Look great!

How many different terrain types will there be in the game?

Not this many haha! I think we'll have general types like 'deep sea', 'shallow sea', 'grassland', 'hills', 'forest', 'swamp', 'mountains', etc

But we wanted to post all of these more detailed examples to show that you don't need to be limited by the more general tile descriptions. Imagination is the limit!

So many great terrain builds everyone, it was really fun to participate in this!  I especially loved the bamboo forest and sonoran.

Is anything known about the new rules yet?

I am at the end of my patience

No I don't think EGS / Ships are fleshed out yet. It may push back launch date soon I'd like 4 - 6 months to build it out once we have rules finalized. If they were finalized tomorrow, that range is July - September at this point

I hope i won't forget too many of my ideas for town mocs until November

You can build them now, do pictures once done, and store those until needed. Have some picture material ready, and write stories fitting both those MOCs and the upcoming Era III lore if and when it is out.

Really no need to wait with building.

I understand the tactics but building half a year in advance for a game that i play later is not something i want to employ. I want to live in the moment

Lemme know if I can be of assistance. Been a fan of many tabletops, rpgs, and boardgames for a couple decades. I could be pretty handy with game mechanics.

The goal of ERA III should be to retain existing members and attract new members!   

Challenge: "A Storm Brewing" is a good idea! Unfortunately, the number of participants so far is modest. What is necessary and what needs to be done to increase the number of participants?

 

Don’t ask what Brethren of the Brick Seas can do for you! Ask what you can do for Brethren of the Brick Seas!

Maybe people will wander off while waiting and new players will only join when the new era starts. I guess the forum will be quiet until the new game starts While others already started building

[evancelt]

The 'A Storm Brewing' challenge ends at the end of March - we have more ERA II --> ERA III challenges that will come after that one closes (though I don't know if they will have physical prizes - maybe in-game ERA III prizes!)

In my case it’s mostly a general lack of IRL time! However, I should be able to build for the challenge before the deadline and for the joint AMRCA we have started in Oleon.

For current players, I think that a great push back is also not knowing whether the current settlements will exist in Era III, or if the map will undergo radical changes. A good share of the builds has always been EGS related (mines, artisans, factories…), something that doesn’t really make sense if the current islands or settlements will disappear. With Era III, I think we’ll have a recovery in this sense.
