The Hobbits, under the leadership of Lucius the Blessed, expanded their control through much of Central and Northern Eriador, pushing as far North as the lands of the Goblins. In Northern Rhovanian and Enedwaith, the Thorinlings spread unchecked, making war on the Bardings, the Sindar, and even their Daneling Kin. At the end of their bloody conquest, their holdings stretched from the Northern Misty Mountains to the Iron Hills and South to the Mirkwood Road. After 120 years of sporadic conflict, the Noldor and the Thorinlings had emerged as the strongest races, though the Easterlings controlled massive amounts of territory in the Far East. The Haradrim spread unchecked in the South and created a salient in the extreme South of Gondor.
